Speaker 2: the report card, herd round the pigskin world, burning bridges.

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,440

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: complaints about the NFLPA report card that had the Steelers

00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: den at last dead lastly complaints by the Steeler players.

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: We will analyze that. Also, is there correlation between NFL players' amenities,

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: the perks and results on the field. Also, what legal

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: options do the owners have to fight the NFLPA that

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: obviously strategically leaked the report card. It's a bit of

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,560

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios. We are united again here and the

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: nature Boy reminds us that this hour made possible by

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: tire Rack. For over forty years, tyre Raq has been

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: helping customers like Alf the Alien, Opineter, ferg Dog and

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: Mallard prop guy who's strolling around Manhattan right now, find

41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,

42
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: ship fast and free back by free roade hazard protection

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 2: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: dot Com. The way tire buying should be I see

45
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: over there that cashless Clay, the Saints fan. He's nodding

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: the grill, Sergeant, they're nodding. So we had some really

47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: good feedback. Not that that necessarily matters all that much,

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: but Newby Knight was a critically acclaimed, critically acclaimed night

49
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: of the show, and we're happy about that, and we

50
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: don't want.

51
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: The newbies to just avoid us. But you feel free

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: to call me.

53
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: We'll give out the number in a little bit, and

54
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: I know the regulars are excited to be back. However,

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: our lead this hour from the peak leak, if you will.

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: The owners tried, they went to court, they tried.

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: It turns out they failed to keep the NFL Players

58
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: Association report cards from becoming public. This was not that

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: hard to predict. As a distant relative of Nostra Damis

60
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: and former friend of Nostra Denis, it was pretty obvious

61
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: that this information was going to get into the public sector,

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: and it did so earlier this month. You might remember

63
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: the NFL. This is about a couple of weeks ago.

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: I think it was a couple of weeks ago. The

65
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: NFL won a grievance that, in theory prevented the NFL

66
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Players Association from publishing the results of the team report card.

67
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Psych so on Q the Union leaked at not just.

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: One or two, or three or four or all thirty

69
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: two teams. Letter grades were posted online for everyone to see,

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: fun for all ages.

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you checking this out, maybe

72
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: you missed it.

73
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: So the team that is considered at the very top

74
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: of the hierarchy for spoiling their players, the Miami Dolphins.

75
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: Out about that unbelievable Dolphins top spot among all the

76
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: players surveyed for the third consecutive year. Now, if I

77
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: owned the Dolphins, I would start printing up shirts. I'd

78
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: have to send a check to pat Riley, but I'd

79
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: put three P the Miami Dolphins three P. Now, the

80
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: team that was at the very bottom, looking up at

81
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: the tuckers of everyone else in the NFL, the once

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: proud pitts Burg Steelers. They yeah, Steelers, They at the.

83
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Very bottom, right there in the sewer.

84
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: For the first time, Pittsburgh received a very low grades,

85
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: very low grades from the players there in several categories.

86
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: You can read more about that if you want, I'll

87
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: give you a couple of them. The players claimed inadequate

88
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: maintenance excessive wear of the stadium because they guess they

89
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: let a lot of the local college high school teams play.

90
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: God forbid, and these players need the field to themselves.

91
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Note let any of those high school kids on that field, please,

92
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: So they criticize the field, technology, the facilities in general.

93
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss,

94
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: all right, let us discuss.

95
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna discuss right now. So the question here, what's

96
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: coming up.

97
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: For you when you look at these complaints? I maybe

98
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: you haven't seen them, but I'll answer it first. So

99
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: what's coming up for you when you look at these

100
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: complaints by these Steelers players. So I've got I've got truffles,

101
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buffett and Sasquatch, and we will combine all of

102
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: these things together and we are going to say forget

103
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: about it, is what we're gonna say, because I want

104
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: to forget about it. So my first thought on this

105
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: when I when I saw the complaints was I thought, well, boy,

106
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: the Monongahela River is overflowing right now.

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: With the tiers of Steeler players.

108
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to put some kind of warning on

109
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: the local media there in Pittsburgh that the Monongahela is

110
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: just so many tiers from these Pittsburgh players. These Steelers

111
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: players complained about a number of things. The one that

112
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: got the most attention they have in their locker room.

113
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Five bathroom stalls for the entire team.

114
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: Five. That's it. That's all.

115
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: So that is a Heinz Field or whatever the stadium's called.

