Welcome back WGR sports talk Saturday we do every see here eleven to two lines out to watch you as always thanks a lot. For joining me one hour the books two hours ago we got to get to still we're gonna have -- scale you -- NFL draft Buffalo Bills we'll get the update of what's going -- with Stanford -- Visiting the bills this week we'll talk to Joseph about that just a little while once the poll numbers back out there to yeah. 803055888552. Pipe that he -- Paper that one. We we are talking about the sabres what we -- think they'll finish I am on record today predicting. I think this team makes the playoffs. What I she got them the last what six games. They are playing. The best hockey they played a while obviously at the very beginning of the year. But I don't think it's nearly as impossible on the task to catch the teens in front of them as a lot of other people seem to thinks there's still -- hockey left. Don't have to worry about catching -- now just catch tent and then not and then eight and I think the key to climb -- seven at six is what you get there. There's only couple points separating those teams tonight's big game. -- -- the table bay lightning will have the action for you right here pregame at six puck drops just after seven a WGR were also talking if you. If you -- led to another city randomly where you don't really. You have a rooting interest and TV is go to a game I'm doing that this weekend tomorrow night LB. At The Palace of Auburn Hills near Detroit Michigan -- -- to the worst teams in the NBA. Washington Wizards in the Detroit Pistons yes -- no job all be there that's great so I'll get you to see him. But other and that. I've no other rooting interest than just to go to would and The Hague avenue one my entire life actually that was downed Orlando so the magic play when I was living in Florida. Never had a chance to go to NBA game other than that so that's why I'm doing it. A -- Detroit -- -- my Brothers are businesses weeks -- where to take that in as well also wanna thank. All the new followers on Twitter at a budget meet today if you haven't done that yet please go do that I sell sports on Twitter thanks a lot to Adam also voice of truth. Another Twitter name but at a also texted me on twittered to me now. -- have to trade also included future considerations which turned into Eric does that so. Yes that's right I I agree that and I remember that and thank you very much. Adam for reminding me of that also on Twitter your hash tag. Today. Hash -- WG -- our sabers at the number sign. And the word that letters WGR word sabres all one word to -- your -- you predict where the sabres will finish giving your prediction. I'm where the sabres will finish okay we finally got the -- to get down of the pilgrimage drag -- this -- out for a little while. His time is limited because he's watching so much dark film down there. On all these players about the 2012 drab -- did a great job on WGR draft blog as always will shift our attention that right now welcome -- Arrojo was Kelly -- -- supplement. -- Celtics revenue got to get them. No problem as always before I get to the draft. Last week I forgot to ask you -- little -- outright Lindell your report came out just done about a day or so before we went on so. Just got to tidy things up there about Ryan Lindell he's back in the fall for another few years right. Yeah right -- side -- four year deal and and it's a good move I mean he's been. Just just a consistent for sure that doesn't. And you know he's really I mean -- you can -- I think scandals took Ryan -- for granted and then what he got hurt -- -- deliberate or get in there that Brandon it's too. Which will be a great true reader question answer in like five years or so -- which occurred weeks seventy. Hit -- you know they did didn't really know they -- with what went out and took Rupert grant than what they -- what with what else out there. It really really kind of resonates. -- -- act the kicker and so -- that they need to lock up and he wants to be here too which is which can also import so. -- belt site looks for years and and around two point 75 -- I think what the EQ wise so -- though is your little ultra. Okay looking -- much deeper route reports are that. He recently cut cornerback from the Oakland Raiders lead visiting the bills this week. The report from Justine Anderson of ESPN. Who is in touch with his agents Deborah agents. She's she reported that it'll be -- will be visiting with the bills beginning in the tomorrow sometime tomorrow night sometime and that. Doing it official visit on Monday. So -- there are some other team's interest that you mentioned the titans there's another report today that -- Cowboys are interested in a couple of other -- so you know he's it's starting quarterback he started the past he's beaten for the raiders. Eagle at ten interceptions over that seven year career which. You know we can believe that maybe you're not really the proposed. Play on the. All I know we have we have enough of those got -- I think that's exactly and in his defense -- mr. first three either by. You know ten interceptions in seven years the quarterback still kinda in you know kind of experience like I I broke open itself. Different route to me. You know. It it would be more the same I would rather see what -- You know -- Williams will evidently be in the lineup and maybe address that so somewhere else you know I just don't