And you know, 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: if you're with me most nights or even maybe once 32 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: in a while, I generally do not talk about the 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: same story every hour. I don't do that. There's some 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: people that do this for a living. They do one 35 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: topic and they do a three hour show and they 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: repeat the same thing. It's the lazy River of sports radio. 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: I haven't done that very often because I think it's terrible. 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: It's a bad listen that's number one. Number two. I 39 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: would get bored. I would be bored. I'm not bored 40 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: with this, and so I think there's a lot to it. 41 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: You know, I got in a radio I went to 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: clown sportscaster clown college, and they teach you about the topic. 43 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: Tree you know, you got to do a talk radio show. 44 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: You have to have the topic tree, and you have 45 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: all the branches of the tree and all there's a 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: lot of branches to the tree, and so there's there's 47 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: enough meat on the bone that we it's not a 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: small turkey. It's it's it's not a small turkey, it's 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: a big turkey. There's a lot to the turkey. And 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the turkey most of the night. 51 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: Now you can call up and rant and rave about 52 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: other things. There's some other stuff I'll get to throughout 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: the show, but I'm just setting it up so we 54 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: have a resolution. We have a resolution to the NFL 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: cold war between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons. I assume 56 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: you've heard by now, maybe not. You knew something was 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. They've been at loggerheads for a while. 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: The other players that were bitching about their contracts, they 59 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: agreed to to either new deals, like Washington Commanders and 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: their wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Cincinnati Bengals gave Trey 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: Hendrickson a raise. But there was one left party of 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: one party of one that would be Micah Parsons. Who 63 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: is never going to wear the Dallas Cowboy uniform again. 64 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: Bye bye. Parsons headed to the Green Bay Packers in 65 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: a blockbuster trade, leaving America's Team five following a month's long, 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: highly publicized, highly talked about contract dispute. So what did 67 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Dallas get? Well, packers got some powerball powerball cards. They 68 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: got that couple first round picks one in twenty twenty six, 69 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: one in twenty twenty seven, and they also acquired a 70 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: defensive tackle you've never heard of named Kenny Clark, Yeah, 71 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Clark. And they give up Michael Parsons, who agreed 72 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: immediately cite unseen to a contract extension to live in 73 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Wisconsin and have a big chesshire cat smile on his face. 74 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: We are told that Parsons and the Packers have agreed 75 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: to a record setting contract one hundred and eighty eight 76 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: million dollars over four years. That's a good money if 77 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: you can get it. Now, we know these contracts are 78 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: for Gayzy. The total amounts, how much is guaranteed? So 79 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: for that it's one hundred and twenty twenty million dollars guaranteed. 80 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: So Micah Parsons will be buying dinner and what does 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: that mean In the big picture. It means that Parsons 82 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: has become the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history, 83 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: highest pick. So what do you get a couple of 84 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: sacks a game for that? That's what? What is that 85 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: per game? I don't I don't have the math on 86 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: the per game salary, but just per sack, Let's say 87 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: he gets don't know, fifteen sacks this year and he's 88 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: but he's making forty five forty seven million something like that. 89 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: There you go, all right, so let us discuss the 90 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: question who is in the winners circle on the Micah 91 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: Parsons trade from the Cowboys to the Packers. So my 92 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I've got Pirouet, Cotton Candy, and Walgreens 93 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 94 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: we are going to make some delicious, crunchy tacos. My 95 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: friend back in the day said those are gringo tacos, 96 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: but we're gonna make them now because I like them. 97 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: This yeah, so uh a, listen, this is not that hard. 98 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: We're not talking about open heart surgery here. We're not 99 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: talking about something complex. We're talking about sports. The Green 100 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: Bay Packers did just did something they weren't supposed to 101 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: do at a time they weren't supposed to do it. 102 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: This is something they never do. Now, some of you said, oh, 103 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: you gotta wrong, Ben, you gotta wrong. Okay, the take 104 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: was the proper take. And the reason that this Michael 105 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: Parsons trade is so outrageous is because that was the 106 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: proper take. I nailed the take. I got amazing credit 107 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: for that take. That was an amazing take. I dotted 108 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: the eye on the take. But the packers said, screw 109 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: the take. We're gonna change it up. We're gonna go 110 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: to Vegas. We're gonna bet the house, we're gonna gonna 111 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: go down to Fremont Street, one of those sleazy