We're gonna 35 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: start with this. The Mile High City. There's a lot 36 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: of things moving around. The pinball machine there and pro 37 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: bouncy ball, the silly season. As yet again, we are 38 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: on the pulse of what many of you find repulsive gossip, 39 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: speculation and rumor mongering. That's right, but interesting. Wrinkle out 40 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: of Denver. We have a mantra on this show. We 41 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: have many mantras, but one of the mantras is we 42 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: just we wake up we don't know what's going on, 43 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: and then you know, we don't even know what's going 44 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: on when we go to bed, but we wake up 45 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: and I'm like, whatever's interesting, whatever the news of the 46 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: day is, and we just talk about and so I 47 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: thought this was interesting, and I have editorial control, So 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm talking about now. Someday I'll give that 49 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: up and supermarket Steve will have editorial control. We'll talk 50 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: WNBA and then they'll turn the transmitter off and that's it. 51 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: But if you didn't hear, maybe not so multi time 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: Platinum MVP guy, the whole thing. Nicola Jokic, we learned 53 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: will not will not sign a extension with the Nuggets 54 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: this offseason. Not gonna happen. There was a standing offer 55 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: there by the Denver basketball team. 56 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: He is not going to do it. Now, the Nugget 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: media is like. 58 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: Well, it's not really that big a deal because he 59 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: can make more money in a couple of years. 60 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: Or actually just in a year. So just like wait, 61 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: and he is under contract. 62 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: So let us discuss though, because there were other factions, 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: other factions and me combatants who say, not so fast, 64 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: my friend, So let's discuss the question Nicole Jokic, we 65 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: are told, has let the Nuggets know that he does 66 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: not plan to sign a contract extension this offseason. So 67 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: what does that signify? To get cut through the fog? 68 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: What does that signify signify to you? So I've got gatorade, 69 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Early Bird and kneepads, and we will combine all of 70 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 1: these things together and we are gonna make the Gobba Ghoul. 71 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: We're gonna make the Gobba gool. So a, what does 72 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: it signify? All right? 73 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: This is not that deep at Sports Direct from Europe, 74 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: All Away from Europe, Ladies and gentlemen, step right up 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: under the big top. That's right under the big top. 76 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: The greatest show in the basketball off season is underway. 77 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Get a glimpse. Get a glimpse. It's not for the 78 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: faint of art, but get a glimp of the Serbian sledgehammer, 79 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: the drama. Oh my god. Now Jokic telling the Nuggets 80 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: to go pound sand that he's not going to sign 81 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: a two hundred and twelve million dollar contract extension this offseason. 82 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: Now that has opened the floodgates. Whether you like it 83 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: or not, it's opened the floodgates. From Walla Walla, Washington, 84 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: to kalamazoo. Okay, every team that plausibly plays basketball and 85 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: occasionally wants to win, and they have dreams of championships, 86 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: and the whispering is underway. Could we get the joker 87 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: in the deck? Could we get the joker in the deck? Now? 88 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: The party poopers, you know who they are. Oh, they say, listen, 89 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: Nicole Yoki, he's just waiting. He's just he's gonna get 90 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: an extra eighty million dollars more if he just waits 91 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: a year. And really, what is a year? 92 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: Time flies? The older you get just goes by fast. 93 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: So while that is certainly popossible, that is certainly possible. 94 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't dismiss that. I don't dismiss that. But he's 95 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: also ridiculous to dismiss the possibility that this is the 96 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: beginning of the end for Nikola Jokic in Denver. Remember 97 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the owner came out said there is a scenario where 98 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: Jokic isn't going to stay in Denver. He tossed that 99 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: out unsolicited, by the way, And now just a few 100 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: days later, Jokic says, I ain't signing that extension. Okay. 101 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: So in the multiverse, you put everything together. In the multiverse, 102 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: no it's possible that this is a foreshock. What Nicole 103 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: Jokic did is a foreshock to a larger seismic event. 104 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Plot thickens now regardless, the power Brokers, if you want 105 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: to call them that, and my favorite, the gossip hounds. 106 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: They're like bloodhounds of gossip and they're all salivating, Oh 107 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: my god, like Pavlov's dogs the sound of the dinner 108 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: bell man. Are they excited? 