And we're back at 26 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: it again, back in in the saddle again and know 27 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: what a story it is our lead this hour from Gotham, 28 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: a follow up follow up to a previous Malard monologue. 29 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: After winning the universally agreed upon Fugasey NBA Cup the 30 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: other day, the New York Knickerbockers shocked the basketball world 31 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: in a good way. Did you hear what they did? 32 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: Did you know? You didn't see it? Okay, you didn't 33 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: see this. So after a brief deliberation the New York Dings, 34 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: even though coach Mike Brown was pumping his chest out 35 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: about how they were gonna put a little banner up 36 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: there at the garden, the Knicks decided X nay on 37 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: the banner. A no, no, no, no no. They they 38 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: blocked it like more Tomball back in the day. The 39 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: next decided they will not raise a painter at Madison 40 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: Square Garden to commemorate the NBA Cup championship. Now, keep 41 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: in mind the Lakers. The Bucks did this, they hung 42 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: actual banners for the NBA Cup, and it took the 43 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: Knicks to say no, Wow. Is that a great jumping 44 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: off point? So let us discuss the question for the class, 45 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: and you're part of the class. What is the word? 46 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: What is the word for the Knicks rejecting the NBA's 47 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: request to hang a cup banner at Madison Square Garden. 48 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: So I've got my thoughts on this. I've got AirPods, 49 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: banana cream pie, and Instagram filters, and we'll combine all 50 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make 51 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: some delicious cinnamon rolls. I don't know anyone that doesn't 52 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: like cinnam rolls. If you ever meet someone that doesn't 53 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: like cinnamon rolls, bad people, bad people, all right? So 54 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: a my word again, the question was, what's the word 55 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: for the Knicks rejecting the NBA's request to hang a 56 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: cup banner? My word is gravitas. That's my word. Good 57 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: job by James Dolan, the mercenary ooder of the New 58 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: York Knicks. James Dolan, credit to him, He's the adult 59 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: in the room. He didn't bite the cheese, he didn't 60 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: do it. I get the Lakers in Bucks hung banners 61 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: for the NBA Cup, And you know, dumb that that's 62 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: like going to Augusta and winning the par three contest 63 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, can I have one of those green jackets? Well, 64 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: well no, that's not that's not the Masters. But I 65 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: won the par three I know, but that's we don't 66 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: do the par three. We don't give out the green jacketman. 67 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I want a green jacket. I needed. No, 68 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: you don't get a green jacket. It's a par three, 69 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: but nobody I deserve one. No, you don't, dummy. If 70 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: you go out win the Augusta Masters, will give you 71 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: a green jake. But no, I want to have one. 72 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: I want my I want my green jacket. Or how 73 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: about like if Duke won the Maui Invitational and said, 74 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we hang a championship banner 75 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: up there? And you're all those coach k championships and 76 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: all that right there at Cameron Indoor. No, No, have 77 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: some have some shame, right uh? And Massive Square Garden 78 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: is not your little scrap book. Now. They don't win 79 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: a lot there. They don't win a lot, but they 80 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: take a lot of those wall street. Weasels money. They 81 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: buy those tickets, right, all those fortune five hundred dopes, 82 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: they buy those tickets. The Cathedral there, the Mecca in 83 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan, right over Penn Station there. And so saying 84 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: no to this banner for the Knicks two words dragon balls, 85 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: all right, dragon balls. That the air pods are playing 86 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: rage against the machine, fight the machine. It's a beautiful world. 87 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: And this tells you everything about where the Knicks think 88 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: they're going now. They like they won't win the championship. 89 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: They think they're going to win the championship. They have 90 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: bigger goals on their mind, right, and they want something 91 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: a little bigger than that no aluminum foil trophy. It's 92 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: so great, and it's good for Jaialen Brunson. You know, 93 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: you don't want to be the nick that raised that 94 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: stupid I mean, it's so dumb. You're not there to 95 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: collect little trinkets and all that stuff. You're chasing some 96 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: kind of history. And so there will be a muted 97 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: their quiet celebration. You celebrate quietly, and you win loudly. 