26
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: This hour is from the swap meet. It did not disappoint.

27
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: We didn't have a lot of huge names traded. We

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of trades. There was much like my

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: diet back in the day when I was going for

30
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: it and I I just ate everything. It was quantity

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: over quality. So it is deadline day, a historic deadline

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: day for the volume of trades in Major League Baseball,

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: and we have all night to slice and dice and

34
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: go brick by brick and all that stuff. But let's

35
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: start with a normal target. The dirty, rotten scoundrels of baseball,

36
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: the land of no morals. If you didn't see what

37
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: they did, maybe not on brand. The cheating Astros reacquired

38
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: disgraced infield. There Carlos Correa and a deal. It some

39
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: say is surprising, some say is surprising comes over from

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins. The Twins, by the way, announced after

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the trade deadline they'll be joining the Pacific Coast League

42
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. But Carlos Correa, he

43
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: goes to Houston and the Astro well on, they sent

44
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: some minor league player back to Minnesota. Now Korea waived

45
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: his no trade clause in order to make that happen.

46
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: He has also agreed to change positions as he goes

47
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: back to the Cheaters. He'll play third base, so he'll

48
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: be on the left side of the infield with the

49
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: guy that yousurped him at shortstop, Jeremy Panna for the Cheaters.

50
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what is your perspective

51
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: on Carlos Corea, the cheater going back to join the

52
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: other cheaters in Houston. So I've got true crime, rubber made,

53
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: and four seasons, and we will combine all of these

54
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna make some movie theater buttered popcorn,

55
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: not just your normal buttered popcorn, but it's just a

56
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: little bit better. It's a little worse for you. It

57
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: fills up when you're to the movie theater, right, not

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that many people do anymore, but you go there and

59
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: it fills up your gut and your arteries. The Holy

60
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: all right. So a, this Carlos Carrea deal is just

61
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: dripping with irony capitalize right, the Twins. Now they're paying

62
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: thirty three million dollars to make Carlos Korea go away.

63
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Think about that. I would love for someone to pay

64
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: me thirty three million dollars to go away. I promise

65
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: you I will go away. You will never hear about

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: me again. You'll never hear me again, You'll never see

67
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: me again. But think about that Carlos Correa who signed

68
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: the biggest contract in Twins history, and a couple years

69
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: later they we got to get rid of this guy.

70
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: And on the other side, Korea chose to return to

71
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: the place where he cheated his way to a championship.

72
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: It's like some kind of twisted redemption tour. So using

73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: some patented overnight sports radio psycho babble, what this is.

74
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: After a minutes long deliberation, Korea signing off on the

75
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: note trade to go back to Houston is straight up

76
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: true crime behavior. If you ever watch those true crime shows,

77
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: you've seen this. You've even if you haven't, you've heard

78
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: over the years the criminal mind. The way the criminal

79
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: mind works, the criminal always returns to the scene of

80
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: the crime. Enter Carlos Korea. Right, He's not just going

81
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: back to Houston because he liked the weather there. This

82
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: is textbook narcissist stuff, right, Korea, who must be emotionally aroused,

83
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine by the trash can, banging buzzer, wearing

84
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: World Series trophies, stealing franchise, And so he wants to

85
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: go back there and get some more validation there. He

86
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: needs reassurance Korea that all that cheating he was a

87
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: part of that it wasn't just okay, was just okay.

88
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: It was heroic. And this is a guy who has

89
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: built his entire identity, is a big league ballplayer on

90
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: being a schmuck, an a hole, someone you cheer against,

91
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: and being part of the dirtiest team in baseball history,

92
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: the as one thousand and two, one thousand holes. So

93
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: it's his happy place. That's the line right the park,

94
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the one place where no one boos him, there's no

95
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: moral outrage. The whole fan base has embraced the trash

96
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: can mantra. Right, He'll go back in there like a

97
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: conquering hero. He might even be wearing a trash can, right,

98
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: hugs confetti. They might give him a special golden trash

99
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: can as he returns there. But he'll be back in

100
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: the warm embraced Korea of the franchise that he helped

101
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: become a national laughingstock and embarrassment and the face of

102
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: cheating an American sport. Correa never really left mentally, he

103
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: did it, you know, probably spent the whole time in Minnesota.

