Speaker 2: and where they drive ship fast and free. And that's

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: the way to do it back by free road hazard

00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire Act,

21

Speaker 2: dot Com Away tire buying should be so our lead

22
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: this hour to begin the brand new week a punching bag. Now,

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and take a bow.

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: I could do hours and hours, you know, saying well,

25
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: let's go back and I have Lucky Tony. Go and

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: look at the archive of monologues we did years ago

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: pointing out the suckage in the Valley of the Sun

28
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: and all that. You don't know what you're talking about,

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: you doing the Overnight show. Okay, Well, Kyler Murray is

30
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: so bad.

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: How bad is it?

32
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: He's so bad that it appears he's going to get

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: his wish. Nobody wants to trade for him, so it

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: appears that he's just gonna be let go from number

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: one overall pick in the draft years ago to just

36
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: being fired. If you haven't been following here, months and

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: months of chatter that Kyler Murray is gonna go play

38
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: for some other team, and the drama O rama and

39
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: all of that, and the chatter over the weekend, the

40
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Cardinals are just going to release him. Just get out

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: of here, you suck so much, and take your little

42
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: video game system with you. Get out of here. That's it,

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: and the story bouncing around this is a state funded

44
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: NFL media over the weekend pointing out that this is

45
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: going to be the greatest year ever. If you like

46
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: suck quarterbacks, if you want to add a quarterback that

47
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: cannot play at a high level, this is your year

48
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: for pennies on the dollar. As Kyler a little fella,

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: Alliator Arms Murray, he will join to a tongue of

50
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: bay loa Gino Smith, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, among others,

51
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: possibly Aaron Rodgers who will be available on the market.

52
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: But let's start out with Alligator Arms Kyler Murray. What

53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: a bust this guy was? My God, does he suck?

54
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: And so that's good Joey off Boy. Let us discuss

55
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: the question why did things not work out? And when

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: I say not workout, I mean really not work out,

57
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: really really not work out for Kyler Murray in Arizona.

58
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: So my thoughts on this. I've got Lobster Boy, Jurassic Park,

59
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: and table read and we will combine all of these

60
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: things and we're going to make a large pizza, which

61
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: would have provided, by the way, more joy to the

62
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Cardinal franchise if they just drafted a large pepperoni pizza

63
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: that would have been more successful than what they ended

64
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: up with. Now, I've been seeing some things here that

65
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: have been tossed out into the echo chamber since the

66
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: news came out. The Cardinals are going to release Kyler

67
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: Murray and many are saying, well, it's the Cardinals vault.

68
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: It's not hisld, it's the Cardinals. Wll oh my god,

69
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: what we got hurt? Okay, I can't believe a fun

70
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: sized quarterback would get hurt. That never happens, right, Some

71
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: I guess are blaming the moon cycle. We had a

72
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: cosmic event the other day, so that might be why.

73
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: We'll have to check with our astrology insider that that's

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: why this is all going going sideways. But Kyler Murray,

75
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how you wanna look at it. Kyler

76
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: Murray stinks. It's a solid level of stink. It's not

77
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: an occasional stank. It's a lot of stink. That's the

78
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: way it is. And when you're the number one pick

79
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: in the draft, when you're drafted at the very time,

80
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: the expectation is that you're going to be a Siberian Tiger,

81
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals, for some reason thought this was a

82
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: Siberian tiger. Well, it turns out it was. It was

83
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: a Ragdoll house cat. Rag Doll house cat is what

84
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: it was. And first read, I guess Kyle was all right,

85
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: I guess, second read, a little bit of panic, a

86
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: little bit of panic. And then if you have to

87
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 2: go to the third reid, he is now spinning around

88
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: like he's late for the airport and he can't figure

89
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: out which terminal he needs to go to, and there's issues.

90
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 2: So Kyler Murray entered the NFL a few years back,

91
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: and we knew right away this guy's a sideshow. I

92
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: want to play with baseball. He's like a baseball player.

93
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: I'll play football. Okay, draft me number one. Okay, we'll

94
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: take it number one overall and all that stuff. But

95
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: it was always like a you look at him play

96
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: and I don't know if you've had the same, it's like,

97
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: well that something's wrong with my TV. That's like that

98
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: guy doesn't belong out there. What's up with that? It

99
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: was like audities watching Kyler Murray play. It's like a

100
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: glitch on your television there, And really he belongs in

101
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: the same category with Lobster Boy. The human cannonball and

102
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: sword swallowers, just freaks of society and all that stuff.

