Speaker 1: Who what are your thoughts on Soto?
Speaker 2: Is it lame that this dude hasn't talked to his
Speaker 2: teammates during a twelve game skid?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's terrible, awful. Okay, I'm not a lot Okay, yeah
Speaker 2: come on now, No, A way more serious. We need
Speaker 2: a little chemistry, A way more serious question tomorrow when
Speaker 2: they have the draft party here for the NFL.
Speaker 1: Yes, we all have to get food on our way out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I know it'll be catered and it's that
Speaker 2: weird feeling of like, well, it's not my food, but yeah, ribs,
Speaker 2: I'll order some extra just for you. Pretty some uh
Speaker 2: ways home to my daughter. Dad brought home food and
Speaker 2: I actually got a question from Mike.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh great.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the first round teams tomorrow with more
Speaker 2: than one pick, Jets, two and sixteen, Giants, Browns, Chief
Speaker 2: Stelphan's Cowboys. The question was who has the most pressure?
Speaker 2: I think it's obviously the Cowboys, just based on expectations
Speaker 2: they have the twelfth and twentieth pick. Is there a
Speaker 2: clear answer for you it has the most pressure, it's
Speaker 2: the Giants. For me, we have got two top tens,
Speaker 2: two top tens. You try to do something the top
Speaker 2: top tens, and you have fans favorites already scataboo and
Speaker 2: they're and.
Speaker 3: They're yeah back, they're looking to like make do some
Speaker 3: damage this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a year where if if they draft properly,
Speaker 2: with weapons in place, they could win ten games.
Speaker 1: To make the playoffs on This could be the turnaround here.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: You know who doesn't like to pay players on the
Speaker 5: other side of the ball, and the defensive side of
Speaker 5: the ball is the Kansas City Chiefs. And they got
Speaker 5: that twenty ninth pick by trading McDuffie to the Rams.
Speaker 5: They got to get it right because they want that
Speaker 5: five year contract to be able to control it. They
Speaker 5: need a pass rusher, they'll probably be their first pick.
Speaker 5: They need a wide receiver. They have a couple of needs,
Speaker 5: but they need to get it right in the draft
Speaker 5: because of how they don't like to break out that
Speaker 5: check book.
Speaker 2: And and you got to think like, well, the Chiefs
Speaker 2: are coming off a dynasty run. You still have Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes and you you still have your core pieces.
Speaker 1: You want to keep that vibe goal.
Speaker 2: You still have Andy Reid, and you saw that Denver
Speaker 2: got a lot better. Denver should have went to the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Have they not had injuries? The Chargers are
Speaker 2: better and the Raiders are going to get better with
Speaker 2: a couple.
Speaker 1: So like the Chiefs, there is pressure to keep up
Speaker 1: with the Joneses. I guess you would say.
Speaker 2: Who has the most pressure on them? More feedback on
Speaker 2: our YouTube page at Covino and Rich FSR And of course,
Speaker 2: what do you think, dB, what.
Speaker 1: Do you social media?
Speaker 3: Dan?
Speaker 6: I think it's far and away the Dallas Cowboys. I
Speaker 6: think for giving up Michaeh. Parsons, how that turned out,
Speaker 6: so that kind of plays into this a little bit,
Speaker 6: the moves that they then made after the fact, you
Speaker 6: now have to hit these picks and for an offense
Speaker 6: that I think is fine.
Speaker 1: And there's news.
Speaker 6: Today that they're not going to negotiate a long term
Speaker 6: deal with George Pickens, so if he does sign that tag,
Speaker 6: it's they could take him next year. But I think
Speaker 6: that Dallas needs to hit because just the same stuff
Speaker 6: that you're saying about the giants in that division as well.
Speaker 6: I think that division is gettable and I just think
Speaker 6: it's the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, Dan, if I changed
Speaker 3: my mind and agree with you that it is the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys, will you admit that I do, in fact
Speaker 3: run this place.
Speaker 1: Can't do no.
Speaker 6: I think the mic, the mic that the guy who
Speaker 6: runs this place joke is actually I'm Cavino and Rich
Speaker 6: that you thought he ran this pick. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: it's not on Mike's stature. It's just that oh, that
Speaker 6: guy must be in charge.
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 1: The only thing Mike runs is this take coming up?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, let's get into it right now.
Speaker 2: We do it every week with Mike. He's got a
Speaker 2: hot take and we discuss.
Speaker 1: So let's go produce the microphone Assassin. It's time for Mike.
