- 2:55Speaker 1: Hooray for newbye night. Yes, no more pulling out your hair,
- 2:59Speaker 1: listening to the regular callers. This night different than all
- 3:02Speaker 1: other nights. Try to do this every month. It was
- 3:05Speaker 1: getting late in February. We only got a few days
- 3:07Speaker 1: to go here in the month, so I thought we'd
- 3:08Speaker 1: better do it now. And we're going to do it now.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And we're doing it, and it was a knockout. We
- 3:12Speaker 1: had a guy curse. We learned about a great pizza
- 3:15Speaker 1: shop in Orlando. It was amazing that hour and I
- 3:18Speaker 1: can't wait to see what's happening when we go back
- 3:20Speaker 1: to the phones this hour. But our lead, the matl
- 3:24Speaker 1: of monologue. We start out in Indye. I am loving it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I'm like McDonald's man, I'm loving it. All of the fun, fun, fun,
- 3:32Speaker 1: fun fun that is going on at the combine in
- 3:35Speaker 1: terms of chatter, which is really good when you do
- 3:37Speaker 1: this kind of a job. So the latest involves a
- 3:40Speaker 1: fun sized quarterback. And if you have not heard, perhaps not.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And then there are all kinds of rumors, all kinds
- 3:47Speaker 1: of rumors that Alligator Arms Murray is going to be traded.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Now we've talked about that in previous episodes. You might
- 3:55Speaker 1: know the history if you're been with the show for
- 3:57Speaker 1: a long time. I was very critical of Tyler Murray.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I pointed out that he's not very good, and a
- 4:03Speaker 1: bunch of screwball fanboys at the newspaper in Arizona they
- 4:08Speaker 1: would write up every time I would rip Kyler Murray.
- 4:11Speaker 1: It became like a store. I'm guessing they will not
- 4:14Speaker 1: be writing a story once He's finally like those saying,
- 4:16Speaker 1: you know that guy Mather was, you know he was right?
- 4:19Speaker 1: Let me go ahead the limp say that does not
- 4:20Speaker 1: pop up. But we're hearing now that it turns out
- 4:24Speaker 1: Kyler Murray does not want to trade. Say what, Yes,
- 4:28Speaker 1: he does not want to trade. Does that mean he
- 4:30Speaker 1: wants to stay in Arizona? No, No, Kyler Murray, we
- 4:35Speaker 1: are now being told prefers to be released, wants to
- 4:38Speaker 1: be fired ahead of free agency the new league gear
- 4:42Speaker 1: which starts in a couple of weeks. So that is
- 4:46Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
- 4:49Speaker 1: can you explain why Kyler Murray would rather be laid off, fired,
- 4:56Speaker 1: whacked however you want to call it, rather than be traded.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So my observations. All right, I got day Spa, Terot
- 5:08Speaker 1: and whistle Stop Tour, all right, and we will combine
- 5:13Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
- 5:16Speaker 1: go one, two, three, and a B C so number one.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So this is this is a bit of a messy divorce.
- 5:27Speaker 1: It's a bit of a messy divorce here. Cardinals should
- 5:31Speaker 1: never have been in this point. It was total malfeasance
- 5:34Speaker 1: by the Cardinals. They gambled on something they knew was
- 5:38Speaker 1: not going to work, and they thought, well, maybe it'll work. No.
- 5:42Speaker 1: So Kyler Murray, as we said, he wants to be released,
- 5:45Speaker 1: not traded. Of course he does. He wants to be
- 5:48Speaker 1: the guy holding the joystick. We know he likes to
- 5:50Speaker 1: hold the joystick, picking the map and choosing what difficulty
- 5:55Speaker 1: level on the game he's going to play. That's what
- 5:58Speaker 1: this is. If Arizona trades Kyler Murray, they control the narrative.
- 6:04Speaker 1: If they fire him, he controls the spin cycle. And
- 6:10Speaker 1: now you're the bell of the ball. You get gift
- 6:13Speaker 1: cards to the day Spa, Fresh Flowers, you get the
- 6:17Speaker 1: manny and the petty and get pampered, and you're swiping
- 6:21Speaker 1: right on the entire NFL. Some desperate team.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:25Speaker 1: We always talk about how desperate some teams are, and
- 6:27Speaker 1: nobody has a quarterback. It's like four teams that have quarterbacks.
