- 2:04Speaker 1: from the sun rise, not the sunset. The sun rise,
- 2:10Speaker 1: that's right. The rare and appropriate another rare and appropriate
- 2:14Speaker 1: hockey monologue. Do not get used to this. Do not
- 2:17Speaker 1: get used to this. I'm telling you, do not get
- 2:20Speaker 1: used to it. But about thirty seven miles away from
- 2:24Speaker 1: downtown Miami and just a short drive away from FSR
- 2:28Speaker 1: alumni legend, the amazing Vladimir who used to be my engineer.
- 2:32Speaker 1: He lives in Miami, the great amazing Vladimir. So on
- 2:36Speaker 1: the edge of the Florida Everglades. Right there that was
- 2:39Speaker 1: the frozen sandbox game number four of the.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Stanley Cup Final. Look, we got our own button.
- 2:46Speaker 1: There the Panthers, as you know, because you're a good
- 2:49Speaker 1: hockey fan looking to take a commanding three games to
- 2:53Speaker 1: one lead over the Oilers. Were you watching, I've seen
- 2:57Speaker 1: the ratings. You were not watching.
- 2:59Speaker 3: I know you weren't watching. Don't lie to me. You
- 3:01Speaker 3: were not watching.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I watched for you. It's our public service, it's our
- 3:05Speaker 1: good mitzvah. So the game went to over time and
- 3:10Speaker 1: Leon dry sidle at the lamp game winner and the
- 3:15Speaker 1: overtime and Edmondson, Oh got out. Edmonton beats Florida five
- 3:22Speaker 1: to four in Game four Stanley Cup Final on a
- 3:26Speaker 1: random Thursday night in June. So that series tied up
- 3:30Speaker 1: two to two. They erased a not one, not two,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but three cold deficit. They were down three to nothing
- 3:38Speaker 1: at the end of the first period. They bounced back
- 3:40Speaker 1: and they did allow a late game time goal, but
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Oilers, who took the lead for the first time,
- 3:47Speaker 1: Jake Wallman scoring the goal, was six twenty four left
- 3:51Speaker 1: in the third period. But then it was Sam reinhard boy,
- 3:54Speaker 1: this you start about a dagger with less than twenty
- 3:57Speaker 1: seconds to go on the clock, he sent the game
- 3:59Speaker 1: to overtime. And that means, now, if you're keeping scorer,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and I know you're not. Three of the first four
- 4:04Speaker 1: games of this final have gone to bonus time to
- 4:09Speaker 1: settle the outcome. And that's the first time that has
- 4:12Speaker 1: happened in over a decade. You got to go back
- 4:15Speaker 1: to twenty thirteen is fifth time in NHL history the
- 4:18Speaker 1: game winner by dry sidle eleven eighteen into the overtime
- 4:23Speaker 1: and everyone gets on a plane, a chartered flight, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: flies back to Western Canada, all even up.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Game five. Game five of a back and.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Forth dueling piano matchup will be on Saturday, and that
- 4:38Speaker 1: is a night that we do not do not get in.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And now we do do the podcast on the weekend,
- 4:43Speaker 1: but we don't do live radio on the weekend. So
- 4:45Speaker 1: I'll be watching, but I will not be bloviating about that.
- 4:48Speaker 1: But the better story is in the losing locker room.
- 4:52Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question who gets the finger
- 4:55Speaker 1: of blame and shame.
- 4:59Speaker 3: For the Florida pay anthers in this one.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got Ronko Showtime, Rotisseriy, Oxygen,
- 5:06Speaker 1: and Peacock, and we will combine all of these things
- 5:10Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some donuts, some
- 5:15Speaker 1: delicious donuts, so everyone can enjoy a nice suite.
- 5:18Speaker 3: All right, So a.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I'm going to approach this like a classic game show.
- 5:24Speaker 1: The price is right. So when you ask the question
- 5:27Speaker 1: who gets the finger of blame and shame for the
- 5:29Speaker 1: Florida Panthers, my answer is the price is right.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Sergey Bobrovsky, come on down. Yeah it was. It was
- 5:37Speaker 3: like a Ted talk gone bad.
