But anyway, so you had Rosier, you had Billups. 78 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: They were among thirty people who had a really bad day. 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: Thirty people had. 80 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: Really you think you had a bad Thursday, They had 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 2: a worse Thursday.

The NBA and the Mob. 84 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: Hello, now again, this is the version of the FBI. 85 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: They don't bat a thousand, but they bat about nine hundred. 86 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: So cardingly, the FBI these schemes. Boy, this is good reading, man, 87 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: This is good reading, is what this is. So one 88 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: of them focused on insider sports betting, another that rigged 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: poker games coast, stuck coast and bordered the border, and 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: this went on for years, involving they claimed tens of 91 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: millions of dollars. Now, remember the problem the Feds have 92 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: with gambling illegally is they don't get a cut of 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: the money, right, they don't get the Yeah, they're not paying. 94 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: Taxes on that. 95 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: Of course, from what I read as I understand the story, 96 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: there's also some very wealthy people that got their pants 97 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: pulled down in this and they're not happy about it. 98 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: So those things together create the situation we have now 99 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: where there's tens of millions of dollars of illicit gains. 100 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: Wire fraud, that's what they couldn't remember that. 101 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: I remember in a book years ago about how they 102 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: took down the mob right wire fraud, that was the 103 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: thing right before that. They couldn't take down the mone 104 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, all the big hits there, 105 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: and of course gambling. 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. It's a massive, 107 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: massive story. 108 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question, what was your initial 109 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: reaction to Trailblazer's coach Chauncey Bilts and heat guard Terry 110 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: Roseier both being arrested by the NBA? 111 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: All right, so that's the question. 112 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: So I've got Einstein Brothers, Apollo Theater, and Farmers Market. 113 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: We're gonna mix all of these things together, and we're 114 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: gonna make a three team parlay.