- 6:32Speaker 1: So you're swiping right and teams are like, oh wait
- 6:36Speaker 1: a minute, while you, I'm gonna get your those chocolates. Okay,
- 6:38Speaker 1: we got those. Yeah, And they will talk themselves and
- 6:42Speaker 1: twist themselves into a pretzel and they'll end up head
- 6:45Speaker 1: over heels for alligator arms Murray. We can fix him.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I want to bet, wanna bet, sucker. Don't pretend that
- 6:55Speaker 1: he's some hidden gem. He's had plenty of games under
- 6:58Speaker 1: his little belt. His resume is that of unseasoned, tofu,
- 7:04Speaker 1: soft and spongy. That is his resume. He was the
- 7:09Speaker 1: number one pick in the entire draft, number one top
- 7:14Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Right, He's got as many all
- 7:18Speaker 1: pro appearances as you have. He's never been in All Pro.
- 7:21Speaker 1: He led the NFL in nothing. He's led the NFL
- 7:24Speaker 1: in no categories despite being the top pick in the draft.
- 7:27Speaker 1: If you look at his career arc, who are the
- 7:29Speaker 1: comps historically for Kyler Murray at this point in his career,
- 7:34Speaker 1: the comps are and I don't know how old you are,
- 7:36Speaker 1: you might not know who these people are, but you
- 7:38Speaker 1: can go to Pro Football Reference and look them up.
- 7:40Speaker 1: One of them is named Aaron Brooks, who played for
- 7:43Speaker 1: the Saints. Yikes, Yauser's so you look up Aaron Brooks
- 7:49Speaker 1: were the Saints and the Jaguars. David Garrard, Yeah, that's
- 7:56Speaker 1: the comp on Kyler Murray. I guess he had better
- 8:00Speaker 1: commercials though. Kyler better commercials all right now, page two.
- 8:04Speaker 1: So there's also some noise out that multiple contending teams
- 8:08Speaker 1: have quote quote real interest close quote in adding former
- 8:14Speaker 1: Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, there's a quote strong belief that
- 8:22Speaker 1: he is going to get serious opportunity to return to
- 8:26Speaker 1: the NFL. He had stepped away. Thirty four year old
- 8:29Speaker 1: quarterback announced you might remember, I'm my aching shoulder, and
- 8:35Speaker 1: he walked away, stepped away from his quit in May
- 8:39Speaker 1: of last year, may have last year he said I'm
- 8:41Speaker 1: not playing. So the Saints still technically own his rights.
- 8:44Speaker 1: What is Derek carworth? Half a tun of sandwich or
- 8:48Speaker 1: something like that, maybe bag of chips, not a full
- 8:51Speaker 1: bag of little bag, little bag of chips. So Carr
- 8:55Speaker 1: retired because he's had this shoulder thing, the thing of
- 8:58Speaker 1: a jig wasn't working in the shoulder, was alpha say,
- 9:01Speaker 1: And he had damage to his rotator cuff as well,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and so he spent a year on sabbatical, didn't have surgery,
- 9:10Speaker 1: rehabbing his shoulder, and says there's no limitations right now,
- 9:15Speaker 1: he's good to go. And he said a couple of
- 9:18Speaker 1: weeks back, he said, hey, listen, I will come back
- 9:20Speaker 1: and play if I have a chance to win, if
- 9:24Speaker 1: I'm healthy and I have a chance to win. All right,
- 9:25Speaker 1: So question, you are the career counselor congratulations, you are
- 9:30Speaker 1: now the career counselor? Which NFL team does Derek Carr
- 9:36Speaker 1: want to play for? What do you think you advise him?
- 9:38Speaker 1: What are you you're taking his feedback? What do you think?
- 9:40Speaker 1: So before we go there? All right, before we go there,
- 9:43Speaker 1: of course, teams are going to be interested. I don't
- 9:45Speaker 1: doubt that there's going to be interested in Derek Carr.
- 9:47Speaker 1: He had people calling him last year. We heard that
- 9:49Speaker 1: the Bengals before they acquired Joe Flacco, contacted Derek Carr
- 9:56Speaker 1: that the Colts said, hey, can we get you to
- 9:59Speaker 1: come here? You know, I don't want to play for
- 10:01Speaker 1: the Colts, And so they dragged Philip Rivers out of
- 10:03Speaker 1: the backwoods of Alabama, Grandpa Philip to come play quarterback.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The NFL is a recycling plant for a slightly above
- 10:12Speaker 1: average quarterbacks. And that's it. And it's not like cars good.