- 5:40Speaker 1: And this is why we point out that stats tell
- 5:44Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Right,
- 5:48Speaker 1: And this is like a again, a Ted talk that
- 5:51Speaker 1: just kind of went side. Was when you break these
- 5:53Speaker 1: teams down, even if you're a novice hockey person, you
- 5:56Speaker 1: will say, this is a strength.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Over here, this is a weakness over here, and is it.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Well, there's no way that a team as good as
- 6:06Speaker 1: Florida at home will be spotted a three to nothing
- 6:11Speaker 1: lead and blow that game. In fact, it had never
- 6:14Speaker 1: happened before. That's why they play the games. The Florida franchise,
- 6:19Speaker 1: not a elite franchise, not a popular franchise nationally, but
- 6:23Speaker 1: the Panthers had never ever puked up a three to
- 6:28Speaker 1: nothing lead in the postseason entering the game. In fact,
- 6:32Speaker 1: teams were thirty seven and zero when leading in the
- 6:35Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Final, thirty seven and oh when leading in
- 6:40Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final by three or more goals in
- 6:43Speaker 1: the first period.
- 6:44Speaker 3: And now it is thirty seven and one.
- 6:47Speaker 1: You can forget that stat And Bobrovski was supposed to
- 6:51Speaker 1: be the cream of the crop, head and shoulders above.
- 6:54Speaker 3: All the rest in that so good.
- 6:58Speaker 1: He was like a ron Pull po Ronko showtime Rotisseri
- 7:02Speaker 1: infomercial back in the day. Set it and forget it.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And he started out the game final. The game was
- 7:08Speaker 1: pretty much dominated by by Florida in the beginning.
- 7:12Speaker 3: And I say, you get three to nothing lead.
- 7:13Speaker 1: But Bobrovsky seven for seven, and say, it's not that
- 7:16Speaker 1: many shots by Edmonton in the first period, and.
- 7:20Speaker 3: So after that, don't ask, don't tell, right, how about.
- 7:24Speaker 1: We will tell because this talk radio Edmonton scored not one,
- 7:27Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, five goals on the
- 7:30Speaker 1: next twenty eight shots. Now, my computer like brain tells
- 7:33Speaker 1: me using malardmath that Bobrovsky after the first period from
- 7:38Speaker 1: that point in the game, so second period, third period,
- 7:41Speaker 1: and overtime, Bobrovsky had a saved percentage of about eighty
- 7:46Speaker 1: two percent. Now, I didn't play in the NHL, and
- 7:49Speaker 1: I just hosted an overnight talk show that blows.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Okay, that blows.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Bobrovsky for some reason, thought he was the pilot and
- 7:56Speaker 1: he wanted to fly and he ended up flying the
- 7:59Speaker 1: vomit comet.
- 7:59Speaker 3: The Florida offense. Also, I mean, even go on on it.
- 8:02Speaker 1: There's other people suspended animation three goal lead. They only
- 8:07Speaker 1: got one kind of fluky late goal as we mentioned there,
- 8:10Speaker 1: with less than twenty seconds to go to force the overtime. Now,
- 8:14Speaker 1: the other part of this year, as we do our
- 8:17Speaker 1: in depth breakdown that nobody else has on Stanley Cup
- 8:21Speaker 1: Final game number four, So what does that outcome for Edmonton?
- 8:26Speaker 1: What does that do for Connor McDavid, Leon Dry Sidle
- 8:29Speaker 1: and the Oilers. So the first thing is rather obvious,
- 8:33Speaker 1: I jotted this down on my notes app on my iPhone,
- 8:37Speaker 1: is that it gives them oxygen that allows them to
- 8:40Speaker 1: take a step back and you kind of take a
- 8:42Speaker 1: deep breath here, and they were about to go on
- 8:44Speaker 1: life support. They were trying to get a hold of
- 8:47Speaker 1: some members of the clergy to come in there and
- 8:49Speaker 1: give last rites to the Oilers had they lost that game,
- 8:52Speaker 1: but you're down three goals with thirty twenty minutes gone,
- 8:55Speaker 1: forty minutes to go, and then you end up winning
- 8:58Speaker 1: an overtime. It had Stanford banned vibes. It had Stanford
- 9:03Speaker 1: banded vibes. One of the most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heartrending, exciting,
- 9:08Speaker 1: thrilling comebacks.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
- 9:10Speaker 1: So the Oilers to put it into context here, the
- 9:13Speaker 1: Oilers are the first well there's second team, but the
- 9:17Speaker 1: first team in over one hundred years to do that
- 9:21Speaker 1: on the road to overcome a three gold deficit in
- 9:24Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final to win. The only other time
- 9:27Speaker 1: it happened was when no one was watching and the
- 9:30Speaker 1: Montreal Canadians.
