It was an all star 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: kind of a night. And I had said it was 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: not planning and not planning to watch the pro football 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: whatever that. 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: Was the thing they put out. Was not planning on 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: watching it. 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: However, the thing that I was watching, they had these 19 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: commercial breaks, and so what I did is I occasionally 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: would flip over. I would do the old flip flippity flip, 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: and I go over there and just to sample, just 22 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: to sample the product, just to sample what was going on. 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: So I thought we would start with that, right, We'd 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: start with that and kind of work our way through 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: the whole thing. As I don't know that you were watching. 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: I didn't watch most of it. Roger Goodell fighting for 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: your eyeballs as the NFL held what at one point 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: was a big deal. It was a point of pride. 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: But the NFL got so big and there's so much 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: money involved in the NFL, it doesn't matter anymore. The 31 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: players have quit on it, and that's what you get. 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: So they called the Pro Bowl. That's quite the name 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: for it. Might as well have been played in a 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Cereal Bowl and was played in San Francisco. So if 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: you didn't see it, we are told that the NFC 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: outscored the AFC thirty to eight in the second half 37 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: of this flag football game, and they came back and 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: won a very low scoring defensive battle sixty six to 39 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: fifty two. Is a defense does win championships and the 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. This's the all star All Star flag football 41 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Game now Cowboys. Cowboys wide receiver George slim Pickens was 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: named the game's offensive MVP, and he helped them come back. 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: For those that watch the game now, the event has 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: been universally mocked. It has been lampooned as a total 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: sham by those who dared consume the product many people 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: questioning how the NFL could put this product on that. 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: Somebody must have been asleep at the switch. It was 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: that bad of a program that the NFL put out there. 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: So that's a good jumping off point. 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question, do Roger Goodell and the 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: NFL big shots deserve. 52 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: To be mocked for the Pro Bowl or whatever that 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: thing was? 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: So I've got nuclear fallout, shelter, Olympic Gold, and Emmy Award, 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: we are going to make some delicious sourdough bread because 57 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people sour and they need some bread. 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: Put those things together will make some sour dough bread. 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: So a the answer is to the question, do Roger 60 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: Goodell in the NFL people deserve to be mocked for 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl? One thousand percent? Right, not one hundred 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: thousand percent. Poking and prodding is not just deserved, it 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: is mandatory. 64 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: It is you. 65 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Could not get more small time. Ricky Dink does not 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: begin to cover what this thing was. This was not 67 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, This is not an All Star game. 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: This was a yard sale with flags sanctioned by the 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: National Football League. Rubbers stamped by Roger the Dodger Goodell, 70 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: the same man who keeps telling us that the league 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: has never been healthier, that every thing is great, the 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: revenues are wonderful, the products, everything's just glory and great. 73 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: And sure if you measure a health by how quickly 74 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: the prestige continues the flat line. It's like, how low 75 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: can you go? I didn't think you could go that low. 76 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: We'll do limbo. Let's do the limbo. The Pro Bowl 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 3: at one point mattered. 78 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Now I realized times changed, right, and the NFL is 79 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: not a mom and pop shop anymore. It's big money, 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: and with big money come big problems. Players are spoiled, 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: they're entitled. They feel it's not worth their time because 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: they make. 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: So much money. 84 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: And now this is so great. So the reason, by 85 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: and again, I didn't watch most of it. I want 86 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: to be very clear. I did not why it's not 87 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: a product that I'm interested in. I didn't really resonate 88 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: with me so and I actually was at the Pro 89 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: Bowl back in Hawaii when it was legit, and even 90 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: then it was starting to go the wrong direction. Players complained. 