Speaker 1: Who runs this take?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 6: Big Mike may get to be in charge of the segment,
Speaker 6: but he still doesn't run this place. He really doesn't
Speaker 6: even run this segment when you think about it, because
Speaker 6: this Mike can be turned off by Sam at any moment.
Speaker 7: That may be true. Big Mike does get to pick
Speaker 7: the topic and then CNR offer their strong opinions on it.
Speaker 7: Consider it a warm up to midweek Major Mike who
Speaker 7: runs this take?
Speaker 1: All right, what's.
Speaker 5: Michael?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need a little help from Iowa Sam here
Speaker 3: on this. So let me ask you guys. Yeah, do
Speaker 3: you remember this iconic highlight.
Speaker 1: Third and thirty one? Quick kick?
Speaker 8: There?
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 9: Remove a flag on the play Jimmy the jet got
Speaker 9: in between him, but it's Reggie Thurton to pick up. O.
Speaker 9: Don't get a little bambal. You talk about a back player,
Speaker 9: you talk about a plan gone bad. We'll see what
Speaker 9: the flag means. But if the play holds up, it's
Speaker 9: sixteen nothing in la.
Speaker 1: No, I don't but really, no sounded old. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is? Was I alive? No?
Speaker 3: Seriously? Okay, all right, how about this one?
Speaker 1: Oh it's been an old lightsY struggle.
Speaker 9: A championship someday, but price and de chambo Pani's at
Speaker 9: the moment, I don't remember that anything.
Speaker 3: Cove No, I do nothing. Now, you guys got nothing? No,
Speaker 3: I mean no, all right, Well, I can guess the
Speaker 3: reason you don't know what any of those highlights are
Speaker 3: is because none of them mattered and nobody cares because
Speaker 3: that's an XFL highlight and a live golf highlight.
Speaker 1: Oh you got a Mike.
Speaker 8: And my take today, if it wasn't for you, is
Speaker 8: why on earth do we keep running out these secondary
Speaker 8: professional leagues that fold after two or three years XFL, USFL,
Speaker 8: three on three basketball, live golf, They never go anywhere.
Speaker 3: I don't understand. Are these just tax right offs?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What exactly is going on with these sports, with these
Speaker 3: pro leagues that nobody gives a rents?
Speaker 2: It's about it's a good take because has any of
Speaker 2: those even the Big three, like have they ever taken off?
Speaker 2: And then it's on the heels though of them saying
Speaker 2: Live Golf.
Speaker 3: Probably going to bryceon de Shamba is still out defending
Speaker 3: the Live Golf Tours says it's it's gonna go forward
Speaker 3: and they're going going to make it work. But I
Speaker 3: mean literally why Dan Bayer.
Speaker 1: Yes, So it's probably gonna end after this year.
Speaker 6: They have enough funding for the rest of this year,
Speaker 6: but the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia will not
Speaker 6: be funding it as much really at all in the future,
Speaker 6: but they have been funded for this year now. In
Speaker 6: Live's case, it was really in hopes of I think,
Speaker 6: taking over all of golf and not just being a
Speaker 6: healthy competitor to the PGA Tour. It was let's just
Speaker 6: steal all of the PGA Tours players and if that
Speaker 6: doesn't work, well, we'll see if we can maybe even
Speaker 6: team up in a way, because there had been talks
Speaker 6: of the two sides working together in the same world.
Speaker 6: The Saudis wanted in on the PGA Tour, and a
Speaker 6: lot of the reason was for sports washing to try
Speaker 6: to cover up the atrocious things that they have done
Speaker 6: in Saudi Arabia, but not everything ended up happening as
Speaker 6: they would have hoped. Live Golf never got the traction
Speaker 6: that it would have hoped, and they aren't making any
Speaker 6: money on it. They're losing millions upon millions of dollars
Speaker 6: on it, and that's why it's likely going to go away.
Speaker 2: And you know what, Mike, I I think it's ego
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you why. Okay, Cavino and I have
Speaker 2: talked about this for years. Every town or city across
Speaker 2: America has one store a storefront that no matter what
Speaker 2: goes there, it just doesn't work. Like it was a
Speaker 2: frozen yogurt plays, Oh what a cool little spot closed down.
Speaker 1: Oh it was a little burrito spot. You know, it
Speaker 1: just didn't work out.
Speaker 3: That's just because there's no parking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: But but but every next company thinks, well, my idea
Speaker 2: is good enough.
Speaker 1: They may have failed, but not me. I'm a genius.
