The moment you look at the whole picture of the case, Colach.

What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe?

I think she might be innocent. Listen to doubt the case of Lucy Letbe on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.

Late one night Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Hillary Duff, singer, actress and multi-plattener artists. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

You know the Raiders signing their center Tyler Lenderbomb for $27 million per year.

That's nine million more than the second highest paid center who is Creed Humphrey with Kansas City.

I love the signing.

You get an elite center and I'm going to have him in front of Fernando Mendoza helping to block for

see as well. I think it's a very smart decision. I'd load up on offensive line and early and often if I'm the Raiders. The chiefs got Kenneth Walker Jr. the third. It's a $3.45 million deal.

Keep in mind he's played more than 12 regular season games twice in his four years. He of course is the Super Bowl MVP. Mike Evans going to the Niners. They're probably going to release Brandon Iyuk. You got to compete with L.A. in Seattle.

And it says $3.60 million. I'd be surprised that age 33. If he's able to go for three years. Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I told you that's where I thought he was going to go.

Three years at 67 million.

The surprising part of this is, and I thought he would go there.

But then I also said if I'm the Dolphins,

I would just stay with Quinn Ures. And then just kind of get through this season. Malik Willis, he's not coming into, I don't like using the word tank, but underperform.

He wants to come in to prove that he is a starting quarterback in this league. But the Dolphins aren't ready to win now. And that's what was surprising. Now it's not a lot of money for a starting quarterback. You know, $22.5 million.

I think it's great. The Dolphins head coach, Jeff Halfley. He was the Packers DC last year. So he saw Willis every day in practice. And they bring him in.

But I was wondering about the Kenneth Walker signing. Because the chiefs at nine, I thought maybe Jeremiah Love, if the chiefs were lucky, he would fall there.

The Saints have Travis 810. They signed him. The Cardinals aren't going to go. I don't think for Jordan Love at number three. So maybe the Titans at four.

Giants at five are the commanders at seven. So these are the things when you look at the free agent signings. What did they mean at other positions? Or players who were going to be drafted. And the Panthers did make the playoffs last year at eight nine.

But they went out and improved their defense. Jalen Phillips. It's a lot of money for for 120 and Devon Lloyd.

He was a second team all pro in 2025.

So those are just some of the moves that happen. And how they're going to impact teams with drafting. How they're going to impact other free agents there. But Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs. That's that's good money that they paid.

And Albert Breer the money morning quarterback will join us next hour.

We'll talk about college basketball.

Those who punch their tickets last night. The drama that is magic city with the NBA. Have that for you as well.

See what's the poll question for the first hour of this program?

First hour poll question is from Paul.

Who dot dot dot? Had the best day yesterday? Hmm. Malik Willis to a Fernando Mendoza. Maybe Mike Evans even.

There's a lot of people that changed destinations that may be upgraded. We can populate this poll question if you'd like. Who? I'm not surprised. Had the best day yesterday.

I'm not surprised to have ended up in Atlanta. I thought if you're going to build your offense around a left-handed quarterback. Bringing two of it in, he doesn't cost anything. I don't think either of these quarterbacks is the future, a solution. But it doesn't cost anything.

If I can bring two of it in, I don't know if Michael Panics Jr. the third is going to be ready to start the season coming off in injury. And you bring in to a. Maybe. I mean, you got weapons there. And, you know, he doesn't have the strongest of arms.

But he can move it around a little bit there. You got a great running back. Bringing pits back. So maybe got a offensive minded head coach. But I'm okay with this.

Yeah, Paul. You can make the case that two as career is in better shape now than it was a week ago. He gets all his money. He's on a better roster, a better defense, a winnable division, much more winnable division. Compared to what he was in.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think there was any real down. So I'd just like the Vikings bringing in Kyler Murray.

I think that's where he's gone. I said that from the beginning.

That would be the place. And I think with Kevin O'Connell with some offensive weapons there. He's indoors on turf. I like that as well. But tray Hendrix and his kind of in no man's land.

You know, he missed out on that big contract. He got the one year franchise contract. Or, uh, offer from the Bengals. And now he's out looking for work. And in his age, he's not going to get that big contract.

You know, it might get front loaded, maybe get some decent guaranteed money. But, uh, he missed out on his window. Yeah. It does seem like with this, like salary cap bump that happened this year. Players are getting paid.

Yeah. Maybe more so than it's, it's a little bit here and there. But, you know, I mean, that McDuffee deal is huge. Even Laramie Tunsel got two years sixty. That's damn good money.

Um. There's a whole bunch of guys.

You know, that, the Alec Pierce money for years 114 million.

That's. Alec Pierce was a kid out of Cincinnati. And I remember watching, uh, one of their games. I'm like, that dude gets behind the defense. And that's what he does.