98 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: And so the malor verdict on this one that is 99 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: adult behavior. Good job, buy the Knicks. And it's also 100 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: Ton because page two, as we take a deeper dive, 101 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: and we dive a little bit deeper, here the question 102 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: who's the biggest loser? Who's the biggest loser from the 103 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: Knicks and their owner James Dolan, their stiff arming the 104 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: NBA Cup banner at MSG so spoiler alert, spoiler alert, 105 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: it is not Adam Silver, half man, half alien, who 106 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: he and his lizard people friends live out in the 107 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: ocean somewhere. But it's not Adam Silver. I know that 108 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: this is Adam Silver's pride and joy. This is his baby, 109 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: it's his little baby. It's his Frankenstein monster that he's 110 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: stitched together, ripping off global soccer, not realizing that that 111 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: doesn't play in the US of A. I'm pretty sure 112 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: that Adam Silver will live. He'll probably live forever because 113 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: he's half man, half alien. The real casualty in this 114 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Genie Buss, the outgoing Laker owner. Remember the strategic leak 115 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: from the Lakers a couple of years ago, Well, yeah, 116 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: they put out there in the cosmos and they use 117 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: whispers to useful idiots, and there's a lot of useful 118 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: idiot that love the Lakers. They slobber all over the 119 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: Lakers man. They love those historians. So the useful idiots 120 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: in the media they repeated the company line from the Lakers, 121 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: as we understand it, and the company line was something 122 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: to the effect is we we had no choice. The 123 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: league made us do it. The League made us do it. 124 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: Well well well, well, well well well looky LOOKI here 125 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: can we cue the price is right? Loser horn loser 126 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 1: with the capital L. Turns out that that reporting, which 127 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: more likely than not came from the Lakers, was bullpucky, 128 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: just absolute bullpucky. Jason proves, because you see James Dolan, 129 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: he just proved beyond a reasonable doubt. We have actual data, 130 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: actual evidence here, empirical evidence that you don't have to 131 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: put the bann up. Those are optional. These banners are optional. 132 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: And the nick said, now we're good, don't need that. Meanwhile, 133 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: the Lakers hung a certificate of participation like it was 134 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: some kind of purple heart, which is not surprising because 135 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: that's really the Lakers are in such a deep dark place, 136 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: a broken franchise. They celebrate that. You talk about the 137 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: most ridiculous championship, that COVID bull crap at the Mickey 138 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: Mouse Resort, the easiest championship ever in the history of sports. 139 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: And they hung that up, and so of course they're 140 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: going to hang up the dumb NBA Cup thing. And 141 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: then of course that people called them on. I said, well, no, 142 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: you've got actual championships. Back a year and years ago 143 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: when Jerry Busk, you know, was hanging out with all 144 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: young women, you had that, and so what are you doing? 145 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: And as well, we had to do it, and we 146 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: hang we had no true, no, you had a choice. 147 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: You have you had a choice. You had a choice 148 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: the Knicks. The Knicks said, no, this is a banana 149 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: cream pie, right to the face, right to the face 150 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: there of Jeanie Buss and the Lakers. And if you 151 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: use Malormath, ninety nine percent of the people that consume 152 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: the product, they view the NBA Cup as meaningless. I 153 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: don't know anyone. I've not met a single person who's 154 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: real who thinks that's worth their time. I just haven't. 155 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: It's a marketing gimmick. Adults know that. Smart people, though 156 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: you put the corporate name in front of it. It's 157 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: like a freak tote bag you never use. You sign 158 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: up for some credit card, they give you a tote bag. 159 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: You don't really use it, but you're like, it's free, 160 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: I'll take it. Why not? So what the Lakers do? 161 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: They took what we were all told its sacred real 162 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: estate right the hallowed rafters where the ghosts hangout, and 163 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: they slapped a turn Burger right next to the work 164 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: of magic and Kareem and Kobe Bryant. They didn't honor 165 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: their history. They spat a giant logi, a big fat 166 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: mucus phil logai from Jennie Buss because they put that 167 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: little Cup champion Chip Hoop and the Knicks of all people, 168 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: the New York Knicks, who haven't won bupkiss in over 169 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: fifty years, and they said, no, no, no, we're we're 170 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: grown ups. We're adults here. We don't do that. What 171 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: are we doing here? It's so great, So congratulations by 172 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: not even playing in the NBA Cup. The Lakers are 173 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: the laughing stock of the NBA. Everyone pointing their finger 174 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: like Nelson from The Simpsons and going haha, so great? 