• 2:15
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna be here an hour four.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hours I mentioned from football and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Mad Max and.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Sin City and the only player.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That has any kind of cachet, any kind of aura
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, there is one, and it's a defensive player
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: who wants you to know and wants the world to know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He's got a plan for the Raiders. He's got it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: all figured out. And if you didn't hear about this,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: maybe not, why would you Probably no reason you would
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have heard this. I don't know how you would have
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: heard them. But the Raiders defensive end. Max Crosby. Max
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Crosby said that he wants Aaron Rogers. Relax, he wants
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to play in Las Vegas in twenty twenty five,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: speaking on his Fledgling podcast. Because everyone's got one, even
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I have one, so Crosby said. I think with all
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the doubt and negativity around Rogers, he's going to have
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a big year. I hope it's in our town, Crosby said,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And the latest episode of another jock podcast that would
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: be legendary. He stated, all right, So the Raiders, if
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you don't know this, they suck. They also have an
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: open chair. They have an open chair. They won four
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: games and lost thirteen with my guy Gardner Minshew starting
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: some of those games, Aidan O'Connell, and the parade of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: other losers that came through Vegas. So let's discuss the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: question how much does Max Crosby's endorsement of Aaron Rodgers
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: matter to Vegas?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: How much does it matter to Vegas?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So I've got Grizzly Bear, mister Skin and GPS, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we're gonna
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: make some pigs in a blanket. Perfect appetize. You get
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like a wedding of bar Mitz or something like that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You get those pigs in a blanket. That's the way
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to go. So my first thought on this Max Crosby,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who without getting him too, the meat of the matter
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: right away, Max Frosby, You look at him and it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: like AI generated what a Raider defensive player should look like.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He's right out of Central cast thing. And if you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: put that into like the supercomputer and said what's a Raider,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it would be Max Trosby.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: The image of Max Crosby would come up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Now, regardless of that, do I think Max Trosby has
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: any real influence over what.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: The Raiders do? Absolutely not.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I think there's a better chance Max Crosby's traded than
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. Listen to Max Crosby on who should play
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Vegas. So his ability to affect the outcome
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of roster moves, so the Raiders is squad doush Okay,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It's like the Joker from Batman. It's zero zip and Zilchanada,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Now it's just background noise. It's all
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it is background noise. Now, this is Tom Brady's opportunity.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He is the grizzly Bear, not an underwear. He's the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: grizzly bear. And we know that the bear from watching
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: nature documentaries back in the day. The bear marks the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: territory by doing what by scratching at trees and by
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: leaving claw marks on trees. So Tom Brady's trying to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: leave a claw mark on the rais even though he's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: only got a bit part of the team, not a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: controlling interest. Mark Davis has no idea what he's doing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: He's eating that orange chicken at PF Chang's. He doesn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, so he's allowing Tom Brady to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: decide what's happening. Brady hired a puppet and he's the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: GM by proxy. So one of his old college buddies
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is allegedly the GM. But we know tom Brady is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to calling the shots here. But Brady needs something
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because he's got nothing. He's I mean, he is on
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: pace to be the next Michael Jordan as far as
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: great all time players that blow as executives. Remember he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wanted Ben Johnson. He said, did me Mike Johnson? And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson said, screw you, I'm going to Chicago. I'm
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: not going there. So he already flopped on the outside
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the box coaching hire Tom Brady.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Now, Pete Carroll's good.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I have nothing against Pete Carroll, but it's not exactly
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: an original hire. When Pete's already had three or four
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: NFL head coaching jobs. I think it's three. This is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: his fourth. But depending on who gets the Raider quarterback job,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this is the opportunity, right, This is the opportunity, And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like Aaron Rodgers is legit based on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the information that we know nothing out there that's all
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that exciting though. That's the problem. There's nothing out there like, oh,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Sam Darnell, please come on. Russell Wilson,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the rotting carcass of Russell Wilson. If they signed Russell Wilson,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: they might as well make a deal with Seattle. Bring
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: back like the twelve slogan to the to Vegas. They
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: can add that out there and see if Richard Sherman
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: wants to keep playing. All right, now, Page two so
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: if Vegas is out, If Vegas is out, where will
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: mister Rogers neighborhood end up?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Where does it end up?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So now we've learned, based on minutes long mallor research,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that the most likely outcome at this out. Remember, we
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: do the show today. We're not worried about tomorrow show
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or yesterday' show. We do the show right now. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: today's show we're concerned about. And the favorites to land
