Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, so our lead to begin. We're gonna start

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: with the grapevine. It is the silly season, and when

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: it is the silly season, you must go on a

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: rampage and enjoy every little nugget that comes out. So

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: we start out deep in the heart of Texas. The

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: plot thickens in Jerry's world. Have you heard the latest

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: on this? Have you been following?

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: No?

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Okay, good? Good for you? Maybe not. So we've learned

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: now that the Cowboys thought they assumed, you know what

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: happens when you assume they were close to acquiring Raiders

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: Edge rusher Max Crosby. That's Max with two xes, not

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: three xes. Max Crosby via a trade this week. However,

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: apparently that did not happen because he's Crosby's I've been

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: traded and the other teams have been sniffing around trying

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: to get in there. And so now the offers that

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders have are supposedly greater than the Cowboys offer.

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: And I love that the report said that the offers

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: for Crosby are potentially potentially up to two first round

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: draft picks. So the Cowboys, again this is the scuttle butt,

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: have tapped out. They've tossed in the sponge here and

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: pivoted to free agent defensive end or as soon to

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: be free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: decided they didn't want to pay anymore, and so they

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: got rid of him. Get out of here, you're done.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: We can have the NFL's worst defense without you. We

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: don't need you. So that is a good jumping off point.

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: Let us discuss. There's a lot to this. So the question,

38
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: the reporting the Cowboys are bowing out of the Max

39
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Crosby sweepsteaks, what's that storyline? Tell you? So my thoughts

40
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: on this. I've got QBC Madrid and large yellow sticker,

41
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: we're going to pull the pin on an audio grenade,

43
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: is what we're going to dell. Yeah, I know, I know,

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: all right, so a I like to use the time

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: tested Mallard Schnaz test and do the old smell test.

46
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do that right now. Yeah. So it

47
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: smells like Jerry Jones is doing what Jerry Jones does best.

48
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: He wins the off season. You can rip them all

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: you want, you can say that what he does is

50
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: a throwback to medieval times, but he wins the off season.

51
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: The marketing circus under the Big Top fun for all ages,

52
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Come one, come all. Jerry's great at it. Not just

53
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: an owner, He's a marketing maven, an absolute marketing maven.

54
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: The Guide treats the NFL like QVC. Everything is a promotion,

55
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Everything is a teaser trailer. Jerry leaks out, Dallas is out,

56
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: the Sharks starts circling. The debate shows start going on

57
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and on about the cowboys. Of course, Jerry don't have

58
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to say anything for the debate shows to talk about

59
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: the cowboys. Everyone gets all worked into a lather, all

60
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: worked into a ladder, and suddenly the cowboys are the

61
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: lead story yet again and MaTx Crosby right now is

62
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: sitting on a folding chair somewhere out there, maybe a table,

63
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I think maybe a chair, sitting on a chair there.

64
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: And the flea market is open for business. And then

65
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders are walking around and Tom Brady's got his

66
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: skinny pants on. You get the megaphone out there. Who

67
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: wants an all pro pass rusher? Come on down, come

68
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: on down? Right now? Do I hear two first round picks?

69
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: How about two first rounds? The second round pick? Now, somebody.

70
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Here's my theory on this. If somebody met the reserve

71
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: price for Max Crosby, then he wouldn't be in Vegas.

72
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: And I just checked before we cracked the microphones, and

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: he's still he's still with the Raiders, so he hadn't

74
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: been traded. There's no report of a trade happening, So

75
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: that would mean that that report was wishful thinking. And

76
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: they did use the weasel word. Remember this is the

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: time of the year pop goes to weasel You got

78
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: to pay attention to weasel words. And so when you

79
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: use words like potentially, right, potentially great weasel word, really

80
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: solid weasel word, potential. Yeah, it's just outstanding. See throw

81
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: it all together and it hadn't happened in the trade

82
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: of Max Crosby, Say, Jerry, is it possible? Is there

83
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: a world, a dimension in the multiverse where Jerry Jones

84
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: leaked this out? And the Cowboys they stay in the headlines.

