That's right, 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: college football. There's a lot of chatter about the future 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: of Lane Kiffin. Will he stay at Ole Miss or 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: go to another LSU or Florida like school in free 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: agency and coaching even though he's under contract. But there's 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: a story out that Arkansas is on the prowl for 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: a former NFL head coach. Would Arkansas actually take a 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: shot at John Gruden? We'll discuss that. Pro bouncy ball. 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: What does this trend of stars going a wall say 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: about the modern NBA? Historically terrible, the lack of playing 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: by star players in the NBA, it's at an all 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: time high. So much for the end of load management. 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: And in the Major League Baseball world. Why would Chota 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Imanaga stay with the Cubs? They rejected him, he took 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: the qualifying offer, They didn't want him around, and he's 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: still staying. We'll talk about that as well and more 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: right now here, it is our number three. Could a 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: former NFL coach, a championship level coach be headed to 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: the Ozarks? Say what?

So a lot to get to, but 52 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: we begin this hour. Don't bear the lead, my man. 53 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: We'll go to college football. Busy time on the coaching carousel, 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: round and round and round and round and round and 55 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: round and round. Coaching carousel. So former Penn State coach 56 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: James Franklin, if you've not been following the dominoes here, 57 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: James Franklin Lands and Blacksburg's in Virginia Virginia Tech. He's 58 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: doing the hokey pokey and shaking it all about Lane Kiffin. 59 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: Hot detrot Lane very popular on the coaching carousel right 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: now the old Miss coach, reports of him meeting with 61 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: the governor, having a phone meeting with the governor of Louisiana, 62 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: being wooed by Florida, and deciding by this weekend whether 63 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna stay at Oldness or whether he's gonna leave 64 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: or not. So Lane Kiffin playing some footsie and he's 65 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: not alone. Lane briefly an NFL head coach, not a 66 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: good one with the Raiders. And who's gotten next? Who's 67 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: gotten next? Well, if you have not been following the 68 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: chatter that has been going around here, perhaps not another 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: former Raider coach in the headlines Chucky boy John Gruden? Yeah, 70 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: John Gruden? How about that guy? So John Gruden has 71 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: emerged as a favorite to become the next head coach 72 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: at an SEC school. Which one that would be the 73 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: Arkansaw Razorbacks, Holy Blake and Arkansas Batman. Yes, the Arkansas 74 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: razor Backs. According to the latest numbers out from the 75 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: prediction market that we had to call earlier from a 76 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: gentleman from Rhode Island called it bro it was. How's 77 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: this legal? 78 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: Well? 79 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: The prediction market says that the odds have improved. The 80 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: same John Gruden, who coached the Buccaneers and the Raiders, 81 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: And that is a good jumping off point. So let 82 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: us discuss the question would Arkansas do it? Would they 83 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: actually do? It's one thing to talk about it, It's 84 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: one thing to throw the room around. Would Arkansas actually 85 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: take a shot at John Gruden? Has he rehabbed his 86 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: reputation enough to get that opportunity? So on this one, 87 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: I've got revival tent, Pandora's Box, what's in the box, 88 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: and Friends with Benefits. Will combine all of these things together, 89 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: and we are gonna make the babaganooche. We're gonna make 90 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: the Boba ganooshe. Now, first of all, the answer to 91 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the question would Arkansas actually take a shot at John Gruden? 92 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: The answer is a three letter word. Y e S 93 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: is the word. And I'm also nodding my head. Yes. 94 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 1: In fact, I'm nodding my head like a bobblehead that 95 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: is on the back of a truck, a pickup truck 96 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: that does not have good shock absorbers and is riding 97 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: on a very rocky road. So I'm bobbling baba babble 98 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: babble babble bah, That's what I mean. So the razorbacks 99 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: the way I look at this. They are thirsty. They 100 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: are at John Gruden's a thirst trap. They are thirsty 101 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: in the sec because they have not only been a university, 102 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: they have been irrelevant for some time now in terms 103 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: of the big boys. Here, they're wandering the desert and 104 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: they're holding a gas can. They're asking, what's it gonna 105 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: take for us to join schools like Georgia and Alabama? 