38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: try that much. You have to pay them a lot

39
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: of money to get them to put some effort into that.

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: But we will begin with the only game in town.

41
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I will credit the NBA scheduling. They did not schedule

42
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: us on a Sunday, a Thursday or a Monday. They

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,480

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: am not on the NBA pay roll, so I do

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: not have to sit here and say this is good,

49
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: because it's not. But there they were. They were out

50
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: there running around in Vegas, crown a champion. It's a

51
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: T shirt and hat kind of a game in the NBA.

52
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Were you watching, Probably not. It wasn't even on television.

53
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: It was on the stream, not on television. Now we

54
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: used a machete to go into the Amazon and to

55
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,760

Speaker 1: And the New York Nicks, for the first time in

58
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: my life are the champions. They had to make up

59
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: a championship for the Knicks to win a championship, and

60
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,560

64
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: a loser and count this as a championship for the

00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,720

00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,080

Speaker 5: Man?

69
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: You always remember that? So special? Carl Anthony Towns, kitty

70
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: cat see Minnesota. You traded a winner. How could the

71
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: Timberwolves have traded Karl Anthony Towns? Oh my god, sixteen points,

72
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: eleven rebounds. He did miss a bunch of this game

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: with injury, but they ended up winning year, the champs

74
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: of the Big Apple as the New York Knicks get

75
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240

Speaker 1: Brown doing what pat Riley couldn't do. And Jeff Van

77
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Gundy and every other stiff Nick coach, Mike D'Antoni, all

78
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: these other clowns, Don Nelson, all these guys that passed through.

00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: But may you always remember nicely w championship. It's a

80
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: special night, and here's Mike Brown. One of the great

81
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: moments in the NBA history. The next winning the NBA Cup.

82
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: In any event where you're the last one standing and

83
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: you're able to hang a banner especially iconic. MSG. You

84
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: take that seriously, and all of our guys took it seriously.

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: But the most exciting part about it is I feel

86
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: like we're in New Low.

87
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Right, let's go right gone, what fans we got love?

88
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: It goes?

89
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Of course he said the same thing when he

90
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: coached the Lakers and he coached Cleveland. It's it's like

91
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: a bad stand up comedian. You're the greatest crowd I've

92
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: ever had. Let me tell you us that I was

93
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: in Detroit last night. The people in Detroit were a holes, right,

94
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: and that you were doing. You did that in Cleveland.

95
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Then you go the next time over, you go to Pittsburgh. Well,

96
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: bet me time. I was in Cleveland last night. Those

97
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: people were schmucks. But you peep. But it's a great crowd.

98
00:05:53,960 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm a rack, all right. So let's discuss here as well.

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Set your Liberty is down the street from that arena.

100
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: It's New York, New York. They have that right there.

101
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question what does this Knickerbocker's

102
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in quote NBA Cup Championship in quotes, what does this

103
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: do for the franchise of this title? So I've got

104
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: snow globe, crude oil, and deadwood, and we will combine

105
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we'll charge you fifty

106
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: bucks to park, because that's how they roll in Vegas,

107
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: where they try to screw over the people that visit

108
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: that town with overpriced parking and no freebies anymore, because

109
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: the corporations have taken over and they are a bunch

110
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: of losers. I think you also have a dirty water

111
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: dog and a soft pretzel if you want. But those

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: soft pretzels in New York anyway, are the same consistency

113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: of the concrete that you walk on. So a my

114
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: first thought is the New York Knicks have done it.

115
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: They have done it. Baby, Oh my god. I hugged

116
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Jason Smith in the hallway, my friend, longtime Nick suck Up.

117
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: I said, I've known you. We used to do radio

118
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: back years ago. I said, man, finally you get to celebrate.

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: You gotta get a T shirt, you gotta get a hat.

120
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: You're a champion. And he' said big smile, cheshire cat

121
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: smile on his face. They was so happy there. But

122
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: you got to cue the trumpets right when you win.

123
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: You cue the trumpets, you release the doves, you alert

124
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the Smithsonian the knicker Bockers have won the cup. They

125
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: have whatever that is. I don't even know what it is.

126
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: They just made it up three years. They didn't even

127
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: have that. The first year it was called the NBA

128
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Plays Something tournament. I don't remember what's called they then

129
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: they changed it. They threw a corporate sponsor on it,

130
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: because that makes everything kosher when you put a corporate

131
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: sponsor on it. And that's right, you get the Fughese

132
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Trophy Capital left Fugheze congratulations. There a glorified stocking stuffer

133
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: for the Knickerbockers. The Diet Doctor Pepper Championship for New York. Now,

134
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: some NBA pundits who you know, are deep up the

135
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: tuckis of Adam Silver. They're acting like the New York

136
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: cracked the Da Vinci Code by winning Miss Champion. Jim

137
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: had Jalen Brunts. They pretended like it was a real thing.

138
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: They all played along. Of course, I was getting paid

139
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: out of money money. I would play along as well.

140
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: So Jalen Brunson was your little MVP, and that's special,

141
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: that's good. He won the MVP. Og Ananobi was cooking

142
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: with gas. He was cooking gas and Carl Anthony Towns,

143
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony's he was crawling. Uh he was. He was

144
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: out there like a lion. Normally he plays like a

145
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: house cat. But no, no a. And suddenly the Knickerbocker

146

Speaker 1: is this twenty twenty five, twenty six vintage of the Knicks.

