It's still a late Tuesday night in the West. 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: But our leads story from San Francisco follow up follow 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: up to a previous previous malle monologue. We talked about 33 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: the Niners after the Monday night game. A lot of chatter, 34 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: a lot of chatter, delayed reaction, like hey boy, that guy, 35 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: that guy brock Party blows. It's like, well he sucks, Yeah, 36 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: he does. He sucked before the Niners paid him. Now, 37 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: the tell for me was when the number one Brock 38 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: Party Toatsucker Terry in England, who's a big forty nine 39 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: er at Hank, when he did not run to defend 40 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: brock Party. That was a dead do what dead give what? 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: So Kyle Shanahan, who plausibly is the head coach of 42 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: the San Francisco football team, Kyle Shanahan attempting to shut 43 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: down the noise. Oh, we're gonna stop the noise. Shanahan 44 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: asked a couple of times about possible quarterback change in 45 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, saying bye bye to brock Purty, giving 46 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: him the clipboard, the tools of Victor Ritz, and having 47 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: him walk around the sidelines there in a swap for 48 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: mac Daddy mac Jones as the forty nine Ers QB 49 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: number one. Well, turns out if you didn't see this, 50 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: maybe not. Shanahan dismissed, dismissed, repeatedly the idea that there 51 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: would be some kind of shake up among the quarterback 52 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: position there in brock Purty, even though he delivered absolute flatulence, 53 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: complete and total flatulence in the first half of that 54 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: game and really throughout the entire game when you consider 55 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the opponent. So despite that, mac Jones will not be 56 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: taking over people calling for him to take over there. 57 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers coach repeatedly standing by his quarterback 58 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: prock Purty and says he remains in command of the offense, 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: all right, So that is a good jumping off point. 60 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: Let discuss the question, why why is the forty nine 61 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: Ers coach Kyle Shanahan so stubborn about brock Purty. All right, 62 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got home Depot, Wright, Brothers, 63 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: and Fork and we will combine all of these things together. 64 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Ding ding, and there you go. Well, we're gonna make 65 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: some chimmy chungosy is what We're gonna make, delicious chimmy 66 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: chogas a tradition on Thanksgiving is the chimmy chunga unless 67 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: it's not all right. So a as I've learned from 68 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: years behind the powerful microphones at Fox Sports Radio and 69 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: other broadcast channels, I have learned over the years that 70 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: everyone is a psychologist. Everyone is. Even I am a psychologist, 71 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: so I would I'm not professional. I'm an amateur psychologist. 72 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: So I have my diagnosis on what's going on here 73 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. Doctor Mahler is in and 74 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: here is my diagnosis. This is called classic stubborn Coaches syndrome. 75 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: Class look it up. It's in the medical journals. I'm 76 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: not making it up. You think I'm making it up. 77 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm not making it up. No, I'm not. It's classic 78 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: stubborn coach syndrome. That is what that is. They're diagnosed it. 79 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: The reason that Shanahan is so held man he said, well, 80 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: all coaches have to stand by their quarterback. Well they do, 81 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: but not to the degree that Shanahan is. My theory 82 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: on this is Shanahan knows he's stepped in it. He 83 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: really did step in. And now what do we mean 84 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: by that? He rubbers stamped and endorsed Brock Purdy getting 85 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: a contract he did not deserve. The guy's not someone 86 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: that elevates the players around him. And we've seen this era. 87 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: There'll be a great docu series on frivolous pork barrel 88 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: spending in the NFL. Suck bag quarterbacks that got paid. 89 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the little fella I'll get arms Murray in Arizona. 90 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrens, that guy blows in Jacksonville. Right, you go 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: down the list here, these guys have got the big 92 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: money and they stink. And Brock Party is on that. 93 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: And Kyle Shannon, he's the guy that again endorsed Brock 94 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: Party getting the contract. You hand out that kind of cash, 95 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five million dollars for Rock Party 96 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: buys a lot of rope. You go down to Home Depot. 97 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: You get the whole aisle. The whole aisle will be 98 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: named after you. When you have that kind of cash, 99 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: you can it's not ropeile, it's brock perty. Rope aile 100 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: is what it is when you get a lot of 101 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: rope enough rope there at Home Depot, where they'll name 102 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: the entire f and aisle at every store in North 103 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: America after you. And so he's got it. Defend it, 104 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: He's got a Shannon's got an defend it Now brock 105 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Purty continues to ride the vomit comet the way he 106 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: has here. Guess whose seat? One guess? No cheating, no cheating, okay, 107 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: I know you're old Jed who fled about the cheat. 