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: When I covered the Pro Bowl in Hawaii a million 92 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: years ago the players complained that they had that there 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: were a lot of most of the teams on the 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: East and so they had to fly all the way 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: across the US and fly to Hawaii. You talk about hardship, 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: and that was a generation to go. The guys were 97 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: bitching about it back then, and now here we are 98 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: and you see what has happened. But this thing was held, 99 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not making this up for talk radio. This 100 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: thing was held in the basement of a convention center 101 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, a venue I would assume normally holds 102 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: boat shows, auto expos, doctors selling some kind of snake oil. 103 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: Maybe you can get a new nose or a butt 104 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: in plant or something like that. And that's where they 105 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: put the NFL's All Star Game. They couldn't kick, not 106 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: because they didn't want to kick. The roof was too 107 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: low to kick. This is like back when you play 108 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: out with your boys and you'll be like, let's go 109 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: play in the let's say little the weather's not great, 110 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: so let's play in the gym, and we can't throw 111 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: it too high because it'll hit the roof. They had 112 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: metal bleachers, but not many. It was like a high 113 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: school gym in fact, most high schools I've been to 114 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: have more seating then the NFL Pro Bowl had. 115 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: It's great. 116 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: It's like they got together at a restaurant somewhere in 117 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Maybe they went over to the Stinking Rose, 118 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: had some garlic, and they decided, let's make the rules 119 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: up here, and we'll just write them on a cocktail napkin, 120 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: and that'll be. 121 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: The rules of the Pro Bowl. 122 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: You juxtaposed that to what I was watching. Again, I 123 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: didn't watch much of the Pro Bowl. I flipped over 124 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: a couple times because I couldn't believe it. It was 125 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: like watching an eighteen car pile up on the interstate. 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: You go back and I'm like, wow, I can't believe 127 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: that happened. But you juxtapose that to the Westminster Kennell 128 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: Club Dog. 129 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: Show, which I watched. 130 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: I was on FS one my former colleagues some shows 131 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: back in the day with Chris Myers, part of the 132 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, and Chris was in a 133 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: tuxedo there and he had the play by play on 134 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: the dog show. They celebrated the one hundred and fiftieth 135 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: anniversary at Madison Square Garden. You had glitz, You had glamour, 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: you had tradition. It just felt big. It had standards. 137 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: The dogs. 138 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: The dogs ended up in the world's most famous arena, 139 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: the Mecca, right there, Midtown Manhattan. The Pro Bowl got 140 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: to be played in a nuclear fallout shelter. That's Roger 141 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: Tell's NFL. When a Doberman named Penny, who won the 142 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. When a Doberman named Penny 143 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: looks more big league than your star football players, heads 144 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: should roll in the NFL is so embarrassing, right, he 145 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: keeps saying everything's fine and all that. No, it's just 146 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: corporate spin. You got upstaged by a dog show. If 147 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: that is not a sign things are not going well 148 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: for your little ful gayzy All Star game, I don't 149 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: know what to tell you. You need a flea back. 150 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: A damn dog show was more big league than the 151 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. It is so great, all right now. Meanwhile, 152 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: turning the page prior to the Pro Bowl, Prior to 153 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. So the Browns quarterback Shouldur Sanders puffed 154 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: his chest out and he did an interview. So I 155 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: don't know his bunch of these podcast people and no 156 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: one's listened to him. But he did an interview to 157 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: discuss his rookie season, and Sanders said, the thing that 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: he quote appreciated about this year is that he proved 159 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: to himself and he showed, I guess the NFL that 160 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: he was able to dominate the league. Let me repeat 161 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: that for those of you a little slow that might 162 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: be in the back of the room not paying attention. 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: Shouldur Sanders said that the thing he appreciated about this 164 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: past year is that he proved to himself and he 165 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: showed that he was able to dominate the league. And that, kids, 166 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: is what we call the money quote. So meanwhile, you 167 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: had Todd Mounkin, the Monkman, saying that nothing has been 168 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: decided on the quarterback in Cleveland for the twenty twenty 169 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: six seasons. So the question what are your impressions of 170 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: the Browns shuder Sanders saying that he proved to himself 171 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: and he's capable of dominating the league and all that stuff. 