• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this out. We're changing up a little
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bit a story that has gotten a fair amount of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: traction or the last ten days or so, and it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: has now taken a dramatic plot twist, the rare and appropriate,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: rare and appropriate college football start, which is now an
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: NFL story. It involves gambling. It's got a little bit
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: everything yet. So we're going to start out in Big
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: twelve country in Lubbock, Texas, and that is where we
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: will begin, as we have an up on the gambling
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: man of college football no more Brendan soorsby the quarterback
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: who's bounced around like a pinball from one side of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the machine to another. The highly regarded by some, highly
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: regarded by some, quarterback Brendan Sowersby, who's six y three
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to two hundred and thirty five pounds. He's a dual
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: threat quarterback. He was at Cincinnati. He's trying to play
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: football at Texas Tech. Previously at Indiana, so with Indiana
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati now he was transferring to Texas Tech in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: portal to get some of that sweet nil money. Chi ching,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Chi ching, chi ching. Gotta get that nil money, nice
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: financial package to go to Lubbock, Texas. However, he did admit,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: as you may or may not know, he did admit
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, I don't know how you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: could have missed it. He admitted that he he enjoyed gambling,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of gambling, which not a problem if you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you're not betting on your own team and against your team,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and though anyway, but at least ninety grand, at least
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ninety grand nine thousand plus bets, including on his own
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: teams games, which is a violation of every single by
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: law that they have if you believe in rules the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: NCAAA roadbook, it violates just about just about everything. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so he got caught and then entered into a gambler's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: rehab program for his gambling addiction. And was ruled permanently
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: ineligible of the NCAA. So that's it IX nay on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the football A. You're done. However, a Lubbock County judge
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: recently granted the player a temporary injunction which was going
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to allow him to play football in the upcoming college
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: football season with a self suggested two games suspension nine
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thousand bets on sports and whatever. So two game suspension,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of course, that sparked outrage. Alley oh Man, the band
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was going nuts here, major backlash, and and now the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: lawyers got involved, the Big twelve pushing back, Push it back, now,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: push it back, and they push back with their lawyers. So,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: if you've not heard the latest on this, we have
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a major plot twist. And perhaps you have not been
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: paying attention here, but we learned now the gambling quarterback
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soresby is gonzo. He's gone see you later. He's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: leaving Texas Tech before playing a single game for the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Red Raiders and is going to attempt to take his
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: talents to the NFL's supplemental Draft. He's trying to go
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to the supplemental Draft. Now, Soresby made his decision hours
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: hours after the Big twelve legal brigade came in, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: then the lawyers came in from the Big twelve and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: they filed the paperwork to enforce sanctions against Texas Tech.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: If they dared play this guy, it's like you're in trouble.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You can't play this guy. That's it. And so this
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is now getting cranked up to a higher rung of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the legal system, and that means Soresby has decided I'm out.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He had until June twenty second, as it's our sixteenth
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: June sixteenth, the fifteenth in the West, but June twenty
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: second is the deadline to declare for the supplemental Draft,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: which will end his college eligibility. And that's it, all right,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, right, here's the question. Why Why is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soresby throwing in the sponge on playing at Texas
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Tech and the nil deal and all that and heading
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: off off to the NFL's supplemental Draft which is not
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a guarantee by any means. It's not a guarantee. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I have reading Rainbow Dairy Queen
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and Sotheby's and we will combine all of these things together,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and we were gonna make some chimney. Chungas is what
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make, all right. So a Brendan Soresby deciding
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to throw it in the towel, the sponge, whatever metaphor
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you want to use here on Texas Tech and heading
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: off to the supplemental draft. The reason why is because
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he looked. He looked at the scorecard. He had a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: peek at the scorecard here, and the judge's scorecards. He
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: saw them early. And it's kind of like a boxer
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that said, well, I, you give no chance to win.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The only chance you have is a knockout, and that's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen. So Soresby he didn't just leave.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: He read the room. It appears he has read the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: room here and realized that if you look around the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: room from the left and you go over to the right,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and you look all over the room there and you realize, well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, here, there's a no vacancy sign, there's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: no room. There's no room for me here, and ninety
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars roughly in gambling that this guy pulled off
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and he dragged that scandal into Lubbock, and without even