147
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: This was a Broadway revival. The Demon Slayer is what

148
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: it was. You're talking about slaying demons in December in

149
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: like game twenty five or something like that. You be dispersed. Congratulations,

150
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,360

00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: other stiffs that he's paid to coach the Knicks over

156
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: the years.

157
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 6: There.

158
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: See, you can't be a dirt bag owner who won

159
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: a championship. You see, I won a championship. I'm James Dolan,

160
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm a schmuck and I want a championship because I

161
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: had to come up with a made up championship. Calm

162
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: down there, Calm down, This is not the Lombardy. Of

163
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: course they give that out in football. This is like

164
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: I saw it. It looked like a like a snow

165
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: globe from Times Square gift shop. That's the trophy that

166
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: you win. You win a snow globe from a Times

167
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Square gift shop. Congratulations. So the NBA, as Mike Brown

168
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: alluded to the Hobo coach Mike Brown, that the NBA

169
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: mandates that you put up this is so great. You

170
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: put up a banner so good. It was embarrassing when

171
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers did it, we mocked them. I think Milwaukee

172
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: won last year. That was stupid. And the Knicks, all

173
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: those rich people on Wall Street going to Manisburgh. Look

174
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: there's a championships won by the Rangers, and then there's

175
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks championships you know, back in the seventy and

176
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: then oh look there's twenty twenty five championship. This is

177
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the equivalent of hanging a finger painting made by your

178
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: kindergartener at the Louver's so great. Oh so they gotta

179
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: sell the championship hat and merch the T shirts. I

180
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: saw the players wearing the T shirts after the game

181
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: and the hats, so they'll sell those. Well, the Knicks. Next,

182
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna summer a championship hangover so good. You don't

183
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: normally play right after you win a championship. I mean

184
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you take a couple of months on. Are they gonna

185
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: struggle down because they won their little championship. You can

186
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: have a hangover from the room temperature water you got

187
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas. As Matthew mcconnie, he said that iconic scene

188
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: in the Wolf of Wall Street fu gayzy foghazzi woozy.

189
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. And you can put

190
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: that cup in a piggy bank and it's still going

191
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: to be empty. The piggy bank is still going to

192
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: be empty. Now, meanwhile, someone that gets it. Page two here,

193
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Sir Charles has chimed in Charles Barkley. Now he recently

194
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: unloaded prior to this event, mind you, on the NBA

195
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Cup speaking with a long time I got whacked from

196
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: his job on the sports radar of the Bay Area.

197
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: But Tom Tolbert, longtime Bay Area gash back. Now he's

198
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: doing a podcast like everyone else is, and so he

199
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: had Barkley on because Tolbert knows Barkley because he used

200
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: play in the NBA and played against Barkley. So Charles

201
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Barkley confirmed that he hates hates the fact that the tournament,

202
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup, is all about that prize money and

203
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: they have to entice the players to prioritize those games

204
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: because the regular season the players obviously don't care. We

205
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: all know that it's an open secret here. And Barkley

206
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: called it ridiculous that they had to pay the players

207
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: essentially a bounty here to get them to play with

208
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: extra efforts. So the question how did Charles Barkley's statement

209
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: about the NBA Cup being embarrassing? How did that sound

210
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to you? So listen, Charles Barkley, obviously preaching to the choir.

211
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: It was a symphony. It was an absolute symphony. Every note,

212
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: every note was great. It was just a standing ovation.

213
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Bravo to Charles Barkley. Does it again at cacoffny of goodness,

214
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: cacoffny of goodness from Charles Barkley. Here, Sir Charles, Now

215
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: he did not genuflect to the altar of staying of Adam.

216
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, stan Van Gundal's watching the game,

217
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: so you wouldn't have to. And I'm pretty sure stan

218
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Van Gundy had knee pads with Adam Silver's face on him.

219
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: I mean he was really going to town. I mean,

220
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: tell you take a breath there, stand calm down. He

221
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: was praising the cup. And what a great thing was

222
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade, who's terrible as a broadcaster. Brother, I think

223
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: God is on Amazon. No one watches him, but God

224
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: does he suck so dway, Dwayne Wade was on there

225
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: and he didn't know what to say, so he was

226
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: just kind of agreeing with Stan van Gundy. But Stan

227
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: should get a room. He wants he wants that job,

228
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: he loves that his good pang job NBA broadcaster. And

229
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: no one watches those games, so nobody cares what he says.

230
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: But I happen to be watching. And man, that was

231
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: some major sucking up to management by Stan van Gundy, Like, dude,

232
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: get a room so bad now. This is this is

233
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: how you juxtapost Charles Barkley to Stand Van Gundy. Charles

234
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Barkley not a houseman, Stan van Gundy, houseman, big difference there.

235
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley is crude oil right, he's raw, he's unfiltered.