109 00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: Now? 110 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere today unless he wants that. But remember, 111 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: anything is possible at any time, Like the NBA could 112 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: call the Nuggets up and say, hey, we want Jokic 113 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: to play for a real team like the Clippers, and 114 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: we say we believe the conspiracy. That's how Luca ended 115 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: up with the Lakers. It's not because of some slick 116 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: GM work by Skinny Jeans Rob Polinka. It's like, well, 117 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: the NBA TV ratings were down, let's get Luca in La. 118 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: We'll get the ratings up. Why not? But technically, Jokic 119 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: has not one but two years left on the deal 120 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: from what we understand based on a minute long investigation, 121 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: also has a player option forget about that that will 122 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: not be activated. And the Nuggets publicly, he's the franchise, 123 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: He's the cornerstone. Certainly is all those things. Certainly is 124 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: all those things. And Denver, seemingly to pacify Jokic, went 125 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: out and made some moves. They traded Michael Porter Jr. 126 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: For someone named Cam Johnson. We're not sure who that is. 127 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: And they added Yonis Valanusa Valentunis, who was so excited 128 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: about that. 129 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: He's thinking about leaving and not even playing for the Nuggets. 130 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: But the effort was made to bolster the depth on 131 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets, and Yokich himself had asked for more depth, 132 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: so they went out and made some. 133 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: Moves to get more depth. 134 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Now, regardless of the math, I'm even talking about Mallard math, 135 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking about contractual math. I'm not talking about the 136 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Malor math, which is different. It's a version of math, 137 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: but it's not the actual math. It's the Malor math. 138 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: It's different. So Yo Kitch in my head, that little 139 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: cartoon bubble over my head. Yo Kich is filming a 140 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: Gatorade commercial for the Denver Nuggets. Make them sweat, all right, 141 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: He's making them sweat a little bit. Yeah, Sure, there's 142 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: a world where he gets that extra eighty million dollars 143 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: and we're all good. We are all good. Right. It 144 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: is a savvy move for a guy. He's not chasing 145 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: a championship, but guys, his little hunk of metal. Finals, 146 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: MVP three, regular season MVPs. The nugget Backers though, the 147 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: real Nugget back they're they're biting their fingernails a little bit. 148 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: Uh and for good reason. You know, Well, it's a 149 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: savvy business play for now. It's a business play for now. 150 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: Uh. 151 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: And you know, is he gonna end up in New 152 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: York or LA or you know, the Warriors in San Francisco. 153 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: We don't know. But the whispers are only gonna get 154 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: louder louder and louder. And the vultures, those NBA vultures, Yes, 155 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: the hyenas, they're out and they're gonna get altitude sickness. 156 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: The recruiting is underway. I guaran efing to you that 157 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: the recruiting is underways. Hey, you know, I just talk 158 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: to Jokics, you know, go why he's having some pints 159 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: of beer watching a horse race somewhere in someplace far 160 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: far away, you know, just the centim a text, you know, Hey, yeah, Nicole. 161 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: You ever thought about coming to Milwaukee in the winter, 162 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: beautiful weather. Yes, So the circus is just getting started 163 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: with what I'm trying to all right now, turn the page, 164 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: page two. So to the Bay Area, the aforementioned Bay Area, 165 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: we go wild ending in the baseball game. Then we're 166 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: not talking about that right now. I'll get to that later. 167 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: But some late night musings, some late night musings, and 168 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: we're hearing now the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State 169 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: wars who would have been the San Francisco Warriors, but 170 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: they kept winning championships, so they decided not to change 171 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: the name. They were going to change the name of 172 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco Warriors, which it had been, but they was 173 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: we kept winning, so we're gonna go back, you know, 174 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: keep the name Golden State Warriors. Anyway, the Golden State Warriors, 175 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: we are told have a handshake deal. Shaking your end 176 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: a handshake deal with Al Horford, late of the Boston Celtics. 