28
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: In a previous episode of this show, we were ranting

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: about the stylings of Jerry Jones, good old Jared Jerry's World.

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: So that is where we're going to pick up here

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: the end of the Yang. I mentioned that, and so

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: we had Jerry Jones give the State of the Cowboy

33
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: address at the beginning of training camp in the Nard

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Aux nerd Well Now Cowboy all pro edge rusher extraordinaire,

00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: or at least ask him. He'll tell you that. Michael

36
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Parsons pushing back, Push it back, now, push you back,

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: pushing back against Jerry Joe's Now Michael publicly acknowledged that

38
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: he is the D word discouraged, oh my god, discourage

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: that a long term deal has not been reached with

40
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: the organization. So I don't know if you saw this

41
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: or heard about. We have some audio. We're going to

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,360

00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 5: see these the team's taking care of their best guys.

48
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,320

00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 6: Around league and taking care of you.

53
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 5: You know, I wish you had something like you know,

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: that same type of energy.

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 7: You know.

56
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: All right, so let us discuss You mentioned Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt,

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: Max Crosby in his rant. So as we discussed do

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: you feel bad? Do you feel bad for Micah Parsons

59
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: being discouraged by his Cowboy contract talks. So on this one,

60
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: I've got Kardashians, alphabet soup, and Russian roulette, and we

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we're gonna

62
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: make one of those elbow long State Fair style corn dogs.

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: That you can get in the summer. You know, everything's

64
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: deep fried at those state fairs and man, they good.

65
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: So hey, my favorite part is, and I don't know

66
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: if you could pick up on it, a lot of

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: people have other things going on. We're pretty much background noise.

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: You're working, you're driving, you're trying to sleep, whatever. If

69
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: we can't play that again, though, if you listen in

70
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the background, you can hear one of Micah parsons teammates

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: there who was like his hype man, who was throwing

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: out names. If you can listen, turn up the audio

73
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: because I heard this. You could hear the teammate who

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: was shouting out like the next line for Micah Parsons,

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a good hype man. Take a listen again,

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: listen to this.

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: Well, honestly, yeah, when you go around the league and

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 5: you see these other teams taking care of their best guys,

79
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: I see TJ got taken care of you know, Max

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: got taken care of, Miles got taken care of him,

81
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: he got two years left on his jill. So it's

82
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 5: hard to hear. You see a lot of pig going around.

83
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 6: The league and taking care of you something like you know.

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, same type of all right, all right, you could

85
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: hear it in the background if you've turned the audio

86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: all the way up. And yeah, your ear drums are

87
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: blown when I started talking. So this whole thing makes me.

88
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: I want a puke in my mouth, is what it

89
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: makes me. Michael Parsons is discouraged. Give me a break,

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: all right, give me a break on this one. He's

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna get paid eventually. This is all part of the process.

92
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: It's all part of the show. Uh. And he's that

93
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: the freaky freak of defense, right, all pro all this

94
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: face of the defense of America's team and all these

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: fine things here, and he's out there playing sad boy

96
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: with the media, right because Jerry Jones has not handed

97
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: him a cartoon sized blank check and say just sign

98
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: on the dot line. It's like a pity party a

99
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: training camp. We're gonna start training camp and we're gonna

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: have a pity party. Just whine to the media. I'll

101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: get my teammate over alongside here. We're gonna whine and complain.

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: And then, of course you got a sub tweet. He's

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: already done that. He's already done that. Uh, post some

104
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: kind of cryptic social media message. Uh, and you do that.

105
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: It's right out of the middle school play book, right

106
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: out of the middle school playbook. So you do that,

107
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: and I want the same energy as TJ. Watt, God

108
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: and Max Crosby money and all that stuff. Boo freaking

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: who right are you kidding me here? Seriously? I was like,

110
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: this just sounds terrible. It's classic cowboys dysfunction, is what

111
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: it is, Classic cowboys dysfunction. They are the Kardashians of

112
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, and they've been the Kardashians before the Kardashians,

113
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: and they'll be the Kardashians when the Kardashians are gone.

114
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: It's the soap opera in cleats, not spandex in cleats.

115
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: And they've got the glitz, the glamour, the big headlines,

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: and God bless them because they provide content, a lot

117
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: of great content right here. And man, is that good?