Speaker 2: So I think it's a lot of people with big
Speaker 2: money that have had success in other avenues of their
Speaker 2: life to think, yeah, the XFL, the USFL, Live Golf
Speaker 2: all these failed, but not me. I look at it like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's definitely ego involved. For sure, you have to have
Speaker 2: big ego. You have to be overly confident to think
Speaker 2: that you're gonna be the league or the team that works.
Speaker 2: Justin Timperley said I could revive my space like that
Speaker 2: was just because he thought I'm.
Speaker 3: Cool, I'm big enough all by myself.
Speaker 2: I remember when Well, MySpace is a great example. Actually,
Speaker 2: I think it's just business. When you have a big
Speaker 2: piece of a pie, right, there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: that want a small piece of it. Like, man, look
Speaker 2: at all the money the NFL is making, Look at
Speaker 2: all the money that golf is making, Look at all
Speaker 2: the money that MySpace is making. And that just spawns
Speaker 2: competition and people want to get even a tiny piece
Speaker 2: of that or counterprogramming, if you will. Like for example,
Speaker 2: this past weekend was Coachella weekend, right, yeah, so fred
Speaker 2: Durst said publicly.
Speaker 1: Like, yo, why can't we have a new cella?
Speaker 2: Because if there's that much of a market there for Coachella,
Speaker 2: why isn't there an alternative of metal of new metal
Speaker 2: and rap?
Speaker 1: So he reached out to Lil Wayne.
Speaker 2: You know why, because there's money to be made, but
Speaker 2: it doesn't guarantee that people will come and people will
Speaker 2: care because it's an inferior sort of product and get this,
Speaker 2: but it could spawn competition. It just seems like none
Speaker 2: of these all tech leagues work because they're not as
Speaker 2: superior as the NFL, and they seem second tier. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you why, Mike. Also because sometimes a good number two.
Speaker 1: Does all right.
Speaker 2: And I watched a show on the History Channel The
Speaker 2: Toys That Made America or Built Americal The Toys that
Speaker 2: Built America.
Speaker 1: Sorry, History Boy, I'm on season three. Look it up.
Speaker 2: There was an episode about Transformers and how that's like
Speaker 2: a bazillion dollar industry, the movies, the action figures. But
Speaker 2: I was stunned to know that go Bots, which I
Speaker 2: always thought of, was like the bootleg Transformers.
Speaker 1: How much did Gobots make?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not that how much they made, it's that
Speaker 2: they came out first, and go Bots ended up like.
Speaker 1: Even old enough to remember when that happened, but like even.
Speaker 2: Though Transformers ended up being the main one, but Transformers
Speaker 2: looked at it and said we could do this and
Speaker 2: do it better, and that's what they did.
Speaker 1: And go boy, somebody millions and millions of dollars.
Speaker 2: A lot of these other like counter programmings, counter alternate leagues,
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. They always take like
Speaker 2: a week's swing at it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like they're just trying to take a piece and it
Speaker 2: never ever catches on. You understand what Mike saying and
Speaker 2: all why do it? Though, if you're not going to
Speaker 2: go all in and really try to compete with the
Speaker 2: big dog. I think it's trying to get a piece
Speaker 2: of the pie or thinking your business model so good.
Speaker 2: Like you love sour patch kids, right, love them. I
Speaker 2: mean there's a market for sour jacks. Remember these is
Speaker 2: Almo Like Blockbuster Video, there's always like the Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: always options. And I think maybe someone thinks that's such
Speaker 2: a love for football. You're making billions that even if
Speaker 2: we made a friction, if he made.
Speaker 3: A small you're saying everybody's trying to be PEPSI.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and think about it.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was an owner of the Generals back in
Speaker 2: the day, right, so I used to go to the
Speaker 2: Jersey Generals games. Is because he couldn't get an NFL team,
Speaker 2: no one would approve him. So hey, if I can't
Speaker 2: be part of that, I'll be part of this and
Speaker 2: still try to make and you know, you try to
Speaker 2: get some names and like even XFL they tried how
Speaker 2: many times?
Speaker 1: The only name I remember is he hate me.
Speaker 3: Here's the Here's why I here's why I think they
Speaker 3: do it well, Darren.