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: playing a game. The people that run that university, you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: talk about loyalty, blind loyalty to a guy who had
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: even done anything for your university on the football field.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And the big shots there, the big movers and shakers
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in Lubbock, they were all behind this guy. And then
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I would assume he met with his legal team or
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the lawyers for Texas Tech, and they said, son, the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Big twelve is about to body slam you and give
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you the atomic elbow in federal court. So pack your
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bag and run off to the NFL and cut your
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: losses and so face with a massive suspension. He followed
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the reading rainbow, and followed the reading rainbow straight out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of town, hoping to find a pot of gold in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Good luck, And there you go. It's all
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the book. It's all in There'll be a book,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: there'll be a Netflix docu series on this. It's all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it's all going to happen. So Soresby Brandon Sosby, the quarterback,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: now choosing the fire escape the front door. He would
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: have liked to have gone out the front door. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: front door, though, has not one, not two, but three
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: locks on it. A dead bolt, and a big twelve
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: lawyer is standing right behind it with crossed arms and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a surly look, ready to forfeit Texas Tech season. So
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's a problem. Now, he bailed the faster than a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: waiter who who knows you never gone to a restaurant,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and not, of course I would have been part of this,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but you know, to a restaurant, sometimes the waiter kind
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of knows that this group's not gonna tip, and suddenly
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the service starts getting worse and worse because you realize
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that these people are gonna tip and they're a holes
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And so that's kind of where we
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: are now turning the page, but not far all right,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: page two here, the other part of this story is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the draft. We've already had beat NFL draft. It was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in late April. But now the question is, how does
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soorsby, the former Indiana Cincinnati and do I even
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: say Texas Tech quarterback he didn't play for Texas Tech,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the former college quarterback Brendan Sorosby, how does he stack
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: up for NFL scouts? And so you look at this,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: this is the Q word, capital Q quagmire. This is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: an absolute quagmire on paper or on a tablet. If
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you look at the Dairy Queen menu and you say, well, okay,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what's on the menu? That's he's a bowl of Rocky
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Road Brendan Soresby looks great. However, every spoonful comes with
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: something you didn't expect. Is that a marshmallow? Is that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: some kind of walnut? I don't know what that is.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. So he's got that sturdy frame
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that the NFL scouts druel about and they get all
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: horny for and their quarterbacks out of central casting. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he can't absorb contact, so that's a positive. And he's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: got mobility. And so the size and mobility of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: arm talent, it's not the most accurate quarterback in the world.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And yet I would argue the NFL looking at the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: supplemental draft, the NFL does not see a quarterback. They
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: see a scarlet letter G stitched on the jersey. That
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is a warning label. Avoid the scarlet letter right there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So the raw talent would say, this guy's a high
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: draft pick and should be taken in the supplemental draft,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: relatively high. And that's it. And the gambling problem leads
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you to believe, don't even think about it right. So
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it's like it's on one side, the talent trumps everything.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: On the other side, there's a lot of stank. There's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of stank around this guy because the gambling stuff,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and that's taboo. You can't go down that road because
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: if you're playing quarterback, you get drafted by the Jets
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: or someone like that, and you start all of a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: sudden sucking at a time you can't suck. Instead of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just saying you're playing bad football, people are saying, wait
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a minute, is this a mob special? Is this guy
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: throwing the game because he's trying to pay off some
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: gambling debts that he has And that's gonna shadow Brendan
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: sorosby the rest of his athletic career. And the NFL
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has to prove. Of course, this other thing that we
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: have to deal with. The NFL has to first approved
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Brendan Soarzby has to prove for the NFL, and the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: NFL has to approve his case for the supplemental draft.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And the last quarterback taken in the supplemental draft. You
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: got to go back to twenty eleven. I was barely
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: alive in twenty eleven, there was a guy named Terrelle
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Pryor who was taken in the twenty eleven Supplemental Draft
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in the third round. So it's been fifteen years, my
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: computer like brain tells me, since we've had a quarterback
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: drafted in that situation. And so you know, ultimately NFL teams,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: each NFL team is going to have to look at
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: this and say, well what is this? And it's like, well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's art. It's like a mid round piece of art.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Mid round piece of art. It's interesting, but where do
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we put it? I don't know where to put it,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and they just don't. They just don't love I guess
