Chapter 1: What are the highlights from the latest sports news?

0.031 - 16.788 Unknown

Yopods, make sure to check out Meet Mitch in Leawood for their happy hour options. $4 Tallboys and $5 House Margaritas will have you feeling right for your next outing. Weekdays from 2 to 6. Meet Mitch east of 95th in the Ranch Mart North Shopping Center. Angels can't be minus 180.

0

17.89 - 44.781 Todd Lebo

So that's a typo. I'm going to say if the Royals are minus 108, probably minus 118 would be my guess on the Angels. Maybe a slight favorite. Both 108. Both 108. Okay. That's what it was. Keystroke error. Let's do that. There we go. Noah Cameron versus Yusei Kikuchi. I say Gesundheit. Let's call the whole thing off. So, yeah, you got that going for you.

0

45.401 - 51.229 Clark Hunt

I'm sure Royals fans not over the moon over tonight's starting lineup.

0

51.37 - 52.131 Todd Lebo

No, it's out.

0

52.151 - 52.551 Clark Hunt

It is what it is.

52.711 - 62.725 Todd Lebo

The lineup is out, and Michael Garcia is out of that lineup today after feeling a cramp in his throwing elbow in Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Matt Quintero gave us the latest.

63.008 - 72.463 Brett Veach

Yeah, he's improved from Wednesday. It's just, you know, he's got a little discomfort in his elbow and a little bit of inflammation that we need to get out of there so that he can feel comfortable getting back out on the field.

72.483 - 75.047 SPEAKER_00

Do you expect him to be available off the bench?

75.688 - 76.149 Clark Hunt

I do, yeah.

Chapter 2: What is the latest update on the Royals' lineup?

157.043 - 164.058 Todd Lebo

Yep. Last night, if you didn't stay up late, you maybe didn't hear Brett Beach. Let's bring you up to speed with what he had to say. We'll start with his decision to trade up.

0

164.559 - 185.968 Brett Veach

We had identified Mansour Delaney early on as the guy we wanted, and it just looked like the predictive model said that the Saints are going to be the biggest obstacle. And so when you go through, I've been doing this for a few years now, and you start the process off where Cleveland made it obvious early on that they were going to be interested in trading. So we had some traction with Cleveland.

0

186.55 - 202.119 Brett Veach

And then as the days went on, it was clear the Redskins weren't going to do anything. I know Mickey. If there's one guy that's more aggressive than me, it's Mickey. And he, you know, I've had that experience where we're kind of eyeing the same guy. And when you try to call them when they're on the pick, it just, it doesn't work out.

0

202.199 - 216.523 Brett Veach

So when you looked at, you know, their roster, two years ago, they lost Paulson Adebo to the Giants. And then just this past offspring, they lost Alante Taylor. I mean, so they were down two corners. You know, we lost our number one and number two corners. And so...

0

216.503 - 225.453 Brett Veach

You know, we just decided, and we had Mansour Dolan as a top five guy on our board, and we just made a decision that if we got in striking distance, let's just go up there and not leave it to chance.

228.056 - 247.086 Todd Lebo

Yep. So they thought that was the team they had to worry about. But what did you think of the part where he said, you know, Washington, they weren't going to do anything? Did you hear disgust? Am I the only one that kind of heard that, or irritation? They're not going to do anything. You know? That's how I kind of took it.

247.106 - 253.074 Clark Hunt

I might be totally wrong. I didn't notice that at first, but when you mentioned that, I was like, eh, it does kind of sound like that.

253.254 - 254.375 Todd Lebo

They're not going to do anything.

254.916 - 256.138 Clark Hunt

Those are losers.

Chapter 3: What did Brett Veach say about the Chiefs' draft strategy?

540.437 - 546.328 Todd Lebo

He's going into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. Said his resiliency was the key to his success here in KC.

0

546.308 - 565.766 Derek Johnson

A lot of people look at my career in the NFL, 13 years, and say, man, all-time leading tackler, four Pro Bowls, a couple All-Pro seasons, you got some records, you got this and that. What was that turning point? My turning point was going through adversity. If you can fight through something that doesn't favor you, it has great benefits.

0

566.688 - 591.486 Derek Johnson

You know, life is 10% of what happens to you, 90% on how you respond. So being able to respond the right way during that 2009 season was a big deal. And every year after that, it's not a coincidence that I had some kind of Pro Bowl status after that 2009 season. So it's okay when you go through adversity. You know, that's not to hurt you or to make you fail.

0

591.706 - 603.962 Derek Johnson

It's actually to get you better, if you can fight through it. So that's what football is all about, getting knocked down and standing back up. And I'm a real testament to that now, being in the Chiefs Hall of Fame. So it's pretty cool.

0

604.423 - 625.044 Clark Hunt

Aren't many players in Chiefs history, if they didn't wear numbers, you could tell who it was by the way they were playing. And three or four times every game, Derek Johnson would blow through somebody and wreck a running back for about a three-yard loss. And you wouldn't – you'd just see a flash of white or a flash of red. You wouldn't even need to see that. You just knew that's who it was.