118
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: That is really really important here. But the drama, it

119
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on and on. You've got

120
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: the star of the drama, the soap opera, the senile

121
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: old oil tycoon, old oil family money. And Jerry Jones,

122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: good old Jerry out there. He's doing his news conferences

123
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: and he's got his sunglasses on, he's got his water

124
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: burger cup, he's got his nineteen ninety eight flip phone,

125
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: and he's got these ridiculous as I said, glasses on

126
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. And then you got Micah Parson's

127
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: who if you great him objectively as an NFL player,

128
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: he's got to get paid. He's also fools. Go does

129
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: anyone think he's not fools?

130
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: Go?

131
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Anyone raising their hand? I don't see any hands raised.

132
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: Mike has got all these gaudy stats, and people get

133
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: all horny because they see the stats. And yet, despite

134
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: being a fantasy football superstar, when the games are the biggest,

135
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: when the pressure is cranked up, where's Mike. Not where's Waldough,

136
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: it's where's Mike? Where we I don't know? He is

137
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the defensive equivalent of what Dak Prescott is on offense.

138
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: He just is. And you know, that's the proper way

139
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: to approach this, because that's the reality. You can kid

140
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: yourself and put on your cowboy fanboy year and all

141
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: that stuff, but that's the way that there's a lot

142
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: of empty calories. There a lot of empty calories when

143
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: you look at the performance of one Micah Parson there

144
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and do not be fooled by the junk stats. Do

145
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: not be fooled by the junk stats when the games

146
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: don't matter. The moping over the payday, which is standard

147
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: fair and we'll have many more malle monologues about this.

148
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: It's a popular topic this time of the sporting calendar there.

149
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: But every player now thinks that they need to be

150
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: the highest paid guy at their position the moment, the second,

151
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: the second they see someone else. It's the Ponzi scheme

152
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: situation involving ego is what it is here, and it's

153
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: it's rather exhausting, maybe not for you, but I got

154
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: no life. They pay me to pay attention to this crap,

155
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: and so every day it's none of these stories here.

156
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: It's the nbification, if you will, NBA official vacation of

157
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. So something used to happen only in the NBA,

158
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: and now it's it's spilled over to the NFL. Now

159
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Page two to Viva Las Vegas, Viva las Vegas, we go.

160
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: That is where Pete Carroll, good old Pete, giving us

161
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: the money quote he set the tone for the start

162
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: of Raiders training camp in Sin City, saying, quote, we're

163
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: going to win a bunch, and I don't care who

164
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: hears that close quote. So that is what we call

165
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: kids the money quote. So let's parse the words. What

166
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: do he said? It's fun game, let's parse the words.

167
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: So Pete Carroll saying the Raiders are going to quote

168
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: win a b those are his words and he doesn't

169
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: care who hears that. What are your impressions on this one?

170
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: So let me start by saying, I love Pollyanna Pete.

171
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Pollyanna. Pete. Pete Carroll parachutes

172
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: into town because the Raiders couldn't hire the coach they

173
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: wanted and Tom Brady got pinched by the NFL, and

174
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: so he had to hire somebody. Had to hire somebody,

175
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: so he hired this guy. And you know, Pete Carroll

176
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: comes in there, parachutes in like he's Zeus at a

177
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: pep rally. And that's the beauty of Pete Carroll. He's

178
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: spraying faery dust around the Raider facility, making bold proclamations,

179
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: bold decrees from good old Pete Carroll. It really is

180
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: wonderful when you put it under the Mallard microscope. We

181
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: like to put these things under the Mallard microscope. When

182
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: you put it under the Mallard microscope. A bunch Pete

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: Carroll said, the Raiders are gonna win a bunch of games.

184
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: So a bunch is it's got to be the most

185
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: non committal, watered down, buzzword based catchphrase you could possibly

186
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: cook up in coach speak. Got it be it's NFL

187
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: alphabet soup. We essentially are saying, hey, Pete, Care's like, well,

188
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: we hope to compete and not completely suck, and so

189
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna win a bunch. Because I try to find

190
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: out what does a bunch mean? Does a bunch mean five?

191
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Does a bunch mean ten? Does a bunch mean twelve? Fifteen?

192
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: What's a bunch? The Brady Bunch, that's an old show,

193
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: but that was more. That was more than just a few.

194
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: That was there was a lot of six kids as

195
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot. Is that a bunch? Is it six? So

196
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: the Raider's gonna win six because a bunch? That's I

197
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: don't know. That's the only thing I could come up with.

198
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: I tried to find it by Google it and I

199
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: had said, what is a bunch? What is the number

200
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: of a bunch? And it's like, well, there's nothing, really,

201
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: It's not a defined definition of what a bunch is.

