00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: Ding Dong.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: It's our number two. All right, So let me explain

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: to you here an hour two of the Ben mal Show.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna explain it to you like you're five years old.

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: What message the Seahawks are sending to Kenneth Walker. They

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: are not planning on franchise tagging the Super Bowl. MVP

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: will also check in in Houston. What is the temperature

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: in the room around Texans quarterback c J Stroud? There

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: are conflicting reports about him being on the trading block

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: this offseason. Also, can you put into context what this

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: report about the Vikings chopping down their playbook for JJ

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: McCarthy means. We will examine it great cost who leaked

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: the story and why the story was leaked. Now we'll

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: go there as well. Settle in on this Wednesday. It

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: is our number two. Well, it's a popular game on

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: the playground. We have decided that an NFL team has

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: decided we're not gonna play tag. We're not playing tag.

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: We're not doing it. Welcome in the beginning of another

19

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: the world of Pro football and Seattle. Days after, just

44
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: days after a rollicking good time on the streets of Seattle,

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: a winner of the Lombardi Trophy there, the team that

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: represents the Pacific Northwest has made a decision here to

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: put the player most responsible in the Super Bowl for

48
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: winning the game into a place where they are twisting

49
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: in the wind. So I don't you saw this? Maybe

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: you missed it, perhaps not, but we learned that it

51
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: is highly unlikely that the Seahawks will use their franchise

52
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: tag on running back and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: These Seahawks have multiple free agents they would like to

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: keep all of them. And so the way the story

55
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: was passed on by the team and representatives of the

56
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: team for fan consumption was it's all about paying Jackson

57
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba. That is what it's this is all about.

58
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: Now.

59
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter, one of the Messenger Pigeons, says that the

60
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl tax, I'm sorry, I'll do this. I'll do

61
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: this professionally. The Super Bowl tax is why they cannot

62
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: do the franchise tag on Kenneth Walker. That's essentially what

63
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: was implied by the reporting. Also a good jumping off point.

64
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question, can you explain to me?

65
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: I would like you to explain to me, like like

66
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: you're a child, right, what is the message the Seahawks

67
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: are sending to Kenneth Walker? So they go first, I'll

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: explain to you, and I'll just pretend you're like five

69
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: years old and I'll explain this to you. What's the

70
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: message to the Seahawks are sending in they let it out.

71
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: It was obviously coming from somebody in the Seahawks organization

72
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: that they are not going to give the franchise tag

73
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: to Kenneth Walker. So my observation, I've got Huggies, Mega Church,

74
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: and Alice Cooper and we will combine all of these

75
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: things together and we are going to do the two

76
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: man bobsled is what we're going to do. So number

77
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: it's a reminder life comes at you fast. Just a

78
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: few days ago that Kenneth Walker was seemingly trying to

79
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: convince an intoxicated Seahawks executive to give him a massive contract,

80
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: and now calmer heads have prevailed, and Kenneth Walker, who

81
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: was feeling like the king of the sandbox, the king

82
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: of the sandbox, Kenneth Walker big game in the Super Bowl,

83
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: didn't score a touchdown though, and now reality is knocking

84
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: at the door. So you got John Schneider, the GM

85
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: there in Seattle, who's essentially saying, hey, yeah, Kenneth Walker,

86
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: we really do thank you for what you did in

87
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. It was really kind of cool. But

88
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 2: in order for you to stay, we need a coupon book.

89
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: We need a book of coupons. It's hometown discount or

90
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: go to the highway, get out of here. And they're

91
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: telling Kennatha Walker, even though you are the MVP of

92
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and all that, and you'll have that

93
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: title the rest of your life, in this chapter of

94
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: the book, you are like Huggies. You are Little Mover's

95
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: disposable diapers, is what you are. You're a diaper, a

96
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: disposable diaper. That's it. And you were great and it's wonderful,

97
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: but there's no way on God's green to Earth we're

98
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: paying you almost fifteen million dollars, which is what the

99
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: franchise tag is not going to happen. You just running

100
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: the piles. It's not about you, it's the running back.

101
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: Just to be clear, I wouldn't pay it running back

102
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: that much either. However, all I heard from my friends

103
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest is they do things differently.

