• 0:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of NFL stuff going on by we are
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: scheduled to have I don't know. I don't think the
• 0:40

• 0:52
  Speaker 1: More on that coming up play and they might not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: show up, they might flake, who knows. But our lead
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this hour is from La via the NF Owners meetings.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of good content coming out of the Valley
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of the Sun adjacent at a luxury resort. So Sean McVay,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the top coach in the NFL today, no one will
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. So Sean McVay spoke about the party
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: hardy pass catcher who's been making headlines in the tabloids
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of months. That would be Pookah
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: no Cooah. McVeigh had a lot to say Among the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: comments from Sean McVay, he said that he did have
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a talk. He had a talk with Pooka nicour this
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: year about the activity being responsible and essentially the stan
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Lee quote with the great responsibility comes blah blah blah
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: blah blah, gave him that whole thing. As he's representing
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the RAMS organization, Sean, and he said, McVeigh, he trusts
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Pooka Noicoah is a good human being and he's not
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: going to rush to judgment, he said. And he says
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: McVeigh said, he t us the kid's heart, he said,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: among other things, and he's going to continue to help
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: him grow. McVeigh also mentioned the quote expectations for his receiver.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Pooka said that this is a opportunity for him to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: learn and grow. All right, there you go. Okay says
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that he thinks Pooka will be a RAM for a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: really long time. What does that mean really long time?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Your definition of really long time and my definition of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: really long time two different things. So that's a good
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what's the meaning,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: if any, that you're pulling out of rams coach Sean
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: McVay as we parse the words of his comments about
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Pooka and Akoua on the future and what's been going
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: on here in Ramland. In Ramland, so I've got algebra,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: evil twin and velvet curtain, and we will combine all
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make some chicken
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: palm parmesan. That's what We're gonna make, a little fetacini
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on the side. So A the takeaway on this one,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it's rather obvious. The takeaway from Sean mvay's comments is
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the classic. It's a el classico exercise in what's known
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: as situational ethics, is what it is. We know what's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going on here. This We learned this from a former
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio contributor. I don't know if the guys
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: worked here or not. I know he did a couple
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of years ago. Steve Kaim the general manager of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Cardinals for a while, and they brought him in to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: speak cliches during the draft. It's very good at that. However,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Steve Khim gave one of the all time great quotes
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: when he was with the Arizona Cardinals years ago, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he famously said, if Hannibal Lecter ran a four to four,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the teams would call it just an eating disorder as
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they prepared to draft him. And that's it. And so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the Rams, I know what they're doing. Here's obvious what
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: they're doing. Putt in the quotes. Good. So they're doing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the back of the napkin what we call malor algebra,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: which is p kt equals s M two squared. It's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a spin off of Einstein's theory. And what is this, well,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: production productivity. Productivity keeps talent as long as Sean Vivey's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: ego can square the talent. As long as that happens,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we're good now in the NFL. When you hear character
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: concerns and quotes, I think we know this by now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but it's a refresher course. So if you hear character concerns,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that is often just a synonym for not talented enough yet. Right,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if you're talented enough, then it's all different. It's the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: production buffer. As long as Pukainakua continues to put up
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: top five numbers for a wide receiver, historical numbers for
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a player drafted in the middle rounds like he was,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: his off the field fret boy antics are going to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be categorized as growing pains. It's just growing pains the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: moment though, one hundred yard games with one or two
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: touchdowns turned into forty yard games with no touchdowns. When
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that happens, abra cadabra, suddenly the same teachable moments will
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be cited as the reason that he has to be
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: shipped out of town. We cannot have him anymore. You
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: know that. I know that every man, woman and child knows.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: That's how it works. It's so different in any business.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: People get all worked up about football. Work in radio.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: There were some people that worked at places I've been
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that were complete losers, but they got ratings and they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: made the company money. So they put up with it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: When the ratings weren't there and they stopped making money
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: for the company, they're doing podcasts. That's how that works.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That's the game right there. That's the game. And so
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay, it's pretty simple here McVeigh isn't managing the player,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Pooka Akua. He's not. He's managing the asset, pookin a coua,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: as are the rams in this case. He will tolerate