104
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Every time he saw trash Can, he was whispering sweet nothings, right,

105
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: just just kind of flirting with the trash can. So,

106
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: Korea's back in age town, and the Astros just welcomed

107
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: home there for digital punk. He's back in town, right.

108
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: They deserve each other now page two on this as

109
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: we break it down. So why is the Carlos care

110
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: trade the ultimate head scratcher for the cheating Astros? So

111
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: the reason's kind of clear here if you follow this

112
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: story at all, if you pay any attention, and maybe

113
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: you don't, maybe you don't, but if you do, you

114
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm about to say. So the team in

115
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Houston let Correa walk four years ago because hello, they

116
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: did not think he was going to age well, they

117
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: didn't think that the player would be able to live

118
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: up to the long term contract. They had somebody else younger.

119
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: They could have kept Korea and moved him to another

120
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: position if they thought he would be all right. So

121
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: by bringing him back, the astros are admitting that they

122
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: were wrong to let him go. But here's here's the

123
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: shocking thing. They weren't wrong to let him go. He's cooked,

124
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: all right. Correa's cooked. It's like they're trying to revive

125
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Blockbuster video. It's not coming back. And while he's listed

126
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: at age thirty, he often plays Korea like he's fifty,

127
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: at least he did in Minnesota, and watching him run

128
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: it's like watching someone try to run through a sprint

129
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: in the cements. Kind of wet there and it's just

130
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of messed up. He's in the bottom percentile according

131
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: to the NERD stats in barrel percentage. He's got no

132
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: range defensively, and I'm pretty sure you could plant corn

133
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: in the gaps he leaves on defense. Thus they're going

134
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: to try to hide him at the hot corner, care

135
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: at third base. But what an emasculating move. What an

136
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: emasculating move. This isn't just about the analytics and all

137
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: that stuff. You had to remember. The astro said, we

138
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: don't think we can we can bring you back. We

139
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna live up to the contract we

140
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: could give you. The Mets signed him to a deal

141
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: or came close backed out, the Giants agreed to a deal.

142
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Both then saw the medical record and ran for the hills.

143
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: They said, you know what, we're good, Carlos, We're good here. Thanks,

144
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: but no thanks. And he goes to me Minnesota and sucks.

145
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: And so he's not just declining this season, he's nose diving.

146
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: And now here come the a holes crawling back like

147
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: that x who who seems to be convinced that they

148
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: can fix him. Oh yeah, I can fix this guy.

149
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, what are they gonna dip him in the

150
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: holy water of a rubber made trash can somewhere in

151
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: the suburbs of Houston and boom, gonna be hitting like

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: he was in twenty seventeen. Right, all you have to do,

153
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: Deck Torrea, get him the buzzer. If that doesn't work,

154
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: try a whistle, right, maybe a trash can lid instead

155
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: of a hat, right, full service. Hey. In fact, the

156
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: equipment guy when he gets back to Houston, Korea, the

157
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: equipment Guy's gonna say, hey, Carlos, you want your buzzer

158
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and medium or large? I know you've gained a little way,

159
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: it's still a medium or do you need a large buzzer?

160
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: So waste management right Houston style? And what do we

161
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: always say, what do we always say on the show?

162
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: We say, don't let a falling star fall on you.

163
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Well guess what they not only did that, they traded

164
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: for a falling star, right, they went out and they

165
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: caught a falling star. So they're like, all right, we

166
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: want that, all right, Now we must go to the

167
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: other part of this trade. We must go to the

168
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: other part of the trade. Everyone in baseball is like,

169
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: what are they doing when I say they we're going

170
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: to the Upper Midwest now the last word, and that

171
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: would be the other side of this transaction. Do you

172
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: have any advice to those Twins fans on how to

173
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: deal with what some are saying is the single most

174
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: embarrassing day in baseball history for a franchise giving up

175
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: and that's your Minnesota Twins of twenty twenty five. So

176
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: do you have anything an advice for the Twins on

177
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: how to deal with an epic day of transactions as

178
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: they unloaded the big league roster at the trade deadline.

179
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: So my advice would be, you know the cover I

180
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: think it's like a cover band for the four seasons. Right,

181
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: this is the fifth season, we'll call it. And this season,

182
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: and this is my advice to you in Minnesota is apathy.

183
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: It's apathy season. No more Minnesota and Ice. Don't even

184
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: bother getting mad. Don't get worked into a ladder. The

185
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: pole Ad family that owns the team, they obviously don't care.