85
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: And then it's the art of negotiation via trickeration, the

86
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: old negotiation trickeration, smoke mirrors and a couple of planted

87
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: stories to useful idiots in the media, and the message

88
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: to Crosby. It's like a dog whistle to Crosby. I'll say, hey, listen,

89
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: if you want to play in Dallas, which is the

90
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Raiders with a different logo on the helmet, then start

91
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: raising a ruckus in Vegas. You got to create chaos,

92
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: a hulla baloo if you want that. Now, keeping the

93
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: theme going page two here, as we continue all night

94
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: on the Ben Maler Show, so we are told the

95
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys are expected to shift their focus to instead of

96
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: continuing to try to get Max Crosby to acquire when

97
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the new league year begins, free agent Trey Hendrickson of

98
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: the Well he was with the Ben Gals. So let's pretend,

99
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: for the purposes of this Mallar monologue that that's not

100
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: some kind of squeeze play and that this is actually

101
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: the real deal. And that's true. So the question, if

102
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Dallas is pivoting to Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby, how

103
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: big a downgrade would that be for the Cowboys side

104
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: by side? So if you go side by side, if

105
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do pivot from Max Crosby to Trey Hendrickson,

106
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use a sandwich analogy, the Hogi analogy here

107
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: it's similar but not the same. For example, Max Crosby,

108
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: if you were to look not a list but a

109
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: big board, Benny's big board of sandwiches, a properly made

110
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: cheese steak. As the godfather of Fox Sports Radio, the

111
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: great Tony Bruno taught me years ago, you gotta have

112
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the provolone, not the cheese whiz on, that the right

113
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: kind of bread, the whole thing. Throw that together. That's

114
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: a perfect sandwich, the cheese steak sandwich with the onion,

115
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: the peppers and all that. That's the way to do it. Now. Hendrickson,

116
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: he's a sandwich. However, he's like a spicy chicken sandwich

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: that's been sitting out under a heating lamp at a

118
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: seven to eleven for the last twenty two hours. Not

119
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: quite the same, not quite the same, a sandwich, but

120
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: not quite the same. Now both these guys get sacks. However,

121
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: when the run game comes towards Hendrickson, he undergoes a metamorphosis.

122
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: He travels through time to Madrid, Spain. He becomes a bullfighter,

123
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: a matador ole lay and running backs. They just go

124
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: who right by him? Now, Crosby, when you look at

125
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: his body of work here he's a Swiss army knife

126
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and he's able to play the run and wants to

127
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: play all the time, and all that has been durable.

128
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: And he's also a little bit younger and in that

129
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: business obviously, that's a big deal. The kind of a

130
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: guy that is the centerpiece. Not that Hendrickson wouldn't be

131
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the centerpiece. The cowboys have a bunch of no names

132
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: and bums on defense Flotsham and Jetsam. But he's more.

133
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Instead of a Swiss army knife that has a little

134
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: bit of everything, he's more like a switchblade. Doesn't have

135
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: the other attachments, just a switchblade. That's it. That's all

136
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: he's got. So Jerry is being a it would appear again,

137
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: how much of this is true, and how much of

138
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: this is for public consumption. As Jerry likes to say,

139
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: when things get boring around here, I like to stir

140
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: it up a little bit so it looks from the

141
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: outside that Jerry is being a frugal shopper, that he's

142
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: being a frugal shopper budgets tight. You know, it is

143
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: true that those megayachts and Jerry's got a really nice

144
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: yacht last we heard, and you need to have a

145
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: bunch of people on staff for that. If you want

146
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: to enjoy the South of France, you got to have

147
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: the internet on there. You gotta have, you know, the

148
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: greatest chefs and the cleaning people and servants and all

149
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: that on those megayachts. And so if you spend a

150
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: little more on Max Crosby, do you then have to

151
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: get rid of your butler, your second or third butler

152
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: on the yacht. That's a tough decision. I think we

153
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: can all understand and relate to the dilemma that Jerry

154
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: would have. All right, now, last word to the belt

155
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: Way we go a player that we have talked about

156
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: way too much. I was saying about this when I

157
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: was coming to the studio. I was like, we've talked

158
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: about this guy way too much, considering how few impact

159
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: moments he's had in his career. Now who am I

160
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: talking about? That would be Brandon Auk, the wide receiver

161
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: who I guess is technically part of the forty nine Ers.