172 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: And then you've got the new head coach, Todd munkin 173 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: the same day not naming a starting quarterback. So this 174 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: is a General Mills special. As yet again we are 175 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: reminded that the top breakfast cereal for Shuder Sanders is 176 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: cuckoo for cocoa puffs, all right, Shuldar Sanders after one 177 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl flag football game. 178 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 3: This was even before the game. 179 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: He was a replacement because seventy five other quarterbacks, we 180 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: ain't going to that thing you want to Why do 181 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: we want to go play in the basement? So a 182 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: replacement Pro Bowl quarterback says that he proved he can 183 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: dominate the NFL. 184 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: You know what that is. 185 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: That is slapstick comedy. It's a three stooges routine and 186 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: a poke in the eye. Sanders dominated one thing, one 187 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: thing last year, and that was social media. He also 188 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: was pretty good at holding the ball until he ended 189 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: up getting buried. His sack rate was astronomical with the Browns, 190 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: and remember sacks are a quarterback stat, not an offensive 191 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: line stat. He's below average it scrambling around and he 192 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: has a very little escapability. It's kind of like trying 193 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: to get out of a wet like a wet paper bag. 194 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: He could even escape from that. And it does not 195 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: have the elite elite arm, which we kind of knew. 196 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: That's why he was drafted later, however, because he completed 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: a ten yard slant in a T shirt and a 198 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: hat in a basement at the Pro Bowl. I guess 199 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: we're good now he's the next Mahomes so Hey, his 200 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: overcomes Shadura Sanders. Overconfidence needs a surgeon general's warning. 201 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 3: Is what it needs this particular way now. 202 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the coach Todd Mounkin is going for Olympic gold, 203 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: trying to win the gold in race walking as he 204 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: is slow walking to nowhere on the quarterback news and 205 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: he said, oh, we won't have a starter. He won't 206 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: name a starter. He's given everyone the run around in 207 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: an exhilarating race to mediocrity. And the factory of sadness 208 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: never fails. The factory of sadness never fails. 209 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: They just have to keep buying. 210 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: The clown makeup, the clown knows and the clown shoes. 211 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: The coaches and the players change, but the consistency of 212 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: the brand stays the same, and they just does all 213 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: right now the last word. We head back to the 214 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: New York tri state area where people buzz in here 215 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: very upset with John Harbaugh. Why are they upset with 216 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh? The former Ravens coach. Well, John Harbaugh was 217 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: hired with much fanfare to lead the Giants out of 218 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: the Abyss this offseason, and like everyone that comes to 219 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: New York, the fan base immediately planned a ticker tape 220 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: parade through the Canyon of Heroes. Unfortunately, they have to 221 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: go out and play the games. Well, the initially optimistic, 222 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: giddy New York Giant fan has decided that they're no 223 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: longer happy days around. 224 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: They're not happy. 225 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Why Why Because former Bears head coach and more recently 226 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offensive coordinator who had no active role in 227 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: anything because Andy Reid runs the show. 228 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: Matt Naggy was named the new OC. 229 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: That would be offensive coordinator for Big Blue after Todd Munkin. 230 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, he's now the Browns coach. He was 231 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: supposed to go to the Giants, but the Browns hired him. 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: Nobody else wanted him as a head coach, so Naggy 233 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: goes to the Giants. And this is also getting goofed 234 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: on around the NFL and people pointing fingers and doing 235 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: the full Nelson hah, everyone doubting that Nagy has the 236 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: skill set the ability to develop young quarterback Jackson Dart. 237 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: All right, so the question here is John Harbaugh guilty 238 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: of a football folly? 239 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: Hiring Matt Naggy. 240 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: To help Jackson dart and be the Giants offensive coordinator. 