103
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: You draft at the very top. Again, I keep going

104
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 2: back this, you draft at the very top of the

105
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: the NFL draft. You're expecting a Greek god. You're expecting

106
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: a Greek god. Instead, you went down to Best Buy

107
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: and you got the geek squad. Is what you got? Right,

108
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: Like one of those. Because Kyler's about the size of

109
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: somebody on the geek squad, I would think they could

110
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: be even bigger. They could be even bigger. And so

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: this is guy. In his NFL career with Arizona, he

112
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: has been a September hero and a December zero time

113
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: and again, and then the cardinal career, which, if you

114
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: believe state funded in NFL media, is now over. Kyler

115
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: Murray will end up as a number one pick who

116
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: did not win a playoff game. He played in one

117
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: playoff game as a starter, and if you remember, he

118
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: sat on the bench. It was against the Rams in Inglewood,

119
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: and I happened to be at the game and he

120
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: was sitting there, dazed and confused on the side, like

121
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: what just happened? I mean, wow, bismal failure, abysmal failure,

122
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: and I will leave a line open for those that

123
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: are listening in the greater Phoenix area, because I don't

124
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: think there's any Cardinal fans outside of the Greater Phoenix area.

125
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: I think they're all there in Phoenix, and I don't

126
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: think they exist anywhere else. So if you would like

127
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: to call up and I will allow you to say, listen,

128
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: you were right, I was wrong. We will do that

129
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: at some point here. But my god, the signature moment.

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: You know what the signature moment of Kyler Murray's career

131
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: with the Arizona Cardinals is. Do you know what it is?

132
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: You don't. It's a bad job by you, bad football novelge.

133
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray's signature moment in the NFL was not some

134
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: crazy touchdown pass. It wasn't a wild touchdown run by

135
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. No, no, no, no, no, no no. It

136
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: was a cause in his contract, the homework clause that

137
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: this guy is such a dingleberry, he's such a jackwagon,

138
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: this Kyler Murray. The Cardinals knew it. They said, we

139
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: got to put a homework clause in here. And when

140
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: you're supposed franchise quarterback Kyler Murray is out there and

141
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: you need an independent study. Reminder, that doesn't seem like

142
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: great leadership. What do I know, I just do the

143
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: Overnight Show. It doesn't seem like great leadership. That seems like, okay,

144
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: we got to make sure this guy goes to detention

145
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: because he's not that good at studying. We need you

146
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: got an attention. And that's the kid who was at

147
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: the Catholic school and Sister Mary had to come over

148
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: and hit him with a ruler, screaming his face. It's

149
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: got a terrible body language. The whole thing's insane. And

150
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: even more insane is we know the guy can't play,

151
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: We know he doesn't like football. He can't play, and

152
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: some other team's gonna add him that we can goof

153
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 2: on them. Meanwhile, So keeping the theme of the hour going,

154
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: we mentioned that this is the offseason if you want

155
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks that cannot play at a discount. So do

156
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 2: you have words? Here's the question, do you have words

157
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: for the available twenty twenty six NFL free agent class

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks which at this point and subject to change,

159
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: but at this point it's looking like Kyler Murray to

160
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: a tongue of by looa Geno Smith Justin Fields and

161
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. It's the Dante's Inferno, is what this is.

162
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: So this is a quarterback room. If you put all

163
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: these guys together, Kyler Murray to a geno Smith, Justin

164
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: Fields and Kirk Cousins. It is a basket of deplorables,

165
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: is what it is. Right, my word, I use two words,

166
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: handy downs. These are handy downs is what this is here.

167
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: And the quarterback big Board. If you were to look

168
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: at Benny not a list Terry and England, not a

169
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: list Bennie's Big Board of quarterbacks. This is a literal stew,

170
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: a literal stew of broken dreams, players that never made it,

171
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: some that had a little one hit wonder in them.

172
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: So you're looking at a collection. You're pretty much staring

173
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: at a collection of garbage so dense that Waste Management

174
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: should be the title sponsor. Like the Quarterback Class of

175
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six and Free Agency presented by Waste Management.