162
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: I guess the new league year starts next week. So

163
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: there's some chatter, and we love our chatter that the

164
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: Commanders could sign Brandon Ayuk to a one year prove

165
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: it deal, a one year prove it deal if the

166
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers end up doing they release them, which

167
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: I assume we all assume that's going to happen. It

168
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: seems like that's obviously the Niners are pretty much said

169
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna get rid of him, whether they trade them

170
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: or release them. More likely you would just release him

171
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: because why would you trade for a player who's going

172
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: to be released anyway. So the question on this one

173
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: what stands out, if anything, what stands out to you

174
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: about Washington, the team formerly known as the Redskins looking

175
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: to add wide receiver Brandon Auk on a prove it contract.

176
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: So the first thing is rather clear. I think everyone

177
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, the person in the back of the room over.

178
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: The person in the way in the back of the

179
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: warehouse is not even listening. They know. The NFL motto

180
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: is never give up on talent, even when the talent,

181
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: like in this case, is clearly given up on their

182
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: own frontal lobe. You just don't give up on the talent,

183
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: you don't, you know. I mean, there's a wide receiver

184
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: right now in jail who killed a young woman and

185
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: her dog. They burned up alive because of him, and

186
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get out of jail relatively soon, and someone's

187
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna give him a tryout. That's how the NFL operates,

188
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: That's how they do things there. Obviously this is not

189
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: that this is much much different, but Brandon auc has

190
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: a large yellow sticker that has been slapped on his

191
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: back and it reads buyer, Beware, buyer Beware. A dynamic

192
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: separation merchant, an artist of separation who has also managed

193
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: to separate himself from his teammates. His coach is not

194
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: his own ego, though he cannot separate himself from his

195
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: own ego, and after that Frisco fiasco where he cost

196
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: himself a cool twenty seven million, you realize in the

197
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: annals of the NFL there are only a handful of

198
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: people in the history of the NFL that have blown

199
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars of their money guaranteed loot. There's

200
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: a guy in jail that was going around robbing banks

201
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: to go to Chiefs games and to gamble. And that

202
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: guy didn't get twenty seven million when he was robbing banks.

203
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: This guy gave up twenty seven million, the steepest exit

204
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: tax to leave California yet and certainly in NFL history.

205
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: And he's now looking to have what make it prove

206
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: it deals? That's what he's got, which even that, you're like,

207
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: why does he even have that? What is he out

208
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: to prove? He's out to prove what that he's not

209
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: some kind of high speed social media addicted powder keg.

210
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: And that's what is it give the commanders? And then

211
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: the commanders are in this weird spot. They came out

212
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: of know where they had sucked for years. They came

213
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: out of know where. It got to the Final four

214
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: and then got smoked in the final four, had that

215
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: magic playoff run. Jayden Daniels looks like he's gonna snap

216
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: at any moment. He snapped last year. And the commanders

217
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: are terrible and so if they pull the trigger on this,

218
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: they can enjoy a nice lunch menu that includes their

219
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: own sandwich, the knuckle Sandwich from the knucklehead in Chief.

220
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: And look forward to the two receivers set in Washington.

221
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: On one side, you'll have scary Terry McLaren. On the

222
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: other side, you'll have scary immaturity iyuk and good Luck

223
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: good Luck and Washington supposedly realizing that even if they

224
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: got this guy, they still have to go get somebody

225
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: else at the White opposition. And so the reason you

226
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: would have to do that is because whoever adds the

227
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: soon to be former forty nine or Brandon knows that

228
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: they are one or he is one bad tick talk

229
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: post away from a self inflicted trip back to the doghouse.

230
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: And good luck. Now in DC, they'll learn the only

231
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: thing more toxic, the only more toxic in DC than politics,

232
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: is a white out who sends communication via a cryptic

233
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: emoji or a bunch of cryptic emojis and cannot stop

234
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: cold turkey, cannot do it, addicted, addicted, and is so

235
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: addicted to it that he's willing to give up twenty

236
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: seven million dollars at some point if he's lucky. Brandon

237
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: and I could be an old man and'll be sitting

238
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: on a rocking chair somewhere and talking about his life

239
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: and say, you know, maybe I shouldn't have Maybe I

240
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. Maybe I just you know, I

241
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: could have been could have had a little more money there,

242
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: leave the kids, grandkids, great grandkids.