- 9:31Speaker 3: The HAPs got it done back in nineteen nineteen.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Back back in the day in game three. Now this
- 9:38Speaker 1: is also a refresher course.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Now what don't mean by that? A refresher course.
- 9:44Speaker 1: So, if you've listened to the show for some time,
- 9:46Speaker 1: we used to have a caller, regular caller.
- 9:48Speaker 3: I love this guy.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the great callers on
- 9:50Speaker 1: the show, and we lost him to the dreaded day shift.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Uncle Moe.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Now Uncle Moe is a radio caller in Brooklyn. Uncle
- 9:57Speaker 1: Moe in sports doesn't exist. It does not exist.
- 10:01Speaker 3: And this is a.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Textbook example, and it verifies that long.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Standing belief that I've had because.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The Panthers, if you follow the logic, this simpleton logic
- 10:13Speaker 1: of momentum, the hockey team from Florida had all the momentum,
- 10:19Speaker 1: meant all of it. I three to nothing lead at home.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Better goaltender, you got it. Hide choke factor for Edmonton.
- 10:28Speaker 1: You have everything your favor. They had all the moment
- 10:30Speaker 1: Why would they lose.
- 10:31Speaker 3: They can't lose. They had all the momentum. Why would
- 10:33Speaker 3: they give them momentum up? Because it doesn't exist. That's why.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Now more impressive.
- 10:39Speaker 1: The Lion's share of the comeback was by the flotsam
- 10:43Speaker 1: and jetsum of that hockey team, and it was not
- 10:47Speaker 1: the Connor McDavid and Leon dry Sidle that did the
- 10:50Speaker 1: heavy lifting for the bulk of the comeback and the
- 10:54Speaker 1: game winner. Yeah, I went to dry Sidle and all that,
- 10:56Speaker 1: but the other four goals were not scored by David
- 11:00Speaker 1: or dry Title.
- 11:01Speaker 3: And then you had Stuart Skinner. There was this.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Debate among the hockey people, and they were like, wow,
- 11:05Speaker 1: should this guy start because you kind of kind of
- 11:07Speaker 1: sucked the last game?
- 11:08Speaker 3: Should Stewart's you inter being goal?
- 11:10Speaker 1: And then it's like, well, you got to you gotta
- 11:12Speaker 1: dance with the one that you brought to the dance,
- 11:15Speaker 1: And so they brought Stuart Skinner in.
- 11:17Speaker 3: They started him, and then.
- 11:19Speaker 1: In the first intermission the coach there this guy now
- 11:22Speaker 1: block not Chuck knob Block, Chrisnoblock. He sent Skinner to
- 11:27Speaker 1: Siberia on one way ticket to Siberia and said get
- 11:31Speaker 1: out of here, and said, wow, it's better late than ever,
- 11:34Speaker 1: but we suck and we need to change. And so
- 11:36Speaker 1: they went to the backup, somebody named Calvin Pickard. It
- 11:39Speaker 1: sounds like a guy who would try to sell you
- 11:41Speaker 1: something knocking on your door, say I got a bag
- 11:44Speaker 1: of crap, you want to buy something here. But Calvin
- 11:46Speaker 1: Picker had just a journeyman goaltender, bounced all over the
- 11:49Speaker 1: place and he came off the bench. He faced twenty
- 11:53Speaker 1: three shots, stop all but one of them, including if
- 11:57Speaker 1: you watched the overtime was there was one of those
- 12:00Speaker 1: a deep breath moments where Sam Bennett should have won
- 12:03Speaker 1: the game, could have won the game, but didn't win
- 12:06Speaker 1: the game because of the save there by picker. All right,
- 12:09Speaker 1: now last word here, So turning the page, you've got
- 12:15Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey.
- 12:19Speaker 3: TETA. They made a surprise appearance. Mg m G.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Now this became a trending topic. You know how hard
- 12:30Speaker 1: it is to get hockey to be a trending topic
- 12:32Speaker 1: on social media. It's just almost impossible. But there they were,
- 12:36Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and Travis kelce making an unexpected appearance at
- 12:40Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Final game number four.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
- 12:48Speaker 1: So on the Mallards scorecard, which is the scorecard record,
- 12:51Speaker 1: it is not a big deal, is not a little deal.