236
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: He stains the carpet. The whole thing tells the truth,

237
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: whether you like the smell or not. Okay, and calling

238
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup embarrassing is not a hot take by

239
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Charles Mark. It's basic math. It's basic math on the

240
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: mountain of bad ideas. On the mountain of bad ideas,

241
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: this gimmick is parked right near the summit, right near

242
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the summit, on the mountain of bad ideas, just below

243
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: Adam Silver spending years, years defending load management as a

244
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: sound strategy while the product, the quality of the product,

245
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: quietly fell apart like a stale churrow right in front

246
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: of his fat face. Not fatty skinny, but you get

247
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: the point. Think about this. The NBA had to bring

248
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: in essentially the Keebler elves. They had to bring in

249
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of elves here and wave a pot of

250
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: gold at the end of the rainbow. To get these

251
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: entitled players to try hard. They had to say, hey, fellas,

252
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: let me dangle five. I have one hundred plus thousand

253
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: dollars and please try in December. Thank you, signed Adam

254
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: love y'all. Okay, meanwhile, this is what I don't get

255
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: about that, and maybe I'm wrong, and you can call up.

256
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: I'll give out the number in a few minutes, you

257
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: can explain why I'm misguided. I don't understand why this

258
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: is such a big deal. The average salary, the median

259
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: salary in the NBA is twelve million dollars. Do you

260
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: understand the median salaries? Told me as well. Okay, that's

261
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: just because there's a lot of guys making fifty million. Okay,

262
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: So the minimum getting salary, Like you know how you

263
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: hired at McDonald's, you get minimum wage if you're hired

264
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: by the NBA. The minimum salary, you know what it is?

265
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: You don't, Okay, what do you think you think? Oh

266
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: you had a number? Okay, the minimum salary one point

267
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: two million. Let me repeat that for the yeah in

268
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: the back, one point two million. Uh now again where

269
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: I come from. If you make one point two million,

270
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: you are wait for it, you're rich, is what you are. Okay.

271
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: So you don't have to shovel snow to make a

272
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: couple of extra bucks. You don't have to take an

273
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: extra job with delivering food or whatever. You don't have

274
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: to do any of that stuff. You're not eating the

275
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Marcella and Brooklyn noodles and of Noodle's diet. You're not

276
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: doing Ramen and Adam Silver again. I go back to

277
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: the point, this bozo Adam Silver, who the NBA media

278
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: doesn't want to criticize because they love Adam Silver because

279
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: they get access. Adam Silver nurtured this culture. He did right,

280
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: and now his little baby has grown up into a

281
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: fire breathing monster, a giant dragon, a three headed dragon.

282
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: It has happened. It's all grown up now, congratulations, all

283
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: grown up. And the only way to get the players

284
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: to care about a regular season event is to bribe them.

285
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: That is not innovation, Adam Silver, that is not That

286
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: is desperation is what that is? All right? Meanwhile, last

287
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: word to La La land we go. We have a

288
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: follow up, follow up to a story we talked about

289
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. It has now been a

290
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: few weeks since Chris Paul was unceremoniously excommunicated from Clipper Nation.

291
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Clippers sent him home in the middle of the night,

292
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night on a road trip,

293
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: and the point guard has not been released now. He

294
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: wasn't eligibly to be traded until this week, so he

295
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: is eligibly betraded now. But according to a new deep

296
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: dive that popped up on the interweb, the world Wide Web.

297
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: A story came out about the separation between Chris Paul

298
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: and the Clippers, and it was some dirty laundry that

299
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: got aired there. According to this new report, the chatter

300
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: that Chris Paul his leadership was like grating cheese is

301
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: what it was on the front office and the coaching

302
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: staff there. In particular, there was a new revelation that

303
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Chris Paul got into a verbal brew haha with Jeff

304
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Van Gundy. But you j justapo Stan Van Gundy wearing

305
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: knee pads for Adam Silver and Jeff Van Gundy who

306
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: was taken off television for being critical of the NBA

307
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: hmm things that make you go hmm. So supposedly these

308
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: guys did not get along. There was an argument that

309
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: has now been reported between Van Gundy on a chartered

310
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: flight from Miami to Atlanta about defensive assignments. Apparently Chris

311
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: Paul didn't really play much defense. And Chris Paul met

312
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: with Lawrence Frank, who I guess is the general manager

313
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: of the Clippers there whatever doing a hell of a

314
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: job this year, So then they had to get together there.

315
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: They said, hey, you know, we're going to fire your ass.

316
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: We're going to send you back to LA That's it.

317
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: And so CP three was blindsided. He even used a

318
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: teammate as a character witness according to this story that

319
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: was out there. So the question how does this late

320
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: report of Chris Paul getting into a sparring match with

321
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy, How does this one? How does this

322
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: hit you? So we actually brought in for this Malamala.

323
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: We brought in Judge Judy, and Judge Judy has ruled,

324
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: She's banged her gavel and she's determined that this is

325
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: much like divorce court irreconcirable differences, you know, case closed.

326
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: That's it. And this is the keep on this version

327
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: that came out. This is the Clippers version of what happened.