176
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Have a dump truck, drop these guys up. It's a

177
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: flea market and they talk about the players changing teams

178
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: as well. It's a flea market and all that. Well,

179
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 2: it's a flea market with Jurassic Park sized fleas, all right,

180
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: Jurassic Parks fleas is what it is. And again the

181
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: has beens the never wors get together and they hang

182
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: out and bunch of dingle Berry's and that's how they

183
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: do it. And you got Gino Smith, who's a career

184
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: backup that failed in Seattle, failed with the Raiders as

185
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: a starter, and is someone dumb enough to give him

186
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: another opportunity. Justin Field should not be taking snaps in

187
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: the NFL. He should be selling life insurance somewhere. Get

188
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 2: him a job doing that or real estate. Kirk Cousins,

189
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: we've seen enough of him. He had to go become

190
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: some kind of TV person. Put makeup on. He can

191
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: pour us on CBS or NBC. They got rid of Dungee,

192
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: so they need somebody to Boris. They can put Cousins

193
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: on there. You got Kyler Murray, who should go to

194
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: his calling here, become an esports star and leave the

195
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: NFL behind and take the joystick, put the duke down,

196
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: take the joystick and knock yourself out of the park.

197
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: The only one worth, the only one worth a second look.

198
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: And this is very liberal. Is to a tongue of

199
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Iloa who is still a ticking time bomb, who is

200
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: still a ticking time bomb to a because of the

201
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: concussions and all that stuff. You toss in that he's limited.

202
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: It's like a designated hitter back when the American League

203
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: only had the DH in the National League did not.

204
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: Where Tua is limited. You can only put him on

205
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: a West Coast team or a Dome team any weather

206
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: that is not perfect, and it's really bad, It's really

207
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: really bad. It just doesn't work. The whole thing falls apart,

208
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: the whole You can't deal. You can't do it. You

209
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: cannot do it. A one cold breeze, one snow flurry,

210
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: and the thing of a jig is just ruined. It's

211
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: just absolutely ruined, all right now, the last word here.

212
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: So we head to Detroit. We head to Detroit where

213
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: David Montgomery, that's a running back and he used to

214
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: be considered pretty good. But David Montgomery sarcastically questioning on

215
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: social media a report over the weekend claiming that the

216
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: current Lions running back Montgomery wants out of Detroit. The

217
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: team supposedly looking for a Day three draft pick number.

218
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: The first round is on Day one, then the second

219
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: and third are on Day two, and then after that

220
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: you got the fourth and the fifth and whatnot on

221
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: day three, so it's not like a fifth round pick

222
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: in return for David Montgomery. Of course they always say

223
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: this when you want to get rid of a player,

224
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: you always claim, well, it's because of the salary cap.

225
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: It's always because of the salary cap and the dumb dumbs,

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: the low information fans. They oh, yeah, okay, okay, I

227
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: believe that. Yeah, that's right. Sure, let's not question anything.

228
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: Now Montgomery was not in on this. How do we

229
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: know that David Montgomery, who had been part of the

230
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: backfield with Jamiir Gibbs, Well, he sent out a message,

231
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: as we said, on social media and he declined to

232
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: agree with the said report. So question, how does David

233
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: Montgomery that's a running back his clear indication here that

234
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: he does not want a Lion's trade based on his post.

235
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: He hadn't posted in like a couple of years. So

236
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: how does that shift the arithmetic to you? All right,

237
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: So Montgomery, what he did here is he threw a

238
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: massive wrench into the best laid plans of Lions and

239
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: men right here. It makes it uncomfortable. I don't know

240
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: if I want to go as far as say, incredibly uncomfortable.

241
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: But it's uncomfortable for the Lions because hey, this all

242
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: mapped out, all right, we'll blame the cap win in doubt,

243
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: blame the cap. Dumb people believe that we'll just say

244
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: that we'll get rid of every player, so we'll have

245
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: all the cap space. We'll have no players left. That's

246
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: the way to do it, all right. Anyway, So this

247
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: has I jotted down on my my scorecard MD as

248
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: in messy divorce, as in messy divorce written all over.