116
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: Now some act for sure, something something level tragedy.

117
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: Right there, be still my beating heart. The Steeler franchise.

118
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: You've changed. Another thing that's changed in my lifetime. When

119
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I heard.

120
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: These amazing stories about the legends of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

121
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Men were men Frank o'harris, Jack Lambert, guys who look

122
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: like they chewed on nails and ate rebar for breakfast.

123
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Right now, juxt opposed that to essentially the Steeler players

124
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: complaining because of the lack of white truffles and family

125
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: lounges that are lacking. He's so spoiled, it's just outstanding.

126
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: They think roughing it. I'm pretty sure they think that

127
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: roughing it there at the Steeler locker room.

128
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: It means going on the road, staying at.

129
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: A hotel, you know, somewhere out in the NFL that

130
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: only has one infinity pool.

131
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?

132
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the hardship of saying at a hotel

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: with one only one infinity pool?

134
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: How can you live? Seriously, I'm not kidding now.

135
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I would like these guys when they retired to

136
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: come work here at Fox Sports Radio. We have a

137
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent male staff. There are I believe three

138
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: women that work in the building. They have their own bathroom.

139
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: We have one toilet for every other dude that works

140
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: in the building, right one.

141
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: That's it. Do we complain, No, we do not. We

142
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: do not. And they used to have both.

143
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: Bathrooms open back in the day, but they stopped them.

144
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: Some people complained. But the NFL Players Association report card,

145
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: it reads like a just a tone deaf group of people.

146
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Right.

147
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: The players are so up to's they don't understand how

148
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: pampered they are. And it's just great, right you think

149
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: about you know, you really arrived, baby, the NFL.

150
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: NFL teams for years and years and years, right, they.

151
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: Would fly commercial and practice at local high schools all

152
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: the way up until I think it's stopped in like

153
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: sometime in the late eighties early nineties. In fact, we

154
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: had friend of the show, Fred Dreyer, who was a

155
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: famous actor and played in the NFL, and Fred's you

156
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: know a friend. We should get him back on at

157
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: some point I put on my podcast or something. But

158
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: Fred told the famous story when he was playing. I

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: believe it was with the Rams in the late seventies

160
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: early eighties, and they would practice at like a high

161
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: school field, and before they started practicing, the entire team

162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: would walk across the field like they were looking for

163
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: evidence in a crime scene, but they were really trying

164
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: to fill the divots and the potholes that were on.

165
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: The field so they could practice.

166
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: What would happen if, you know, just pick a random

167
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: team like the Minnesota Vikings players said the coaching staff said, listen, boys,

168
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: the field's a little left up here. Can you just

169
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: walk and see if you can find any divots and

170
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: fill them in?

171
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Snot in my contract? Oh my god? All right.

172
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, meanwhile, let's take a deeper dive on this. So

173
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: eighty percent of all NFL players responded to the NFLPA

174
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: survey of teams. They tell us this was the highest

175
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: player participation rate ever. I wonder why, I wonder why,

176
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: higher than the US presidential election, there were more people

177
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: that in the NFL that voted for this.

178
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: So the question.

179
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: Is there a correlation between the amenities that NFL players

180
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: get and the results on the field. Is there is

181
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: there a correlation? So after a minutes long Mallard deliberation

182
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: in the judges chambers, we have determined that there is zero,

183
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: zero correlation between having five star facilities and five star football.

184
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: None zip o bupkis.

185
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: That's it.

186
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: So the Dolphins, who've apparently built a beat front bungalow

187
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: just total blisz jet ski juice bars, palm trees, banana hammocks.

188
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: Everything there has palm trees swaying in the wind. It's

189
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buffett fever dream come to life here. And so

190
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 2: you've got this owner, Steven Ross, who's handing out the

191
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: VIP treatment. It's like party favors at a billionaire's luow.

192
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: And what did that get him? A bland plate of

193
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: fish sticks, no tartar sauce, and a seven and ten

194
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: record and a seat in the cellar of.

195
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: The AFC East.

196
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: You know, the Jets are less, No, they weren't. The

197
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Jets are on a real team. The Jets are a fraud.

198
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: The Jets don't count. That's Pop Warner. They don't count

199
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: for last place. That's not a real NFL team. The

200
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: NFL has thirty one teams, but really you want to

201
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: get lately, they've had less than that because you to

202
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: include the Browns and the Raiders.

203
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: But they're low.