177 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: Al Horford, late night news, Al Horford handshake deal. He 178 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: will join the roster of the Golden State Warriors. So 179 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? How do you feel 180 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: about this particular move? Al Horford with the Warriors. So 181 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: I have this on my note app, the notes app 182 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: on my When I put the word sketchy, that's what 183 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: I put. Because which version of Al Horford are the 184 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: Warriors going to come on down? Which version of Al 185 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: are you getting? Is he going to be locked in? 186 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: Is he going to be what he had been quite 187 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: a bit in Boston? His nickname average, Al was his nickname, 188 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: He's the average And Horford, as of twenty four hours ago, 189 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: was said to be debating whether or not he wanted 190 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: to go out to the West Coast, to go to 191 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco or to a nice retirement a time share 192 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: in Boca with a tea time at three o'clock of 193 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: the afternoon. So let's not sugarcoat this. There's no need 194 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: to sugarcoat the Al Horford story. Horford has certainly been 195 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: more of the early bird special version of basketball player 196 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: than the stretch five specialists. The difference maker is not 197 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: that guy. Hadn't been that guy for the better part 198 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: of a couple of seasons now and in Boston, and 199 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: and sure he's had occasional moments returned to glory. He's 200 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: hit some corner threes, and I'm sure he'll do a 201 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: little bit of that with the Golden State Warris and 202 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: occasionally some defensive players will make a play here and there, 203 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: and and fine, but he's been around since like the 204 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: flip phone. You know, he's been in the NBA since 205 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: the flip phone was still still a popular thing. 206 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: And so, but don't confuse a few. 207 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: Random playoff performances it looked okay on the boob tube. 208 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: Don't confuse that with some kind of renaissance career renaissance. 209 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: I do not believe this is a Benjamin and not 210 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: be like, not me but Benjamin Button type situation. Uh, 211 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the the mileage has piled up there in the NBA. Again, 212 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: Horfe is not a bad player. He was never a 213 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: great player. Yeah, you're not that guy, Pal, You're not 214 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: that guy. He's just he's just kind of there. And 215 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: it does a little bit of this, a little bit 216 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: of that, but not a lot of anything. And there 217 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: was eighteen minutes a game and a couple of screens 218 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: here broadcasters slobbering all over him. 219 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: Sure, you know I can get a good back. 220 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: In the day story. No, remember Al Horford back in 221 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: the day with the Atlanta Hawks when they had no 222 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: good players. But somehow I had all these all stars 223 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: made no sense? 224 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: All right? 225 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: Now, last word, we go to Los Angeles where it 226 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: was Welcome to the Club, Welcome to the Club, date 227 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton, the next stiff for the Lakers. DeAndre Ayton 228 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: was introduced a heroes welcome. Oh boy, they have no 229 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: idea what they're getting into. So DeAndre Ayton was introduced 230 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: with the Lakers. His big pep rally news conference there 231 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: for DeAndre Ayton, and he talked about Luca the Super 232 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: Combination draft mates in the same draft class years ago. 233 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: He was twenty eighteen, I believe, so he was really 234 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: going big. He was laying it on thick. DeAndre Ayton 235 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: introduced with the Lakers, talked about playing with Luka Dancik 236 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like a video game. He said, 237 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: he's not going to take this opportunity for granted. Okay, 238 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: what say you? What say you? 239 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: All right? 240 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: So Ayton, I'm worried that he overdosed on hutzpah, a 241 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: lot of hutzpa, a lot of hoodspa there. 242 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 3: Now the video game line that was. 243 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: Great, like a video game, Oh yeah yeah, And of 244 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: course the only joystick that DeAndre Ayton has been holding 245 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: for a while, is the one controlling his own hyprial 246 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: and selective editing. If you watch the selective editing, you 247 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: will think DeAndre eat And is much better than he is. 248 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: The opportunity, he said, this is an opportunity that I 249 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: won't take for granted. Okay, really that is known as 250 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: being extra rich. That is extra rich coming from someone 251 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: who has been coasting along like he's on a peloton. 252 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: He's got that subscription to the peloton and he's just 253 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: kind of gliding through his basketball career there and but 254 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: he really did DeAndre at and though he fawned all 255 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: over Luke, it was a little uncomfortable. It's a little uncomfortable. 