Nonetheless, did you see this? 59 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: No? 60 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: All right, so the news came out if you missed it, 61 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: The NBA is on the verse. They're this close. You 62 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: can't see my fingers, but they're this close. The NBA 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: to adding not one, but two teams later this month 64 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: here in the month of March. The league, we've learned, 65 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: will hold a secret ballot, which will not be that secret. 66 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna hold a ballot to vote for in the 67 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: next owners meetings. They changed that the NBA because Raymond 68 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Green was offended. He didn't like the word owner, so 69 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: they use Board of Governors, which is so stupid. They're owners, 70 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: They own the team. That's what they are. If you 71 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: don't like it, then that's a u problem. Anyway. The 72 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: owner meetings what will take place March twenty fourth through 73 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: the fifteenth, So today is Saint Patti's Day. Happy Saint 74 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Patty's is or a week away from this taking place. Now, 75 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: regarding the addition of expansion teams, the noise is that 76 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: they're not having this open for random cities to say, hey, 77 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: we'd like to host an NBA team. No, no, no, 78 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: They've already handpicked Las Vegas, law ost Wage's, Nevada and 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: Seattle as the two franchises that would join the NBA. 80 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: The targeted debut would be in the twenty twenty eight 81 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: twenty nine season. Look at the calendar, you say, well, 82 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty six. That's only a couple of years 83 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: away from adding not one but two teams to the NBA. 84 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: They would have to move and shuffle teams around. It'd 85 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: be a couple of teams currently in the West that 86 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: would go to the East. And the chatter includes possibilities 87 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans, Memphis, the Minnesota Timberwolves as possibilities to go 88 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference. You would think they would all 89 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: be lining up to go to the Eastern Conference because 90 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: that is the Marshmallow Conference. Like if if you're in 91 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: one of those teams that's kind of in the middle 92 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: there of the country, it could go either way. You'd 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: want to be in the East because that's where the 94 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: lightweights are, don't You want to beat up the lightweights 95 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: and then only have to play one really good team 96 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: in the finals to win a championship. But nonetheless the NBA, 97 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: according to sham Sharani, things are progressing. The teams will 98 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: be charged. The expansion teams will get a seven to 99 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: ten billion dollar charge. That's quite the surch charge. That's 100 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: an extra roughly twenty billion dollars that will be sliced 101 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: and diced among the thirty members of the cartel of 102 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: the NBA. So let us discuss the question that's good 103 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what message? 104 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: What message is the NBA sending by preparing to add 105 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: the Seattle and Vegas franchises. And it seems like this 106 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: is a FATA complete. It's going to happen in the 107 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks that this will all be taking 108 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: care of. The teas will be crossed, the eyes will 109 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: be dotted unless something goes terribly wrong. So I've got 110 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: airport strategy, seminar, kitchen table, and taco bell and we 111 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are 112 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: going to make kettlecorn, which is next level from popcorn, 113 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: is kettle corn. And once you cross over and have 114 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: the kettlecorn, it's hard to just go back to popcorn. 115 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: It's amazing because it's covered in sugar. So number number 116 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: number right. So the message, let me tell you, I'm 117 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: a big message guy Malther. The message. So the message 118 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: here is from the classic sports movie from years ago. 119 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: It was a movie called Jerry McGuire. In fact, that 120 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: one of the guys that was in that movie worked 121 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: here as a talk show host, Jay Moore, and it 122 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: was not his character, but the character that made it famous. 123 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: Show me the money, Show me the money. This has 124 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: been simmering for at least a decade. I heard back 125 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: when I used to go and I don't go to 126 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: these NBA games anymore, but back in the day when 127 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: I did, there were people that came up and said, listen, 128 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: this is the plan. They're gonna Seattle's definitely getting a team. 129 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: They'd like to put a team in Vegas. That's the plan. 130 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: We're talking a decade ago, we're talking over it. Probably 131 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: more like fifteen years ago. This was being talked about. 132 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: This was going to be the plan, and so it's 133 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: been simmering on the back burner, and they turned the 134 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: burner down. But it's on the back burner and now 135 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here we are and it's still 136 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: moving at DMV level speed, like the line at the DMV. 137 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: And it's a cash grab. That's what this is. There's 138 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: no other way to describe, which is fine. Just admit it, Andy, 139 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: this is a cash grab. This is easy money. We 140 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: got the TV contract square away. Who knows what's going 141 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: to happen next time the TV contract comes up. So 142 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: this is easy money. We don't have to share this 143 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: with the players. It's all our money and it's a windfall. 144 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: It's a bonanza for the owners, So why not. It's 145 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: not about basketball, it's about the expansion revenue. That's just 146 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: found money. It's like adding a couple of seats to 147 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: the broken roller coaster. Come on, you're part of the roller. 