What’s More Likely: Rich Eisen Talks Kyler, AFC South vs AFC North, NBA Playoffs, WNBA & James Bond

0:00 What?

0:01 What's more likely?

0:03 Never say never, but never.

0:05 All right.

0:05 What do you got over there, Christopher?

0:06 It's What's More Likely presented by Pella Windows and Doors.

0:09 Hey guys, happy Friday.

0:10 TJ, great to see you, Rich.

0:12 Always great to see.

0:12 By the way,

0:12 I love this shot.

0:13 You've got the Pella Windows and Doors bug, if you will.

0:16 Top left of the screen,

0:18 bottom right of the screen, the Pella Windows and Doors helmet.

0:21 Look at this.

0:23 Almost got it.

0:24 It's like It's like the sun in the sky.

0:26 No, you can't grab it.

0:27 No, it's not there.

0:28 It's

0:29 You can touch the helmet though.

0:30 You got the helmet.

0:30 There you go.

0:31 Well done

0:31 again.

0:31 TJ, great to see you.

0:32 Rich, great to see you.

0:33 Good to see you.

0:34 Say hi to Jay.

0:35 I see what's happening.

0:37 Who?

0:36 Say hi to Jay.

0:40 See?

0:39 Anyway, David Atenburgh fat

0:41 face to bring it back.

0:43 More likely to live to be 101.

0:46 Guys, we heard from Tom earlier about the uh a quarterback battle in Minnesota.

0:51 Yeah, right.

0:52 We know it's going to be Kyler Murray.

0:53 Who's more likely to have more touchdown passes this year,

0:56 Kyler Murray or all Cardinals quarterbacks combined?

0:59 At first it sound like you said calamari and I was like

1:02 um calamari by the way.

1:05 By the way, you got to have the red sauce.

1:07 Don't don't give me some sort of side dip like I'm like like it's a French fry.

1:12 You know what I mean?

1:12 We had red sauce with calamari in Pittsburgh.

1:15 Calamari with some marinara.

1:17 You know,

1:17 I'm good on the squid.

1:18 All right.

1:21 Calamari.

1:21 I it gives it gives me so much pain to be straight up honest with you.

1:25 I understand

1:26 that if Kyler Murray is taking on JJ McCarthy in a straight up battle

1:33 that there's a thumb on the scale for JJ and the fact

1:36 we gave up a u first round draft choice to choose him.

1:42 We used one to choose him, right?

1:45 We traded other draft capital up a spot to use him.

1:48 We We did not go full boore on Sam Darnold for him,

1:57 so we might as well see what we got while we can.

2:01 That's the thumb on the scale for for JJ.

2:04 The thumb on the scale for Kyler Murray is

2:06 he costs $1.3 million for one year and we've got

2:10 a shot to see what he looks like and he's

2:12 got a heck of a lot more experience than

2:14 JJ McCarthy and he's got a chip on his own

2:17 shoulder in a different way than JJ does

2:20 and we are going to go with the new guy

2:25 because we have more contractual control over the young guy.

2:30 We're still in no rush.

2:32 The only rush would be we've got to pick up a fifth year option.

2:36 So what do we care?

2:40 We got JJ can just sit there and learn.

2:42 It'll suck for him.

2:44 But does that then turn Kyler into the next

2:49 Sam Darnold where you're just like we're

2:52 going to still stick with JJ or does that wait for it turn JJ into Josh Rosen

3:00 for Kyler?

3:02 Man,

3:02 this is what's happening right now.

3:03 I know.

3:04 It's fascinating.

3:04 And it kind of kills me and pains me to sit here and say straight up,

3:11 no thumbs on scales.

3:13 H unless JJ has a full complete rebirth from where few mistakes get made,

3:22 less mistakes get made.

3:25 I It's tough for me to see how Kyler doesn't beat him up.

3:27 Be tough,

3:28 huh?

3:28 It shouldn't be tough.

3:29 You know what I mean?

3:30 Like you can love somebody and love something, but OB, you know.

