• 0:47
  Speaker 1: well we will continue to talk here. I see keep trying.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Ryan leaving the building right now. We'd like to alert
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: all the affiliates to keep trying. Ryan, who famously got
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: locked out of the company social media account. He's now
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: leaving the building. So our lead this hour from the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Madness of March. The madness of March. If you had
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a repeat champion on your bracket, you're a loser. You're
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a loser. We had our first number one seed decommissioned, excommunicated,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: however you want to say it. From the tournament. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it was the nine seed versus the one seed. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Alvaro fulgaris fooling the Gators, says the Iowa Hawkey. Alvaro
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: fulgaris nailing a wide open three point shot with less
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: than five second. You see this, That's that's how I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: shoot the ball. Moneyball mallard. And he knocked that thing
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: down and number nine Iowa. Here come the Hawkeyes. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeys have eliminated the reigning national champions, the Florida
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Gators are out. The top seed in the Gators go
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: home by one point loss. And so there you go,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Iowa Hawkeys with some guy named Ben. We need
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: more people named Ben in sports. Ben McCollum the head coach.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: They reached the sweet sixteen for the first time since
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen in Florida. They do the walk of shame
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: as they do not even make it to the second
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: weekend of the NCAA tournament as they are out. That
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Better story is in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. We had all chalky mcchalk last year.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We will not have the same level of chalk this year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: In the final four when we get to that particular point.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But the question you have a team like Florida loaded stacked,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a couple of NBA players in there, all of that,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and so the question who gets the blame? Who gets
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the blame for Todd Golden's Florida Gators being the first
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: top seed knocked out of the two six edition of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: March Madness. So my thoughts on this, I've got Roto Ruder, Juice, Cleanse,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and Bond Villain, and we will combine all of these
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some Fetichini
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Alfredo is what we're going to make. So my first
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: thought on this is, you play the blame game. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I love playing the blame game. Man, is that just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: perfect for what we do here? To play the blame game.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's so good. And this game I was watching, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: happened to saw the little score bug thing at the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: top and it said, well, this game is close. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: game I was watching was not close. So I said,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'll flip over there, and I turned it on. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was watching the game, doing my thing there. And as
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: far as the blame, there's no need to tiptoe. If
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you look at the mirror, it's the man in the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: mirror and that would be Todd Golden, the coach of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the Florida Gators. Here. This is not a well coached
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: team down the stretch. Now, they didn't execute the players, ultimately,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the ones on the court. The coach though, did not
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: either get them ready or allowed them to not be prepared.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: As the top seed, they're playing pretty much a home game.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I know, it's one hundred miles plus or one hundred
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and thirty miles from Gainesville to Tampa. I get that,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but you're playing a number nine seed. And if I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, the Iowahaw guys are a middle of the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: road big ten team. Am I correct on that? Is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that a correct analysis that Iowa is a middle There
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you are? And oh, by the way, Florida, if you're
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: into the gambling market, which we kind of are into that,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Florida Gators were a ten and a half point favorite,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: so they were a double digit favorite. They did not
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: only not cover the spread, they lost the game outright.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They gagged, sucked at a time you cannot suck. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of coaching malpractice the way this
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: game ended here. And it wasn't bad luck, it was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just it was a hot mess for the Gators in
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this one, and they climbed out of it. I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they were down by I think it was like ten
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: or twelve or something like that, and they took the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lead late in the game. So the Gators had the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: lead over the Hotkeys late in the game, and they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: turned into a it's like a hurricane prep kit, you know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You buy those kits and they have everything you need
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: for the hurricane, except they didn't have the batteries. Well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what good is that you need the batteries. Well, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: didn't have any batteries. Why didn't they have batteries. Well
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's somebody didn't plan, right, I'm gonna blame the coach.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: They didn't have the batteries, and so all that stuff
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that needed batteries, they didn't have any, and they needed
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it in crunch time. And yeah, that didn't happen. That
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: did not happen. There, bad late game execution, bad coaching,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: failing to force Iowa to beat them one on one.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: They played the zone half court defense, and they did
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not clamp down on Iowa and it was wide open. Now,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you still got to make it. The kid made it
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for Iowa. Good job by him. I'll voral fool Garrison
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: another transfer. He's not been a long time. I think
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he played somewhere else last year. I forget where someone
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: want some school got a check and came and and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: then that was that. So it was just bad all