know he'd be answered and other physical. Type of guy that takes a lot of penalties from what I understand him. And so that that certainly should edit the things too but the built showing interest. They were visits scheduled on Monday it will we'll see what happens there. Okay let's get onto the task at hand this week's rankings on the draft blog at our website. WGR 550 dot com what position did you ranked. I went with linebackers the debt. And the Indians Earl linebackers in terms. You know 43 linebackers than what side they would sit. It if they were to be an outside linebacker so this is that's a totally built central rankings. Because you know obviously they have Kelvin -- in the middle authority committed to ending the Mike in the 43 so. There's. If they ever really. Discussed who's going to be on the weak side is going to be on the strong side. Where part that's gonna play into that equation put. The so -- you know my top point five linebackers and and everywhere they would fit best into in two with a 43 scheme. Okay so let's start it from the very top tell us a little that this kid from Boston College I don't wanna mess up his name can you tell me how to say correctly. Basically OK like so like -- -- -- -- ticket. It's that what it looks equally okay and idiocy is -- what -- from Boston college and just. Don't know how to spell it KUECHLY. It's it's it's kind of interesting that -- -- I don't really noted maybe maybe a little Australian to a I don't know it's don't know that but I. Take the Australian for linebacker. Look at what a literal Appalachian. Looked equally. Last year at 191 total tackles the Florida a 183 total tackles the report that a 168. Total tackles let me. If you want to see where the ball is on any given -- play or. He goes up by the sideline he will be right around it probably bring the ball carrier doubt noticed that at bat speed in the world but. But you know he's just. It is instinctive he has great recognition -- -- colossal steps -- get -- by play -- -- so -- -- The -- Get that top -- Team work that you that right now when it when it's all said and done but. I think he's inevitably a first rounder and someone that can be plugged into the starting lineup immediately couple weeks. Okay this is like the all named draft we have this guy what do we -- merciless and now we have. -- -- -- picked up some effect will be quite eat eggs everything not perfect because you have a number two. Yeah violence that's perfect is. If you have very interesting case now which in ease of dairy. Emotional player that will lose his cool which. They're flying blind with the center of what you want your defenders have a certain amount of crazy to them. But you don't want that they have too much credence to them because that they start her team ski boat that lying global each and every game that the accused. And unreal -- size and speed for referred a linebacker -- State -- just that he and six with three to 45 -- he played a blanket or three. The you know he didn't have the greatest years this past year. There's. If there's these huge gap reached the wrong apple botched but -- with with Perl six leaders -- you know. Huge shading but mentality -- in -- Or get a lot of highlight -- them and you know he has the bodies. Bodies of you know be effective then and that her abilities -- birther Belichick in the NFL I think perfect. It if he can get his head screwed on right I think he could. Potentially be successful player he's over plus there's no in between what they have it's either going to be. Great or it's gonna be one of the worst -- -- Everglades so it if he's around the second round. It popped up until I might even just take a chance -- -- because. It means outside there are so tremendous that if you call that strong side -- and he ends up working out since then you've got so. But go to divorced couples or worse I mean linebackers are easier to find anyways so you can display and that's fine would later on the draft pick yet that that's kind free agency it. And he didn't. He can do. Q what kind of the starting lineup and in the meantime until you are long term addressed that so that -- fiddles and I see him sit there are sliding down rather than the second. -- second round hectic in the second round I take -- shot it is he's an interest in case. We also another great name tank Carter he Reagan thirteenth lot of that's a great linebacker David Joseph -- same question is last week lastly there's a lot of guys are really big name schools and topping your board here. Boston College years in a state Alabama Oklahoma cal Nebraska. So where can we find a diamond in the rough maybe where would you look to -- Utah State Bobby Wagner the guide is Travers take harder. How about one of these small school guys who might be a guy later on a look at. I like. I'll -- Carter apology doesn't have the past. Skills he doesn't have that Atlantis -- of in the world but I mean you watch him play. And he's just always a lot of and it always around play in and they each got such an interesting story to beat. I knew it world class -- -- -- what he was a teenager. That what you're after. Oh your actors you know being -- an Inca. National title in that. Say you've got into a series car accident that in seventh critical. Paralyzed and he saw back all the -- from that it meets you can tell this it's just a diet that. Doesn't take anything for granted. -- -- -- Every every -- intently at every single play it's. They hit it and you might not fatal bronze star city probably the weak side linebacker in the NFL. But I just I I can't send -- back against a guy like that I mean that a guy who that the overcome like that. And the has played it out very high level at. That's at TCU who's been who has been a great program over the past three years that -- Three years that it doesn't matter. I can't bet against that type players so I think he's a definite diamond in the rough at worst a great special teams player. Their best start in which side linebacker urging. So -- -- -- at WGR 550 -- Thomas -- now the wide receivers the -- to tackle the interior linemen a separate post. The defense events defense to tackles and now linebackers what's next week ago. Through the wonderful world -- quarterback. For routers being recruited the bills. Wolf we'll take a look at. Real quickly. And I don't know we jumped up the page any local Syracuse UB. Making its appeal -- anybody. And obviously we talked about -- in the -- the president for Syracuse. But we look anywhere in this type you know remote area that guy might be playing the NFL they could be who can get -- than that. Well you know Casey is actually -- organize this -- -- -- the cup by which it's. Which is the breaker great for that program but you know I -- I haven't really watched too much more of Syracuse guys would be the only guy I've seen particular build so. Other match. You know local ties I really I mean Marcus rivers WB has got CP kit that -- -- that shot it. But I give it a try out somewhere but. And. A lot of those guys -- invites you absolutely can invite some united. They hope they stick you know after awhile it's that that's -- went out. -- can get one this year fortunately they had -- stop last year and that being the third round pick but they can get an invite this here. Speaking of invites real quick and speak have you be the playing Ohio State at the horseshoe in two years the number which is not QBs gonna get. A million dollars for that games that's a nice little -- for their program. Check our wholesale and you know I think you a big college football talks -- the -- web -- you -- put it best. UB except one billion dollars to be a -- -- official Abdullah so I think that sums it up well. All right Joseph as always thanks Lockett back that -- a breakdown the corners or some with a quarter our conversation next week about that moment. Yeah I know brown that is guilty scaly tech about it WGR 550 dot com. He's got a lot of great stuff bodies broken on the wide receivers all the linemen separately he's got the answer alignment and then -- -- to tackles. He's got all the deep -- deployment separately the ends. In -- defensive tackles in a breakdown of the guys for 334 guys bars and is concerned he just linebackers -- think 3443 that we just talked about. Check it out he's got Luke quickly from Boston College number one on his board Vontae is perfect number two. From Arizona State to go check that out WGR 550 dot cap. Coming up. If you didn't listen to me last week why the heck not a couple of teams that were gonna blight and -- point five college basketball teams over the weekend. And boy did they -- -- the pretty gets a couple more common for it this way. Numbers 12 and three all played today. -- when she got upset alert uptight about that -- college basketball talk a lot more about the sabres the bills whenever you want 8030550. Aided it by 52 by fifty times a pot you WGR. I could just listen RJ calls all day -- doesn't it never gets old. There it'll no offense to. And -- -- fills in for -- on the broadcast that is just not the same not listening to regenerate and you know years from now hopefully years from now when he's no longer doing the sabres broadcast it it just won't be the same it's not the same he's not doing it now. A loved one -- -- Beagle like last night. The Derek -- goal and then -- -- -- top shelf mama hides the cookies of course when his trademark signature calls -- awesome and tonight hope we'll hear some more of that. From regenerate sabres lightning just after seven here at WGR puck drops at just under seven but the pregame show. Is that six he earned a BG -- not gonna take it till 2 o'clock. The we have ESPN radio for two to six -- deal again we'll have the pregame show pat now Carl. And that only be until 7 o'clock and then of course the puck drops so keep it tuned right here tomorrow. A WG tomorrow given NBA basketball game Chicago. Is Boston. The bulls and the -- 230. Tomorrow here on WGR you know it's interesting the NBA season. I've never been a really big NBA fans and I'm a big college basketball fan those of you listen to the show. Before know that. Went to Syracuse talking not be when he go to school like that but I'm like a college hoops junkie -- and I love watching college hoops again into it. It's a lot about human history college hoops players things like that teams really did a really enjoy watching -- to watch college basketball all they just like Dakota. NFL games. And that being said usually you usually find that people are either college band or an NBA -- -- that really allowable. Or even capable. I don't and it was a big NBA all the lakers they're kind of my team because when I was growing up near buffalo. And the -- very left town. -- two teams are Arab on every week really the lakers or Celtics sometimes 76ers. And they are on