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: They're a classy operation, and they keep their guys around

105
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: like you all told me that. Okay, so you just

106
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl. You're pretty much telling Kenneth Walker, hey,

107
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: get out of here. That's the message, right, thanks, but

108
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: no thanks, we don't really want you. And so they're like,

109
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they're they're leaking it out. We want JSN.

110
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: That's what we want. And and of cose he vanished

111
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. He was a non factor. And

112
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: the guy that carried the Seahawks across the finish line,

113
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: they're telling him hit the road, Jack and that's it.

114
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: And they're really double dog daring. The Seahawks are double

115
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: dog daring Kenneth Walker. It's like, go out and see

116
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: if there's somebody else on the playground wants to give

117
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: you all the toys. So we don't want to give

118
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: you all the toys. But I'm the king of the sandbox.

119
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. Go see if somebody else will give you

120
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: all the toy but I want the toys here now.

121
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: If you're Kenneth Walker, as I understand, he wants to

122
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: stay in Seattle. Think he's been pretty open about that.

123
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: He wants to stay there. It's got a good thing

124
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: going all that. Blah blah blah blah blah. Don't you

125
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: have have to leave? If you were advising Kenneth Walker,

126
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: don't you have to leave? This is the high water

127
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: mark of the man's career. There's always a sucker out

128
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: there that will overpay a running back, whether that is

129
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers need an

130
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: upgrade at running back. They don't normally do things like that.

131
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of teams that have suspects at running back.

132
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: So if you're Kenneth Walker, I know all I want

133
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: to stay and on him. Don't you have to go

134
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: somewhere else? They don't want to pay it. The Seahawks

135
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: have said we don't want to pay it, So don't

136
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: you have to leave?

137
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Right?

138
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: I would think unless there's some kind of backroom deal

139
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: we don't know about, they're daring you to leave. And

140
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: that whole dopamine hit from winning the Super Bowl and

141
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,479
Speaker 2: how great that was and the high which is addictive

142
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: of being the MVP, and just a few days later

143
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: it say yeah, we're good. We're good. So it's either

144
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: tighten the seatbelt a little bit and you can hang

145
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: out with Sasquatch for a couple more years, or go

146
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 2: out in the wild blue yonder and walk down the

147
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: winn A Mucker Road and see if you can find

148
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: somebody to pay. And that's that.

149
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: Now.

150
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: Page two, we go to Houston, a developing story, and

151
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: I know mister irrigation loves this idea. So the Texans

152
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: are saying, hey, we're all on board, we like our quarterback,

153
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. However, we are

154
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: hearing chatter and I love my chatter. We're hearing chatter

155
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: that Texans quarterback c Jay Stroud can be yours if

156
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: the price is right. What are you talking about? That's outrageous?

157
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: Uh?

158
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: Not really, not really. Now Todd McShay, who used to

159
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: be somebody and now he's like another podcast guy. But

160
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: Todd McShay claims it is a possibility, It is a possibility.

161
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: He used to be the NFL draft guru and then

162
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: they fight with mel Kiper and then they got rid

163
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: of him. He had some issues and so he's gone.

164
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: So mcshay's tossing it out there that CJ. Stroud could

165
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: be yours if the price is right. So the question again,

166
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: it's just a report. Texans are saying, we love our guy.

167
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: So what is the temperature in the room. What is

168
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: the temperature in the room around quarterback CJ Stroud for

169
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: the Texans going forward? So I looked and what I

170
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: did is I looked at the temperature in the mashed potatoes,

171
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: just some garlic mashed potatoes. And I looked at the

172
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: temperature of the garlic mashed potatoes. Lukewarm. That's the temperature

173
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: in the room. Lukewarm garlic mashed potatoes. That's it.

174
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 4: C J.

175
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: Stroud is at this point a false start career penalty.