Speaker 6: Well, it was just I was just going to bring
Speaker 6: up a couple of points. Number one of the Savannah Bananas. Well,
Speaker 6: I'm not a huge fan. They have found the way
Speaker 6: to almost be competition two Major League Baseball, and it's
Speaker 6: not directly of another league playing one hundred and sixty
Speaker 6: two games at the same absolute time. It's trying to
Speaker 6: find something that people actually want to see and whether
Speaker 6: it's the you know, following the path of the Harlem Globetrotters,
Speaker 6: they've been able to find their way to do.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 6: You bring up golf, like golf has a hierarchy. There's
Speaker 6: the PGA Tour, there's the corn Ferry Tour, there's other
Speaker 6: mini tours, there's collegiate golf. But no one is going
Speaker 6: up against it. They've tried. They've tried the with the
Speaker 6: Phil and Tiger matches, and twenty years ago they would
Speaker 6: have like the Monday Night matches and all of a sudden,
Speaker 6: now the TGL, the simulator golf, that's caught a little
Speaker 6: bit of legs, but it's with the same players, it's
Speaker 6: with the same faces, so it's always interesting. There's usually
Speaker 6: not a lot of room for the consumer to want
Speaker 6: to grab out to a whole other league. But if
Speaker 6: you can be a Savannah Bananas and find your own
Speaker 6: route that way, or be a TGL golf league and
Speaker 6: find a different way to make more money off the sport,
Speaker 6: that's the way you do it.
Speaker 2: You're onto something there as always if you're doing something
Speaker 2: different enough, that's like, oh, that's a like, oh, Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 2: They've taken baseball and oh fan catches the balls and
Speaker 2: out and they do runs but also points and they
Speaker 2: have their own thing going on, right, I think if
Speaker 2: you have your own thing going on and you're not
Speaker 2: just trying to be like, well, that's what the XFL
Speaker 2: right now, I think, well they tried that originally.
Speaker 3: They were doing all kinds of I think, you know,
Speaker 3: fun weird stuff. Let everybody put whatever name they want
Speaker 3: in the back of the jersey.
Speaker 1: You didn't even mention arena football too, right, Arena football.
Speaker 1: They're trying that now. Arena football is trying to make around.
Speaker 2: The Big three had a bit of a buzz, like
Speaker 2: it was cool to see Dwaye Howard playing, but that's.
Speaker 1: All you ever get, you know what I get it?
Speaker 1: You know what makes me think of also.
Speaker 2: Not only Savannah Bananas and the hallm Globe Trotters. It
Speaker 2: makes me think of wrestling. We just got done with WrestleMania, right.
Speaker 2: For how many times has like there been like a
Speaker 2: startup like oh, TNA Wrestling or this wrestling w c W,
Speaker 2: and then you I guess that it's like a you know,
Speaker 2: it's like it's like a smaller company and maybe the
Speaker 2: goal at one point is like maybe if we're good enough,
Speaker 2: they'll try to absorb us and they'll buy us and
Speaker 2: we'll make money. Like you know, how many times has
Speaker 2: someone created some app that's not even that amazing, but
Speaker 2: someone's like, you know what, they just buy.
Speaker 3: Them, sort of like a BA NBA style or NFL
Speaker 3: NFL style.
Speaker 2: You hope that you're just part of a bigger picture,
Speaker 2: and I think we're But I.
Speaker 3: Think at this point in you know, in the world,
Speaker 3: we're beyond that. For some of these sports, there's just
Speaker 3: for the NFL, there is no competition. And I don't
Speaker 3: put you know, as much as I you know, Savannah
Speaker 3: bananas looks like fun. You're right, it's different enough where
Speaker 3: it's not indirect competition with baseball for what they're doing.
Speaker 2: The NFL is a league you'll never beat. But if
Speaker 2: you could take a piece of a pie, that's a
Speaker 2: big pie to take from. But competition is great for
Speaker 2: all business, and you know eventually someone's gonna win. Like
Speaker 2: you know, there's smaller examples. But Rich got me on
Speaker 2: that History Channel sort of vibe. We often think that
Speaker 2: Hydrox was the weak answer to Oreo, but in fact,
Speaker 2: Oreo came and kicked Hydrox's ass. Hydrox was the OG,
Speaker 2: but Oreo said, now I'm gonna be better than that.
Speaker 2: So there will be a time we might not be alive,
Speaker 2: but there might be a business plan that's better than
Speaker 2: what we're getting right now.
Speaker 3: Are you mad that I like Hydrox better than Oreo?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, so there will be a brand that overtakes some
Speaker 2: of these leaks. I think maybe one day, just that days,
Speaker 2: not right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so. I think that anybody who
Speaker 3: tries it is just it's it's hubris, like uh like
Speaker 3: Chel was saying. Originally, it's just Ego and Hubris, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna work.
Speaker 2: Competition also makes it better, right, it makes the benefit
Speaker 2: is that if they've tried some rules that the NFL
Speaker 2: has been like, that's not such a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Let's let's maybe adopt that or try it. Well.