3:35 Okay, so I'll go Kyler Murray, Chris,

3:37 because I don't know the quarterbacks combined for, you know,

3:40 the Cardinals and and how that's going to go and does Jeremiah Love get

3:43 a ton of touches inside the five and he runs them in or, you know,

3:47 how's Carson Beck going to look?

3:50 Yep.

3:49 Uh, if he gets out there, yada yada yada yada yada.

3:53 So talking a lot about Aaron Rodgers and AFC North quarterback

3:59 too much about it.

4:00 Who's more likely to win more playoff games this year?

4:03 The AFC North or the NFC North?

4:11 Well, I think more teams from the NFC North will make it.

4:15 Really?

4:16 Yeah.

4:16 How about that?

4:18 Little stunning.

4:21 Why?

4:21 Why?

4:21 We just talked about how the Vikings could be better.

4:24 One of your sons is back.

4:25 Join the Lions.

4:27 Lamar and the Ravens have reloaded.

4:28 Okay.

4:29 You seem to think the Steelers are going to be good this year.

4:32 So, there's another one.

4:33 I got it.

4:34 I'll go then.

4:35 NFC North.

4:39 Okay.

4:38 So, you don't like the answer?

4:43 Sorry.

4:43 Just providing the opposing point.

4:45 What else?

4:46 Uh, how about this one?

4:47 I'm watching Man Jay.

4:49 Oh, Jay, you're here.

4:50 Oh, hey.

4:50 See you.

4:51 Uh, Fernando Vendoza looks looking good.

4:54 He's slinging it at Raiders mini camp right now.

4:57 Slanging it.

4:57 Slanging it.

4:58 More likely positioned to win offensive rookie of the year,

5:01 quarterback, running back, wide receiver.

5:05 So, you were asking about Jeremiah Love,

5:08 unless you think Jadarian Price or somebody that we don't even see coming

5:11 in a in a in a draft that was supposed to be less than at the running back,

5:15 right?

5:15 Never know.

5:16 Um, the wide receiver position was highly drafted.

5:22 It was

5:23 more than the quarterback spot.

5:24 A wide receiver won it last year, so I know there might be some

5:28 wide receiver voters.

5:29 Yeah.

5:30 Wide receiver fatigue.

5:31 Yeah.

5:32 Yeah.

5:33 WRF.

5:34 Yeah.

5:35 There's a pill for that.

5:36 Consult your doctor.

5:37 I think

5:42 see if uh consult your doctor to see if Tettoa is right for you.

5:47 Cage hates Trifaya for some reason.

5:50 Why?

5:49 I don't know.

5:51 Commercials annoy him and he's just like, I hate Trumpa.

5:54 Doesn't even know what it does.

5:55 It's a big word for him, right?

5:56 Well, just be thankful he didn't grow up

5:58 in the era of all those footballs being thrown through tires

6:04 and elder, you know, couples of a certain age holding hands with a sunset

6:09 over their separate tubs.

6:10 I know.

6:11 I get it.

6:11 Cuz that was constantly going while our kids were cages age.

6:15 All right.

6:16 You should be thankful for dancing people

6:19 for medications that you don't know about skins.

6:22 I am

6:23 skin diseases.

6:23 A1C or whatever that's all right.

6:25 Oh, that's

6:26 I'm all right.

6:27 Bees, bro.

6:27 That's different.

6:28 But that's the singing commercial.

6:29 All right.

6:31 Um, I'll go quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

6:35 That's just a gut and a feel.

6:36 That's it.

6:37 Got it.

6:37 Just a gut and a feel.

6:38 He's going to start week one.

6:40 I don't know about that.

6:41 Just cuz he's looking good.

6:42 He is slinging it.

6:43 Okay.

6:44 Just because he's taken snaps under center at hotels.

6:47 Oh my gosh.

6:49 Okay.

6:49 What else?

6:50 He talked to James Gladstone uh this week.

6:52 seem to think the plan is still the plan for Travis Hunter.

6:56 Play both ways.

6:56 That delighted me.

6:57 Is it more likely Travis Hunter has more touchdowns or interceptions this year?

7:02 I'll go I'll go interceptions cuz you heard you

7:04 heard they're going to use him on defense more.