202
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with six. So really, Pete Carroll's

203
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: saying the Raiders a gona win six games. More of

204
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: the same, more of the same from the Raiders. And

205
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: I hate to be the spoiler. The Legion of Boom

206
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: is not walking through that door in Vegas. And if

207
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: they do walk through that door, they're old men now,

208
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: so forget about that. And in Vegas, the Raiders do

209
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: have an old Seahawk trash player, Geno Smith, and the

210
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks when they traded Geno Smith, they went on about

211
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: cake and they got balloons to celebrate. They got rid

212
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: of that dead weight. So now you've got a quarterback

213
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: who's the equivalent of DCAF coffee. Like, what's the point

214
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: of drinking DCAF coffee? I don't get it. I don't

215
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: drink coffee, but what's the point of drinking DCAF coffee? Anyway?

216
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is the guy that you call when your

217
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: QB one has decided to go on a vacation or

218
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: has been abducted by some kind of lizard people species

219
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: taken to the sub earth at the end of the

220
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: flat earth underneath the hollow Earth, that's where you get

221
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and he comes in there. Now, Gino is

222
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: not bad. People think I believe Geno Smith is bad.

223
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe Gino Smith is bad. And we've had

224
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: our beef going back to his days at West Virginia.

225
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: You don't let Gino cook, you know, let him cook.

226
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: No one ever says let Geno Smith cook. You let

227
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Geno Smith simmer because his temperature is lukewarm. That is

228
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: what he is. Now. The Raiders have had such crappy

229
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: quarterback play that's actually an upgrade. That's actually an upgrade.

230
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: That's how bad the Raiders' offense has been. But it's

231
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: essentially built around a bubble screen and a wish. That's

232
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: the Raider offense. So unless a bunch, unless a bunch

233
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: means more than six like the Brady bunch, and you're

234
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: just getting a participation trophy at this particular point. You know,

235
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: the Bravado. I know you're supposed to be the hype man.

236
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a hype up thirteen this time of the year,

237
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: and I am cognizant of that. I realized that's part

238
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: of the game. You're in the hype business. At show business.

239
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: You got to get people excited, excite the fan base,

240
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: excite the electorate. It's like political rallies here, these training

241
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: camp situations. But in reality, when you look at the

242
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Raiders here, this franchise has not had any kind of

243
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: real identity since Al Davis was dominating trades using a

244
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: rotary phone. That's the last time the Raiders. I mean,

245
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, the Raiders used to always

246
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: brag about how they had the top winning percentage in

247
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: all the sports. There used to be these things called

248
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: pocket schedules. I remember when the Raiders were in LA

249
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: and I was a young lad and we used to

250
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: get those pocket schedules, and I was a little kid,

251
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh man, these are cool. And

252
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders always in the back of the pocket schedule.

253
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: They had, you know, commitment to excellence Al's quote there,

254
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: and they had the top winning percentages over however many

255
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: years and the Raiders are always like number one. And

256
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: if you go back to last twenty five years generation,

257
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders are in the bottom five and all of

258
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: North American sport, it's just a wild how much they blow.

259
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: They are so bad. But hey, we love Pete Carroll,

260
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Me and Pete Carroll of course lifetime friends. When he

261
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: was coaching at USC, he used the malorphone to do

262
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: a phoner the Fox Sports radio the malorphone. Pete Carroll

263
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: used the malorphone. So there was that. And unfortunately, though

264
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: you cannot bluff your way. You might win a couple

265
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: extra games because you got good coach, but you're not

266
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna win enough to really move the needle in a

267
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: division with Kansas City. And then you've got the Chargers

268
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: and the Broncos who kind of flip flip flop there.

269
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Now the last word to Tampa. We go, to Tampa,

270
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: we go where the Bucks star wide receiver man that

271
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: was up for grabs in the off season, Chris Godwin, Well,

272
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: he's not up for grabs anymore. He stayed in Tampa.

273
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin reportedly had to have a not first a second,

274
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: a second ankle sir, Did you see this? He had

275
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: a second ankle surgery during the off season that wasn't

276
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: talked about until like this week. Say what. He was

277
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: already rehabbing from the first operation, and then they said, surprise,

278
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: we're going back in So can you unscramble what this means?

279
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: So I will be medicine man Mallor. On this one,

280
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: I will unscrabble, unscramble what it means using my medical knowledge.

281
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I'll put on my medical hat here doing overnight talk radio.