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the way I would say it is explaining to the commissioner.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Having to explain to the commissioner why they drafted a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: guy who's on the knotty list. That's the issue, right,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I said, Well, you can, we can stash them, have
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: them developed for a couple of years and forget about it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We take them the sixth round or whatever, or the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: or the fifth round, and then that's it. So it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a complicated investment, is what I'm trying to say. It's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a complicated investment, and we expect the litigation machine to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: crank up if Soresby is not drafted and there is
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: no guarantee that he has picked in the supplemental draft.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: This has Canadian Football League written all over it. In
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: one of those other fugazy leagues that no one watches
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that are like, who's that team? I don't know who
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they are? What is that? Why is that on TV?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I don't get it? All right? Now, last word, we
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: go to baseball. That's right, talking baseball, San Francisco, Major
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, twib notes around the majors, all right, So
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: playing miserable baseball. Boy, You hate to see it, don't you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The once proud San Francisco Giants are closer to the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: worst record in all of professional baseball than they are
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: sniffing a playoff spot in the National League. And we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: are now told the Giants are preparing to go to auction.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They are preparing to sell off just about anyone on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the roster can be yours, and the price does not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have to be right now, Buster Posey, who was a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: good catcher, not a very good execusutive, It would appear
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: based on the early returns. Buster Posey, the president of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Baseball ops because the term general manager was below these guys,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: so they had to come up with baseball ops and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: all that. So anyway, listen, here's the deal buster posey
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: is multiple reports saying testing the waters on a massive,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: massive door buster sale at the August third trade deadline,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: which will be here before you know it. Now. The
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: only player, the only one who cannot be yours, allegedly
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is logan Web, the starting pitcher. Logan Web. Oh what
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a web we weave. And so the Giants supposedly have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: zero plans to part with their ace right handed starter,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: logan Web. So question, let's focus in on that at first.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So the question on this is are you gonna go
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs up or thumbs down
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: on the giant starter Logan Web being untouchable untouchable on
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the trading block for the Giants. So I am going
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to go thumbs down on this. I'm going one thumbs
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: down on this. The idea that logan Web is somehow
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: untouchable is comedic. Clinging on to Webb, who is a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: good starting pitcher, is like hoarding a single can of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: chicken noodle soup during a famine, Like, what are you doing?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Congratulations you got the thing of chicken noodle soup. You're
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: still going to starve. So I just wait an extra
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: day and then its lights out, game over, and we
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: understand he's he's the hometown guy, as a Northern California
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: guy and all that. By the time, though I've done
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the math on this, by the time the Giants are good,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: like legit good again, Brandon Webb will be throwing slop
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: at eighty eight miles per hour. Talking about veteran leadership
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: is what we'll be talking about. And I'll have one
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: good start every ten starts. That's what happens. And this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: team is so far from content. How far are they?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: They're so far thanks for asking, They're so far from
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: contending that his next meaningful start, Brandon Webb will be
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in an old timers game or possibly the Cactus leeg
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: because those do matter. You have a chance to win
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the Cactus League every year. It's like the last working
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: appliance in a house that's already been condemned. What are
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you doing here? He's twenty nine, he's durable, all that stuff,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: good starting pitcher. As we said, he is under contract
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: for a few more years, which makes him highly attractive
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to teams like the Yankees and other contenders who are
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: trying to add more pitching, and the idea that anyone
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: would be unavailable is just ridiculous, especially when you think
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: about the recent history of sports. The Cleveland Browns just
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: added Hall of Fame in his prime defensive stud Miles Gear.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: They traded him Cleveland Browns to the Ala Rams. The
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks gave away Luka Doncic to the Lakers. And
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that Logan Webb is somehow unavailable,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and I get your hands on Logan web or the Giants.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Come on, please stop pretending anyone on that rotten roster
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: with the Giants is untouchable. And besides, Buster Posey's currently
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: running and everything must go add online. It's a Southby's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: style auction, so it's a silent auction at this point.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers, yes that Rafael Devers, Willie Adamis, Matt Chapman,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Luisa Rise, Robbie Ray. They can all be yours if
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the price is right. And if you're auctioning off underperforming
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: contracts and bad attitudes, and that's mostly Rafael Devers, right,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: why would you keep web around again? I keep going
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: back to this, like, what are you trying to recreate