243

256
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the transaction Wire.

257
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: We go where the Buffalo Roam and the NFL. The

258
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Bills have made a move. They needed help. They don't

259
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: have much there. They didn't have much there at the

260
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. I assume you've heard by now, but

261
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: maybe not if you missed it. We learned that the

262
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo football team as acquired wide receiver d J. Moore

263
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: and a fifth round draft pick and they gave the

264
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Bears dump Bears a second round pick. Yeah, so this

265
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: is now the new player that has been deputized, DJ

266
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Moore to get Josh Allen over the Humpty Humpty and

267
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: get him into the super Bowl and win the Super

268
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: Bowl and all that. That is a good jumping off point.

269
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question is wide receiver d J.

270
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Moore going to be a success or will he be

271
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: another Bills boondoggle? Is he going to be a success

272
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: or another Bills boondoggle? So my observations, I've got airport,

273
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: gift shop, CBS Special and treasure map and we're gonna

274
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: lock all of these things together and go boom goes

275
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: to dynamite boom so number number. Yeah. After a very brief,

276
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a very very brief Mallard deliberation in the jury room,

277
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: we have come to the verdict on this and that

278
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: would be the Malard report card. On the Malard report card,

279
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. This is the most coveted report card

280
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: in all of overnight talk radio. The Buffalo Bills get

281
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: a C, they get the CE, the Chicago Bears a bit.

282
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: The Bears actually did better in this than the Bills,

283
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: and that almost never happens. And I'll tell you why.

284
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Let me walk you through this. Yere, Chicago had let

285
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: the world know they were getting a new DJ. They

286
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: were done with DJ Moore. Yafimi knows this tree in Chicago.

287
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: All my guys there in Chicago knows. So Chicago essentially

288
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: sold the used car that already had to check engine

289
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: light and they said, okay, we can get that. I mean,

290
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: they got top dollar for it, no haggling, they got

291
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: top dollar. And more was being phased out of the

292
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Bears offense, kind of like an old iPhone, like an

293
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: iPhone five or something like that. And Romadunza and others

294
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: arrived on the scene. The pecking order had changed, and

295
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: suddenly DJ Moore's stat line had some supply chain issues.

296
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: He was not getting the ball enough. There was a

297
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: shortage of targets. And now the question is why would

298
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo with all the receivers that are available, why would

299
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: they trade a second round pick for this guy. So

300
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: the reason I've determined is you follow the breadcrumbs. The

301
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: new coach, Joe Brady, I believe this is the gentleman's name.

302
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: He won't be there long, but he worked with DJ

303
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Moore back in Carolina. So the coach Brady and Moore

304
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: worked together with the Carolina Panthers. And as always, you

305
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: don't need to send a group text about this. But

306
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: it's not what you know, it's who you know, which

307
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: is really tough if you're an introvert, because it's really

308
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: not what you know, it's who you know. Now that said,

309
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: if you're looking this objectively, looking at this objective, then

310
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing more objective than overnight sports radio. Free agents

311
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: treat Buffalo like it's Siberia with chicken wings. The players

312
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: the Bills get are typically older, broken down, and have

313
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: no other options. That's typically who goes to the Bills.

314
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: It's a hard sell in free agency. It is. It's

315
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: not a glamour location, and you know it's got a

316
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: great fan base and all that's wonderful, that it's just

317
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: not people want to go there. So this is more

318
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: like shopping the Bills getting DJ more It's kind of

319
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: like shopping at the airport gift shop. We've all done it.

320
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: You know.

321
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Maybe when you were a kid, Hey, I need I

322
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: need a souvenir. You forgot you Maybe you were supposed

323
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: to get your kids a souvenir. You went on a

324
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: business trip or something like that, and you forgot to

325
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: get a souvenir. You're like, oh, crap, man, I got

326
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: to get my kid at souvenir. So you're at the

327
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: airport and you end up paying like fifty dollars for

328
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: a T shirt that should cost about fifteen dollars or whatever,

329
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: and then you bought it. Now, add in the fact,

330
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: as we slice and dice this, add in the fact

331
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: that DJ Moore's got the double whammy. What is the

332
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: double whammy? Well, questionable effort, bad attitude, what whoe? What whoe?

