It's piping hot out of the audio oven. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: We head to Lost Wages, Nevada. Rumors flying that the 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys were trying to acquire Max Crosby. Now there's 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: a report that says the Raiders have let Max Crosby 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: know they do not plan on shopping him. The indication 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: is he'll stay in Vegas. Does the Raiders seal of 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: approval mean that Max Crosby is indeed going to stay 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: with the Raiders the trade deadline less than two weeks away? Also, 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: how should the Raiders handle Jacoby Myers, the wide receiver 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: who does not want to be there? And in basketball, 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: NBC executives going to the Wall Street Journal are said 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: to be unhappy with the NBA deal. Why is this 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: being reported as news. I'll give you my thoughts on 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: that right now. It's our number two, the Max attack 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: or is it a Max attack?

As we start out with the 40 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: auctioning block. We are now less than two weeks away, 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: less than two weeks away from the swap meet ending 42 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. The trade deadline, which for most of 43 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: my life has been nothing special, nothing special. Lately, it's 44 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: gotten a little bit better. At Devonte Adams traded last year. 45 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: That was kind of cool. Didn't work out for the 46 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: Jets team making a move with the name brand player. 47 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: We've had some other name brand players traded in recent years. So, 48 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: with that being said, the news out of Lost Wages, Nevada, 49 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and that is where we will begin. If you have 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: not heard yet, there were rumors bubbling up, bubbling up 51 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: about the Dallas Cowboys being on the prowl and they 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: wanted Max Crosby. They wanted Max Crosby, and they were 53 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: pursuing Max Crosby in a trade. Well, now we have 54 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: learned that the Raiders met with Max Crosby, star edge rusher, 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: and they let him know, we are not shopping you, Max, 56 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: and we are not going to trade you. This comes 57 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: from the prob the news service of the NFL state 58 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: sponsored NFL network. They report that the Raiders are not interested. 59 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: We are not interested in moving Max Crosby. He's the 60 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: top player on the Raiders, and Crosby wants to stay 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: as a loser apparently like lou U wants to stay 62 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: with the Raiders, enjoys not having to worry about playing 63 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and things like that. So that is 64 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, 65 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: does this Raiders seal of approval and it's they rubber 66 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: stamped it the seal of approval? Does this mean that 67 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: Max Crosby is absolutely one thousand percent staying with the Raiders? 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: All right, so on this one, I've got Civil War 69 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: four seasons and gift basket and we will combine all 70 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: of these things together and we with the biscuit in 71 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: the basket is what we're going to do. So number one, 72 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: got it? Got it? So this does not change anything 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: unless you're naive. Well, the Raiders said they weren't going 74 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: to trade him, and if they said they're not gonna 75 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: trade him, they're not going to trade him, and all that's, 76 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: oh my god, all the ra said, and all the 77 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: story was that they leaked. The story that was leaked 78 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: was we aren't shopping Max Crosby. It's not that if 79 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: somebody calls us up and is the Godfather offer, make 80 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: him an offer he can't refuse. Then all of a sudden, 81 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: Max Crosby is changing his laundry and going somewhere else. 82 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: So it's a nice little sentiment to send out. The 83 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Raiders didn't say we're not trading Crosby. They're just said 84 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: we're not trading him unless somebody blows the doors off 85 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: the building and wants him traded. The price tags pretty high. 86 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: The price tag's pretty high, and that's just a sales pitch. 87 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: It's like, well, we don't want to trade this person 88 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: at all, and so Max Crosby, if you keep it real, 89 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: that's all we do is keep it really. The guy 90 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: is the ethos of the Raiders. He just is right. 91 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: He's got the look, he's got the attitude, he's got 92 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: the tats, the black Hole energy, all that stuff. When 93 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: you think of the Raiders, the old Raiders, back when 94 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: they were good, you gotta be old. And now I 95 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: think about that, you gotta be like an old dude 96 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: to know that the Raiders were good. How pathetic is that? 97 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: How much does that suck? That the Raiders haven't been 98 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: relevant in almost an entire generation. They don't like the 99 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys are over a generation. The Raiders aren't 100 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: far behind that rich Gannon Raider team. And then, of 101 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: course we know what happened in the Super Bowl there 102 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: didn't go so well. But back to Max Crosby. So 103 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: Crosby's got the look, he's right out of Central casting, 104 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: and he's got that whole attitude. However, if you think 105 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: about this objectively, if the goal is to win it, 106 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: keep in mind that we like to talk about everyone 107 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: wants to win super Bowls. It's an ugly secret that 108 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: not everyone really cares. They just want to make a 109 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: lot of money, and they want to live in a 110 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: city they like living in, and they want to do 111 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: their time, get in the pension, playing in the NFL, 112 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: and just be done. So they're not really that concerned 113 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: about winning. But if let's just assume Max Crosby is 114 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: somebody that does want to win, I need no way 115 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: I want to win. By the time the Raiders are 116 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: even remotely relevant, Max Crosby is going to be like 117 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: a Civil War relic, if you know what I mean. 118 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: He's twenty eight, I believe right now, Crosby, he's a 119 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: defensive end, not exactly a long shelf life. It's just not. 120 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: This is not a canister of honey that has an 121 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: endless shelf life. There's no expiration date. Now that this 122 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: is bread. It's fresh bread, not slice bread. It's fresh bread. 123 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: And so that's it. And how many double digit seasons 124 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: will Max Crosby have four or five years from now 125 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: when the Raiders are actually possibly competitive? And Tom Brady, 126 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: let's go back to Tom Brady. Tom Brady's little silver 127 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: and black side hustle. How's that working out? Burn, baby, burn, 128 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: and it's burning down right in front of our eyes. 129 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Thirty one nothing lost. The team quit on Pete Carroll. 130 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: You don't lose thirty one nothing if you're trying. And 131 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs called off the dogs arf they called them off. 132 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: Could have been worse, could have been worse. So that 133 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: is a gutlass football team. They've quit on their coach. 134 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: And that's under Tom Brady. That's under Tom Brady. Everything 135 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has touched since he got to Vegas has 136 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: turned to pooh. It just hands, not pooh, Richardson, actual pooh. 137 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: From Pete Carroll the coach, the players quit on him. 138 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, the quarterback who sucks and they thought maybe 139 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: Brady thought this was twenty nineteen or something like that, 140 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: or twenty twenty two. I don't know, but it's not. 141 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: And so you look at the Raiders right now from 142 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: thirty thousand feet in the sky, and you examine what's 143 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: going on there, and Brady has pulled off a masterclass. 144 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't own the majority of the Raiders. He's been 145 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: given the de facto GM title where he's shadow running 146 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders, which means if the raid are good, Brady 147 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: will get credit. If they're bad, he'll blame other people. 148 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: That spy tech guy, his buddy, blame him. But the 149 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Raiders are a great content machine, and Brady's been able 150 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: to light the franchise on fire, said Burn, Baby Burn, 151 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: like he's got a zippo and a can of gasoline 152 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: and just going for it. And if I'm the Lions, 153 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: let me just workshop this. If I'm the Detroit Lions 154 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: and I'm Dan Campbell and I'm all about biting kneecaps 155 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: off and all that stuff every game. You look at Crosby, 156 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: he's a Michigan guy. Didn't go to University of Michigan 157 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: in Michigan State. He went to Eastern Michigan, which is 158 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: the ugly redheaded stepchild of the Michigan colleges. Bring him 159 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: back to Michigan. Who says, no, could you imagine putting 160 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: Max Crosby and Aiden Hutchinson together and the Lions? This 161 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: is the window of opportunity, This is it. This is 162 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: the time for the Detroit Lions. So who cares about 163 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: first round picks? I trade a first round draft pick 164 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: and a conditional draft pick whatever to get Max Crosby. 165 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: Who wouldn't. My god, you put those guys together and 166 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: it's a championship or bust. And it's that way anyway. 167 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: If you're a team like the Patriots and you're like, 168 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: can we do a combo deal? Can we trade for 169 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: Max Crosby and get Jacoby Myers and we'll trade you 170 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks and that'll be that, And 171 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, for sure, let's do it. Let's make that happen. 172 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: And so by no means just because the Patriots said 173 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: we are not shopping Max Crosby doesn't mean he won't 174 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: be traded. And if you don't agree with me, you 175 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: might want to go back a few years ago, there 176 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: was a player named Odell Beckham, and the general manager 177 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: of the Giants, guy named Dave Gettleman, sounds like he 178 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: should be doing commercials for air conditioning. And he said, 179 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: we're not trading Odell Beckham. And then they traded Odell 180 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: Beckham to the Cleveland Browns, and yeah, that worked out 181 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: well for everyone involved. Now, speaking of Jacoby Myers, but 182 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: turning the page, but we don't turn it that far. 183 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: We keep it close to what we were talking about. 184 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: So Jacoby Myers was asked if he still wants to 185 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: be traded. You might remember before the season, Myers let 186 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: the world know he was not happy with the Raiders. 