106 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: And we'd like to have a seat at the big 107 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: boy table. Can we get a seat at the big 108 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: boy table? You can't get a seat at the big 109 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: boy table because you sucked, but we won't. We don't 110 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: want to suck. We want to be at the big 111 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: boy table. Well, come on, So they have not won 112 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: ten games. I'm sure Hank will call it from Tokyo 113 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: and correct me, but they have not won ten games 114 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: since twenty eleves been a minute, and they're just kind 115 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: of bummed out and been sitting on the outside. They're 116 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: the house band, if you will here, and college football's 117 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: house band, and they're the school you schedule when you 118 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: have your homecoming, and that's who you want to play. 119 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: And they don't have the headliners. They don't sell out 120 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: when they go on the road and all that stuff. 121 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: And so if you're in that position, what are you 122 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna beg borrow and steal because that's 123 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: Southern Fried football. That's what you gotta do. And you 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: don't make friends, you make headlines. And John Gruden, if 125 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: you want to make headlines, John Gruden, we've seen this 126 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. A couple of years ago 127 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: it was Dion Sanders made all kinds of headlines. That 128 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: thing's gone sideways quick in Colorado. They're not very good. 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick got the job at North Carolina. Well in 130 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, is it the year of John Gruden. 131 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: We'll have to check with the Farmers Almanac to see 132 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: if that's the case. John Gruden, he's a walking headline 133 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: on social media. The guy has made a living over 134 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: the last couple of months opening giant boxes of free 135 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: crap sent by teams like the Seattle Mariners and different universities. 136 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: He just opens up a bunch of merch and puts 137 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: it on It is oh wow wow like that. So 138 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: and Groom's not getting back to the NFL anytime soon. 139 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: Despite the many malle monologues we've done about John Gruden 140 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: going back to the NFL. He is currently involved in 141 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: a lawsuit which, oh, by the way, he is winning, 142 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: as Charlie Sheen would say, winning against the NFL, which 143 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: generally means you are radioactive in Roger Goodell's world. Sorry 144 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: not sorry. So he's got to take what you take, 145 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: what he can get in this case. Arkansas, Arkansas, Walmart money. 146 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: You have to ozar there, beautiful land, not very expensive 147 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: to live in most places. Seems like a good launching 148 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: pad for John Gruden to move on up, kind of 149 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: on the edge of town and you get to play 150 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: some big time teams here. You want to revive your brand. 151 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: Where are you're gonna go? So if you take over 152 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: that kind of program, it's like James Franklin going to 153 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: Penn State, Right, that's a dormant program. James Franklin had 154 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: some success, didn't win against good teams at Penn State, 155 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: but he had some success. And you go to Virginia 156 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech and you have some success. Okay, same thing 157 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: with John Gruden. He would play in Fayetteville. I go 158 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: there in Fayetteville like a rock music group at a 159 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: revival tech. He would just be great, just be wonderful. 160 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: He said, Well, it's the Bible Belt. They'll never allow 161 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: a guy like John Gruden, and the Bible Belt want 162 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: to bet if they're hungry enough. Football is religion in 163 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: the Bible Belt, and Sunday Service starts on Saturday night, 164 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. So why not? And 165 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: the NFL did famously leak a bunch of emails got 166 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: CIA operation. The Great Brent Musburger said at the time 167 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: as a Raider broadcaster called it a professional hit job 168 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: by paid assassins, not the normal goombas. As he said, 169 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: So Gruden sixty two, what has Gruden been doing? We 170 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: mentioned he's been doing this unboxing thing. He's young at heart, 171 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: he's chomping at the bit. He's been doing coaching clinics. 172 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: He's been giving advice to random NFL teams. And he's 173 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: also been playing grab ass with barstool. That's what he's 174 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: been doing. So he's lurking. You hire John Gruden, you 175 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: don't just get a coach. He's more than just your 176 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: standard coach. You get a headline every single day, not 177 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: just on Saturday, every single day. Arkansas doesn't need a babysitter. 178 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: They do not need a babysitter. They need a lightning ride, 179 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: and not a rod from Bakersfield, an actual lightning lightning rod, 180 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: and that would be John Gooden. Desperate times, desperate measures. 181 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: We've heard that many times over the years. And so 182 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: Arkansas does not want a rebuild. There's even there's no 183 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: such thing as a rebuild in college football, not with 184 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: the transfer portal. That does not exist in terms of 185 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: a long, slow, methodical process. No, the rebuild is, Okay, 186 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: let's get some really powerful boosters that have ties to 187 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: Walmart if you're Arkansas, and we'll just buy some really 188 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: good football players and we'll pay for a really good 189 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: football coach, and all of a sudden, within one year, boom, 190 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: we're good. Like somehow Indiana did that. They hired a 191 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: good coach, they got the right players, and they've spent 192 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of money, but they've picked the right players. 