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the distraction as long as the ROI the return on
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: investment is high. And it's not about being a mentor
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's like just wins and losses,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: wins and blankety blank losses, and who gets you closer
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to that that point And we're gonna have to pay
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Pukakua a ton a ton of money. He'll be the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: highest paid receiver in the NFL shortly now. Meanwhile, to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the Niners NFC West, we stay in the NFC West
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: where we have a he said, he said situation not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: exactly on the same page. Now, this involves Kyle Shanahan,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: who regurgitated essentially the same talking points that John Lynch,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the general manager, had said regarding Brandon Auk, the wide
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: receiver who walked away from the forty nine ers and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I just didn't want to play. And the consensus between
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Shanahan and Lynch is that Brandon Ayuk has played his
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: last snap with the forty nine ers. At the same time,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they're not in any kind of hurry. They're not looking
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to get rid of anyone anytime soon. Meaning there's this
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: holding pattern which is going on. There's like a holding
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: pattern going on right now. And Shanahan gave a long
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: winded response. He said, I don't have a date on this.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He said. However, he said, but I know eventually it'll
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be resolved. It will resolve itself. He said, well, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: bring this up. I said, it's a he said, he
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: said situation. So a couple hours later, walking in just
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: dropping money because you know, he's a rich guy that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: inherited the money. Forty nine Ers owner Jed York, who
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was born on not just third base, he was born
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: halfway to home plate, so Jed York singing a much
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: different tune. The aristocrat owner of the forty nine Ers,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: even going as far as to imply that there is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a possibility that Brandon Ayuk will remain in the Bay
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Area for another NFL season. York said, quote, I think anything,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: anything's possible, right, he said. We want to make sure
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that we have as talented today roster as possible. First
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and foremost, York said, he meaning iug needs to get
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: healthy and be able to reform. Blah blah blah blah
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He's a really good football player. All right,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: question here it is, how do you decode that? He said?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: He said situation mixed messages between Kyle Shanahan and the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: owner and regarding wide receiver Brandon IOK in his future
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: there in the northern California region. So on this one,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this is a classic case of right hand versus invisible
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hand and the owner talking out of his tookis you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: got Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch who are in lockstep, right,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: they're just regurgitating the same talking points, which means they're
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in agreement on this. And then you've got the owner
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: coming in here and he's like, oh, no, no, no, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I'm gonna go with Shanahan and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Lynch because they're the ones that are in the foxhole,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: if you will. And they've pretty much acted throughout this
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: offseason like morticians who are already measuring the pine box
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: for IUK with the forty nine ers. That that's how
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that's going. And we've seen enough. We can't handle anymore.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: All that stuff. He played his last snap. All that rigamarole,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and they're just waiting for the NFL Draft, which is
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: still about a month away. And then at that point,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: unload cargo. Unload cargo at that point. And so you've
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: got that. And I just love the fact that Jed
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: York is acting like a total jackwagon in this, tossing
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: out a word salad and clearly not either not paying
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: attention to what Shanahan and the Chief said or just
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: completely oblivious. Either way, it's the same thing. And so
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: so there you go, and give me a break. This
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is the tail. It's the tail of the twins. You've
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: got Brandon Ayuck, who's become Casper's evil twin Crisper, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the unfriendly ghost haunting the franchise and all that. And
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the guy was a QQ, not q Bert QQ. He
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: quiet quit on the forty nine ers, ghosting almost everyone,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: which what do I know, I just see the Overnight show.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm generally speaking, that's not something that goes over very well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that? I mean, okay, I don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: think I am. I don't think. I mean failed to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: meet the even the minimum standards of professional lism. That's it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And the main reason that Brandon will not be back.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: He's not going to renegotiate his contract. So lost millions
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of dollars for this power play Brandon Auk, and you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: look about it. You look, you look around, and you're like, well, okay,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So he's got a twenty five million dollar or something
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like that roster bonus through September first. So there's a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: better chance that I get twenty five million dollars from
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and that Ornesto is there to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: take a picture of me while I get the check,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the oversized check for twenty five million dollars from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Niners while wearing a Rams hat. There is a better