241 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: So I went to the Mallard scorecard. I went to 242 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: the Mallard scorecard on this, and on the Mallard scorecard, 243 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: this does not get an A or a B or 244 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: a C. However, it does not get a D or 245 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: an F. On the Mallard scorecard, I wrote down, you 246 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: you you, that's a three U move meaning unimaginative, uninspired, 247 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: and unoriginal, painfully unoriginal complete. 248 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: Let that on. 249 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: This is an Emmy Award winner though for John Harbaugh, 250 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: and it really is. An unforced error, is what it is. 251 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: And a bad job by him, bad job by him. 252 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the NFL. 253 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: The NFL is the world's most expensive recycling operation. 254 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: You know. I read a story a. 255 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Couple of years ago that, you know, a lot of 256 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: places like they think they're helping the world by recycling. 257 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: It plays like California whatever, a lot of recycling, and 258 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: then most of it just doesn't end up getting recycled. 259 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: But it makes you feel good, you know, it makes 260 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: you feel good. These coaches get recycled and people think, well, 261 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna be better in their next stop. They're almost 262 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: never better in their next stop and then but makes 263 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: you feel good. So Naggy, I have nothing against the guy. 264 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: I've heard. 265 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: He's a really cool guy to hang out with. He's 266 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: the ultimate good old boy. It's fun at parties, very social, charismatic, 267 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: all that stuff, which is great. Unfortunately, the coaching stuff 268 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: appears to be a problem, and he didn't do terribly 269 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: in Chicago, considering he had Mitchell Trubisky as his quarterback. 270 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: As another guy, Matt Naggi, who gets shuffled around the 271 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: NFL like a deck of cards at a senior center 272 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: because he's a player's. 273 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 3: Coach and that's what they sell him as. 274 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: And the translation on that it's it's black and it's 275 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: a black and white silent film playing at an Imax theater. 276 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: It kind of defeats the point. 277 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Right, and it's like the whole you have this sound, 278 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: immersive experience, So why would you put an old Charlie 279 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: Chaplin black and white silent. 280 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: Film up there at an Imax theater? Don't makes sense. 281 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: If Jackson darts starts barfing giant chunks of ravioli, big 282 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: chunks of ravioli all over the field, he will get 283 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: a Mulligan. So that's the way I look at this, 284 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: because it was just gonna blame the offensive corners. Well, 285 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: it's not Jackson Dart's fault, health, no accountability because of 286 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: the Nagman Naggy, and then blame him Matt Naggy, And 287 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: so that's a Mulligan. A Mulligan situation is what that is. 288 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 289 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 290 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 291 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: Steve Gott's here. 292 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 5: I have a podcast empire.

And one of the mantras in 321 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: the newsroom at that website was today's rumors or tomorrow's news. Well, 322 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: in this case, yesterday's rumors are today's news. Our lead 323 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: story from the trading block. We are one day away 324 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: now from the musical chairs stopping tomorrow afternoon, Thursday afternoon, 325 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: the music will stop. 326 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 6: Now. 327 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: We did get a few big deals done if you 328 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 3: have not hurt. Perhaps not. 329 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: And yet again, yesterday's rumors, today's reality. The Clippers did 330 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: say bye bye to James Harden. He was decommissioned and 331 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: sent off to the Cleveland Cadavers for Darius Garland and 332 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: a second round pick. 333 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 3: Now. 334 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: Following that trade, Harden claimed that he did not want 335 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: to feel like he was quote holding the Clippers up 336 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: in their future, he said, adding that both sides got 337 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: what they wanted. Regarding the trade between Cleveland and la 338 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: Harden emphatically pushing back, push it back, now, pushing back 339 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: on the widespread, widespread speculation that he had requested a 340 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: trade from the Clippers. 341 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 3: So Harden's like, I didn't do that. Why would I 342 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: do that? I didn't do that? All right, that's a 343 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: good jumping off points. 344 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question do you believe James 345 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: Harden when he says he did not ask, did not 346 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: ask for an exit from the Clippers, did not request 347 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: the trade. So my observations on this, I've gotten made 348 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: off Shark Week and Tootsie Pop. And we will combine 349 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're gonna play Connect 350 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: three is what we're gonna play. 351 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: So number wha. All right, we'll delayed on that, all right. 