175 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: Oh is that good man? I love that? All right. Meanwhile, 176 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: let's get back to business here the NFL. There's a 177 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: story that's gone viral here from a documentary that has 178 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: people buzzing. So I would like to address the snuffleovcus. 179 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: In the room. 180 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: We go to the Beltway where the Commanders are a 181 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: bad football team vanishing into the abyss or the swamp 182 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: in DC. They have been struggling on and on and 183 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: on and on back to the old Commanders. These are 184 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: Dan Snyder's commanders this year, the Redskins or whatever. But anyway, 185 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: I bring this up because head coach head coach Dan Quinn. 186 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn told his players in a video clip that 187 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: has gone viral from this documentary. He went full tilt 188 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: buggy buggy boggie, he did the boogie woogie, and he 189 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: told his players that Giants quarterback Jackson Dart is basically 190 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: a running back at that well, no, he's a quarterback, no. 191 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 4: No. 192 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,239 Speaker 1: Quinn said that Dart does not go out of bounds 193 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: and that the players on his team should take shots 194 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: at him because he doesn't give up, but he doesn't 195 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: run out of bounds. So this is all from an 196 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: NFL film's documentary. The people, I believe it, HBO and 197 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks Hard Knocks got together and so they produced this. 198 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: It's in season with the NFC. East is the name 199 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: of the documentary. Now, the money quote again from dan 200 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Quinn is he is a running back first. He is 201 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: a running back first. Oh my god, I can't believe 202 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: he said that. The faux outrage machine was activated. So 203 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: the question do you have a problem do you have 204 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: a problem with Washington coach Dan Quinn tagging the Giants 205 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback Jackson Dart out of Old miss as a 206 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: running back as a running back first? Anyway? All right, 207 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: so I'll go, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. N 208 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: and O put those together. I'll go. No, I don't 209 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: have a problem. I think this is actually pretty wonderful. Again, 210 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: as we like to say, I am a talk show host. 211 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I have a daily talk show to do, and so 212 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: when you have these moments where you get the naked truth, 213 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: you embrace it. This would be one of those moments. 214 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: It's in the raw. I love it, no Instagram filter. 215 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: I will tell you that somewhat in NFL films will 216 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: be getting a call from the league office saying what 217 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: the effort you're doing. They'll be complaints filed by the commanders. 218 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: You're making us look bad. But we just put the 219 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: video up on what your coach said but yeah, that 220 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be for public consumption. Which is surprising 221 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: this got out because typically these things are so edited 222 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: and so filtered that you rarely ever see anything that 223 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: could be even low on the spectrum of going viral. 224 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: They really do just cover everything in terms of putting 225 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: a nice coat of cologne on it so it doesn't 226 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: get out. And here we have this coach of the 227 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders saying, hey, yeah, Jackson Dart, he's a running 228 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: back first, and that's where we are on that. And 229 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind, this is not just the Commanders. While 230 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: the video said just the Commanders, the Commanders are not 231 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: the only team that feels this way. Dan Quinn just 232 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: spelled out the scouting report on Jackson Dart, which is 233 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: likely shared by the rest of the NFL. And so 234 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: now the ball is in Jackson's court to prove that 235 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: this is not the case, and to prove that he's 236 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: not just a running back playing quarterback, and to show 237 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: that he can throw the ball consistently. Now keep in mind, 238 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: I've been doing this job for a while. These claims 239 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: have always been made about running quarterbacks. Normally they are 240 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: weaponized by race baders. When you know it's a black quarterback. 