You got Rosier, you know, based 173 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: on what I read here, telling the mob that if 174 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: you believe the FBI story, and again it's a version 175 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 2: of the truth, not the whole truth, but Rosier telling 176 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: the mob, Hey, I'm gonna fake an injury so you 177 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: guys can hit the under on the on the prop bets. 178 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: Which you know, I don't know what I just do 179 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: an overnight show, do I know? But that doesn't seem 180 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: very subtle. 181 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: It's like walking into the casino wearing a neon sign 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: that says I'm fixing the game I'm playing over here, 183 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: you know. 184 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: Hello. 185 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't some tiki tac violation. This is the 186 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 2: doomsday scenario for the for the NBA. And it's it's 187 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: funny because obviously I like gambling. I think adults should 188 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: be able to gamble. This is obviously part of the deal. 189 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to deal with this kind of stuff 190 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: from time to time. But you know, it's just this 191 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: is what the commissioners for years, Oh, you cut out 192 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: have gambling, this is the worst thing in the world. 193 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: And all stuff. 194 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden they saw the checks 195 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: that they got from gambling and oh, yeah, we're fine, 196 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: but this is the worst not the worst case. I 197 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: guess the worst case scenario would be we like the 198 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: Chicago black socks scandal from back back in the day. 199 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: But nonetheless, uh, you know, it's been been like they've 200 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: been pretending this can't happen and all that stuff, and 201 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: well it's it's happened. 202 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: So now it's real. 203 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: And this is gonna make one hell of a great 204 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: Netflix true crime doc and I'm in on it. I 205 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: will watch every episode. I will binge watch it, binge 206 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: watch it. I don't normally binge watch. I can't sit 207 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: there for that long. I have to go do stuff, 208 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 2: but I will binge watch. And this is still in 209 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: progress right now. And you know, who knows what to 210 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: believe if people are sending me messages this, you know, 211 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: naming certain people they think are are gonna come chopping 212 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: down next. And the theory is these guys were not alone. 213 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: This was not a one off situation where normally these 214 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: guys hang out with other friends who are from former 215 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: employees they worked with or whatever, and former co workers 216 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: are basketball players or current basketball players. 217 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: So there's some people. 218 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: Right now who know these gentlemen and know they might 219 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: be on some kind of list or something like that 220 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 2: that are not sleeping. 221 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: We'd like to welcome them to the mal or militia. 222 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: And I don't know what they're gonna call the Netflix 223 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: true crime doc maybe whack Jobs and point guards or 224 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: something like that. But you can get the ominous piano 225 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: music playing and all that, and imagine a world where 226 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: the unders hit early and the FBI hits earlier. 227 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. I think that she could work. Yeah, 228 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: I think that it would work. 229 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. But you guys, strap in there, 230 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: because this is this is not going away. This is 231 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: a nuke in Adam Silver's lap. And the chatter again, 232 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: the chatter who knows what's right not? You know, nobody 233 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: knows anything, and people are people love to gossip and 234 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: they love for some reason they have to tell me crap. 235 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: I don't know why. What do I know? 236 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: They're claiming there's some other big fish, including a very 237 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: well known boxer who will be involved in this. 238 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: We'll see if that happens or not. 239 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: And I don't want to get sued, so I'm not 240 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: naming anyone at all. I know nothing. I see nothing. 241 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: I'm not naming anyone. You can figure it out on 242 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: your own. I don't feel I don't want to get sued, 243 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: So boom, there you go anyway turning the page, but 244 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: not far as we bite in to the meal and 245 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 2: there's a lot of meat on the bone. 246 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of meat on the bone. 247 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: So the headlines, which are just delicious, and this thing 248 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: has been blowing up all day long into the night now. 249 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: And one of the questions, I think it's a legitimate question, 250 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: and it's kind of the obvious one. It is like 251 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: you see these headlines, Oh my god, oh man, oh mercy. 252 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 2: You know, there's a big effing And so if you 253 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: get down to it, how much jail time are Terry 254 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: Rosier and Chauncey Billups actually facing? 255 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: How much are they actually facing? 256 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: So if let's just take out the mallor of machete 257 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: and cut through the dog and pony show. So the 258 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: FBI put on their own and pony show, right, that's 259 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: what they put on. 260 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: You know, that's a big deal, high profile arrests. 261 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: Law enforcement loves it because it gets a lot of 262 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: attention and people love to talk about it and makes 263 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: them look good. 264 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: And so the FBI loves when they can. 265 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: Nail the the big ragou, and so this is good 266 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: for them. But you hear these very big numbers being 267 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: tossed around, you read different things, and you're like, well, 268 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: social media facing up to ten years or up to 269 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: twenty years in jail and that part of it. 270 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: And maybe I'll be wrong on this. I might be 271 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: wrong on this. 272 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: However, it is my theory that those early reports are 273 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: a trip to the Apollo Theater, and there's a special 274 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: showing at the Apollo Theater. It's called Kabuki Theater er go, 275 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: It's it's all a mirage. Now my hot take, you 276 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: ready for Buckle up? Benny's hot take, first hour hot take, 277 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: when the dust settles. None of these cats, the in 278 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: terms of Billups and Rosier, are gonna do real hard time. 279 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Now. 280 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: It's easy for me to say, you know, we've got 281 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: guys that are incarcerated listening to the show. And I 282 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: know our buddy in Pennsylvania who's he's getting out from Chicago. 283 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: He's getting oounced at some point here, not that far away, 284 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: but he's doing some serious time. You know. I would 285 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: for me, serious time would be like, you know, a day. Now, 286 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: that would be that would be pretty bad. 287 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen here is the lawyers are gonna 288 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: get a bag. 289 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: Everyone else will be given the opportunity to sing like 290 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: a canary. And before you know it, these guys are 291 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: going to be having cocktails in Cancun. And remember up 292 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: to up to is a classic weasel phrase. Now, the 293 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: first domino to fall in this story was Johntay Porter 294 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: of the Toronto Raptors formerly and he hasn't been sentenced yet. 295 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: He's going to be sentenced in December, and so he's 296 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: looking at here we are in late October. 297 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: He's looking at up to four years. 298 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: However, it is believed that he snitched, which likely led 299 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: likely possibly led to what we have going on the 300 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: last twenty four hours. He gave the right names up 301 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: and so he'll likely get a sweetheart deal. As for 302 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: Billups and Rosier, they're not exactly El Chapo, if you 303 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying on that. So they are celebrities. 304 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: Billups a bigger name, but he is he's a former celebrity. 305 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: You don't have a star when you're coaching the Trailblazers. 306 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: And Rosiers and roster spam at this point, so their accessories. 307 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: Though in a gambling ring, you gotta find a way 308 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: if your billups to blame the interpreter, right, it's always 309 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: the joke here, Just find a way. Say I have 310 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: an interpreter who he interprets the Italian mob for me. 311 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: That's the silver Bullet. Otani's playing in the World Series 312 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: on Friday Night, and he was involved in one of 313 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: these stories. Now, the worst case is these guys get 314 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: sent inced a couple of years in jail or something 315 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: like that. But realistically, you're gonna get a little jail 316 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: time at club fed and then some probation. You're gonna 317 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: have to pay a big fine and all that, and 318 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: your reputation is trashed. And that's what's gonna happen. But 319 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: when they just you know, they have to update their 320 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: passport to find a new gig, and you can go 321 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: coach in Vatican City. I think there's a team called 322 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: the Vocaro's in Vatican City or the Monaco mad Men 323 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: or something like that. But the only people guaranteed to 324 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: win here Again, to the lawyers, they always win. They 325 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: always win, they do all right. Last word, So we 326 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: go down thirty thousand feet in the sky, and we 327 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: asked the question for the esteem panel, what is the 328 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: fallout from this latest wrinkle in the NBA gambling underworld, 329 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: if you will, So, what is the fallout on this? Well, 330 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: the streets have been talking, and there's and we're gonna 331 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: talk about as we go through the overnight. But we're 332 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: hearing the you know, Congress is already there's people trying 333 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: to get some free publicity like, well, we're gonna, we're 334 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 2: gonna look at this and so that to me, that 335 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: is Congress is going to ride in on their white 336 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: horse and save America from prop bets. There'll be special 337 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: hearings on Capitol Hill and this is rather obvious stuff here. 338 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: Lawmakers are going to drag Adam Silver, Roger Goodell, rob Manfraud, 339 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: and Gary Bettman, the four horsemen of the gambling Apocalypse, 340 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 2: to DC.

Here's the ironic part. 344 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: If you play this out and looking at this logic, 345 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: can't tell me if I'm wrong or not. 346 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong on this.

They're 354 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 2: just pushing it back to the to the alley behind 355 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: the sub shop. Seriously, if if the US, if Congress 356 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 2: bans prop bets, okay, the mob throws a welcome home party. 357 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 2: Doctor Vinnie Boombots has got balloons and Canoli's waiting. 358 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: Come on down, and don't fool yourself. 359 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: The props are have become the lifeblood of modern gambling. 360 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: And you take that away, the action is not gonna stop. 361 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: It's not It's just gonna go underground.

Thing. 586 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: But the thing about the Feds, and it's one of 587 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 2: the great quotes of all time from Bino Cook, the 588 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: old long ago a college football guy, long long. 589 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: Gone, Bino Cook. 590 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: But Bino Cook once said the greatest line about the Feds. 591 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: They never have a road game, and they are the 592 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: favorites every single time they go to trial, and they 593 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: cover just about every time. You know, it's like they 594 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: have home field advantage and they're favored to win, and 595 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: they win, what is it eighty ten percent of the 596 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: time when they go to to trial.