352 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: Anyway, listen to believe this, to believe that James Harden 353 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: did not initiate the trade conversation. To believe this is 354 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: to also believe that you are living in a magical 355 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: forest where the Beard woke up one morning and said, 356 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to be a burden. 357 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to hold the clippers back because I 358 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: love the Clippers so. 359 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: Much, I don't want to hold them back. It's adorable. 360 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 3: And if you believe this, you're dumb. It's nonsense. It's farcical, 361 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 3: is what it is. 362 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: This is like Bernie Madeoff lecturing a room about ethical investing, 363 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: is what it is. 364 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: Come on, Harden, His track record is legendary. 365 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: He says he did not ask out, which is a 366 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: technicality wrapped in performance art by James Harden. And the 367 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: fact that he's bringing this up is a dead giveaway. 368 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 3: What we all thought is reality. 369 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: He didn't need to slam the door, he didn't need 370 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: to light the match, per se. And it's a game 371 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: of semantics. It's a game of semantics, right. All Harden 372 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: had to do, based on his track record. All he 373 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: had to do was just crack a window, wink and 374 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: a nod, and the entire Hire NBA executive panel starts 375 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: screaming like someone spotted a raccoon in the kitchen. 376 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 3: Right, you start freaking out like, well, who let that 377 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 3: in there? I didn't let that? What did you leave 378 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 3: the why's the window open? You let the thing in there? 379 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 3: What's wrong with you? The only way. 380 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: This trade happens, and let me say this for those 381 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: that are up in the upper balcony, the only way 382 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: this trade happens is with the blessing of James Harden, 383 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: full stop, full stop, for a couple of reasons. The 384 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: main reason is Harden had the ability to put the 385 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: kebash on the deal. That's obvious, right Harden. If you 386 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: look at his situation and he is a Rhodes scholar 387 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: at wearing out his welcome or just getting bored with 388 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: places and my entire life. No one signs off on 389 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: a trade at that level ballplayer to Cleveland unless they 390 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: want to go to Cleveland. That's also a tell you 391 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: think if Hardens just quietly was sitting on the sidelines 392 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: as like, okay, well, I guess you want to trade 393 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: me you can trade me. 394 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 4: I'm not going to Cleveland. I don't know who goes 395 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 4: to Cleveland on vacation. 396 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: Well, Hard's gonna be there for February March, and he 397 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: hopes all the way until the summertime. 398 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: But this is what he does. 399 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: Eventually he'll go somewhere the vibes go bad, the mojoe 400 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: isn't working, and he'll pack up the old station wagon 401 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: like a good carpetbagger and go to his next outpost 402 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: and sell. 403 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: The same snake oil to somewhere else. 404 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: And this time he's pretending everything's mutual and all that, 405 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: and both sides got what they wanted. Kurk Flewey, I say, 406 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: kerk floy. Now, meanwhile, the other question here, does James 407 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: Harden push the Cavaliers higher up on Benny's big board 408 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: in terms of the pecking order in the Eastern Conference, 409 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: because why else would you make this trade. You're only 410 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: getting Harden, You're only guaranteed to get hardened for a 411 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 1: couple months. So why would you make this trade if 412 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: you don't believe that James Harden's going to put you 413 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: at a higher level on the big board. So the 414 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: only and I looked at this all ankles. But the 415 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: only way I see James Harden pushing the Cavaliers to 416 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: a higher level is if you're playing, you get your 417 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: joystick out, you get your remote, your controller, and you're 418 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: playing NBA two K, and you make sure to have 419 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: the injuries turned off and defense. 420 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: Sent to optional. If you can do that on like 421 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: the rookie level, you'll you'll be in good shape. 422 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: This is next level Hutzba Cleveland acting like James Harden 423 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: is some kind of playoff elevator. 