328
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: This is a carefully crafted story leaked by the Clippers

329
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: to a useful idiot in the media, and it's a

330
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: crime scene reconstruction of what happened through their eyes and surprise, surprise, surprise,

331
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: CP three is holding the smoking gun. In their version

332
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: of the story. They escorted him to the exit. The

333
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: People's team decided that the vibe was toxic sludge and

334
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: they had to get rid of Chris Paul and make

335
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: no miss and this is a counter leak, right, this

336
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: is counter league and the truth is somewhere in between

337
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: what Chris Paul said when he used Lou Williams as

338
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: his useful idiot to can't claim and Lou Williams was

339
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: the carrier pigeon there and they go, well, you know,

340
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: I was just holding everyone accountable. That was Chris Paul's

341
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: version of events. Now the Clippers have decided to clap

342
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: back and they're like, this guy's washed, he's uncoachable, he's

343
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: a bad teammate. The guy's dead wood. And you know

344
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: what happens. You don't have to be a gardener, but

345
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: if you know anything about gardening and you have dead

346
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: wood there, you got to get rid of those dead branches.

347
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: You grab your shears and you start chop chopping, and

348
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: that's what you do. You don't negotiate with the dead branches.

349
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: You just get rid of them. And if you had

350
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: a sparting match between Jeff Van Gundy and washed up

351
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, you're gonna take Jeff Van Gun. I was

352
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy was the coach of the team. I

353
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: like that guy. Chris Paul's not gonna win that fight.

354
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: And and the part which really you can tell it

355
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: with some of the Clippers because it makes Chris Paul

356
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: look like a complete dope. The story that CP three

357
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: brought in brook Lopez as a character witness. He's getting

358
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: fired by the Clippers and he brings in brook Lopez.

359
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: See players like me. Brook Lopez likes me? Oh my god,

360
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: what is this? Small claims court? Is that what we're

361
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: doing now? Your honor Kawhi also likes me. He likes yeah.

362
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't play. I know, I know he

363
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: doesn't like basketball. I know. Well he's got that other

364
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: side hustle. He's got to do the endorsement thing, you know,

365
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: the no show Yeah that job? Yeah sure, why not?

366
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: This is like desperation theater. Desperation theater. Now, the thing

367
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: that is hilarious to me is the Clippers have not

368
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: traded Chris Paul. The Clippers have not released Chris Paul.

369
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: Chris Paul is taking up space. This is how much

370
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: the Clippers loathe Chris Paul. Okay, he's not been released.

371
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: He is eligibly to be traded. Now they haven't traded him. Now,

372
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: why have they done that? They want to stick it

373
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: to Chris Paul. He is stuck in no madg Len.

374
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: He's on the Siberian holding pattern, not the Siberian Express.

375
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: The Siberian holding pattern is what he's on here. And

376
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: they suck this year. It is a pathetic group of

377
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: basketball players that are just horrific. There's got to be

378
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: something else going on with that. We're not sure what.

379
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll come out at some point here, some

380
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: kind of behind the scenes stuff. But man, they're terrible.

381
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: It's unwatchable. I've watched them in a while and I

382
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: don't plan on too. They're not worth my time. My

383
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: time's very valuable. I don't have time to watch bad

384
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, people that aren't trying to compete and stuff

385
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: like that. Not worth my time. But man, you follow them,

386
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: malamath Chris Paul. His leadership started to become a nag

387
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: and a pain in the ass, and the room, the

388
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: locker room, parts of it revolted. And so CP three

389
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: f around play stupid games, win stupid prizes. So there

390
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: you go.

Speaker 1: Last hour as the Knicks congratulations, the NBA season is over.

410
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: The Knicks have won the championship. They gave out T

411
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: shirts and hats and all the merch and they're gonna

412
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: raise a banner. So all you guys freaking out about,

413
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, the NBA season is gonna go on forever. No,

414
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: it's not. They just gave a championship. You can't keep

415
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: playing when you give out a championship. But our lead

416
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: this hour from South Beach, and we have a mantra

417
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: on this show. Bad sports makes good sports radio. And

418
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: so after getting Mommy wa in Pittsburgh by the weather,

419
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: not by the Steelers, by the weather as they turned

420
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: into teal popsicles, and the Dolphins now being decommissioned from

421
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: the playoff race. In the AFC SO head coach Mike

422
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: McDaniel hinting that a change under center is coming down

423
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: the pike. And if you didn't hear this, perhaps not.

424
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: He was somewhat vague about it. However, the tone is important.

425
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: You're here is the very well spoken head coach of

426
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You hear the question and the answer. Here's

427
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel being asked about a possibility of making a

428
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: change under center. Take a list. Are you considering a

429
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: quarterback change this week?

430
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: Well, I think the quarterback play last night was not

431
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: good enough and so for me, nothing's on the table.

432
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 8: And who would you consider going to if you make

433
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 8: a change?

434
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: Well, I think that you know, we're in the process

435
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 5: of game planning for or the Cincinnati Bengals. So in

436
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 5: that process, we're trying to determine who'll give us the

437
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 5: best chance to win. And I'll probably give you more

438
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 5: clarity on that tomorrow. As we are I think fourteen

439
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 5: hours removed from the game.