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the way around. The defense at the end was not good.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And then that last shot, Oh my god, holy Canoley,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: what that was that? So Florida four and a half seconds.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They went to the review to figure out how much
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: time said four and a half seconds, all right, So
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Florida had plenty of time to come down and get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a decent shot and they could be the hero, they
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: could be the stars of the show and all that stuff.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And so the defense was a mistake. And here's the pressure,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: right and the old line. Pressure can either burst the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: pipe or pressure can make a beautiful diamond. With the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Florida Gators in this particular game, they needed to call
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: rot O Router, that's the name. Because pipes burst and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: there was water everywhere. There was no excuses. They did
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not even get a shot. They did not It's like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: going to cheesecake factory and ordering a meal and just
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: sniffing it. You couldn't even get a shot. What is that?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You got to at least get a shot up, at
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: least have a chance. It just the dribbled the ball
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and turned it over. I don't even know count it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: as a turnover. And it goes the way of the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Iowah Hawkeyes there, so they get to win. Now, Todd
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Goldens Gators. Again, they were just incompetent at the end.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: This shouldn't have been in that situation anyway, but they were.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And most of these games in the tournament are unless
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're really terrible, are close or Kentucky who's got blown
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: out in their game. Meanwhile, how about the Jayhawks buzzer
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: beater here, the top player for the Kansas Jayhawks decided
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to play any defense. He was protecting
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: himself for the NBA lottery. Why would he go out
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there and try to stop someone? Please? So anyway, Bill self,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that could be it? That's all she wrote for Bill self?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Or is it? Bill self? The Kansas longtime Kansas coach
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: says he has not decided whether or not he will
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: continue as the coach in Lawrence, Kansas, or if it's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it and that's all the season ending, Saint John's winning
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: on their own buzzer beating layup Dylan Darling. Now that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a good name, that's a solid name. Dylan Darling with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the layup thanks to the Oley defense by the Kansas Jayhawks,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: their top player who will be drafted by Utah, Sacramento,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the Wizards, some god awful NBA franchise, and that'll be that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So Darling had the layup. Rick Pattino moves on to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the next round. And as for the topic at hand,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Bill Selfier and his commentary. The sixty
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: three year old Bill soelf who won two national championships
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and has built a consistently good team with the Jayhawks,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: although this was obviously not not one of the greats.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: They lose on the buzzer beater there. Late, he's also
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: had a lot of minor health stuff, some of it
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: has turned into major hell stuff Bill self the last
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: couple of years just from AFAR, and he's missed several
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: games with medical issues and other health concerns. And so
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: sixty three, he say, well, he can coach several more years.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You don't have to step away at sixty three. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's the difference is he said some issue. So the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: question Kansas coach Bill self says he has not decided.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He's an undecided voter, undecided voter whether or not he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: will continue his Hall of Fame coaching career. What is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: your read on this one? What is your read on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this one? So on this one, we all know what
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this is. We are aware of what this is. Even
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in the back of the room off to the far side,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I think we know what this is here. So this
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is a very long goodbye. I like the Irish goodbye
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: just just feels like a long goodbye without actually saying goodbye.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He didn't say bye bye. He didn't say that Bill self.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Bill Self is saying, I haven't decided. I'm undecided. Uh,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that is coach speak. I use the mallor Rosetta stone.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It is coach speak for I've already packed the suitcase.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I just haven't called the uber to come pick me
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: up and take me where I need to go to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a soft launch towards leaving Kansas and doing television or
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: just retiring. And it's like when you when you say
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it's one of these things that like when you say, hey,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about doing that juice cleanse Okay, sure you've
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: already bought the blender and you've bought a bunch of fruit.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You're you're already down that road. You're gonna do the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: juice cleans. And so Bill self he's at that point
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: where it's like, I'm thinking about it because you if
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you're gonna stay, you don't even pretend like you're not
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: gonna stay, because that'll be used against you. That'll be
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: weaponized in the NIL game. Of course, now it's all
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: about how much money these guys get in NIL, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it would be using against you. Well, you can't go
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: play for Kansas. Bill self's gonna he's gonna that away
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and retire. But he didn't say that. Well, he kind
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of hinted at it. So he's had hard issues. He
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: had a I think it was a couple of years ago.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He had some some stints put in that doesn't seem
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: like that's good. I don't know, And there you go
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and just the NIL. So all these old guard coaches