256 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: It was you know, talked about the cheat code thing 257 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: and once in a generation and super ripped he said, 258 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: he said, Lucas super ripped, glad to be on his side. 259 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: All that, I mean, everything goes everything. It was eight 260 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: and praising Luca dotcha. By the time he got done 261 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: with this news it's on YouTube, you can watch it. 262 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: By the time he got done, you would have thought 263 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: that Luka Doncik had been the person that had discovered 264 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: fire and that, I mean, he just like a caveman Neanderthal, 265 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: and he came up with fire Luca. Of all people 266 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: that's recorded DeAndre eight. My god, it's amazing. He went 267 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: full howk tour with the knee pads on he had. 268 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: He was going for it. He was going for it, 269 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: full tongue bath from DeAndre eight, And it was wow. 270 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: I thought he was describing some kind of Marvel character, 271 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: not a not a teammate, not a basketball player. What 272 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: are you doing well? The surprise of surprises for good 273 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: old DeAndre. As far as the video game, you are 274 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: not the main character of the video game. You are 275 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: not the main character of said video game. And I 276 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: didn't hear a lot of talk about Lebron. 277 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: Maybe I missed it from DeAndre ayt. And also does that. 278 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: Mean that they're sitting Lebron's exit up in Lakerland. I 279 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: don't know about that. We'll keep an eye on that. 280 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: But you're not the main character in the video game. 281 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. You are the non player 282 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: character NPC, as the kid say there, And you're also 283 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the one that keeps glitching like there's a glitch there, 284 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: and the glitch happens when you're supposed to box somebody 285 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: out pay attention, not fall asleep on the court in 286 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: the middle of a play, the glitch happens, and the 287 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: extra special spoiler alert, the extra special spoiler alert if 288 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: this were a video game. DeAndre Ayton real close to 289 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: just being unplugged, I mean total zero in the finals 290 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: for the Phoenix Suns. Disappeared multiple times in that series, 291 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: a winnable series against the Milwaukee Bucks goes to Portland. 292 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: Is a total turd. And he is one of those 293 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: guys it's all hat and no cattle. That sums up. 294 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: I know he's not a Texan, but that sums up 295 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre eid So yeah, so why are things going to 296 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: be different over there on skid Row where the Lakers 297 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: play beautiful skid Row. So he's had talent. I'm pretty 298 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: sure that he's had the size DeAndre Aiden. 299 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: I don't think. 300 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: He's lacked opportunity in his pro bouncy ball career. I said, 301 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: a lot of things handed to him that he didn't 302 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: deserve because he's taller and bigger than the other players. 303 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: So he's had a lot of good opportunities and mainly 304 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: in Phoenix with the Suns, and he used it to 305 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: serve up muffins. Yeah, they were mediocrity muffins is what 306 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: he's served him. Not very delicious, not a lot of 307 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: taste in those. 308 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 309 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 310 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 311 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: Hey, what's up, everybody? 312 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I 313 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up 314 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 4: on Game? 315 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: What is Up on Game? 316 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 4: You ask, along with my fellow pro bowler TJ.

Maybe not so. 354 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: Jacob Miserawski, that's what we're talking about here. And he 355 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: had a tough outing his last time out against the 356 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: New York Metropolitans, but he came back with Gusto for 357 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: the brew Crew. He did allow a leadoff on run 358 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: to show hey, o'toni, but he ended up striking out 359 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, and not four, not five, 360 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 1: not six, not seven. At eight twelve twelve helpless Dodger 361 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: batters as the Dodgers are going through a rough patch 362 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: right now and the Milwaukee Brewers, the Brew Crew defeat 363 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: the Blue Crew seats the Brew Crew over the Blue 364 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: Crew three to one in a random game on a 365 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, the NL West, leading the top team in 366 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: the National League. The Dodgers have now lost five straight 367 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: five straight games. Now, for me, the story here is 368 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: on the mat I watched this game. Now, I was 369 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: flipping around, and I watched a little bit of the 370 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: Red Sox game, but they're playing the Rockies. Watched some 371 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: of the Yankee game. There was a rain delay in 372 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: that one. Some of the Phillies giants, you know, they're 373 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: flipping in the background. I had the TV on when 374 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: I was getting ready for the show, and it's kind 375 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: of cool because. 376 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: I can watch random games. 