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers are the gi Hey and Ts Giants.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: They are right minus one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Fifty odds to s over on DraftKings to acquire the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: services of Aaron Rodgers. We're not sure if that's good
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: or bad for our purposes. It's good, we know that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So the question, it's obviously interesting. The question is the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Giant's now emerging as that betting favorite for Aaron Rodgers,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not the Raiders.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: What is your reaction to that?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So, as I often point out, gambling markets are a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: pretty good indicator of outcomes, not perfect, but they're pretty
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: good indicator.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: They have liability. The real mister skin is in the gambling.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Market, not the guy pointing out naked people in movies,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: because they got skin in the game, right, they got
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: skin in the game, and there's money tied up, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if they get it wrong and everyone goes one direction
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and those people win, then they know they're bleeding.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Money becomes problematic.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers is a one man's circus, not that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: great anymore. But it's under the big top, Come one,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: come all, fun, for all ages for Aaron Rodgers, not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: for the squeamish or the faint of heart watching Aaron
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Rodgers play quarterback, and I just love the idea that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he could blow through Jersey suck with the Jets, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: then end up stinking up the joint with the Giants.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: That's just perfect. That is poetry is not in motion
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: because Rogers doesn't have a lot of motion.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Anymore, but it would be great. Now.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Final thought, we go to Minnesota franchise. Deadline day has
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: come and gone, and the Vikings have decided, as we knew,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they were not going to play tag with Sam Donald.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It is interesting to note, though, it is interesting to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: note the Vikings are said to be in negotiations with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned quarterback Sam Donald. They have discussed a short
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: term deal that would keep him in the Twin Cities.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So they're said to be mutual interest. Okay, So Sam donalds, like,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: somebody wants to offer me money, I'll listen. I'll listen.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: If someone wants to offer you money, you listen. So
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: free agency begins in less than a week. I know
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you're very excited about that. Try to stay calm. Try
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to stay calm. I know it's very exciting. It's titillating,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is what it is. All right, So is there really
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a path for Sam Darnald to stay in Minnesota?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Is there a path? So there should not be.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: A path, right, objectively speaking, it's dumb dumb, the dumb,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: dumb dumb. The only reason that Donald would go back
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota is no one else wants them, right, Think
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: The vikings with Donald.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They were they were a paper like a paper mache building.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: They were a house of cards.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You knew what was gonna happen, and it happened as
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: we anticipated.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Very few things in life are guaranteed.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But watching Sam Donald drool down his chin in a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: big game, yeah, so you gotta say, the only way
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this happens is that the GPS is broken.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: It's like Sam Donald's hold.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: He had a career year with the Minnesota Vikings, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: if he cannot find on the GPS the pot of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: gold at the end of the rainbow, then he'd go back,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: but he would not sign any more than a one
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: or two year kind of contract there. And the Vikings
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: should let Sam Donald go and focus their attention on
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy because in my eyes, and I'm not a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Viking person, I got I don't have a horse in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the race here. But if I'm the Vikings, I want
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with Sam Donald. Because Sam Donald screwed yo,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: all right. He was right there final week of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: season against the Lions. He went out there and wrote
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the vomit comment and then did it again just to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: prove that it wasn't a mistake. Against the Rams in
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, he got sweaty palms and and just.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Like that red look of dismay in his icy crumble.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: So you don't reward that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But it is interesting that Donald is supposedly talking now,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you talk to anybody that wants to offer you money.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I learned that years ago.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: However, the fact that supposedly there's actual numbers going back
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and forth, that tells you that there ain't much out
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: there for Sam Darnal A right, and not a lot
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: out there. There's not a lot of people that are like, hey,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we want some Sam Darnald. Not a lot a lot
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of that going on. And you, you and I both know, right,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: NFL free agency, it's already underway, right, the chatter all that,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it's all already underway. It's going on. These conversations are
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: happening through intermediaries and all that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: To catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: All right, so our lead this hour, I'm going to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: start out in the Delaware Valley is where we're going
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to start here talking about these stories of the day.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And in Philadelphia. Money, money, money, a lot of money,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. If you have not heard yet,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we learned that the Eagles, enjoying the afterglow of thumping
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Kansas City in Super Bowl fifty nine, they're in the Bayou.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: They have said we.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Love you, we love you, we love you to Sequon Barkley,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and they have shown him the money. They have re