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: having to deal with the NIL world. It's it's kind
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of like when the automobile came along and you're like,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I want my horse and buggy. I like my horse
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and buggy. We know we got these cars. Well, no,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the car. I don't like the car, I like my
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I like my horse and buggy, that kind of thing.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So in the NIL is so ridiculous. It's out, I'm
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: all four players getting some money. This is what they've
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: done here is oh my god. The NIL thing, it's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: cryptocurrency run by teenagers. Is essentially what's going on here
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in college basketball. And it's not what Bill self had
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: done all these years to build up the legend of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Bill Self. It's an open air flea market. Every six months,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You're like, all right, I'm a free agent and he's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: made so much money, a crazy few money Bill self.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I tried to look it up exactly, and I think
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I'm close. He's He's not eating Ramen noodles with Marcel
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and Brooklyn, He's not. He's got oligart cash, eighty million
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: plus in career earnings just at Kansas, just to Kansas.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So you think he wants to continue this. He's got
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: some health issues there. Every six months you got to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: re recruit your roster and say no, no, we love you,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: we love you. And so I don't think it's indecision
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: at all, based on reading between the words of Bill
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Self and listening between what he had to say and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's just the sport that he mastered,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that he was a maestro at, is no longer the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: sport that it is. It's not like I'm I'm pretty
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: sure that most of these successful programs, if not one
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hundred percent, were cutting envelopes with cash to the top players.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Now everyone's getting paid them, so good time to exit now. Meanwhile,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the big picture, So one of the other storylines over
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the week, and I was paying attention days away from
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the watchtow, I was doing the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: which is available by the way, and so a number
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of people were freaking out because of the lack of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: wins between seeds ten and sixteen in the men's basketball tournament.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: In fact, in the first round. I know, we're into
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the sweet sixteen now, but in the first round of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: games Thursday and Friday, there were three teams out of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: three of the twenty eight possible games, three of them
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: ended with the team that was the lower seed advancing
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: three first round wins out of twenty eight games. That's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: not great. The average loss margin was thirteen points per
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: game for the higher seed meeting like the ten through
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: sixteen seed. Okay, fine, Now, historically, let's go back on
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the hot top time machine nineteen eighty five, he had
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan hanging out there all the way to twenty twenty.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And in that period of time, it's a long time.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So a couple of generations, seeds average the average seed
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: roughly six to eight first round victories annually. So three now,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: so that's less than half of the eight, and it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: half of the six. And the margin of defeat was
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: six to seven points, now it's thirteen points, and so
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: people freaking out. So the question is it true? Is
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it true that Nil really did kill Cinderella in March madness?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So I give this side eye and here's let me
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: tell you why I give this side. Every March we
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: do this same dance last year. Oh my god, all
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the number one seed. It's so bad, old booooo freaking
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: out right. We gather around the campfire and we roast
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: marshmallows and we complain, I miss Cindarrella. I want to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: have the big ups. Everyone is blaming Nil like it's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the Bond villain stroking a cat. Okay, I would say,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you're not. And I don't love Nil the way it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it's played out. I'd like again, I think the player
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: should get paid and have to pay taxes like the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: rest of us, but unless than in Mississippi because there's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: nothing else going on. And so that's it. But the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: issue here with the nil stuff, I only use so
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: much mad at nil. The illusion is gone. I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people love the illusion. That bull crap
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: about student athlete. My dad long gone now. But my
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: dad went to school at UCLA, and he went to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: school when lu Al Cinder was playing for the UCLA Bruins.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: My dad never saw him in class, even though he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: had a class with Luel Cinder, because he never showed
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: up the class. Why would you?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But it's always kind of been like that. But you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like the marketing campaign student athlete. You were into it,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you really enjoyed it. That illusion is gone now. It's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: no longer the perception of the small school, which is
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like the neighborhood bake sale or the lemonade stand. And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: then on the other side you've got this conglomerate, this
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Wall Street group. Now it's more like Nasdaq versus the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: New York Stock Exchange. It's pretty much the same. There's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: just a few minor differences, and that's it. And the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: amount of money is unreal. How much money has been
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: paid here the endorsement deals. It is estimated that players
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you know how much they got paid in college basketball.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: As you want to take a guess, you gotta get