176
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: He is guilty of a false start. Looked like he

177
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: had arrived and was the man, big man on campus

178
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: at the start. To use a horse racing analogy for

179
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: our friends at Churchill Downs who listen, well, we have

180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: one guy at Churchill Downs that listen. It's like a

181
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: racehorse sprinting out of the gate. You look like Secretariat

182
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: and you're just running and you're leading everybody and you're

183
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: dominating it. And for a quarter mile c J. Stroud

184
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: was the BEA's knees. Oh my god. And then he

185
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: decided to pull over to the side of the track

186
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: and he wanted to take a nap, and so he

187
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: took a nap. C J. Stroud right on the rail.

188
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: And he's been taking a nap for two years in

189
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: a row in the playoffs and so you thought you

190
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: had your forever quarterback. It was skulduggery, is what it was.

191
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: It was just schoolduggery. In the last couple of years,

192
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: he's looked more like a guy c J. Stroud who

193
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: should be running a mega church as a full time televangelist.

194
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: He would be better at that, right, better at that

195
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: than being a franchise quarterback. He just looks like he

196
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: should That's what he should be doing. He should be

197
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: a televangelist and not a quarterback. That's the way he's

198
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: played now. I got a lot of crap for my

199
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: friends in Houston when I mentioned this prior to last season,

200
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: and you don't know what you're talking about. That's why

201
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: you're doing the overnight show, blah blah blah blah blah

202
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah, and your face. I didn't

203
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: hear for one of those losers because I was proven correct.

204
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud validated the Malar monologue. And now two

205
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: years in a row, and so we have now reached

206
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: a fork in the road and they changed coordinators. Right,

207
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: They've had a championship level defense in Houston. They've gone

208
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: through a couple offensive coordinators there. The common denominator is c. J. Stroud,

209
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: and Houston is inching closer in they're inching closer to

210
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: the Tua zone or the Kyler Murray trap. Year three

211
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: entering year four. So you're already done with three years

212
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: in the NFL. You got to decide that fifth year

213
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: option thing and whether you want to keep him if

214
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: you pick up the option. Those are all decisions that

215
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: have to be made, right, and then you have to

216
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: scay to see the guy that we're gonna sign to

217
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 2: a big contract. And this is the mistake so many

218
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: of these teams make that haven't shown they're the guy.

219
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: They get paid because you think they're gonna be the guy,

220
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: and then you get stuck. You get stuck with a

221
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: stiff So the doomsday clock on the future of c. J.

222
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: Stroud continues. Is he worthy of a massive paid it No?

223
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 3: No.

224
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: If you're related, I guess, but I'm not related to him.

225
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: I don't know the guy. No. Like I said, he

226
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: placed quarterback like you should be at televangelist and at megachurch,

227
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: And there's plenty of them in Houston, so he can

228
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: pick which one he wants to work at. But that's fine.

229
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: And so is he worth aristocrat money? No bueno? No,

230
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: can I do it now? Privately, my theory on this,

231
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: it's like politicians. It's like politicians. You've got the public

232
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: versus private. Privately, the Texans are all ears. Send us

233
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: a text, use your burner phone. We'll figure this out.

234
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: We'll figure this out together. Publicly, we love our quarterback,

235
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: We stand by our guy, We support our quarterback. Way

236
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: to go, We believe in you and all this stuff.

237
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: So at some point you have to wake up and

238
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: be the adult in the room and realize that you're

239
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: not that guy. Pout, You're not that guy, and that's

240
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: the problem, and that until proven otherwise, CJ. Stroud is

241
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: a flash in the pan. That's it. And the other

242
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: problem is, even if he comes back and plays well

243
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: next NFL season, you still can't trust him because you

244
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: said two terrible seasons. So is that an aberration? You

245
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: gotta play consistently, Well, you're gonna have a couple of

246
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: bad games in a row. Whatever you gotta. You can't

247
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: have back to back stinkers. And he's not a big

248
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: game quarterback. Did you see he puked all over himself?

249
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: He rode the vomit comet in the playoff games? All right? Now,

250
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: final point? Seeing right in vomit commt we go to

251
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: Minnesota and there's a convoy of vomit comets in Minnesota.

252
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: And now CJ. Stroud's bad. But if you do a

253
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: side by side cole the challenge, he is an all

254
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: pro compared to JJ McCarthy. God is McCarthy back. His

255
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: inability to run the offense in Minnesota has come to

256
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: light a dramatic report claiming the Vikings mid season dumped

257
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: their playbook, much of their playbook. Did you see this?