377 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: So I'm flipping around, and I did focus in on 378 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: the Brewers and the Giants because I wanted to see 379 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: this guy. I'd seen him pitch earlier the mizz and 380 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: I to see how this all went down. So what 381 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: are your impressions? What are your impressions of the Brewers 382 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: starter Jacob Mazaraski and how he did against the Dodgers 383 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: after that starts. So my observations. I've got anaconda, packing peanuts, 384 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: and sledgehammer man. We will combine all of these things 385 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: together and we will put the biscuit in the basket. 386 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: All right, So number what I said, number, what is 387 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: this guy? Twenty three years old? If you could buy 388 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: stock in how much this cat's gonna make? Twenty three 389 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: years old, six foot seven, built like a coat rat 390 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: guy and not a lot of meat on the bone there. 391 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: I guess he'll fill out as he gets older. He 392 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: does have the rocket launcher in the arm there. Now 393 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: it is a small sample size, only made five stars. 394 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: Don't be a prison of a moment, Ben, But wowsers, Man, 395 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: is this guy good? Holy crap? I mean this guy 396 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: is really good. He throwing You talk about throwing the heat, 397 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: but he's not. Just it's people get all excited to 398 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: get a horny because he throws one hundred miles an hour. However, 399 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: he did show signs of actually knowing how to pitch, 400 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: and I'm sure the nerds will take over and make 401 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: sure you don't ever do that. Just throw it, throw 402 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: you throw hundred miles an hour, don't throw a slider. 403 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: What's the curveball? What's wrong with you? So he had 404 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts, and if the math is right on this, 405 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: he had seven strikeouts. 406 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: Came on the curveball. The analytics are not they're not 407 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 3: gonna like that. 408 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? 409 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 2: Uh? 410 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,959 Speaker 1: He had one on a slider, one on a change up. 411 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: So nine of the twelve strikeouts. We're not on the fastball, 412 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: We're not on the fastball and so he's proven this. Listen, 413 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: he is a flamethrower and all that stuff. But on 414 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: on the Mount, he's more of like a surgeon, a 415 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: little surgeon action going out there on the Mount. So 416 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: I was saying about this and object like the Dodger. 417 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: I think Dodgers should get back to the World Series, 418 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: should win it unless the Astros get the trash cans 419 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: out again and all that stuff. But if Milwaukee doesn't 420 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: botch this, and there's a hot take coming, I hope 421 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: you're prepared. You might want to fasten your seat. But 422 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: there's a hot take coming. So if Milwaukee doesn't screw 423 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: this up, and I'm talking about innings limits and oh, 424 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna shut them down. If an abundance of caution, 425 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna shut them is down. Okay, this is gonna 426 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: be a magic carpet ride, is what it's gonna be. 427 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: I am Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side. 428 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: On Jacob Mazaski, he is fearsome, like a barracuda and lethal, 429 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: I said, giant anaconda on the mount. He's the kind 430 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: of a talent. Here's the hot take. If you gave 431 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: me one thousand dollars of funny money tedday, and you said, 432 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: who's got more of a chance of beating the Dodgers 433 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: on the National League side of the bracket, I would 434 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: say the Milwaukee brew is rather like the Mets or 435 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: the Phillies or the Podres of some of the other 436 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: teams that are the top teams the nationally I would 437 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: take the Milwaukee Brewers, and here's why, all right to me, 438 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: they are more of a threat. And I'll tell you why. 439 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: We start with them. With Jacob Mizerowski. This guy has 440 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: the the Genni siquah if you will. He's got the 441 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: razzled out dazzle, he's got the or. But more importantly, 442 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: he's good, right. He just looks like he knows what 443 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: he's doing. He's the kind of guy if he can 444 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: back that up in the plus and listen, some guys 445 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: get tight. Took his syndrome in the playoffs and they 446 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: can't get it done in big games. One of them 447 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: is named Clinton Kershaw. But assuming he's not like that, 448 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: assuming that Jacob Mizerowski is able to perform in the playoffs, 449 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: then I would drink the brew Crew cool aid. I 450 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: would put my money on Milwaukee there and they're a 451 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: legit dark horse threat on the National League side of 452 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: the bracket to the Mighty Dodgers down the line in 453 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: October and Pat Murphy, who I kind of liked this guy, 454 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, if I'm not mistaken, I was watching the 455 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: game they had. They had an in game interview on 456 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: Turner with Pat Murphy, and I'm pretty sure that he 457 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: said a bad word while there were one of the 458 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: Brewers enters hit a fly ball that looked like it 459 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: might be a home run, but it landed kind of 460 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: short of the warning track, and he said the S word, 461 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: which I think we should be allowed to say, but 462 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: you're not technically allowed to say the S word. So 463 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: I like that guy, Pat Murph. I know he's been 464 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: around forever as a college manager and all that stuff. 