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a number in your head. The just college basketball nil
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: has paid endorsement deals totally nine hundred and thirty two
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: million in checks the players and all that in twenty
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six. Yeah, and everyone's out everyone's outrage
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: because this whole Disney movie thing has been replaced by
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a spreadstreet. Oh no, this is not right now. If
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: my math is correct, I looked at my bracket, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: think we have one double digit seed, the Texas Longhorns,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the number eleven seed into the sweet sixteen. I believe
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that's it. And they're not even like you think of
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a number eleven. You think of some directional school somewhere, right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't think of Texas and Austin. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: know it's not a basketball school, but you don't think
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: of the Longhorns of Texas as a Cinderella type team.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And the slipper doesn't fit. If the slipper doesn't flit,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: it doesn't fit. You must have quit. So anyway. There's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: my theory is that upsets are supposed to be rare.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They are going to be more rare for the foreseeable future.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: But that's not a bad thing, right If everyone is
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Cinderella and you had all these upsets, it actually hurts
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the product because less people watch when their brackets destroyed. Now,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: it should be easier. Just pick all chalk and you'll
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: do pretty good. You're not going to do that bad
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: if you just take all chalk and you have a couple,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you need a couple of glass, slipper of molments. Just
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: kind of scratch that itch, a couple of moments to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: scratch that itch and kind of wet the appetite. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: not a gaggle of them, not of them, And that's fine.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Could there have been more? Sure, there could have been more.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: We're okay.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app Hi.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: This is Jay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I'm the producer of the Paula and Toni Fusco Show.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the show. I'm here to ask you, please don't listen
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: the show so it can get Camps.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The get him fool. Listen to the Tony Fusco Show
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He's still moving. All right, We are back at it
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: this hour and our lead story, our lead story this
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: hour coming to you from the world of the NFL,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: well indirectly, the NFL really a flag football game. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: we go to Bradyvillea which was in La La Land,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: saw any of the inaugural Fanatics Flag Football Classic that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: took place over the weekend. Tom Brady after that event,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: we were told, had a pow wow with the media.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Brady was asked mostly about flag football. We'll talk more
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: about that later, but he was also asked about his
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: college buddy, John Spytek, who he put in there as
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a sock puppet to follow his instructions, handpicked as the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Raiders general manager. And he was also asked if he
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: had any reaction to the saw wing Bauta saw Wing
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: about a swinging a miss to Max Crosby being traded
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and then not being traded. So what did Brady do
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: when he was Pepper? I saw this or not? Maybe not?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So tom Brady skipped over a hop, skip and a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: jump over the mac crosby trade question and the fact
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that he's now back with the Raiders after being traded
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to the Ravens. So that is a good jumping off
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: point the non answer from Tom Brady. So let us
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: discuss the question why why did Tom Brady avoid answering
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a rather basic question about Max Crosby. So I've got
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the mighty Mississippi River grenade and overweight middle aged guys,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we are going to play ABC and one two three.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: But we always when you play ABC one two three,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you always got to start out with number one number,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: number one number. So Tom Brady what he did is
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he went down to Panera break. He went down to Panera,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and he decided, I do not want the broccoli cheddar.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I do not want that. I would like the alphabet soup.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And that's what he got, and just labeling out vowels
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and consonants and nothing of substance, nothing of substance, there
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: from Tom Brady at all. And he had aside side dish,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: side salad, no dressing, no dressing, and no protein. Classic
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Tom Bray, Classic Tom Brady. So now essentially what Brady
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: did here is he read the defense, He looked out
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and he called audible audible Omaha, omaha, call an audible line.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna defend Brady on this one. The problem
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: with this was the dingle Berry reporter and I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: know who asked the question. It was a two part question.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Bad job by them. You don't ask a two park question.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? You don't ask a two part question.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't. Shame on you, Right, you gave Tom Brady
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: by asking a two part question. You gave Tom Brady
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: an escape patch the size of the mighty Mississippi River.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And he just jumped in there and said, oh okay,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'm good, and I ask ask a clean, crisp, sharp
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: question and make it as quick as possible so the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: person you're asking the question in this case, Tom Brady
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: does not have time to cook up an answer. Instead,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Brady's like, oh, this is great, all right. You asked
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: me two questions. It's not a two for one special.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do some stand up comedy and I'm
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: gonna do a impersonation of Fluffy the comedian. That's what