187 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: He didn't want to play with Gino Smith. Although he 188 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: didn't say that, the implication was that he doesn't like 189 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: playing with Gino Smith, so he wanted out. And he 190 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: was asked to follow up the trade deadlines less than 191 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: two weeks away. All right, you make the call, Jacoby Myers, 192 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: do you still want to be traded? He said, two 193 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: words for sure, for sure towards so question, how should 194 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders handle Jacoby Myers and his disgust with playing 195 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: in Vegas? So this is not a ballplayer that you 196 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: must have. Can we establish that? As like the opening statement, Yeah, 197 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: these a nice player. Once a player goes public like that, 198 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: very rarely does it end nicely. Very rarely does it 199 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: end nicely. We all know that, and it sounds like 200 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: a guy that's just not engaged. You can't put the 201 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: toothpaste back in the tube, as we like to say 202 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: in these parts. You cannot do it. And so if 203 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders, I guess they can try to coddle him, 204 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend that they can try that. And don't 205 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: give me the fake group Hug I don't. I don't 206 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: not need the fake group Hug I died. Don't you 207 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: just ship him out? It's that's it. It's the four seasons, 208 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Bye bye baby from the four seasons. And Myers is 209 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: not a cornerstone. He's not. He's a good player, he's 210 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: a good receiver. He's a solid NFL receiver. He's on 211 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: a bad team. It's not needed. You just you don't. 212 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, having no money and eating rob 213 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: and noodles all the time and spending a couple grand 214 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: on golf clubs. You really don't need that. You really 215 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: don't need that, you know what I'm saying. You just don't. 216 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: So you're at a fork in the road, you're at 217 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: a turning point. And if you're the Raiders, you know, 218 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: it's like again if Jacobe Meyer's running drag roots from 219 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: from Geno Smith. Uh, just everything's toxic. You know, a 220 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: team like the Patriots would would give you something which 221 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: is not I'm not the draft pick guy. I'm the 222 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: wrong talk show host. If you love draft picks and 223 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: you get your pants down because of draft picks, I'm 224 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: not that guy. I don't really care about Jeffies. But 225 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: if the guy's not happy, it's like, who cares? You 226 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: can can you suck with him? You can suck without him, 227 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,479 Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter. All right, now, final point, quick, right, quick, right, 228 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: we go to the NBA. I am told by sources 229 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: close to the situation that the NBA season is underway. 230 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: The flag is up on the NBA season. I did 231 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: watch some of these games. I didn't think either one 232 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: of the games rose to the level of the Malard monologue. 233 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: So we will tell you the thunder squeezed by the Rockets, 234 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: your classic NBA game where Houston played really well, was 235 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: in control, not in control. They had the lead for 236 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: the first like two and a half quarters, of the game, 237 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: and the Rockets worked their way back. They went to overtime, 238 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: and then they went to another overtime and Shay Jogis 239 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Alexander scored twenty four points in the fourth quarter and 240 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: in overtime. We are told that is the most points 241 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: by any NBA player in the fourth quarter and overtime 242 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: in a season opener this century. So it's been a minute. 243 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: It's been a minute. How did Kevin Durantu pretty quiet 244 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: twenty three points? He only scored nine points in the 245 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: second half and in the overtimes combined. That's it nine. 246 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: So nine of his twenty three points came in the 247 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: second half, in overtime. At fourteen and a half time 248 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: finished with twenty three points. I'm told that's not good. 249 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: And the Golden State Warriors beating the bad guys. Good 250 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: job by the Warriors that beat the Lakers. Always loved 251 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: when the Lakers lose. Good day for basketball fans there. 252 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: When the Lakers lose, Lebron didn't play. He's probably read 253 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: reading that Malcolm X book or watching The Godfather, So 254 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: he didn't play. Jimmy Butler, is there anything more entertaining 255 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: than watching a manstreet foul? Shots sixteen of sixteen from 256 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: the charity stripe for Jimmy Butler, and he got it 257 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: done from the charity strip Now Luca had forty three 258 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: points the Lakers lose. How did DeAndre Ayton do? Mid 259 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: season form? For DeAndre? Eighton your classic stat line for 260 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: DeAndre Eaighton, the guy that's incompetent at basketball ten point 261 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: six rebounds, four turnovers, no assis and a big LOL 262 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: for DeAndre Ayton? How do you do now? The story 263 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: that did get my attention if you're watching the NBA, 264 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: it was on NBC and also on Peacock, the debut 265 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: of the NBA agreement. Now, we were told by the 266 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, that is a very bougie business newspaper 267 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: based in Manhattan. The Wall Street Journal tells us that 268 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: some NBC executives are sounding alarm bells, very dramatically, very 269 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: concerned that the networks deal with the NBA. They're just 270 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: not even make money. They give this huge card too 271 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: incisee check to the the NBA and they're not going 272 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: to get good ROI return on investment. So let us 273 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: discuss the question. NBA executives said to be unhappy. This 274 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: was before they even started the Games said to be 275 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: unhappy with the NBA deal. Why is this being reported 276 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: as news? That's my question. Why is this being reported 277 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: as news. This is spam, is what it is. It's 278 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: obviously a huge overpay. Even if you know nothing about finances, 279 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: you can't balance your own personal finances. We all know. 280 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: We every man, woman and child knows that this is 281 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: the way it works. I remember getting educated a person 282 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: that I was friends with in the you know, many 283 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: years ago. I won't I'll date myself if I say. 284 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: When he's an executive at ABC and they had just 285 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: won the bidding for this massive NFL contract, and I say, 286 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: what's going He said, well, we're gonna lose money on it. 287 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: We know that, but we're gonna get people to watch 288 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: our crappy sitcoms and that's what we're doing it for. 289 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: And okay, so you know going in you're gonna lose money. 290 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: He says, it's called the Lost Leader. I said, what's 291 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: a lost leader? Said, well, you lose money on this, 292 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: but you think you make it on the other side. 293 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: So NBC is paying twenty seven billion with a capital 294 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: B twenty seven billion for the privilege of losing up 295 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: to one point four billion in the early years for 296 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: their new shiny toy, the NBA. This is clearly why 297 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny got canceled by NBC. They had 298 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: to pay for the NBA. I'm bitter, How dare you? 299 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm bitter Benny? Spoiler alert. These things always work out 300 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: this way where you lose money on it always and again, 301 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: they're not buying basketball. It's being sold as basketball. They're 302 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: not buying basketball. They're buying subscriptions to Peacock and it's 303 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: a gift basket of hope. They know, like all of 304 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: these businesses, the key is a subscription based business because 305 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: a certain percentage of people will pay for a service 306 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: that is a monthly fee, and they're so bad about 307 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: their finances they will pay it until they put them 308 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: in the grave. They just forget about it. And these 309 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: businesses know a lot of the whole gym model. For examples, 310 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: you pay a monthly fee to go to the gym, 311 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: and many people don't go to the gym, but they 312 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: keep paying for the gym because they like the idea 313 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: of going to the gym, Like, well, I don't want 314 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: to cancel the gym because maybe I'll get my fat 315 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: ass to the gym, and so you keep paying for 316 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: the gym just on the off chance you're gonna go 317 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: work out when you never work out because you're a 318 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: fat pig and you don't want to work out. And 319 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: I get it. I'm the same way. But that's how 320 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: they get you. And so they know a certain percentage 321 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: of people are gonna sign up for Peacock and they're 322 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: not gonna ever watch it doesn't matter. They're gonna get 323 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: a monthly fee. Drip drip drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, 324 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: drip drip, money money made. That's what they're gonna get. 325 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: So I do enjoy the very dramatic reporting, considering these 326 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: executives at NBC were the same ones that agreed to 327 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: the Giant deal in the first place. It's kind of 328 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: like Woody Johnson we talked about last time. Woody Johnson 329 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: is like ripping Justin Fields, which is correct. Woody Johnson's 330 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: absolutely right, Justin Fields is incompetent, but he also agreed 331 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: he signed up to say, oh but okay, with that 332 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: guy's my quarterback, It's like, oh okay, Like NBC is like, 333 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: we'll give the nbal's money. Now they're like, well, I 334 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: don't like of course. The other argument is you can 335 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: always find people that don't like something. I'm sure you 336 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 1: could if you wanted to write this story, if you're 337 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, you could find a group of 338 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: NBA executives or NBC executives that love the NBA deal 339 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: think it's great. It's a slam dunk. But that's not 340 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: as good a story. It's better to find the people 341 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: that are upset, which likely are news people because they 342 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: cut the news budget from what I read in one 343 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: of the trade papers, so they're likely upset about that. 344 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: So don't we pretend to be shocked. Oh I'm so shocked. 