440
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Well not anymore. We're doing the overnight show, so we're

441
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: more than fourteen hours. But I was that was a

442
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: SoundBite there, And does anyone say um and ah more

443
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: than Mike McDaniel Is there anyone? I play a lot

444
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: of these coaching sound bites from different coaches. I don't

445
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: know anyone. One of my favorite radio shows when I

446
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: was a kid, they used to goof on the UM

447
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and US the athletes that said the UM and the

448
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: OZ and this guy would have had the old guy

449
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: used to listen to on the radio. What had a

450
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: field day with Mike McDaniels. So again you heard it.

451
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: He was asked point blank whether the Dolphins would make

452
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback change and he said the quarterback play last

453
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: night meeting in the Monday night game was not good enough.

454
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: So everything is on the table. That is a good

455
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us get into this and discuss

456
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: the question for the esteem panel. What do you read

457
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: in what do you read into the Dolphins head coach

458
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: hinting at a benching on the horizon for two a

459
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: tongue of Ayilawa. So my observations, I've got thoroughbred racehorse

460
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: magic eraser and the mench on the bench and we

461
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

462
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: going to have a Smorgasborg is what We're going to have.

463
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: Unbelievable ar So number number WA, the benching seed has

464
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: been planted. If you've ever done any gardening, you plant

465
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: the seed. Now not every time you plant the seed

466
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: does the seed turn into profit. Got a lot of

467
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: farmers I've met you guys over the years, A lott

468
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: of you in the Midwest are working on farms, getting

469
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: up early, doing the things you have to do. And

470
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that that dad when it was Minnesota,

471
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: couple was there and they're farmers. They had a family

472
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: farm and they were like the last in the generation

473
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: and the kids that wanted nothing to do with it.

474
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: And so I don't know what. I haven't heard from

475
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: them in a while. It's been a couple of years,

476
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: but I remember having a very nice conversation. But the

477
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: point is, if you farm, if you're a farmer and

478
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: you plant the seed. In our little world of sporty talk,

479
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: when you plant the seed and that's been planted in

480
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: South Florida, once the seed hits the soil in this case,

481
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: the nice beaches, and the Sandy Beach is there in

482
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: South Beach. The quarterback is already halfway into the transfer

483
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: porter at that point, and they're going to give that

484
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: quarterback the tools of ignorance, a clipboard and a headset,

485
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: and then that's it. And over my couple of years

486
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: you give or take a couple of years doing this job.

487
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: This becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when you get this

488
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of a vague statement. The moment you talk about

489
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: the possibility of benching the big money quarterback, the clock

490
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: starts ticking louder than a microwave just after three in

491
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: the morning. This chapter, it's not a great chapter, but

492
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: this chapter of the Dolphins has been a boone doggle

493
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: with a capital B, big B boone doggle. The Dolphins,

494
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: for reasons beyond comprehension, handed to a tongue of Aila

495
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve million US dollars. And now they're

496
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: looking back at that. The brass in Miami is looking

497
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: back at that, and they're looking at the receipt and

498
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: they're like, wait a minute, I mean, we thought we

499
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: bought a racehorse, a thoroughbred racehorse, And it turns out

500
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: we got a horse that has bad legs. That's what

501
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: we got. Look at the cold numbers for Tua the

502
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: last nine games, that's more than half the season. Tua

503
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, eleven interceptions, a passer rating of eighty one.

504
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: That is your two hundred million dollar quarterback. That is

505
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: not elite. That is a Kille Smoothie is what that is.

506
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: That's kill smoothie football. Nobody wants kill smoothie football. That's

507
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: what that is. Miami eliminated from playoff consideration, and so

508
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: the season is a wrap. Now. The plan B, which

509
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel didn't want to mention because everyone would have

510
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: started laughing. The Plan B in this boondoggle would be

511
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: Jets cast off Zack Wilson. Yep, that Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson,

512
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: which is when you have Zach Wilson or what Tua's

513
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: giving you, it's kind of like choosing do I want

514
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: to go to the electric chair or would I rather

515
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: have a nice lethal injection? Which one would be better

516
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: for me? Yeah? Sure? Now, Now, Zach Wilson his camp,

517
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: and I've heard this from a couple of people I

518
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: deal with who are in that world. The belief among

519
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: the people around Zach Wilson is he is going to

520
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: ride the coattails of Daniel Jones. That's his plan. The

521
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: people around him, they're going to campaign for him to

522
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: be the Daniel Jones of twenty twenty six. Daniel Jones

523
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: went to Minnesota for a little bit after the Giants

524
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: fired him, and then he went to Indianapolis and played

525
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: well for about seven games and then fell apart after

526
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: that and then got hurt. But he wants to be that, right,

527
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones for a couple of games became Indiana Jones,

528
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: a folk hero in the Hoosier State Redemption Avenue. It

529
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: was all there, It was all there, and even that

530
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: pipe dream, of course ended because Daniel Jones forgot to

531
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: pray and he ended up going to the Temple of

532
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Doom and his season was over. But now the Dolphins,

533
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: they never used the word bench. They didn't use the

534
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: word bench. They didn't say, hey, we're going to bench.

535
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Tua certainly whispered it. The implication was made by Mike McDaniel.