CBS in the playoffs like kind of like lakers and magic and showtime things like that so I do follow them. I do enjoy -- -- hardcore anything like that that's kind of like the team that while. But this weekend tomorrow. I'll be in Detroit for the rest we can for a couple of days and visiting my brother is there -- business. And as I told you earlier head out to The Palace of Auburn Hills app away from downtown Detroit and. I take in the wizards tried to Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons for no other reason that it's an NBA game the tickets were cheap and I wanna go experience. So I threw out early earlier if any of you have ever actually done this we've gone to games. We have no rooting interest. And it isn't a city totally different and where you live where you're probably not -- somewhere else in the city where you're living may be currently at the time. Just you go to another city on vacation whenever you go to a game in which your experience been like I've done this several times. A couple of text -- about this critical. Here's one from 716 in the 903. Says every year my two friends and I to baseball parking -- game with no ring interest. Except that -- know what's old Yankee Stadium that's great I love that. I'd love to do that go to Deborah -- I've been I've been to Fenway is very yankees game I've been at Fenway than the old Yankee Stadium. In fact the game I went to one of the game that with the Yankee Stadium more than a one right one. I have a buddy who works for the New York Mets. We were having a one of our college roommate is getting married during the subway series Matt will appreciate the story. So my body works for the -- -- south. I can go to any any of these games I worked for the Mets you've never been to Yankee Stadium -- -- the World Series would you like tickets for tonight's game what do you say no of course right so we go there. I was at the game Matt. -- Mike Piazza. Where -- Roger Clemens threw the bat at Mike yachts. That was terrific in Hillary's setting I was in the upper deck in right field. But like it's -- absolutely I was at a yankees red texting on patriots day solve the Boston Marathon run by went to the Yankees game later. I've also -- to. Went to AF about this one -- two AFC title game in Jacksonville. When it played Tennessee Titans Tennessee upset them when -- a loses so Hillary I was at that game. In general one of my buddy -- -- let's go to Jacksonville go to gaming a ticket OK it was cool to go to that game was really cool because Jackson is still kind of -- Italy. So was the experts but here's the best one in your eleven to baseball sort. -- my brother had actually got his master's degrees San Diego State University so I got to see Diego one year to -- three around his graduation to. So we thought San -- apparently. The Padres are in town. OC drinking with a playlist this that ultimately the Atlanta Braves. So -- the public braves during their heyday during their run in the nineties take on the senior ponders. While that this game IC Kenny Lofton hit an inside the park home run and this is the best part. Tony Gwynn goes four for four off Greg Maddux. Was just an awesome tree I hadn't won the game it was just great baseball. Well that's I would go to pretty much any major pro sport. Event anywhere you never know what's gonna happen. Yeah that's right -- while hall of famers are going to be seen even if it's. You know that's violent go to the minor league games. -- in the Red Wings that sort of stuff. You never know which one of those guys gonna turn out to -- -- -- stuff is great onetime. When I was younger a lot of you might remember this the Rochester Americans actually work. There in the playoffs but there are Rita was booked for the circus. The sabres miss the playoffs that year. It was the year that ray Sheppard was about to come up the NHL has just done. The precipice of being moved up the NHL so he was in Rochester so they move the Rochester Americans playoff game to the old -- memorial auditorium. My buddies now like are we gonna see this -- Shepard play Rochester Americans in the playoffs the -- stake in the last let's go down so well out of the yacht where there. Before the game I'm not getting huge bench clearing brawl between bowl teams while there on the ice about ten guys got kicked out of the game. We still saw a great game to really short bench is ray Sheppard -- that game I think at least that's where member. Rochester won -- overtime. -- -- yeah absolutely all those things that's what makes up us as its DNA as sports -- of the experience. It's not just going to bills game at the route that is going to sabres in the first -- center it's going to lose another game I love what might really. One of the things that really love doing. Going to college basketball games and smaller jams -- -- get a chance to do that. That's prequel even even girls -- high school high school games where these kids really -- laid it on the line. -- good high school programs -- Rochester your next and WGR what's up John. They sell the dollar did talk about the the sabres and in the week we talked about it. Few weeks ago I I believe that it felt like you you're you're the same -- labeling I believe this team. It's seen. In the last decade or two they dutiful. They legal they coordinate the swamp bit seasonal essar this season nickel -- tactic catching up. Well they certainly did it last year. The