258
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: No?

259
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: So the reporting is that McCarthy was so bad. How

260
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: bad was he? He was so bad that the Vikings

261
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: removed almost all of the over the middle passing concepts

262
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: during the season to dumb down the playbook because even

263
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: though McCarthy played all those games at Michigan and all this,

264
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: he's a dumb dumb so they had water down the playbook.

265
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: So the question, can you put into context what this

266
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: report of the Vikings chopping down the playbook getting read

267
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: of the over the middle passing plays for JJ McCarthy means.

268
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: So I will put it in a context. Crank up the

269
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: old boombox here, as the Great Alice Cooper screeched back

270
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: in his day. No more, mister nice guy. That's the Vikings.

271
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: No more, mister nice guys. What they're saying, it's exactly

272
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: what the Viking report. That report sounds like to me.

273
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me. It's like, Hey,

274
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell and the Viking coaching staff, they took that

275
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: playbook and they walked into the room with the paper

276
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: shredder and they shredded it. They did a bunch of delete, delete,

277
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: delete on the tablets, the files they had to get

278
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: rid of, and they said, hey, JJ, yeah, yeah, yeah,

279
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: what we're gonna need the Fisher Price version for you.

280
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna use the Fisher Price playbook for JJ McCarthy

281
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: what they put training wheels on a Harley Davidson. You

282
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: don't draft a quarterback in the first round. I don't

283
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: need to tell you this. And he sits out his

284
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: first year as a red shirt, and then you have

285
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: to dumb down the playbook because he's incompetent, Like that's

286
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: so embarrassing. My god, they bubble wrapped the quarterback. You

287
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: got hurt anyway. So as far as the leak, we

288
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: always ask the question who leaked it? Why leak it? Now? Well,

289
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: who leaked it? You think JJ McCarthy's people leaked the

290
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: fact that he's a moron and doesn't know the plays.

291
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go know, So it's the Vikings. Why would

292
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: you leak it? Not Well, you're leaking it now to

293
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: let people know that you're gonna bring in another quarterback

294
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: and that the reason you're doing that is because your

295
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: current quarterback is a Dodo bird and that's why you

296
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: have to do it. So it was not accidental. I

297
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: don't believe the leak was accidental. It was the organization

298
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: in Minnesota quietly turning off the star Trek deflector shields.

299
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: They turn them off and that's it, and they're preparing

300
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: to bring in somebody else, and whoever they bring in

301
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: is also gonna stink most likely. So you'll get that.

302
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: But you don't simplify unless you have no other options. Like,

303
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: that's a total panic move, right, that's an I mean,

304
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: everyone agree, that's a panic move by the Viking. You

305
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: don't dumb things down unless the test scores are coming

306
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: back in crayon and you're like, why, man thinking about

307
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: McCarthy had justin Jefferson, top five receiver in the NFL,

308
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: who was neutered Jordan Addison, great player, right, good player,

309
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 2: And the Vikings ranked twenty ninth in passing offense, twenty

310
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: ninth in passing offense. That is not development. That is demolition.

311
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: That is a dereliction of duties, is what that is.

312
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: And so the message is rather clear. The gloves are off,

313
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: the kid gloves are off, and the Vikings are in

314
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: the quarterback market, whether that's Kirk Cousins coming back or

315
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: taking a flyer on two, a tongue of my lower

316
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: or something like that, the game of musical chairs. It

317
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to

318

322
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: do some hot Doug motalk, but he hung up, so

323
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: bad our buddying our nugget. Homer in Denver hung up.