536
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: And the whispers get louder, and they go faster, louder

537
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: and faster the whispers, and so this is also keep

538
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: in mind another nail in the coffin. If the Dolphins

539
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: do this, it is another nail in the coffin for

540
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: Boy Wonder, the coffee Coffee drinking my podcast hosting amman

541
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: a coach, the Umanah coach, Mike McDaniel, who was brought

542
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: in as the whiz kid, the offensive genius Boy Wonder

543
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: from the forty nine ers, and then he was gonna

544
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: scheme up to uh and the Dolphins. We're gonna let

545
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: the good times roll, the good times, and you're gonna

546
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: go to a higher level. And how's that working out? Yeah?

547
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: Not good? All right?

548
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 9: Now?

549
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Now staying in Miamy Page two, though, we stay in Miami.

550
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: And whether he's benched now or later, I have a

551
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: feeling we'll be talking about this a lot this these

552
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: next couple of shows this week is you know, this

553
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: is our Wednesday show and we've got a couple of

554
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: shows left in the week, and this will be a

555
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: story that we revisit. But that makes that whether he's

556
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: benched immediately or they waited another week to bench to

557
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: a it's all but carved in stone that he will

558
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: be exiting stage left from South Beach, which begs the question,

559
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: and here it is if to a tongue of I

560
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: LOA is truly d and e with the Dolphins, where

561
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: does he end up next? So I wrote on the

562
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: back of a napkin while watching the NBA Cup, because

563
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm a loser, I wrote on the back of a napkin.

564
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: There that the people around to. Here's how you sell

565
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: to it. He's twenty eight years young. He's not even thirty.

566
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: He's still got prime years left in his football career.

567
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: He led the NFL on passing yards a couple of

568
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: years ago with the Dolphins, he led the NFL and

569
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: completion percentage another season in Miami. All that jazz, all

570
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: that jive right, all that jive us needs a change

571
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: of scenery. They'll say, like you just put them in

572
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: a different set of laundry, and all of a sudden,

573
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: it's like a magic eraser and abra cadabra, hocus pocus.

574
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: We're on our way. We're on our way there. Good

575
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: luck on that. Of course, the spin doctors have their version.

576
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Now we live in a little town called Realityville, and

577
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: the whispers point out that Tua has got popcorn problems.

578
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: They keep popping up. Here Toa's arm strength is a

579
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: flatter than weak old soda, So good luck on that,

580
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of ducks. He loves ducks.

581
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: He loves throwing wounded ducks. The interception to a through

582
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: in the Monday night game against the Steelers was example

583
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: one of the examples of that. It was just not good.

584
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: There a lot of floaters, a lot of floaters, and

585
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: you don't like to see those in the toilet. And

586
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying anyway, So it's just bad.

587
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: It's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bet And the

588
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: vibe Tua has settled in to being the last couple

589
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: of years dependably boring, is what he's now. I am

590
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: the mayor of Realityville. Tua is the mayor of Dollsville.

591
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: It's a little town next to Realityville. It's called Dolesville.

592
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: And once the temperature dips below forty degrees in Dolesville,

593
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: forget about it. The whatcha mcaulleague does not work. It

594
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't. The whole system freezes. It's like a busted

595
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: vending machine, is what it is. And so where does

596
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: he land? Where does Tua land? You know how we

597
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: decide these things. The malar wheel of spec yelation and

598
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna spin the malar wheel of specul around round.

599
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Big money, big money, big money. No, webbies stop, all right,

600
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: the malor wheel of speculation. Now, if you look at

601
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: it right now and the wheel stop right you can

602
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: see it because it's on the radio. Oh you can't

603
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: see it because the raid. So the wheel is stopped,

604
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: and you look at this and Tua packing his bags

605
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: right now, he's getting fitted for some new merch as.

606
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: The magic wheel of speculation says warm weather only is

607
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: what it says, warm weather only. That's what it says

608
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: on the magic malar wheel of speculation. Year. That means Saints, Raiders, Cardinals, Rams,

609
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: Oh no, not the Rams. Climate controlled football. The malar

610
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: wheel of speculation is never wrong. It is never very wrong.

611
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: The malar wheel of speculation. It is not so cold

612
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: weather teams need not apply. We are talking limited. It's

613
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: like back in the old days in baseball they had

614
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: the American League had the designated hitter and the National

615
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: League had the pitcher hitting. So if you were a

616
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: designated hitter, you were limited to about half the teams

617
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: in baseball. If you're Tua, you can't play in any

618
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: cold weather environment. Not that the Patriots need a quarterback.

619
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: But Baltimore, the Patriots, the Jets, the Giants, they're out right.

620
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: You can't go there. You can't go to Cleveland because

621
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: it's too cold there in the winter time. So you

622
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: could go to like the Detroit because they've got a

623
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: dome where you can go to Minnesota somewhere like that.