148 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: It's not working that great, but you're part of it. 149 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: Think about that, a business where half the teams aren't 150 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: even trying to win, and you've brainwashed some of your customers. 151 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: They're so stupid, they're like, well, that seems to make 152 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: sense that teams aren't trying to win. I support that, Like, 153 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: think about how backwards that is on every level. That 154 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: is the NBA, that is the modern NBA, and they're 155 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: looking to add teams because they want cash. But if 156 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: you look at this from a pure basketball standpoint, you'd say, 157 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: what are we doing? This is a roller coaster that 158 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: is not working right. It's a risk and the league, again, 159 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: half the teams are not even trying. You've got imagine 160 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: a building with the paint peeling on the building, there's 161 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: some broken windows, and these teams are tanking. It's like 162 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: they all went to the same airport strategy seminar. They 163 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: went to a seminar at the airport and they all say, oh, 164 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: here's what you do. You know how like fast food restaurants, 165 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, chicken tenders or chicken sandwiches became 166 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: the thing, and like everyone had to have a chicken sandwich, 167 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: fried chicken sandwich. And there's certain things these seminars. These 168 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: guys go to these get togethers and they're like, okay, 169 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: you got to sell this, and everyone's like, okay, we'll 170 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: be in lockstep. Well, these NBA teams, it's all ping 171 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: pong ding dong. They're all a bunch of ding dongs 172 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: playing for the ping pong balls, is what they are. 173 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: And originally it was kind of cute. Okay, Now everyone 174 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: who's not trying to win, which is half the teams, 175 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: are playing the suck and draft strategy. The suck and 176 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: draft strategy when you build a culture of losing, you 177 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: lose games, you get some lottery balls and that doesn't 178 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: work out, and then you rinse, wash and repeat, and 179 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: now you're inviting the Seattle and Vegas franchises to join 180 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: the group. Chat of dysfunction, Come on down. The price 181 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: is right, that's the culture. And doesn't it seem like 182 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: Vegas would have been great ten years ago? Also not now. 183 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: I still enjoy going to Vegas. I don't like going 184 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: to the strip very much. And I got friends in 185 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Vegas who lived there. I got family that lives in Vegas. 186 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: I go there quite a bit. But it's not a 187 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: great town right now. The parking'st outrageous. They price gadge 188 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: their customers. It's embarrassing what that town has become. And 189 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: hopefully someone will get a clue and they'll change Vegas 190 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: around and make it Maybe the mob can come back 191 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: in and run Vegas and make it good again, because 192 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: it sucks right now. And I was told by somebody 193 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: in Vegas the reason they one of the reasons they 194 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: started charging for parking on the strip was because of 195 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: the NHL that they put the NHL team. There's an 196 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: arena right behind New York New York in the middle 197 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: of the strip, and they're like, we can't have a 198 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: hockey team without parking revenue, and so okay, we'll start 199 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: charging for parking and then we have to charge it 200 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: all the hotels because otherwise people just walk. They'll park 201 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: far away and they'll walk, and we won't get the revenue. Okay, 202 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: so now everyone's charging and it's embarrassing. And then and 203 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: the NBA and plus the NBAB the last team in 204 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the last team because I that year. I believe the 205 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: a's if they ever get that thing done, the athletics 206 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: will be in there. So the hockey team's been there, 207 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders have been there. You're gonna add a baseball 208 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: team and a basketball team. Okay, there you go. Now, 209 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: as far as the whole mindset that some have said, well, 210 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: the talent delution, this is a big problem. The dilution 211 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: of talent in THEA is not enough good players to 212 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: go around. Well, the product again, it's already deluded. Load 213 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: management is king, that's Adam Silver's baby load management and 214 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: all that. I would argue, though, if teams actually were 215 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: committed to trying to win, the product would not be 216 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: as bad as it is. I believe that the product 217 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: the NBA has is a byproduct of the commitment to sucking, 218 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: and it just the whole thing is rotten. The whole 219 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: thing is rotten. And if you actually put a mindset 220 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: in that even these crappy teams that mathematically have no chance, 221 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: if they actually tried, if they coached up players, you'd 222 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: be amazed at how much better the product would be. 223 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Of Course, I'm just a boomer, I know, all right. Meanwhile, 224 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: keeping the ball bouncing. So we found out with Seattle 225 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: getting a team they're going to be called the SuperSonics, 226 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the Thunder, the team that was purchased as the Sonics 227 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: by an oil baron and moved to Seattle. The Thunder 228 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: would give up all of the records, the Supersonic records, 229 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: which were kind of theirs but not really. Those would 230 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: all go back to the Pacific Northwest. And we've seen 231 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: this before with the Charlotte Hornets and also with the 232 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: New Orleans Pelicans who were the old Charlotte Hornets. It's 233 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: all very confusing, all very confusing, but they just got 234 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: to keep the records and that's how that went. So 235 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the question what do you make of the plan for 236 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: the Sonics, the branding, the green and gold to return 237 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: to the NBA. What do you make of this? So 238 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: this is one thing we've been very critical. Get paid 239 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: to be a critic very critical of Adam Silver. We've 240 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: taken ourtuas cheap shots at Adam Silver in the NBA. 241 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: This is something the NBA actually got right. And I'll 242 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: be Benny Bright said on this one. They got it right. 