193 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: And the Indiana Hoosiers, a basketball school, matter in college football. 194 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: If Indiana can matter in the Big Ten in college 195 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: football because of the portal and hiring the right coach, 196 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: and then soaka Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference, absolutely so yeah, 197 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: you take a shot at John Gruden because you're starving 198 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and even though Gruden's have played a leftover. The leftovers 199 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: aren't that bad when you're hungry. It's like that might 200 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: be just ground beef, but it tastes like a steak 201 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: all right now. Secondly, to pro Bouncy Ball, we go 202 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate mention on the NBA. I bring 203 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: this up a startling trend to some, but not those 204 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: of us that have been paying attention, a startling trend 205 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: about the state of the NBA, and it's not good, 206 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: which makes for good talk radio. So I'll give you 207 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: the details. They've crunched the numbers. We're not even at 208 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving yet, and all told, all told, NBA stars have 209 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: already missed over two hundred games. They've already missed over 210 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: two hundred games this season due to injury or illness. 211 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: That is doubling the total that we saw a couple 212 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: of years ago when everyone's started freaking out about we've 213 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: got to do something about load management. My god, we're 214 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: ruining our product. So they've actually doubled what they did 215 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and everyone lost their mind. 216 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: Now the NBA's official star designation. What makes a star 217 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: in the NBA? Do you know you don't. Okay, I'll 218 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, I'll tell you yeah, yeah, okay. So 219 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: a star in the NBA, the designation in the league's 220 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: player Participation Policy stipulates that a star player is one 221 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: who has made an All Star or All NBA team 222 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: in any of the previous three seasons. That is a star. 223 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: So you have to be either an All Star or 224 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: All NBA guy within a three year span, you're a star. 225 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: And of those players this season, how many stars are 226 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: there in the NBA? You know, forty five? That's it. 227 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: There are forty five bona fide stars in the NBA 228 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: that meet that criteria, which means that on average, on average, 229 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: NBA star have already been sidelined by about five games 230 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: each they've missed. On average, the forty five players on 231 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: average have missed five games each. Now for a league 232 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: that has major credibility issues, right, you got gambling scandals 233 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: over here, you got players that don't want to play 234 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: over there. It's a hot mess. It is an absolute 235 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: hot mess. So the question is what does this trend, 236 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: which has continued and it's gotten worse this year, this 237 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: trend of stars going a wall. Some of these are 238 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: legitimate injuries a lot of them are not. But what 239 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: does this trend say about the current status of the NBA? 240 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: So this is to put this in terms of fire. 241 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: This is like a five alarm inferno, is what this is. 242 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: And it's at Adams Silver's headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. His 243 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: stars are vanishing like they are socks in a dryer. 244 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: Where do they go? I don't know where they go? 245 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: What happened to all the sucks? I don't know where 246 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: they went, but they're not there. I don't understand over 247 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: two hundred games. Let me repeat that for those of 248 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: your little slow over two hundred games of the stars 249 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: already have been missed. We're barely past Halloween. We're not 250 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: even a thanks even then, we didn't really begin until Christmas. Help. Now, 251 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: the NFL plays on Christmas, so forget that. I guess 252 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the NBA begins sometime what in February after the Super Bowl, 253 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: but then college basketball I don't know, April, whatever. You 254 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: get the point. So this is not so much a 255 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball league. He's like a celebrity injury report league. 256 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: The CIR Celebrity Injury report league is what it is. 257 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: And these guys are not treating the season like it's 258 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: a job. It hasn't been that way in a long time. 259 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: They're treating it like it's some kind of internship. They're 260 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: not getting paid, and it's just clock in when you're 261 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: inspired and then clock out when you're just a little sore. 262 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: Maybe you might get sore. Just that's it. That's all 263 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: you have to do. And keep in mind this did 264 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: not just happen. I'm gonna get on the bully pulpit 265 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: here and start screaming and shouting like the lunatic that 266 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: I am, because this has been an issue where there 267 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: are some smart people who saw this and were ridiculed 268 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: and mocked by the wokesters, like what are you doing? 