333
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: A chronic case of IDGA f itis. I don't give

334
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: I forget what the f wort is, but something fun

335
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't give a fun. No, I don't think that's it.

336
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: Fudge might be fudge lollygagging through routes or roots. There

337
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: were some clips online that were made months ago of

338
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: and you can look him up yourself. You know even

339
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: Stevie Meatballs can see them. But they showed clips of

340
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: DJ Moore who was lollygagging. It looked like he was

341
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: touring a museum on his routes and he didn't want

342
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: to be at that particularly museum, and he was doing it.

343
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: And so now Buffalo was hoping for a rebirth, a reboot,

344
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: and there is talent there Dj Moore. The reason that

345
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: he has had the long career in the NFL is

346
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: because he has the reputation of a guy that can

347
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: turn a five yard pass into a highlight. It was

348
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: a slippery player, elusive, and so that's very valuable. But

349
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: more as he has not been that guy sliding away

350
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: the last couple years. And so now by default he

351
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: is the number one wide number. He will go ahead

352
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: of the other pass catchers and Buffalo the other people

353
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: that get the ball a lot Khalil Shakur and Dalton

354
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Kincaid and those guys Buffalo betting. They are betting on

355
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: a career resurrection tour, a comeback tour for the ages,

356
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: one of those things. Will it work? Eh? Or maybe

357
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: this just turns into another magic trick, a disappearing, disappearing

358
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: second round pick for a player who is washed up.

359
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll see all right now, Page two

360
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: to the Quarterback Shuffle, the fun size edition of the

361
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: Quarterback Shuffle. The latest on Alligator Arms. He's on the

362
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: move again, Yes, Alligator Arms. You think that a number

363
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: of these teams would be frightened to death at doing

364
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: business with Kyler Murray, That where well, will likely be

365
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: the case. However, the rumors are in the air everywhere.

366
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: The latest one which I heard and smiled when I

367
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: saw this, I thought, boy, that's pretty good, that's pretty funny.

368
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: So we're hearing now that the the team that is

369
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: considering Kyler Murray. One of the teams considering Kyler Murray

370
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: is a team that had not been mentioned, had not

371
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: been mentioned, that team Canza City. What yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

372
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: So it's like an insurance policy for Patrick Mahomes who's

373
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: recovering from a torn acl little snap, crackle pop there.

374
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: So Adam Schefter, the NFL insider who famously reported years

375
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: ago that Kandy Rice was a candidate to be the

376
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Browns. So Adam Schefter or general

377
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: manager whatever, but Adam Schefter brought off the Chiefs as

378
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: a possible landing spot for Kyler Murray. So the question

379
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: are we buying Are we buying this Kyler Murray to

380
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City garbage or is this just more spin from

381
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's the people that are trying to get him

382
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: a job somewhere and peddling things through back channels. So

383
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: this one I jotted down on my note card CVS

384
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: special click views spreader, click views spreader as in click

385
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: any click. There is not going to be a stampede

386
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. There's not. And that's all this is

387
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: is engagement farming. It's a total non starter. Why would

388
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City, run by a Hall of Famer Andy Reid,

389
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: the gold standard, invite this little bug on the rug,

390
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: this virus into the building. There'd be no reason to

391
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: do that. It's an absolute joke. If I'm drafting a league,

392
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: and I say league, I mean League of Legends, team

393
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is my first overall pick, I would be

394
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: scratching and clawing to get my hot my hands on

395
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. The little fella is the goat of the joystick. However,

396
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs they don't use the joystick. They use the duke.

397
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: We're good alligator arms. Kyler Murray should be on the

398
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: no fly list for a reason. Here's another guy. He's

399
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: got some attitude issues, pouting and all that. Mahomes has.

400
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: How many years do you think Mahomes has left. He's

401
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: in his early thirty he got seven, seven, eight years.

402
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: If he wants to keep going, he's got to pay

403
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: for those water burgers. He's got that water burger empire,

404
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: so he's got to buy more water burgers. What a shot?