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. And the Star Trek, in honor of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: spats with Shats, the Star Trek deflector shields have been activated,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and Brady just ignored it. Question denied, Question denied by
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady now and Brady knows he knows not to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: answer that question because this is a bad look for Brady,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing for the Raiders. Max Crosby and his return
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Is the Komodo dragon in the room
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's a dangerous topic of conversation.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It's unpredictable. What's gonna happen with Crosby going forward. Nobody
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: really wants to deal with it. They're all trying to say, oh,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: everything's great, this worked out for the best, which means
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: as good as all the rest. But it is dysfunction junction.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: What's your function is what it is? As classic Raders,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So Brady philibustered because the reporter gave him a chance
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to philibuster and he took advantage of it. All right, Now,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: turn the page from football. We go to Old Guy Radio,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the Old Guy Radio debate. I saw these comments, I thought,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: now this is worthy of a couple of minutes of airtime.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill, the Shack Daddy, Shaquille O'Neal, let the world
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: know who is the top dog in NBA history. Is
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it A Lebron James, b Kobe Bryant, his former teammate,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: or C Michael Jordan who is the top I think
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Shack played with Lebron also in Cleveland. I think I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: believe they were there together for like a minute. Not
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that Shaq was any good at that point, but I'm
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: pretty sure they played together anyway. So that was the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: multiple choice question. Well, the reason I'm bringing this up
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: is Shaquille O'Neill did not did not say, hey, Kobe Bryant.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't say Lebron James. He said, you picked Michael Jordan.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Ding ding, ding ding ding. You got that one right, Yeah,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neal, let me know he thinks Michael Jordan is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the greatest player to ever grace the NBA court over
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Kobe and Lebron James. So the question Shaquille O'Neill picking
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: air Jordan over Kobe and Lebron. Is this blasphemy or
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: is it accuracy? That is the question. Is it blasphemy
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: or is it accuracy? So Shaq here said I'm in
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the army, and he took a grenade. It was a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: truth grenade, and he loved that thing. He loved the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: truth grenade in the air everywhere, and that's what he did.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Shocking it. Actually it actually detonated where it was supposed
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to go. Good job by him. No, buddy, buddy, nostalgia,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you know the code and the purple and gold royalty
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and the loyalty oath and all that. No, no, no, Shack.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Shack's like I started with Orlando, I played with every
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I think I finished with the Phoenix Suns or the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Celtics or somebody like that. I played with everybody. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Jordan is the right answer. And so Shack got it right.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: He picked Michael Jordan. That's correct. End of sermon. That's all.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Although we have to keep going. So Jordan did not
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: just move the needle a little bit. He snapped it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He melted that needle down and sold it back at
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: a marked up price with a Swoosh logo on it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: He took the runway and oh man, the runway that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: was built by Magic and Bird. Remember that that was
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the modern NBA was Bird and Magic
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: in the late sies, in the early eighties. And then
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: they took the league and got it to a certain place.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And then Jordan launched the league into orbit and global icon,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the killer instinct. He was six for six in the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: NBA finals. No game seven's in the finals, no footnotes,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: none of that stuff, no fine print for Michael Jordan.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: That's it and brilliant, the gold standard. And and then
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: like Kobe, Kobe knew it if you of course that
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: around him where we were asked Kobe, he was Jordan.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Jordan was was better. He studied Jordan like he was
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: studying as a bruder film where Kyler Murray would be
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: studying video games. Similar thing. And then you got Lebron
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Lebron who like is the spreadsheet goat longevity King, Lebron
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: James didn't get suspended and have to go to Birmingham
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to play minor league baseball in the middle of his career.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: The compiler in chief, Lebron James games, Who's built like
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a mack truck, built like a tank, and he's been
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: marketed like a conglomerate. It just didn't hit the same
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: though as Michael Jordan, who was the king of marketing.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Yet Lebron marketing doesn't quite hit the same. Jordan dominated,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: absolutely dominated, and Lebron has not been able. Even though
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: he's won a bunch of championships, been to the finals
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a bunch, there's a lot of losses there. You know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: signature moment Lebron one year he was injured because of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the air conditioning not working properly in San Antonio. That's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite Lebron moments. But anyway, listen, it
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: has not stayed in the same stratosphere as if you
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: say the baton was passed from Jordan and then Kobe
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: took it, and then Kobe passed it to Lebron. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: even though they were playing side by side for a while, fine,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: but Jordan was way ahead of everyone else and Lebron
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is not not the same. Now, speaking of that, the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: final point here, I wanted to bring this up. Several
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of you sent this to me over the weekend. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: say several, Oh that's enough for me. So two people
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: send me this story. A recent spurs Hornets Game, which