- 12:54Speaker 3: It is not no deal. It is a massive flex,
- 12:58Speaker 3: is what it is. Right, it is.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Pump your chest out because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey
- 13:04Speaker 1: common deered the night right and the NHL in general
- 13:10Speaker 1: has this awe shocks man. You know, we're not as
- 13:13Speaker 1: popular as the other sports kind of mindset, but the
- 13:16Speaker 1: brass at the NHL on this night can strut around
- 13:19Speaker 1: like a peacock r They can have their feathers in
- 13:22Speaker 1: the air.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Everywhere, and you get to the side by side.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You know the NBA, which is built on star power,
- 13:29Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball, star power, celebrities.
- 13:31Speaker 3: All the cool kids love the NBA, and.
- 13:34Speaker 1: The biggest stars to attend the NBA Finals this year
- 13:39Speaker 1: are Adam Silver and Meadow World Peace period hard stop.
- 13:44Speaker 1: So Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce having I don't know,
- 13:47Speaker 1: was it a date night at a hockey game. I
- 13:49Speaker 1: don't know what they were doing. They're fussing around there,
- 13:51Speaker 1: but that's star power that overshadowed the.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Hockey and you know they kept away there.
- 14:00Speaker 1: There was a media frenzy, a social media frenzy, and
- 14:03Speaker 1: so forget hockey night, it's a swifty night and constant
- 14:08Speaker 1: cutaways from the ice.
- 14:09Speaker 3: TNT treating this like a.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Concert tour stop for Taylor Swift, that she had an
- 14:16Speaker 1: unexpected concert there. And I guess I've been staying down
- 14:19Speaker 1: there in the Miami area this last couple of months,
- 14:23Speaker 1: not that I knew that prior to reading a story
- 14:25Speaker 1: and the tabloids about it, like why were they there?
- 14:27Speaker 3: But apparently they're.
- 14:28Speaker 1: There anyway, and there obviously were there. I unless that
- 14:31Speaker 1: was a deep fake, they were there.

- 15:52Speaker 1: up over there for mister irrigation. Ty IRAQ dot com
- 15:56Speaker 1: the Way Tire Buying show.
- 15:59Speaker 3: So our lead.
- 15:59Speaker 1: This is from the police blotter. The police blotter. We
- 16:05Speaker 1: haven't had a good sports trial in a while. You're
- 16:09Speaker 1: a fan of trials. We might have that an NFL
- 16:12Speaker 1: legend from years gone by in some hot water if
- 16:18Speaker 1: you have not heard, perhaps not a stunning juxta position
- 16:23Speaker 1: from where he was a few years ago. Antonio Brown,
- 16:28Speaker 1: the former Pittsburg Steeler, Antonio Brown, is now a wanted
- 16:33Speaker 1: man in Miami Dade County. Antonio Brown, what did he
- 16:39Speaker 1: do well? He's wanted for attempted murder charges. That seems
- 16:44Speaker 1: like a rather serious crime.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Attempted murder.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And this all stems from an incident we talked about
- 16:49Speaker 1: a little bit when it happened about a month ago
- 16:52Speaker 1: in May May sixteenth, a celebrity boxing event in the
- 16:58Speaker 1: Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami and police say that Antonio
- 17:03Speaker 1: Brown decided he was an action hero. I added that
- 17:07Speaker 1: part grabbed the gun of a security officer, ran towards
- 17:12Speaker 1: another man, and fired at least two shots. Now, one
- 17:18Speaker 1: of those shots came very very close to ending the
- 17:23Speaker 1: life of one of the people. Grazed the neck if
- 17:27Speaker 1: it had gone through the neck turn out the last
- 17:30Speaker 1: the parties over. Now, a judge issued a warrant, setting
- 17:35Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars bond and ordering Antonio Brown to
- 17:40Speaker 1: remain under house arrest and at last report, from what
- 17:45Speaker 1: we have been able to decipher, he is still out there,
- 17:47Speaker 1: Antonio Brown.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Will he leave the country? Will Antonio Brown become a
- 17:53Speaker 3: fugitive from justice? Who knows?
- 17:55Speaker 1: Developing hot dot dot dot, So let us discuss. It's
- 17:59Speaker 1: an interesting story.