424 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: You might want to call the otis elevator repair people. 425 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: He's not an elevator. 426 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: He's more of an escalator that only goes down and 427 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: it breaks halfway down. That's James Harden playoff. Harden playoff. 428 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: And I tried to be Benny Brightside. I tried to 429 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: be optimistic. I gave Harden the benefit of the doubt, 430 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: and he yet again had the Presidential Suite a heartbreak 431 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: hotel in the playoffs. And it's a playoff. Harden is 432 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: a jump scare movie villain. Looks terrifying until the lights 433 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: get turned a little bit brighter. He's a blow average defender, 434 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: which is said most of the top. 435 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 3: Level offensive players are not great defensive players. 436 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: The problem is he gets targeted, hunted in the playoffs 437 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: because any coach. 438 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 3: Worth their salt knows that if you're going. 439 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: To attack someone's weaknesses another team, if Harden's on the team, 440 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: you just attack him. In the postseason, teams circle him. 441 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: It's like Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. And Harden's 442 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: effort goes in and out like bad Wi Fi on 443 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: a Spirit Airlines plane, right just going in. And the 444 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: biggest issue here though, playoff referee. It's a different game. 445 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: It's officiated differently. You know it, and I know it. 446 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: They often put the whistle to bed to take a 447 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: nice nap, and suddenly James Harden's entire superpower, which is 448 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: foul baiting turns into turnovers and really sad looking step 449 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: back jump shots that don't have much of a chance 450 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: of going in and a sour puss on his face 451 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Watching Harden in the playoffs, Ye, 452 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: you'd have as much success if you just put your 453 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: head in a high speed ceiling fan and made sure 454 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: it was turned as high as it goes, and just 455 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: put your head in there. 456 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 3: It's a bumpy ride if you're lucky, it's a bumpy ride. 457 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: And if the Cavaliers think that James Harden is going 458 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: to take them past the top teams in the East 459 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: right now, it's teams like Detroit, New York, Boston, good luck. 460 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: You know, I've got some ocean front property in Dayton, Ohio. 461 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: I can say, right on the ocean, right there, on 462 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: the mighty Atlantic Ocean. I can put you right there 463 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: all right now, page two. So the Clippers in this 464 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: transaction acquired All star guard Garland at what seems to 465 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: be a relatively speaking discounted price tag for Darius Garland 466 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: when you look at where he's at in his career. 467 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 3: So the question why why was. 468 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland so willing to trade a twenty six year old 469 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: two time All Star in Darius Garland to the Clippers. 470 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: So on this one, it's it's a Tutsi pop problem, 471 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: is what it is. It's the Tutsi pop. How many 472 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: licks does it take before the whole thing cracks? 473 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: One? 474 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: Two, three, crunchy, crunchy, crunchy. We're talking about tow issues here, 475 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: toe issues there, toe issues everywhere, left toe surgery for 476 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: Darius Garland, right toe spraying. Suddenly Garland walking around like 477 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: he's stepping on legos in the dark, and every other 478 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: step there's a lego. And I did get an email 479 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: from a guy in Ohio. I think he's from Cleveland. 480 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 6: I don't know. 481 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: These people just send me emails and a lot of 482 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: you idiots now send messages about say where you're from. 483 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 3: So I just have to guess. 484 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess the guy's either he's from Ohio, he's 485 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: from Cleveland, or he used to live in Ohio and 486 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: he's a Cavs fan. 487 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 6: Whatever. 488 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 4: So he's explaining, well, the reason you got Garland, I 489 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 4: know you're gonna praise him, the reason you got Darius 490 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 4: Garland because he's damaged goods and he's gonna be hurt and. 491 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: That's why the Cavs are gonna trade him. 492 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah blah blah b b b ba 493 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 5: ba ba ba. 494 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: Okay, So before we get to that, the talent is there. 