108 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: Don't cheat, don't do it. So one guess. Okay. The 109 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: guess is whose seat gets hotter than a habanero in Asana? 110 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Who is it? All right? That's right, d yes, that 111 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: is Kyle Shannan's Now did you hear the excuse? I 112 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: love the excuses, lack of accountability. The excuse is so good, 113 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: it's just just just wonderful. Uh So the excuse after 114 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: the three atrocity interception half there in the first half 115 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: on the Monday night game, he uh reated. I thought 116 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: he was just kind of kid, and I thought this 117 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: was some ad lib comedy. Apparently not. He said, all 118 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: three were good decisions by brock Purdy. Just a hair late, 119 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: is what Shanahan said about those interceptions the other night. 120 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: So a hair late for brock Purdy and all good decisions, 121 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: really good. So I went back. I looked because I thought, well, 122 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: maybe maybe my memory is going. I don't see a 123 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: lot of football games. Maybe something was wrong. And I said, well, no, 124 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: brock Party was a full Greyhound bus late on those throws, 125 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: and Carolina's defensive backs it was a Vaudvillian comedy as 126 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: they were actually running better routes or roots than the 127 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: Niner receivers. And either that or brock Party was just 128 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: trying to throw to the Carolina Panthers defensive backs there. 129 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: And so Shannan listened. The point is, Shannan's married to 130 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: the mistake. He's married to the mistake. You pay the 131 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: guy who's not the guy, but you paid the guy. 132 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: He's not the guy, but you paid the guy. So 133 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: you paid him, and congratulations, you picked the wrong guy, 134 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: and now you're tied to that player for better or worse. 135 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, you got to ride the wave. It turns 136 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: out that the wave looks like it's a tsunami of turnovers. 137 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: But that's you made your bed. Congratulations, it's a bed 138 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: of nails. Hope you enjoy that. Good luck. Meanwhile, Mac 139 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: Jones is not God's gift to the quarterback position. He 140 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: did keep the Niners afloat congratulations, and the Niners quarterback 141 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: Mac Jones the twelfth ranked quarterback in the NFL. And 142 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: that's ahead of Caleb Williams, the guy that likes to 143 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: paint his nails there in Chicago, and then also Patrick 144 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: Mahomes who's now opening restaurants and things like that and 145 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: doing that whole thing. So regardless, Kyle Shannon will not 146 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: even entertain the conversation blasphemy, absolute blaspem, because it means 147 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: he would have to admit he misread the room. And 148 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: no one ever wants to admit they're wrong. You don't 149 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: want to. You want to clearly I messed that. No, 150 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: you don't want to say that mess that up. No, 151 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: he's protecting his resume, is what he's doing. Yeah, Brock 152 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: pretty has played often like a low battery notification like 153 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: the batteries getting low charge it. We're gonna go to 154 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: low power mode. That's what we're doing here. And Shannan's 155 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: gonna keep defending it until the rope runs out. And again, 156 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: two hund and sixty five million. A lot of rope, 157 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: A lot of rope. You can even do the rope 158 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: d dope is what you can do. You can do 159 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: the rope dy dope all right now, flipping the pache, 160 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: but not going far because another story that we have 161 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: not really gotten into, I haven't really bitten into a nice, 162 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: juicy story, and that involves the Niers. Everyone's got a 163 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: hot take. I saw some fiery comments from a former 164 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Seahawk and forty nine er Richard Sherman, the mouth of 165 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: the legion of voom back of the day, and now 166 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: someone that despised the media, now remember the media. It's 167 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: wonderful anyway. Richard Sherman perplexed, absolutely perplexed that Brandon iuc 168 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: the wide receiver. His antics said, if you've missed it 169 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: over the weekend, the last couple days, stories come out. 170 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: The Niners gave him one hundred and twenty million dollars 171 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: contract and because of his malfeasans. They have already voided 172 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: almost twenty seven million of that in gairwal and tees. 173 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: They've said, we're going to chop that away guaranteed money. 