624
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go Saints, Raiders, Cardinals, Rams, climate controlled

625
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: of football to us. Next chapter is not about upside,

626
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: it's about sunshine. It's about such and a dome. We'll

627
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: take a dome. You play a dome anyway, all right,

628
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: final point to the boom tube. We go what Yeah,

629
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: we're talking boobs the boob tube. So let's start with

630
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: the apparent grassroots. So I got one of the big

631
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: fans of the show is in the Boston area. His

632
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: name is Mike. I don't mention his name or everybody

633
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: sends me stories and I usually don't right back because

634
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm a douche. But he sent me a story about

635
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: people have been very upset with Tony Romo. So I

636
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: fell down this rabbit hole, and it does appear there's

637
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: a grassroots movement to boot Tony Romo from the number

638
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: one chair on CBS. Now, a few media pundits have

639
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: gone scorched earth on mister Romo that he is regressed

640
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. He's regressed. Claims have been made that

641
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: he has spent more time golfing working on his putting

642
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: than he has on his preparation for the television job.

643
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: So there's also been some support for J. J. Watt.

644
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: Yes that JJ Watt of Houston, Texans fame to be

645
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: promoted to the top chair on those broadcasts. So the

646
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: question becomes, what are the chances that CBS demotes Tony

647
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: Romo during this NFL season? There's three weeks ago and

648
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: then CBS has got a bunch of playoff games, So

649
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: what are the chances that Romo gets demoted? All right?

650
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: So I when I saw this, I was like, Okay,

651
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: this is really And then I kept reading about it

652
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: and I was learning more about it, and I was

653
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: just laughing inside. I'm laughing. I'm not laughing outside. By inside,

654
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: I'm laughing. I'm coughing up confetti, is what I'm doing.

655
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: As a proud Back in the day, Romo sexual when

656
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Tony played for the Dallas Cowboys and we had a

657
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: talk show to do on a daily basis back in

658
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: his Dallas days. Let's check in on the Mallards Sportsbook

659
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: the odds of Tony Romo being demoted by CBS during

660
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: the season, barring some kind of Sharon Moore type scandal,

661
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: we are going to go Mallard Sportsbook odds zero point

662
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: zero zero, as in squad douche bupkis. Okay, that's what

663
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: we're going with. Goose egg donut, no frosting, nothing extra

664
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: on the doughnut. That's what we're going with. Yeah, that's

665
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: a great SoundBite that's from those days, that comes from

666
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: that era, the Ben Maler Show. We had so many

667
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: great callers back then, and there's only a couple of

668
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: them in the left, like Blind Scott some other guys

669
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: that were part of that era on the show. So

670
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: a little birdie with a very big beak, A little

671
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: birdie with a big beak tells me the bosses at

672
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: the Columbia Broadcasting Systems, better known by their gangster name CBS,

673
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: are smitten kittens with Tony Romo. Tony Romo described as

674
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the mench on the bench. No, he's not Jewish, the

675
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: mensch on the bench. Prince charming of the telestrator. He

676
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: is bewitching to those that he's around, and even if

677
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: he wasn't all of those things, even if he was

678
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: a schmock like Bill Belichick. Right, here's the killer to

679
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: the grassroots movement. CBS is paying for better or worse,

680
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: Tony Romo eighteen million dollars per season. He is signed

681
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: through twenty thirty. So if you do the math, and

682
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: if you demote him, that's fine, you still have to

683
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: pay him. CBS would have to pay Romo to be

684
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: a number two, number three broadcaster or unemployed seventy two

685
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: million to go away. There's not enough barbecue sauce in

686
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: the entire state of Texas because real barbecue doesn't need sauce.

687
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: I've tried to explain that to my wife. She says, no,

688
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: you need sauce. I said, no, you don't go to

689
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City, great Barbecue, Grece, Barbecue Town. I've been to.

690
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: It's Kansas City. They don't have sauce. They don't need

691
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: the sauce. I mean, it's optional, you don't have to

692
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: have it. But anyway, they're not going to demote him.

693
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: That's the point. They're not going to demote Romo, it's

694
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: not happening, not now, and has Romo's act on stale.

695
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: I haven't noticed. I flip around a lot, even I

696
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: know they do, usually their island game there. I really

697
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: haven't noticed. He sounds the same to me. I don't

698
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: hang on Tony Romo's every word. I'm an adult. I

699
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: form my own opinions, so I don't really care what

700
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: he's saying. But I know when Romo came onto the scene,

701
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: he was like a stick of dynamite. And now people

702
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: are saying he's like a sparkler, and I get it.

703
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: He's been around for a few years. It's the same

704
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: jokes every night, same props. It's like Carrot Top doing

705
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: comedy in Vegas, doing a residency in Vegas, and it's great.

706
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: You go see him, you're on vacation from Minnesota, and

707
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: then you know, next year you come out he's doing

708
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: the same bits. Well, who wants to see that? You've

709
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: already seen the act. You know this is the NFL.

710
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: But once the way this normally works, with very few exceptions.

711
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: Once you are in, it's like the mob. Once you're in,

712
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: there's only one way to get out, and it's not

713
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's not what you think, so that's it.

714
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you look around. They pretty much super glued

715
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: to the chair outside of Emmett Smith, who was so

716
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: bad they got rid of him. Joe Montana. People forget

717
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: because that was a million years ago. He tried broadcasting.

718
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: Wholly crap. Did he suck? Drew Brees has been terrible.