186
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: They're not building a winner. They're just clearing debt. And

187
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: it's just a line item on a spreadsheet. They're trying

188
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: to get rid of debt to sell the team. So

189
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: they're trimming the fat like a chef that's got that

190
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: big knife there and trying to trim away the fat.

191
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: And so they're trying to get the books, right as

192
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: I understand it, to sell the team and then they

193
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: can buy another yacht with all the money. Do you

194
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: think they care about you the fan? You think the

195
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins care about you the fan? They showed you

196
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: they gave you the middle finger with these trays, right,

197
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: And so I got no skin in the game, but

198
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: I am sick of earing. Well. I mean, look at

199
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the hall they got back. They're smart. They weren't gonna

200
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: win anyway. Look at all the minor league players. They

201
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: got enough. Tommy, you're a maron. This was a competitive team. Now,

202
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: granted they were going in the wrong direction. But everyone's

203
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: a fringe playoff contender these days because they keep adding

204
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: wild card teams. And I've just not been raised that way.

205
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are losers and you've

206
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: been raised that way. But I was taught not to

207
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: just quit, not to give up on purpose. And that's

208
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: exactly what I saw from the Minnesota Twins. Oh but

209
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: we got prospects. Oh that's great. Why don't you make

210
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: out with your prospects, right, wonderful. It's the currency of

211
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: the coward. Prospects. Oh, they're gonna be so good. It's

212
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 1: so funny to me how many people are just complete

213
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: morons when it comes to prospects. I give you an

214
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: example team. I liked the Dodgers. A couple of years ago.

215
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: They had a guy named Trevor May who was a

216
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: top prospect. Oh, he's a great prospect. The guy sucks.

217
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: The Dodgers gave him to the Red Sox. He's terrible.

218
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: They had another top prospect a couple years back named

219
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: James Outman, who also blows by the way he's going

220
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: to the Twins congratulate, But he was a top prospect.

221
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh man, look at the prospect all you losers, you guys,

222
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: look at these prospect reports. You pull your pants down.

223
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: You're so excited. It's embarrassing, right, embarrassing. So I mean

224
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: they traded they had a decent to good bullpen. They

225
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: traded their bullpen, the entire bullpen, half your roster, and

226
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: you got And maybe that'll be good. I mean that

227
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: maybe that guy will be good. I don't know. Give

228
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: me a break, right anyway, you do what you want.

229
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: My advice would be not to spend a dime and

230
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: make that stadium like it was COVID in Minnesota, beautiful ballpark,

231
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: but maybe like COVID was no one there. Go rent

232
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: a boat and enjoy Lake Minnetonka instead. But for the Twins,

233
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean, my not one dime, all right, You don't

234
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: go to the ballpark. You don't buy a hat, a bobblehead,

235
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: you don't even you don't comment on social media because

236
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: that means you care. Force them to win your trust

237
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: back because they just violated the bubble of trust. So

238
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: forced them to earn your trust back because they deserve it.

239
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: This is apathy season. That is my advice, pure cold

240
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: blooded Minnesota winter weather grade apathy. Right, And you don't yell,

241
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: you don't scream, You just kind of walk away, because

242
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's all about the emotion, and the emotion means you're

243
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: still engaged. The emotion means that you still care. You

244
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: give a damn. Apathy means you're not a customer anymore.

245
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: You don't care about their product. And if they're playing

246
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: in front of you, you're not gonna even look. You're

247
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna turn your back and go the other way. They've

248
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: lost you. And that's the way you have to approach you.

249
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: You have to and that's what the Twins earned. Every

250
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: action has a reaction, and that should be the reaction

251
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: and nothing you get, absolutely nothing. That would be my advice. Now,

252
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen? Do I know? There's always the

253
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: fanboys no matter what, all we love the prospects. Oh,

254
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. This is such a great you know,

255
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: there's always those losers. Got to hate those people. They're

256
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: always out there, right, Oh, this is going to be

257
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: great five years from now. It is really the ultimate

258
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: hustle for a couple of reason and I'm not going

259
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: to rant about that. I will rant at some point

260
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: in the future about my belief that the Major League

261
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Baseball pipeline is one of the all time great scams

262
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: ever put in the world of sports. So I'll do

263
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: that another day. I just will sum this up by

264
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: pointing out how absurd it is to sell five years

265
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: from now? Right does any other business get away with that?