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: chance of all that happening than Brandon Ayuk getting that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: roster bonus from the forty nine ers. So forget about it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Forget about it. Not gonna happen now, Brandon, who is
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: on the natty list, so we expect him to finally
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: be set free now the shot that he gets traded
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for a conditional late round Kino card. It is more
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: likely than not, though, that he will be just let
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: go and then sign one of those proven one year
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: contracts with some horny, desperate wide receiver team like the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Chargers of the commanders or somebody like that, or a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: mystery team, the mystery team, because he ain't going back
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to the Niners, all right. Now, the last word here,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the last word on this is we go to the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: bending of the rules. The bending of the rules is
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: where we go here. So we are told that the NFL,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: which has been steadfast and we have all these guardrails
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: up to protect players and all this stuff, while the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: NFL now is considering a special exemption to let certain teams,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: certain teams play more than two short weekends. You know
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: those games where you play on a Sunday and then
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: boom right back at it on a Thursday, back at it,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all right, So they're gonna suppose he expand that and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: allow more teams to play. Now, the question is why
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: why would Roger Goodell and the big bosses there at
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He's the biggest boss, but he's just a conduit,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a messenger pigeon, a useful idiot for the owners. So
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: why would Roger Goodell's NFL bend the short week schedule
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: rules give exemptions to certain team So this is the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: old abra cadabra magic set is what this is. It's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: street magic, right, there on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: where all of the major heads of the industrial sports
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: complex have offices within a couple of blocks. I did
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that walk. I walked past the baseball headquarters. Then I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: went over to the NBA and the NFL. They're all
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: within a couple of blocks of each other on either
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue there in the concrete jungle
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of Manhattan. So anyway, the point is publicly, the NFL
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: puts on the white lab coat, and they do that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: very well. They talk about concussion protocol and player longevity
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and independent medical professionals and all that safety. First blah
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: blah blah, blah blah. They're running some kind of monastery, right,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they're really into it. And then it's a masterclass on
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what we call corporate flim flam is what it is.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They'll look you right in the eye and right straight there,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: right in the lot of your face, is what they
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: will do. And they'll say the shield is a suit
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of armor for the players and all this, and of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: course not the crash test dummies. You know it, I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know it, we all know it. That's the way it is.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And privately, behind the velvet curtain, if you will. The
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: story is the player. The players like the disposable paper
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: plate at the billionaires Barbecue in the Hamptons and at
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the billionaire buffet. They're at the barbecue buffet in the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Hamptons and all that. You got Jeff Bezos over there,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like he's looking at that flea bitten Week fourteen schedule matchup,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and he's like, well, why are we broadcasting a garage sale.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: We're like the largest company in the world. Why are
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we broadcasting this trek? What is that? He wants theater
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like they Amazons spent a lot of money. They want
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, They would like the Canon arm, Josh Allen,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they would like to see Magic Man, Patrick Mahoney and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: all that, and they want to see it. And then
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they're limited on how many games they can play, So
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: why don't we get more of them? And what sugar
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Daddy wants, Sugar Daddy gets. The NFL is treating the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: player longevity like stale brand. And of course they have
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to just keep Amazon happy because they want more of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Amazon's money, so Amazon can raise prices. I got an
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: email from a guy complaining. He said, Netflix is raising prices.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I said, and I guess YouTube would raise prices. I'm like, yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this is what happens. Professional sports gets involved and the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: price of everything goes up. One of the main reasons
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I was told years ago, one of the reasons, like
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I was just in Vegas this week, and one of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the reasons they started charging for parking is because of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the hockey team, the arena they put behind New York,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: New York. They got to make some money from parking,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and so hey, let's just charge everyone thirty five dollars
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to part. We'll screw everybody. Wait till the a star plane.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: They'll raise the price of parking right there in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: strip in Las Vegas, and everything gets more expensive, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it just gets trickled down to the to the owners
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in sports and the teams, and that's how that works.