243 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: You write it down, you know, man bites dog. NBA 244 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: got something right. They got it right. You know, alert 245 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: the authorities. You might want to wake up the village elders. 246 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: They got it right. They did. Adam Silver, the guy 247 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: that we roast as a lizard person in a tailored 248 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: suit from somewhere outside the Milky Way galaxy, is finally 249 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: stumbled onto something here where this is good. And he's 250 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: done it now a couple of times. But the basic 251 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: common sense, basic common sense, the Sonic brand belongs in Seattle, period, 252 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: full stop. It does. And when I become the almighty, 253 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: all powerful death spot of sports, which will happen sooner 254 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: than you think, and I'm in charge, and I'm in 255 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: the catbird seat when I am in charge, mark my words. 256 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,119 Speaker 1: Right now. You move a franchise, you relocate a franchise 257 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: in a money grab, you get that tax money, and 258 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: you leave the name, you leave the colors, you leave 259 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: the history, all of that leave it right on the 260 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: kitchen table. The Chicago Bears, if they move to Indiana, 261 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: they're no longer the Chicago Bears. But it's just across 262 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: it's a few miles away. I don't care. You lose 263 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: the name, do it? Would you still do it? Would 264 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: you think the Chicago Bears would move across the state 265 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: line there in Indiana if they had to change the name. 266 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: And I would have had the Giants and Jets change 267 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: their name they play in New Jersey. I don't care. 268 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: If it's across the way you move, that's it. Those 269 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: are the rules. I'm the boss. You're cooked. That's the 270 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: way that goes at be across board, NFL, major League Baseball, NHL, 271 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: all of it. And you know, don't drag the ghost 272 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: of a sports team's past like some kind of stolen 273 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: some weirdo steals a family album. I was like, well, no, 274 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: that needs nothing to you. You're not part of that family. 275 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: You don't need those photos. Get out of here with that, 276 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: and so Seattle. By the time this team comes back 277 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: to the NBA in twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine, 278 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: it will have been nearly twenty years. I mean almost 279 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: exactly twenty years since the Sonics were taken away and 280 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: moved to Oklahoma City. There and like a proud old mansion. 281 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: Well we'll live again, and they'll fix the windows, some 282 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: paint and all that and the whole thing. Bring all 283 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: of it back, the green and the gold. I want 284 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: every Sonic legend, dead or alive, to be celebrated, whether 285 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: it's the X Man, Xavier McDaniel, Tom Chambers, Gary Payton, 286 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: Nate McMillan, Jack Sikma, Ray, Allen Dale, Ellis Downtown, Freddie Brown, 287 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't care. Bring them all back, dead or alive, 288 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: and celebrate the old old Sonics and that's it. And 289 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: don't forget the mascots. Now, the original mascot. A lot 290 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: of people don't know this because it's been a long time. 291 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: You've forgotten. Maybe you weren't alive when it happened. The 292 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: original Sonics mascot was Wheedle on the needle, Wheedle on 293 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: the needle. Now, after that that mascot was retired. Then 294 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: they brought in Squatch for sasquatch, so they had that. 295 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: Bring back the mascots. I'd have both of them. Who 296 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: says no? And power to the people. Why not all right. Now, 297 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: final point to the gambling market of the NFL. The 298 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: gambling market of the NFL. The updated updated odds, updated odds, 299 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: and Sean mcvay's Rams are now plus seven hundred. They 300 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: are the betting favorite. The offseason has adjusted the odds 301 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: and the Rams are the betting favorite to win Super 302 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: Bowls sixty one. Let me repeat that for those of 303 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: a little slow The La Rams are now the betting favorite, 304 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: LA grabbing the top spot on the updated odds after 305 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: the free agency in the first round of trades, keeping 306 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the core of the team intact, the 307 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: team that won that Fluke Super Bowl. The Seahawks are 308 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: at plus nine point fifty, followed by the Buffalo Bills, 309 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: the Ravens, and for some reason, the Chargers. Can we 310 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: just stop with the Chargers? Can justin Herbert sucks? Can 311 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: we just stop with the Chargers? Please? The guy's a 312 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: regular season player, he can't get it done in the playoffs. 