266
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: When they have a shareholders meeting an Apple, do they say, Hey,

267
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: these iPhones are going to absolutely stink for the next

268
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: four years, but in year five, I think we'll have

269
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: a good one, right, I think we'll be pretty good

270
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: there in year five. Like in the car business, when

271
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: they're making automobiles, do the people at Toyota say, well,

272
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really have any good and I

273
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: don't think we have any for the next couple of years.

274
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: But if you check back with us in five or

275
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: six years, I think that one of these cars that

276
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: were thinking about the prototypes, I think they might be

277
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. But yet in sports you're able to get

278
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: away with it. It's like, why is that? Why are

279
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: they allowed to get away with that? I just don't

280
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand that mindset. I was not raised that

281
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: way watching sports, But hey, the East throw and anyway,

282
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: if you would like to be part the balance of power.

283
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the balance of power shifted with any

284
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: of these trades. There were a lot of trades. I

285
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: just like that we can tell who actually is trying

286
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: to win and who's not trying to win. And oh,

287
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: by the way, the Dodgers are on that we're not

288
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: trying to win. List my Dodgers. I mean, hey, I

289
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: thought was Fred Claire back as the GM there? My god,

290
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was like the eighties take a nap

291
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: of the trade deadline. Holy crap.

292

298
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: We never have enough time to get to everything we

00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: want to get to.

300
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 5: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

301
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 5: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

302
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 5: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

303
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: because this guy is over promising things we never have

304
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 5: time for.

305
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blubber lit name in me.

306
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

307
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: be good at it because you've been over promising women

308
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,200

313
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,520

Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

326
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: Mahler Show.

327
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: We are in the air awhere jointly as we are

328
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: truth beyond the static coast to coast sport of the

329
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: border and beyond on the vast and brashly powerful microphones

330
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: of fsre.

331
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: Am moinating live from the store. Welcome in. It's Benny's

332
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: General Store of sports takes from the Fox Sports Radio studios,

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: as signed off on by the notorious character known as

334
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: Bagel Boy. Now, this portion of the Ben Maler Show

335
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: on Fox made possible by our friends at tire Rack.

336
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: That's right. For over forty years, it's a fair amount

337
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: of time. Ty Raq has been helping customers you find

338
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,

339
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection

340
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack

341
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: dot Com the way tire buying should be. So we'll

342
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: get back to the baseball later, but we'll move over

343
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: to the world of football and we will start out

344
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: just adjacent to Capitol Hill where all the lawmakers waste

345
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: our money. So we have a plot twist in the

346
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: contract stalemate in DC. If you have been following along,

347
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: or if not, maybe you've missed it. The star pass

348
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: catcher for Washington is not happy. He wants moneymount of money,

349
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: and a lot more moneymunt of money. Don't we all

350
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: take a number from the deli counter. So, if you

351
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: haven't heard the latest, we have learned now that the

352
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: commander's wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, is so frustrated with negotiation.

353
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: How frustrated it is, thanks for asking. He's so frustrated

354
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: that he is now requesting a trade and there has

355
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: been no movement, no movement. It's pond water in terms

356
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: of getting a new deal. So let us discuss the question,

357
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: how do you evaluate the Terry McLaren trade request from Washington?

358
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: How you evaluate the request of a trade by Terry McLaurin.

359
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: So I've got saber Ikea and mister potato head, and

360
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

361
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: are going to make some Baba ganoosh is what we're

362
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna make. So number wa, I said, number Yeah. Here's

363
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: my position on the Terry McLaurin trade request. This is

364
00:20:53,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: the textbook twenty twenty NFL Wide Receiver Handbook on display right.

365
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: They all read the same manual. They all follow the

366
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: same script. And you do a job like this. Now

367
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to pay attention this closely,

368
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: But I have nothing else to do. So it always

369
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: starts with the holdout, and then now you're in the

370
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: hold in. Now you're in the hold in because you

371
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: can't sit out more than a few days. At fifty

372
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day. It's like a hostage negotiation. Now now,

373
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: based on the economy in the NFL, this is a

374
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: ballplayer who in that world has been underpaid in that world.