174 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: So you had one hundred and twenty and now you've 175 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: given back about twenty seven million of that one hundred 176 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: and twenty. Reports out of the Bay indicate that Brandon 177 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: and I, the wide receiver there, skipped not one, not two, 178 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: not three, but many many forty nine er team meetings 179 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: and activities. I guess you figured out I'm not playing. 180 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: Why am I going to bother going to these team meetings? 181 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: Didn't show up, there were team activities, he said, I'm good. 182 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm good, and that's no. 183 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: No. 184 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: Like the other night, if you're watching the Monday night 185 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: game the Niners in Carolina, you had Fred Warner and 186 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa eating nachos and buttered popcorn watching the game. 187 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure both those guys were like, what do I 188 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: have to be there? I'm not playing. I am a here. 189 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: That you were there so they could put you on 190 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: TV for ten seconds, that's why you were there. Said 191 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: we're paying these guys a lot of money, but they're 192 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: not here anyway. So Brandon Ike didn't want to play 193 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: the game. He didn't want to play the political game 194 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, and so after a big 195 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: contract dispute, got a lot of airplay, talked about him 196 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: a lot last year when his contract was up, last 197 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: off season and back and forth. He ended up getting 198 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: hurt acl mcl tear in October of twenty twenty four, 199 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: and he has yet to come back and play. So 200 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: let's discuss this one. The question, the question for the 201 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: esteemed panel here, why is forty nine or wide receiver 202 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuc not fighting? He's not trying to get to 203 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars, he's not hired a lawyer and 204 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: all that suff No, the Niners have said, we're avoiding 205 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars of money that we were going 206 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: to give you, and he's like, okay, whatever you want, 207 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: go ahead, knock yourself out. I said, my first thought 208 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: on this one, this is the strangest, the strangest twenty 209 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: seven million dollar ghosting that I can recall off the 210 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: top of my head. Now, I'm sure there have been 211 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: other situations that have been ridonculous and all that stuff, 212 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: but right now, in this moment, we worry about today's 213 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: show and this right now, I can't think, I cannot 214 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: think of another situation quite like this. Normally, if you 215 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: void this kind of deal, this amount of money, then 216 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: there's a war that breaks out, there's an absolute ord 217 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: that's too dramatic. But no, you have parachuters jumping out 218 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: of planes, lawyers for the NFL Players Association jumping out 219 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: of lanes. You have a media onslaught where they show 220 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk and you know, some poor relative he's got 221 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: making a whole sob story about how he has to 222 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: pay bills and how's he supposed to pay bills and 223 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: all this stuff, that ole thing, and and then and 224 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: Brandon I said, no, no, I'm cool, I'm good, I'm good. 225 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: And that tells you everything that is the dead giveaway, 226 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: dead give what it is that bye bye Bay, Bye 227 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: bye Bay area. Brandon wants out. He goes. He bought 228 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: the most expensive think about this, the most expensive one 229 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: way ticket since the Right Brothers built the plane that 230 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: became what became air travel. The Right Brothers there in 231 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: North Carolina. So the forty nine ers paid him. Brandon Ayuk, 232 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about. They shackled him with the golden handcuffs. 233 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the golden handcuffs. And now well, now 234 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: he wants the Houdini escape backed. Although Houdini didn't pay 235 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars to get the handcuffs off. He 236 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: didn't do that. So what he should do and see 237 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: if the forty nine ers are cool with this? You 238 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: should drive down the California coast Brandon and I have 239 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: a big event for charity in air quotes for charity 240 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: and go down to like Pismo Beach and get right 241 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: on the beach there and have a bonfire and light 242 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: the twenty seven million dollars on fire. That would be majestic. 243 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: It would be wonderful, be awesome to have a big 244 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: bonfire there right on the beach and have forty nine 245 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: er fans come out. It can be therapeutic and it 246 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: can be a cleansing of the soul. Cleansing of the 247 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: soul is what it could be there. And there you go, 248 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: because again it's this one's not business. This is personal. 