He gets behind the defense. He's not a guy that's going to have 80 catches. He's going to get 40 and then he'll turn 40 into 10 touchdowns. He averages about 22 yards per reception. But he got $29 million.

Now, I go, wow, that's a lot of money for a guy who's not even your number one option. But 29 million per season. So that's one million less than Amon Ross St. Brown. That's $4 million more than Devontay Smith. That's five million more than Nico Collins.

Wow. For a guy who, well, hopefully he can develop into a 80 catch guy. But he does make you pay with the 40 plus catches. Yes, Paul. Yeah, Alec Pierce last year, only 47 catches a thousand yards.

21 yards a catch the year before 22 yards a catch. That's like old AFL days numbers. Yeah, you don't get too many of those guys that are like he just does one thing. He beats you deep, but they, uh, the Colts Michael Pittman Jr.

The third goes to Pittsburgh.

But Alec Pierce, you're a go-to guy for the Colts staying home. Yes, Tom. If you're the owner of an average team or a below average team that didn't do much. And I know it's been only that first day yesterday.

What is the owner want to say to the general manager or coaching staff?

Is like, what are we doing here? We have a couple more days, but you miss out on the big ticket items. And I go back to Jerry Jones. He was all in, and then he was going to bust the budget I think this year. Like he comes up with slogans.

It's just he doesn't really do anything. I mean, we're Sean Gary, nice player. Uh, you know, he's a kind of a plug and play, you know, kind of, let's stop the run game, I guess. Just like Kenny Clark.

So they got another Kenny Clark from the Green Bay Packers. But I keep waiting for doubt. I mean, the only move in the off season was a deck press got not getting married. And if I'm a cowboy fan, not going to have no. What do you mean, he was engaged, right?

I honestly don't know about this.

They were at the bachelor at then bachelor parties.

And then after that decided they weren't going to get married.

Is he a restricted for agent right now? I think he's unrestricted. Oh. Yeah, sweet.

Lots of people saying he got too close to a ring.

And that's true. We had to back away. Yeah. We got a little too close to a ring. Okay.

Fair enough. Fair enough. Uh, David and Ohio. Hi, David. Yeah.

Seeing just all my thunder there. But yeah, uh, free agency news. That press got, uh, fallen off the wedding.

Uh, for I don't know what happened there.

And, uh, like, seen said, uh, it's not like the cowboys to, uh, you know, choke a month before getting the ring. Well, thank you. All right, David. I know we had a cowboy joke in there somewhere.

All right. 877 3DP show will come up with a poll question watching basketball. I did watch the world baseball classic with Team USA. Paul schemes looked like he was in midseason form there last night. Sometimes there's certain pictures where you go.

It's not fair. Uh, Randy Johnson when he would get on the mound. And I would say, boy, it's not fair. Especially if you're a left-handed batter with schemes that doesn't matter. He was bringing cheese there.

Uh, they was fun to watch. And then I'm watching OKC and the Denver nuggets. And it's back and forth. Joker's playing great SGA's playing great. Game on the line.

And SGA has the ball. And as I yell out loudly to wake up my dog. Next to me. Double him. Double team.

Oh, my God. Step back. Three boom. And I go, oh my goodness. He's the only guy in the building who's going to take the shot.

OKC didn't have their full starting line up. And give credit to SGA. He was great. Great. You look at the numbers here.

35. Um, he scored at least 20 points in a hundred and twenty six consecutive game. So he's tied with Wilk Chamberlain for the longest such streak and NBA history. He also had 15 assists. He also didn't commit a turnover. And over the last five years SGA has made eight go ahead baskets in the final ten seconds of the fourth quarter or over time.

Three more than any other player. [MUSIC] He's added the day brought to my Panini American official trading cards to the damn Patrick show.

And this isn't like you have to have your highsman moment.

But this could be your MVP moment because if you didn't stay up and watch it. But National TV, you'll see it on Sports Center and you're going to see him hit a big shot against their rival. And the guy who was up there for MVP as well in Joker. But SGA, methodical. And I know people can now they're starting to go, well, you know, he kind of gets a lot of calls,

a fouls called and he kind of initiates contact. And you know, we went through this with James Harden. He's a great player. He's a great player. And game on the line.

He's done everything that you want. He plays hard and probably going to be the MVP. Now, I thought he was going to win the MVP even before this. Just because OKC has played well. Although they did tape her off a little bit.

I think we thought they're on a record breaking pace. So he'll be the MVP. Joker to me, still the best player. I think Jalen Brown might be the most valuable player. Just because what he did in a year that we thought was maybe a throw away year for the Celtics.