- 10:18Speaker 1: He's Captain Crunch's brother, Captain check Down is what he is, right,
- 10:23Speaker 1: all fluff, no fuel, all fluff, no fuel. He'll get
- 10:28Speaker 1: his stats while his team loses by a touchdown or
- 10:33Speaker 1: two touchdowns. And now looking at the at the the
- 10:38Speaker 1: Gypsy tarot cards. If you look at the tarot cards here, right,
- 10:41Speaker 1: so we have the fool and the tower, the fool
- 10:46Speaker 1: and the tower. So chaos, upheaval. It's not it's not
- 10:52Speaker 1: like it's a football take right. It's also the emotional
- 10:57Speaker 1: body of work of Derek Carr that in big moments,
- 11:01Speaker 1: there's chaos, there's upheople, and he wants I guess he
- 11:05Speaker 1: wants validation. And I would think, based on what I've
- 11:10Speaker 1: seen the career counselor here, that Derek Carr is winking
- 11:15Speaker 1: at the Vikings and the Steelers. He's he's winking at
- 11:20Speaker 1: the Vikings and the and the Steelers, because that's it.
- 11:23Speaker 1: I mean, that's the that's the board pretty much. It
- 11:25Speaker 1: two teams is Terry Woodingland that's not unless Terry. That's
- 11:28Speaker 1: the big board. Ben's big board, Benny's big board, Vikings
- 11:32Speaker 1: and Steelers because you've got Minnesota mean it's hold h
- 11:36Speaker 1: They give they give him what Kevin O'Connell quarterback whisper
- 11:39Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and that I know Femi's excited about that.
- 11:43Speaker 1: The top guy, the football equivalent of a like a
- 11:48Speaker 1: Thermo nuclear missile, having Justin Jefferson. And so you got that,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and then Pittsburgh. There's a bit of unfinished business with Pittsburgh.
- 12:00Speaker 1: As I recall, going back to about a year ago,
- 12:03Speaker 1: a car was hoping that he would end up in
- 12:08Speaker 1: the land of the Inser with a terrible towel and
- 12:12Speaker 1: have people like Spacoli ranting and raving about him and
- 12:15Speaker 1: all that. And there was a moment in time where
- 12:18Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was taking the slow road that the Steelers considered,
- 12:25Speaker 1: considered pivoting away and going with Derek Carr. They didn't
- 12:28Speaker 1: work it out. Rogers ended up going obviously we know
- 12:31Speaker 1: how that went. He went to Pittsburgh, but Carr wanted
- 12:33Speaker 1: to play for the Steelers. He then couldn't get his way,
- 12:37Speaker 1: and he retired instead of going and playing for the Saints.
- 12:43Speaker 1: And so very Shakespearean pettiness. Shakespearean pettiness not necessarily a
- 12:50Speaker 1: great strategy. It's heartbreak. And so now the Steelers have
- 12:53Speaker 1: a new coach. Tomlin's gone, Mike McCarthy is there, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: you got DK Meg cav He's pretty good defense, a
- 13:03Speaker 1: lot of age, good names, a lot of age on
- 13:06Speaker 1: that defense. So that's not great as they continue to
- 13:09Speaker 1: chase the end of the rainbow. All right, final point
- 13:12Speaker 1: to Carolina from the theater of hard to believe, the
- 13:16Speaker 1: theater of hard to believe, we have learned the Panthers.
- 13:20Speaker 1: That's a football team, not a good one.
- 13:22Speaker 3: The Panthers are getting calls, allegedly getting calls about backup
- 13:28Speaker 3: quarterback Andy Dalton for a possible trade.