241 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: Jackson starts a white guy. So I guess it's just 242 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: x's and o's and all that. So there's not quite 243 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: the big hull of baloo that there has been in 244 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: years past when this this thing comes up. But the NFL, 245 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: as a rule, NFL coaches when they see a quarterback 246 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: that runs, runs, runs, runs, runs, and they that's what 247 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: they say. He's a running back. He's not. He's not 248 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: a guy that hucks the ball. He's a running back. 249 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: You have to prove that you are more than just 250 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: a running quarterback and able in order to change the narrative. Right, 251 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: that's just you know, the dog eat dog world. That's 252 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: kind of how that works. It's kind of how that works. 253 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler 254 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 255 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 256 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: Hey Is Covino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio.

Told, 270 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's the Thursday night NFL game. 271 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: That game, though, taking a back seat to the subplot. 272 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: And as the Rams had their flight delayed, were supposed 273 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: to have I think Mike said prayer for the Rams. 274 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean they had set on a plane has some 275 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: mechanical issues that never happens when you travel it never 276 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: I've never had any issues traveling. Planes have always been 277 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: on time. I've never had to sit at airports and 278 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: wait for plants at all. Anyway, get to the point, 279 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: so the Rams are in Seattle now show down with 280 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks on Thursday night. They made headlines on the socials. Well, 281 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: I say they at one of their players did at 282 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: least Pooka Nakua guy came out of nowhere, and it's like, 283 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: did this guy dial the wrong number? Who's Pooka Nakua? 284 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: This guy's not that good? Well he is that good 285 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: ball of fire for the alrms and apparently a ball 286 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: of fire off the field as well as if you 287 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: have not heard yet and perhaps perhaps not rams wide 288 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: receiver Pooka taking aim at NFL officials, calling them the worst. 289 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: He did this all on camera. Now, was this on ESPN? 290 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: Was this on Fox? Was this on CBS or NBC 291 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: or Amazon? No? He did it on an internet stream 292 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: a couple of internet streamers no one's ever heard of. 293 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: They're like fake stars. Anyway, he went on a rant. 294 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: Do we have the rant? I think we might have 295 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: the rent. I don't know, let's see what we do. 296 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: The reps are the worst because there's just some of 297 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: the rules, aren't that. Like these guys want to be 298 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: These guys are lawyers and like real they want to 299 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: be on. 300 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: TV too, brother, like the game, you don't think he's 301 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: he's texting his friends in the group. 302 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: Chat, like yo, you guys just saw me Sunday night football? 303 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: Like that that wasn't p I like, but I called 304 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: it was seriously, did you do that? I mean, these 305 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: guys are noble human beings too, all right, So that 306 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: was that was most of it, if you could understand. 307 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: He see the rest of the worst. These guys are lawyers. 308 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: They want to be on TV too, Like Pooko was like, ah, 309 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: they're in group text and like, hey, you see me 310 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. All right. So one of the 311 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: hosts also mentioned that Pooka could be fine for saying 312 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: what he said, and very calmly, Puka Naku responded to 313 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So that is a good jumping off point. 314 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: This stuff's gone viral. So let's discuss the question rams 315 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver Puka Nicou going off the reservation calling NFL 316 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: referees the worst, saying that they make calls to be 317 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: seen on television. Can you unscramble this one as we 318 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: attempt to seize the hour to win the hour. So 319 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: my observations, I have CBS, neon highlighter, and shrimp cocktail, 320 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 321 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: we are going to be honor bound as we play 322 00:19:52,880 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: Connect three. That's what we're going to do. So Number said, 323 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: Number one. All right, So Puka Nakua did not break news. 324 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: He did not he broke the fourth wall, mom man 325 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: the fourth wall. He got all slobbery, slapper slapper slobbery, 326 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: calling NFL referees the worst. That is not some kind 327 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: of scandal. It is a confession. It is a trip 328 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: to the confessional booth. We're not talking about a modern 329 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: day Watergate here. It was human nature with a Wi 330 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: Fi signal. Right. Officials are people too. They're not gas pumps. 