Kept them in the thick of things and now Tatum is back. And they might be the team to beat in the East. But you're watching and you're going. What is your defensive philosophy? If you're going to play man on man against SGA.

And you're going to leave some poor kid on an island with the best player MVP. And they paid for it. Yes, Marvin. When I saw that play, all I could think about was you and how angry you were. Two people on him.

If Lou Dort hits the shot or one of the Jalen Williams is his to shot. All right. But not him. It cannot be. Every single time the team's best player hits a game winner.

I just see you coming the next day. Marvin.

I can never ever let the best player on the floor beat me.

And yes, they did forcing to take a three. But it was his step back jumper. And I got to take the ball out of his hands. It's as simple as that. Somebody else beats me.

Good. I'm fine with that. I got to take the ball out of his hands.

And there's another defender right there at the top of the key who could have come over.

Making pick up his dribble. Making pass it. And maybe you get somebody who is not ready to take that big shot.

What is the downside to that?

We're going to double SGA.

If he makes a shot when he's double team.

Hey, he earned it. We deserve to lose. But in that moment. I can't let him take that shot. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern 6 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. To go out here.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast.

My latest episode is with Hillary Duff. Singer, actress, and multi-plattener artists. Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics,

motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years.

We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture.

And that's not reality. A lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever.

But it's for right now. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHard Radio app. Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK of looking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now

the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. Lucy Leppi has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the full story?

The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, we followed the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Leppi was. No voicing of any skepticism are doubt.

It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, on the iHard Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.

Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termine Hudson as the perpetrator. Termine was sentenced to 99 years. And like law, this can't be real.

I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster.

Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the iHard Radio app. Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. He is the Monday morning quarterback. Kind enough to join us on a Tuesday morning, Albert Breyer. Who had the best day yesterday, Albert?

Oh, hey, Dan. I love what the chiefs did.

I think, you know, like, if you look at kind of where they were.

I'm going into the day. They need to fill running back. They need to fill nose tackle. They get both those addressed. The reason I really like the Kenneth Walker deal.

I go back a couple of years.

And I remember, you know, when Derek Henry Josh Jacobs and St.

Juan Barclay did deals on the first day of free agency.

And there were a lot of people like I can't believe teams are spending on running backs, all of that stuff. And I remember taking a step back and thinking to myself, well, look at the three teams that did it. It was the Eagles, the Packers, and the Ravens. And those aren't dumb teams.

And so, you know, my thought on it at the time was, is this, if we got into the point now where teams are looking at and saying that position has been devalued to the point where it's become a value, right? And so then I dug into a little deeper, talked to those teams. Just pointed out to me, the Darnel Mooney got signed by the Falcons for about the same,

at about the same rate that Barclay Jacobs and Henry God, which was insane to me.

You know, do you think about the value of those players?

So I think that the, you know, top end veteran running back who makes it to the free agent market has become a value. And so the Chiefs get that in Kenneth Walker. Guy, you can plan all three down, set 133 catches over his four years in Seattle. Something that he really haven't had in a long time in Kansas City.

They get Kyris Tonga to fill their nose tackle role. They get a low e-gillman to play safety forum. I think Tonga and Gilman, two guys that switched teams last year are ascending now. So they get those guys, I think, on the way up.

And I think the other thing it does, Dan, to me, that's really important.

This is going to be a big draft of the Chiefs after the Trent McDuffee trade. And I don't think if you're the Chiefs, you can count on Jeremiah. I love falling to you at nine. So by getting Walker, it really frees them up. The joke just go get the best player with a ninth pick and not have to trade up.

And they have the ninth, 29th and 40th pick. So if they want, they can go in and maybe get a Travis Kelsey's successor in Canyon City. They go and get a receiver, like maybe a Carnell tape falls to them. They can go get a corner, like delaying from LSU. You just look at all the different things that they could do now in the draft.

And getting Kenneth Walker opens a lot of that up for them. So I really like what the Chiefs did all the way around. And I think it sets them up to have a really great draft and have a different looking team around. Patrick Mahomes when he gets back off the ACL. I'm guessing the Chiefs did their due diligence realizing that Jeremiah love is not going to be there.

And they had to, they had to upgrade. So that means Titans, Giants, does Arizona entertain the idea of Jeremiah love that high? So I think for all those teams, the question you got to ask is like, How quickly are we going to get really, really good, right? So the thing about taking a running back that high is that like their rookie deal,

like that's going to be a part of their prime because it's easier to plug guys in at that position. And you can produce almost right away. And so, you know, I think for Arizona, for the Giants, for the Titans, you know what it's going to take is a real sober look at your roster. And say in to yourself, are we, are we in a position to do this rather than, you know,

taking a tackle or a pass russia or someone in a premium position? And I think that's sort of indicative of the overall makeup of the top 10. I, I made this comparison a couple of weeks ago and I think it's a, I think it's an interesting one. Do you remember the lions in 2023?