375
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: Now in the real world, not underpaid, but in that

376
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: world underpaid. And he sat there and watched the other

377
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: receivers get their paid a whether players better than him,

378
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: like Justin Jefferson or AJ Brown or Christian Kirk have

379
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: reset the market, even Christian Kirk. So McLaurin is sitting

380
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: there saying, hey, what about me. I've been a good,

381
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: good scout here, I didn't do any wrong. Well, here's

382
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the thing, though, it would appear based at this point

383
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: Washington does not care and they don't really want to

384
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: give him a new contract. Otherwise, spoiler alert, they would

385
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: have already given him a new contract. There's no reason

386
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: to drag this thing out. It's not Jerry Jones and

387
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So you know next, I'm sure we get

388
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: at some point here the emoji warfare. I call it

389
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: emoji warfare, the bio change, the retreat, the reposting of

390
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: stuff on social media. But it's not about the money.

391
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: Of course, we know it's about the money, but it's

392
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: about respect. You know, I need respect and I need

393
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: to feel valued. You don't value me, right. They want

394
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: the bag and they want the pat on the back.

395
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: So you not only need the bag, but you need

396
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the pat on the back. And for what it's worth,

397
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: the commanders have already said that they are not going

398
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: to make any kind of a trade with this particular ballplayer.

399
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: They've already turned down some trades allegedly. But every man

400
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: has a price, every man and has the pressure. And

401
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: so if a contender loses a wide receiver, whether it

402
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: be in practice or a game between now and the

403
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: start of the regular season, and some random team calls

404
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: up and says, hey, I'll give you a first round

405
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: pick for mclauren. And they'll say, okay, how fast can

406
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: we get them to the airport? You know, and you'll

407
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: get the answer right there. So mclaurin's camp is obviously

408
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to raise the temperature, and you want to

409
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: apply pressure here, and pressure, pressure, pressure, you leak the

410
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: trade request check that box. Okay, we've now requested the trade.

411
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: You get the fans all riled up there, you make

412
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: it uncomfortable for the team. It's all calculated, and you

413
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: get the saber. The saber rattling is what you get here.

414
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: It's all part of the game. What's in the game.

415
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: It's part of the game. And so call it a

416
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: bit of an audible, you call the audible. This is

417
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: the audible right here, and this is the escalation phase,

418
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: is what it is. McLaurin has been through quarterback hell,

419
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: playing with Stiff after Stiff, he carried that offense. And

420
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: now they finally have their alleged forever quarterback, Jayden Daniels.

421
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: We'll see what he does for an encore. And so

422
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: now he's like, okay, this is my last chance. I'm

423
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: crossing the rubicon here. Age wise, I got to force

424
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: their hand. He's making the noise, and the noise ends

425
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 1: up getting you paid, or it gets you traded, then

426
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: you get paid with another team. That's normally how it works,

427
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: all right. Now, Page two, So to Canton, Ohio we go.

428
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: Picturesque Canton, Ohio. The Chargers show me your lightning bolt.

429
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: They beat up the Lions in an exhibition lidlifter. Now,

430
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: much of the chatter in that game about two things.

431
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to the new setup in the NFL, which

432
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: did not go very well, by the way, holy crap,

433
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: involving how they will measure the football. But that's a

434
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: different conversation for later on. We got a lot of

435
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: time to navigate. The quarterback of the Chargers was not

436
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: justin Herbert. It was the new backup, old forty nine

437
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: er trash and cowboy trash, Trey Lance, who had a

438
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns and looked like he actually knew what

439
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: he was doing. So everyone's yapping, Oh my god, Trey Lance. Oh,

440
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers are gonna be able to trade him and

441
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: he can be a QB one for the New Orleans

442
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: Saints or somebody else. All right, So question, did quarterback

443
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Trey Lance may make a statement? That's what Chris Collinsworth

444
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: said on the broadcast as Collinsworth had the knee pads on.

445
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: So did quarterback Trey Lance make a quote statement close quote,

446
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: as collins were said on the Hall of Fame TV broadcast.

447
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: So my answer is a n absolutely not, absolutely not.

448
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: I come on, you knew this kind of story was

449
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna be here. Either Trey Lance went out and played terribly.

450
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: Is oh, I can't believe the Niners traded all those

451
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: draft picks to get Trey Lance blows or if he

452
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: played well, he's back. Baby, Trey Lance is back. So

453
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: let's not be ridiculous here. As a distant relative of

454
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas who lives in Seattle, we

455
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: knew this was coming right. This was a I watched

456
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of it. Don't tell anybody, Please, don't

457
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: tell anybody. I watched a little bit of at all.