625.245 - 638.381 Todd Lebo

There's DJ. He was great at shooting the gap and getting in there. Incredibly explosive. Just fantastic. If he'd had better hands, he'd have had 20 picks probably. Do you – that is true. He could not catch. 20-pick sixes.

638.481 - 641.164 Clark Hunt

He finally got two in one game. People were like, unreal.

641.204 - 656.881 Todd Lebo

Yeah. But a great player and great guy in the locker room, too. Absolutely. Stand-up guy, always there, always answers the questions. Very happy to see Derek Johnson going into that ring of honor. Are you excited to watch day two of the draft? I am. You know, all the picks.

656.901 - 657.101 SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

Chapter 4: How did the Chiefs prepare for the NFL draft?

827.225 - 850.478 Todd Lebo

Mention 810, save even more. That's how it works. Patio furniture, hot tubs, spas, pools. I've got a big sale going on right now. I mentioned 810. Save even more at Family Leisure.

0

850.838 - 868.404 Todd Lebo

Choose what you want. The best in spas are at Family Leisure. K10 and Ridgeview online at FamilyLeisure.com. Todd, welcome. Thank you. Thank you. I was not peppering anybody last night. I was good boy. I didn't shock jock anything. No? Nothing? I didn't get stared at by Andy Reid. Who did? Didn't get the Reid side-eye?

0

868.764 - 886.931 Todd Lebo

No, Darren did when he tried to follow up about Dave Merritt when Andy said, I'm not telling you nothing about Dave Merritt. I'm not asking anything about Dave Merritt then because it ain't happening. Question asked, question answered before a question can even be asked is what... What happened there? Okay. I did good. How about that? I'm proud of you.

0

887.152 - 888.013 Clark Hunt

I'm proud of you, Todd.

0

888.033 - 902.999 Todd Lebo

He scrotes up and he scrotes up and he scrotes up. You managed to make it out alive. Yeah, for sure. Tornado warning. Tornado warning. We went into Andy's office. Is that where everybody hung up? It was interesting because the sirens were going, and everyone's kind of doing their thing.

903.079 - 922.244 Todd Lebo

The first traffic had already happened, so a lot of the TV people, they're trying to cut stories and do all their stuff, right? And I hear a very perceptive hearing, you know, and I hear a siren, and I open the door, that glass door, and it's coming down, and the siren's going. And I'm like, well, the siren's going. I don't think they're going to come get us.

922.325 - 935.682 Todd Lebo

I don't, you know, because I'm like, I don't know if they care about us, right? But then I think maybe they thought... Well, liability, liability. So they took us into that that that hallway. So we went past the PR office, just the big middle hallway there.

936.303 - 952.846 Todd Lebo

And then so we then we you heard on the air last night, we asked Andy and Brett and apparently the draft room is in the interior part of the second floor. So they didn't have to leave. But Brett had gone down to his office. They came back and told him to get down here because his office is the other end. And I come down here. This is the room you have to be in. He's all right.

952.886 - 973.819 Todd Lebo

I'll come back down here. So it was a wild night. That was the first tornado warning for any of those folks during the draft. And luckily it wasn't about 15 minutes later because they'd have been on the clock because it was getting close because the thing was moving. I liked the eight minutes. Oh, God, I hate it. I loved it. Hate it. You want more. Well, it's turning into the NBA draft.

Chapter 5: What insights does Todd Leabo share about the draft process?

2304.397 - 2318.727 Todd Lebo

I mean, we know that. He's not a selfish guy on that front. I mean, he has always been around all the guys. You become one of his guys, you could be gone and he could be gone. He'll still want you to back. I mean, he's always tweeting, where's Frank Clark? Or it's Mike Pinnell, whatever. But I like the kid.

0

2319.428 - 2337.003 Todd Lebo

I hope he comes in here and is an impact player for this team because they need help there. But like we said, they need help in a lot of places. They have not drafted an offensive player yet. And people think they still need some offensive line help. They need help with wide receiver and all that stuff. But they lost a lot of defensive players in the offseason.

0

2337.023 - 2359.5 Todd Lebo

If they win, everybody will buy in and be happy. That's going to be the ultimate measuring stick. But right now, do you think the fan base likes day one? Uh... Not A-plus, probably. I think a lot of people wanted to see an edge, you know, because they really haven't affected the quarterback. I got a text from some people last night. It's like, I hope this guy can cover for 10 seconds. Yeah.

0

2359.94 - 2374.319 Todd Lebo

I will. Sam McDowell said on our Red Golden Bowl podcast that by moving what they move, by moving that 74, that they've really taken away options. Right? Do we feel like 40 has to be an edge now?

0

2374.339 - 2375.701 SPEAKER_00

Yeah, probably. Yeah.

2375.722 - 2381.27 Todd Lebo

And that's not a spot you want to be in. Which means that the other. There are eight picks before them, right?

2381.79 - 2381.911 SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

2381.931 - 2383.172 Todd Lebo

Today? Yeah.

2383.192 - 2394.449 Clark Hunt

But that means that people went into this yesterday thinking wide out edge. very high, one of those two positions is not going to be addressed until at least the fourth round. That's right.