249
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: The Lions were trying to control the narrative, and they

250
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: almost got away with it if it wasn't for that

251
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: meddling social media. They wanted to make it seem like

252
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: Montgomery was on board with exiting Detroit, and he was

253
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: the one who wanted to enter the NFL's transfer portal

254
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: so they could look like the good guys. Oh, we

255
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: didn't want to get rid of him, but he didn't

256
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: want to be here, so we had to get rid

257
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: of him and all that and yeah, and David Montgomery

258
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: essentially said, yeah, I'm good here, No thanks, I'm good

259
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: right here. I don't want to go anywhereless, which is

260
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: very odd. Someone wants to play for the Lions. Normally,

261
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: my entire life, most of the time people wanted to

262
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: run away from the Detroit Lions. So think of it

263
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: like this. It's a table read and Montgomery's sitting down

264
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: at the table read and he's not following the script.

265
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Bad job by him, right, the lines just follow the

266
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: script now, Jamiir Gibbs. To be completely clear, I think

267
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: you know this. You don't need me to tell you,

268
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: but Jamiir Gibbs has zoom passed zoom passed David Montgomery

269
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: in terms of his impact. Gibbs is the center square

270
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: of that offense, the tic tac toeh. He's the impact guy.

271
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: He's the home run hitter and all that stuff. Montgomery

272
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: more like a Douce Staley from back in the day

273
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: or Joe Mixon, that type of running back. Solid, not

274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: a bad player. Use the word gritty, not the mascot

275
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: from the Flyers, but the word gritty. And it's not

276
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: like he's irreplaceable. He's not. He's not irreplaceable. And you

277
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: see you flip him if you're The lines are like, oh,

278
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: we'll get rid of him'll get a late draft pick

279
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: and we'll grab a younger person at half the price,

280
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: and we'll save some money. And so but then he

281
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: dug his I guess he had some heels. He dug

282
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: his heels in and said, I'm not down with that.

283
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: So we'll see where this goes. But Montgomery is currently

284
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: weaponizing the fanboys and the bots in the matrix to

285
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 2: put pressure on the lines to keep him. That will

286
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: likely not work, but the effort is being made. It

287
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to

367
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: it we go, and we begin this hour with that

368
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys win. In doubt, throw the Cowboys out because

369
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are good for business in these parts, and

370
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: so that is what we're going to do. And there's

371
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: one storyline that is bigger than all the other storylines

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: with the Dallas Cowboys and involves a certain disgruntled wide receiver.

373
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: So if you haven't been following this story, the Cowboys

374
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: recently while we were away, placed the non exclusive franchise

375
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: tag on the back of George Pickens by George, which

376
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 2: means that if you would like to get your hands

377
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: on George Pickens, you can do that. You can negotiate

378
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: a contract with Pickens. However, you got to read the

379
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: fine print. However, the Cowboys would have a chance to

380
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: match any offer sheet that George Pickens agrees to, all right,

381
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: so if not, if not, then the team that signs

382
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: him would have to give the Cowboys not one, but

383
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: two first round draft picks as compensation. So that's the

384
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: deal on that. Now, if you've not been following the

385
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 2: nitty gritty on this, and perhaps not the state funded

386
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: NFL media saying that they do not expect they do

387
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: not expect George Pickens to sign the franchise tag anytime soon,

388
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: that he's going to drag this thing out, as is

389
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 2: normal protocol. You sign at the very last minute if

390
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: you're going to sign that at all, and that's how

391
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: this goes. You crank up the drama, O rama. Now

392
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: we hear the Pickens camps. We're going to try to

393
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: find a team, play the match game. Try to find

394
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: a team that is a match for George Pickens on

395
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: a long term contract, and then it will be up

396
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: to the Cowboys whether or not they want Pickens to

397
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: actually leave or not, and how desperate they are to

398
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: keep George Pickens. So that is a good jumping off point.

399
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question is how could George Pickens

400
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: crowbar his way out of Jerry's world? How does he

401
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: get out of Dallas? How does he get out of

402
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: the Cowboy locker room? So my observations. I got fruit

403
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: of the loom, whole foods, and hunger games, and we

404
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together, and we are

405
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: going to eat our own dog food, is what we're

406
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: going to do. You know, that's an old old business saying,

407
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: you gotta eat your own dog food. You got to

408
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 2: consume your own product and all that, and a lot

409
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: of people don't do that anymore. We do consume our

410
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: own dog food, though, we do. We do on the show.

411
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: So number one, so don't let the franchise tag hornswaggle.