- 13:33Speaker 1: All right, So the question is this the redheaded red rifle,
- 13:38Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. So where are these Andy Dalton trade rumors
- 13:42Speaker 1: coming from with the Carolina Panthers, that's the question. So
- 13:47Speaker 1: they're coming from let me see her. Based on a
- 13:50Speaker 1: minutes long Mallard investigation, they are coming from the Carolina
- 13:56Speaker 1: Panthers facility. This has the it's got the stench of
- 14:01Speaker 1: a political ad. Buy to me, it's I don't think
- 14:06Speaker 1: it's organic. This is the cyber whistle stop torch. Yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 1: let's call it. What is this smells like a strategic
- 14:16Speaker 1: leak by the Panthers out of their building, Carolina. Whether
- 14:21Speaker 1: they have decided to move on for reasons untold behind
- 14:27Speaker 1: the scenes, or they just want someone new to be
- 14:29Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. Either way, it would appear they've decided
- 14:33Speaker 1: to move on from Sam Donald. The divorce papers are
- 14:36Speaker 1: are out there, they're printed, they haven't been signed yet,
- 14:39Speaker 1: and before they officially cut bait, they're trying to create
- 14:43Speaker 1: the illusion of leverage. Like you float a rumor that
- 14:48Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has a robust market. How much hard liquor
- 14:54Speaker 1: does one have to consume to think that Andy Dalton
- 14:58Speaker 1: has a robust market. Seriously, are we just talking at
- 15:02Speaker 1: pure straight vodka? What are we doing here anyway? Yeah,
- 15:06Speaker 1: I'm sure that's going on. I'm sure that's going on.
- 15:09Speaker 1: He's hot property unless he's something that you get rid
- 15:13Speaker 1: of at the yard sale at the flea market. Now,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I do understand. We talked about this a lot, supplying
- 15:19Speaker 1: the man and all that stuff, and I understand but
- 15:21Speaker 1: this is a little different. I mean, be honesty here,
- 15:23Speaker 1: you're talking about somebody who's thirty eight years old. I
- 15:26Speaker 1: believe Andy Dalton. You're pound the table here for Andy Dalton,
- 15:30Speaker 1: who's been below the Mendoza line as a starting quarterback.
- 15:34Speaker 1: And he says, like a backup that bounces around, he's
- 15:37Speaker 1: a cheap insurance policy. It's fine. And as a trade asset,
- 15:43Speaker 1: let's see see what a trade asset. So that's like
- 15:45Speaker 1: a stretch limo ride into Fantasyland is what that is.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And this did not I'm pretty sure this did not
- 15:52Speaker 1: come from Sam Darnold's camp. If anything, he doesn't want
- 15:56Speaker 1: to be traded, much like Kyler Murray. If you're gonna
- 16:00Speaker 1: rid of him, just release him, hit the open market,
- 16:03Speaker 1: have a bidding war for Sam Darnold to be your
- 16:05Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Yes, I always breaking news as it was
- 16:10Speaker 1: tossed out as breaking news. More like narrative management. Little
- 16:15Speaker 1: narrative management. It is the Bane Mallor show. As we
- 16:19Speaker 1: hang out, it's a Newbye Night. We roll with the

- 16:43Speaker 1: You know, he's adopted at a young age. He came.
- 16:47Speaker 1: You know, he got a terrible story, was like a sacrifice.
- 16:50Speaker 1: His mom saved him and it was just an amazing tale.
- 16:53Speaker 1: It became a classic train musician that we know all
- 16:56Speaker 1: that about Incoterara because he we're fans of his We're
- 16:59Speaker 1: fans of incot so that's that's pretty cool. He didn't
- 17:02Speaker 1: email me though he's gonna perform at Carnegie Hall, I supposedly,

- 20:30Speaker 1: calling the show? Well, that would be a tough way
- 20:32Speaker 1: to do it, because he can't call the show because
- 20:35Speaker 1: it's newby night. So he's not allowed to call the
- 20:38Speaker 1: show because it's newby night, So it's only new people.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Coming up in a little bit this hour, a canceled broadcaster.
- 20:46Speaker 1: This guy's not that famous, but the incident was pretty famous.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Has been welcome back to polite society. We will get
- 20:53Speaker 1: to that coming up in a little bit. Also a
- 20:56Speaker 1: big broadcasting shake up as well. We'll get to that
- 21:00Speaker 1: right now. A long time on the airways, a long
- 21:04Speaker 1: time on the airways. Here we have criticized Tony Dungee,
- 21:07Speaker 1: who is as close to a sleeping supplement as you
- 21:12Speaker 1: can get. It's like his nickname should be melatonin. And
- 21:17Speaker 1: Dungeon's apparently been let go by NBC. He's out, as
- 21:22Speaker 1: they have decided to shake up Football Night in America.