What they did when they took Jamir Gives and Jack Campbell in the first round, right?

Do you remember how they were criticized for that, Dan?

A running back in an off-ball linebacker? Well, you know, now three years later, Jack Campbell's first team all pro and Gives has made three pro balls, right? And so, and if you look at the guys who went at premium positions around them, I mean, I picked out 12 or 13 guys that were picked right around there. And only Christian Gonzalez and Jackson Smith and Jacob are the same level or better than the two guys, the Lions got.

The reason I'm saying that is because, you know, I think that's going to be a question. A lot of teams are going to have to ask is like, do we take a premium position, a corner, an edge rusher or a tackle? You know, the top's caught 12 picks. Or do we go with an off-ball linebacker and a sunny style or running back in Jeremiah love or a safety and kale of downs? That's sort of the makeup of the top end of the drive because you don't have a, a,

Miles Garrett type of edge rusher. You don't have a Joe Alt type of tackle. You're going to have to compromise some. And so, it does make for an interesting decision.

I think for the teams you mentioned, the important thing is going to be, are ...

And, and maybe pass up on somebody who could fill a hole at a premium spot.

Yeah, commanders might be the landing spot for Jeremiah love. We're talking to Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback. I like that the Raiders spent money. I'd like that they went out and they over spent for a center. But I, I got to have the first line of defense for my quarterback. I got to start with my center who is a high end center.

I like that and then they kind of filled in with maybe players that were not too familiar with. But they will serve a purpose there. The Raiders spent money did they spend it wisely. So, the overspin on Tyler and her bomb. But I, I think it was actually a good overspin. Here's the way I look at it.

Like, I think center is probably a more important position than guard, and especially in that offense.

So, like, trace myth and Tyler's method at the top of the guard market right now, right around 24 million.

So, like, let's say the value for Tyler and her bomb is 23 or 24 million. Would you rather just spend the 3 million extra and get the player than risk losing them to the commanders or the Browns or whoever was in it if you're the Raiders? I, 3 million isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. And if you've got to overpay because you haven't been winning, then go ahead and do it, right? And what you get to me when you look at this is, hey, guys, a great scheme fit.

He's a smaller guy for the position, but that doesn't matter as much in the Kubiak offense. He's athletic, he can pull, so all of that's in place. And then in that, in that offense, they put a lot mentally on the center, right? The center is a huge part of the pre-snap operation when it comes to setting protections and all that stuff. That's takes stuff off the plate of the quarterback. So, that's going to take stuff off the plate of Fernando Mendoza.

So, by investing in Linderbaum, I think you're investing in Mendoza. So that's why I like that move.

I think it's a scheme fit and it helps you with your young quarterback. And then, you know, as far as the other things they did, they took advantage of a depressed market for off-ball line backers and going and getting quite walker in a Kobe Dean.

They're taking a flyer in a former first round taking Quadi Pay.

They're bringing back Eric Stokes, you know, who I think flashed again as a former first round or a corner. You know, I think, you know, when you get past Linderbaum, I think you see a lot of sensible mid-level moves. You know, they're not the top of the market, but I think there are moves that could make them better, you know, in the short term in the long term. So, I like where the rate are spent their money yesterday. Trying to understand the dolphins. I wasn't surprised, Malik Willis went there.

But I was surprised that why not just let this season play out. Why not have Quinn Youis play? You're not winning anything. So you're going to give away one of Malik Willis's, you know, one year out of three years. It's not a lot of money. And I do, I do like him. Yeah, I just why not just ride this out. You know, you're not going to be good. Once again, it's supposed to be a good quarterback draft next year.

Why not be in the mix for somebody who is truly a franchise quarterback? Yeah, I'm with you on all that. Like this is very clearly rebuilding year. Like a tear down to the studs year for them, right? Like no question about it. I think it's a credibility play. It's the way I would look at it. I mean, look, like, I don't think there's any question that they're not going to be great this year.

And, you know, I think, you know, over the course of the next few weeks, the next couple months. I mean, you're going to see the dolphins really put a lot of eggs in the basket of the traps. And that's been the charge of ownership. You know, the week when they were going out and looking for a new GM and looking for a new head coach. A huge part of it was what we need to draft and develop better.

And that's why they go and get a couple of guys from the Packers and John Erick Sullivan and Jeff Hathley.

Because that place has been a player developing machine over the years. And so I'm with you on, like, they need to draft there. They had fewer draft picks than any team in the league over the last four years. A couple of their draft classes out of the last five have been complete way slans. They need to fix that and they're going to try and fix that this offseason. At the same time, I mean, you can't be the Cleveland Indians from minor from major league.