719
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: He's now back. He got a gig at Fox. I'm

720
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: assuming he still blows. I've not seen any games that

721
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: he's done yet. It's essentially a no show job. And

722
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: as far as like jj Watt, when did he become

723
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: God's gift to meet head sportscasting? I don't when did

724
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: that happen? There's no guarantee. There is no guarantee that

725
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Ribbi, and it's more likely he'll just

726
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: be some louder chop liver.

727
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,880

730
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: This is one bigvent gets grilled.

731
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 8: With the Chargers improving to ten and four despite a

732
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 8: plethora of injuries, there now seems to be a ground

733
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 8: swellow support for Jim Harbaugh to be named coach of

734
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 8: the Year.

735
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: Does he deserve it? I love Jim Harbaugh, he has

736
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: no chance. It's Mike Rabel's award. Mike Rabel is your

737
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: coach of the year for the Patriots. If not Mike Rabel,

738
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: dare I say Liam Kohne Duval County in Jacksonville, Harbaugh's

739
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: not winning it.

740
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 8: Next, as we approach the end of the regular season

741
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 8: in the NFL, if you were to redo the twenty

742
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 8: twenty five draft, who would you take number one?

743
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Overall? All right? So the draft, if you look at

744
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: the first round, it was horrific. I mean, there's hardly

745
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: anybody making any kind of impact. The only one that

746
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: really stands out is Ted McMillan of the Carolina Panthers

747
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: as your offensive rookie of the Year. Cam Ward is

748
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: to quote himself here, ass for the Tennessee Titans. So

749
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it's him. McMillan is the guy. I

750
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: don't know that I drafted him number one, but there's

751
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: nobody else that's having any real impact. Next.

752
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 8: Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon was asked about his job security

753
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 8: on Monday. He first tried to side staff the question

754
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 8: and then said, I believe in myself and I believe

755
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 8: in our team. He said, they're gonna get out of

756
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 8: this dipped. Then is ginning cooked?

757
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Well, the Cardinals will get out of the fun dip

758
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: they're in right now. I promise you they will be

759
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: good again. He will not be coaching them when they

760
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: are good again. So that's the answer, Coup, How did

761
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: we do you pass?

762
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 8: Us?

763
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: Win? I won again. I believe though Mike and Tucson,

764
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: I want again on again. I won.

765
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 9: get paid twenty dollars an hour, So as far as

829
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 9: I'm concerned.

830
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you, all right? Goat man, Rob writes

831
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: in he says, I'm sure you have heard now, my

832
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: friend Robbie the Mariner fan, has a bad case of hemorrhoids.

833
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 10: Howard pushed so hard?

834
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: How can he feel comfortable with this while well being intimate?

835
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 10: So yeah, you know, they do have some numbing stuff.

836
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 9: So if it's really causing you some issues, you can

837
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 9: put some numbing cream back there, because I know when

838
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 9: you're trying to get it on, you usually have to

839
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 9: put some pressure and you know, switch a.

840
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 10: Little bit back there, you know I talking about. So

841
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 10: if it doesn't bother you, I'm sure there's some type

842
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 10: of pain reliever.

843
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: All right. Well. JT. The Wingman writes in from just

844
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: outside Knoxville, Tennessee, says he's joining his lady there at

845
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: her holiday party this weekend and it's a jacket required event.

846
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: Should I go with a bow tie or a traditional necktie?

847
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: Some JT the Wingman.

848
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 10: Ooh, with a jacket event? Well, if you can tie

849
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 10: a bow tie, I love a good bow tie. They

850
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 10: are much harder to tie though, So yeah, I would

851
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 10: go that direction.

852
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: Here's what I would say. And I've met JT. The Wingman.

853
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: He's been with many of these events that we've done.

854
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: He's a very nice man. I always like to hang

855
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: out a good guy and he's from Wisconsin. I feel

856
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: like the bow tie is a spotlight on you as

857
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: a man because most people don't wear both. Yes, So

858
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: if you want to not get any extra attention, just

859
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: wear a regular tie. The bow tie is it's an

860
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: attention getter because most people don't wear bow ties.

861
00:47:59,760 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: Right.

862
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 10: And then even beyond that is the bulow tie.

863
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: Yes, the bolo tie that's like Philip Rivers tie, much.

864
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 10: Easier to put on. It is definitely a statement piece.

865
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: It is a statement piece for sure. And it's like,

866
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: are you a cowboy? No? No, no, I just have

867
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: a bullowtime Andy and Lionel lakes right. So, and he

868
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: says every Christmas it's the same. My gal says, don't

869
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: get me anything. She sticks with that idea for me

870
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: and that's fine. But I get her a little something

871
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: and she's irritated with me. I can't win here. Yeah, Well,

872
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: then he says, should I get her an adult toy

873
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: that's from Lorraina.

874
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 9: Well, adult toys or toys for our gifts for everybody

875
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 9: you know, you can play with them.

876
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 10: She can play with them group, it can be solo.

877
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: That's why toys are so great, It's all encompassing, is indeed? Yeah, okay,

878
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: one shop stopped all you need there. Mike the Leprechaun says,

Speaker 9: Well, if you just leave your rubber chicken at home,

887
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 9: then no one will have to worry about getting jealous

888
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 9: of one another, you know what I'm saying.

889

Speaker 1: that there was somebody's question. We don't have time for

891
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,759