- 21:29Speaker 1: They said the show might be on the road all
- 21:31Speaker 1: of next season, and they're gonna slim down the rather
- 21:35Speaker 1: large cast of characters supposedly on that show, getting rid
- 21:40Speaker 1: of some of the dead weight. And there's a lot
- 21:43Speaker 1: of it. There's a lot of it. There is Jack
- 21:48Speaker 1: collins Worth going to still be there, the NEPO baby guys,
- 21:53Speaker 1: he's still gonna be there. I don't know. Apparently Dungee
- 21:56Speaker 1: will not not be there, and they down I try
- 22:03Speaker 1: not to watch those pregame shows. I will end up
- 22:05Speaker 1: seeing some of that show usually, depending on my schedule
- 22:09Speaker 1: on Sunday night, I'll a'm seeing a little bit of it.
- 22:12Speaker 1: And every time I hear Doungee, I'm like, oh man,
- 22:14Speaker 1: this is boring. This is I mean, you might like him,
- 22:18Speaker 1: nice guy, whatever, he's a really bad broadcaster, really bad, horrible. Yeah.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I mean try, I mean try not to put your
- 22:25Speaker 1: audience to sleep. That's the first rule of broadcasting. My goodness.
- 22:28Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones and we'll say
- 22:31Speaker 1: hello to Let's go to Jeff who is in Denver
- 22:34Speaker 1: on newby Night. Hello, Jeff, welcome.
- 22:40Speaker 6: Kind of fat all your last night.
- 22:43Speaker 7: You appreciate you giving props to Doug Bow when he
- 22:46Speaker 7: passed away for the Nuggets. And I was at the
- 22:49Speaker 7: game tonight against Boston when they beat him by nineteen
- 22:54Speaker 7: and they had a really nice to Doug.
- 22:58Speaker 1: But I just wanted to last nice.
- 23:01Speaker 7: Yeah, I just wanted to share a little story with you.
- 23:03Speaker 7: But I do appreciate you giving pops to Doug because
- 23:06Speaker 7: he's definitely one of the best characters of any coach
- 23:09Speaker 7: in the NBA.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Oh I love that era, Jeff of the NBA. I'd say,
- 23:14Speaker 1: and it's so corporate now, and it's all button it's
- 23:17Speaker 1: buttoned up. I know the guys don't wear suits anymore,
- 23:20Speaker 1: But that that year when it was a mom and
- 23:22Speaker 1: pop league, it was so much fun. It was. It
- 23:25Speaker 1: was great. You know, these wild characters like Frank Laden
- 23:28Speaker 1: and Doug Mo and Don Nelson, all these whack a
- 23:32Speaker 1: doodle coaches.
- 23:32Speaker 8: It was.
- 23:33Speaker 1: It was great.
- 23:35Speaker 7: As I My little tribute to the show is that
- 23:41Speaker 7: I actually played golf with Phill Haynes like a few
- 23:44Speaker 7: years back, and oh.
- 23:46Speaker 1: There you go. Great nineteen eighties Denver nog is he
- 23:48Speaker 1: a broadcaster for them now?
- 23:50Speaker 7: Yes, and yeah, he is just the same character on
- 23:56Speaker 7: TV that he is in person. That guy is a character.
- 24:00Speaker 9: Bit.
- 24:01Speaker 7: He told me that when you watched on TV, how
- 24:07Speaker 7: Doug just ripped into Bill all the time. It had
- 24:10Speaker 7: nothing to do with the game. Bill told me that
- 24:14Speaker 7: it had everything to do with what's the ever gonna
- 24:16Speaker 7: have for dinner after the game? I want steak, I
- 24:19Speaker 7: want chicken, you want I want chicken. It had nothing
- 24:22Speaker 7: to do with the game, but it made great TV.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well it is very important. You know, if
- 24:27Speaker 1: you want chicken, you don't want steak, and if you
- 24:29Speaker 1: want steak, you don't want chicken, right, Jeff, I mean
- 24:31Speaker 1: that's it's kind of obvious here.