You know what I mean? Like, if you're trying to, if you're trying to build a program. And so I do think, like, bring in and Malik will us from Green Bay, you know, John Erick Sullivan and Jeff Hathley know exactly what they're getting with them. At least gives you some credibility that, you know, for the players who are on hand, we are going to give you a chance on a week to week basis.

And, you know, maybe we don't have Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes here. But we do have a guy that we can game plan within a guy that we can compete with.

So just as far as like getting buy in from the players and and and energizing...

I think Malik will us does that.

And, you know, I view him as sort of a high end bridge to whoever the next guy is.

And maybe it's somebody like an arch manning or a Brendan Soorsby or CJ Carr, or a Trinidad Jam, whichever it is next year. Kyle Murray seems like a foregone conclusion he's going to Minnesota. Does that correct? I think he'd like to go to Minnesota.

Yeah, I think that's a fair, fair guess. But if not Minnesota, then where?

In the inapolis, like I, you know, do you, here's the thing, if you're Kyle Murray,

because you, you're going to play on the minimum next year, right? So money is not an object, the cardinals are basically paying you next year. So the reason Kyle Murray wanted to be cut rather than traded is because he wanted to go and he wanted to be able to pick his next destination for football reasons only, right? So if you're Kyle Murray is your best play to go to the jets,

or is your best play to go to the cults if it's not the Vikings, right? If you go to the cults, you get to play for St. Shane Stike and you get all the starter reps to the spring and summer. Maybe Daniel Jones is ready for the opener. But if he gets hurt again, then you get in and you'll have some familiarity with the players. They've got good offensive players and guys like Pearson Warren and not Pitman anymore,

but Jonathan Taylor, good offensive line.

And so I think those are the things you have to weigh, right? Like if you're Kyle Murray,

Minnesota obviously would be perfect.

And I can tell you this, like Kevin O'Connell has looked at these sorts of reclamation projects over the last couple of months in anticipation of being here. And they had such success resurrecting Sam Donald's career a couple of years ago that they're really interested in doing that with someone again. And so my guess would be where your guess is that he winds up with the Minnesota Vikings,

but I think Geno Smith could wind up being a factor there too. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I bring up Jerry Jones not to troll anybody here, but he's the one who was all in last year and then he's going to bust the budget this year. What are they waiting on?

I think they were in the Max Crosby sweepstakes. They were. They were in. Okay. Yeah, I would say one name to keep an eye on for them would be, would be tray Hendricks in. Especially if the market comes down a little bit like it seems to have. They did take care, they did address the adress or question,

which is the biggest question for them coming into this off season. And going and trading for a Sean Gary, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're not necessarily done there yet. They've got a young player, they really like and don't have an Azaraco. It was a rookie last year.

So I think you could wind up seeing an edition there.

They've obviously got the money tied up in George Pickins on the franchise tag. They paid Javante Williams. And they did make the run at Max Crosby. I could also see them doing something at corner here in the next day or two. So I don't think they're done,

but they did make a move right before the start of free agency and trading for Gary. And I think were Sean Gary's better than some of the adressers that got paid out there on the market. And if they wind up with both Gary and Hendricks in, well, now you're talking about kind of reimagining who you are on the defense of front,

especially if a guy like Azaraco can take another step. So free agency's not over yet. We're not even 24 hours in. So I think that the Cowboys defense is going to look significantly different by the time we get to the beginning of May when the draft is over.

And maybe we'll see another move or two as part of that in the next day or two. Good to talk to you.

So always know your busy.

Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood,

and releasing our first record in over 10 years.

We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture.

And that's not reality. A lot of the time is for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now.

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK of looking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now

the most prolific child killer in modern British history.

Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict of villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppi. Lucy Leppi has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the full story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.

I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt, the case of Lucy Leppi, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Leppi was. No voicing of any skepticism are doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.

Listen to doubt the case of Lucy Leppi on the iHard Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast.

This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.

Late one night Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime.

He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termine Hudson as the perpetrator. Termine was sentenced to 99 years. And like Laura, this can't be real.

I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster.

Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the iHard Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I ran down the draft king's odds after yesterday's soup. The free agency frenzy for the superbowl odds. The ramsier favorite followed by the seahawks and the ravens.

They're tied. Then it's the bills. Cheaps Packers, Niners, Eagles, Chargers, Lions. And a fritzie wanted to know one of our callers wanted to know where the Broncos. Well, the patriots are next.

Then the Texans. Then it's the Broncos. Jags and bears. Then it's the Bengals. Bengals have better odds than the cowboys in the buck and ears and the stealers and the Vikings and the colds and the commanders.