204
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: The Jets are at the very bottom for longevity of suckage.

205
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: So you juxta pos the Dolphins, Hey Beachfront, Bungalow and

206
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: all that. And then you've got the Steelers who have

207
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: been getting mocked and ridiculed because they don't have enough

208
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: urinals and they have outdated tech and all this stuff.

209
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Real caveman conditions.

210
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the players are given just a slab of

211
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: concrete and they have to eat Dino nuggets.

212
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: That's I think. I don't know for sure.

213
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 2: I might be making that up, but they might have

214
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: to eat Dino nuggets. And so they went out there

215
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: and won ten games, and they won the AFC North Crown.

216
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: And it has been said.

217
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: In life, comfort breeds complacency. The next generation is not

218
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 2: as gung ho to get it done. It's kind of

219
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: like when we talk about sports team's old family money.

220
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: That generation that earned the money. And we see in

221
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: the NFL, right, these second third generation family ownership groups,

222
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: it's just not the same.

223
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: They don't care.

224
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: You think Mark Davis cares as much as Al Davis.

225
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: Hell no, Like, come on now, Genie Boss a joke

226
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: of an owner in the NBA with the Lakers whilst

227
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: he's selling the team now, thank god, but horrific compared

228
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: to Jerry Buss and you and I the list. I mean,

229
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: there's plenty of these other examples in the NFL. You

230
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: want to go down that rabbit hole. But there is

231
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: a thought that some kind of hardship actually builds character.

232
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: Hair on your chest, right, Yeah, but you imagined if

233
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: discovering that the team yacht, the team yacht does not

234
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: have a heated smoothie bar, does that count as hardship?

235
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: I think in this NFLPA survey it does.

236
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: It does. So.

237
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Dolphins, these silk sheets, the high thread

238
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: count on the Egyptian silk sheets, do not secure playoff.

239
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Wins and all that. You go back to the Dan

240
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: Marino days.

241
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: Our last word here, So the NFL Players Association report

242
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: card greats, right, We've been talking about that here at

243
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the hour, and they've all been leaked

244
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: and all that, and you can go through them and

245
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: have a microscope out and all that. Had fun with it.

246
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: And we've talked about a couple of things here. But

247
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: the NFL has reacted to the situation by sending out

248
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: an internal memo to all teams, which of course was

249
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: also leaked. Come on, the NFL, a multi billion dollar conglomerate,

250
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: a cartel, has instructed the members of their cartel to

251
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: refrain from publicly commenting or engaging in the survey the

252
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: report card, and they said doing so only would provide

253
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: credibility to the union's media campaign.

254
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: They're calling it a media which it obviously is a media.

255
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: Campaign to sway public sentiment. Those poor NFL players, and

256
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: there are I'm always fascinated.

257
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: By this, like the real fanboys, you know who they are.

258
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: Oh, we we love our team. We these poor players.

259
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: It's so sad they didn't get tuna tartar. It's really

260
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: bad they got that can tuna.

261
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So the NFL says they will view

262
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: the leak.

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: They're going to review the leak, and the question what

264
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: legal options do the owners have to fight in the

265
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: NFLPA on this report card quagmire. So I do believe

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: that the Oose are actually right to clamp down on this,

267
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: absolutely right. Seriously, if the NFLPA is running the public

268
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: smear campaign, which they are, and they're dressing it up

269
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: as a report card, don't gonna sit there and take it. Hey,

270
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: these guys all made a lot of money. Some of

271
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: them inherited the money, but the ones that made their

272
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: money on their own, they're pretty sharp.

273
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Generally, you're not.

274
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: A billionaire pinata right a kid's birthday party. You've fought

275
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: to get your money by the team. You fight for this,

276
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: you file the grievance, you make this a federal case,

277
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: which I guess it has to be.

278
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: Now, keep it in right.

279
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: Nobody looks good like the players are just spoiled babies.

280
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: The owners also are spoiled dopes. Everyone needs help from Sasquatch.

281
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: They need some of that doctor squatch. Body watch a

282
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: body watch, I scrub a dubb dumb Now that's it.

283
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: The robber barons, you know, they're just gonna sit there

284
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: and they can't let the union just leak all this stuff,

285
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, and spin it and weaponize it and all

286
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: that stuff and pretend it's some kind of neutral science project.