282
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: So my first thought was the natural question that I

283
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: think you probably had, and I'm just like, we all

284
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: have this just out of curiosity. What exactly did the

285
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: first operation fix. It's one of these things where I

286
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: goof on these stories the surgery was successful. They almost

287
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: always say the surgery was successful. And an athlete has

288
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: an operation and it's only successful because they didn't die

289
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: in the operating room. But it does happen. Often these

290
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: operations do not fix the problem. They don't. And it's

291
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't know, rotating your tires. When

292
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: you go in and have your ankle operating, it's like, well,

293
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: that didn't work, let's try this again. Maybe this will

294
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: fix the tires. Right, It's what are you doing? It's

295
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: an ankle. It's not as tires, it's his ankle. And

296
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe I'm wrong on this. I just do

297
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: the overnight shore, but I think it's attached to the ground.

298
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: When he makes cuts as a wide receiver to try

299
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: to zip past wide receivers, and I don't think it

300
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: belongs in a petri dish at a lab somewhere for

301
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: medical experiments. But that appears to be what's happening. So

302
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: in the age of the robotic arm, the three D

303
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: printed ligaments, and all the other gadgets and thing of

304
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: the jigs they have in medicine and all this cutting

305
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: edge rehab that they love to brag about, and all

306
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: this stuff, this appears to be it's just my understanding

307
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: of it. Maybe I'm wrong. It appears to be medical

308
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: Russian roulette. We spun the chamber in the operating room

309
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: and we took a shot. Click any click, nothing, So

310
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna try togain. I mean, it'll probably work. Kind

311
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: of reminds me, and you probably do the same thing.

312
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: Like when my WiFi goes out at the Malord mansion.

313
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: What I do is a savvy tech move. I go

314
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: and unplug the Wi Fi the router, and then I

315
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: wait ten to twenty seconds and I plug it back in,

316
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: and then I expect it to be fixed. And sometimes

317
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: it's not fixed, And you know what I do. Then

318
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: I do it again. You do the same thing, but

319
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: you do it again, and then you wait and you

320
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: plug it back in and it doesn't work, and you

321
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: do it again, and why not, you know, what the hell,

322
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: I'll go for it. So the Bucks even some playoff team,

323
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: not a great team, a middling team, kind of in

324
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the NFC Tampa Bay and it's like, well,

325
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: we'll just turn Chris Godwin on and off again. We'll

326
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: put them back in the operating room and all this stuff.

327
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: But he's going into the year. The expectation was he's

328
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: going to be a reliable, dependable, lunch pale guy. He's

329
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: been that player. You don't really talk a lot about him.

330
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: He just goes out and gets you eighty catches or

331
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: so a year and a bunch of touchdowns and big

332
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: blaze and that's it. And you don't really make a

333
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: fuss about Chris Godwin. And so now he's rehabbing his

334
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: second ankle operation. So if you're Baker Mayfield, good luck Baker,

335
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: good luck Baker Mayfield. As the Bucks already just at

336
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: the start of training camp, tiptoeing their way into the

337
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: season and literally hanging on by an ankle.

338

Speaker 9: Getting out of town now, getting out of time. Welcome

368
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 9: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.

369
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere besides one another as

370
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: we stay up together fighting the goblins. We are coast

371
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: to coast, bort the motor and beyond on the mast

372
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: and swaggeringly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live from the

373
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: yard working the graveyard shift from the Fox Sports Radio

374
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Studios as approved by Chip and the cues. He's always

375
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: up late with us no matter what. And this portion

376
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in

377
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,

378
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: tire Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires

379
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and

380
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation

381
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot com. The

382
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be, so our lead this hour

383
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: is from the Natty. We follow the story of the day,

384
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: and many of the stories are rich football players complaining

385
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: they're not rich enough. These are, of course, first world problems,

386
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: the latest and this is the soup of the day.

