After Team USA was embarrassed, humiliated 71 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: and shamed, the walk of shame off the field losing 72 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: to the team from Venezuela as the World Baseball Classic, 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: it's a final. Now it is a final. And so 74 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: after Venezuela beat the USA in the title game in Miami, 75 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: some comments made by Commissioner Rob Manford, better known by 76 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: his nickname Manfraud. So Rob Manford addressing what's next, what's 77 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: next baseball? This World Baseball Classic, they would say an 78 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: all time high. I was a skeptic. I had very 79 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: low expectations. I enjoyed it because of my low expectations. 80 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: It is an imperfect event. It will always be an 81 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: imperfect event because of the fact that there are guard 82 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: rails and rules and all that. Anyway, get to the point. 83 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: So Rob Manford implied, if you didn't hear about this, 84 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: perhaps not. Manford implied that Major League Baseball is looking 85 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to move the World Baseball Classic to the middle of 86 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: the season. This has been something that's been talked about. 87 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: And you know, you adrenaline junkies, Oh this is great. 88 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Oh Man played in the middle of the summer on 89 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten degrees, So I don't play in 90 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the middle of the season instead of spring training in 91 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: the future. Now, one popular theory by popular people is 92 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball would play the early games, the 93 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: early games of the World Baseball Classic pool in March, 94 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: the games nobody really wants to watch, the finn the Herd, 95 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: and then the quarterfinals, the semi finals, and the finals 96 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: would be played at whatever the venue is for the 97 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: All Star Game. This would require baseball to have a 98 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: elongated All Star break, and it's a good jumping off 99 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: with so let us discuss as we bandy this about. 100 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: So the question what is Rob Manford looking to accomplish 101 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball by moving the World Baseball Classic 102 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: to sometime in July. So my views on this, I've 103 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: got Walgreens Salem and Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and we 104 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are 105 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: going to run like clockwork. Like clockwork, We're gonna do it. 106 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: We are now, first of all, to answer the question, 107 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: what is Rob Manford doing moving the World Baseball Classic 108 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: to July. This is the plan. Official, it's a plan. 109 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he's doing. He's bowling, not baseball. 110 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: He's bowling this old game show, bowling for dollars straight 111 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: cash homie, as the great Randy Moss would say, with 112 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: a commissioner's tie on, and he wants to go down 113 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: to Walgreens and get a booster, a booster shot of money, money, money, 114 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: get that TV money. The greatest week of Baseball. They 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: say they're gonna have this all map down. I'm gonna 116 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: have the Futures Game, the Home Run Derby, the All 117 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Star Game, and all of these wonderful World Baseball Classic 118 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: championship games right there in the month of July. And 119 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: to me, it sounds like a shark tank like elevator pitch. 120 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: You've got one minute to make your pitch on why 121 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: this would work, and to that after hearing the pitch 122 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: by Major League Baseball, I would like to spell something out. 123 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Can I get an S? I'll play Wheel of Fortune? 124 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: Can I get an S, a T, and an O 125 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: and a P. Yeah, that's a stop stop stop stop, 126 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: stop stop stop. The month of March works. As we 127 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: have pointed out in previous episodes of this show. It 128 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: is the Bermuda Triangle of the sporting calendar. It's the 129 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: slow zone. Slow for the cone zone. It's the slow zone. 130 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: You got the super Bowl ends in mid fiber, okay, 131 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: don You've got the NFL Free agency, the build up 132 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: to that reaching a crescendo boom okay. Good. So that 133 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: that's fine, and then after that we need some stabilizers, 134 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: and that would be this before today, later today, March Madness, 135 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which is such a great event. 