  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We are back at it. I'm told the most important
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: game of the night. Well, it depends if you're hockey fans.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Were you start with the hockey? Now it's the basketball
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and we head to Oklahoma and the side of famously
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: back in the day the dust Bowl. You know you're
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: your history. So the much ballyhooed am I supposed to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: say that much ballyhood matchup between the upper Crows of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the NBA. This is the real NBA Finals. Whoever wins
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this series is gareron teeth of winning a championship outside
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of snap crackle pop. So he had the NBA Final four,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: but really the final two because everyone's like, well these
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are the top two teams. And he got started on
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Monday night. There in the Sooner State San Antonio versus
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, round round one of the scheduled seven round
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: heavyweight matchup, not if you watch the game or not,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: despite the best laid plans of mice men and marketing
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: people and having the teams that, if you go by
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the record, say well, if you're a sports fan, you'd
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: have to watch. I don't get the sense there's a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lot of that. Am I wrong on that? I don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: think I am. These teams, despite their success, do not
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: really move the needle. But there was round one we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: watched so you would not have to. It's our good
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mist of the day. Congratulations Victor wem Banyama. He's very
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: tall and very skinny. Victor Wembanyama had forty one points
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and twenty four rebounds. I'm told that's good. Dylan Harper,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the spawn of Hollywood. Harper had twenty four points and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a partridge in a pear tree. And San Antonio with
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: wem baan Yama and Harper. Now, Harper also had a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: playoff a team playoff record for the Spurs seven steels,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: which I guess is pretty good. And so San Antonio
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: outlasting Oklahoma City one twenty two to one fifteen in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: double over time. As my old buddy Alex back in
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the day, he used to say, double over time. It's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so excaded. So that is the beginning. Isn't an instant classic,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Okay Western Conference Finals, So the jump goes to the Spurs.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Wem Ban Nyama ceiling it up. He had a pair
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of dunks in the final minute, one of them leading
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to a three point play. Also had a circuit shot
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: at the end of the first overtime, and so home
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: court advantage goes over to San Antonio. Of course, you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: imagine that Oklahoma City will win a game in Texas.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's not that difficult. Game two will be Wednesday in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, so you get the Tuesday off back at
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it there, and these Spurs have had the number of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. If you watched the broadcast, you couldn't really
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hear this because the audio was tremendously bad. Someone's losing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: their job over there at NBC. My god, you probably
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: weren't watching. With the audio on the first halfage is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sounded like robots and it just stopped all together. Anyway,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: San Antonio is beating the thunder five of the six
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: meetings this season, which seems lopsided. Oh you're being mean,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: mallor well, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: discuss the question who gets the biggest portion of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City plate of loser chicken fried steak for SGA's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thunder as the thunder down under do not get it done?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got timu, costco and eucalyptus,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we're gonna play tic tac toe is what we're gonna do.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play some tick tactoe.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So a.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We love going in the kitchen as a line cook
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and serving up a biggie sized meal for chet Holgren
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and mister MVP himself SGS. So they get the biggest
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: portion of the chicken fried steak. Congratulations. There, What a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: dynamic duo these two on this particular night. Again, we
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: have a nightly talk show to do the dynamic duo
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of doodoo on this night, Oklahoma City. If you look
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: at this game here and he said, well, what the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: double overtime? I couldn't have played that poorly. Okay, these
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: two though, the first true farm to table flop and the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: first loss of the playoffs for Oklahoma City, and nobody
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: got cooked worse than check. So let's start with him.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He gets to wear the Dunce cap. He got the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: country fried, and he also got that two sides. I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: gonna give him two sides on that combo meal, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: they're both humiliations, So a double scoop of humiliation on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the side. Now home Gren, to quote the late great
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Brian Wheeler, was bemused, bewildered, and bedeviled the three horsemen
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of the Apocalypse for Oklahoma City as they lose this
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: game here, and it was a classic Southwest airlines I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: want to get away situation there for Chet Holmgren. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you look at home Gren side by side if you're watching,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and for our blind listeners, let me try to describe this.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So you've got Homegren on the right, and then you've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: got Wemby on the left, side by side, and to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the untrained eye, home Gren looks like Wemby, except it
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's Wemby ordered off TIMU Like, if you say, can
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I let me go on, Tiamo, I want to order
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a Wemby. Okay, we'll get your Webby and they send
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you home Gren. He's kind of around the same height.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I know he's a couple of inches shorter, but he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: got none of the features. He's got none of the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: features there. And Chet in this game was useless for
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the most part. In this game, he had eight points
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: eight rebounds Homegren did completely failing to contain wem Banyama,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: who absolutely torched him with forty one points and twenty
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: four rebounds. You had as about as much impact, even
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: even didn't watch the game or know anything about the game.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You had about as much impact as Homegren did. And yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Homegrind had one block late in the end of regulation,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but uh, for the most part, it was not much.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Chet was was not really guarding Wemby. Didn't seem like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: many people were guarding Wemby here. He is kind of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: walking walking him like a a rescue greyhound if you will.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So if you do the side by side, and I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: know they didn't match up against each other the entire game,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and it's overnight talk radio, So that's a minus thirty