324
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,639

Speaker 2: nine nine, six six three six nine. So it doesn't

327
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: get talked about too much. It's a rather large story

328
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: in sports. The NHL, the NBA, and Major League Baseball

329
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: are and I don't know if you too dramatic here

330
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: are facing an apocalypse, a television apocalypse with the regional

331
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: cable sports channels going belly up. And is there a

332
00:19:54,240 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: sugar daddy that will save the future of television broadcasting

333
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: for the people at Major League Baseball, the NBA, and

334
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: the NHL. Is there someone that has stepped up with

335
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: very deep pockets that is going to save all of

336
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: these sports leagues from financial ruin. We'll talk about that,

337

360
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: So if you would like to comment on that on

361

Speaker 2: ex at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor. Also on

362
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: the phone today seven seven ninety nine, Fox Salo to

363
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: Lorena FSR Tech queen and artists as well. She'll be

364
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 2: appearing at the Louver in Peri, right next to the

365
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: Mona Lisa. There you go, all right, and that's right.

366
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: Well you get the Loraina Theater down the street and

367
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: Koober loop at a Bronco fan that's uh Bronco, and

368
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: your comments will be used against you by the court

369
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 2: of the Mallord Militia, the kangaroo court. Back to it,

370
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: ferk dog rights and says, if I was in charge

371
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: of the Vikings, I'd stick with JJ McCarthy. The Seahawks

372
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: just prove you can win with a stiff at quarterback.

373
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: That is true. That's true. The Seahawks prove you don't

374
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: need a great quarterback. You can win with a substandard quarterback.

375
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: If the Vikings improve the defense and benefit from the

376
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: worst two point conversion call of all time, they could

377
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: be in the Super Bowl next year. Yeah. So that

378
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: is a good formula. It is a copycat league. That's

379
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: a great point. So all you need is the NFL

380
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: to give you two points you did not get, and

381
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: then get home field because of those two points, and

382
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: you're on your way. And then make sure that the

383
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: one of the playoff games you play the forty nine

384
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: Ers on the road of the Super Bowl have like

385
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: half their team out with injury. That'll be good. You're

386
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: on your set. Absolutely, I agree that's what they should do.

387
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: Femi in Minnesota says, hey, Ben, Kenneth Walker may finally

388
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: learn that in the NFL, no good deed goes unpunished.

389
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: Now he's gonna get paid. Somebody will pay him. He'll

390
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: get a good amount of money. Someone will pay him

391
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: late night, whether it's the as I mentioned the Cowboys,

392
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: because that's a Jerry Jones type move where the Steelers

393
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: need a running back. I think he's from the state

394
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 2: of Tennessee. So the Tennessee Titans for Kenneth Walker, they

395
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: need to make some kind of splash, and they have

396
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: a bunch of bad football players in Tennessee, so that

397
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: could happen late night. Drug tester says, dumb down playbook

398
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: for a Michigan man. Maybe the Vikings can ask for

399
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: some of hollering James pills to keep him awake and study. Hello,

400
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: what else, do you have an idea? It definitely is

401
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: an idea. No, Stridina says a contrary to the song title,

402
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: Alice Cooper is in fact a very nice guy and

403
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: a scratch golfer. Two. I noticed how no Strydinis ignored

404
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: the Komodo dragon in the room as his team does

405
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: not want to play Kenneth Walker. So there is that.

406
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: There's that. Let's go to the phones. It is a

407
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,200

Speaker 2: Like? Are they are you if you're tall or are

00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: be in that. Can you be tall in this short program?

425
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: I don't believe they discriminate. I mean, I don't know

426
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 6: if I've seen any of the skaters that don't.

00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: and all that.

430
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 6: They might be able to. You know, we got we

Speaker 6: got phenomenal athletes of you know, all heights and you

432

434
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: But I did you know this?

00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 6: Alyssa lou is an American.

438
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 6: seventeen she said, I'm going to retire. Ben retired at seventeen,

439
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 6: and then they came back out of retirement at the

440
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: tender age of like nineteen or twenty, and she's doing

441

00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: Wow, I've read. Yeah, I know, I retire of I

443
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,400

Speaker 2: I stopped drinking soda. That was my last and.

445
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 6: Then you've always as I understand, I had skills in

446
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 6: the kitchen, you know, so you took up the cooking

447
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: and you know.

448
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: You're making your own and not always. Man, when I

449
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: was a bachelor, I didn't know how to cook. I

450
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: get those TV dinners, man, I love that, and that

451
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: was about all I did. But thank you Andre there.

