Mr. Wells returns as he is becoming a podcast sensation. Thomas Andrew "The Skull" Hartmann requests him as his co-host every episode. Mr. Wells did our podcast with Maria Conlon, Moneyline, then finishing a long week with Skull and Cully.
We start HOT this week talking about the protests going around college campuses over Israel, Hamas, Palestine and students are taking things to a different level. At Columbia, taking over a building, demanding food, water, being disappointed pizza was not possible option having to settle for sandwiches instead.
Andrew believes enough in enough and some of these blue haired liberals who would never join the military, never been in a fight in their lives, are taking action just to take action. Mexico's showdown with Ecuador over an actual raid on an Embassy, where is the uproar from students here.
Andrew can't imagine sitting at a bar in his early 20's, seeing a situation on the news, then standing on the bar to rally all the kids to protest. He thinks it's completely bonkers. Andrew said if some of these kids were smacked around, they would know their role. But since the (Military) draft is no more, kids will never have to worry about being picked to fight in a war and are choosing to be Social Justice Warriors.
Mr. Wells believes students will be students and the administration's hands are tied. If they come in with law enforcement like Columbia University did, then they appear too violent to kids who are peacefully protesting. The problem is not much has been peaceful when janitors are being held hostage when they are trying to do their job. Mr. Wells believes school administrations should provide students with certain areas to protest because young adults are always looking for a cause to fight for.
After our political debacle, we discuss the NFL Draft and the high number of Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers picked in the first round. Andrew believes Caleb Williams is overrated and will be a complete bust.
Mr. Wells was high on Drake Maye all year but going to the Patriots with a first-year head coach and not many weapons, he could be the one to falter. The draft is set up for a reason, the worst teams pick first, so the best players are not going into the best situations. Panthers QB Bryce Young, had he gone to the Texans or Buccaneers, he may be revered. Ending up in Carolina destroyed him
Andrew is going with JJ McCarthy with the Vikings as the guy who will emerge and show people, he is a winner at every level. Despite his size and lack of arm strength, he is the guy we will talk about in 5 years as being an elite QB.
Mr. Wells is going with Caleb Williams because the Bears have some weapons. With a sprinkle of Michael Penix Jr. Sitting behind Kirk Cousins will help him learn, and Cousins is injury prone which could force him into action early.
We also talk the devalue of the RB position, not getting a first-round selection, linebackers falling off and the top draft picks on defense were all pass rushers. Pure entertainment, comedy and Skull demands an audience!