249 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: This is a personal situation. You skip team meetings, you 250 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: rehab away from the facility, all that stuff, and you 251 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: are very quiet night, silent night. When it comes to 252 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: avoiding money and all that. And that's the athlete body 253 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: language that tells you, Okay, I have already checked out, 254 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: Bye bye, I've checked out, just like that. And before 255 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: staying with the Niners, there was some flirtation out on 256 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the market. Brandon iok had a chance to go to 257 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots. He turned down I think it was thirty 258 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: something million dollars a year because he felt like the 259 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: Patriots did not have a solid quarterback. They had Drake 260 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: May who had not established himself yet, and he was 261 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: betting against Drake May. That tells you that he's chasing 262 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: the perfect situation, Brandon Ayuk, and not just to pay day. 263 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: He wants like the perfect situation. And this might be 264 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: the dumbest financial play since there was a running back 265 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: named Ricky Williams who signed with master P back in 266 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: the day. You don't even know who that is, but 267 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: it was very funny at the time, and we thought 268 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: it was pretty good. And as the lessons from Doctor 269 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: Seuss that life is just a series of decisions that 270 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: we make on a daily basis, and Brandon IUC is 271 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: really not great at making decisions. It would appear, it 272 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: would appear his decision making is not good. It is 273 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: going to take him years. He will likely never get 274 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: the lost money, the twenty seven million back, and that's 275 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: the price to get out of a forty nine or uniform. Meanwhile, 276 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: last word to Miami, Miami we Go, where Tyreek Kill's agent, 277 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus was asked about the status of the rather interesting, 278 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: shall we say wide receiver Tyreek Hills hurt out for 279 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: the year after ergoing season ending knee surgeon. Leg was 280 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: all mutilated in that primetime game. So his future with 281 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: the Dolphins remains murky, very murky. That's what it remains. 282 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: Although the current contry technically does have Tyreek Hill part 283 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins through the twenty twenty six season. The 284 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: Hills agent, Drew Rosenhouse won a local TV in Miami 285 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: this week and gave a vague update. He said, quote 286 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: regarding Tyreek Hill's treacher that depends on the Dolphins. He said, 287 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: I haven't had any discussions so with the Miami brass 288 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: yet about Tyreek or his future with the team. We'll 289 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: have those discussions after the season. Close quote. All right, question, 290 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: how hard a decision is this for the Miami Dolphins 291 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: regarding Tyreek Hill and his future how hard a decision 292 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: is this? All right, So this is the oldest trick 293 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: in the book of tricks for Drew Rosenhause, it just 294 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: is this is the non update update, non update update. 295 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: And he says, hey, well, we're gonna talk after the season, 296 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: and that's great. Let me use my mather Rosetta stone 297 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: to translate. That means they have not called us, they 298 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: have not contacted us. We know what is coming, we 299 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: are aware what is coming, and you know what is 300 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: coming close quote. Now, that's what the Rosetta Stone told me. 301 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: That's what it means. Pre Chopped veggies is what this is. 302 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: It's predetermined, It's predetermined. That's it. The Dolphins are swimming 303 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: towards a fork in the road. Why are they swimming 304 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: on the road. They just go with it. They're swimming 305 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: towards a fork in the road. And the fork is 306 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: shaped like a wrecking ball, shaped like a big wrecking ball. 307 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: And unless someone from Disney steps in and there's a 308 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: magical plot twist, and the Dolphins have another winnable game 309 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: this week, I believe they play the Saints. The Saints 310 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: blow So unless there's some kind of magical plot twist here, 311 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: Miami is gutting that operation. They are to a tongue 312 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: of Ilawa. You might want to afford your mail right now, 313 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 1: you're gone, Mike McDaniel. Time to get a different colored 314 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: polo and work on your podcast game because you're gone. 315 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: This is just bookkeeping. There's no motion. It's just bookkeeping 316 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: on this one. That's all it is. It's business school 317 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: wearing shoulder pads and that's it. Miami would say thirty 318 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: three million. Now I'm a salary cap truther. I think 319 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: the kap is crap, capus crap, capus crap. That said, 320 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: when you want to get rid of someone suddenly, it's 321 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: very important. And a lot of dumb people call radio 322 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: shows and post things