495 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: The talent is there. The kid can shoot when he's right, 496 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: he's a flamethrower. And it is a legitimate variable that 497 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: availability is the cliche goes is the best ability, and 498 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: the NBA is a league of players that do not 499 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: like to play basketball. Which is unfortunate, and if they 500 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: have any excuse to not play basketball. They're getting hemorrhoids 501 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: on the bench, which is not the way it used 502 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: to be, but it is the way it is now, 503 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: and so Garland has been dressed up like an assistant 504 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: coach sitting on the bench getting those hemorrhoids quite a bit. 505 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: From the Clipper standpoint, it's risk a little, get a lot, 506 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: like they were gonna get rid of Harden at the. 507 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 4: End of the year. 508 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: Anyway, he likely wasn't gonna be back. He clearly was 509 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: not happy, So they were gonna get rid of Harden. 510 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: They flip Hardened and they take a shot. It's kind 511 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: of like playing with house money here. You got a 512 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: little bit of house money. 513 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 3: You go in there and you hope you hit a jackpot. 514 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 3: You want to hit that jackpot. 515 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: You get a younger player who's under contract, and it's 516 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: a big if. Ifs and butts were candy and nuts, 517 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: you'd win the championship every year. If he does get 518 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: back to that point, he's a cornerstone ball player in 519 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: the NBA. So it is a calculated It is a 520 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: calculated risk for Steve Balmer, and they're betting that Garland 521 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: will be okay. And and I know Balmer lost a 522 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: bunch of money because the Microsoft stock went in the 523 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: toilet the other day. But Balmber could still afford to 524 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: buy a bunch of new toes for Garland if he 525 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: has to. I'll get you a new big toe. I 526 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: can get you that middle toe. I'll get you a 527 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: little tiny toe, whatever toe you want. Yeah, I'll get 528 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: your toe, all right now. Final point. So we also 529 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: had trades, not as big trades, but the Utah Jazz 530 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 1: made a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies for a defensive 531 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: Player of the Year talent. The Chicago Bulls made a deal, 532 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a couple of deals, and the Boston Celtics medi trade 533 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: with the Celtics. Minnesota was also involved. So the question 534 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: what else stood out about the NBA's trading post. What 535 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: else stood out about this? So the big I say 536 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: big relatively speaking, The big one is the Jazz acquiring 537 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: Jaron Jackson junior. He goes to Salt Lake from the Grizzlies. 538 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: Some people are saying that's a blockbuster trade. I'm not 539 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: that smart. Can someone explain to me how that is 540 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: a blockbuster trade? At this point, the Utah Jazz and 541 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies. 542 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: They exist. The good teams have someone to play. You 543 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You feel me on that, right. 544 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: So most of the players who were traded I've never 545 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: heard of, Like Jared Jackson, I've heard of, Okay, I 546 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: know who that is. 547 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 3: These other guys, they are faceless, nameless nobody's who were traded. 548 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: And then there were three first round draft picks that 549 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: go to Memphis, which is the basketball equivalent of selling 550 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: beachfront property because winter is coming and that we got 551 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: to sell it. And Jackson goes from playing the Blues 552 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: to playing with the Jazz. Good luck on that. From 553 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: barbecue smoke to Mountain Air and from Mongolia to Siberia 554 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: the same coal, just a different different group of people 555 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: living in that town. But Utah gets a in theory, 556 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: a defensive eraser. And this is really a play. 557 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 3: For next year, Like this is Danny Ainge, like the 558 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: next year is going to be the time that the 559 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: Jazz go for it. 560 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: And this is just a puzzle piece for next year's team, 561 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: not this year's team, because this year they blow and 562 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: what Memphis is gonna do is the oldest con that's 563 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: out there in pro sports. They're gonna sell hope, false hope, 564 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: a lot of false hope by the box. By the box, 565 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: and it's cheaper, it's easier you can store hope. Oh, 566 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: these draft picks are going to work, which is funny. 567 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: I did get another message. I'd not right back to 568 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: this person either, Mike from I think he's in Oklahoma. 569 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't know Thunder fans outside of Oklahoma, so I'm 570 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: gonna assume he's in Oklahoma. And he sent me a 571 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: message like you always rip draft picks, Maul, you say 572 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: you hate the draft. Look at Oklahoma City. They're the 573 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: top team in basketball. They won the championship. It's all 574 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: because of the draft picks. And I'm like, no, the 575 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: reason the Thunder are great is because of a player 576 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: they acquired in a. 577 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 3: Trade from the Clippers. 