7:07 I'll go interceptions, you know, but it depends.

7:11 Where's Brian Thomas in terms of uh

7:15 Great.

7:15 Great question.

7:16 You know what I mean?

7:17 So clear.

7:18 Um they they appear to want to put him on defense more than offense.

7:27 So, I'll go I'll go interceptions.

7:30 Good question, though.

7:33 Yeah,

7:33 just throw it out.

7:33 Oh, music change.

7:34 Music change.

7:37 Topic change.

7:38 Who's more likely to win win a game in their series?

7:40 That's like a Barry Manalo song, you know?

7:42 There's always a key change right in the middle of it.

7:45 All right, looks like we made it.

7:47 What do you got over there, man?

7:48 More likely to win a game in their series.

7:49 Sixers, Lakers, or Cavs?

7:55 H Oh, I I'll go Cavs.

8:00 Really?

7:59 Yeah, I'll go Cavs.

8:00 I think they go home and and take one, if not both, and keep this a series.

8:06 Interesting.

8:06 You know?

8:09 Yeah.

8:08 And in terms of the Sixers and Lakers,

8:10 they they came and they gave without taking.

8:12 Is that a Barry Man song?

8:14 Yeah.

8:14 Okay.

8:14 It's Mandy.

8:17 He came and they gave without taking.

8:18 Got it.

8:19 NBA draft lottery.

8:20 A win.

8:20 You see what I mean?

8:22 NBA draft lottery.

8:22 I came and they gave effort.

8:23 I disagree without taking away a win.

8:25 What?

8:25 What?

8:26 What do you disagree with?

8:27 Which one?

8:28 It's got six.

8:28 But how?

8:28 Give me your answer.

8:29 Sixers tonight.

8:30 Sixers going to win a game.

8:31 Are you kidding me?

8:31 You think so?

8:32 Do I think so?

8:33 I know.

8:34 So I put money on.

8:35 I think they're harder than I don't know, man.

8:37 They might have to go silent snap tonight.

8:39 I don't think they're geotagging is going to work.

8:41 See?

8:41 And that's the exact reason why we're winning.

8:44 Why?

8:44 Why?

8:45 Why?

8:47 Why?

8:48 cuz you're over here trying to make jokes like it's a joke.

8:50 This ain't a game.

8:51 It's real life.

8:51 It's Philly.

8:53 Are favorite tonight.

8:54 Is that right?

8:55 Yeah.

8:55 Yeah, they should be.

8:56 I don't know.

8:56 The Nova Knicks are coming down with

8:58 You don't have OG.

8:59 We're used to not playing with

9:01 New Yorkers who act like they've won something.

9:03 All right.

9:03 That seems like no OG.

9:04 Yeah, but they're on they're on.

9:05 You know what they've won?

9:06 You know, but they've won they've won through uh thick, thin, and geotagging.

9:11 Look, we're used to playing without MB.

9:13 You were not used to playing without OG.

9:15 Thick, thin, and geotagging.

9:16 I think is a Blues Brothers song.

9:18 Got it,

9:19 guys.

9:19 NBA lottery on Sunday.

9:23 Oh,

9:22 300 p.m.

9:23 Eastern.

9:23 I said 3 p.m.

9:25 Let's not do that.

9:27 Uh kind of buried in the middle of Mother's Day.

9:29 Uh is it more likely that after the lottery we think everything is

9:33 on the up and up or somebody with a milk chance moves up?

9:39 What does that mean?

9:39 We think everything's on the up.

9:41 That we think any everything went down with no shenanigans?

9:44 There's no shenanigans in this.

9:46 This is insane.

9:47 You are insane.

9:48 You need to get ready for Golden State to win the lottery on Sunday.

9:51 Fine.

9:51 And then then it's on the up and up.

9:53 What are you talking about?

9:55 It is not on the up.

9:56 There's no world that Golden State can win this is what you're saying.

9:59 Like if if the Warriors win this, then it's

10:01 So the year that

10:02 they literally have a milk chance.

10:04 So the year What does that mean?

10:07 2%.

10:07 You got me on that.

10:08 You see, come on now.

10:10 I miss

10:11 again.