458
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: Nothing else on it was that I watched some of

459
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: the Mariner game playing the Rangers. There's light cart and

460
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Fame game. I watched it. I watched it.

461
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: But this was a glorified walkthrough in Canton, Ohio. And

462
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: there they were Mike ta Rico and Chris Collinsworth on

463
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: NBC giving Trey Lance a tongue bath, acting like he

464
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: was making his football bar mitzvah. This was his coming

465
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: out party here everyone. He was now a man. I

466
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: am My name is Trey Lance, and I'm now a

467
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: man as a quarterback, and I'm watching this and I'm like,

468
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: I know you have to grab onto something. I know

469
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: that's part of the job. Can everyone just take it

470
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: a deep breath here? This is the first exhibition game.

471
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: It's a total dummy run, right And oh, by the way,

472
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: he was playing against Yes, a lot of dummies. So

473
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: he's out there against guys we're trying to make a

474
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: name for himself. Most of them will be working for Brown,

475
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: but not the Cleveland Browns. They'll be working for Ups

476
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, or they'll be pouring concrete on

477
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: the highway. And what can Brown do for you? How

478
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: about not get a sack on Trey Lance? Like, that's

479
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: not rewrite history here. There is a reason that Trey

480
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: Lance is in the position he's in. He was the

481
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: number three overall pick from twenty twenty one, and here

482
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: we are years later. The forty nine ers gave a

483
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: pick after pick for his rights. They backed the Brinks

484
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: truck up to Miami. They dumped all those draft picks out.

485
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: By the way, that Dolphins haven't won anything with those

486
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: draft picks, but they traded all those draft picks away

487
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: in exchange for a guy who is now basically chased

488
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Daniel without the high football IQ but let's not forget

489
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: that he got leap fraud, leap frog Trey Lance by

490
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: mister irrelevant brock Purty, a guy taking last in the draft,

491
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: usurped the number three pick in the draft, and San

492
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Francisco just gave brock Purdy, who Terry and England would

493
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: agree as just mediocre, but gave him one hundred and

494
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: eighty two million. Garon teed. Meanwhile, you juxtapose that with

495
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, who's now on his third team. I believe

496
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: he's still trying to figure out how to tie his

497
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: cleats without help. So, but he's got all the tools.

498
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: He's got the arm talent, he's got the analyticism, he's

499
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: got the size you look for at the quarterback position.

500
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: And so did the legend, the infamous JaMarcus Russell back

501
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: in the day. He had all that stuff too. So

502
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: you need more. I know it sucks, but you need

503
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: more than just having a nice toolbox. You need more

504
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: than that. You actually have to know how to use.

505
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: Said to. So, I look at Trey Lance as a

506
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: guy out there who's got two left thumbs and he's

507
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: trying to assemble a piece of furniture that he bought

508
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: at Ikea, and he's also eating those meatballs at the

509
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: same time. So forget the whole change of scenery. All

510
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: that we're gonna change the narrative, nonsense. You can make

511
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: no declaration. The only thing Trey Lance could have done

512
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: is hurt himself if he'd gone out and played bad

513
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: and rode the vomit common Now, the fact that he

514
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: played well, had a couple of touchdowns and all that,

515
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: that's fine, But you don't get credit. You don't and

516
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that these exhibition games. Trey Lance, until

517
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: proven otherwise, has a full time residency in the boondocks

518
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: of Bustville. Noaying, it's on Google Maps. If you just

519
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: go to Google Maps, you can type in Bustville and

520
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: he lives right there. So until I see it against real,

521
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: legitimate NFL teams that are scheming this, stop him and

522
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: number ones and number twos in a game that has

523
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: some value. Please, I don't need the preseason propaganda. I

524
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: don't need the exhibition propaganda. And I'm just gonna do

525
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: every monologue, goofing on all the preseason propaganda. That's just

526
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: gonna be my life's work for the next month. So

527
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: buckle up. Buccaroo. All right, now, final point speaking of that,

528
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: we go now to Indianapolis, a basketball state, the Hoosier State.