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: three head to head in terms of Wemby outscoring HomeGrid.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So Homegron was outscored by thirty three points and the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: rebounds minus sixteen in favor of Wemby, so that that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem good. You know, it shouldn't be mean. That
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem good. Then you have the MVP now entering
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the chat SGA, who wasn't exactly carving up the San
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. Yeah, he was doing a lot of damage
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: carving up the thunders. Chances he was a net negative
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in this game. The thunder were actually better when he
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was not on the court. He played most of the game,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but the actually statistically were better when Jogis Alexander was
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: not out there. And to the untrained, the casuals, they'll say, well,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: mald what are you talking about? You at twenty four
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: points and twelve and seas and you don't know ball? Okay,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I do know. If it takes you twenty three shots
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to get twenty four points, you're not doing your job.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Something is going wrong here, Something is going wrong. I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just saying, all right now. The basketball version of going
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to the store and there's a there's a table of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: stale bread. You pay full price for stale bread. Who play?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Who pays full price for stale bread? You shouldn't play
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: full price for that? And the other thing is you figure, well,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: she didn't play that well, but he's gonna close the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: game because he always does. You know, No, he didn't,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: he didn't do that, and left the door wide open,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the lights on, and the cash register was wide open,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: something that used to have. Now everything's on credit cards.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: They used to have these things called cash registers where
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: people kept money back when used cash back in the day.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And let's also not look past the fact that Jalen
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Williams came back to the lineup here and he was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in the lineup for okay see, and it was really blah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: another twenty five point or twenty five shot game. He
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: took twenty five shots to get twenty six points. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that was the theme of the night for Oklahoma City.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And they still went to double overtime. And all that.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The Spurs were without Deer and Fox and the Thunder
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: were rested, they were healthy, they were ready to go
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and who goofed, I've got to know. And they screwed
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that up and it wasn't a total disaster. Now they
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: got some extra work to do, all right. Meanwhile, we
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: continue the theme of the hour here and Victor wembon Yama,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: did you get your knee pads? I did not. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: everyone in the media. They've all got their Wemby knee
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: pads on. They're ready to go. And yeah, now he said. Afterwards,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he said that he was for sure motivated by SGA
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: getting the MVP instead of him. Adam Silver handed out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the award. He did not announce what part of the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: cosmos he's from, Adam Silver, but he you think that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Silver and Wemby go to like some kind of UFO
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: convention and talk about their native planets And I don't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: know anyway, So forty one points twenty four rebounds, big
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: stat line all that we've talked about that that twenty
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I think it was like twenty seven foot three point shot.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I've made that back in the day moneyball mallor I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: make that shot, No big deal. So anyway, the fawning
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to me the thing here that stood out. The guy
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: played great. The fawning is the issue here for me,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and I know it's a me problem. I realize that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to rant and rave. So the question here,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: this was a great performance by one of the the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: next beacon of the NBA. We all agree on that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: all right, every man, woman and chalking, and if we're
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: all nodding, our headges. All right, very good. So question though,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is thumbs up or thumbs down? Is this performance by
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the Spurs victor ween Banyama one that will stand the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: test of time? That meaning five ten years from now.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that night in Oklahoma when when Banyama
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: did all that stuff? Are we gonna look back at
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that and I'm going thumbs down on this? All right,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs out again. It was great and all that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just going thumbs down. Why it was game one
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of the Western Conference Finals. This is not he didn't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: find the Lost City of Babylon. It was game one, okay,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: not game seven. We don't need historians chiseling this into marble.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Let's hold off on that. There are brighter lights, bigger
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: stages ahead from when Banyama. And now that said, if
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: getting snubbed for the MVP was the reason that when
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Banyama went out and put up that stadline, then Adam
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Silver should just follow the Spurs around and hand out
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: runner up MVP plaques to win by Yama before every game,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and the Spurs will never lose again, and he'll have
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: forty and twenty five and have Wilt Chamberlain like numbers.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And that's that it was a great game. Sure, I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: don't think, and maybe I'm wrong. I know the NBC
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: broadcast quality was not that great, so it's possible that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: he did actually split the atom when the feed was
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: lost by NBC, or it's I think at halftime he
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: cured hiccups, So that was a pretty big Did that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get announced that when ba Yama cured hiccups at half? No,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it did not get announced. Interesting all right, So the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: NBA media did not actually cover the game. I determined
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: based on the feedback of my colleagues in the NBA media.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The mainstream media did not cover the game. They actually
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: wrote a love letter. It was very sweet of them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: These people have jobs at Hallmark down the line. They
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: wrote a love level, a love letter, and they sprintched it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: They put a little sprits of cologne, and then several
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of the TV people. I was shocked by this. They