452
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: You're enjoying the Olympics. You got that going for you.

453
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: You're ready to go. And do you ever decide, you

454
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: know you're in education, do you think you should just

455
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: like some of the kids, should just tank and not

456
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: try and then maybe they'll just get some free stuff

457
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 2: or something. I guess I don't know.

458
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: Now.

459
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760

460
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 6: you know, so we don't believe in tanking.

461
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: Not for you all. I don't believe in tanking.

462
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: It.

463
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. The dumbest thing we started the show. Mark

464
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: Cuban is endorsing tanking. It's and I know he did

465
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: it and all that, and the Mavericks tanked and I

466
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: hate it. I can't stand it.

467
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 6: Mark Cuban needs to back off some of these hot takes.

468
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 6: This is the same guy that said two months after

469
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 6: the pandemic. The NBA was going to be back in

470
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks in May, uh, you know, and

471
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 6: and overhead to you know, pump the brakes on that.

472
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: We should have been back in a couple of weeks.

473
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: But in hindsight it should have been back, but it wasn't.

474
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: But yeah, I hear you.

475
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 3: Right, right right.

476
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 6: And and David Stern the lake red David Stern had

477
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 6: to drop the de lightning boats on him with a

478
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 6: million dollar fines could because he kept storming the court.

479
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: So Mark Cuban, he should be happy. The NBA is

480
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 6: probably gonna get his mind right. He got some other investors.

481
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 6: Looks like he might be buying back into the Dallas

482
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 6: Mavericks if they have stand ownership, and he can he

483
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 6: can leave it at that. But Ben, you make a

484
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 6: very good point, right, the folks out there right, we

485
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 6: have this what do you want to call it? A

486
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 6: Foustian bargain? I think is what we're calling it between

487
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 6: the sports league, the NBA, and the gambling houses. Okay,

488
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 6: it's a it's a tenuous agreement. Everybody's making money, but

489
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 6: it's not. It's very difficult, very thin ice. Okay, but listen,

490
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 6: this tanking the Utah Jazz. What are you doing sitting

491
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 6: your players in the fourth quarter? The whales out there

492
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 6: where near where you are, you know, out there in Vegas.

493
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: The we don't like this.

494
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 6: We don't like this, mister Silver. So he did get

495
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 6: the call in the middle of the night, you know.

496
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 6: And who knows what his butler looks like. Maybe he's

497
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 6: a reptilian. Who knows, but he got the call. And

498
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 6: that's I think, I think you're right on it.

499
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: You know.

500
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 6: Now, all of a sudden, had him Silver wants to

501
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 6: be right out front, and this is unacceptable, and we're

502
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 6: gonna be dropping the hammer. This is the same guy

503
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 6: didn't want to drop a hammer when we found out

504
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 6: Steve Bomber had you surfed the salary cap and was

505
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 6: paying hundreds of millions of dollars on the side. Didn't

506
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 6: want to drop the hammer then. But all of a sudden,

507
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 6: now he's stepping in Ben You know, hey, hey, you know,

508
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 6: the house always wins. But if Danny Age wants to

509
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 6: sit his players in the fourth quarter of the house,

510
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 6: they win. That's so good for anybody. So Adam Silver,

511
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 6: get your mind and right you're right on tr tech rack.

512
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: There I don't want to take too much time. I

513
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 6: got to get back to the Winter Olympics, all right,

514
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 6: locked in all week though, Ben.

515
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: All Right, the week of Andre.

516
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: Tak a call.

517
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: It's the week of Andre the Giant right here on

518
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: the Ben Malors Show. So as far as the whole

519
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: Kawhile Leonard thing getting money under the table, like, from

520
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: what I understand, the issue is that it's you're gonna

521
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: open up Pandora's box here and that if you think

522
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard is the only player getting the money uh

523
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: under the table, good luck. It's just not not based

524
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: in reality. Now listen, if you you want to, I'm

525
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: fine if you want to punsch the Clippers at this point,

526
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm done. They they they're gonna be mediocre probably for

527
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: the next couple of years. And if they broke the rules,

528
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: you should punish them. But you're just gonna have a

529
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: bunch of other people ratting out the Knicks and the

530
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: Lakers and the other teams because they've been doing this

531
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: for a long time. I think he's been standard practicing.