Wow. So you start to look, I guess it's surprising. Now I will be surprised if the patriots make the playoffs this year. I just think they'll be a little bit of a dip. But they're probably 11th best odds.

Then the Texans, they're actually tied with the patriots. And then the Broncos as well. And as one of the callers said, hey, you know, we're a healthy ankle away from going to the Super Bowl. And you're probably right. The Jags.

Jags that plus 2500, the bears plus 2500. Then you got the Bengals plus 3000, the Cowboys plus 3500. But the buck and ears and the stealers. Steelers at plus 5000, Vikings plus 6000. That'll improve once they get Kyler Murray.

In my opinion, the stealers, I'm assuming Aaron Rodgers will be back. I don't know if there's any possibility he could go elsewhere. Or the stealers would entertain Kyler Murray. But Albert Brier, the money morning quarterback joined us last hour. And he said, Kyler wants to go to the Vikings.

It's just a question of do the Vikings won him. All right. Poll question for the final hour of the program. So you're going to be what? We've got many.

We've got a million of them up there right now.

Maybe some of our most eclectic slash diverse poll questions.

Okay. One from Paul, who had the best day yesterday right now. Malik Willis has about 49% of that vote followed by Fernando Mendoza. Yes, Paul. Didn't.

Beyond financially, he was going to get paid anywhere. The Malik Willis is career get better. Notice we'd better. Well, he has a chance to be a starting quarterback. On a team that had a fire sale and has very few weapons left in the cupboard.

I don't know.

Are you saying he should have stayed in Green Bay as a backup quarterback instead of going to Miami?

No. I would say what's our better football option out there because the money would have probably been equal. I don't think there is unless he was going to go to Arizona. Because it feels like the Vikings are going to go with Kyler Murray. Do you want to go to Arizona?

Would you want to go to Miami? I mean. Yes. I mean, if you look at the teams that were maybe interested in him, right? The dolphins, cardinals, browns, jets.

Maybe with the Steelers, a supposed could have been. Maybe the Vikings. But maybe they weren't. Maybe that money wasn't right. You know, this might have been, we might think that there were more people interested in them than they really were.

Yeah. And the money, I mean, it's not a lot to get a guy who's going to be a starting quarterback. Three years.

And it's 67.5 million dollars total.

That's pretty good. Pretty good. Especially since he just spent 350 million for one year or two. It's unbelievable bargain. Not exactly that, but close.

My numbers might be awful. Yes, Paul. Next year, 20.5 million dollars. 55. I double checked this.

He's going to make 56.5 to next year. 55 for Miami, 1.5 from Atlanta. Malik Willis will make 23 million next year. Fernando Mendoza will make 33.5 million. That combines for 56 million.

Yeah. So it was a wild day yesterday from start to finish. And still, you know, try Hendrix and could end up with the Cowboys, Kyla Murray. He's going to be released tomorrow. And I think he'll end up with the Vikings.

The Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I wasn't surprised that he went there. I was kind of surprised at the philosophy of the Dolphins. Why not just let Quinn Ures play. And then you'll be in the market for a franchise quarterback next year.

Probably what Arizona is thinking. They brought in a Gardner min shoe there. So feels like they'll have a room full of backup quarterbacks. That somebody has to start there. I like what the Raiders did.

They spent some money.

But it's only the first day.

And, you know, they'll be bits and pieces to fill in. But also, what does this mean for certain teams with the draft?

That's what interest me probably more so as we move into the second and third day of free agency.

All right. So new poll questions seen or did you just clean up the previous questions? That was one. We got a bunch more here. Here's one from the mind of Todd Fritz with their latest moves.

And if Fernando Mendoza proves to be the real deal. The Raiders are silver and back. Question mark right now. Your options there are you betcha or easy. They are easy there right now.

That's 77% of that vote. Canceling magic city night was smart or lame right now. The lanes have that at 54% of the audience. Let's see. There was another one in here too that I can't seem to find.

Which is a better movie wedding crashes or old school. That is straight up 50/50 right now. And whose career would you want Luke Wilson or Owen Wilson? 80% Owen Wilson. Dang.

Luke, you're going to take that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, Todd.

Has Luke been in anything of note very recently.

I see him on some phone commercial walking in the desert with a dog. As far as comparing Owen and Luke's career. I don't know what Luke's been in. The reasons he buys alone I would go Owen as well. Okay.

Owen is in a golf series. I think. Don't know what it's called. But I saw the promotional campaign around that. But I don't know what Luke's been involved in.

Yeah. Think that the card out some nice careers there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Can you do an impersonation if it's only one word? Like, you did your bread far. Every impersonation I have is essentially one word.