- 18:00Speaker 3: The question. We're gonna frame it this way.
- 18:02Speaker 1: So the cops in Miami, the authorities there, are seeking
- 18:06Speaker 1: to arrest Antonio Brown, the former NFL player, Antonio Brown,
- 18:11Speaker 1: on a charge of attempted murder. Your thoughts on these developments,
- 18:15Speaker 1: Your thoughts on these latest developments. So I've got microscope,
- 18:18Speaker 1: motown and police escort, and we will combine all of
- 18:24Speaker 1: these things together, and it's gonna be just like hurting frogs,
- 18:28Speaker 1: just like we're hurting frogs. Yeah, So numb burr, let
- 18:34Speaker 1: me try that again, numb bur.
- 18:38Speaker 3: There you go.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Bunkers, This story is bunkers. It is now Antonio Brown's
- 18:45Speaker 1: camp has I say camps mostly just him. But the
- 18:50Speaker 1: contention is that Hey, listen, Brown was the person who
- 18:53Speaker 1: was the victim here.
- 18:54Speaker 3: He was jumped.
- 18:56Speaker 1: He acted in self defense, claiming he was detained and
- 19:00Speaker 1: then released at the time he said they released me.
- 19:03Speaker 1: In fact, supposedly that night, the night of the shooting,
- 19:07Speaker 1: they released him. He went back to the event. So
- 19:11Speaker 1: he said, Ah, I'm not going home.
- 19:12Speaker 3: I'll go to the vent. Now here's the here's the problem.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Let's go to the videotape, the surveillance, surveillance video, the
- 19:19Speaker 1: cell phone videos.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Also, if you.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Believe the initial reporting, they claim to show a much
- 19:26Speaker 1: different story than Antonio Brown's version of events. That Brown
- 19:32Speaker 1: was punching a guy, grabbed the security officer's weapon.
- 19:37Speaker 3: And bang bang.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Now, the legal stakes on this are ginormous, as you
- 19:45Speaker 1: might imagine. That's this is not your Hey, I got
- 19:48Speaker 1: caught with the I parked my car illegally and I
- 19:50Speaker 1: got a.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Ticket, or I got busted for jaywalking.
- 19:54Speaker 1: This is a tempted murder and so attempted murder with
- 19:57Speaker 1: a firearm is a serious felony. And depending on the
- 20:03Speaker 1: exact charges, which we have not seen yet, you're looking
- 20:05Speaker 1: at decades decades in prison. So how will this play out?
- 20:14Speaker 3: Now we don't know how it's gonna play out.
- 20:17Speaker 1: However, I am a distant relative of Nostra Damis and
- 20:20Speaker 1: friend of Nostradinas.
- 20:21Speaker 3: He lives in Seattle, and.
- 20:23Speaker 1: As someone who is all knowing, all powerful, omnipresent when
- 20:27Speaker 1: it comes to these kind of stories, Antonio Brown is
- 20:31Speaker 1: going to pull out a bugle and he's gonna call
- 20:34Speaker 1: in the cavalry.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Antonio Brown, He's going.
- 20:37Speaker 1: To invoke the legal gods will come down from the
- 20:41Speaker 1: heavens here, and that means a celebrity lawyer here, a
- 20:46Speaker 1: celebrity lawyer there, a celebrity lawyer everywhere.
- 20:50Speaker 3: They're gonna enter the chat. Now.
- 20:52Speaker 1: From what we know right now, based on the available information,
- 20:57Speaker 1: it is going to come down to perception of the video, right,
- 21:01Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to how do you interpret the
- 21:03Speaker 1: cell phone video?
- 21:05Speaker 3: How do you interpret all the different footage they.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Have because everything was recorded, so the Malard microscope, under
- 21:11Speaker 1: the Malar microscope, we're looking at a frame by frame
- 21:15Speaker 1: z the Bruder film style breakdown where each side will
- 21:19Speaker 1: bring in legal experts to methodically analyze the clips and
- 21:24Speaker 1: explain why this.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Is wrong and this is guilty.
- 21:27Speaker 1: And Antonio Brown's gonna say man, this guy's the victim.
- 21:30Speaker 1: This guy's the victim. Now, if it does get all
- 21:33Speaker 1: the way to trial, and normally these things don't go
- 21:36Speaker 1: to trial because if you're facing a lot of jail time,
- 21:38Speaker 1: you work out a plea deal to lesser charges so
- 21:41Speaker 1: you avoid the big.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Part of the jail possibility.