they make the playoffs like me -- I haven't checked the the exact years but and I think you -- go look at the last fifteen years. That's kinda the rubble of his upper hand them back. Peace in the capital. I'm late I'm reading the WGR. WGR sabres the hash tag on Twitter given joined us and on this yet. Put hash tag which is the number sign followed by WGR sabres tell me. What your prediction is where the sabres will finish I've had three votes for seventh place I got one likes dogs as thirteenth place complex we can either play a little better and that. But I got three votes for seven what do you say John what are they wind up at the end of this thing. I think -- -- -- well let's -- I don't work there. RI RO six ways John you you you better you than a sports in this reluctantly gone to another city and watched arena sporting event. Yeah I -- where. San Diego. Which of -- what was. India that other -- charges -- of Philadelphia Eagles please. -- -- land in NC vehicle was fidelity and -- followers well. The whole -- gap that's -- great air -- that's I they're not like Opel and they're out. Totally different listen. I'll tell you I would that Padres game they showed up in the third they left in the sixth there won't -- you -- that was. I don't compare the possible they hit -- -- -- court -- that is crazy. No way want to thank the built and built play LA when the bills up it. Jolt for which the user readers -- -- And this. There's I would go what the built look at the bills were big underdog -- that I was going crazy week -- like. Seventeen not the lead against the first I think they're the first place the time to ramp. And this big guy behind me. -- -- -- Having candlelight shoulder shot lead -- might feel they turned around and anger at what that the guy was six point six. The -- about 240. He says when he earned Elliot who is really -- and do. They -- actually John I -- I -- and I -- we know. Listen I'll be and its right I'll be go to a random basketball game tomorrow night so I will be really fun thanks allotment aren't best John Rochester but Kaiser. Right up on this a little bit so call us 803055888552. By fifty. He's somebody experiences you that it random places around the country. What this coming -- attacks -- 555 that these attacks like this comes to us from the seven once exports real exchange. Says I went to Chicago stadium last year before they moved across the street -- the Blackhawks Canadians. Friday in the and the bulls pacers on Saturday in the Blackhawks red wings on Sunday. While it is a great trip he said noticed implement any city -- you get a lot from the Chicago -- we heard that many times before of course here's one of the amateur that story just told you about the the brawl before the Rochester emerged with -- playoff game down the lottery Shepard was part of that Rick Amber's went overtime it's on the Ed W remember when I was a kid. 716982. -- I was there for that -- you recruit started -- Now I don't -- sure that's what he says -- I'll take your report. More on this when we come back out to more your text your -- your phone calls it a 3055888. By fifty to 550. We talk a little Lindsay and -- when we come back -- you know what insanity is you're out to be swept over bylines in the very soon. We're to talk about that again I'll give you my college hoops top 25. Upsets up the day someone's you might wanna take a look at who she got upset alert we at 123. All in action today that Martin met cal was sports -- WGR. That was Thomas -- he of course redirected to Jason how many bill passed from the point on the power. Way to get the sabres on the board last night 507 into the third period sabres want to tie the game later on Derek Roy's goal which just a few seconds left to go to overtime. They go to a shoot out sabres wind up winning it. Tonight they take -- the team be -- trying to climb up in that playoff spot I thought last night's game. Very big in many regards for this team not just getting the two point short that's really important that's the most important. But to win the game the way they did it in panic he stayed with what they believed it. And it really didn't play as well hat. The last five games of last I didn't play as well at last night games and -- Paul Hilton. He wasn't to throw the effort we're gonna talk with him in just about ten minutes at the top of the hour we'll talk to him about that. But you know what he did just -- they got the win in the end by sticking with what they were doing and being patient and I think a lot of us including myself thought that this team need to do different something different earlier in the year when they were struggling. But -- when things are going well you have a little confidence you can afford to do that be more patient take your spots. And the hackable bounces and breaks a little bit late -- got nice faceoff win it of course they got -- -- tied up to tonight. The playoff push continues here and a BG Argus -- bay lightning pregame at six puck drops just after seven nick -- -- and BGR they were all neck. I don't say that. I I like -- think to myself -- Our shared general manager currency. Watching the sabres since their inception. And I think there's -- -- out there. I don't know what will it can't shoot the pull the trigger but. I really believe that my partner true hockey players eight finger being and and and they're more I don't -- you get the I eat at the players. All I'm