Speaker 3: That's one of the things we're doing in sports now
Speaker 3: is our mainstream sports are now much more likely to
Speaker 3: make rule changes to make the games better. You know,
Speaker 3: when they're doing that now, they didn't do that. Baseball
Speaker 3: didn't change for decades. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know what I love about this, though, Mike, it's
Speaker 2: how hard we had to try to care about the
Speaker 2: XFL when we worked at ESPN.
Speaker 1: Oh my, we were like.
Speaker 2: Diving into the logos and the teams, like they really
Speaker 2: put so.
Speaker 1: Much into it, so much. I remember, I remember, I
Speaker 1: remember really having a fake the funk on that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, interestingly enough, I I do think it's
Speaker 2: also proof that we are such creatures of sports habit,
Speaker 2: meaning Danny g We just talked about this recently, how
Speaker 2: I don't have it in me to watch the NBA
Speaker 2: close until the playoffs, Like I have an annual calendar
Speaker 2: in my mind that like no, no, no, up until
Speaker 2: this point football football. I only consume football, and then
Speaker 2: that comes part. It's like then spring training, then baseball,
Speaker 2: then some NBA when baseball takes a little low, like
Speaker 2: we are, we already have our male or woman mental
Speaker 2: sports calendar. You can't change a forty five year old
Speaker 2: guys mental pent a forty five year old guy, maybe
Speaker 2: not a forty five year old guy, but a fifteen
Speaker 2: year old and you can can I give can I
Speaker 2: just play Devil's Advocate? Sure, what's popping right now? Olympics
Speaker 2: in every town here in La?
Speaker 1: Football? Flag football?
Speaker 2: So you can't take a piece of that pie and
Speaker 2: do like an alternate brand and brand it with a
Speaker 2: big league, get big names in there and money. NFL's
Speaker 2: behind it now, but there could be another league that's
Speaker 2: just as good, right, and they can make some money.
Speaker 2: Flag football I think could be one. And I'm telling
Speaker 2: you you may think the NBA regular seasons dead because
Speaker 2: it's now is heating up, right. NBA had a rough,
Speaker 2: kind of little lack of buzz season. But you know
Speaker 2: it's still like incredible to watch these one on one
Speaker 2: like street ball tournaments. That MK guy who was just
Speaker 2: on Logan Paul's show, I could watch that kid's videos
Speaker 2: for hours because it's so intense and so intriguing to
Speaker 2: see a new perspective of basketball. You know, someone brands
Speaker 2: that and makes a league out of it and makes
Speaker 2: it big. You know, the NBA is not as exciting
Speaker 2: two younger people as it is to watching this stuff.
Speaker 2: So there's there's a big bite to be taken. And
Speaker 2: I think that's the answer, but it's so hard to pop.
Speaker 3: I want to say, you have a good point, but
Speaker 3: I would also like to put this on the record.
Speaker 3: What what's twenty twenty six now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, by twenty thirty, nobody's talking about flag football anymore.
Speaker 3: It's gone, nobody's paying it time. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like these kids, Yeah, I think it's a lot.
Speaker 1: I put that record that I think you're so wrong,
Speaker 1: and especially when girls, I'm shocked, and it's fun to watch.
Speaker 2: My daughter played flag football and next year they're creating
Speaker 2: another girl's division, blowing up. I'm telling you it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 3: I'm not arguing that it's not fun to play and
Speaker 3: that you don't get the youth involved in playing it,
Speaker 3: but they're not going to pay money to watch it,
Speaker 3: not like they do the professional sports we have.
Speaker 2: Today, It's possible, but I mean, I'm trying to answer
Speaker 2: the question because you know what, You're absolutely right, it's
Speaker 2: Mike who runs has taken his take. Is why all
Speaker 2: these ancillary, ridiculous leagues that come out of the grand opening,
Speaker 2: Grand Clothing and live golf is the latest examp.
Speaker 6: I would say that unrivaled, the rivalry league to the
Speaker 6: WNBA has maybe had more success than anybody else would
Speaker 6: have thought they would have had. And that's I mean,
Speaker 6: for what they've done the last couple of seasons, shorter court,
Speaker 6: you know, three on three setup, but it at least
Speaker 6: has had a success and a following. You have all
Speaker 6: the most of the same players, if not all the
Speaker 6: same players from the w NBA. Not everybody moves over,
Speaker 6: but that is something that has worked. And it may
Speaker 6: be because the WFBA schedule is only three months out
Speaker 6: of the year.