- 21:45Speaker 1: And then there's the other possibility that the charges are dropped,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and so all those options are there. But if this
- 21:51Speaker 1: does in the multiverse, if this does go down to
- 21:56Speaker 1: a trial, just stay with me on this. You're gonna
- 21:59Speaker 1: have hand pick expert witnesses who will support Antonio Brown
- 22:04Speaker 1: and his legal argument. You're also going to have hand
- 22:08Speaker 1: picked legal experts for the prosecution. Now, AB's defense again
- 22:12Speaker 1: is going to claim listen, he was the one jumped victim,
- 22:16Speaker 1: capital be victim and he panicked. Yeah, yeah, he shouldn't
- 22:20Speaker 1: have done that, but he fired it was in self defense.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Now, the issue is was this person a threat who
- 22:27Speaker 3: he shot?
- 22:27Speaker 1: If he did indeed shoot the gun, which is what
- 22:29Speaker 1: the accusation is, and they have the video, so they
- 22:32Speaker 1: must be really confident they have they have the goods
- 22:35Speaker 1: on Brown. So was he facing Antonio Brown? Was there
- 22:39Speaker 1: a possible threat to Antonio Brown. Was he running away
- 22:44Speaker 1: from Antonio Brown. That's a problem. That is, if the
- 22:47Speaker 1: guy's running away from me and you shoot him and
- 22:49Speaker 1: it hits the neck, even if it kind of grazes
- 22:52Speaker 1: the neck, but they're going the wrong direction.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Problem, right, that's a problem.
- 22:57Speaker 1: And so they're gonna lean on these videos and there'll
- 23:00Speaker 1: be some witness testimony and all that stuff. And apparently
- 23:02Speaker 1: there was an off duty officer from one of the
- 23:05Speaker 1: stories I read that said that Brown took the weapons
- 23:07Speaker 1: during the fight.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Antonio Brown.
- 23:10Speaker 1: This guy, this guy has mastered.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Off field jar he did is a player.
- 23:18Speaker 1: My favorite Antonio Brown story is when he was sent
- 23:21Speaker 1: over to the Raiders and he never played a game
- 23:24Speaker 1: because he got frostbite on his feet and he couldn't
- 23:27Speaker 1: He couldn't play, which was great. And you also know
- 23:33Speaker 1: what his defense is going to be.
- 23:35Speaker 3: He's going to throw mercy on the court, say, listen,
- 23:38Speaker 3: I suffer from CTE.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I've got a messed up brain. I have a degendera
- 23:42Speaker 1: of brain disease, and you can't punish me. And you
- 23:47Speaker 1: know that'll be brought up. They will trot out every
- 23:51Speaker 1: possible experts. It's not his fault, he's got CT's handicapped,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and now Brown is thirty six. He turns thirty seven
- 24:01Speaker 1: next month. If I'm I believe I'm correct on that.
- 24:04Speaker 3: So if he's convicted.
- 24:07Speaker 1: And he ends up going to jail for abo fifteen
- 24:10Speaker 1: twenty years, you're looking at Antonio Brown being gonzo till
- 24:12Speaker 1: he's in his fifties or sixties.
- 24:15Speaker 3: That's a long time, long long time to be away.
- 24:18Speaker 1: All right, Now, Pace two, we had not a Cincinnati
- 24:22Speaker 1: where the food is bad according to Justin, and the
- 24:25Speaker 1: football team is not great, and the baseball team's blob.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Well, the Bengals, we'll talk about the football team.
- 24:31Speaker 1: The first round pick, the edge rusher Shamar Stewart, is
- 24:36Speaker 1: not happy. And we have an update. Stuart left the
- 24:41Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp. He's in a contract boondoggle.
- 24:47Speaker 3: With the team.
- 24:48Speaker 1: So is there cause for concern that the Cincinnati first
- 24:53Speaker 1: round pick Shamar Stewart has left mini camp?
- 24:57Speaker 3: So I've looked at this, I've examined the facts.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Despite the headlines rookie rebellion in Cincinnati plus same old
- 25:08Speaker 1: penny pinching Bengals negative publicity, despite that is their cause
- 25:14Speaker 1: for concern? The cause for concern is minimal and here's
- 25:19Speaker 1: why you queue up the motown tune Martha Reeves and
- 25:24Speaker 1: the Van Dels right.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Because despite the obvious haggling that is going on, the
- 25:34Speaker 1: Bengals need Stewart and the player is absolutely I'll clean
- 25:41Speaker 1: this up for radio. The players porked. Okay, they're porked.