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: was on Amazon Prime. The TV ratings they averaged four
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand viewers on Amazon Prime. They
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: lost to the bass Master Classic Fishing Tournament on Fox.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: There were more people that were looking for sports content
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that decided to watch the bass Master rather than an
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: NBA game. And where this has created quite the hulla
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: balloo was Oh my god, I questioned, so again recent
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Spurs Hornets game was beaten in the TV ratings by
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the bass Master Classic on Fox. Where does this take
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: your mind? So it's just outstanding on every the NBA.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: The NBA got outfished, literally outfished. You can't make it up.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And this was a game where Wemby played. It wasn't
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a load management game. Wemby played the alien, the extraterrestrial,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the face of the future of the NBA, the seven
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: foot something something cheat code. He lost a TV battle
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: victor wemban Yama to a guy on a dinghy and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: another guy on a dinghy and the bunch of overweight,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: middle aged guys. Fishing is seen as more entertaining than
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Wemby in an NBA game. What wholl that is? A
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: body bag? Body bag situation? Forget it, my gout that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that's not just alarming. We're talking about the bass Master classes,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: which I know is a big deal. I get it.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on. It's a Sunday morning coffee and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: pajama type situation, is what it is. And those a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: lot of fishing and bowling things. I just assume they're
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: all taped like live. This was live, and man, that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is not a blippity blip. That is a flare gun
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: for the NBA. And this did not happen overnight. You
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: have not lost the bass Master. This did not happen overnight.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: This is years and years of handcrafted malfeasans by half man,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: half alien, Adam Silver. It became the NBA a load
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: management lounge, just what it became. And the defenders of
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the NBA said, well, they got their TV money, they
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: got their Okay, you think the people at Amazon are
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: happy they paid all that money to lose out to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a guy fishing. At some point this comes back and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: kicks you in the nuts. At some point this comes
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: back in kicks you in the nuts. And this is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: all under the guys of Adam Silver again, the load
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: management stuff and all that the stars treating games like
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: optional workouts, and as a result, you do that long enough,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, many many fans treat the regular season
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: like a soggy French fry at the bottom of the bag.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Not a priority, you know. Sometimes you get those extra fries,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, this is great, and then no,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: not a priority if it's all soggy, like I don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: need that. I don't. I'm not interested in that. And
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: tanking is in the air everywhere. It's as it's just
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: so out of I don't know how to describe how
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: ridiculous this tanking thing is. It's like it's like going
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: to the open air drug market on skid row and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: everyone's on fentanyl. Well everyone's like, I forget that. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: don't need fentanyl. I need tanking is what I need.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: And half the league is unshamelessly just trying to lose,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: and no one seems to have a problem with it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: They're just okay with it. It's just part it's good business.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: They've convinced some of the customers, the morons, the dumb
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: people amongst us, this is the way to do it right.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You cannot sell bluefin tuna and say that we're serving
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: bluefin tuna and then well, no, you're actually serving the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: vandy camp frozen fish sticks. Well no, you said bluefend.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Well no this is not we said that, but it's close.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: It's the frozen fish sticks. Well no, I don't care
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: how much tartar sauce you have. That's not the same.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: And Adam Silver, who is either coaching this or allowing
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: it to happen, as we like to say, but either
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: way it's under his watch. He's not done anything to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: stop it. Some token nace. But magic Bird and Jordan
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: built this magical cathedral, this beautiful cathedral of basketball, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: now it's become this cheesy rundown graffiti filled strip mall
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: with flickering lights. And you paid more. These days, these
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: guys get paid more and they do less and they're
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: okay with it, and they embrace it, and people around
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: them they lead them down this path, the garden path,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and that this is what needs to be done, because
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you'll protect yourself. And it's all the voodoo bugaloo is
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: what it is here. And as for Wemby, that's not
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a good sign. For Victor web Banyama, that's your showcase.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And instead America tuned in on this random night said,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'd rather watch a guy wrestle a large mouth is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: what I wanted. That largemouth bath bass. I want to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: see them wrestle that. And there you go to the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: NBA in general, it's like a monee. Today's NBA is
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: like a monet. It looks pretty good from a distance,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and then you get a little closer and you're like,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that's not so good. That's not so good.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big vent gets grilled.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, the flag is up and we are off to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the races, running a country mile Koopa loop with the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: third degree.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Then, last season, the Ravens finished a disappointing eight and nine.
• 34:02