Speaker 3: And it's a low bar of the w NBA as
Speaker 3: far as where they have to get to to be
Speaker 3: competitive against the WNBA. The w NBAS their numbers aren't huge.
Speaker 3: It's not like they're chasing a giant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's a great take. Man, Wait to
Speaker 2: run that take right there. Hey, we do it every Wednesday.

Speaker 10: good time. So just just to loop that back in
Speaker 10: there with poison at Brett Michaelson. Oh yeah, guys. You
Speaker 10: gotta to bear with me a little bit here. The
Speaker 10: arm of my microphone has been acting up today. I
Speaker 10: think I need some calcium. I'm also it keeps squeaking
Speaker 10: over here. It's collapsing and I got it now, so
Speaker 10: I'm not touching it. But also I don't have my
Speaker 10: notes printed out. But we're gonna just bear with me. Okay,
Speaker 10: this is mid week major, all right?
Speaker 1: With mid week it was like emphasis on the week
Speaker 1: week all right, let's uh, let's start with this, guys.
Speaker 10: We got another development in the Diana Rasini mic vable
Speaker 10: controversy that rupted about three weeks ago when someone photographed
Speaker 10: the two embracing and hanging out at an Arizona resort.
Speaker 1: In case you've been.
Speaker 10: Burrowed under a suaro cactus this whole time, Diana Rassini
Speaker 10: resigned from the herb position at the Athletic and just
Speaker 10: yesterday New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the
Speaker 10: controversy with the media in part. He said, the New
Speaker 10: England Patriots and their fans will get quote the best
Speaker 10: version of me going forward unquote. He called this whole
Speaker 10: situation of quote personal and private matter unquote, and later
Speaker 10: went on to say, long quote here I've been. I've
Speaker 10: had some difficult conversations with people I care about, with family,
Speaker 10: the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive
Speaker 10: and productive. We believe in order to be successful on
Speaker 10: and off the field, you have to make good decisions.
Speaker 1: That includes me, That starts with me.
Speaker 10: He also added, we never want our actions to negatively
Speaker 10: affect the team.
Speaker 1: We never want to be the cause of a distraction.
Speaker 10: There are comments and questions that I've answered for the
Speaker 10: team and with the team. We'll keep those private unquote.
Speaker 10: One would probably notice in those quotes I shared that
Speaker 10: Vrabel and makes no mention of reaching out to Rassini.
Speaker 10: Mike Vrabel his part in addressing those controverts in the
Speaker 10: countries yesterday midweek or major, major.
Speaker 2: Because this is the story we speculated on for two
Speaker 2: weeks now and it's the first time he addressed it.
Speaker 2: So a major story and a major announcement because what
Speaker 2: I get out of it is an admission an admission
Speaker 2: of doing something wrong. If he had to have this
Speaker 2: serious talk with his family members, it's something that to me,
Speaker 2: he thinks he did wrong, unless, of course, he has
Speaker 2: an open relationship and that's his business, none of ours,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't affect him being a coach and winning
Speaker 2: football games. But I'm beat he addressed it. I think
Speaker 2: it's major. But to me, like I said, an admission,
Speaker 2: that's what I got. What I think is major. By
Speaker 2: the time, by the time Sam was done reading that quote,
Speaker 2: I think the NFL season is about to start.
Speaker 6: Dan Buyer, Dude, guys, I got a midweek major for you,
Speaker 6: a midweek or major that it took Sam a minute
Speaker 6: in twenty seconds to say what Mike Vrabel said in
Speaker 6: thirty three seconds.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've had some difficult conversations with people that I
Speaker 11: care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players.
Speaker 11: Those have been positive and product. We believe in order
Speaker 11: to be successful on and off the field, you have
Speaker 11: to make good decisions.
Speaker 1: That includes me.
Speaker 11: That starts with me. We never want our actions to
Speaker 11: negatively affect affect the team. We never want to be
Speaker 11: the cause of the distraction. Those are comments and questions
Speaker 11: that I've answered for the team and with the team.
Speaker 11: We'll keep those private and to ourselves. Sure deeply about
Speaker 11: this football team, and I'm excited to coach him.
Speaker 2: It's very robotic, Dan, But again, it's an admission of guilt.
Speaker 1: It really is an admission of guilt. Rich he said.
Speaker 1: Mike Babel said it much better than me. He said it.
Speaker 1: He said it much more sucinctly. Again, I got.
Speaker 10: This bum microphone arm and I'm reading right off thet
Speaker 10: I'm reading right off my laptop here.