287
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: And now the damage is already done. As we know,

288
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: the Internet is forever, so once it's out there, it's

289
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: not like you can delete it. It can't unring the bell

290
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: and all that. So yeah, you can get a cease

291
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: and desist. Whoopee damn do that'll be great, enforce the

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: CBA and drag it back to arbitration where it all began.

293
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: And the interesting thing here is that there is a

294
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: avenue if some of the individual owners wanted to go

295
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: and sewe.

296
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: They could do that.

297
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: There's some language in there the union violated the rules,

298
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: which it appear as they did, and the chaos could

299
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: take over and we'll see. Yeah, I don't think that's

300
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: gonna happen because that would just drag more stuff out.

301
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: And it is interesting the NFL is in bed with ESPN.

302
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: They own part of esp I don't if the deal

303
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: is done done, done done yet, but ESPN was the

304
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: one that leaked the story and so it's like, I

305
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: wonder if the owners are gonna have an issue with that.

306
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: Put the clamps on ESPN because they're a business partner.

307
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: It's now state funded. NFL Media over there, so we'll

308
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: see what happens with that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

309
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: If you would like to be part of this, we

310
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: will take your phone calls.

311
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: It is not a newbie night, but we always love

312
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: new voices. It was great.

313
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: We had a fun time with all the new peeps

459
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: That's great for you for the three women that work

460
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: at the company, but for the men.

461
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: Maybe if the one.

462
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: Stopped peeing on the toilet, this wouldn't be a problem.

463
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: Okay, well it wasn't a problem before you got here.

464
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,800

Speaker 5: even like using the men's bathroom.

469
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: So I just merely pointing that out. That's just I

470
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: thought that was I don't think it's not.

471
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 5: I it sounds actually you have a grievance that there's

472
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: only one men.

473
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: Well, I think the math is not great. Now.

474
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 5: We don't suggest because there's thirty men in this place

475
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 5: means that the women can't have a space to their own.

476
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Well, you can clean it if you want when you

477
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: go in there. But there's one.

478
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: Bathroom, seventy men's off of the toilet or the whoever.

479
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: I remember when they designed it, and it's odd to

480
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: me because we broadcast out of an old Denny's, and

481
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: I guarantee you when it was a Denny's, they had.

482
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Multiple stalls and urinals and the whole thing.

483
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 2: And then when they redesigned the building thirty years ago

484
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: or twenty six years ago, and they redesigned the building

485
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: for some reason, they said, Okay, we don't need all

486
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: these toilets let's and all the urinals, Let's just have

487
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: one and one.

488
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: That seems like a really bad idea.

489
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: Now, Ben, I do want to know how many times

490
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 5: at this hour have you experienced a line at the

491
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 5: men's bathroom.

492
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: I have had problems, and I drive very far from

493
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: the north Woods, and I usually time it where you know,

494
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm making a sprint to go to the toilet, right

495
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: because I got a you know.

496
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, urinate or whatever.

497
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: So I go in there, squirt squirt, and I've had

498
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: sometimes I've really had to go and someone's in there.

499
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: I get there way before you guys do, and there's

500
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: people actually in the building.

501
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 5: And yeah, for the most part, it really doesn't.

502
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: That pretty much happens every time I come in, to

503
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: be honest with you, there's usually somebody in there. So

504
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: it's it's, you know, pretty much every night that I'm

505
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: in there before when I arrive in the parking lot

506
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: and I make my sprint over to the buildings.

507
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: Well, be thankful you get bladder exercises.

508
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very very happy. But that let's see here,

749
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: the hour. You want the fun fact of the hour?

750
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: Fun fact? Did you know? There are only three teams

751
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: in the NBA that have a chance to win the

752
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: title this year. That's it, three teams in the entire NBA.

753
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: Based on Phil Jackson, Matt Now, Phil Jackson had said

754
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: that for a team to be legitimately qualified to win

755
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: a championship, you have to win forty games before you

756
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: lose twenty games to be a legitimate contender. There are

757
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: only three teams that qualify for that. Those are the

758
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: teams are the Pistons, the Thunder, and the Spurs. So

759
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: one of those teams gonna win the championship this year. Now,

760
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: in the history of the NBA since the merger, there

761
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: have only been five teams that have not done that

762
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 2: that have won the championship.

763
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: That's it, five in the NBA that have been able

764
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: to do it without winning forty before twenty.

765
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: So, based on that, the zen Master, Piston's Pistons, thunder

766
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: and Spurs.

767
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: That's it all right, time now for the who am