578 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: Because the Clippers are so good they could go give 579 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: away a most valuable player Shay Jogis Alexander was not 580 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: a player. 581 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 3: That Oklahoma City drafted. 582 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: So it's like this Memphis getting all these draft picks. 583 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: It's like, well, that's wonderful. Let me know when one 584 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: of them turns out. 585 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: To be good. Who cares? 586 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: Okay because he can't really sell it anymore because the 587 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: draft picks usually just go to the G League. 588 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: Most of them these days. 589 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: Anyway, Now, soon after that trade, we had the Pistons, 590 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: Bulls and tim. 591 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 3: Wolves make a trade. 592 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: The names that you may have heard of, Jaden Ivy 593 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: and Mike Conley go to Chicago. Course with Conley, there's 594 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: always the buyout option. Then Boston acquired Nicola Vusovich from 595 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls for Anthony's Simons. So he goes to Chicago. 596 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: Now the flea market specials Vusovich. He's been a pretty 597 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: good box score guy. It hasn't been on good teams. 598 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: He exits the Chicago team. 599 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 3: It's like an escape room. 600 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: He got to leave and go through the escape room 601 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: and all that and joins the Celtics, where generally speaking, 602 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: if you're a productive big man you can shoot a 603 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: little bit. You're treated like royalty and you can look 604 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: up the rafters the r Box Center and see all 605 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: those banners and all that stuff. 606 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 3: And so Husovich gets the. 607 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: Parquet floors, he gets a trip to the playoffs and 608 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: can have dinner with Lucky the Leprechaun. 609 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: So he's got all that. 610 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: Not Michael lepercun but Lucky the Leprechaun, so he's got 611 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: that going for him too. 612 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler 613 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 614 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 6: All right, cool, it's Marty Janetti.

During his press conference on Monday. 616 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,239 Speaker 7: Thanks for touching up my work, Thank you, thank you, 617 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 7: Roger Gooddellson Roger Caddell suggested that replay officials in stadium 618 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 7: or officials monitoring games at league headquarters could start calling 619 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 7: penalties to correct an obvious error. 620 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 6: Ben would be good for the game? Are bad for 621 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 6: the game? 622 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 3: Yes? I think we should have seven hour games. 623 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: Let's just review every single play because unless we get 624 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: it right, we can't go on with the game. 625 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 7: Right. 626 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: And why don't we just give Seattle two point conversions 627 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: that they didn't get on replay? 628 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 3: How about that? That worked out? 629 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: Well, that's Seattles in the Super Bowl because the NFL 630 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: officials gave him two points right next, But. 631 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: You're not bitter? 632 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 4: Uh? 633 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 6: Now that the ten NFL head coaching vacancies have been filled, 634 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 6: which one of the new hires do you think will 635 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 6: have the most immediate success. 636 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: Well, the obvious you go with Baltimore because they have 637 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: an MVP quarterback, Lamar Jackson. 638 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 4: You go with Buffalo because they have an MVP quarterback. 639 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 4: Those are the two obvious ones. The other ones you're 640 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: throwing pasta against the wall. 641 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 3: Is what you do it next? 642 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 6: Recent reports say that is it is inevitable that the 643 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 6: Lakers and Lebron James will go their separate ways this summer. 644 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 6: Let's say that Lebron doesn't retire, where do you see 645 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 6: him ending up? 646 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: Well, the obvious answer, and this has been telegraphed for 647 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: years as always, they say, well, Lebron's gonna go back 648 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: to Cleveland. 649 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: It's gonna be. 650 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: He started in Cleveland, he left, he went back to Cleveland, 651 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: he left again, and he's gonna go back. I know 652 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: he's from Akron, but close enough. And so that's where Lebron, 653 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 1: the story for Lebron will end with the Cavs. 654 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: How did we doubt you pass this edition?