331 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: They're actual people. They have egos, they have friends, they 332 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: have text messages, they have social media, they're in group chats, 333 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: they have mirrors, and they have a deep desire to 334 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: be seen. Now a lot of them serve as mouthpieces 335 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: for the NFL. That's fine, but anyone pretending otherwise is 336 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: selling air fried food. Puka just said the quiet part 337 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: into a live stream, well chasing. See. The thing that's 338 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: interesting is not that he said this, it's the way 339 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: that he said it, trying to get some clout, some 340 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: cool points. It was like a like a puppy dog 341 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: chasing a laser pointer. And he was he wasn't auditing 342 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: the officiating. He was auditing or I guess Auditioning is 343 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: the word for the for the Internet. He wanted to 344 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: he wanted to be popular. He's clearly a major fanboy 345 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: for these I don't know who these two Jabroni's are, 346 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: but he's a big fanboy for these guys, these Internet streamers. 347 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: And you got an NFL star, a top level wide receiver, 348 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: one of the five top receivers in the NFL. Pookin 349 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Nakua trying to sit with the cool kids, and in 350 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: his mind, football players are not cool. He'd much rather 351 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: be a streamer. So he gets to sit down and 352 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: have a lunch date with these two guys, nodding along, 353 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: laughing out loud, hoping that he'll be accepted by these 354 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: two hopes. So it's so good. It wasn't really rebellion. 355 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: It was in doctrination into the matrix. Pooka such a 356 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: fan of these Internet streamers that he went down to 357 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: the local CBS pharmacy and he got his prescription and 358 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: swallowed the red pill. And the rabbit hole has been entered, 359 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: and wonder Land is unlocked for Pooka, and the Rams 360 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: knew about it. Sean McVay, the Ram head coach, crossed 361 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: his arms like a bouncer guarding bottle service as Pooka 362 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: attempted to bring the influencers into the RAM facility, and 363 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: McVeigh said, ix nay on the influencer a short week, 364 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: no content farm at the facility and football first. You 365 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: can chase clout later. So Puka Nakua said, Okay, you 366 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: don't want him there, I'll just go I'll go meet 367 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: him somewhere else. And Pookah's right though. Referees obviously they 368 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: loved the spotlight. And there's some referees you see on TV. 369 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: You know when they're doing a game, there's going to 370 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: be twelve to fifteen penalties in that game. Of course, 371 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: the argument has always been that you can buy the 372 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: letter of the law call the penalty on every play. 373 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: In the NFL, at least one person is effing up 374 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: on every play, So it becomes a case of do 375 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: you go by the spirital law or the letter of 376 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: the law. By the letter of the law, you can 377 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: tear up the dance floor and call penalties on every 378 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: play because somebody's holding, somebody's grabbing, someone's lined up the 379 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: wrong way. There's all those little the minutia of the 380 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: rule book where you can call penalties on everything. Now, 381 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: obviously you can't do that because the game will go 382 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: on forever. So there's this this yin and yang. There's 383 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: this nip and talk about how much do you call? 384 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: What do you do? It's like a game of tug 385 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: of war? How far do you go? And then, of 386 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: course the other argument is if the referees called no penalties, 387 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: they'd get in trouble, wouldn't they. Now if the NFL 388 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: officials said we're not, And there have been there have 389 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: been one. There was one game earlier this year where 390 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: there's hardly any penalties called and like nobody died. It 391 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: was everything was okay, life went on. There's this like 392 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: you have to be justified for your salary because they 393 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: get paid a lot of it's part time job, but 394 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: they get paid a lot of money. They get travel 395 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: expenses paid for and all that stuff. So it's it's 396 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: one of those it's like, well, okay, so you've got 397 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: to justify the amount of money that you're you're being 398 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: paid even though it's a part time gig, and so 399 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,959 Speaker 1: you have to call penalties and all that stuff. And uh, anyway, 400 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: the endgame on this, uh, well right now you can 401 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: get a fine, a tax deductible donation to an NFL 402 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: charity of your choice. And the refs do love the spotlight. 