269 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Just let the players miss a couple of games? What 270 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: doo cares? Why are you such a hard Oh, that's 271 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: what they were doing. This is the legacy of Adam Silver. 272 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: I said it. Nobody has the balls to say it right. 273 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: They're a bunch of They all suck the toes of 274 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Adam Siliver. This is Adam Silver's legacy is the commission 275 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: of the NBA. He inherited the job. David Stern was 276 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: the old commissioner. This was his empire under the tutelage 277 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: of David Stern, the NBA became this monster in the 278 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: sporting world. And it was Adam Silver who opened Pandora's box. Fully, 279 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: what's in the box? He opened Pandora's box. David Stern 280 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: would have had a stroke trying to stop what's going 281 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: on right now? How do we know that because he 282 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: did almost have a stroke trying to stop what was 283 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: going on. Back in the day when Greg Popovich who 284 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: brought this disease to pro bouncy ball. Greg Popovich who 285 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: famously sent to several of the Spurs stars home on 286 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: a Southwest Airlines flight believe it or not from I 287 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: think it was Orlando. They were supposed to go to 288 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: Miami and play on a TNT game back when TNT 289 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: had the NBA. He sent these guys home on a 290 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines flight and David Stern lost his mice. So 291 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: what are you doing? This is it? This is our product? 292 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: We sell the stars. That's the business model. You're effing 293 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: up the business model. Holy crap. And there were a 294 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: bunch of woke sports riders. I don't understand. Let the 295 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: guys have a night off. They had to play back 296 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: to bad you know, like a bunch of sissies. The 297 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: player I can't play back to back. And so David 298 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: Stern find the Spurs, a bunch of money, find Popovich, 299 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: as I remember, and then he, you know, he left 300 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: as the commissioner and Adam Silver came in there. And 301 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: what did Adam Silver do? He endorsed load management as 302 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: like some kind of birthright. He said, well, that's a 303 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, he rubber stamped the guy that is 304 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: a commissioner of the NBA. He robber stamped the death 305 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: of his product. Adam Silver did that. I didn't do that. 306 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: Adam Silver did that. He killed his own product. He did. 307 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: And now he tried to do this last year. He 308 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: sent out some Joe dumar He used Joe Dumars as 309 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: a useful idiot to send out this. Well, we've determined 310 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: now after years of saying load management's great, it's actually 311 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: not good. Well, problem, you can't unring the belt. You 312 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: can't do it right. We have now a generation of 313 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: basketball players that have been raised. You must protect your 314 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: body on you. You you're not just there for your salary. 315 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: You have to worry about your long term health and 316 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: you have to be healthy for this. It's this cultural 317 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: shift that has taking place there. And there was a 318 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: point and this has changed in my lifetime where you 319 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: would feel shame, shame, shame if you missed games, especially 320 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: road games, because they're like, oh, there's fans there that'll 321 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: never get to see me. They pid a lot of money, 322 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: they traveled from far away, all that stuff, right, all 323 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of it might have been bull crap, 324 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: but it made us feel good, right. And there were 325 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: players that would play. They would maybe play half a 326 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: game right as, wow, we're gonna play half a game whatever, 327 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: But you would feel bad if you missed time. You 328 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: felt like you were letting the fans down, You felt 329 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: like you were letting your team down, you felt like 330 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: you were letting the city down. All that. Now you 331 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: feel guilty. You talk about a onoin't eighty. Now you 332 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: feel guilty. If you play too much. It's like, dude, 333 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's brain rot and it's all over, 334 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: not just the NBA. It's in other sports too, but 335 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about the NBA right here. And the message 336 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: is crystal clear, don't risk it, don't not worth it. 337 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: You're making fifty million dollars a year don't do it. 338 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: Don't do it. So they're all playing scared with that, 339 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: and they've been indoctrinated. It's not just the players, it's 340 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: the people around the players. It's the voodoo medicine people, 341 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: it's the support staff, the whole wellness army around these 342 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: NBA players telling them not to play. It's the first 343 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: full generation of NBA players that have been indoctrinated, conditioned 344 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: that the regular season is bad. Don't do it once 345 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: you get your