313 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: He's a fraud. And yet I got to hear about 314 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: the Chargers being great and all that stuff. Anyway, and 315 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: then you got the Chiefs and the forty nine Ers 316 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: after that plus sixteen hundred question do the Rams the 317 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: La Rams do. They deserve to be the team to 318 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: beat based on the gambaing odds they are so I 319 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: wonder rubber stamp this. I notarize it, I send it 320 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: FedEx overnight. I'm right there. The Rams are walking in 321 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: and there's still moves to be made. Obviously, had the 322 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: draft and all that, but the Rams are walking into 323 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: next season right now like a Hollywood reboot with a 324 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: bigger budget and a better group of special effects, and 325 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be awesome. It's just gonna be awesome. Now. 326 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: The weakest link the Rams had. They had bad special teams, 327 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: and their secondary was not very good. They've addressed all 328 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: of those things and we haven't even gotten to the draft. 329 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: The secondary. They went on the prow. They raided Arrowhead Stadium, 330 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: the stockpile the Chiefs had of defensive backs, and they 331 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: got them not on the cheap. They were expensive. Trent 332 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: McDuffie's the highest paid defensive back in the NFL. Now 333 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: they got him and his buddy. And so that is 334 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: how you treat a leaky boat, all right. They didn't 335 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: just have a dinghy come and take them away. They 336 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: fixed the boat. They got some of those Infomar ceiling products, 337 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: and they fixed the boat. And that's it. You got 338 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, the reigning MVP, coming back and he's still 339 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: slinging it like a black blackjack dealer there who's on 340 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: a on a healer, a heater. And you have Poula 341 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: Nacua who's been living the Hollywood life and going around 342 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: having a great time and all that. So that roster, 343 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: with what they kept and what they've added the rams, 344 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: it's like a late night run to Taco bell, right. 345 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: It's chaotic, there's a long line, you gotta wait and 346 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: it just hits the spot and it might not look 347 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: good later because you might be on the toilet, but 348 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: it looks good in the moment. It feels pretty good. 349 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: And let's also address the elephant in the room here 350 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: and and the elephant doing jumping jacks in the side 351 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: of the room, and that be Seattle. The Seahawks did 352 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: not just win, They won with help. That's why they're 353 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: not the favorite anymore. And they've also been raided that 354 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: phantom two point conversion. Chances of that happening again are 355 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: not particularly good. It was right out of the twilights 356 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: on it. I know jj N Renton would agree with 357 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: me on that, and so would Nostradinas when it comes 358 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: to that. But the regression to the mean and Seattle 359 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: overachieved last year got some help. Those things won't happen 360 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: likely this year here, so that tax bill will come do. 361 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: And the Rams at plus seven hundred on the board. 362 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: And that's not elementary school cafeteria mystery meat that is 363 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: dry aged and hand carved table side steak is what 364 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: that is. That's just delicious. And the Rams are not 365 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: just contenders here, they are the team to beat at 366 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: this point based on the offseason adjustment to the gambling market. 367 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: It's hard to argue with that. Against that, Rather, it's 368 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: hard to argue against that. I don't know how you 369 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: could argue for anyone else. No one's had a more 370 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: impressive run than the Rams this offseason. It is The 371 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: Ben Maler Show.

I barely remember that I was a child 690 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: back in the Baby It's Grill. 691 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 6: It was reported recently that through the first week of 692 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 6: free agency that the Saints have not received any inquiries 693 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 6: yes from teams regarding the potential trade of Derek Carr's 694 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 6: contract rights, Ben, what are the chances car stays retired? 695 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: It sounds like he wants to play. So if you 696 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: want to play, you're gonna play. Like you'll find a 697 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: way to play if you want to play. He's not 698 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: going to go to a good team. He's gonna have 699 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: to either you've got two options, go to a bad 700 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: team or just wait, wait until guys start getting hurt 701 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: and then like he passed on the Bengals and the 702 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: Colts last year, what are you doing? But they'll they'll 703 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: be jobs if you want to play next. 704 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 6: Some people around the league think that the salary cap 705 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 6: should take state incomes into account, Ben, do you think 706 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 6: that's a good idea? 707 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: Uh? Well, would you? So you'd pay them more if 708 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: they're in California or New York or something like that. 709 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: Is that would work? Or yeah? Nah? I think the 710 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: states that tax people that much should be punished. So 711 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: I think you should punish states that tax that It's insane, 712 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: So I think you should continue punishing them and players 713 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: should go to the states where they keep more of 714 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: their money. Next. 715 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 6: The New York Jets have targeted and obtained older players 716 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 6: this offseason and an attempt to get the team's culture 717 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 6: quote under control. Yeah, Ben, do you think this is 718 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 6: a sound strategy? 719 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: Uh? Well sure on a tablet coop it sounds like 720 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 1: a good strategy. Why not? The problem is an execution 721 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: because the Jets are gonna suck again, and then it 722 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're older, young players, they're gonna start 723 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: having hissy fits. So it's not gonna work. How do 724 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: we do, Cooper loop? You pass that is they win? 725 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: Put it on the board.