532
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: There's side deals and whatnot. Now the Clippers might have

533
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: taken it to a new level, depending on who you believe. Well,

534
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with that. Let's go to Jola,

535
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: who's deep in the there's days in Dallas. There's always

536
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: smiling this guy that's going.

537
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm gonna say, man, you're about to go

538
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: on vacation soon.

539
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: Why would I Why would I go on vacation?

540
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

541
00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: For the people.

542
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: No, I don't have any I don't have any vacation.

543
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't think I might take a random day or

544
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: something like that.

545
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: All the daytime guys, big time guys, they laugh at

546
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: what on vacations right after put off evils.

547
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't I'm sleeping when they're on.

548
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on there. But the

549
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: company has to force men to take vacation days. Yes,

550
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: I have too much vacation. He has a work ethic.

551
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: The company does not want to fire me because then

552
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: they have to pay me my vacation days. It would

553
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: cost them a lot of money. I've acquired a lot

554
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: of I've been here twenty five years. I have a

555
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: lot of vacation days. I could take the rest of

556
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: the year off if I wanted to, and they would

557
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: have to pay me. There's a lot of vacation days.

558
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: So let me tell you this is what I'm gonna say.

559
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm taking out of your book. Have the joker, I

560
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: have much sugar enough and then I have incompetent. The

561
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: joker is h NBA commissioner. This guy has no back

562
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: both first ball. Why do you think we're not seeing

563
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley and them? As soon as they went to NCS,

564
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: he and tennis in the pockets of this guy. He said,

565
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: suppress them. He canceled their show. Then this guy getting

566
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: bullied by Danny ain't. He doesn't know what to do.

567
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: He has no backgo. Danny ain't take backing down from

568
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: this guy. Besides the joker, he's ruining his league and

569
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: wild and he's lucky that when Beyama is a batman,

570
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: he's lucky that he has the tallest spare in this

571
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: league that's willing to play hard and to say his

572
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: lead and then let's go to the sugar. But sugar is

573
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: the is the Minnesota Vikings. We were told that this

574
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: coach could be the quarterback, which burg when saw Dadey McCarthy,

575
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything in college. He was handing the

576
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: ball off hand of the ball off going little out

577
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: routs of coach in Lovelin. This guy's putent to Hall

578
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: of Famer. Okay, okay, let's talk about how they got

579
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: the GM fire. This is a good GM. He dropped

580
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: and they had the bench probably the best head coach

581
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator Chandam in the league, probably with Flores.

582
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: So I don't even understand how they could say, oh man,

583
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: they had plenty of quarter, they had Daniel Jones in

584
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: the building. It's my sugar enough. And then they'll say

585
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: they shot down them to dor Tander's doing his interview process,

586
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: saying he can't read the board. Now they're trying to

587
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: put JJ McCarthy under the bus, saying he doesn't know

588
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: how to read the defenses. It's my sugar enough. And

589
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: then the incompetent part. I'm gonna say at the end,

590
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: it's just all these guys complain in about low management,

591
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: and it was a getting pretty soft out here when

592
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: they're making all this money. I'm not saying to hear

593
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: any of it and get into a competent you know

594
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like, man, y'all making way too

595
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: much money, complaining too much. I'm ready to go out

596
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: vay Cas like Loren and go to Paris like they

597
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: go to Paris all the time.

598
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: And man, oh my gosh, I plan on going to

599
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: Paris this year. How funny was that?

600
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: Right?

601
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Really, you're gonna go to the loops.

602
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: You go in to the loop, right, that's right. Well,

603
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: she's gonna she's gonna have an unveiling at the louver

604
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: and there'll be the art will be on display there

605
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: and a fox strine. What you do is you bring

606
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: that piece of paper. You go in there with some

607
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: scotch tape and you put it up on the wall

608
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: and move and then you you can't say.

609
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360

Speaker 2: me know. We'll make sure here, all right, buddy, great Joela.

615
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: There he goes our friend Jola from Dallas. Let's salo

616
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: to Glenn in New Mexico. We have coming up there.