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: what you had back in the day a candlestick with
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the crazy Crab mascot. You can have buster Buster Posey
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: say hey Brandon when you're not pitching, or you just
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: go out there and and logan rather logan Web, go
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: out there and we're the crazy Crab outfit. Just do that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Now the Dever's part of it. I love that Rafael
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Dever's name is yet again in trade deadlines that he
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is up for auction. I find that hilarious and I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: hope and I know in the multiverses as possible that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox reacquire Rafael Devers. That would be wonderful.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: That would be so great shot in freude. If Boston
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: were to reacquire Rafael Devers, it would be the funniest
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: cell phone for the Red Sox since they donated Mookie
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: bets to the Dodgers to jumpstart the Dodgers dynasty, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that was a gift by the Boston Red Sox. They
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: got nothing, literally nothing in retire He just gave Mookie
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: bets to that. Now Mookey sucks now except light hitting
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a middle infielder. But he was good for several years
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers and they won multiple World Series and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: all that, and that was a gift by the Red Sox,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And it was kind of like, if they reacquired Devors,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it would be like turning a broken blender just to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: buy the exact same model out of spite. That's what
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that would be. And the funny is the Redsize actually
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: got something of value in return. The problem is that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: value is now pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers what they
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: got for Rafio Devsit. Be sure to catch.

• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I leave this hour from New York, New York, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: we'll pro bouncy. But why are you talking about it? Well,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the reason is because it's hot take validation. If you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: do this kind of job, you love hot take validation.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So little hot take validation. Someone has some explaining to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. I don't know if you heard this. The
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Knicks won the championship. Well, really, the Spurs gave it away.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Most series are loss not one in San Antonio decided
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to help out the Knicks, and they certainly did so.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You might know where I'm going with this possibility. You don't.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: We had mentioned if the Knicks were to win the championship,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: this would debunk the long standing theory that the Knicks
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: could not win because they have a stumblebumb as an
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: owner in Dolin, the Nepo baby who inherited the team
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from his dad and that whole thing. So I was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: reading that supposedly members of the Knicks front office are
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: partially crediting owner James Dolan getting quote distracted by the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: sphere in Vegas and that is what led to the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Knicks championship. Let me repeat that for those of you
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a little slow in the back of the room. So
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: this theory is that there's a faction. It's the media
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: fringe that is claiming that there are members of the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: front office who believe that because of that round thing
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, which is owned by Jim Dolan, that that
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is why he was distracted with that trying to line
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: up those old music acts to perform there and the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz and all that stuff, and so he
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: was not laser locked in on the Knickerbockers in recent years.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, what do you make of the media
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: claiming that because of the sphere in Vegas that is
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: responsible that round thingamajig is responsible for the Knicks breaking
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the curse of James Dolan. So my observations on this,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I have the wash, hysteria, saber, and mysterious, and we
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We're not gonna
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: play Connect four. We're gonna play Connect three, which is
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: better than Connect four because you only have to get
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of people call that tic tac toe. We
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: call it Connect three because that's how we roll in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: these parts. Now. We always are with number one, number one,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: number one number Oh what fun it is number one,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: number one. So the the Knicks finally win the title,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: finally win the title, and suddenly the Vegas snow globe
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: is what ganned off from Lord of the Rings that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: they're gonna credit the snow globe there in Vegas. It's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: lest I checked. It's a building with Wi Fi and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: security and a lot of Neon light things. That's that's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: what that is now regardless, look at the media cook,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: look at the media cook here. They claimed for years
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the Knicks couldn't win because of James Dolan. Now they're
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: claiming that the sphear in Vegas is responsible for breaking
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the curse of James Dolan. Who goofed I've got to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: know so this fear did it, not the players, not
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the coaching, not the generosity of wemby missing game winning
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: shots and choking in every game. That it's the round
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: thing in Vegas that the sphere apparently helped break the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: curse by doing what absolutely nothing. That is what's known
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: as capitol p poppycock is what that is. And the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Knicks one because they played better and the Spurs helped
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: them out at every possibility late in games, being the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: dumbest team in America. And I think of this debate,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I would even say it's a debate. This take that
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the sphere in Vegas helped the Knicks because Dolan was