136 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: It's a great event where the first two days of 137 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: the event are wonderful and then it's kind of like, 138 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: I've done this rant. I'll probably do it at some 139 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: point over the weekend, either on the podcast or maybe 140 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: I'll do it tomorrow the NCAA tournament, where it becomes 141 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: less interesting the further it goes, because once your bracket 142 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: is busted, you don't really care that much. It's just 143 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: like the biggest thing. It's I used to pay attention 144 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: more than NASCAR. Bugget and bugget and bugget and bugget 145 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: and buggeting, and back in the day with NASCAR, it's 146 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: like the Daytona five hundred was huge, and then you'd 147 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: have a bunch of races which people didn't really care about, 148 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: and then it was kind of like you started with 149 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: the main event, and the basketball tournament's the same thing. 150 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: But this is about baseball, so people are this time 151 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: of the year, they're thirsty, and the World Baseball Classic 152 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: was a nice jug of gatorade. If you move it 153 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: to July, and I said, well, there's not much going 154 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: on in July in the sports calendar. It's kind of 155 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: a June July. The NBA Finals are in June. Training 156 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: camp in the NFL starts in July. It's not really 157 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: that big. Who cares about training camp, you know that 158 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: kind of people go on vacation. The weather's good, you know, 159 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: to sit around and watch a bunch of that nonsense 160 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic. So the point is this, 161 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: I said stop, and I'll say it again. This is 162 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: how good things die. This is how things human beings are, 163 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: how things get after up. I'll give you like America 164 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: formed with low taxation, right the Wan, less in taxes 165 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: and all that, and give it a couple hundred years, 166 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty years, and it might as 167 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: well have not moved here from England, just had the 168 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: same taxes and all that. It's it's insane, but it 169 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: started with good intentions, the World Baseball Classic good intentions, 170 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: and now it's at the stage where it's like, how 171 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: do we make this thing better? And it's like, well, no, 172 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: it's how do good things die? Not that this is 173 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of the World Baseball Classic, 174 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: but it's the make it better crowd, the make it 175 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: better crowd. It's never good enough. They show up with 176 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: the toolbox which is empty. Clue. They start futzing around, 177 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: they start tinkering and poking, and it's a whole thing. 178 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: And this is turning out to be a c NBC 179 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: docu show. American greed, that kind of energy, and I 180 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: guess you're gonna sell the TV package, whether it's the 181 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: Fox or NBC or god only knows who, Netflix, Amazon, 182 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: some streaming service I've never heard of, which is most 183 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: of them. And that's it. But what you should really 184 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: be working on, rather than move the World Baseball Classic 185 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: to July, you should find out a way to stop 186 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: treating the pictures like nine year olds in Little League. Now, Johnny, 187 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: you've hit your seventy pitch count. Time for some orange slices, Johnny, 188 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: but you're pitching a no hitter. It doesn't matters, little Johnny. 189 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: Your arm might fall off if you throw seventy one pitchers, 190 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: So you've got to get out of there again. It's 191 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: the voodoo medicine and all that. I know, a lot 192 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: of the older generations either dead or leaving us. The 193 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: old Pitchers. One of my favorite episodes of the podcast 194 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: I do on the weekends. I don't usually have guests 195 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: on there because it's all about me. I learned that 196 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: from Tom Looney, Tommy John, not the clothing Company, the pitcher, 197 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: Tommy John and Tommy John. He had a lot to 198 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: say that day. He ranted, and one of the things 199 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: that we talked about, I think it was on the 200 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: podcast might have been off the podcast, off the air, 201 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: because we talked off the air as well. But he's 202 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: talking about how you're supposed to throw more, not less, 203 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: and you know all the old guys, and there were injuries. 204 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: It's always been injuries in baseball, but it's like there's 205 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: more now than ever and everyone's got a theory on 206 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: that and it's just annoying. And the pitch limit thing, 207 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: it's like this, he said, well, this is a hundred 208 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: pitches is the limit in baseball, but you own the 209 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: lead up. It's seventy pitches of ridiculous. You want this 210 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: thing to really matter, right, If you want it to 211 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: really matter, take the training wheels off. Otherwise it's I 212 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: get it. It's a register wrap yourself in whatever flag 213 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: you want to wrap yourself in, and we can sell that. 214 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: And it was so over the top the pageantry before 215 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic final game with Team USA coming 216 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: in in their little hockey jerseys and then see this 217 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: is the slippery slope because we didn't really mention this yesterday. 