403 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: They just don't love being told told that, so they'll 404 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: be a fine now, Page two, continuing the Hour of Pooka, Puka, Puka, Pooka. 405 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: All right, so pin the tail on the Pooka. What's 406 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: the fallout from ram wide receiver Puka Nakua and his 407 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: referee ran Now we mentioned there'll be a donation, small 408 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: donation to NFL charities there attacked deductible. But this was 409 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: an Emmy winning performance that nobody asked for. Now, Yeah, 410 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: I have no problem with this kind of stuff I get. 411 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: I always say this. I put this qualifier that I 412 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: have a daily talk show to do every night I 413 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: come in here, and if everyone just did what they're 414 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: supposed to do, what fun would this job be? It 415 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't be any flight at all. So it's an Emmy 416 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: Award winning performance by Pooka as in mental error me 417 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: mental error unforced, self inflicted, self inflicted. It's kind of 418 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: like spiking the ball on first down? What are you doing? 419 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he didn't pull any punches here, 420 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: Pooka he ignored the Teddy Roosevelt rule book, talk softly, 421 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: carry a big stick. Instead, he grabbed a megaphone and 422 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: was tap dancing on top of a rake and said, 423 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: look at me, everybody, I'm the clown. Look at me. 424 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm gung Oh, here we go. I'm juggling. I'm juggling. 425 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm joggling, all right. So he obviously wanted again these 426 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: internet streamers love. He chased that streamer Poka Nakoa, and 427 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: he ended up spilling some tea to try to get 428 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: in the good graces with these two people I've never 429 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: heard of. And now now he has just put a 430 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: neon green highlighter on his jersey. Spotlight blazing, spotlight blazing, 431 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: big brother. The league office, they pay attention to this stuff, 432 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: the officials, you know, they heard about it. So Pooka's 433 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: tempting fate here. You just did the belly whopper into 434 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: the divil whiteout pool, the deep end of the Diva 435 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: whiteout pool. So no lifeguard on duty. Move on over, 436 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: old Dell Beckham. There's a new character actor in town, 437 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: and his name is Pooka. And now we love the player. 438 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: He's a great ballplayer, good game, all that stuff. We 439 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: love the quirks. He doesn't like vegetables. I don't like vegetables. 440 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: He doesn't even like fruit. I'm okay with most fruit, 441 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: but he didn't like fruit either. He's on the chuck 442 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: e cheese diet is what he's on there, or some 443 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: kind of Neanderthal diet. As for the fall out, we 444 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 1: mentioned the fine there. If Puka balls out in the 445 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: game here on Thursday night and the Rams win, this 446 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: story fades away. It fades into thin air. It's a 447 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: cute little sidebar. And that's that. If they lose, or 448 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: if Puka plays poorly and they win, it will be well, 449 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: he slapped the whammy. No whammy, no whammy, big money, 450 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: big money, and no whamy. Stop. Well, if they lose, 451 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: then it's like, well he put the whammy on the season, 452 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: and I will get wrong team, mark it down. I 453 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,239 Speaker 1: will guarantee you that that happened. Like they'll say, oh, 454 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: the Rams lost because of Puka going on a live stream, 455 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: which like ninety eight percent of football fans don't watch, 456 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and so it's not real crossover crowd the people that 457 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: have season tickets to NFL games and the people watching 458 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: internet streamers. But if it does happen to like the 459 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: jinx is applied. Season karma in a negative way has 460 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: been activated. I ready know. I'll tell you right now. 461 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: No Stradinas has those comments saved in his draft on 462 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: his X. He's got those ready to go. He's gonna 463 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: fire those off as soon as the game ends, as 464 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: he'll be like, okay, let's set time to jump through 465 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: the hoop here and try to bust malards balls. All right, 466 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: final point, We move away from Pooa and we head 467 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: to VVA Las Vegas. VVA Las Vegas. As we we 468 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: raised a mile a minute, we go to Vegas where 469 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: Geno Smith of the Raiders, who currently would have the 470 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: number one overallenho Gino Smith addressed the long standing chatter 471 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: that's been going on for a couple months now. Is 472 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: Gino actually going to be a one and done Raider? 