465 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: We don't talk college baseball other than like maybe once 466 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: a year at the College World Series. But I like 467 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: this guy. And so he gave the money quote about 468 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: the miss. He said, he's just coming out of the 469 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: egg all arms and legs, still got gooey stuff coming 470 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: off of him. That's what he said. Just gooey stuff 471 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: sounds good, right, Gooey stuff sounds pretty good. So that 472 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: is not a diss, that is not a shot fired. Obviously, 473 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: the guy's the manager, he's an advocate for his player. 474 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: That's more of a warning that this is a dinosaur 475 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: that Jacob Misser Russie. The guy's a guyna sore and 476 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: he hasn't fully formed into t rex yet. It hasn't 477 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: hasn't happened now, So keep an eye. And the reason 478 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: to be optimistic, to be bullish rather than embarrashing on 479 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: the Brewers, is you figure with Jacob Mazerowski in the 480 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: playoffs in a seven game series, the Brewers bullpens. Okay, 481 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: it's come around after a tough start. So in a 482 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: seven game series, he's gonna start two to three of 483 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: those seven. If it goes seven, I'll start three unless 484 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: he's a woos and then they'll start maybe one. But 485 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: let's say he starts two. Then you've got all star 486 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta, and you've got Brandon Woodriff, who's pretty pretty good. 487 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: He's been hurt when he came back. 488 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: So those would be your three starting pitchers, I believe, 489 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken there in the playoffs, and so, 490 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: as the Larry David would say, that's. 491 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: Pretty deep, pretty deep. 492 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: Pretty good, I would say, pretty good. All right, Now 493 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: we pivot away from that and we go to the NFL. 494 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: We are closing in on the start of training camp. 495 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: It's not that exciting, not that exciting. But there was 496 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: some interesting commentary coming out of Jerry's world. That's right, 497 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: the obligatory mention of the Dallas Cowboys. So Dak Prescott 498 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: waxing poetic recently about his receiving corps in Dallas. Now, 499 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: the quote that stood out to us was what he 500 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: had to say about George Pickens. That stood out to us. 501 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: So Dak made a declaration, gave a statement, do we 502 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: have this? 503 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: I think we have this. Let's see we have the idea. 504 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: This is Dak Prescott going on a little bit of 505 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: hyperbole on his new wide receiver, George Pickens. Take a list. 506 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 5: That's two guys that want the other guy to succeed 507 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 5: just as much, saying it firsthand, just them two hanging 508 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 5: out and me the bystandard. I'll go in the house, 509 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: you know, purposely for a little bit, you know, and 510 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 5: just peaking at him. They love each other, they love 511 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 5: each other's company, they love each other's game. 512 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: The guy that gets to get them the ball. It's 513 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: exciting as. 514 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 5: Hell because you can turn on ota tapes and one 515 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 5: of the guys the ball's in there, and the other 516 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 5: one's got his hands up celebrating already. 517 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: All right. So he was talking about in that cut, 518 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: he was talking about Pickens and Ceedee Lamb. In the 519 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: cut that I want I would like to focus in on, 520 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: he said he was talking about George Pickens. He said, 521 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: you turn on that guy's tape talking about George Pickens. 522 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: He's getting separation. He's got separation even when he's not 523 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: getting the ball at times. And when he doesn't have separation, 524 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: he's still making the catches. Prescott said, for me, it's 525 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: about getting the ball near that guy and letting him 526 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: go be George Pickens close. 527 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: All right, So can you unravel all of this? 528 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: Can you unravel what Dak Prescott was getting at with 529 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: the quote that I just read there, the one about 530 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: George Pickens. So I've got Dak gibberish is what I got, 531 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: Dak gibberish. That's how I that's how I unravel that quote. 532 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: I do so. He said, Pickens is open when he's 533 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: not open. He's catching balls when he's not catching balls. 