online. So all, what's so good? 323 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: We saved so much money? Book crap. Anyway, listen, the 324 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: reason you want to get rid of the player is 325 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: it's not even based on the money. It's not. It's 326 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: the fact that Tyreek Hill, his entire body of work 327 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: is turbo speed. He's nicknamed the Cheetah. He's thirty one 328 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: coming off a mutilated leg injury. So if you don't 329 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: have the speed, what do you got? You end up 330 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: on the clearance rack. And that's it, And that's the 331 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: the NFL's version of a It's like a sports car 332 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: that needs a new transmission. Well, you're not gonna pay 333 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: full price if you take the car and you say, 334 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: well it needs this and that, And the thing of 335 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: a jig's not working. The watching McCall it's kind of 336 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: messed up there. What are we gonna do with that? 337 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody knows how to fix the watching mccull it, 338 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: But the thing of a jig. I don't know if 339 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: anyone gonna fix the thing of a jig. The watching 340 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: mc call it probably, but the thing of a jig 341 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: not so much. And then that's it. So it's not 342 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: really that hard decision. And then we'll do the where's 343 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: Tyreek kill game? Where's he gonna end up? And all 344 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: that stuff, and uh so the Dolphins really have already 345 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: made the decision, like what's going to change between now 346 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: and then? They just haven't given the breaking news graphic 347 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: to because they are mister editor. So as mister editor, 348 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: they have not given that to schefter to put on 349 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: social media and all that. It's the math. It's the 350 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: drama mixed together there, and the math and drama together 351 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: that is a home Run. 352 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Malor 353 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 354 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 355 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. 356 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: Join me every weekday morning on my podcast, Straight Fire 357 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 3: with Jason McIntyre.

They were twenty one point lead on the 369 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: road at Dallas. Bad job, bad job by them. Now 370 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: this cloud was an ominous cloud with wide receiver A. J. 371 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: Brown throwing jabs at the quarterback. Frustrated with the Eagles offense. 372 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: There you had former Philadelphia Eagle Donovan McNabb, who has 373 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: entered the chat McNabb urging the Eagles to say bye 374 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: bye to AJ Brown. You see this, Yeah, I know, 375 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: I know. Well he's like the trade him or whatever. 376 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: The trade deadline has already passed, so that's not gonna happen. 377 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: If you didn't see it, Donovan McNabb popped up on 378 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: Philly's sports radio, So put anyone on Philly Sports Radio, 379 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: So they put McNab up there. He called in earlier 380 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: this week, and he used as an example a point 381 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: of reference. He used his former coach and now the 382 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: coach of the chiefs Andy Reid, as an example. Is 383 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: that Andy, and trying to explain why a toxic culture 384 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: can hurt the entire team, McNabb said, quote, among other things, 385 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: he said, it's when you start bringing pieces in that 386 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: the toxic talk starts to create a bad aura around 387 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 1: the team when discussing AJ Brown. So that is a 388 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, what 389 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: is your verdict on Donovan McNabb urging the Eagles to 390 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: unload AJ Brown because of the toxic culture brewing in Philadelphia. 391 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: It must be in the water supply. So my observations 392 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: on this, I've got South Park X men and A 393 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: Windy's Frosty, and we will combine all of these things 394 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: together and we are going to make the Gabba Ghoul 395 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: with a side of Baba Ganoosh is what we're going 396 00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, all right, so number one, number one, Yes, 397 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: So we agree that the relationship between A. J. Brown 398 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: and the Eagles is crack a lacing like the old 399 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: pavement there. If you've been to Philadelphia on the Vine 400 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: Street Expressway right there in downtown Philadelphia, it's it's not 401 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: looking good. It's not looking good. And we love it. 402 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: From a talk radio standpoint, we're not Eagle fans, so 403 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: we think it's just freaking great that AJ and the 404 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: Birds are heading towards Splitsville. And how Howie Freeman, Howie Freeman, 405 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, the GM of the Eagles there who's loves 406 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: the camera and broadcasters love him. This was a misstep 407 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: by the Eagles front office. They had offers, standing offers 408 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: to trade AJ Brown, and they're hubris. They're like, oh no, 409 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: we don't need to do we can we can navigate this. Well, okay, 410 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: we'll see if you're correct or not. It doesn't look 411 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: like you're navigating it very well at this particular point. 