- 25:46Speaker 1: The battle is over the minutia. It's over the fine print.
- 25:49Speaker 1: It's not over cash.
- 25:51Speaker 3: And so say that the Bengals are are cheap.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bengals are cheap in this case, though the
- 25:57Speaker 1: Bengals are not offering less money. People are just reading
- 26:01Speaker 1: the headlines. They're like, wow, this is Bengals must be
- 26:03Speaker 1: lowballing this guy.
- 26:05Speaker 3: They're not.
- 26:06Speaker 1: And the only reason the Bengals are not low balling
- 26:09Speaker 1: Stewart is because they can't. The CBA does not allow
- 26:12Speaker 1: that to happen. Everything's slotted. It depends where you're drafted.
- 26:17Speaker 1: You're going to get X amount of money based on
- 26:20Speaker 1: where you're drafted.
- 26:21Speaker 3: That's it.
- 26:22Speaker 1: But ultimately, ultimately Shamar Stewart doesn't have any leverage. The
- 26:28Speaker 1: only option is to sign with the Bengals.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Here's why.
- 26:32Speaker 1: If you look at the contract between the NFL and
- 26:34Speaker 1: the Players Association. It makes it almost impossible to not
- 26:41Speaker 1: play for the team that drafts you unless you just
- 26:43Speaker 1: don't want to play football and want to get a
- 26:46Speaker 1: normal job and just give up football. Like look at
- 26:50Speaker 1: the option he could sit out. Stewart could sit out
- 26:52Speaker 1: the season. However, that would just delay the big money.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Because he get the big money on the second contract, So.
- 27:02Speaker 1: You delay the time until you can get paid as
- 27:04Speaker 1: a rookie and get the clock started on free agency. Also, well,
- 27:08Speaker 1: what about a trade all right? So again based on
- 27:12Speaker 1: what I understand the contract there, if you want to
- 27:17Speaker 1: be traded, you would have to sign a contract with
- 27:20Speaker 1: the Bengals first. They can't trade you unless you sign
- 27:23Speaker 1: the contract in Cincinnati. So then that would force the
- 27:27Speaker 1: Bengals to absorb some of the salary in that scenario.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Or go.
- 27:34Speaker 1: They'll get this taken care of. It's a good June story.
- 27:38Speaker 1: It's a good June story. And that's about it all
- 27:41Speaker 1: right now, final point, we head to the ownership class
- 27:44Speaker 1: where Wooy Woody Johnson now Woody Johnson has he's one
- 27:51Speaker 1: of the heirs to the Johnson and Johnson band Aid empire.
- 27:55Speaker 3: So Woody Johnson is in deep Negoiation.
- 27:59Speaker 1: To spend about two hundred and seventy million dollars to
- 28:06Speaker 1: purchase a big chunk but not a majority, A big chunk,
- 28:10Speaker 1: but not a majority of an English shker team, Crystal
- 28:14Speaker 1: Palace FC.
- 28:16Speaker 3: So Whatody Johnson?
- 28:17Speaker 1: We know he has strong ties to England. He was
- 28:20Speaker 1: the ambassador in the UK under the first Trump administration.
- 28:25Speaker 1: So Jets owner Woody Johnson in talks to buy a
- 28:30Speaker 1: big piece of an English Premier League soccer franchise, Crystal Palace.
- 28:37Speaker 1: How should Jet fans feel about this? Because I'm I'm
- 28:41Speaker 1: seeing some of the feedback and they're like, Oh, this
- 28:42Speaker 1: is this is an embarrassment this guy, this is bad.