saying PW. Walker the guilty it -- -- -- a -- heat -- I think you could swing a deal right now. Willow Allan Ray Allen asked -- Do you mean because of their their sizable smaller I don't read. Their site at their terrible what are we great players I think what the site link -- -- gotten bigger I don't beat you can't. To Betsy stature and anti. I want I didn't want elliptical and I think you can check it you'd be all like for -- right now even. The object of intent to get rid of right -- -- at higher -- -- eat out a player like -- on the option out there right now. Would appreciate lying -- out of -- I'm. K -- -- the actors. That would look pretty all. -- and not the -- -- equal or beat or really solid. -- actually the year challenge that you need to make the -- We -- -- One well -- -- what was house -- but we -- -- It would secure your view it as bad -- it will people. You really believe it -- Absolutely need to. Thanks a lot and there's a lot there -- get to that Rick Nash the savior of the Buffalo Sabres a lot. First of all we are tucked in the very first sentence he said I likely armchair GM OK you and like 99% of our listening audience. In us in here like to play armchair GM for a moment you're not alone a second of all what you're talking I don't mean. It's easier said than done when you're playing the C hockey in -- moving parts of putting these things together and Rachel well how many I game I suggest trying it. Why but my question is why can't Derek -- meet finger I don't -- team. Now because they're too small -- Maarten Saint Louis got Vinny Lecavalier and the same -- aren't they able while small. The puzzle bigger battle right right not a mosque in Raleigh I think he's not far right -- either right. Patrick Kane did not only that there. Keep remembering Saint Louis and have no problem with that -- -- the -- I wouldn't care I don't think I don't disagree with the basic premise that Rick Nash -- -- -- Rick -- Is on the table. And that's kind of been up in the -- like. We know as far as Columbus goes Jeff Carter's out there because of that graphic contract. Rick Nash has been their franchise player now I don't know if they're gonna move him atlas Vegas at one heck the deal back. Is Columbus is they get to a future and Rick Nash is not an old players Mike Evans Jeff Carter's is always the name thrown out with him and I just don't understand. -- have the highest payroll in the league basically he's got this contract he saddled with. He's had some injuries is history obviously recently I just don't think that that's it for this team any locker room issues. Springsteen mean it's not there's no way the key contractors to -- perhaps a little. There I think it's got a laugh in your right so I always that legal and the way. Saying he's untouchable. On a tray -- finger B of the guys on the list when you run down who you want a trade that guy. Don't care he's likely to. We're six foot seven he gives you an honest shift every time he's on the ice basically they can score goals when he's in the right situations. Yet you know but he hasn't scored goals this season so would be the -- treatment showed last year that he can't put the puck in the net. Cell. I think at this point you keep them because its -- Drew Stafford type situation with derby is much that whites and he has performed. But you don't treat it when your when your value sold well just get nothing back. So I think fans to be very disappointed seeker ego. Everyone is calling out Stafford like he has some monsters trade value you can get Rick Nash right he just exciting right now I agree I mean. What this whole idea that what you get rid of royal it is great player retreat that's pretty discreet returns to help. All put yourself in the other GM GG GM here you wanna play armchair GM how about putting yourself in the other GM shoes. And saying wait what I accept jury Stafford for my. By a number I sent out -- might be out there. Ads served for orders that all now I don't think I don't think so I mean I know whatever to get there it's usually. Well you could package this in Pakistan but Stafford usually Stanford Roy like the main. Guys that are -- puts together on that fancy team it's not like he. It's not like NHL twelfth where the ratings don't change right you know if Drew Stafford and 8500. On NHL twelve he's gonna stay that way but. It's ever fluctuating when it comes actual trade and my body is I mentioned as you want the airport's effort. You know he's shooting percentage for its -- this is a bit of a Saber -- thing play a little money -- with the year. He's shooting percentage last year is absurdly high compared to -- while his first career is well where was around 1110%. Last year it's up at 17%. Score more goals this year it's down at 6%. Well you had to figure that it was gonna calm down from 17%. Because that sell high. It's like a baseball player hits 360 years something you figure he's -- 360. For a long period time right he's he's a 280 -- 360 but he's also knocked in his 220 forever. Right so you figure you figured that Drew Stafford just statistically. Will come back at some point and it is still want to trade him then. That's when that's when you want the when he comes back because. Is news. Doesn't end up in the permanent doghouse these ships and a lot of shops last night and it's a good example -- a great example. Took a lot of shots. Most of the time nationals were going -- and issue they're not. Which brings us to the same -- the conversation will go to another sport one Jeremy -- New York Knicks -- insanity. I mean. Their main arguments they treat this -- exactly keep this up. But I like this -- what he's doing if you haven't seen he's like all the rage now in the sports world especially throughout the NBA the kids start of the last three games. Because Carmelo -- been out Amare Stoudemire. His brother -- -- a car accident so thoughts about him he's been out this kid comes in and he's been terrific. He's been terrific. 