Speaker 1: It's not ideal. But thank you Dan for upending me there.
Speaker 1: Appreciate this job is the place sounds. I don't know
Speaker 1: why he just didn't. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I was in a rush here put this together, so
Speaker 10: I just quoted him, and I'm sure everyone fell asleep.
Speaker 1: Moving on here.
Speaker 10: Tom Dundon, the new owner of the Portland Ail Blazers,
Speaker 10: who has owned the franchise for less than a month now, well,
Speaker 10: he wants to start saving money with his new business venture.
Speaker 10: You guys touched on this story a little bit yesterday
Speaker 10: to save some cheese. Dunnan will have a two way
Speaker 10: player stay at home for road playoff games. Also some
Speaker 10: members of their digital team, including an award winning photographer,
Speaker 10: won't hit the road with the Blazers to cover the
Speaker 10: team in the future, and future Portland head coaches won't
Speaker 10: make as much in salary as recent coaches have made,
Speaker 10: and the belt continues to tighten. Fans were upset to
Speaker 10: learn that they would not receive free T shirts for
Speaker 10: home games during their current playoff run. Now the Trailblazers'
Speaker 10: mascots are in the cost cutting crosshairs.
Speaker 1: Brian oh No Brian Berger of Sports.
Speaker 10: Business Radio reported yesterday that Dunin feels the tea the
Speaker 10: franchise does not need two mascots who are Blazed the Trailcat,
Speaker 10: who has been around since two thousand and two, and
Speaker 10: Douglas Fur a great name who is much newer, only
Speaker 10: around since.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three.
Speaker 10: Tom Dundan saving money on eliminating a mascot position Midweek
Speaker 10: or major.
Speaker 2: I think it's mid because that's some mad You don't
Speaker 2: want to deal with a penny pincher here, But you
Speaker 2: also understand right that they're trying to save money moving forward,
Speaker 2: and they're cutting some of the fat out, and I
Speaker 2: think anyone in that position would try to do the same. Right,
Speaker 2: if you're if you're flipping the bill on a lot
Speaker 2: of things and you're seeing a lot of money, just
Speaker 2: go into the waist. You would do the same as
Speaker 2: a business officer. Then what's this guy doing or what
Speaker 2: are we paying him for? Why do we need that?
Speaker 2: You would do that too. This is major because what
Speaker 2: we're talking about penny pinching mascots. You're paying You don't
Speaker 2: need to mascots. You're paying You're paying NBA players tens
Speaker 2: of millions of dollars and you're dude cutting mascots. They
Speaker 2: said that your salary, right was based on uh, whatever
Speaker 2: was going on here at Fox Sports Radio, like it
Speaker 2: was coming out of your pocket. You wouldn't be walking
Speaker 2: around saying, what is this guy doing? What do we
Speaker 2: need him for?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about a mascot salary, what are
Speaker 2: they gonna do? Hey, if you're under six five, you
Speaker 2: get a middle seat. It's weak to penny pitch anytime.
Speaker 2: But I you can't understand. I do understand, all.
Speaker 1: Right, really quick.
Speaker 5: What's more worrisome is wanting to pay a head coach
Speaker 5: a million dollars a season.
Speaker 1: Who are you gonna get for that? Yeah, need only
Speaker 1: seven million, right.
Speaker 2: Now, that's true. Yeah, it's it's definitely a situation. I
Speaker 2: just think it's smith you want to can you squeeze
Speaker 2: one more?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: And two minutes?
Speaker 10: I got I got a couple here I'd like to
Speaker 10: get to. We'll do this, okay, this one, These last
Speaker 10: two will be quick. This is not a sports story
Speaker 10: or a pop culture story. This is a crime story,
Speaker 10: but one that I found so fascinating I had to
Speaker 10: share with you guys. All right, so, how does one
Speaker 10: steal thirty four thousand dollars in legos? Probably pretty tough. Yeah,
Speaker 10: that's a lot of legos, thirty four thousand dollars in legos. Well,
Speaker 10: a man from California. His name's Jerell Augustine of Paramount, California.
Speaker 10: He's accused of seventy thefts. He's been charged with grand theft.
Speaker 10: He would buy Lego sets and then take.
Speaker 1: Grand theft Lego, Grand theft Lego very good.