- 28:45Speaker 1: What are we doing here? You know, we want a
- 28:47Speaker 1: guy that he wants the Jets to be great? Why
- 28:50Speaker 1: is he Why is he going over there and screwing
- 28:52Speaker 1: up and going to England and all? No, I have
- 28:55Speaker 1: an unpopular opinion for people to believe that if I'm
- 28:58Speaker 1: a Jets fan and I have no no association with Jets,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but if I'm advising the Jets fan base, give Woody.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Johnson a police escort, make sure he.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Gets to the airport with plenty of time to go
- 29:13Speaker 1: through customs and all that stuff and board his flight.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Woody Johnson, as a hands on owner, has produced donkey
- 29:22Speaker 1: do he just has the Jets are Yeah, they're the
- 29:25Speaker 1: laughing stock of the NFL and all that stuff, and
- 29:27Speaker 1: we lampooned the Jets. Johnson was the only NFL owner
- 29:33Speaker 1: to receive an F grade on that Bugase Players Association Annual.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Report Guard thing.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Under Woody Johnson's ownership, the Jets ranked twenty six out
- 29:45Speaker 1: of thirty two teams. Twenty six out of thirty two teams,
- 29:49Speaker 1: and dividing your attention, that is actually a blessing in disguise.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Let him be half present. Just you hire people, let
- 30:00Speaker 1: them make the decisions. And if Woody Johnson's half distracted,
- 30:04Speaker 1: he's an absentee owner, that's fine. Now the other thing here,
- 30:09Speaker 1: and I don't have this kind of money that the
- 30:11Speaker 1: company makes sure I don't get the big money, but
- 30:13Speaker 1: the aristocrats, the new thing is to get an English
- 30:18Speaker 1: soccer team.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Next. That's like the next must have item.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Like it's cool to own an NFL team, but if
- 30:25Speaker 1: you can have an NFL team and own part of
- 30:28Speaker 1: a premier league team, oh man, you're the king of
- 30:32Speaker 1: the cocktail party.
- 30:33Speaker 3: You are.
- 30:34Speaker 1: The other NFL owners currently in their portfolio that have
- 30:39Speaker 1: Premier League soccer include Shod Cohn from Jacksonville.
- 30:45Speaker 3: He owns one of the teams there Bucks, the Glazer family.
- 30:50Speaker 1: They own Manchester United, part of it forty nine Ers,
- 30:54Speaker 1: the York Family, Leeds United, Commander's owner Josh Harris. They
- 30:58Speaker 1: are the majority owners of Crystal Palace, I believe. And
- 31:01Speaker 1: then Stan Kronke also owns a Premier League team. And
- 31:07Speaker 1: so that's it. That's the of the not unless big board.
- 31:11Speaker 1: That was a big board.
- 31:13Speaker 3: We'll have to go to our soccer expert Terry in
- 31:15Speaker 3: England for more on that. Later.

- 31:32Speaker 3: Cool.
- 31:33Speaker 6: Khalil Mack told reporters this week that his decision to
- 31:35Speaker 6: return to the Chargers on a one year deal was
- 31:38Speaker 6: less about finances and more about winning ball games.
- 31:41Speaker 3: That are you buying that?
- 31:43Speaker 1: Well, No, Khalil Mack has been around for many, many
- 31:47Speaker 1: years I've said some big honors, Pro.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Bowls and All Pros.
- 31:51Speaker 1: And I've been on some good defensive teams and all that.
- 31:54Speaker 3: But this is like the end of his run. So
- 31:58Speaker 3: he's made a lot of money.
- 31:59Speaker 1: I don't believe if he could have gotten more money,
- 32:01Speaker 1: he would have gone somewhere else.
- 32:02Speaker 3: He's played for the Raiders, the Bears, and the Chargers.
- 32:05Speaker 1: And if he could have gone to New England or
- 32:08Speaker 1: Baltimore got more money, he.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Would have gotten next.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Former nflg and Mike tannebam meeting prediction on Wednesday that
- 32:13Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers will be irrelevant by Thanksgiving and the Steelers
- 32:17Speaker 6: will finish third in the AFC North.
- 32:19Speaker 3: How do you feel about those predictions?
- 32:20Speaker 1: Well, it's a good hot take. Town Bomb's a talking
- 32:22Speaker 1: head on television. He will not be irrelevant for our
- 32:25Speaker 1: purposes because even if Aaron Rodgers is benched, it'll still
- 32:29Speaker 1: provide great talk radio because he'll he'll pout and complain,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and either way, for our purposes, he will not be
- 32:38Speaker 1: irrelevant even if he's benched, which is.
- 32:40Speaker 3: He's not gonna get benched next.
- 32:42Speaker 6: Brown's beat writer Mary kay Cavnt said on a podcast
- 32:44Speaker 6: this week that Jimmy has Them's comments that the owners