- 24:33Speaker 7: So right, Well, when when Bill would come off the floor,
- 24:36Speaker 7: everybody on the TV thought he was ripping him for,
- 24:39Speaker 7: you know, playing and stuff like that. But he said
- 24:41Speaker 7: that a lot of the times it was just about
- 24:43Speaker 7: what they were going to have for dinner after the game.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Well, that's great, Uh, I love it. I was And Jeff,
- 24:48Speaker 1: I consider you you're not a regular, You're a seasonal caller.
- 24:52Speaker 1: You're you're a seasonal employee, Jeff, is what I consider you?
- 24:56Speaker 4: Right?
- 24:56Speaker 1: Because when the Nuggets are in the playoffs, you'll be back, right,
- 24:58Speaker 1: You'll be back every night anting and raving.
- 25:00Speaker 7: Oh yeah, but I'm just a little confused on what
- 25:05Speaker 7: to make it this year's team because they lose to
- 25:09Speaker 7: the Clippers, beat Portland by fifty seven, lose to Golden
- 25:14Speaker 7: State with no starters, and beat Boston by nineteen.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, well, there's a lot of those regular season
- 25:22Speaker 1: it depends on like, did you go out the night
- 25:25Speaker 1: before the game in LA maybe? You know that kind
- 25:28Speaker 1: of thing when you're not locked in. You know the
- 25:31Speaker 1: Celtics where they at the end of a trip. I
- 25:33Speaker 1: don't know, they've been on the road for a while.
- 25:34Speaker 1: So those kind of things factor in. But all right, yeah,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I know you're at the Gay. I saw I was
- 25:40Speaker 1: watching the game. I did see the game. I didn't
- 25:41Speaker 1: see you on TV. But the Doug Mowe tribute. That's great.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Let's say hello to there's Jeff. Let's go to Rodney,
- 25:46Speaker 1: who's in Old Oklahoma, and we have coming up later
- 25:49Speaker 1: this hour, we have Mallard to the third degree. Mallard
- 25:52Speaker 1: to the third degree. What's going on? Rodney? Welcome?
- 25:57Speaker 10: What's going on? Well, how are you doing that?

- 26:12Speaker 10: to Off Parker all the time and now I always
- 26:15Speaker 10: say that that radio shows the land, and now they're
- 26:18Speaker 10: when people are sleeping.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Well, I I appreciate the uh. I appreciate the promotion.
- 26:28Speaker 1: What was your I couldn't make out that. There's a
- 26:30Speaker 1: lot of ambient noise. I'm trying to make out the
- 26:32Speaker 1: question with something about the NBA or something like that.
- 26:36Speaker 10: Yeah, I said, who do you got went in it
- 26:38Speaker 10: this year?
- 26:38Speaker 9: I got the Spurs?
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I yeah, I lean At this point, I'm gonna go, Okay,
- 26:46Speaker 1: see because shake jogis Alexander's gonna be back and they're
- 26:49Speaker 1: they're loaded and all that. But I wouldn't have to me.
- 26:52Speaker 1: It's pretty wide open. The NBA is not normally like that.
- 26:55Speaker 1: And I could see Santoi's great when ten games in
- 26:58Speaker 1: a row. I watched some of that game they played
- 27:00Speaker 1: the Pistons and the other night. So anyway, all right,
- 27:04Speaker 1: I gotta go, but thank you to think very bad
- 27:06Speaker 1: phone quality, but I appreciate you, and I think he
- 27:10Speaker 1: was pointing out the great promotion that the Rob Parker
- 27:13Speaker 1: show it gives us, which is which is great. We
- 27:17Speaker 1: love Rob. I wrote that too. Actually we're big fans
- 27:19Speaker 1: of Rob park known Rob for a long time and
- 27:24Speaker 1: like the way he does his show, and you know,
- 27:26Speaker 1: he does not suck up. And I cannot stand people
- 27:30Speaker 1: that are just jock sniffers. I just I just want
- 27:33Speaker 1: to bang my head against the wall to the leeds.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And Rob's not like that, you know, holds people accountable
- 27:39Speaker 1: and critical. And let's go Robin. Who's next? It is

- 28:23Speaker 1: Right, well they had winter break.