218 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I'd seen it and I said, well, I didn't want 219 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: to go down that road. But this became a big 220 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: talking point where the guys from Venezuela. It was like 221 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: the opera. They were singing the Venezuela national anthem, and 222 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: there were a couple guys on Team USA that were 223 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: mumbling the national anthem, and this became a point of 224 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: contention for some people. And it's, well, the guys in 225 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: the US here the national anthem all the time. And 226 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: I still remember, I've been doing this so long. Before 227 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, twenty five years ago or whatever it was, 228 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: there was a push to get rid of the national 229 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: anthem before games, and then everyone became very patriotic after 230 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and it it's like, no, we can't 231 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: do that. There were a bunch of NBA players that 232 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: were running to the locker room to hide because they 233 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to be out there during the national anthema 234 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: and because they hated America and all that. So anyway, 235 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: all right, moving on, So secondly, speaking of the NBA, 236 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: we have a quote from Lebron James. Lebron James is 237 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: gonna give you the money quote here from Lebron. But 238 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: first to the business of basketball. So Lebron James partners 239 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: at the Finnway Sports Group have decided they're out. They 240 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: will not be pursuing ownership of the expansion franchise in 241 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. They will not be bidding on it. So 242 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: Lebron was asked in Houston after the Laker Rockets game. 243 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Lebron was asked if he's still interested in NBA ownership. 244 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: This is something Lebron had said was his dream. James 245 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: said he is no longer interested. He said three words, 246 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: not at all close quote So Lebron James late on 247 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday night asked if he was still interested in NBA 248 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: ownership after saying for years that was his dream. He 249 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: says he is no longer interested, not at all all right. 250 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: The first question I have is do you believe Lebron? 251 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: Do you? I don't. I don't believe Labron. I don't 252 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: believe that he's no longer interested in owning an NBA 253 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: team at I don't think that's true at all. The 254 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: other question I have with the business partners skipping the 255 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: Vegas NBA expansion again, I don't believe Lebron when he 256 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: says he's not interested. So does that end Lebron's possibility 257 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: of running an NBA team and getting an ownership stake 258 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: and running an NBA team? So over, please, this is Lebron, 259 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: Lebron if he wants, if he truly wants this, and 260 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: again he said, I'm not interested. I don't believe him, 261 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, just like when Lebron was asked about The Godfather, 262 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: his favorite scene the Godfather and he couldn't name it. 263 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: Now everyone's you know, I've I haven't seen The Godfather 264 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: more than maybe two times in my life, and I can. 265 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I can name three scenes from the Godfather, many of 266 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: them I quote. It's part of the culture. Lebron's like, oh, 267 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. And all the books Lebron was 268 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: pretending to read, so it's hard to take him seriously. 269 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: But he's not running a lemonade stand in Sheboygan. All 270 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: Lebron needs to do is attend one of those flying conferences, 271 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: the Sugar Daddy Convention. Lebron is worth one point three billion. 272 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: The Vegas expansion tab is what seven billion, ten billions, 273 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: something along those lines. That's not a gap, that's the 274 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: Grand Canyon and a toll booth out in front of 275 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon. The players are rich. Lebron's richer than most, 276 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: if not all, the owners are wealthy. Different zip codes 277 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: different zip codes, so what does he do. My advice 278 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: to Lebron is to go down to Salem, Salem, mass 279 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: right there and mix up a little billionaire, which is Brew. 280 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: You go in there, you call up the hedge fund vampires, 281 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: the tech bros, the yacht collectors, the jocksniffing aristocrats, the 282 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: robber barons, and then you front it. You be the 283 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: front guy, right, you be the front guy. You're not 284 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: gonna be able to forward the NBA team. Lebron could 285 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: be the velvet rope guy, the VIP host, the Walmart 286 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: greedor he can be that guy. Get those rich guys 287 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: in the room, shake hands, kiss rings. Boom goes Lebron, 288 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's got a minority stake 289 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: in some power and he can prove that he's somehow 290 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: as bad as Michael Jordan at running a basketball team. 291 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: All right, final thought, quickly to the NFL. We are 292 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: told the Rams are out, The Rams are no longer 293 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 1: in the running for Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown. This 294 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: would be the obligatory mal monologue about AJ Brown. The 295 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: story says Los Angeles got scared all off by some 296 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: of the preliminary medical reviews that took place they decided 297 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: too much of an investment for a player at this 298 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: age general wear and tear. We're not gonna do it, 299 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: that was the report. So it's a sticky situation, they said, 300 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: no question. Rams reportedly backing out of aj Brown trade 301 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: talks with the Eagles over the medicals. How does this 302 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: strike you? All right? So this is the way I 303 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: will approach this. I'm skeptical if this is one hundred 304 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: percent true. That said, this is the grown up way 305 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: to do it, all right, that's the grown up way 306 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: to do it. You look at the menu outside the 307 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: Bubba Gump Shrimp Company before you order, and you get 308 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: a table and you realize, well, wait a minute, I 309 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: have a shellfish allergy. So it would not be in 310 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: my best interest to go into the Bubba Gump Shrimp 311 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Company because I don't want to get hives. I don't 312 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: want to get a stuff. He knows I don't need that. 313 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: So for the RAM, if this is accurate, and again 314 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: most of this stuff, I don't think it's true, but 315 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: this is saying this is I was okay, good, that's 316 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: the way you do it. Unlike Baltimore, which also had 317 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: the medical charts for MaTx, Crosby. They bought the car, 318 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: drove it off the lot, knowing the carfax, and tried 319 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: to return it with the lemon law. Yeah, and they 320 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: did return it. Bush League, bush League, Baltimore Bush League. 321 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: Now AJ Brown tremendous player. I would want him on 322 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: my team. Now, you just come with a lot of baggage. 323 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of turbulence. I'll sit down and read 324 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: a book on the bench. Middle seat. He's like a 325 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 1: middle seat guy.

They were very 595 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: proud of it. They spent a lot of money to 596 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: update the company website. And this is in the early 597 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: days of Fox Sports Radio. So I was very excited. 598 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is great and I'm very 599 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: happy to work at the company.

So I clicked on the link too. I 607 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: was doing a weekend show at the time, and I 608 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: clicked on the link and there was a photo of 609 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: Tom Looney. I was doing a show with Looney called 610 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: The Blitz, very popular show. They canceled it though, so 611 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: I did show with Looney. He was on one side 612 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: and then I was on the other and it said 613 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: Tom Looney and then on my side it said Bill Miller. 614 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: So I yeah, yeah. So I contacted the coming. I said, well, 615 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, you screwed my name up, and they said, 616 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: don't work. You know, give us thirty minutes. We're going 617 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: to I apologize, We're going to fix that. We're gonna 618 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: we're going to fix that. And so so went back 619 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: to the to the website and then it was it 620 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 1: was Ben Miller. So that's but then I started using 621 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: that when the company whacked Eddie in November of twenty 622 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: twenty four, because Eddie used to do the ins and outs, 623 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: and so just as a tribute, that's what I started doing. 624 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: And I don't think I'm gonna do it forever. We'll 625 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: see when we might change it up, but we'll do 626 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 1: it for a little long while longer. What's next? Let's 627 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: ask Ben your questions are answers? 628 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 6: All right, we have a good one.

I'm the only fast food I'm 635 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: eating regularly, maybe once once a month, sometimes more, sometimes more. 636 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, all raised and those are not the only 637 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: I would like to rip raisin canes.