529
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: They have a football team, not a good one. And

530
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: there are whispers in this news cycle that say the

531
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: Colts quote won't consider quote won't consider moving on from

532
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: in battle the quarterback Anthony Richardson this season, yay or

533
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: nay on? That whisper yay or nay on the Colts

534
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: not even considering moving on from Anthony Richardson. So I'm

535
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna give this one side eye, which is a that's

536
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: a nay. Right now? They have to say this though,

537
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: you think that Shane Steichen and the GM there Chris Ballard,

538
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: are going to sit there and stand at the dayis

539
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: at the podium there in now we're in August and say, yeah,

540
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: we might be thinking about replacing the guy that we

541
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: drafted in the top five a couple of years ago.

542
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: We think we might no shot, right. The better question,

543
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: the better question is who would be dumb enough to

544
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: trade for this guy. You'd need a staff that is

545
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: involved in NASA, like those NASA engineers, the smartest people

546
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: in the room to redesign your offense. And you'd also

547
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: need some kind of trauma surgeon on speed Dobb. Richardson's

548
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: played fifteen games, and in about half of those fifteen games,

549
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: so seven and a half of the fifteen games, Anthony

550
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: richard Sin's body has flown apart like he's mister potato

551
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: Head in those games. Now, now Indy as a franchise,

552
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: they love the idea of him, and they love the

553
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: idea that he's going to turn out to be good,

554
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: just takes time, gotta have patience, all that stuff. They

555
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: like that idea more than reality because he's another guy.

556
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: We talked about Trey Lance earlier in this monologue, but

557
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson also the prototype quarterback, another guy that's got

558
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: all the tools but no toolbox and all that. And

559
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: in this case, it's the NFL's version of buying a

560
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: Porsche and then realizing you can't drive stick shift, Like

561
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: that's the move now. Now, Richardson is built like an

562
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: action figure and he reads defense like he's trying to

563
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: translate a menu at a restaurant in Paris, and he

564
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: doesn't speak French. And it's one of those things. He's

565
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: been so bad since he got to the Colts. People

566
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: talk about, well, what kind of soap do you use

567
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: when you you know, an Irish spring person, what kind

568
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: of But he's he's not using that. In fact, when

569
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: he goes into the locker room and then leaves for

570
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: the day, they have to fumigate the locker room with Ortho,

571
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: bed bug, flea and tick killer, not only for Anthony Richardson,

572
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: but also Daniel Jones who's in there. And so again

573
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: you combine the fact that he can't play with the

574
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: fact that when he does play, he has the durability,

575
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: Richardson of a paper straw. Is there anything that is

576
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: more annoying than trying to drink a beverage with a

577
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: paper straw and you know you're on the clock. You

578
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: know you only have anywhere from five to ten minutes

579
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: before that fragile paper straw collapses and then you're done.

580
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: You cannot use that straw to drink whatever you're drinking. So,

581
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: if you're the Colts, if you're the Colts and you're

582
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: really married, I don't buy this report. But if let's

583
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: use the Mallard multiverse, and in the Mallard multiverse, you

584
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: are You're in it, right, You're in it. And also

585
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: so you're married to this guy, then you better be

586
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: prepared for a long, disappointing marriage with a lot of

587
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: therapy bills, and not a therapy, but physical therapy also.

588
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: So the chatter should be how long until they start

589
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: cheating on him with next year's quarterback draft class? If

590
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

591
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

592
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

593
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Here we go, It's Mallard. How about that? To the

594
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled cool.

595
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 6: The other day, Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam dismissed any notion

596
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 6: that the team would tank for arch manning Ben. Which

597
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 6: teams do you think are most likely to go into

598
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: tank mode this season?

599
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: All right, so first of all, you never admit the tank.

600
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: You do the tank, but you do not admit the tank.

601
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: So even if the Brown and they have tanked before,

602
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: you can't admit it. So there's no way Haslm's going

603
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to go on the record say yes, we are trying

604
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: to take but the obvious answer the headless Saints of

605
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: the Bayou, the New Orleans Saints, who don't have a quarterback,

606
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: have no coach, They suck that's the team, and you

607
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: know the famous Manning back in the day who played there.

608
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 6: Next, it was reported recently that the Warriors will quote

609
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: remain in the mix should Lebron James want to finish

610
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 6: out his career somewhere other than La Ben, could you

611
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 6: see Lebron teaming up with Steph No.

612
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640

00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: out Clipper photos on social media. Justin sent me this.

614
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,120

615
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,840

617
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,279