- 28:26Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought, oh boy. But he was actually pretty normal,

- 37:21Speaker 1: back to it time now for the Insta Trivia. In college,
- 37:25Speaker 1: Blank made history as a freshman, became the first freshman,
- 37:29Speaker 1: first freshman to lead, first freshman to lead the nation
- 37:32Speaker 1: in both rushing and scoring. He was a three time
- 37:35Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy finalist, still holds the one record for most
- 37:39Speaker 1: career points per game and would go on to a
- 37:42Speaker 1: legendary career in the NFL. That is the question, What
- 37:47Speaker 1: is the answer let's see, does anyone know the answer?
- 37:51Speaker 1: We've got Rusty Koontz from Miguel on Fire, Shane Gillis
- 37:58Speaker 1: from Alf the Alien Planeter, JJ mccar he guests by
- 38:00Speaker 1: Femi Herschel Walker from Andy and Lino Lakes Teresa Teresa
- 38:05Speaker 1: Palmer's forty Today from Late Night Drug Tester, Squishy Limes
- 38:08Speaker 1: from Donkey Sausage, Danny Woodhead from Eke, Dick van Dyke
- 38:12Speaker 1: from j T The Wingman Slugs Going with the Chief,
- 38:16Speaker 1: Jay Strongbow. Do you have an answer? Please? Lorena my
- 38:20Speaker 1: best friend Tammy in Montana. No, the correct answer. Marshall
- 38:24Speaker 1: Falkes aig the state legend. Here we go, here we're
- 38:26Speaker 1: going to It's mallard. How about that? To the third degree?
- 38:32Speaker 1: This is one big vent gets grilled.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Cool hoop forty nine ers GM John Lynch that it
- 38:39Speaker 2: would take a quote fairly strong offer for them to
- 38:42Speaker 2: trade backup quarterback Matt Jones. Ben, do you think Jones
- 38:45Speaker 2: is still with San Francisco to start the season.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he wants to be right. What
- 38:49Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather be a starter? He went to San Francisco.
- 38:51Speaker 1: He did okay, not great. He did Okay, for a
- 38:54Speaker 1: couple of games, he looked really good, and you gotta
- 38:56Speaker 1: believe behind the scenes, his agent's like, listen, dude, we
- 38:58Speaker 1: gotta go somewhere and start get another opportunity. So I
- 39:01Speaker 1: believe he will be on a different team, and a
- 39:04Speaker 1: strong offer is really in the eye of the beholder.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Next, the Cowboys offered kicker Brandon Aubrey a long term
- 39:11Speaker 2: deal with the average annual salary of seven and a
- 39:13Speaker 2: half million dollars, which would make him the highest paid
- 39:15Speaker 2: kicker in the league. However, it's reported that Aubrey is
- 39:18Speaker 2: looking for ten million per season. Do you think he'll
- 39:20Speaker 2: get it?
- 39:21Speaker 1: Ben, Well, I'm gonna talk more about this later, but
- 39:24Speaker 1: I know I don't think he's gonna get ten million
- 39:25Speaker 1: a year. And I'm gonna tell you later on why
- 39:28Speaker 1: this is actually a not a good thing Brandon Aubrey.
- 39:32Speaker 1: It's a double edged sword for him in Dallas.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Next, Chris Sale has been reborn in Atlanta, winning the
- 39:40Speaker 2: Cy Young in twenty twenty four and making the All
- 39:41Speaker 2: Star team last year, Ben, do you think Sale has
- 39:44Speaker 2: a shot at the Hall of Fame again? He was
- 39:46Speaker 2: on pace, but then he wasn't.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Maybe is he again, Well, you know how many more
- 39:51Speaker 1: years is he gonna go? He did win the World
- 39:54Speaker 1: Series with the Red Sox. He was dominant. He's a
- 39:58Speaker 1: borderline Hall of Famer. I don't even know who makes
- 40:03Speaker 1: some of these guys. Carlos Beltron's in the freaking Hall
- 40:06Speaker 1: of Fame now right. Some of these people that are
- 40:09Speaker 1: in the Hall of Famer like these are the terrible.
- 40:11Speaker 1: So I don't even know. I would not put him in,
- 40:14Speaker 1: but he's a borderline Hall of Famer. How did we do, Koblelop?
- 40:17Speaker 1: You passed this edition? That is it would put it
- 40:19Speaker 1: on the board. That is a winner, winn win a
- 40:23Speaker 1: chicken dinner.