345 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: Oh my god. That is a sport, the NBA. And 346 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: we'll get into it when the playoffs come around. We'll 347 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: talk about it if there's a good story. I'm not against that. 348 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 1: It's not my favorite thing. I'm not really excited about it. 349 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: But they've had sagging regular season television ratings for years. 350 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: That's been consistent, and so they're not gonna be able 351 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: to cover the tab on this, and NBC will pay 352 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: more for the NBA. This is amazing to me. They're 353 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: paying more for NBA games on a per game basis 354 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: than the NFL. And NBC's got the Sunday Night, the 355 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: most important game of the weekends on Sunday Night, and 356 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: they're paying more to broadcast Oklahoma City. It's like, okay, bonkers, bonkers, bonkers, 357 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: all right now. The NBA is where your stars rest 358 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: during the regular season. They're unengaged. They use load management 359 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: to rest during the regular season. The ratings do the 360 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: dipsy do, and the postseason stretches longer and longer and 361 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: longer and longer than a bad dinner part of your 362 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: wife took you to and you didn't want to go 363 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: to and you hate the people you're with, that kind 364 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: of thing, right in the end, In the end, the 365 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: league cash is the check no matter what, whether you 366 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: watch or not. NBC's got to deal with the headaches 367 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: and all that. But again, they're trying to get you 368 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: to subscribe, and they know a certain percentage of people 369 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: are just going to subscribe, set it and forget it, 370 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: and pay that every month even though they don't use 371 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: the service. And I got to figure out how to 372 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: get on that hustle, Like what can I do to 373 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: get in in that hustle. Will you just blindly cut 374 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: money every month? That's the way to do it. It is 375 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: The Ben Mahlor Show.

He don't want to win 424 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: if you just stay with the Browns, Max Crosby, as 425 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: you said the same thing. If you really are worried 426 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: about winning, you would leave the Raiders the way they 427 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: have been run.

They look 435 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: terrible against Golden State The only healthy James on the 436 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: team is Bronnie. I've checked the schedule and I couldn't 437 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: find any wins. I'm yeah, that's not a bad take 438 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: for dark. No one else has that take. It does 439 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: not look like the Raiders or the Lakers rather are 440 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: going to win a game based on what I saw. 441 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: They have no momentum. They have the wrong momentum and 442 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: John Smoltz taught me about momentum, so they haven't won 443 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: a game.

Hey, listen, if people 604 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 7: like Max Crosby and Miles Garrett they want to play 605 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 7: on last place teams that have no direction, no chances 606 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 7: of winning a title anytime soon, some of these players 607 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 7: then they prefer just to be paid. They want the money. 608 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 7: They don't care about the jewelry that comes along with 609 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 7: the world title. There's countless baseball players, golfers, I mean, 610 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 7: you name the sport, there is a percentage of players 611 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 7: that don't care about winning a title. They may say 612 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 7: that in the public, but they really don't. They just 613 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 7: want that check. And you know, if you know Max 614 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 7: Crosby and Mahomes, they have this extra competitive spirit where 615 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 7: outside of the lines they do charity work together on 616 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 7: the you know, on the outside of football, but once 617 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 7: they get in on the field, you know, they give 618 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 7: each other one hundred percent, which is awesome. His career 619 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 7: is just dying in Las Vegas. I think Miles Garrett 620 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 7: is dying in Cleveland. People like that that we know 621 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 7: could be Hall of famers. 622 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: He's starting to get in the Hall of Fame. It's 623 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: the championships, a team accomplishment. I think the term you're 624 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: looking for, the clinical term DJ Mike is a floater. 625 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: It's guys that just get into the building, just coast along, 626 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: they float along. They're floaters. You don't want too many floaters. Yeah, 627 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: that's yeah. 628 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 7: And one more thing, I'll let you go. My Chiefs 629 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 7: are three and one since my son started listening to 630 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 7: the podcast. 631 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: That's right, baby, the Power of the Overnight Show, which 632 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: is a podcast for your son. There and DJ Mike. 633 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: Look at that, the good vibration. I think it's related 634 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: to your son listening to the podcast. I think that's 635 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: very similar to those two things. There is a correlation 636 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: between these two things. So now your son cannot stop 637 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, otherwise the Chiefs will start losing. 638 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 7: That's right.