473 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: His time with the Raiders has not gone very well. 474 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: He was asked about staying in Lost Wages, Nevada for 475 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: the duration of his contract, as the Raiders are the 476 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: worst team in football right now. He said, quote, he 477 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: is expecting to win a lot of games here. He said, 478 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm expecting to win a lot of games here. Close quote. 479 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: All right, So the question how do you evaluate Geno 480 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: Smiths status with the Raiders? All right? So here here's 481 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: how I would evaluate. This is a it's a storm. 482 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: It's stormy with a splash of shrimp cocktail, looks fancy, 483 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: smells fishy and risky, Gino. In Vegas, if there's anyone 484 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: there with a pulse, and who knows if there is 485 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: anyone with a pulse. The way the Raiders are being 486 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: run by Tom Brady, it doesn't look like there's anyone 487 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: there that knows what they're doing. Man the lifeboats. The 488 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: ship be sinking anyway. Gino, if you look at what 489 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: he's done here, you got to think that in Vegas, 490 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: this is the last supper before the buffet closes, and 491 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: certainly not the start of some kind of great dynasty. 492 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: This is not a charity. I believe it's not a charity. 493 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: The Raiders are not a mean the witness protection program 494 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks who ran out of runway, and so they'll 495 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: just pick up another suckbag quarterback and try to get 496 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle. We'll call it what it is. 497 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: Gino does not have not a leg to stand on. 498 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: He does not have a Pro football reference page or 499 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: a Wikipedia page to fall back on. Under any and 500 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean any reasonable measurement, Gino Smith stinks. He does 501 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: thirty third rand quarterback. You don't need the rankings. You 502 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: just watch the games. Just pay attention to the games. 503 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: If you're blind, just listen to the games. Gino Smith 504 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: is worse than a handful of quarterbacks who've already been benched. 505 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: They've already been demoted for malfeasan to a tongue of 506 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: eye loa more on him later. He was benched by 507 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, justin fields with the Jets, he's out. Spencer Rattler, 508 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: New Orleans got benched, Kyler Murray got benched, and they 509 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: all had better numbers than Geno Smith. So's it's like 510 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: finishing last in a race and you finished last and 511 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: half the field pulled hamstrings. Well, how did you finish 512 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 1: last when half the people just pulled It doesn't make 513 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: any sense. They pulled the hamstrings. This theme song is 514 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: from the trash Men. For Geno Smith, the bird is 515 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: the word. The bird is the word, and that's what 516 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: he did. He gave the raider fans the bird on 517 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: his way off the field. And that's the signature moment 518 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: of Geno Smith. If this was a Vegas residency, If 519 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: Geno Smith was a Vegas residency like Penn and Teller, 520 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: Carrott Top or something like that, they would have to 521 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,239 Speaker 1: offer refunds after day three. And let's give money back 522 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: day three. Here Gino got his shot and he was 523 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: the flavor of the week, and he fetched it all away. 524 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: The dew hickey did not work. And if this thing 525 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: goes sideways anymore, it's already gone sideways. Tom Brady should 526 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: go down to Low's. My advice, professional advice from overnight 527 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: Talk Radio. Tom Brady should go down to Low's in 528 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: a fever pitch and buy a giant gas powered leaf 529 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: blower and clean away all the leaves and all the 530 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: things around his house. There, loud and proud, with zero sentiment, 531 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: zero sentiment, and just go for it. Just go for it. 532 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: It's just such a bleeping mess. I just a bleeping mess. 533 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: And Tom Brady, he's seeking El Dorado with the raiders. 534 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure this thing out. I'm gonna find my 535 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: pot of gold and not the case. 536 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions The Ben Maler Show 537 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 2: weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm Pacific. 