387
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: That would be in Cincinnati where Bengals pass rushed extraordinaire,

388
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: a beacon of light in the darkness that is the

389
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: Bengals defense. Trey Hendrickson has exited stage right or is

390
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: it stage left, depends which direction he went. But yeah,

391
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: here's what we know. If you didn't see this, and

392
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: perhaps not, we are told that Hendrickson has relocated from

393
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: his football home in southern Ohio slash Northern Kentucky and

394
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: gone to Jacksonville, Florida, not because he wants to hang

395
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: out with angry Bill in Jacksonville instead, as holdout is beginning,

396
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: and he said, bye, boy, isn't going to be anywhere

397
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: near the facility. Hendrickson telling that he relocated, telling those

398
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: the care that he relocated out of Ohio to the

399
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: state of Florida as a means to remove himself from

400
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: the area surrounding training camp there for the Bungals and

401
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: not to not to be a distraction. So okay, well

402
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: that's he's clearly not attraction. He's not there, so it's

403
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: that there's no distraction. Of course, he maybe want to

404
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: rather be in Florida, you know, whether it's nice to

405
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: get the water there and all that. So let us discuss, Okay,

406
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question. How does this Trey Hendrickson

407
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: hold out end in Cincinnati? So I've got Chick fil a,

408
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: Beanie Baby, and kiss and we will combine all of

409
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: these things together, and we are going to put the

410
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket, is what we're going to do.

411
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: So number one, I said, what number is it? So

412
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson looking into my crystal ball, as a distant

413
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas, who used to

414
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: be an active member, an active member of the Malam Milisia,

415
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: now is semi retired from day to day activity in

416
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: the militia. It's not for everyone. So Hendrickson's holdout right

417
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: now is hotter than the chili in Cincinnati at a

418
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: chili cookoff there in Cincinnati, real hot, right, And so

419
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: this is not a minor skirmish. See now we're getting

420
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: to the part of the story where it gets good.

421
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: It's one thing to complain to each other in the offseason.

422
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: But now training camp is going on and Hendrickson is deciding,

423
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to go full Alamo. I am going Now

424
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: he's not in San Antonio, but he's going Alamo. There

425
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: barricading himself in a compound in my cartoon bubble above

426
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: my head, somewhere in the greater Jacksonville area. And he's

427
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: doing that, barricading himself against the Bengals. We know how

428
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: the Alamo ended. Did not end well, did not end well.

429
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: They don't like to talk about that. I didn't know

430
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: that when I watched Pewee Herman back in the day,

431
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: but I learned I died. I also saw that I

432
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: think is his bike. I saw it was going to

433
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: be immortalized there at the Alamo, Peewee's bike from those

434
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: old movies. Anyway, listen, here's the back to the point.

435
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: So when holding out, and that is what Hendrickson is doing,

436
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: he will be racking up fins like a gambler in Vegas,

437
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: a high roller who's not doing very well now. Already

438
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: he's lost over one hundred thousand dollars for skipping Mini

439
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: camp to Ching to Ching to Chin. He's facing fifty

440
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day and millions once the season begins.

441
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Now per game, once the exhibition game start, his per

442
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: game penalty will be eight hundred and seventy seven thousand

443
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: dollars fines per game. If I lost eight thousand, eight

444
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars per day of work,

445
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I would need some serious drugs to handle that. That hurts.

446
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you got. That hurts.

447
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: And so where we are now, as I analyze and

448
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: looking into my crystal ball, we are at the part

449
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: of the story where it's like Chick fil A. It's

450
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: a game of Chicken Chicken, who's gonna who's gonna fold?

451
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: Who's gonna fold? Right now, the big stumbling block and

452
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: I don't believe there's a workaround for Trey Henderson is

453
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals front office. The franchise charter of the Cincinnati

454
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: football team under Mike Brown and his tutelas is that

455
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: they pinch pennies. They pinch pennies so much that Lincoln

456
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: starts screaming, that's how tight they pinched their pennies in Cincinnati. Right,

457
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: So they charge players for gatorade we talked about that.

458
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: It's a famous Bengals story up until just a few

459
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: years ago, and they've already paid a lot of money.

460
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: It is true. They paid Mega Mega Mega Bucks for

461
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and t Higgins two hundred

462
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: and seventy six million dollars combined for that offensive trio.

463
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot for the mom and pop delicatessen there

464
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Nevertheless, this is not specifically about the money. Now,

465
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: it's always about the money, but this one is not

466
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: specifically about the money. What I mean by that, let

467
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: me put some clarity on that. It's about the pigheadedness

468
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: of the Bengals, the stubbornness of the Bengals who have

469
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: a refusal and they draw a line in the sand there.

470
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: They will not give out multi year guarantee. They have

471
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: a tradition and much like Jim Man said, it's a

472
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: tradition unlike any other. So they will not will not

473
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: possibly break that. And that's problematic. Now, what's the compromise?

474
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: What is the comerace compromise would be what Trey Hendrickson

475
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: looking for some kind of endorsement deal from Southwest Airlines.

476
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: I want to get away endorsement. He's already gone to Florida.