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: signed their franchise running back at least for last year,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to a two year contract for forty one point two
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: million dead presidents. Now, how big a deal is that?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Put that into some context for me, or we'll put
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it into content for you. I'll explain this to you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: like you're five years old. So Barkley will be the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: NFL's first ever running back to make more than twenty
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: million dollars a season. Take that Barry Sanders and Bo
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Jackson and Eric Dickerson and Marshall Falk and all the rest.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So over twenty million dollars a season. And he also
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: has procured thirty six million fully.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed, so he's in good ship.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't have to worry about the price of eggs,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: does not have to worry about tariffs or any of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: He's good to go. So let us discuss the question.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Is there a big takeaway from sequon Barkley getting this
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: massive payday with the birds. So I've got sopranos, himalayas,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and soul sucking. Will combine all of these things together,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and we are going to make the steak sandwich, which
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: outside of Philadelphia they call it to cheese steak, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak, but in Philly they just say it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a steak sandwich because They don't need to say Philadelphia,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak because that's that's outside Philadelphia, all right,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So uh, numb burn num.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Burn, all right.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, this doesn't change the direction of the running back
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: pay scale. Like bes, Oh, this is it, this is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the defining moment. This is he broke the glass ceiling,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I disagree. And here's why. What Seqwan
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Barkley did is a unique situation. It's like finding a unicorn.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You're not likely to find many unicorns. Maybe you'll find one.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: But Barkley painted the mona Lisa. As we say, he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: ran for over two thousand yards, and he put the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: entire bird's nest on his back and led them to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the promised them. We all saw it, every man, woman
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and child saw it. And so the eagles the way
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I look at it, here, they're going old school HBO.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: They're going.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They're transferring large sums of money in unmarked envelopes like
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Manila envelopes, and just handing Barkley a load of cash.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And if you listen closely, you can hear the crinkle
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in the envelope filled with it's a good sound and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it's not the riches of Solomon it's the riches of Lurie,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: as in Jeffrey Luriy, the owner of the Philadelphia football team.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Now that's it. I maintain my position.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: This is a unique set of circumstances that is unlikely.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Everything lined up for Sequon Barkley. The Giants thought he
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was gonna suck. We were skeptical, and he went out
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and did a great job. But fresh off the dopamine
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: hit right to the brain from winning the Super Bowl
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and all that, Philadelphia, even with that paying him the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. When you take a couple
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of steps back and look across the serengetti, really what the.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: The Eagles did here is they were measured. He didn't
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: go all in. Well that's outrageous. They give him thirty
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: six million all it? No, they didn't.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Let me explain, right, if you do the mal or,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Matt Barkley's twenty eight years old, so right in the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: athletic prime. Athletic prime goes about thirty two. So he's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in his athletic prime right now. But running backs normally
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: age out about thirty. So if you do the math,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia is not interested in paying Barkley top dollar past
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the age of thirty. So this contract takes care of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: him the rest of his twenties and then once he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: gets into his early thirties, it's X nay on the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: money A that's it now, Page two. What can Sequon
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Barkley do now? Now that he's got the contract and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: everyone's loving him, He'll never have to pay for a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: meal anytime soon in Philadelphia?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: He and Nick Foles are golden.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: So what does Saquon Barkley do for an Encore after
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: this massive payday and the perfect season for the Eagle?
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: So I mean answer, all right? I had the answer.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I spent several.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Minutes deliberating this, and the answer is Barkley can now
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: go to the Himalayas. Now, why can Barkley go to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Himalayas? He can go to the Himalayas because that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it's a good news bad news situation. Right, Barkley will
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: only be able to match what he did last year
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. He will not be able to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: pass what he did last year. That's impossible. It's like
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: sitting in the Himalayas on top of Mount Everest, the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: highest mountain top that we know of on the planet. Right,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you go to Mount Everest, you climate, you scale Mount Everes,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you're at the very top or in this case, Mount Lombardi.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And as the line goes, and we've heard this, when
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you reach the top of the mountain, there's only one
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: way to go down. And so there is this thing
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: called regression to the mean. It's like the Madden covered jinks.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: There used to be these thing called magazines people used
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to read. They used to be a popular magazine called
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated before I was alive, and then this thing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: called the Sis the cover jinks, because normally you would