538 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: By the main time shifted to the third degree. Yeah, 539 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: this is one big ben gets grilled, all right, cool, I've. 540 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 4: Been this season seemingly more than other seasons. There have 541 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 4: been a lot of teams that have fallen way below 542 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 4: their high expectations. Which of those teams do you think 543 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: has been the biggest disappointment? 544 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: Well, I would say that the Baltimore Ravens, who are 545 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: looking like they're not going to make the playoffs. In 546 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City, those are the top two teams. Kansas City. 547 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: Everyone'sho or Kansas City. Kansas City can and they should 548 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. It's embarrassing they've fallen this far, 549 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: but they're not going to make the playoffs. But I 550 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: to me Baltimore because Kansas City a lot of people 551 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: expected them to have a falloff because they didn't really 552 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: improve the roster and some guys got old there. But Baltimore, 553 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: this was still supposed to be their window. And Lamar 554 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: Jackson misses practice all the time. He's not played very 555 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: well in these games. So I to me, Baltimore's got 556 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: to be high up there along with Kansas City. Neck 557 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: and Neck As a mono Abato if you, and with 558 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: a wink and a nod to the Detroit Lions that 559 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: have fallen off, they're no longer biting mee caps. 560 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 4: Next, a Warriors fan leaked an email between himself and 561 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 4: team owner Joe lacub where Lacomb admitted his frustrations with 562 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 4: the team and cited complications such as coaches desires regarding players. Now, 563 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 4: Steve Kerr was asked about this, and he said, it's 564 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 4: not a big deal. Is it a big deal? 565 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: Ben? Yeah, I don't think he's that big deal. I 566 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: saw this. I didn't I was gonna mention it in a monologue. 567 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that big a deal. I 568 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool that Joe lacob broke back. 569 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: He didn't really say much, I thought in the email, 570 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: but it does show you that he cares and he 571 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: is annoyed. He knows that the product's not good. You know, 572 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: a lot of the Warrior fans are having problems dealing 573 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: with the fact they're just they've fallen off. Alamedahlu and 574 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: those guys that love the Warriors. This is what happens. 575 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: It happens to all the teams that have great runs. 576 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: The The Lakers went through this, the Celtics when they've 577 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: had great teams, the Pistons, you're really good for a while, 578 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: and then you hold on to those veteran players and 579 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: it's you're not terrible, but you're not a legitimate championship team, 580 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: and you're stuck in this twilight zone. And obviously coaches 581 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: have favorite players. That's not a secret. Steve Kerr liked 582 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: certain kind of players, just like whoever your favorite coach does. 583 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: That's the way it works. Next. 584 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 4: Adam Silver said on Tuesday that the NBA will make 585 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 4: a decision on expansion in twenty twenty six, and he 586 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 4: specifically mentioned Las Vegas and Seattle, Ben do you think 587 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 4: both of those cities will get a team? 588 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: Well, so I heard from a little birdie. This was 589 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: several years back, Coop, that Seattle was definitely getting a 590 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: team and the plan was to go to Vegas. That 591 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: was in twenty nineteen. It's twenty twenty five. They had 592 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: Now the argument, the reason we have an ad expansion 593 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: is because we had the pandemic that delayed things, and 594 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: then the television contracts where now they're on Amazon and 595 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: NBC and all that, So that stuff's taken care of. 596 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: The problem is though, you got to cut up that 597 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: pie and the slices get a little bit smaller for 598 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers and the Timberwolves and the Rockets and all that. 599 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: But they're gonna have two teams, and you got to 600 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: bring back the Sonic name. They did it with the 601 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: Hornets and Charlotte. Bring back the SuperSonics and and have 602 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: a gambling name for the team in Vegas, having the 603 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: slot machines or something like that. And they're gonna lean 604 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: into the gambling. And why not. Chauncey Phillips led it. 605 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: He leaned into the gambling. All right there it is 606 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: Mallard of the third degree. 607 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 4: How did we do you pass this edition? 608 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: There's a win I want. 609 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 610 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: the nation.