Speaker 10: He would he would take out all the plastic Lego
Speaker 10: pieces you know, this stuff actually costs money, and he'd
Speaker 10: replace them with with dry pasta. So then he'd seal
Speaker 10: the box back up. So when you shake it, you
Speaker 10: think that it's full of lego pieces. So he got
Speaker 10: away with thirty four thousand dollars with this racket. And
Speaker 10: it says, uh, yeah, seventy thefts. I don't know how
Speaker 10: many boxes that is, one hundreds, but uh, this guy
Speaker 10: swapping out lego pieces with dry posta to get away
Speaker 10: with thirty four thousand dollars in lego midweek or major,
Speaker 10: that's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pasta. That's a lot of possible.
Speaker 1: But how much money in pasta did he do? That
Speaker 1: was profiting. It's a scheme that worked for a while.
Speaker 1: It is a fascinating story, but it's a mid story.
Speaker 2: It's a mid story. It's pretty wild. He went those
Speaker 2: lengths just to you know, scam scheme that was. It's
Speaker 2: a major scheme, but it's a lot of possible. I
Speaker 2: think it's major saying because a loser legos that much,
Speaker 2: but you know, most people don't take the time through
Speaker 2: replace it.
Speaker 1: He returned, he returned the boxes.
Speaker 2: The drive major major scam and a lot of stores,
Speaker 2: a lot of pharmacies, like they take the contents out,
Speaker 2: leave the boxes. He actually had the courtesy to put
Speaker 2: something in it. Yep, Well that's the way that he
Speaker 2: keep them off his tail.
Speaker 1: Define interesting.
Speaker 10: It was like, Oh, it's it's a full it's in there.
Speaker 10: How did he get it unsealed and seal back up?
Speaker 1: So well? Sam?
Speaker 10: Interesting one more quickly then buy's gonna punch you, I know,
Speaker 10: but we gotta.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this.
Speaker 10: If you guys are on a road trip to see

Speaker 10: So George Foreman is now buried in the state of Iowa,
Speaker 10: putting him on the map for deceased boxers burial sites.

Speaker 2: see what happens with Riches Mets. Boy, does it end
Speaker 2: at twelve miserable games?
Speaker 1: One more time?
Speaker 2: Sam give you the Necessame Street throwback twelve was where
Speaker 2: it and of course Magic Pistons, Suns, Thunder some great basketball.
Speaker 2: But Lebron had a game last night twenty eight points,
Speaker 2: eight rebounds, seven assists. The Lakers are up two games
Speaker 2: to none, and it poses a lot of questions about
Speaker 2: Lebron that we talked about first hour if you missed it,
Speaker 2: But Danny G posted another hypothetical before we go. Something
Speaker 2: to think about. Yeah, he says, Danny G, one of
Speaker 2: your friends posted this questions. Right.
Speaker 5: I had a kid Jay doing a podcast with Byron Scott.
Speaker 5: He asked Scott this question.
Speaker 2: He said, if Lebron powers the Lakers all the way
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals and beats the Celtics, does he
Speaker 2: get a statue outside of Crypto dot com? Ray Now, becuse,
Speaker 2: that would be two, that would be two. That would
Speaker 2: be two. But you also have to factor in Lebron
Speaker 2: James a legend for twenty three years now in the league. Right,
Speaker 2: he's played This is eighth year, eight ninth year, eight
Speaker 2: years with the Lakers, like times, adding up one championship
Speaker 2: add another two. Absolutely gets one because he's Lebron has
Speaker 2: had significant time in two championships the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any questions. His longest tenured teammate
Speaker 1: is Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2: That's wow. No, I did not, that's wild. He played
Speaker 2: eleven years in Cleveland, eight years and with the Lakers.
Speaker 2: Let me see, let me double check that one, two, three, four, five, six, seventy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I think it's pretty obvious that he would. But
Speaker 2: where's the pushback? People don't count the twenty twenty one?
Speaker 2: Is that also part of the controversy?
Speaker 1: So much hate.
Speaker 5: There's there's a lot of Laker fans where they're like,
Speaker 5: I only loop a root for Lebron because he's on
Speaker 5: my team.
Speaker 2: Dude, how about this. I mean, it's not the hottest
Speaker 2: taken once. I've heard other people speculate this. But when
Speaker 2: people don't count the bubble thing, it's like we all
Speaker 2: lived it. It was miserable. I always looked at that
Speaker 2: as the toughest time in life, almost almost like a
Speaker 2: harder time to adjust.
Speaker 1: So that's exactly how I see it.
Speaker 2: So the fact that they were able to pull that through,
Speaker 2: I thought it was incredible.
Speaker 5: And if it was so easy, then why didn't the
Speaker 5: other teams win it?
Speaker 2: I never take away from that, So for me, it's
Speaker 2: an obvious one. But you know, we leave it to