hotels 112 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: on Fremont Street. We're gonna put all the chips in 113 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: the middle. And they got a guy who, in theory, again, 114 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: in theory, is good enough to elevate the Green Bay Packers, 115 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: who were a playoff team last year. Now I have 116 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: my doubts. We'll get to that as we go through 117 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: the night. But if you check out the Richter scale 118 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: on the Micah Parsons trade from Dallas to green Bay, 119 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: this is not just your normal transaction. This is a 120 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: full blown I call it a cheese quake in Title Town, USA. 121 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers, those buttoned up conservative draft and 122 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: develop monks of the NFL monastery, just ripped off the road. 123 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: They shrudded down the catwalk and shouted f them picks 124 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: and they did a little piraauet like they were at 125 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: fashion Week in Perie, a little parrouette right there on 126 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: the catwalk. And talk about a bizarro world situation. The 127 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: last team you would think would do this would be 128 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. And here we are, all right, 129 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: And to repeat for those of you in the back 130 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: of the room, they're a little slow. The Packers don't 131 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: do splash. They don't They don't do drama. They don't 132 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: do one hundred and eighty eight million dollar contracts with 133 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars guaranteed. They do quiet 134 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: draft nights and passive aggressive news conferences. But now, are 135 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: they having a midlife crisis at lambeau Field. Are they 136 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: the person in the middle of the life going out 137 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: and buying a cherry red Ferrari. They're dancing with Micah 138 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: Parsons and they're doing it with a lampshade on their 139 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: head dancing on the table yelling we're all in, baby, 140 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: We're all in. Okay, Well, hopefully Jordan Love doesn't ride 141 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the vomit comet. And so they regressed somewhat last year 142 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. Now page two. So Jerry 143 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: Jones addressed the media following the Micah Parsons trade. We're 144 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of quotes out of this as 145 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: we work our way through the overnight. Jerry is always 146 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: good with the sound bites, and so one of the 147 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: things that stood out Jerry said that quote. We did 148 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: think it was the bet in the best interest of 149 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: our organization for the future and this season as well. 150 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: Apparently the editing department did not put any sound in, 151 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: but that's what he said. So, how do you decode 152 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones saying that Michaeh Parson's trade, the Michael Parsons 153 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: trade was in the best interest he said, best interest 154 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys organization for the future and this season. 155 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: So I'll tell you how I dcode that. This is 156 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: known as prepackaged. It's a prepackaged line. We've heard it 157 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,359 Speaker 1: hundreds of times over the years. It's not an answer. 158 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: It's a stock thing that You're right on a on 159 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: a card like a birthday card or a Hallmark card. 160 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: You could slap that line on literally any move the 161 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys make. It's one size fits all that line. The 162 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys could have traded Michah Parsons to the Green 163 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Bay Packers and they they could have acquired you know, 164 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, a beer vendor, or they could have traded 165 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: the guys selling the hot dogs. Whatever they would have done, 166 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's always in the best interest of 167 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: the organization. If Jerry Jones decides to take a bowel movement, 168 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: it's in the best interest to the Cowboy organization. It's 169 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: a fortune cookie answer. You open it up, it's the 170 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: same message every time. And listen, I understand, I understand. 171 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: We talk about this seemingly every other night. Jerry Jones 172 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: is like a carnie and he's coming to town and 173 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: he's running the cotton candy machine, the carney, and he's 174 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: spinning sugar and there's really nothing of substance there, just 175 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: a sticky mess that dissolves the second you put it 176 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: in your mouth. It just vanishes. But the best interest 177 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: means absolutely nothing, and the best means as good as 178 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: all the rest. We say that all the time. It's 179 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: like saying, hey, the sun will rise in a few 180 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: hours from now in the east. Okay, thank you very much, 181 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: appreciate that. So Jerry Jones is obviously not explaining what 182 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: he is doing. He's a salesman. Jerry is selling. He's 183 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: the guy at the state fair yelling yell at you, Hey, 184 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: this is a two headed goat, two headed. Come see 185 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: the two headed goat. The future of farming is here, 186 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: a two headed goat. That's it. That's rue. So you're 187 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: you're supposed to walk away dazzled, not actually informed, but 188 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: just dazzled with Jerry Jones. All right, now, last word here. 189 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: So this is my favorite part of all of this, 190 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: the health of Micah Parsons. You might remember earlier this week, 191 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: State sponsored NFL media told us that Micah Parsons was 192 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: frantically