534 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: So that must mean, using deductive reasoning that George Pickens 535 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 1: is a wide receiver who is actually some kind of 536 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: quantum particle. I think I think that's what he was 537 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: getting at with that with that line. Now, is he 538 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: both open and is covered until observed? Inquiring minds would 539 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: like to know. So this is another jem a diamond 540 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: in the rough from Dakota. Now his superpower is not 541 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. No no, no, no, no no. 542 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: This is what dak is good at hot air. He 543 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: is Jerry Jones should frame this that particular quote, the 544 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: one I read about what he said about George Pickens 545 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: here and go over to the louver, because Jerry spot 546 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: on his yacht somewhere near the louver and put it 547 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: right next to the Mona Lisa. I just find the 548 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa and then you put a label on top. 549 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: You can write it if you want, you can make 550 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: it professionally done. The art of the vague compliment. Dakota Prescott. 551 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: That's it. So dak Prescott's the kind of speaking reminds 552 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: me of in a previous generation, Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter 553 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: was like this where the fanboys would get all excited 554 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: anytime Derek Jeter talked and he's, oh, man, that was 555 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: a great quote by Derek Teeter, and I'd be like, 556 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: he didn't say anything. Dak Prescott could give a keynote 557 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: address at a company event and he can go on 558 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: and on about the nutritional value of packing peanuts. A 559 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: keynote address by Dak press ball packing peanuts are really 560 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: good for you and just wonderful, and the crowd would applaud. 561 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: They just wait to go, Dak, I mean outstanding, and 562 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: they would not know a single, a single thing more 563 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: than when they sat down to listen to what Dak 564 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: was saying. So he has really missed his calling. But 565 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: he's done playing for the Cowboys. He can become a 566 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: future White House press secretary. He's got that. That is future. 567 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: And he has mastered the quarnerback version of corporate speak. 568 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: He has done that. And the undisputed, undefeated, unchallenged heavyweight 569 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: champion of the world at saying absolutely nothing in a 570 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: thirty second sound bite, Dakota Prescott, He's done it yet again. 571 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: He's the guy. He could be asked what time all right, 572 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: what time is it? And he would respond, well, time 573 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: is a construct, Dak would say. And we're just we're 574 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: just trying to make the most of the moments that 575 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: we're given. We don't have that much of it. And 576 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: he's going on on, so it's not really that he's 577 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: dodging anything, because he's not that good at dodging sacks. 578 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: He's not dodging anything. 579 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 3: He's he's just like waltzing around. You know, he's dancing. 580 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 3: He's got his. 581 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: Tuxedo on, he's dancing around, the cliches and all that stuff. 582 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: And yeah, we'd like a little more meat on the bone, 583 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: but we know we're not going to get that. 584 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 3: And you're supposed to talk that way if you're the. 585 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: Quarterback and we like a little more spice or pepper. 586 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of pepper there. It's just a 587 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: word salad and a side dish. Little basket of hot air, 588 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: little basket of hot air. All right, now, final point 589 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: to the atl we go, great airport, bad sports, Great airport, 590 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: bad sports. So the Falcons quarterback for now Kirk Cousins 591 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: slamming his own team. 592 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 3: Oh my god, did you see? 593 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: This is all part of that Netflix show which is 594 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: out here, That quarterback thing that's out now, So Kirk 595 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: Cousins slamming the Falcons and claimed that he was missiled 596 00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: his word, not my word, missile after they drafted Michael 597 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: Pennix Junior. And how does that sound to you? How 598 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: does that sound to you? So Cousins, for all the 599 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: flak that he gets, says he's a diminishing asset at 600 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: this particular point, he absolutely has a right to be 601 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: ticked off. Like, I don't know how you could argue 602 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: against that being dirty pool by the Falcons. I don't 603 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: know that I would use the word missile. I would 604 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: go stronger than that. I mean, this is the definition 605 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: of the blind side a franchise over the years. The 606 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: Falcons they cannot they couldn't spell the word stability at 607 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. If you spotted in the first six 608 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: letters of the word, they'd still f it up. I mean, 609 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. And it does make 610 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: you wonder there's something going on in that water supply 611 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia there. Tommy in Atlanta might know. Listen, 612 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: he can't call because his evil boss won't let him 613 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: call anymore. But I met him a while back at 614 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: a mallor meet and greet there in the South, and 615 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: he's he listens every night to the show. He cannot 616 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: interact with us because he's a camera on him and 617 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: he's driving around his truck. The schmuck's over there. The 618 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: company oors were, but he knows right when it comes 619 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: to poor decision making and broken promises. The Atlanta and 620 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: Georgia's sports teams have mastered that. Now the Falcons, we'll 621 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: talk about them. So they signed Kirk Cousins and then 622 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: a couple months later drafted in the first round a quarterback. 