412 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: You know, like I'm gonna keep this guy and so 413 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: oh they are heading towards Splitsville in Philadelphia, but the 414 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: trade deadline has passed. Now that said, you are not 415 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: the guy, Donovan nab. You're not the guy to give 416 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: the state of the Bird's address when it comes to 417 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: the relationship between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Here's why, 418 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: because you are the former quarterback who needed a birf 419 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: bag in the Super Bowl, a literal burf bag vomit 420 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: in the air everywhere in Jacksonville against the Patriots. We 421 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: don't forget, we don't forget keeping it real. It's not 422 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: really analysis by Donovan McNabb, the former Eagles quarterback NNA. 423 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: This is unresolved trauma, is what this is. It is 424 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: t o Terrell Owens broke Donovan McNabb's spirit so much. 425 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: He did it before social media, like social media was 426 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 1: not really a thing the way that it's become now. 427 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: It's the matrix, it's the full matrix. It was people 428 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: dabbling in that world, but it was nothing like it 429 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 1: is today. Right when that was going on. They were 430 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: able to go mono amano toe to toe, eye to eye, 431 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: belly to belly without social media. McNab on one side 432 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: and Owen's on the other. And so it wasn't documented 433 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: in memes and gifts and all that stuff. It wasn't 434 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: There weren't bot farms in Maldova that were keeping track 435 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: of everything and weaponizing all that. So t O for 436 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: McNab was the horror movie villain for mister McNabb there, 437 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: and he can hear the theme music in the back 438 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: of his head. It's just it's subtle, but it's there. 439 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of like in the background. And so now 440 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: he sees aj Brown McNab he's not played in years. 441 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: He sees aj Brown and that triggers a flashback. Uh oh, 442 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: So it's not really commentary so much from McNab as 443 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: it's a therapy session disguised as a call into a 444 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: sports radio show from from Donovan. Here he's going Cartman 445 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: from south Park and he's going Cartman from south Park. 446 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, why don't you show me, 447 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: Donovan on the doll where t O hurt your confidence? 448 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: Can you show me where? Okay, right right there, Okay, 449 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: where else? Okay there to Okay, we'll see that. Yeah. 450 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: Uh so a J. 451 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 2: A J. 452 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: Brown has been chirping, because that's what birds do. They chirp. 453 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: Trip trip trip trip trip trip trip trip. And uh 454 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: he's also been chipping the paint off the the Eagles. 455 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: They just won the Super Bowl a year ago with 456 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 1: AJ Brown, but he has been in Jalen Hurts business 457 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: in his face literally and figuratively. Toxic guy, right, toxic guy. 458 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: And from that standpoint, and normally, if your production is good, 459 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: you stick around. If your production is bad, you go away. 460 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: This is a career low in many areas for AJ 461 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: Brown this season. So the production is going down. And 462 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: McNabb referenced Tyreek Hill and he used Tyreek as an 463 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: example to make his case. He didn't bring up t 464 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: Oh mind you. He brought up Tyreek Hill and Andy 465 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: Reid getting rid of Tyreek in Kansas City and the 466 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs continuing to win Super Bowls after Tyreek went off 467 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: to Miami. So he was a fifty to fifty ball 468 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: kind of guy, right, fifty to fifty maintenance, fifty to 469 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: fifty ball, and AJ brown stats are starting to go 470 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: down as mentioned just a little subtle thing at this point. 471 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: So there's that, and Brown is problematic. McNabb though, is 472 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: really projecting here. And it's my analysis on this that 473 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb is projecting and Philadelphia's culture, the crack of 474 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: lacking and all that stuff. It's like the it's like 475 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: if you go to any gas station, they they all 476 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: like if you're in Philadelphia, they have like the little 477 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: Philadelphia souvenirs. Very proud of the fact that the history 478 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: of Philadelphia in America, so they have like little souvenirs. 