10:11 So we talked about

10:12 the Thunder could have the first pick in the draft.

10:14 talked about this with Winhorse just the other day.

10:18 So when Zion and and Jo come out of the out

10:24 of the in the draft and Memphis and New Orleans wind up with those picks.

10:30 It can't be rigged any Oh,

10:32 so it was just to throw Was it rigged to throw you off the rigged?

10:35 Oh, okay.

10:36 So it's always rigged and sometimes they rig

10:38 it to throw you off the rigged scent.

10:39 So Dallas has the worst trade in NBA

10:41 history and then they get the number one pick.

10:43 Where does it stop by?

10:45 And by the way, it's I think if it's still

10:48 I've been listening to a shade too much.

10:49 It's still multiple pingpong balls, right?

10:53 So you think everything is just going to go fine and dandy on Sunday.

10:56 It's still what, like four or five and it's

10:58 nothing weird's going to happen.

10:59 Correct.

11:00 Or and or if it's something weird happens, it's because it's random.

11:04 Get out of here.

11:05 Nothing is random.

11:06 So I'll go with I'll go with a milk chance moving up.

11:09 I'm not going to sit here and say, "Oh, yeah.

11:11 It's more likely that it's not on the up and up.

11:14 No, no, no.

11:15 We think everything is on the up.

11:16 Okay, so then I'll take that.

11:20 Whatever.

11:19 Take your tinfoil hat off, man.

11:22 You want to ask Rollap?

11:23 Cuz Rollap knows things.

11:25 I bet he knows about the NBA draft lottery.

11:28 He knows that there would be.

11:29 He knows.

11:30 We should ask him if he thinks the NFL should have a lottery.

11:34 Okay.

11:35 that the CEO of the PGA Tour who works

11:39 who worked in the NFL offices for two decades.

11:42 I said two decades.

11:43 He knows that if something like this happened,

11:48 it would be a major conspiracy that would blow everything up.

11:52 So there's no chance of it happening.

11:55 And what is it?

11:56 What what they WhatsApp.

11:58 So Adam Silver WhatsApps somebody so it

12:00 just disappears and there there's no paper trail.

12:03 Nobody leaks it.

12:04 Nobody talks about it

12:05 in in 30 years.

12:07 Well, just cuz Tim Donah was on a take doesn't mean

12:10 the whole sport is a tinfoil hat constru just Tim Donahe Rich Eisen.

12:16 Okay.

12:17 What else?

12:17 Two more.

12:18 I said two more.

12:19 Oh my god.

12:19 We We can't We can't keep

12:21 Let's get this going.

12:21 Brian Rollap's here.

12:23 Who's more likely to be WNBA MVP this year?

12:28 Okay.

12:27 Asia Caitlyn Paige or the field?

12:29 I'll go with the rest of the Women's Sports Now um hosts yesterday.

12:34 All three of them cuz Sarah was uh not on the show yesterday.

12:37 Renee, Colleen, and Susie all took Deja.

12:39 All of them.

12:41 All of them.

12:41 All three of them.

12:42 So, beast again.

12:44 She's got like six of them.

12:46 Yeah.

12:47 Well, actually, I believe this will be her fourth.

12:49 So, she'll be close to that exaggeration.

12:52 So, last one.

12:53 Uh on this day, I think in 1963, James Bond debuted for the first time.

12:58 Dr.

12:58 No.

12:59 Guys, who's more likely to be your favorite James Bond?

13:01 Shan Connory, Roger Moore, Pierce Bros, or Daniel Craig?

13:04 Oh, come on now.

13:05 It's always Shan Connory.

13:06 Certainly since I was accused of looking

13:08 like him on draft night with my turtleneck, white beard.

13:12 Well, Shan Connory on Celebrity Jeopardy.

13:15 That's what I kept saying.

13:16 Somebody told you you look like Shan Connor?

13:18 Oh my god.

13:19 You had the Oh, yeah.

13:20 I had I had the turtleneck and the suit.

13:24 So, you don't have a beard in his All right.

13:27 Good stuff.

13:27 Hey, you made it all the way to the end.

13:29 Thanks for that.