trying to leave the Dallas Airport and he was 193 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: desperately seeking a second opinion. I'm my aching back. Holy crap, 194 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: my god. The guy's got a chronic back injury. He 195 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: needed to see another dog. So the Cowboys had Parsons 196 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: undergo an MRI on his back over the weekend, and 197 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: the results said the back was pretty clean. Suppose, so 198 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: Parsons was, for lack of a better term, doctor shopping 199 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: to find a friendly doctor that would sign off on 200 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: his back being all left up so he could miss games. So, 201 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: now that Micah Parsons is headed to Green Bay, how 202 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: is parsons back tightness going to affect the Packers? Should 203 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: they be worried? Should they be concerned at Lambeau that 204 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons has damaged goods that they just traded not one, 205 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: but two first round picks to get Micah Parsons and 206 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: he's got a bad back. So this trade from green 207 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: Bay or to green Bay from Dallas, the deal is 208 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: like a trip to Walgreens for meds. You don't need 209 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: to get a quarter zone shot. Forget about that. No 210 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: quarter zone shot. You don't need physical therapy, you don't 211 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: need an ice bath, you don't need any of that. 212 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: Because we've determined, after years and years of research doing 213 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: talk radio, that the greatest anti inflammatory known de mankind 214 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: is money. Money, money. Oh yeah, you know it, right, 215 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: You're right, you right. One of those big cartoon checks 216 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty million gaironte guaranteed and all 217 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Micah is hopping around like he's on 218 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: a pogo stick, like he's in one of those one 219 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: of those temper pedic commercials. You know, Oh, I'm feeling great. 220 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: The thing that this is, and it's a classic story 221 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: as old as time in professional sports. Players disgruntled players, 222 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: not happy, and so they fake an injury, They lie 223 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: about an injury. That's what Michael Parsons did. He's a liar. 224 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is a liar, and this is a it's 225 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: a Manny Wood situation. I would say in my life 226 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: working in and talking about athletes, that is the single 227 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: greatest I'm faking an injury story of all time. So 228 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: years ago, the Red Sox had this guy named Manny Ramirez, 229 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: was a good player. You know, he's kind of a 230 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: looney tune, and Manny was upset with the Red Sox, 231 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: so famously is a great story. So he complained my 232 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: aching knee. Manny Ramirez complained, and he actually missed a 233 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: couple of Red Sox games. And then in the clubhouse 234 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: at Finnway, one of the reporters went up to man 235 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: and said, you know which which knee is is bothering you? 236 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: And Manny was gobsmacked. He could not remember which knee 237 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: was hurting because he made it up. So the Red 238 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: Sox doctors, I remember the story. They had to They 239 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: had to have him have MRIs on both his knees, 240 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: and it was all it was all scam. It was 241 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: all scam. Much like back tightness. Remember when I covered 242 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: the NBA years ago, years ago, and the go to 243 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: injury if a guy was out too late, boozing it 244 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: off and chasing chicks was a lower back injury. If 245 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: they were hung over and couldn't play on the back 246 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: to back, they'd say they had a lower back injury 247 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: because there's really no test for a lower back injury, 248 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: and so back tightness, I would assume that's the that's 249 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: the new term for lower back injury. Like well, if 250 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: you say your back shirt, your back shirt, that's it 251 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: really a nothing you can do and you can take 252 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: some tests, but there's really not much for sure. You say, 253 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: as it hurts, it hurts, and all that stuff. 254 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor 255 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 256 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 257 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: Hey, Steve, Covino and I'm Rich Davis, and together we're 258 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 4: Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

If you're in our world, it's shocking all 316 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Let's get to the why. 317 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: Why Why did Jerry Jones end up pulling the trigger 318 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: on this Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay? Give me 319 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: the why.

There's no 324 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: need to stand in your head. The first word that 325 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: popped into my head as to why Jerry Jones ended 326 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: up pulling the trigger on this trade is ego with 327 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: a capital eu. Ego. This is a pride parade. Not 328 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: that kind of pride that I just a very proud man, 329 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 1: a lot of pride. This is a proud billionaire. And 330 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I guess at one point the family they were made 331 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: their money an oil oil baron. At one point, Jerry's 332 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: not an oil man anymore. He's a football man. He 333 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: got told no, Jerry Jones got told no. You don't 334 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: tell Jerry Jones no. If you tell Jerry Jones no, 335 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: then you got problems. And some agent decided that he 336 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: was gonna shove it into Jerry Jones's face and say no. 337 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: And we know the story now that Jerry believed he 338 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: had an agreement, he had a handshake deal with Michaeh. 