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: end up on the cover of a magazine or video
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: game after an amazing season, and typically you don't have
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: back to back amazing seasons. It is a regression to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the mean. Extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate ones.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: It's like when I have a good show during the week,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I never have back to back good shows. I normally
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: only have one a month and the rest of the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: month blows. But for one night a month, very good,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: very good. And now am I saying Barkley's gonna fall
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: off the map. No, I'm not saying that. Let's not
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: get crazy. However, two thousand yards, No, that's not gonna happen,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles will not be repeating the Super Bowl
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Championship parade in twenty twenty six in the Bay Area,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: which is where Super Bowl sixty will be played. All right, now,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: final point, staying with the theme of the hour, the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: running back position, we now go to the land where
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: too dump Kenny is currently putting tuna fish cans on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Aisle five at the grocery store there. But I'm proud
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of him. He called the blastar too dump Kenny, one
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of our new callers, trying to win Rookie of the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Year for next year, and he did not did not curse.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Good job by him.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: So the Steelers, the pets, the Steelers are unwilling to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: pay Nasee Harris what he wants. He wants eight to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: ten million here, Barker's getting twenty million. He wants eight
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to ten I'd also like eight to ten million. They
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: don't want to pay me that here either, but eight
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to ten million on the open market. And so the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: chatter is that Pittsburgh is gonna say bye bye and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: get rid of nase Harris. So are you surprised that
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: every key indicator points to the Steelers not wanting to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pay their starting running back, a guy they drafted at
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a pretty high clip there, Naji Harris. So I give
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: this some side eye. I wouldn't pay him either. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: wouldn't pay me either.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're a hater. I'm not a hater to me.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: This is a no brainer. And again I don't have any.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Skin in the game with Pittsburgh and all that. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: just watch all these games and have that fledgling TV
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: show and the Steelers cost me some money on the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: TV show. But here's the thing. Harris is easily replaceable.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Is that an accurate statement? The Najie Harris is easily replaceable.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I believe it is an accurate statement. He is not
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a force multiplier. Now the positive, the Marching and Chowder
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Society will say, well, he's been over a thousand yards
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: every year he's been in Pittsburgh, and he went over
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: one thousand yards last year, thousand and forty three yards
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: for the insurers, and that sounds nice, and back in
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: my day when I was going up one thousand yards,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it was a big deal. But they added an extra game.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even that big a deal as I think
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: about it, when they played sixteen games. So now they
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: play seventeen games. It works out. Najie Harris averaged sixty
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: one point three yards per game. But that even if
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that was okay, he said, Wow, a thousand yards will
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: take that, even if that was fine. The bigger problem
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: for the Steelers what do they lack on offense? They
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: lack the Rasmataz. They are a stationary team. They don't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: have the wow factor on offense, and Najee Harris has
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: been one of the least efficient running backs in the
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: NFL ever since he entered the NFL. Year after year,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: soul sucking efficiency from Najie Harris. Yeah, there's sound of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it right there. He's a lumbering running back, is what
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: he is. Now, what is my supporting evidence. I'll give
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it to you right now, my pitch. Despite all these
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: thousand yard seasons, his career average is three point nine
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: yards per carry. But more importantly, there are no real
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: game changing plays. He has been in the NFL and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: run the ball over a thousand times over almost eleven
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: eleven hundred carries. Almost eleven hundred carries in Najie Harris's
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: career in Pittsburgh, and he has as many forty yard
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: runs as you and I have bumpkis. He has never
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: had a forty yard breakaway. You know where they the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: whole opens up and you zoom through and you run
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: past the secondary and you know the linebackers on the secondary,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and you get forty plus yards. Saquan Barkley, I know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: apples to oranges, but Barkley, he did that like every
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: other play against the Rams. It seemed like with the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Eagles last year. So who's gonna pay Najie Harris eight
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to ten million dollars year? There's always a sucker out there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and it's a sucker's paradis. If you spin the Malar
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: wheel of speculation round and round and round, Big.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Money, Big Bundy, no Webby stop on the Malar wheel
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: of speculation.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: The Raiders, the Raiders, the Chargers, and the Chicago Bears
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: came up on the the Malard wheel of speculation and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: they all need help in the running game.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: And Najee Harris is available.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And you put two or two together and I think
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you get like three or four or something like that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And all of them are desperate. And when you're desperate,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you do things you probably wouldn't do if you weren't desperate.

• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one Big Ben gets grilled. Coop Hall Loop.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: So, after Kyrie Irving went down for the season with
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: an injury, many mass fans took to social media to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: proclaim this as one of the all time worst sports
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: seasons ever for a fan base.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Ben, where does this rank on your big board? Well,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: it does remind me. This happens a lot in baseball.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I remember the Dodgers loaded up back, you know, a
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: million years ago, and they spent a bunch of money
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: on Kevin Brown and Free Pitcher and a couple other guys,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and then they either got hurt or they suck. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: guess a better basketball comp, Coop, would be the Lakers
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: when they got Steve Nash and Dwight Howard and you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: all told me this is gonna be the greatest team
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in the world. And Steve Nash was washed up and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Dwight Howard didn't like Kobe.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: And like left after one year. So I guess that
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: would be the comp.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I would use most of my basketball references involved just
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: god awful teams, but it's if you believe in karma.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you believe in that, maybe you don't,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: maybe it's not real. But if you believe in karma,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Nico Harrison and the Dallas Mavericks, they are getting extra
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: helpings and all you can eat buffet of karma by
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: giving away Luca to your Lakers and then having Kyrie
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: get hurt, raising ticket prices like anything that can go
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: wrong has gone wrong.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Next, Justin Jefferson was recently asked about his uncertain quarterback situation,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: and he said, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: He's gonna try to make him look like the best
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: quarterback in the whole NFL. Yeah, Ben, do you think
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Jefferson will make JJ McCarthy look great?
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Jeffers is wonderful.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I think what really Jefferson's saying the way I interpret that,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I use my not my Rosetta stone, my mallerstone, And
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: really what he's saying is it doesn't matter because I'm
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: going get the ball more than just about any other
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. Justin Jefferson was third in targets.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: That's all these guys care about. They care about money
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and targets. And so Justin Jefferson was third in the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: NFL last year for the Vikings with Sam Darnold, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: he got his numbers. And the only receivers in the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: NFL that had more targets were Jamar Chase, who set
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: all kinds of records for the Bengals, and Molik Neighbors
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of the Giants.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: So you know, I don't care.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: He's got his money, and he knows he's going to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get the ball ten twelve times a game, so they're
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: not going to have a total turd at quarterbacks. So
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that's what he's talking about. I do love the bravado.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I guess he's really saying, it doesn't matter whether we
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: win or not. I'll make these guys look good because
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna win with Sam Donald. I don't know
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: whether JJ McCarthy can play or not at the NFL level,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: but he's really saying, so I'm gonna get my numbers.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I got my money.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: That's all I care about. That's the message. That is
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the message from JJ McCarthy. Right next when the.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: NBA offseason arrives and the Suns work with Kevin Durant
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: to find him a home, which team do you think
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: would be the best destination for Cadi.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see here, Coop. Uh, I don't know the Lakers, no, right, No,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We don't need him the championship.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Without it, you're not winning the championship.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Why not the Lakers? I mean everything's the NBA is rigged.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I hate the NBA. I can't anytime the Lakers are winning.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: NBA blows. Okay, And if I own the Clippers, I'd
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: released James Harden today, I'd fired tyleru.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Uh the Suns? Did you said?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: They were fighting with each other on the silent Kevin
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Durant and Butenholzer were literally at loggerheads on the sidelines.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: The Clippers were up like twenty three boys and they
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: lost the game. And there's some I've never heard of
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: for the Phoenix Suns that played like Jeff Hornisek in
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: It sucks.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I hate the NBA. I'm done. I'd rather watch spring
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: training baseball.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Coop.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm at the point now. I turned on the Reds
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Dodgers spring training game. That's how discussed. I want to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: puke in my mouth when I think of the NBA.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: What a terrible product. End the season right now? What
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a give the Lakers the rant and if that doesn't work,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: who else can they get? How about Anthony Edwards? Put
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: him on the Lakers. How about Jalen Brunson, he's friends
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: with Luca. How about Jason Tatum, he like Kolby. Put
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: him on the Lakers.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: New Dynasty Incoming.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Put him all the Lakers, every single Evan player, because
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that's the only team. Adam Silver caz about it. It's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a rig league. I hate the NBA. I hate it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I hated, I hated, I hated, I hated.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I hated. How did we do? Coop? You failed? This
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: edition down s threw you. You're a hater, all right,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: You're a sucks for you. I am the people's champ.

  Speaker 5: So you know, you got to do the classic stuff.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: You got to hear the Swan boats. I know the
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: water is disgusting, but like it's kind of a vibe.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Well, they cleaned off the Swan Boat Park though, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the Genie in Medford plaque is at Swan Boat Park.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Go and sit on the famous Genie.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: That's right, there's a there's a bench in La dedicated
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: to the late Genie in Medford. And it hasn't somehow
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: hasn't me been urinated on or vandalized.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I love that it's one there. It's right near like
• 31:21

• 31:25
  Speaker 6: forever and there's turtles.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can also make love. Okay, I don't think
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: you can do that. I don't think you can make
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: a love to do a turtle. No, But but you can't.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I think that's illegal. But yeah, and go to Universal

• 31:52
  Speaker 1: song should I play my lady to set the mood?