479 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: At the gas station. You can get a little replica 480 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: Liberty bell that has like the fake crack in it 481 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. That's kind of what that is. 482 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: The Liberty bell, like the cheap ripoff toy that you 483 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: get at some gas station in Philadelphia. That's where that 484 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: is not. Paige sue. We now go to former NFL 485 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: coaches for a thousand. Please, can I get former Bucks 486 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: coach and Cardinals coach Bruce Arians online? Yes? All right, 487 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: So Bruce Arians unloaded unloaded on the Minnesota Vikings quarterback 488 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy arians ripping McCarthy demanding the former NFL coach 489 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: demanding that the Vikings quarterback ditch is very dramatic alter ego, 490 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: and we talked about in a previous episode of the show. Quote, 491 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: we don't need all this ball one two, one thousand ship. 492 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: We don't need it. We don't need the ball bucking 493 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: the bull by night. We don't need it, don't want it. 494 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: Talking about the alter ego thing, Bruce Arians said, it 495 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: needs to be a p he washed up. Former coach 496 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: stated accurate passer was the way he described it. Bruce 497 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: Arians saying that, and they paid appearance on YouTuber Pat 498 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: McAfee show. He said, you don't need snot bubbles and tears. 499 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: The former NFL coach stated, you play quarterback, not linebacker. 500 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: He said, Okay, we don't need all this bull shoy, 501 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: the bullshoy ballet. Don't need it. I don't need it, 502 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: he said, So there you go. He said, you're just 503 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: an effing quarterback. Play quarterback. That's all you're supposed to do. 504 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: You're not a linebacker. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right, 505 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Is Bruce arians criticism 506 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: is Bruce arians criticism of Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy and 507 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: his alter ego Go nine, that's his alter ego nine, 508 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: his imaginary friend nine. Is that fair or foul? Fair 509 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: or foul? That's the question. So Bruce Arians, now, we 510 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: went back and we watched the replay. We did an 511 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: expedited review, and Bruce Arians did not tiptoe into the take. 512 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: He didn't tiptoe into the take. He kicked the door 513 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: off the hinges is what he did. And he's right 514 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: based on a expedited review. Fair ball, fair ball, that's 515 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: what we call. Right there, you go. Nobody cares about 516 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: your inner spirit, animal, your imaginary pal. Nobody cares about that. 517 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: It's not stage play. We're not on Broadway or off Broadway. 518 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: We're not doing that McCarthy's whole nine routine, which is 519 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: his jersey number. It's kind of like him doing that 520 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: and playing the way he's playing is akin to sacking 521 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback while your team is down fifty five to 522 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: nothing and then doing the river dance after you've sacked. Well, 523 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: you could do the river dance after you sacked the 524 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: quarterback down fifty five. It doesn't generally look that good, 525 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's not a great look. And this does 526 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: not fire the guys up the whole alternative persona doesn't 527 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: fire anybody up. In fact, it makes a lot of 528 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: people roll their eyes like like, what a douche, what 529 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: an absolute JABBRONI this guy is. You talk about Schmendrick 530 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: and look it up. This is a Mama Luke if 531 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: there ever was a Mama Luke. And Justin Jefferson does 532 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: not need drama. He needs the ball to be placed 533 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: in a position where he can catch it. He needs 534 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: he needs completions, he needs yards and touchdowns and all 535 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: those things. He's not getting that, Justin Jefferson, he's not. 536 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: And so let me tell you a little bit from 537 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: what I've learned over my years here behind these microphones 538 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: on how they make the sausage stuffed pigskin. How do 539 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: they do it? How do they make the pigskin sausage? 540 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: So the alter ego stuff, while it's lame to the membrane, 541 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: lame to the membrane. It the way it works is, 542 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: it's fine if you're good and people are India, it 543 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: works if you win. You know, Aaron Rodgers is mysterious 544 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,959 Speaker 1: and he's a deep thinker, and then when he doesn't win, 545 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: he's a whack a doodle. He's a jackwagon and a 546 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: cuckoo for cocoa Puff's guy is what he is. And 547 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: if you and so that's the word, it's the same name. 548 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 2: I say. 549 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: If you lose your JaMarcus Russell, your Ryan Leaf doing 550 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: cosplay as those guys, that's just the way it is. 551 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: And so you become Bozo the clown. Congratulations, you are 552 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: Boso the Clown. And right now, JJ McCarthy, I'm going 553 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: up the ladder here looking down at the room. JJ McCarthy, 554 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: the Viking quarterback is a founding member of x Men. 555 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: Did you know that? You didn't know that? Okay, well, 556 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: have you learned something new when you listen to late 557 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: night radio. He's not nine. He's a founding member of 558 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: x Men. Actually, Iceman, that's it. He's Iceman, and he's 559 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a mutant. Doesn't play like a mutant. He's a mutant 560 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: that was born with superhuman skills. Congratulations. McCarthy has the 561 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: ability to manipulate the ice and cold by freezing water. 