339 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: Parsons back in April, and then the agent said no. 340 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: The guy trying to make a name for himself, you know, 341 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: no name agent in a tailored suit, and Jerry decided, okay, 342 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn the house down. Now. We didn't think 343 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: he would do it. We were skeptics of Michaeh Parson's 344 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: trade happening. We're also skeptics of Michael Parsons's. It's still 345 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy town trade to say we're gonna trade 346 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: a twenty six year old defensive player, Michaeh Parsons, for 347 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: a couple of tokens. And we see in the claw 348 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: machine there's some headphones in there and looks like there's 349 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: like an iPhone, and we're gonna use our tokens and 350 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: try to win the claw machine, but you're likely gonna 351 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: get nothing, And so doctors do not recommend it unless 352 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: you're Jerry Jones. And you must prove that you've still 353 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: got the biggest, baddest belt buckle in the room, and 354 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: you don't mess with the belt buckle of Jerry Jones. 355 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: And Jerry was challenged by David Mullaghetta, the agent, and 356 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: he got offended by Mullaghetta, and he made a move 357 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: out of spite. And this is a f around and 358 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: find out chart brought to life animation for the f 359 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: Around and find Out chart for that agent. Parsons camp thought, well, 360 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Jerry wouldn't do it. He's not gonna do it. No, no, 361 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: no no, And they thought he'd cave in too old. 362 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: He's not like Big Balls Bob there in Vegas. He 363 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do it. They figured the Cowboys 364 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: brand was too big a risked Jerry Jones would not 365 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: give up up the Star. But Jones loves star players. 366 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: Every man, woman and child knows Jerry Jones loves star players. 367 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: And Jerry said, you know what I'm gonna show you. 368 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: I am going to trade you to the frozen Tundra. 369 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: Get out of here. So Parsons goes from eating delicious 370 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: Texas barbecue brisket out of the smoker, he leaves that 371 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: behind and now he'll be eating delicious cheese curds. He'll 372 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: be recording his podcast on a pontoon boat on Lake Winnebego. 373 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: That's what they'll be doing, assuming he can get one 374 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: of those satellite hookups of the Internet. And he went 375 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: from the Star on the helmet, Michael Parsons to a town. 376 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: I heard this from somebody and my brother lives not 377 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: far away from lambeau Field. But the biggest media person 378 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: in Green Bay is a guy named Bill who runs 379 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: a packers blog out of his garage. But he's really popular, 380 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: I really really find so Dallas was the number Fivember 381 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: five million markets five green Bay number seventy, number seventy. 382 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: So that is not a drop off. That is a 383 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: free fall in free fall. And it's kind of like 384 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: going from hosting Good Morning America to doing weather hits 385 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: in Glendive, Montana. Did you know that Glendive, Montana is 386 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: the lowest ranked television market in America. It does not 387 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: go lower than glen Dive, Montana. That is as low 388 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: as it goes. So the endorsement dollars, they're not all gone, 389 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: but lower visibility lowered for Micah Parsons. Now that being said, 390 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: he can enjoy all the different kinds of cheeses available 391 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: over in Kenosha at the Cheese Castle. So he's got that. 392 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: And Parsons can get a statue, not next to Lombardi, 393 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: he can get one next to Harry Houdini over in 394 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: Appleton Harry Houdini Museum over there and hang out now 395 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: Page two, Is it true? Is it true that Jerry 396 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: Jones had doubts about Michael Parsons showing up in big moments. 397 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: So I am nodding my head. Yes, you can't see 398 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: me unless you're watching on the YouTube, and I'm nodding 399 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: my head. Just they don't call him Micah the mirage 400 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: for nothing like. Parsons has had a lot of sizzle. 401 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: In fact, I would say playing for the Cowboys, he's 402 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: had more sizzle than that. The heat of platter at 403 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: El tourto You know, there's a lot of sizzle there, 404 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: and yet when the lights hit brightest in the big games, 405 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: he's Casper the pass rusher is what he is, and 406 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: you see the outline, you feel some pressure, but there's 407 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: no real impact there. Poof he goes, he goes limp 408 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: And Michael Parsons is the kind of player and it's 409 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: a lot like Dak Prescott where he will dominate from 410 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year and then he'll dominate in 411 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: the middle of October and disappear by the time we 412 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: get to January, which is problematic unless they change the 413 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: NFL calendar and play the postseason a different time. He's 414 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: the defensive version of a fireworks factory. In theory, a 415 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: fireworks factory is very explosive, kaboom, a very explosive, right, 416 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: But when the fuse is lit in crunch time, all 417 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: you get is a dud, a puff of smoke, and 418 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: a sad crown bone. And that's it and an example. 