477
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: And we remember months ago, back in March, we talked

478
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: about it on previous episodes of the show. You might remember,

479
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: you probably don't, but we talked about it. The Bengals

480
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: let Trey Hendrickson shop himself. They let him go to market.

481
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: They said, all right, go see what you can get

482
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: and see who wants you. And there were teams that

483
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: wanted Trey Hendrickson. And there were teams like the Colts

484
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: and the Lions and the Packers and some others that

485
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: supposedly had some interest in Trey Hendrickson. And so then

486
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: the teams said, okay, we want this guy. And Hendrickson said, okay,

487
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: I found some teams that want me in a trade

488
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: and said let's work out a deal. And so the

489
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: Bengals are like, okay, we're gonna work out a deal.

490
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: We want a first round draft pick, and we prefer

491
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: it to be a top ten pick in the draft.

492
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: We'd like to get that. And everyone that was interested

493
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: in Trey Hendrickson suddenly was no longer interested. They suddenly

494
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: realized that we're not really uninterested, We're not that into it.

495
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: And so that's it. And so they you know, they

496
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: lower the buy now price. If they go back to

497
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: market and say I will lower the buy now price

498
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: and you give us a second round pick and a

499
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: fifth round pick or something like that, there is a

500
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: deal there. And then when that happens, the next thing

501
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: that happens I've seen the script is Joe Burrow comes

502
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: out moaning and grumbling and no bo just like that,

503
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: all right now, page two, by request, by request, we

504
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles, where there have been no games played,

505
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: there have been really no practices and already problems. You

506
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: see the Rams who can ram it all day and

507
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: ram it all night. They're starting quarterback, quarterback number one,

508
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Matthew staff Well, he's not going to be practicing. He'll

509
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: be off to the side there. And why oh my

510
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: aching back, Yeah, coach Sean mcvagh telling reporters that, well,

511
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: it's just not good. His back is cracking. And McVeigh

512
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: does not expect that to be a major issue, he said,

513
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: likely with a smile on his face. So what stands

514
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: out about the fact that Matthew Stafford before even a practice,

515
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: is already out for the Rams. So what stands out

516
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: is the date we are in the month of July.

517
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: We are in the month of July, and Matthew Stafford

518
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: is already being baby And we're not talking about Week

519
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: six in Baltimore against the Ravens defense. We are talking

520
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: about day number one, all right, and he's already watching

521
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: from the sidelines like he's in the VIP ten at

522
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Coachella and he's watching practice. So the Rams, now, they

523
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: somehow made it through last season, got all the way

524
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, and gave Philadelphia, the team that would

525
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: win the championship, their toughest game by far of anyone

526
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Everyone else was a pushover against the

527
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: Eagles except the Rams in a blizzard in Philadelphia. And

528
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: yet Stafford was standing for the most part upright at

529
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: the end of that even though he had a lot

530
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: of stuff that was broken. So the question is can

531
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: they do it again? Can the Rams do it again

532
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: without Stafford? And right now they're off to a bad start. Stafford,

533
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm convinced, is being held together by Elmer's glue. Nice

534
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: to love Elmer's glue. When I was in elementary school,

535
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: I played with Elmer's glue. I would put it all

536
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: over my hands and then peel off the elmer's glue,

537
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: and I was able to kill a lot of time

538
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: in the back of the classroom while the other people

539
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: were learning, I was playing with glue. But if you

540
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: touch Matthew Stafford just a little too hard, a little

541
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: bit on the wrong side, he shatters. He literally shatters,

542
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: and and he's made out of peanut brittle. Now, I

543
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: like peanut britle. I'm a fan of a peanut britle.

544
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: I enjoy the peanut brittle. But you can't have your

545
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: quarterback made out of peanut britle. That's a problem. So

546
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: when Sean McVeigh comes out and announces it's not a

547
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: major issue, like when we Ba said it's not a

548
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: major issue, let me translate that. I have a translater

549
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: key here, a key that I put in the machinery.