• 16:20

• 17:11
  Speaker 1: very easy to read, you know this reading the future
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and the tarot cards and all that stuff. It's it's
• 17:19

  Speaker 1: a hustle. You play the odds. You play the odds, Like,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: do you have someone in your family that has her
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: name starts with the letter A, Well, most people do,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: most people do. I bring this up because the New
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: York Mets went out and hornswoggled the Phillies to get
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Bob Baschett. So they got Bashett. He was supposed to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia, end up going to the Mets instead,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and he had a terrible opening weekend in New York.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Now the Mets played again on Monday night, but heading
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: into Monday, Bobaschett the season opening series had fourteen at bats,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: only one hit, and the fans decided to boom booo.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: They booed him. They showed their displeasure for the former
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Blue Jay, who was asked about the experience of getting
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that New York welcome and getting booed by the hometown
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: fans there just a couple of games into his Mets career,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and his response he said, quote if anything is a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: quote from Boba Schet. He said, if anything, I thought
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it took too long. I get it. I thought myad
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: bats were terrible, too close. Quote all right, So that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: how did your scorecard read on Bobashet's handling of the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Mets boom birds. So I've got my observation list, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: got h bomb, We've got uber eats and Toddler, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and put on
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a happy face. All right, So number wa number yes,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'll let me let me get something straight right now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Bobaschett did not just handle the opening weekend
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: boo birds. He gave them a masterclass on psychological warfare
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: in the industrial complex of professional sports. I'm not sitting
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: here saying Boberchet's gonna be amazing. I thought he was
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a good player in Toronto. I liked him, and I'm
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy that he's on the Mets because
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the Mets will find a way to screw this up.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: They don't have good enough pitching to be a real threat.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Uh so, there's that. But here's the thing, all right,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: this was textbook with a capital T, A plus plus
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: plus on the Mallards scorecard, extra credit. You hear the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: noise at City Field, all right, the fans throwing the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: verbal raspberries at you. Right, that was not the Bronx cheer,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't the Bronx. This was the Queen's sneer,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: is what it was. The queens sneer and the whole
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: peanut gallery giving him the business and all that stuff,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and Bashett, he didn't bark back. There was no bark back.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He didn't chirp. He just he didn't go full tough guy.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: He's not a douche Canoe like Anthony rin Donald or
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: something like that. You know, he's making that kind of money.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Not that. What he did was he deflated the balloon
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and he used an H bomb humor. He used humor,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: he admitted he sucked. Right, that's the way to do it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: You admit it, and then you have de escalated the situation.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: That is how you handle the boo birds. And he
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: did it there. It's this cat and mouse game, and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it's more fun when the players do not know how
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to handle it, then we can goof on them. Bashett,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: based on what I saw, he handled this pretty well.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And it's not that difficult the cat and mouse game.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: If you play well, you were living up to the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: contract and that's it. You don't get extra credit until
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And then when you start getting big hits
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you become immortalized and all that h
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and if you don't hit, you are then public enemy
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: number one. That's the game. That's the game. It's the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: fine print. What was it, one hundred and twenty six
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: million dollar contract aav average annual value forty two million?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: You think that doesn't paint a bullseye on your back?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: You think you think that? Please come on, now, that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: is New York professional Baseball, which is the way it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. Although even the New York I got
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: an email from a guy who's out in the Long Island.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He's like, well, it's not the same. It's trying to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: make it seem like it's the same. It's not the same. Well,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: nothing stays the same. And I'd say there's less of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a safe space than in some other places. And hopefully
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the Met fans don't go soft like in Philadelphia and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: buy a billboard. It's like, we support you, way to go.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You know, all that dopey hockey stuff and all that,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and so far, bashit. There's only been a few games.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: He's been cool, calm and calculated and all that. And
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so that he won the weekend even though he didn't play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: We had one hit. He followed that up, had a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: couple of ribbies. The Mets beat the Cardinals the Red
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Birds on a Monday night to kick off a road series,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and so one base hit. Not great for the money
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: they're paying better than the weekend, better than the weekend.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: All right? Now, two Milwaukee, we go the crew? How
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: about the crew? So the Milwaukee Brewers. We're gonna talk