419 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: And no one's talking about this, but I believe it 420 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: is a central part of why Micah Parsons was traded. 421 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: We mentioned the agent, and that's certainly a big part 422 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: of this. But let's go back in the hot up 423 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: time machine. We're going to go to the twenty twenty 424 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: three playoffs early twenty twenty four, a disastrous, dismal Cowboy 425 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: playoff loss at home two of all teams, the Green 426 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: Bay Packers in the wild card round. Micah Parsons was 427 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: a no show. Now, what is my evidence? He was 428 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: a no show watching that game, But also the statue, 429 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: Also the statue, didn't you know for the first three 430 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: quarters of that NFL playoff game in Dallas that you 431 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: had and I had as many tackles and as many 432 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: sacks as Michaeh Parsons. The Cowboys were down forty one 433 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: to sixteen going to the fourth quarter of that playoff game, 434 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: and then Michaeh. Parsons made a couple of plays in 435 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when the game was well over, well over, 436 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: and I recall how upset Jerry Jones was, and he 437 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: was one of the stars that did not shine bright. 438 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: He was a falling star, Michah Parsons in that game. 439 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: And you gotta think somewhere somewhere in the mind of 440 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and that was a factor. You just have 441 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: to think that somewhere in the back of his head, 442 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: all right now, final point. Michael Parsons issued a prepared statement. 443 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: He went on social media and issued a statement on 444 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: his trade going to the state of Wisconsin from the 445 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: state of Texas. He said, quote, I never wanted this 446 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: chapter to end, Parsons sent out on the socials, but 447 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: not everything was in my control, he wrote. Prepared statement continues, 448 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: Parsons wrote, my heart has always been here, meaning Dallas 449 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: and still is. Parsons said, well, that's because you haven't 450 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: flown to Wisconsin anyway. Now, he said, through it all, 451 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: I never he said, never made any demands. I never 452 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that 453 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: the person I trust and negotiate my contract can be 454 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: part of the process. Close quote, So can you parse 455 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: the words? Can you parse the words of Micah Parsons 456 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: saying I never wanted this chapter to end? Can you 457 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: parse the words? So my first thought on this is 458 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: what are the chances Michaeh. Parsons actually wrote that I'm 459 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna go zero point zero zero. That's my guess. You 460 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: want to go lower than that? Okay, you lower than that? 461 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: So Parsons was playing with matches and he ended up 462 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: starting a five alarm inferno. Is what he did because 463 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: he positioned himself as the harmless victim in this prepared statement. 464 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: And that is a mix of utter nonsense and a 465 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: half truth. Utter nonsense and a half truth that Michaeh 466 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: Parsons is completely innocent. I just wanted fairness, and that's 467 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: all I wanted because I recall the last Cowboy exhibition game. 468 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: Michah Parsons had an absolute conniption fit, a hissy fit 469 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: during that final exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons. He 470 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: looked like Mo Howard doing slapstick comedy with the Three Stooges. 471 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: You had bad body language, the mannerisms, the gyrations, all that. 472 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: What are your examples Ben. I'll give you my examples now. 473 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: Parsons was spotted eating those delicious stadium nachos in the 474 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: hallway right before the game started, right before kickoff. Well, 475 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: he didn't play the game. I know, it's just bad decorum. 476 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: He was also during the game spotted for a moment 477 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: or two lying on the trainer's table like he had 478 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: been shot from a bazooka while the Cowboys were on offense. 479 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: So there's that. And he also did the call me 480 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: gesture with his hand, you know how you make your 481 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: hand a phone like, hey, call me. He did the 482 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: call me gesture to a group of Falcon fans in 483 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: the bleachers who wanted him to go to Atlanta. So 484 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 1: the only thing missing was the twin pronged poke in 485 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: the eye. Y, yeah, that's the only thing missing. But 486 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: he did do a little bit of mohouard, little bit 487 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: of mohoward. Three stooges, and the common denominator. The common 488 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: denominator in this is again the agent David mula Getta. 489 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: That's the villain in this. That's the guy. He wants 490 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: to be the next Drew Rosenhous. He wants to be 491 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the Scott Boris of baseball, and I respect the hustle. 