412
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: You do not allow the franchise tag to commit skullduggery

413
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 2: because it's not handcuffs. It is this idea. It's a

414
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: handcuff situation. It's not handcuffs. It is like a suggestion

415
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: box that is decorated and wrapped in barbed wire. That's

416
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: what it is. So the playbook for the Great Escape

417
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: get very dramatic. The Great Escape from Jerry's world. You

418
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: start by poking the bear. You must poke the bear,

419
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: you know it. You raise a hullabaloo. You gotta raise

420
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: a hullabaloo. You become the mosquito that is buzzing around

421
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones while he's sitting on those tremendously expensive Egyptian

422
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: sheets that he sleeps on there at three in the morning,

423
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: and you just bother him. And we've seen this before.

424
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 2: It's a common movie. It's a common movie. Here, Michaeh

425
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: Parsons he did something similar. He stopped his feet. He

426
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: had a conniption fit. He'd set just a little bit

427
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: bang the drama and all that, and suddenly Jerry flinched

428
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: and traded his ass to Siberia to go play for

429
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, the Holy Land of the Cheese Curd,

430
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: and that was that. But Jerry for a long times,

431
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: oh now we're gonna keep Michah Parsons, We're not gonna

432
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: trade him, And then he did, so we know that

433
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: for Jerry, chaos is really good. It's really really good.

434
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: They have enough if they were to get rid of

435
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: George Pickens. They already have in Ceedee Lamb, a top

436
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: level wide receiver, so they can get somebody else in

437
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: there to play wide receiver. But Pickins has to be

438
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: willing to play the game. You gotta play the game

439
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: if you really want to get I would love the

440
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: franchise tag if the company I work for wants to

441
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: give me one year of cowhard money. I'd be very

442
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: happy at that. I would not complain, I wouldn't demand

443
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: a trade. I would take that and have a cheshire

444
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: cat smile to these guys, these NFL players, they bitch

445
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: so much about to sell the franchise tag. It's such

446
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: a such a hardship for these guys. It's so sad.

447
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: It really is just like working in a sweatshop having

448
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: to make the average of the last five years of

449
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: players at your position or whatever it is, and in

450
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: what the formula is. It's really difficult. I don't know

451
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: how these guys sleep at night being franchise tag. My god.

452
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: So anyway, George Pickens here, he's got, as you said,

453
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: play the game. Send out some cryptic Instagram stories, you know,

454
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: send out some stuff of you wearing different uniforms. That's

455
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: always good this time of the year. Right, Oh yeah,

456
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: here's a here's George Pickens wearing Oh look at it?

457
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: Is that a? Is that a Raiders? J Oh? He's

458
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: wearing a Raiders? Or is he wants to play? For

459
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: the thirds? The social media posts that have the freemi

460
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: vibes of them? You know what I'm talking about yeah. So,

461
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: and then you can go just full. If you really

462
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: want to upset youry Jones, you go full what I

463
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: call food of the loom. You know those T shirts.

464
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't thin they're like this anymore, but the used

465
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 2: to make those T shirts that had the label. They'd

466
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: the tag on the back and it would poke and

467
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: kind of tickle you while you wore the shirt. It

468
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: was very annoying. So you gotta do that. You gotta

469
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: be annoying. You gotta poke and annoy Jerry Jones and

470
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: make it uncomfortable, make it loud and messy, and Jerry

471
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: will enjoy that for a while, and then at some

472
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: point he will no longer enjoy it. And that's the

473
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: point of demarcation. That is the point of demarcation there,

474
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: and as far as the window shopping, you're free to

475
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: roam around the NFL. Try to work out a deal.

476
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 2: You got to go to Buffalo first. Now, nobody really

477
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: wants to live in Buffalo if they have a choice,

478
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: but that's the team. You go in there as the

479
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: number one option at wide receiver. They don't have a

480
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: number they don't have a number two receiver in Buffalo.

481
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: You go in there get paid a ton of money.

482
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 2: You got a top level quarterback, you're good to go.

483
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: You're good to go. Patriots, they made the Super Bowl.