There's one one word. Yeah. Course. Course. Course.

Yeah. All right. We'll get to some phone calls here. Quiet day so far with free agency. Congratulations to Troy and Furman. They have punched their tickets to that big dance.

Team USA drop Mexico.

And that was fun to watch.

It is. It's one of those where I go, I don't know if I want to watch.

And then I watch and I go, why do I say, I don't know if I want to watch it?

I'm watching Korea against Australia. And I'm going, all right. The environment is pretty good. Pretty good. And now team USA, I think they have Italy coming up.

Is that right? And you throw out the records when those two get together. You just never know. Italy, known for their baseball. Italian baseball is no joke.

Yes, Martin. But here's the Italian. Are they Italian Americans?

Or are they like straight from Rome?

Like is it my Piazza? Like you know what? I have great grandfather that came over from the old country. I don't know the roster. Maybe maybe look at the roster and see how many players are from the United States.

Yes, Marvin. I just got word from our expert mario that it's a lot of Italian Americans. Okay. But like the Rock-O-Baldelli's of the world. Rock-O-Baldelli.

Okay. Yes, Paul. I have the Italy baseball roster up on my screen at all times. But it's probably two thirds USA born quickly looking at it. There's actually players that are born in both Canada and Venezuela on Italy roster, which is interesting.

So I would say it's mostly USA born players.

Sunday night basketball and NBC and Peacock every Sunday night.

You got Nixon the Warriors Sunday night on NBC and Peacock. We talked a little bit about SGA hitting the game winter last night. And he had a stat line that only one other player. We believe in NBA history at least when they started keeping these stats. LeBron James, where he went for 35-15 in no turnovers.

Also hitting the game winter. Well, Tony and California leads us off final hour. Hey, Tony. Hey, God, it's good morning. Oh, I'm so incredibly happy, man.

The clippers meet the next. Reach 500, split into the eighth spot. I'm a believer. We're so good now even when we lose to the spurs. We make Wemby cry and he said, "It was a toughest game of my career." That's the most physical team in the league.

I'm a believer, Dan. I know you're still a little incredulous. I'm going to have to wait. I'm going to play the long game with the clippers there. I'm just curious what happens to quali Leonard after they do that investigation. I don't know what the commissioner is waiting on.

But it feels like Pablo Torres is still kind of trolling the commissioner of, "What are you waiting for here with quali Leonard?" And somehow does he end up a free agent. Let's see.

How about Zack and Knoxville? Hi, Zack. What's on your mind today?

Hi, D.P., thanks for taking my call. I'm pretty sure that all that magic city gear is going to the same place that the 18 and out Patriots Super Bowl gear is going. There was a story on ESPN years ago about how they'd send that out to Africa or certain places or so.

There's going to be a bunch of kids walking around with some magic city swag. And I was just wondering if you remember you had the conversation with Jonah Hill about if he was, if he's not his funny feet since he got skinnier. Do you think he would have the reverse effect on Todd? If Todd got skinnier, he might be funnier.

Wow. He might look bad about that. Wow. I didn't expect that from Zack. They don't get funny when you get skinnier. And that was totally unnecessary to try to kind of connect with.

You don't have that story. Zack gets it. Zack gets it. A little bit of a leach just up his shot. How about we try it, Todd? Well, that's a measure of being working on humor or not.

It's a male beast. But I find it hard to believe that as you get slimmer, you would become funnier. It doesn't seem like that would happen. It's very few funny. Well, Jerry Seinfeld.

But you want to see someone that's like, how to add a shape and sweaty and angry and sarcastic. So how come I'm not funny? The danger pills not chubby and Adam. Chris. Chris, I'm not a dummy.

Yeah. You can't turn it on. People with, you know. How do you call him? Will Ferrell fan?

I think it's easier probably to laugh with and act somebody.

They got good material and you're like, I think goodness, I don't look like that. And there's things I've been funny. You've got a better chance of getting some chocolates. Okay.

All right.

Thank you, sir. Yeah, thanks, Zach. Yes, Paul.

You can go the other way, Todd, and put on 20.

See if you can get even more funny. Yeah, how just we might have to get a laugh that I just go even more calories. Yeah, that was a rough moment when I'm bringing that up to Jonah Hill. Because he had lost weight and I was just curious to do people look at you differently. I wasn't saying you're not as funny.

I was saying do people look at you and he didn't appreciate that. He didn't appreciate that. He didn't appreciate that. He didn't appreciate that. That was his last appearance on the show.

Yes, yes. And I think Will Ferrell likes to remind me of that moment with Jonah Hill. That was unfortunate. Yes, yes, Paul. This might be irony.