money, especially, don't do it. Don't don't try. 346 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: And they're Okay, so I get to wait, I get 347 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: the full amount of money. I don't have to show 348 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: up to work. I mean, we only work eighty two 349 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: games during the regular don't do it. And so it 350 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: reminds me when I covered baseball and there would always 351 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: be that rookie that would come up from Triple A 352 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: or Double A and would hustle, hit a routine ground 353 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: ball to shortstop and run like they're trying to run 354 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: away from some kind of bear in the woods. And 355 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: that player would get tapped on the shoulder and say, okay, listen, 356 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: you're making us all look bad. Don't hustle like that. 357 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's like the NBA player if 358 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: somebody comes in is gung ho to play like the 359 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: other players, Like, what are you doing? Do you're making 360 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: us look bad? Come on, man, shame on you. So 361 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: that's the NBA. Good good job, Adam Silver, hell of 362 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: a commissioner. Meanwhile, final fought. We go to baseball. Quickly, 363 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: we go to Major League Baseball. We go to Chicago. 364 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: After making waves declining declining his in the option, the 365 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: Cubs decline the option for Shota Imanaga, the starting pitcher. 366 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: He will be back in Chicago with the Cubs. After all, 367 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: he signed the qualifying offer to return for a mere 368 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars on a one year deal. Quick question, 369 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: why would show it to Imanaga, the starting pitcher stay 370 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: with the Cubs when they rejected him, They blocked him 371 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: like mutambo. So now, initially this makes zero sense. When 372 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: you first heard this or saw it, you're like, oh, 373 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: I didn't make any sense until you look at the market. 374 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: Until you look at the market. The Cubs didn't reject him, 375 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: they just didn't want to marry him long term. So 376 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: that's the first time they don't want to sign a 377 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: long term contract. They gave him the qualifying offer. The 378 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: moral of the story, if the Cubs didn't want him, 379 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: then they wouldn't have done that. So it's the Cubs 380 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: way of saying, listen, we kind of like we had 381 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: a good time. Let's not put a label on this. 382 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: We're not gonna get married. How about just a nice 383 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: friends with benefit situation. Okay, fine, I'm good with that. 384 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: All right. So they're friends with benefits and it's a 385 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: one year deal. And for the player in Minaga, he 386 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: clearly loves deep Dish pizza Lake, Michigan on a boat 387 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: in August and the Cubs swiped left, he swiped right, 388 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: and then the Cubs gave him an option of coming back. 389 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: He said, okay, it is Actually it's a win win 390 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: when you look at it, because he gets a one 391 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: year deal to kind of fix stuff. He was terrible. 392 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: You talk about Doctor Jekyll mister Hyde last year. He 393 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: had an absolute fallout in the second half. First half, 394 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: he was an ace for the Cubs, had an ERA 395 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: of under three in the first half. The league was 396 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: hitting under two hundred against him. In the second half, 397 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: is era was over almost five. He was terrible as 398 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: batting practice in the second half or Emanaga, and Little 399 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: Birdie says that the Managa his agent did go out 400 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: put feelers out test the market see who was looking 401 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: for starting pitching, teams like the Angels and teams like that, 402 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: and they determined there were not enough fish that were 403 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: willing to go that direction, and so they decided to 404 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: go back and the teams weren't going to pay the 405 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: big money. And that's really the lesson of what's happened 406 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: the last couple days of you follow the off season. 407 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: In baseball, the free agent market, even for starting pitching 408 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: like I Monaga, is not great. There's a lot of 409 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: teams that are hoarding money. They're bunkering down here preparing 410 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: for a work stoppage. You look at Glaber Torres, Trent Grisham, 411 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: Brandon Woodriff, all of them took qualifying offers. Shane Bieber 412 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: in Toronto, stuck around Jack Flaherty in Detroit. Now those guys, 413 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: a lot of them had bad seasons or bad parts 414 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: of the season or whatever, but they all stayed. And 415 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: what does that tell you, Well, it tells us that 416 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: these guys are not gonna They determined they weren't going 417 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: to find the money. Nobody really wanted them, and these 418 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: are pillow deals. They're one year deals. And you say, Okay, 419 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: I'll bounce back, I'll have a soft landing spot. I'll rebound, 420 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: I'll go back to market and then I'll see what 421 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: I can get. I love that the economics in baseball 422 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: are such where twenty two million dollars is a sweetheart deal. 423 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