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: about something that has been yapped about by all the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: baseball gurus who think this is like the smartest thing
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: in the world, the greatest thing since Slice brand, since
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Slice Brand. So the Brewers have a shortstop prospect named
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt. Who the hell is that Cooper Pratt? Well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I bring this up because he agreed to a contract
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: for eight years and fifty point seven million, a guy
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: no one's ever heard of, fifty point seven million. Pratt
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is twenty one. He is said to be a promising
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: young player in the Brewers organization, so the report says,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and the Brewers being celebrated for locking this guy up
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a lah. The Atlanta Braves a couple of years back
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: with Ronald Lacuna Junior locked him up, although not this,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: not nearly as much as that. And Jackson Curio also
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: got one of these type contracts in the Brewers and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: so essentially it's been nothing but compliments for Milwaukee and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: all that. He's not very good as a hitter. He's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a defensive player at age twenty one, not much of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a hitter. So the question, give me the word, give
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: me the word for Milwaukee signing prospect Cooper Pratt to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: an eight year contract extension eight years. So I'm gonna
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: give you two words. My words are fuzzy dice. Those
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: are my words, fuzzy dice. And you can hang it
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: from the rear view mirror and pray that the engine
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: does not fall out somewhere out on the highway in Barstow.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Just hope that doesn't fa The brewers are acting like
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they just found a bitcoin as the gift in the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: cracker jack box, and I'm pretty sure that this is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: not a bitcoin situation. The industry term for this is hope.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: All right, that's it. You're you're selling hope. You hope
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: this guy figures out how to hit Milwaukee is hoping
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the bat shows up like it's like an Uber eats
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and Femi, the Uber Eat driver in Minnesota stop by,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I said, I made a long distance drive here, and well,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: but the food keeps getting delayed. What's happening? I don't understand.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Why is the food delayed? Your hitter is on the way,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Your hitter is on the way and all that. And
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, no he's not. He's stuck in double
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: A traffic and this that and the other thing. That
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Pratt again the sky report. From what I read, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: haven't seen the guy play. There's some YouTube clips. The
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: guy they say has outstanding glove end quote developing bat.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: They say, develop bat. That's the claim. The two most
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: dangerous words in baseball lexicon translation. We have no efing idea.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: We have no efing idea. Major League Baseball's pipeline, which
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: is propaganda from Big Baseball, says that he's the sixty
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: second ranked minor league player, which means he's not in
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the top ten, top twenty, top thirty, top forty, top fifty,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: not even top sixty. That is not elite, at least
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: not where I come from. So if he hits, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he's a good defensive player, and I said, okay, this
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is a steal for the Brewers and all that stuff,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: lock in the price. If he doesn't hit, this turns
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: out to be a boone doggle, a boone dog, a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Brewers boone doggle. And so it's not so much confidence.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It's essentially crossing your fingers and calling that a strategy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: We don't think that's a strategy. We don't. We don't
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: think that's a strategy. The page on that the final
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: point from listener Steve, who listens on a nightly basis.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: In he says he's not in Toronto, but he's close enough.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: He goes to Blue Jay's game, so he's somewhere in
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Ontario there. I think he's in Hamilton, which is not
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's far away to get out my
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: map on my phone, but I don't think it's that
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: far away anyway. He pointed out that the Blue Jays
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: over the weekend set a franchise record a fifty in
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: their fiftieth season. Starting their fiftieth season, the Blue Jays
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: struck out fifty batters in their opening series against the Athletics,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and that set the record for strikeouts in the first
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: three games of the season. Kevin Gossman, who's seeming to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: have been around forever, he said, he blew Jay opening
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: day record, had eleven strikeouts, and then Dylan Cease, who
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: just came over from the Padres, he had twelve. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: then Eric Lauer struck out nine on Sunday's Toronto. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the question, are you impressed to our friend in again,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's in Hambleton. Are you impressed with the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays overpowering pitching staff after coming this close to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: winning the World Series? Setting the tone early? All right,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So you have to understand. I look at this thing
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: through the eyes of a cynical talk show host. So
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I look at this, and I know the stat geeks
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: are all aroused, and they're all, oh, this is great.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm all horned up here, all these strikeouts
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. This is not the Great Wall
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: of Toronto all of a sudden. We're not recreating the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves of the nineties. We're not doing that here.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The story is really to me, it's not about the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays. The better story is in the losing locker