562 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: He takes water vapor and freezes it and then in 563 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: the process has absolutely destroyed any kind of good mojo. 564 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings happen to have their drives with wobbly 565 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: throws and just so bad. The Vikings often don't even 566 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: bother throwing because they know it'll be an incompletion, So 567 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: why would they do that. You know that that whole thing, 568 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: we don't want any part of that went another new 569 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: with that, So so there you go and just horrible. 570 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: And Bruce Arian's giving him the playbook. He's like, well, 571 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: ditch the whole theater thing. Push that, pushed that off 572 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: to the side, get rid of the whole theater thing 573 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: like that, we don't need that, and that's it, and 574 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: just throw completions and it's wild. He didn't look at 575 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: Michigan when I watched McCarthy, but I hadn't said, well, 576 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: this guy's an NFL quarterback. I didn't look like it 577 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: at all. The marketing campaign that has taken place over 578 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 1: the last fifteen years or so with these guys before 579 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: the draft, and it goes back to a previous point 580 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: we talked about in a previous hour, how dumb many 581 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: people are working sports and they buy the marketing like 582 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: there's my theory is they're so lazy that they just 583 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: like they don't do their homework and they just kind 584 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: of look at the oh, this agent's really selling this guy. 585 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: He's got the whole work, the whole package. Like Kyler 586 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: Murray had no business being the number one pick. He 587 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick in the draft because 588 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: they sold Kyler Murray he can't play. The guy's a 589 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: good gamer, he's not a good quarterback. But they were 590 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: able to sell the Cardinals because there are a bunch 591 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: of idiots there the draft again. And now JJ McCarthy 592 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: was not the top pick of the draft, but the 593 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: same concept applies where he had no business being a 594 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: first round pick. You look at his resume, he said, well, 595 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: they hardly threw at Michigan. You know, this is a 596 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: guy that should have been drafted in the fifth or 597 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: the sixth round. And even there, you're like, well, probably 598 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: not that great. All right, final point, we shift over 599 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: to pro bouncy ball. Why well, Lebron James. There was 600 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: a report making the rounds here that Lebron James is 601 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: insisting through his posse that he doesn't no, does not 602 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: know if he will retire from the Lakers after this 603 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: current NBA season, a story that was conveniently leaked by 604 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: Camp Lebron, letting the world know that this could that's 605 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: a weasel word. Could be Lebron's last season. However, he's 606 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: undecided who me, yes, you undecided there, and he might 607 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: feel even more responsibility to play in every game because 608 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: he's God's gift to basketball every game. And if it 609 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: was like a retirement tour situation, So let us talk 610 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: about this one the question, what are the chances, what 611 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: are the chances that Lebron James skips out on a 612 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: retirement tour, that he just quietly retires at the end 613 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: of this season and says, I'm gone, I'm going fishing. 614 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: I know this a really good lake back back in 615 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: Ohio I love and I'm just gonna go to that 616 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: lake and that's just gonna be it. And that's all. Yeah. 617 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: So the malaradds the Ben Malor Show malarods from the 618 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: Malor Sports Book.

Yeah, 625 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Lebron James is not Tim Duncan. Tim 626 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: Duncan snuck out the fire escape at the Spurs facility 627 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: wearing dad jeans and holding a Windy's Frosty Lebron. Ain't 628 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: that that's not Lebron. No, no, no, no. This is 629 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: the quintessential prima Donna Lebron James. He's addicted to the spotlight. 630 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: He's made tons and tons of money doing it. He 631 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: hears a basketball bounce, bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy, and 632 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: the camera lens open up. It's who he is. He 633 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: is not built. Lebron is not built for an Irish goodbye. 634 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm not Irish, but I love the Irish goodbye.