550
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: I twist the key and then it spits out what

551
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: McVeagh really means. He means, we're already panicking, but we

552
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: have to pretend publicly like we're not, and we have

553
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: to keep everything clean publicly, is what that means. So McVeigh,

554
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: in order for this to work with Stafford, he has

555
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: to keep Matthew Stafford wrapped in bubble wrap like a

556
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: collectible Beanie Baby from the late nineties, like a ninety

557
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: seven Beanie Baby. He's got to keep that bad boy

558
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: wrapped for the resale market. And you just know that

559
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: when October comes around and the weather the fall weathers here,

560
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: well not here, because we're in la the weather doesn't change,

561
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: but where the leaves start changing, that beautiful fall weather,

562
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: and there's a little crisp in the air, and all

563
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: that stuff in Halloween's around the corner. When we get

564
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: to October, Matthew Stafford is going to be like one

565
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: of those skeleton costume things that's all broken at the

566
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: spirit stores that pop up in October. And the backup plan,

567
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: don't worry is Jimmy g that's right, Jimmy Garopolo, who's

568
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: also made of glass and now Seanmigray. The great thing aboutmcvanny,

569
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: he's proven that he's right about this. He's got so

570
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: much hubris, he's oozing with hubris that he believes he

571
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: can figure it out. That he'll just go into a

572
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: sorcerer's workshop and he'll hold a meeting with some warlocks

573
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: and some wizards and he'll figure things out with Jimmy

574
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: G and Jimmy G is not great and he's a

575
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: middle aged older quartererback, but they'll find a way to

576
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: make it work. And Groppolo, even if he's not good

577
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: at playing quarterback, he's got a great drawlne really good

578
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: draw line, and he's been in big games. Hadn't played

579
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: well in most of them, but he's been in big games.

580
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: And so he gives the Rams someone who looks really

581
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: good holding a clipboard and wearing a visor on the sidelines.

582
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: That's what he does, all right, now, final point to

583
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: a social media brew ha ha we go and I

584
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: got a kick out of this motown beef motown beef

585
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: on display. And this does tie into Matthew Stafford. So

586
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: a boy named Sue in doma Con Sue who is

587
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: on the short list of athletes who have blocked yours

588
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: truly because of this show and things I've said on

589
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: this show. The thin skin tough guy and doma Con Sue,

590
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: who was known for smashing players faces in on the

591
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: football field, couldn't handle overnight gas baggery. But nonetheless so

592
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: and Domakan Sue went on social media, went on a

593
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: tirade ripping the Lions. Now Sue retired from the NFL. Recently,

594
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: he took some shots at the Lions, saying that he,

595
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: meaning Sue, should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford

596
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: during the twenty fifteen NFL free agency So what intrigues

597
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: you the most about this one? So? To me, the

598
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: thing that stands out like a throbbing sore thumb is

599
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: the utter stupidity of we're talking about a decade old

600
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: grudge and it's so ridiculous. It's not like these guys

601
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: both didn't make tons of money, and here's Sue still upset.

602
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: This has got to be one of the dumbest things

603
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: I've heard come out of the mouth of a grown

604
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: ass man who was known as a mean sob. While

605
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: you play right, and Sue said, I should have been

606
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: paid more than Matthew Stafford said what? So this goes again,

607
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: this goes back. We're going to twenty fifteen, the off

608
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: season of twenty fifteen, so soon. Let me get it straight.

609
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: So you think a defensive tackle, a position that often

610
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: rotates off the field on third down, and a guy

611
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: that would get flagged for major penalties on a regular basis,

612
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: you believe that player should have been paid more than

613
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, the face of the franchise, the only

614
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: guy in the league who touches the ball on every

615
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: single offensive play. That would be the equivalent of me

616
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: going to management here and saying, hey, listen, we have

617
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: a more diverse audience, We have a more loyal audience

618
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: than Colin Coward. You should pay me more. They don't.

619
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: They would laugh at me, and then they would they

620
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: would spit a loogie right between my eyes, right above

621
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: my nose, between my eyes, and I'd walk out. To

622
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: put it a different way in musical terms, Sue does

623
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: not understand. Tell me, you don't understand roster building without

624
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: telling me. If you think of the classic rock group Kiss, right,

625
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: it would be like they've they've had a few drummers

626
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: over the years with Kiss. But Eric Singer aka Catman

627
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: the Catman, right, Eric Singer, if he walked into the

628
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: record label and he said, listen, I gotta get more money. Okay,

629
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: I got to get more money. I got to be

630
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: paid more than Gene Simmons because I bang the drums

631
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: louder than he sings, right, And so they would say

632
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: what they would say. The record label would say, don't

633
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: let the door hit you. Where the good Lord split

634
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: you is what they now. They wouldn't spit a loogie,

635
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: I'd get the lougie, but that's what he would get.

636
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: And yet here we are. That's in Domakon Sue on

637
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: this one. That's what he's doing now, don't get me wrong.