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: focused on that, he wasn't focused on the basketball. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: put this into the same category as momentum. Now, as
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you know, there is no such thing in sports as momentum,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: just another explanation for the outcome of a game, which
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is manufactured entirely after the fact, after the fact. I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: will Garon effen't to you if the Spurs had come
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: back and won that series, it wouldn't have been well,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the Knicks benefited because Dolan was worried about that thing
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of a jig, that what you might call it in Vegas.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, that story wouldn't have seen the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: light of day now because they won, and it made
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people look like dumb dums. They had
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to come up with something. This is what happens when
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the media narrative dies. The media grabs the nearest shiny
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: object and calls it destiny. And here we are, so
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the Knicks one utterly debunking the terrible owner can't win
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: storyline which had been out there for so long. And
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: so now the media is heading to the wash hysteria
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and the laundromat there and they're going into the spin
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: cycle and they're working overtime James Dolan distracted by the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: new Vegas toy that opened up a few years ago. Here,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that's the silver bullet. That's it right there, We were right,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: except because of the silver bullet. There it is. It's
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: that textbook narrative laundering at the laundromat there, and the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Knicks they win, of course, and so the media, who
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: had been telling us that Dolan could not be the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: owner and when they won, he has to sell the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: team and all that, they got to find a new villain.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So now they're going to the snow Globe. They're choosing
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the snow globe as the villain, all right now, Page
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: two to San Antonio, and the better story is in
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. They'll post mortem on the Spurs,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: who were terrible writing the vomit comet throughout the NBA
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Finals there. So I read reports that there were conflicting
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: reports here. So there's one set of reports saying that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the basketball team known as the Spurs are fully committed
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to de Aaron Fox, the guy that choked in every game,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: as their franchise point guard going forward. Well, then we
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: heard that Daron Fox had done the thing you can't
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: do at the time you can't do it. He had
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: unfollowed the San Antonio Spurs official instagram page shortly after that,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: humiliating a masculating loss to the Knickerbockers in the twenty
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: twenty six NBA Finals. So the social media move has
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: quickly sparked trade speculation and people chatting, well, where's he
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: gonna go? The future is not good for dearon Fox
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in San Antonio, and that he has now cranked things
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: up unfollowing the Instagram page of the Spurs. So mixed
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: messages from the Alamo. The question is d Aaron Fox
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: unfollowing the Spurs on social media? Is this something or
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is it nothing? So, after eight minutes long deliberation of
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the available information, the error on this one is pointing
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: squarely at something. It is absolutely something. And Fox just
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: unfollowing randomly the Spurs, which coincides with him putting puke
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: all over the court, and I just absolute die die
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: diarya for d'aron Fox. And then all of a sudden
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he it's the unfollowed button and that's it, okay, come on,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of course, the uh the joke is he unfollowed the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Spurs the exact same way he unfollowed big moments in
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. He just unfollowed them and was nowhere
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to be seen. So in today's NBA, I can give
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you all kinds of psycho babble. In today's NBA, the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: unfollow button is the quickest way to let the world know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: in a passive aggressive manner that you would like a
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: job transfer. And d Aaron Fox did it. He did it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: He did it, He did it, he did it. And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it's the emoji version of I'm out see you later, suckers,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. It's saber rattling, is what it is,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: ratcheting up tensions further. Now, the reason this is not
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: just say, well, maybe hit the wrong button. His wife
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: also unfollowed the spurs. It's a family package. The wife
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was involved in this as well. That is a dead day.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Dead day when your spouse joins the digital walkout. That
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: is not a quinkidink. It is no longer a quinkidink.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: That is a coordinate attack. This was a planned out
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: attack de Aaron Fox and his wife O mgu passive aggressive.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: It's obviously passive aggressive because somebody has to track this
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: imagining the losers that track who you're following.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of this is done by AI now,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: but there are people that obset with this stuff. Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you don't follow that person anymore, and thank god they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: do that they're doing God's work. I don't really care
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that much to pay attention to who Dearon Fox is following.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, I don't have much of a life.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: That would even less of a life than I have now.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my wait a minute, is that? Oh my god?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson he started following who anyway? So the the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: unfollow is almost always the first breadcrumb that drops before
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you all of a sudden, get the league insiders saying