492 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: I respect the hustle. And Jerry says that he had 493 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: the outline of this contract done in April, and then 494 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: Mula Getta tossed a monkey ranch into the deal. I 495 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: tossed a monkey ranch into the deal. And the agent 496 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: acts on behalf of the client. Anyone that's ever been 497 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: in a job where you've had an agent, I've had 498 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: an agent. Obviously not a good one. I'm still doing overnights, 499 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: but I had an agent and the agent acts on 500 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: behalf of me when I had an agent, and they 501 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: are working for you in this case, they're working for 502 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. And to rephrase this, at any point, at 503 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: any time, the client in this case, Michael Parsons could 504 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: have intervened and said, listen, I appreciate this. I've worked 505 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: out the logistics on this. This is the deal I want. 506 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: And you know, man, a man, old school. I met 507 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. This is the deal he offered me. 508 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: This is the deal I accepted. So just make sure 509 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: that everything's you know, good, cross the t's dot the ies. 510 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm good. But that's not what happened, MOI get is 511 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: like Screwjerry Jones. I'm going to get my chunk of 512 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: the money here, and I'm going to get more money 513 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: out of Jerry, And so he ends up going to 514 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: green Bay. Now the other part of this and we'll 515 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: get into another conspiracy later. How about this for a conspiracy? 516 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: Did Jordan Love? Is it true? Is it true that 517 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: Jordan Love played a role in this happening, that he 518 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: facilitated this particular trade between Green Bay and Dallas, that 519 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: Jordan Love was involved this? Now, what is my evidence 520 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: on that? If you if you look at the agent 521 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: Move Aghetta here, you have to wonder if it was 522 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: orchestrated because among his other clients Jordan Love. So Michaeh 523 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: Parsons agent shares he shares his agent with among other 524 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: NFL players during Love. So is it conceivable that Move 525 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: the Ghetta weaponized Jordan Love and said, hey, Jordan, can 526 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: you do me a solid and go to the Packers 527 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: and say that my guy would love to play there, 528 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: even though he probably doesn't, but see if they'll give 529 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: you the money. They got the space, and so he did. 530 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: And there you go. I'm just throwing that out there. 531 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: Just let that breathe a little bit. You can let that 532 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: breathe a little bit. And so the agent here acting 533 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: on behalf of the client unless they're not. And now 534 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: Micah will go to Green Bay and he gets the 535 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: most money ever for a non quarterback. Good for him, 536 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: which is important because you know, twenty nine degree days 537 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: in December in Green Bay. You need really nice ear muffs, 538 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: and you need really good wolf socks. You gotta have 539 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: those really good wolf socks and a nice parker. Those 540 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: are three items that you need. And so he'll have those. 541 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: He'll be able to buy the really nice wolf socks, 542 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: some solid ear muffs, and a really nice parker. He'll 543 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: get all of those things. 544 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 545 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 546 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that? 547 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big fan gets grilled. 548 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 5: Koopolo Rushie Rice was handed a six game suspension for 549 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 5: his involvement in a multi car crash last year, and 550 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 5: Rice won't be appealing the ruling. 551 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: Ben. 552 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 5: How much of an impact is this going to have 553 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 5: on the chief season, Well, he'll be. 554 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 1: Back by the time the games get pretty important. Kansas 555 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: City showed last year they can manage the game, Andy Reid. 556 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: They did not have a great offense last year with Mahomes, 557 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: and they still were able to win those games. And 558 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: they have Xavier Worthy Hollywood Brown at the start of 559 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: the year. So those guys get hurt and the rotting 560 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: corpse of Juju Smith Schuster, so there's there's enough to 561 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: work with there, and you know, some of those guys 562 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. That's the problem. Right now, they're fine. 563 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: When those guys start getting hurt, that's the problem, but 564 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: they'll they'll end up going four and to it worse 565 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: to start the year. 566 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 5: Next, an NFL writer for Sports Illustrated predicted that Jackson 567 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 5: Dart will start thirteen games this season for the Giants. 568 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 5: Ben Are you taking the under? 569 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: I liked it, he said, thirteen, not fourteen, not twelve. 570 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: He went with thirteen. Of course, I'm gonna take the 571 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: under because even if he Russell Wilson's gonna get replaced 572 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: at some point. But you don't know if dark Jackson 573 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: Dart's gonna be good or if he's gonna get hurt, 574 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: so you always got to go under. 575 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 5: Next, Mark Cuban made a podcast appearance this week where 576 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 5: he said that he will go to his grave convinced 577 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 5: that the six NBA Finals was stolen from the Mavericks. 578 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 5: You don't agree with Cuban on much, Ben, but how 579 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 5: about this one. 580 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: No, It's absolutely correct.