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: room the Athletics. That's where the story is. They are
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: not even a major league team. It's like a traveling
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: variety act. It's like a freak show. The Athletics and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the baseball scraps. Oh look at all the young talent
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: they have and all that. They're an embarrassment. The Athletics
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: are a blight on the baseball landscape. They just are
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and they will be until they relocate to Vegas. They
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: should be back in Oakland. That's not gonna happen. That
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: stadium is rising up from the middle of the strip
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: there in Vegas, so that's gonna happen. But they're not
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a major league team. They're like a traveling circus and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: they get to refuel in Sacramento and then they move
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: on and go go elsewhere. But either like the Blue Jays,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: like if you're old, you know, back in the day,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: they had amazing pitching with Jack Morris who had one
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: really good year than one terrible year in Toronto, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: they were winning worlds as Jimmy Key, pat Henkin, guys
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like that, Juan Guzman, those were some of the great
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: pitchers in that era for the Blue Jays. Like those
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: guys were assassins, absolute assassins. These guys, they're not bad.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Just again, I think it was more about the athletics,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and it was anything that these these guys did. These
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: sat and they're really not athletics. So the Sacramento orphans
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they're there, are traveling orphans and and just kind of
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: hanging out there and Brent Rooker and Nick Kurtz and
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: those guys were swinging away, swing about a swing about
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I saw wing uh, and like they were trying to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: hit the moon while blindfolded with a pool need a noodle.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Not not a good strategy there, And so I wouldn't
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: brag about that. It's kind of like a bragging about
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: beating a toddler in a foot race. I wouldn't brag
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: about that either. I wouldn't really brag about that. And
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: so these teams, it's not just the athletics across baseball.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: They refuse to choke up the bat and they refuse
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to adjust. That's you're you're a boomer if you want
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to do that, and so I think that's pathetic. You
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: get two strikes, put the ball in play, make somebody
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: make a play. They don't do that anymore. So this
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: was a gift from the baseball gods to make Toronto
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: start so really special for five minutes to start the year.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And then that's it. And they did go back to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: reality as the Colorado Rockies, who will lose one hundred
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: games yet again, beat up Toronto fourteen to five in
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a game that was not even that close on a random,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: random Monday, Rockies put up by seventh spot. When you
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: give up seven runs in one inning, that is embarrassing. Anyway.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlord Show. If you're listening last hour,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: old buddy Eddie Garcia is hanging out with us. Here
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the rare and provate Siria Sean is in here as well,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: not paying any attention. I could literally say the worst
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: things in the world about Siria Sean. He is not
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: paying any attention. He's having a private conversation right now
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: with Cooper Loop. He is not He's locked in. He
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: has no care in the world anything I say right now.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I could give the winning numbers to the lottery, which
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: would make Serious Sean a very rich man, and he
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: would not hear them. And if I gave them out
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and I talked slowly, he would still not hear them.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: He would not make any money on that. He's so
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: fun focused on what he's doing. It's fascinating this serious Sean.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He also gave me a guilt trip. Yeah, he gave
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: me a give me a guilt trip.

• 31:21
  Speaker 5: John Harbaugh was fired from The Ravens, but he said
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: in an interview over the weekend that he thinks the
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Baltimore coaching staff actually did its best job last season.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Ben, What do you think well the best is you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: coop means as good as all the rest. So when
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: you say the best, he means as good as all
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the rest. I would say no. I would say no,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that is a lie by John Harbot. Otherwise he'd still
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: be coaching the Ravens next.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Jets coach Aaron Glenn announced on Sunday that Gino Smith
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: will be the team starter, saying, no doubt about it,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: He's our guy, ah Ben, assuming he stays healthy. Do
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: you think Gino stays the starter all season long?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: No?
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Hell no?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Does Aaron Glenn have a death wish? Does he want
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to go back to be a coordinator work at the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: NFL network? What are you doing? Seriously? Gino Smith is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the what is the mission statement of the Jets? He's
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: not gonna be the starter all your next.
• 32:08

• 32:13

• 32:15
  Speaker 5: do you think this is the last stop for Patino
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: in college?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I know he's not gonna get an NBA job. It
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: just seems like a good fit. He loves New York,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. He's got good players? Yes, how do
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we do?
• 32:27