617
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: He is.

618
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: I hear the man right there with a birthplace of

619
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: the nuclear Bob.

620
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: What this is the actual Ben Mallard. I've been listening

621
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: to every night since he took this illustrious spot. And

622
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: I'm not even a sports fan anymore. I got this

623
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: enchanted when I was in charge of of thinking third

624
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: party annually does the revision every ten years of the

625
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 3: NCAA Handbook, and I could see in nineteen ninety vision

626
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: that I was just disenchanted. I didn't want to.

627
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: So you saw, I think what you're saying here, Glenn Is.

628
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: You saw how they make the sausage, and you no

629
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: longer want to be a sausage. I got you, I

630
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: got you, I understand, I got you.

631
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: And so that led me and my older brothers and

632
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: all my my, my friends and colleagues eventually to this

633
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 3: quit attending to professionals for us as well, because I

634
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: think that what dear Larry Cuban was saying so frankly, well.

635
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: I might Mark Cuban, Larry's uncle, work for Larry Cuban.

636
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 3: I'm in Mark, I always, I always get the name.

637
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: The two fellas confused because I happen to work have

638
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: worked with both of them anyway. I won't tell you

639
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: who market anyway, no man, I I just I'm delighted

640
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: to make your acquaintance on.

641
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: The well, let's I'm glad. And what an endorsement. Let

642
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: me tell you something, the fact that you hate sports

643
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: and you listen to a sports show. I don't know

644
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: if I should take that as a compliment or be

645
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: offended by that, but either way, I will take that

646
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: as a compliment, Glenn, that you enjoy the show and

647
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: we plausibly talk about sports unless we have Jed who Fled?

00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: cities where people live in New Mexico.

651
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,359

00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: we were gonna do. We have Mallard of the third degree.

672
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:33,439

Speaker 4: Is one big Ben gets Grail all.

708
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: Right, googloop.

709
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 5: Mike Vrabel said this week that the Patriots have quotes

710
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 5: built the foundation, but need to improve.

711
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: Where do you think they need to improve the most?

712
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: They need better wide receivers. They need at least one

713
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: stud wide receiver and really that's it. A little bit

714
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 2: better of an offensive line, and they set the foundation.

715
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: They have to prove and validate this following year against

716
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: when they when they play a tougher schedule that they're

717
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 2: not fraus. They're not gonna have as good a record

718
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: next year, but they have to. They have to legitimize it.

719
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: So I would go out and get a you know,

720
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: AJ Brown, someone like that. Next.

721
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 5: It is being reported that Jason Tatum will potentially make

722
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 5: his return to the court for the Celtics on March first, Ben,

723
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 5: do you think Tatum's return has these Celtics points for

724
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 5: a finals round?

725
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, they're already in position. There is

726
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: no one I am. I'm a glutton for punch. My

727
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: I rip the NBA all the time, but I have

728
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: it on the background, and I don't see anyone in

729
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference that is invincible. So they're right in

730
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: the middle of it already. So yes, assuming Tatum's actually

731
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: gonna be able to stay healthy and play and all that,

732
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 2: the Celtics have a shot to get to the NBA Finals.

733
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 2: There's no dominant team in the Eastern Conference, and he's

734
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: doing that for NBC next. So Steven A.

735
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 5: Smith recently took a shot at Ben Simmons, who's no

736
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 5: longer in the NBA, and they were asked why he

737
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 5: keeps taking shot to them. He said he will keep

738
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 5: catching strays as long as he's alive. He said, there's

739
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 5: no bigger thief in the history of the NBA than

740
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 5: that man, Ben. Do you agree with that, no bigger

741
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 5: thief financially?

742
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 2: You would say Ben Simmons is at the very top

743
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: money wise. I mean, there's been a lot of guys

744
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 2: stealing money in the NBA. Made of them played for

745
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: the Clippers as Ben Simmons did. How about Steven A

746
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: running for President Cook? How about that? I'd vote for him,

747
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: You vote for him? I just want somebody I know

748
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: to be president. I know him. I'd be cool. Now

749
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: he's not gonna win, all right,