405
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: What a burger? He doesn't need a backup? Who'd rather

406
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: be on Twitch than watching film? And it isn't I

407
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: don't want this to happen. But if Kyler wants a

408
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: gap year, a sabbatical and to go to a good

409
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: team and be a backup, then just go go to

410
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't want that. I would dislike that

411
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: a lot. Of course, most of the people in my

412
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: career that I have bashed end up with teams I

413
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: like that. Seems to be how this always happens. It's

414
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: a return of the curse of the Benbino. Bro. I'm

415
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: risking my life, bro that slug Blake snails on the Dodgers.

416
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: I did a lot of material ripping James Harden playoff Harden.

417
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: He ended up playing for the Clippers for a little bit.

418
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: And now there's a chance that Kyler Murray ends up

419
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: with the Rams. But that would actually make some sense

420
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: because Cliff Kingsbury is there, and that means it's a

421
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: safe space for him. Cliff Kingsbury who allowed Kyler to

422
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: play all the video games unchecked and all that. So

423
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: Kyler likes him because he's the parent that lets you

424
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: get away with everything. But the Chiefs. If you're the Chiefs,

425
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: you don't put a juice box in a wine cellar.

426
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: The quarterback room's a wine cellar. You don't put a

427
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: juice box in there. What are you doing? All? Right?

428
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: Final point? Now we go to Tampa where a little

429
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: birdie tells us the wide receiver mark for Mike Evans

430
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: is not looking that great. The Tennessee Titans and the Raiders.

431
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Those are the two teams that are said to be

432
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: the most interested in Mike Evans should he end up

433
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: leaving Tampa Bay. Those are the two teams that are

434
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: trying to get their hands and rallying around to get

435
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: a wide receiver Mike Evans. So the question you've got

436
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: this pending free agent wide receiver Mike Evans, who is

437
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: very popular with Tennessee and Vegas. You make the call

438
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: on what that means. So I will make the call here.

439
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: I've read the treasure map. I've looked at the treasure map.

440
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: It means that all roads and all bodies of water

441
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: lead back to Tampa, all of them. There is no

442
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: decision to be made. You're telling me that your options are.

443
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: You can either go play for the quote we asked Titans.

444
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: That's not my nickname. That's cam Ward's nickname for the Titans,

445
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: the wee ass Titans, or the Supreme Greens Raiders. Now,

446
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: if you don't know the history of Supreme Greens and

447
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: you want to get an education, type into Google Alex Guerrero,

448
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: that's Tom Brady's best friend and Supreme Greens. Check that out. Yeah. Absolutely,

449
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: even that would make Doc Mike blush that story. So

450
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: that whole thing's pathetic. It's kind of like these choices

451
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: are like being the kid and your parents says, Okay

452
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: for dinner, We've got Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, and you

453
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: have to pick one. Well, no, you're a picky little eater.

454
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: You look at the stats. Evans, I get that he's

455
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: coming off a bad year. He was hurt, he had

456
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: less than four hundred yards receiving, only had a few touchdowns.

457
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: He played I think it was like eight games or

458
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: something like that. Had a hammy that went whammy, that

459
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: was taped together and then the collar bone went snap,

460
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,760

Speaker 1: or Chiefs come knocking on the door, I hear them

464
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,000

Speaker 1: you don't move. Why would you? Now if they call

466
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,440

Speaker 2: grilled Krubolo.

478
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett just signed a contract extension last offseason, but

479
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: teams apparently think the Browns could still trade him. Teams

480
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: have reportedly reached out and Cleveland is listening. Ben, do

481
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: you think he actually gets traded?

482
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I say there's a ten percent chance. He's all that

483
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland has. They have no other star players. Everyone else

484
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: saw Shooter Sanders blows, so he's the only they have

485
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: and they don't They can't win, so they got at

486
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: least one star player. So I'd say there's a there's

487
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: a ten percent chance that Miles Garrett is traded before

488
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft next And.

489
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: The latest trade rumors, Kawhi Leonard is being linked to

490
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: these seventy six ers. This would reunite him with former

491
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: teammate Paul George. Seventy six Ers are currently on the

492
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: fringe of contention in the East. Would this move a

493
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: catapult them to the top?

494
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Only if they hire Doc Rivers as the coach, then

495
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: they would be going No, come on, listen, Well, Couy's