484
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: They don't have an assassin at wide receiver. Go to

485
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: New England. Now I mentioned the Raiders. They're starving for

486
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: anything relevant. If the Raiders were a show on Vegas

487
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: on the strip, they'd be canceled because they're terrible. Then

488
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: you got teams like the Titans who suck that need help,

489
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: the Ravens who have a star quarterback that need a

490
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: big time wide receiver. So George Pickens is the shiny

491
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: toy that price who cares about draft picks? I would

492
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: trade all of my draft picks. I don't give an

493
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 2: f about draft picks. Now. Meanwhile, to Indianapolis we go.

494
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: The scouting Combine is oh vat ere, it's all over

495
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: the How are we gonna go on with our lives?

496
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: All those nugs, all the nuggets all week, every day,

497
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand stories popping out of the scouting Combine with

498
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: its corporate sponsor there in Indianapolis, all those NFL people

499
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: running up expense accounts at the two or three high

500
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: end restaurants in downtown Indianapolis, so the combine is over,

501
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: another year is in the books. Another one bites the dust,

502
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: another one bites the dust. So I don't know how

503
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: much you consumed of the combine. I very little, very

504
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: little I had. I will admit I had it on

505
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: in the background. I think it was Thursday. I think

506
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 2: it was Thursday. I had it on the background. I

507
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: did not really pay attention to it, so that that's it.

508
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: And I did monitor some of the names that are

509
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: being hyped up, for example, if you did not partake

510
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL Scouting combine consuming it. From what I understand,

511
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: I could be completely wrong about this, but from what

512
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: I understand, the two studs that got the most buzz

513
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: are notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love. That's the name

514
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: of a star. JEREMYA.

515
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 4: Love.

516
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: That's a star's name. You better not suck when your

517
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: named Jeremiah Love. That's a big time name, the Golden Domer.

518
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: And then you've got Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, who

519
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: Jeff Caldwell, who had scouts drooling at the combine. You

520
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: might want to see a doctor, all right, So let's

521
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: discuss this the question, what are your takeaways from the

522
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: nuggets that came out of the scouting combine. What are

523
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: the big takeaways on this? So the annual Underwear Olympics,

524
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: the closing ceremonies, which includes something with Rich Eisen who

525
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: used to work here back in the day. But the

526
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: whole thing has been commandeered, and in the last fifteen years.

527
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: This is not new, this is not a fresh take,

528
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: but the last fifteen years, this thing has been commandeered.

529
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: It's a marketing junket. It's a marketing juncket. They roll

530
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: out the runway. You got the red carpet. They shine

531
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: the spotlight on the players that are entering the NFL

532
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: and they parade them out. It's like fashion week in Perie.

533
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: It's fashion week, and you know they're wearing not shoulder pads,

534
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: They're wearing spandex. But that's it. That's what they did.

535
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: They got bright colored cleats on, they shoes, the whole

536
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: thing and they run around and they shake it. Took us.

537
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: That's how they do it, right there, boom on fashion week.

538
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: NFL's fashion Week. The NFL executives poking prad. They bring

539
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: in their trainers and their doctors and they get all

540
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: the measurements and then the wingspans, and it's kind of

541
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: like going to Whole Foods and buying a catalope. They're

542
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: measuring it like it's a cantilope at Whole Foods, except

543
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: their human beings. And so Jeremiah Love and this guy

544
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: Jeff Calwell, who I've never heard of. They won the

545
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: Weekend allegedly from what I read. Maybe I read it wrong,

546
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: but they won the Weekend. They look like Marvel superheroes,

547
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 2: so I'm sure they do Mazeltov. They look great. And

548
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: it's the NFL going full Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood, Hooray

549
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: for Hollywood. It's Warner Brothers with the forty yard dash,

550
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: is what it is. And the draft is at this point,

551
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: and it's been this way as long as the draftsman

552
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: and I try to add some sexy women and they

553
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: add some fireworks, and everyone's got a sob story and

554
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: the draft. You know, they all came from bad parts

555
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: of town. They all had no money. It's if anybody

556
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: is drafted who has a lot of money, they're shamed.

557
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? Anyway? The point of all this

558
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: is the NFL Draft is when you break it down

559
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: to its essence and you go back to Bedrock. It's

560
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: old dudes reading names off a card. That's what the

561
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: NFL draft is. There's nothing exciting about it. Nothing. Let's

562
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: just have somebody walk up to a podium and read names.

563
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all. Now they can add fog machines.

564
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: They've tried that, hype videos, you know, the whole thing.