38 points last night against the lakers are good defensive team 232825. Respectively the three games before that. The kid being compared to Tim Tebow all the ways bursting on the scene he's overtaking everything he's -- like he is not we should be compared Tim Tebow because. This kid came out of nowhere nobody heard of Jeremy -- and you are hardcore. Ivy League basketball. Fan okay. You probably didn't hear Jeremy -- until this past week Tim Tebow you've heard of him since he was a senior or a junior at east high school -- Saint Augustine, Florida and -- was -- one pick. In -- -- first round pick in the NFL we stop these comparisons they're not the same. Right it's Patrick will be more of a comparison Jeremy what he did the first seven weeks this year for the Buffalo Bills coming out of Harvard. And bursting at CB and he had. A book of work. In the NFL before of that this kid when he's doing and by the way. He's got to keep this up but he's a star earnestly I want to play. He has skill he's a good -- -- Yeah you know I've I've gotten a chance to watch just here and there bits and pieces. I gotta say in crossing over John Wall I'm pretty darn impressive. But he got there it don't mean actually stronger I think that it that it looks like maybe even on TV here it is is basketball are the -- he has like 63200. Looks pretty ripped. The compare since it's -- dollar charges kinda silly -- for the reasons you mentioned but also the personality of the guy like. Jeremy -- I think what's attractive about his personality. Is the exact opposite thing from what's attractive about Tim Tebow people like Tim Tebow because cell. Over enthusiastic and so positive in -- can't get back guy down you can tell us house burned out he'd say well you know at least I was and it. You know instead of being mad about. You know all right but but Jeremy in his more you know introverted he's not. He's not a gregarious type of guys it's in your face I mean I think he's more probably surprised wildest and in the -- three of these four games of occurred at the Mecca. -- square garden really helps his case obviously out. For this this puppy kitten so I think he can't help but like a guy who you know when he's out on the court -- for roaches but then off he seems so. You know quiet humble all that -- Very likeable fun story to watch I don't know that it's going to be a flash in the pan I think it would baseball Sam -- got really hot and everybody knew he was gonna fall off -- that's the case here you know. I made a prediction earlier about the sabres I think they'll make the playoffs I that's my prediction today but -- another one here I think Jeremy -- will be a solid player in this league. Well Tim Tebow is not in a couple years Tim Tebow will fall off his spot before Jeremy -- we'll German and we'll still continue to play. We won't hear much about Tebow okay -- with a guy -- the sport's top the hour but. Last week I gave -- a couple upsets in college basketball that happened I said Wyoming was a pretty good team the cowboys beat UNLV a total that could possibly happen. I told I was state might nit -- this insured up. They did today I'm looking at a few games number one Kentucky tonight is at Vanderbilt. They're gonna give my game I can beat Kentucky that would definitely watched -- about tonight going to be a tough game. -- -- Kentucky playing very good basketball but I like Vanderbilt tonight at home tough place to play -- and that type of environment Vanderbilt at home against Kentucky number one in the country. Syracuse at home right now they're about to tip off against UConn. If they lose to -- that we huge upset. I don't expect Syracuse lose you come to play horrible basketball right now UConn is at Syracuse obviously off that win against Georgetown in play well. But their -- there a terrific basketball team. But it look at a couple of possible upsets day. In the top 25 that -- where they could occur. Number one. The sick after a huge win -- against Maryland. Maryland and would do today wrote fourteen and out of the year I know the go to Cameron. But duke still talking about that win against North Carolina the other night that last second shot by Austin rivers. Maybe a little too caught up in that not preparing. For the Maryland Terrapins coming to their house. And here's one from small little bit mid major type of set. The Wichita State shoppers. -- o'clock tonight. It Omaha take -- great number seventy in the country. Watch for Wichita State while Michigan State today there at Ohio State number three in the country. Always a good game. Michigan State could -- Ohio State's major sellinger not really have the -- -- -- I expected him to have their good team at Michigan State always tough in these types of situations when he gets a Mac talent sports. Paul Hamilton on the other side of the break you listen to sports talk Saturday and WGR.