638
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: And Donakan Sue, even though you had to hear a

639
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: beef with our show, was a very dominant, nasty, violent player,

640
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: and he was like one of the last guys that

641
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: played like that. We have a bunch of wusses playing

642
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: football relative to that era and players before, they're softer

643
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: than ever now. But that's the way it goes, right,

644
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: get softers and get more violent. People can't handle violence.

645
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: In the NFL went from a mom and pop business

646
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: where they sold NFL's hardest hits and they celebrated that,

647
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: and they got sued and they have so much money

648
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: and they have lawyers involved, and so they changed everything.

649
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: And now you can't do that, and you have to

650
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: limit practices and because the players can't handle the practices

651
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: and so and Sue was a problem child on the

652
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: field and all that stuff. But regardless of all of that, again,

653
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: this is about a beef and Domacons, who ten years

654
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: later still complaining that the Lions paid Matthew Stafford more

655
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: than him. All right, and again, quarterbacks, we don't necessarily

656
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: like them, but they get paid a lot. They have

657
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: the ball in their hands all the time. They're the

658
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: ones that side off and who wins and loses and

659
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. While they are important, they can also get

660
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: double teamed and get taken out of competition. Right, and

661
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: so there you go. I will give Endomiconsu a little

662
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: extra credit. It's a little bit for holding on to

663
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: a grudge. The bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. What

664
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna do when the bad blood comes for you?

665

Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor

00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go to the third degree,

668
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: Here we go, this is one big gets grailed. Here

669
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: we go. Cooo.

670
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 10: So the Titans are in the market for a quarterback.

671
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 10: Number one overall pick cam Ward will certainly start, but

672
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 10: with Will Levis out for the season, the backup plan

673
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 10: is very murky. Yeah, Ben, who do you think the

674
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 10: Titans should go to to fill their voyd? A quarterback?

675
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: They got to find a guy in the Canadian Football League.

676
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: The top available free agent quarterbacks right now are Carson Wentz,

677
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: Okay and CJ. Bethard. Those the top available unless they

678
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: want to take Teddy Bridgewater from that high school in

679
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: Miami where he's apparently coaching, but he got suspended. But

680
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it like of people we've heard of.

681
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: I think Tyler Huntley might be on side also, but

682
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: there's there's not a lot there, so they're pretty much

683
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: screwed at this point.

684
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 10: Next, former safety and current analyst Ryan Clark said on

685
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 10: TV Monday that the team with the most pressure to

686
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 10: reach the Super Bowl this season is the Baltimore Ravens.

687
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: Is he right, No, it's got to be Buffalo. His

688
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo has been teetering on the brink, as have the Ravens.

689
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: The Bills, though, if they don't get it done, and

690
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: you got Belichick out there that wants to go back

691
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: to the NFL, if Belichick does well at North Carolina,

692
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: that's a natural fit Belichick to Buffalo. So the McDermott's toast,

693
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: if the Bills don't get to the super Bowl, he

694
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: should be fired this year. If they don't get the

695
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, So I'm going Buffalo next.

696
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 10: Former gym Mike Tannebaum is coming with the hot takes again, Yeah,

730
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: right since says what should a guy do if his

732
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: friends and you know she was absolutely in the wrong

733
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: asking for a friend. That's from Jay school.

734
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 11: Oh you got to learn to laugh, And I think

735
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 11: that's what everyone will do, you know, It's just one

736
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 11: of those things. They're going to keep laughing for a

737
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 11: long time, hunger and be like, you have a good

738
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 11: sense of humor.

739
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lady Sideburns rights in says, how do I confront

740
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: my partner about their dragon breath? When don't you think

741
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: someone named Lady Sideburns would have dragon breath? Also, I

742
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: was gonna.

743
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 11: Say, maybe you should take care of your sideburns first

744
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 11: before thinking about other people's business. But at the same time,

745
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 11: if you are in their mouth all the time, that's

746
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 11: really gross and you don't want them to have bad breath.

747
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 11: I dated this one guy once. Oh my god, he

748
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 11: had the worst breath I've ever smelled on a person.

749
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: You would have dealt with it if he had the

750
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: big bank.

751
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 11: I would be like, Hey, I'm gonna go brush my teeth.

Speaker 1: You want to come brush my.

753

Speaker 11: Brush our teeth together? Oh yeah, just to encourage him

754
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 11: to brush his teeth a sign. And then I'd be like,

Speaker 11: when was the last time you went to the dentist?

756
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,560

00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 11: It's to escape.

762
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: You can't. If you win the lottery, you can't.