565
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: And this is important. You gotta start pumping up. This

566
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: is the biggest event of the offseason. You got to

567
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: pump up these players. Send out the press, release the

568
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: hype videos, the dramatic piano music in the background. You

569
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: gotta have that. He's built like you know, that old thing.

570
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's the It might as well be

571
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: produced by the people of that Tutsi role who make

572
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: that fluffy stuff cott in candy with the throw some

573
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: lollipops in there, some Tutsi pops. You're good to go.

574
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: Here's the reality check. Though nobody knows anything. Nobody knows

575
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: anything when it comes to the NFL Draft. It is

576
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 2: a spin of the roulette wheel. You draft because somebody

577
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: looks like the incredible Hulk. They've got the measurables that

578
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: you like, and that don't guarantee anything. You're not gonna

579
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: be a superstar because you have the measurables. And as

580
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: the old line goes from back in the day, you

581
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: can have the body of Tarzan. But if you don't

582
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: play like Tarzan, if you play like yeah, it's not well,

583
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: it's not well. There you go, play like Jane. So

584
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: you don't know. What you don't know is the point

585
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: of all this. And you don't know what you got

586
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: until you open the box. What's in the box, you

587
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: don't know. Sometimes it's a franchise level player and sometimes

588
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: it's a honeysuckle turkey. We cuss both ways, all right, Now,

589
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: final point. As the event of twenty twenty six came

590
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: to an end, I did notice the chatter that there

591
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: are many NFL staffers who think they're on thin ice.

592
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: Now why is that? Well a popular topic by popular people.

593
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: The scouting combine artificial intelligence, Oh no, yes, and that

594
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: it is spreading like a fungus. Not the fungus hut,

595
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: but it's spreading like a fungus. There and the question

596
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: whether or not AI, not Alan Irison, but AI will

597
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: knock jobs for scouts, there'll be fewer scouts and there'll

598
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: be less coaching jobs. And that's that because of AI

599
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 2: and the many of the jobs that are currently done,

600
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: the low level jobs in the NFL are jobs that

601
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: could easily be replaced with AI and would be more accurate.

602
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: And so this is the concern that you have with

603
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: people who work in the NFL who are trying to

604
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 2: make their way up the ladder, that the ladder will

605
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 2: be chopped down and they're gonna fall down. So let

606
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: us discuss this the question on this one. How do

607
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 2: you see this AI takeover of the NFL working out?

608
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: All right? So my first thought is, I absolutely love

609
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: this story. Now, yeah, you hate in my job. Eventually

610
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: we'll go there'll be AI here. I'll lose my job

611
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: to AI. I'm convinced of that at some point. I

612
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: believe that to be true. That said this, having covered

613
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: the NFL for years back when they had those fat

614
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: guys that used to play that smoked cigars and wore

615
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: Hawaiian shirts, and they were the scouts with the radar

616
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: guns and all that and the stop watches like that crowd.

617
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: They got replaced. Almost all of those guys got replaced

618
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: by the Ivy League crowd, the analytical crowd came in,

619
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: they flooded the league with spreadsheets, and now they're the

620
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: ones that are now in danger of getting eaten by

621
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: their own creation. How great is that? The irony is

622
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: just outstanding. So the same analytical crew that took the

623
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: NFL by storm, those nerds that flooded the NFL with

624
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: all this stuff, they built this monster in the lab

625
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: where you put in all the numbers and all that stuff,

626
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: and now they're in danger of being escorted out of

627
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: the building with one cardboard box with all their stuff

628
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: in it. I've made that walk, by the way. It's

629
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: not a fun walk. It's not a fun walk. I've

630
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: made that walk before. But they sold everyone on process

631
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: over people. This was the argument. I say, process was

632
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: more important than people. We don't care about the human beings.

633
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 2: It's all about the process. Okay, great, wonderful. Well oh yeah, yeah,

634
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: Now the process is starting to replace the people. It's

635
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: the corporate hunger games, the corporate hunger games of the NFL.