And if you remember the movie "Funny People" with Stanler, Jonah Hill's Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill's character says something about Zach about Rogan's character. You're not as funny now that you're in shape or something like that. He actually says that in the movie. Because in the movie, he gets in shape.

Maybe that's where I got it from.

I remember that line from the movie. I don't know exactly the line.

But I remember Jonah Hill going, "Dan, are you really going to ask me that?

I went, "Yep." Yes, he didn't. Not to sort of pile on. But it was right around the same era that you asked a college football coach if they're a weight impacted their ability to recruit.

And they didn't appreciate that. I remember the name and the question. I do too. I was just trying to leave that out. But they also did not appreciate that question.

And that's why we don't run a sport to me. Right there? You know? I give it, then I take it the way. Anywho.

Yes, Todd. Not everybody gets your sense of humor. That's what it all comes down to. Why it says that everybody says that. It's like, "Oh, I just got to loosen up a little bit."

Do you think I'm too thin to be funny? Me personally? I've left a lot of things you said over the years. I don't think I'm your boss. Yeah, but that being said, you know.

I've given tech and shot to each other over the last 20 plus years. So that doesn't get in the way of that. But if I gain 20 pounds, we'll be hilarious. Thank you, Todd. Dan and Naples.

I Dan, what's on your mind today? Good question for Mar. Based on your Buffalo take. Do you think that's the answer?

And her fans are happier with her second round exit?

Or do you think they would have been happier? You know, making it to the big show? I think that's the answer. So, Dak Press got in his fiancee of broken up. Would you rather just be dating or make it all the way to out.

You have a bachelor bachelor at party. And then all of a sudden, you decide you're not getting married. Marvin? Well, they didn't get married. So he probably, he wanted this in this scenario.

Right? So you rather do? Did she win? I'm talking about Dan. So Dan, I don't know what happened in this relationship.

I don't either. They both had their bachelor bachelor read parties. And then all of a sudden, they announced that they weren't getting married. Yes, Todd. Yes, can't know where we're hinting at.

Dancing around the elephant in the room. Would you sign a pre-nup or expect your future spouse to sign a pre-nup? Is kind of what we're saying? TMZ debunk that story. Yeah, full debunking.

Harvey Levin debunked that. Oh, fun question. Okay. If your wife made a whole lot of money, would you sign a pre-nup? Todd?

I would be offended at first. Like, really? We're already planning on getting divorced. And you're worried about me taking half. But if I really loved her, and I would probably go,

Well, she's got a billion dollars, but you have sign a pre-nup.

And she's like smoking hot and everything. And I'm just really head over heels as no other on the pre-nup. I don't know what she looks like. I like that.

Right now, you're debating whether you should sign a pre-nup

if the smoke and hot billion hair wants to sign a pre-nup? I don't know what I'm going to get in the future. This may be my only chance for me. But I would sign it, I guess. Yeah.

Yes, Paul. I think I would sign it if I married someone who had a gigantic career financial before we met. Well, pre-nup, you still get something. It's not you walk out with a zero.

Well, a lot of times you get paid with each year of marriage. So, let's say you get a million dollars with each year of marriage. Then you get to twenty five years and you get a ten million dollar bonus. See, pre-nup, you sign? What I, of course, you know.

Yeah. Yeah, I would too. It's really not a big deal to me. Yeah, it's her money. She made it.

You fine? No. But I'll now, would you ask somebody to sign a pre.

Let's say you're worth a billion, Todd.

Would you ask your fiance to sign a pre-nup? I would say, can you just sign something for me? And I wouldn't, you know, just kind of block out the redact with it on there. No, I would, I probably would. I would ask for, if you wouldn't mind signing that.

But you'd be offended if you're wife and you're. Yes, initially, initially, I'd be offended with my initial reaction.

Like, you're worried about me. That's why I'm in this because I want to have your money.

If this doesn't work out. And then I would calm down and say, yeah, where do I sign? Yes, Marvin.

If she helped me build the billion?

No. But if I come in already as a billionaire? Yes. I'll pre-nup. Mm-hmm.

Yes, sir. All right. Let's take a break. And we'll get more phone calls. You got one, man.

Okay. Do I know? No. I didn't make any money when I met my wife. It'd be an awkward conversation to have now, though.

Yes.

I was just thinking, what are we going to pay for working with?

What are you thinking about?

That would be an awkward one now. At this point in the game? What else is that idea? Are we releasing a car? What's this paperwork?

This is a bad idea. Yeah. Post-nup. Yeah. You know, it'd be a tough initial conversation.

But no, I didn't make any money. She didn't make any money. She can have it all. When I go, she can have it all. I don't care.

I'm going to pay for the car.

I'm going to pay for the car.