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Daron Fox would really like to go play for team
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: X or Y or Z or fill in the blank there.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It's the NBA's favorite appetizer, pure digital tension. And to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: crank things up even more, dearon Fox signed a massive
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: four year two hundred and thirty nine or two twenty
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: nine million. Imagine getting two hundred and twenty million or
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: whatever it is and then and being unhappy. Wow, that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: even hasn't kicked in yet. That extension we are told,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: has not even kicked in yet for Deer and Fox,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and he has been usurped on the depth chart, passed over,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: upstaged by Dylan Harper, Ron's kid, Dylan Harper. Although Harper
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: had his moments of stank in the NBA Finals as well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the Spurs didn't just get unfollowed by Deer and Fox.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: They got digitally divorced, is what happened all right? Now,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: final point to the NFL and some free agency news
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: as we are scraping the bottom of the barrel, as
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: this is the period of the calendar where NFL players
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: get arrested for domestic violence, DUI and other things. It's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: very popular time of the year to get arrested. That's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: why we do the NFL book them. We want no
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: one to get arrested. Many players choose to ignore us
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and decide they want to get arrested. So anyway, we've
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: made this up. Stefan Diggs not get arrested recently, although
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: he did have some trouble with the Patriots, got out
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of that. So Stefan Diggs, who is now a street
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: free agent in the NFL unsigned generally not a great
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: sign when we were a few weeks away from training camp,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and he said recently that he is open to joining
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. Say what, Yes, the Washington Commanders. Diggs
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: expressed excitement about the possibility of playing back home near
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a radio caller Rick in Maryland who says morning time
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and in the DC area there where he grew up
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: in Maryland, played college football at the University of Maryland,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and now he's bounced around the NFL for a number
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: of years. And when asked about that, he said, quote,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: we're kind of figuring it out, working through some things.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Close quote from Stefan Diggs. Question how do you decode?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Please decode Stefon Diggs saying he's working through some things
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: while practically begging the commanders for a job. So I've
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: decided to do dust off the Mallard jock speak dakoder ring,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: not to be confused with the Mallard Rosetta stone. No,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: no, no no, this is the Mallard jock speak. Decoder ring
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: is what we're going with here. And this is code.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: What is it code for? It's code for the market
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is cold. Washington is my absolute best and only shot. Best,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of course, means it's all as good as all the rest.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm trying. This is Stefon Diggs saying, I'm trying
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to sound mysterious. I would like to give the illusion
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that there is a lot of interest, rather than that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: no one is interested in me, and that's why I'm unemployed.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: So Diggs, of course, is not working through things when
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: he says that he's working through the harsh reality that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: no one is texting and no one is calling. Like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: if general managers were burning up the phone, burn, baby burn,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't be working through anything except travel arrangements, trying
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to get the itinerary ready to fly to whatever city
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go play for. However, at age thirty two.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this in previous episodes of the show.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: At age thirty two, with a declining burst and a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: well earned reputation from years and years and years of
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: being very moody, he's a moody guy, moo mood swings,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: all of that. Stefan Diggs. He's simply not a must
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: have guy anymore on your NFL team. The commander's depth
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: chart at wide receiver is so bad. How bad is it?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: It's thank you, it's so bad. They're looking at guys
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: like Stefan Diggs and mister Brandon Ioka the Niners, who's
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: also another head case. So they're like, hey, we won't
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: have any good players, so why don't we just get
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: some guys that are a little looney tunes and they're
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: good occasionally, and we'll bring them in and so there
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you go. The problem is that GMC. In the case
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of Stefan Diggs, you look at the resume and you say, well,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that's one problem, and then you say, there's a lot
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of maintenance. There's a lot of maintenance involved in that.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: He's not a wide receiver number one anymore. There's not
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver one. He's a wide receiver if is
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: what he is here. And this is the classic desperate
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: open to all opportunities, open to all opportunities face when
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you get to this point in your career. It's like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I just want to play somewhere. I would like to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: play somewhere. It's great. When he's happy, he'll be somewhat
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: productive Stefan Diggs. And when he's not radioactive, cher Nobyle,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: cher Noobyle. And if Washington doesn't bite, if the commanders
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: don't bite on Stefan Diggs, He's one step away, just
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: one little step away from posting those I'm in the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: greatest shape of my life videos on the gram Were
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: that that close to that happening.