636
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: And may the odds be ever in your favor, Chad

637
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: from Cornell or Mike from Harvard or Steve from Yale

638
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: or whoever, good luck on that right. And eventually it

639
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: doesn't happen right away. I know in radio it happens

640
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: right away. But in other businesses, the NFL's got a

641
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: lot of money, so they can afford to have no

642
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: show jobs, which these jobs pretty much are no show

643
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: jobs and all that stuff. HECTA, the Vikings GM who

644
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: just got let go, was supposedly drafting players based on

645
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus or whatever it was, and that was

646
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: who he was drafting based on what they recommended, rather

647
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: than actually doing any scouting, which is essentially what this

648
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: would be. Like. AI says to draft this guy. Okay,

649
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: it says, we'll draft that guy because that's what AI said.

650
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 2: And then if anybody questions it, you say, well, the

651
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: AI said to draft it, so just blame AI. Okay,

652
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: change AI's They okay, we'll change AI's. They just do

653
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: it whatever they're told. So, but the cost cutting does

654
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: eventually happen. It happens in every business, and it's it's

655
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: like they payroll. Slash and burn would be what this is.

656
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: And there's so many more coaches now than there used

657
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: to be in all of these sports, so many more

658
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: now you can trim the fat away and the little

659
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: slash and burn situation get rid of some of these guys.

660
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: And that's corporate America. One O, one man. That's I've

661
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: worked at big corporations for my entire adult life and

662
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: that's how they operate. But if the robot can right

663
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: the Scouty report, then why have the scout right? If

664
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: the robot if AI can do what the nerds can do,

665
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: but they can do it quicker and they can do

666
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: it better, then what's the point. So my point is

667
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: my thing is this, Like AI is a fine tool.

668
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not against it. The problem is when

669
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: you start running these things like it's a Madden franchise,

670
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 2: you're just setting it up in franchise mode and that's

671
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 2: that and all. And the problem is that, And then

672
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 2: it's like they try to make this like a science fair,

673
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: which is also not great. It's like a science fair.

674
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: It should be a bar fight, not a science fair.

675
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: As far as I can, the NFL is concerned there.

676
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: And AI can measure the wingspan, they can do that.

677
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: They can say, well, how many jumping jacks can this

678
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: guy do? Okay, he can do that many. That sounds good.

679
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: Can this guy do the old flip? I don't know

680
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: if he can do the flip. Let's find out. We'll

681
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: ask AI and all that, but it cannot measure. This

682
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: is the thing AI cannot measure and will never be

683
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: able to measure, is whether or not player X has

684
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: any guts or he has that. And you can't measure

685
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: who's going to panic in front of seventy five thousand

686
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: people on a Sunday night in the fourth quarter because

687
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: they have tight Tukas syndrome. There's no AI program that

688
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: will tell you that is going to happen, right, but

689
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 2: it does happen, and oftentimes you find that information out

690
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 2: by the scouting community. So it's it's like a chainsaw.

691
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: Think aboutize. It's like a chainsaw, which is useful until

692
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: you forget it's you know, it's sharp, and then you

693
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 2: can get hurt by it. You know you can get

694
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: hurt by all Right, is the Ban Mahler Show. If

Speaker 2: situation and what's gonna happen with him in Pittsburgh. Also

704
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 2: the thing. An NFL star was told to avoid the thing.

705
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: An NFL star his father said, you've got to avoid

706
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: this at all costs, and the person has so far

707
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 2: not avoided that thing and has become a star in

708
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 2: the NFL. We'll get to all that and we will

745
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: You can do this, Brandon, we can do this, and

746
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 2: let's do it fromer.

747
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 5: Arkansas quarterback Taylor Green had a store combine over the weekend.

748
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 4: He shattered some records.

749
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: Ben.

750
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: Do you think this will help him climb up draft boards?

751
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: No, because it's it's not you know, he wasn't that

752
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: great at Arkansas. And if he's it's the underwear Olympics, right,

753
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 2: It's not the skills necessarily that matter to dominate at quarterbacks.

754
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go no, It's nice that you did all

755
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: that stuff, but as a quarterback doesn't matter that much.

756
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 4: Next, Ty Simpson was a one year starter at Alabama.

757
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 5: Rather than accepting offers to transfer to another school, he

758
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 5: decided to enter the draft.

759
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 4: Ben, how do you feel about Simpson's pro prospects?

760
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: Blah, I don't think he was that great. I mean,

761
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: he's fine. I think he should be a mid round

762
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 2: draft pick. They're talking about him being drafted in the

763
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: first round. I think that would be that would be

764