623 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: Before Cousins had even played a game, they drafted a quarterback. 624 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: And so the Falcons were operating. If you go back 625 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: in the Hot Top time machine, they were operating like that. 626 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: There's some kind of bizarre like psyop thing, like a 627 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: roster confusion. And Cousins I so moving down to Atlanta, 628 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: he thought he was building a house, and the Falcons 629 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: are like, hey, Lisen, it's not a hot We're handing 630 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: you a sledgehammer, and we actually are doing demo. We 631 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: used to have a demo guy that would call the 632 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: show from Minnesota. We're handing you a slash jamer. We 633 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: want you to do some demo, that's it. And he 634 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: even said, like, if he had known that, he would 635 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: have stayed with the Vikings. He's like because they drafted 636 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he's like, I liked Minnesota, he liked 637 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: to like the people there, like the town, the whole thing, 638 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: and he just would have stayed in Minnesota rather than 639 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: go to Atlanta. So, yeah, the Falcons they did him dirty, 640 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: they did. So how does a front office though in 641 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: spin of they knew he had an injury, Like it 642 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: wasn't like a secret. They knew Cousins was hurt when 643 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: they signed him. But how do you go from we 644 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: believe in you, we are going to give you a 645 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 1: cartoon check for like one hundred and eighty million dogs? 646 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: How do you go from that to we're hedging our 647 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: bets like you're some kind of shady blackjack dealer guy 648 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: in Atlantic. Like it's very odd. It's very odd, and 649 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: it's mouthfeas it's I would say, and it's worked out, 650 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: then we don't know if it's worked out. 651 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 3: Neither of us know whether Michael Pennix Junior is good 652 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 3: or not. 653 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: Now you wow, Cousins is a good And the argument 654 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,959 Speaker 1: is Cousins is done and maybe that will be true. 655 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: He will be playing for someone other than the Falcons though, 656 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: whether he gets traded now or training camp or early 657 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: in the season before the trade deadline, obviously, but that 658 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: is the kind of organizational dysfunction signing a quarterback then 659 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback. It's like the Cleveland Browns. It makes 660 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: them look like they know what they're doing, the Cleveland Browns. 661 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: And so that was totally a slap right across the 662 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: schnaz for Kirk Cousins. And you know, it was even 663 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: like more of like the atomic elbow to the schnaz 664 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: is what that was there. And so again the Falcons 665 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: they burned a hundred and was it one hundred and 666 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: eighty million I believe was the number an investment with 667 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. And they treated him like a some kind 668 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: of scratch off ticket, that sir scratch off as in 669 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: Arkansas and just kind of hoping it pays. 670 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor 671 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Well, I 684 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: don't understand what the hull of I thought Arrowhead was 685 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: cool because I it's nostalgia when I was a kid. 686 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: I went there last November. That was really great experience 687 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: because I grew up watching games at arrow at big games. 688 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: But Kansas is like literally down the street. The road, 689 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: one of the roads in Kansas City goes right through 690 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: Missouri and Kansas. So to me, it doesn't matter. But 691 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: I think they I think eventually they'll just build a 692 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: domeme in Kansas. I think that's where to go next. 693 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes made a recent podcast appearance where he said 694 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 6: that he thinks this is the deepest group of weapons 695 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 6: that he has had around him on the Chiefs Ben. 696 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: Do you think that's true.

Al would have loved the 706 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: fact that Vegas bent over and gave the Raiders everything 707 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: they wanted, but in terms of market size, it would 708 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: have been better if they stayed in La It's a 709 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: bigger marketing.