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they actually gave Wemby a Swedish massage and some essential
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: oils after the game. I was very sweet of them.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: They didn't have to do that. That was very sweet
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the NBA media. My god, the brown Nosing Brigade,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: oh man, they love it right. Put them see probably women's.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You can't really put him on a pedestal. He's so
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: tall you don't need to put him on a pedestal.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: But somebody goes to Costco and buy a I want
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to buy a palette sized thing of towels because there's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of brown nosing going on in the NBA
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: media and I will not be part of it. The
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Parisian Prodigy is twenty two. He was born four years
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: after I started here at Fox Sports Radio, and I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: think there's some leftovers in my refrigerator that are older
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: than when by name. It was a great performance. The
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: coronation parade can wait for me. Yeah, the praise is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: so syrupy. I believe I need to check my insulin
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: levels at this point. It was it was really over
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the top. Now the last word the other thing, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: this is really therapeutic for me, and you happen to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: be listening to my individual therapy session. The other thing
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I took away from San Antonio and Oklahoma City in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the post game was not only the amount of a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: tongue bath that when by Yama got. In addition to that, though,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it was you would think the players in this game
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: were literally on their deathbed because it went to double overtime.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wemby played forty eight minutes over the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: total game, and I believe it was SGA that went
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: fifty one minutes. Oh my god, are we passing out
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: purple hearts to these guys? Is that what we're doing?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The question is how big a deal? How big a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: deal is the volume of minutes required to play for
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: guys like Wemby, SGA and others in this double overtime
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: thriller from Oklahoma City. So look the teams, it's gonna
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: blow your mind. So they played fifty eight total minutes
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: because each overtime's five minutes, so it's fifty eight total minutes,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: forty eight regulation, ten total overtime, two five minute periods.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So they didn't play fifty eight days. They played fifty
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: eight minutes. A shocking And are we really pretending that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: fifty eight minutes of basketball is some kind of humanitarian crisis?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Do we need to call the federal government in here?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Do we need to get FEMA involved in this, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: National Guard, call somebody in here and help out Oklahoma City.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, it's like it's all my goodness
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and the game lasted. The actual in real time it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was like three hours three hours. So my computer like
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: brain tells me that if the game lasted in real
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: time three hours from when they started to when it ended,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that would mean they had, if I'm correct, here, one
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two minutes roughly of not playing basketball
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: something like that, and fifty eight minutes where they play.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And in those fifty eight minutes there were a lot
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of timeouts, TV timeouts, foul shooting, all that stuff. So, okay,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think this was a death sentence. It might
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have been, I don't think it was. It was a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: cardio session with cameras TV cameras, and pretty confident that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Wemby and SGA. We did not send them to some
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: kind of North Korean labor camp outside Pyongyang. We didn't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: do that. They weren't making bigger rocks into smaller rocks.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That did not happen. I think at one point SGA
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: did have to drag a boulder up a mountain. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: might have been imagining that for the state, but last
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I checked out. I mean, maybe I'm wrong on this,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: but I think they're all most of these almost all
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of them are in their twenties. A lot of them
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: are in their early twenties. They're well paid. They're not
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: long shortman, they're not coal miners. They're just basketball players.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: They play three or three games a week. If they
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: play four, they bitch about it. If they play five,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they should retire. They are so worn out. So it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a very difficult job. So feel bad for them having
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to play a double overtime game in the playoffs. And
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're they're sleeping in the airport terminal.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's going on. I don't believe they're
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: eating those white Castle vending machine burgers. I don't think
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that's happening. And I think what's going to happen here
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is these guys will be escorted to cryo chambers. They
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: will be handed a trip to a steam room with
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: eucalyptus steam to help them recover. They'll have that and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: their personal chefs will cook up a nice feast, so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to quote Aaron Rodgers, Relax. Relax. Both teams played the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: same amount of minutes. I don't think anyone's going to die.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Everything will be okay, and it's I think it's supposed
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to be hard, at least see this is the problem.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I guess I'm older because I always
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: was told that it's supposed to be hard. That's why
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they call it the playoffs nowadays, two oh byyd you losers.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So we get back to our Russel football talk. The
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: basketball was compelling for about ten minutes last hour. We
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: had to get a conversation with Van the one leg
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of Bama man in Texas, Jack, and there were some
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: other guys on hold that we wanted to talk to,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: but they hung up. So we'll move on and our
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: lead this hour from the Bayou. We go to the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Bayou and they said, well, there's no NFL news, it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: mid May. What are you talking about. Well, yes there is. Yes,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: there is a team that in my lifetime has only
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: had about three or four good years and the rest
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the time they've been an absolute embarrassment. That would
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: be the football team that plays in Nollins. So the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, who is a tenured professor,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: he has lifetime employment there in New Orleans. So Mickey
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Loomis said that the football team there, the Saints are
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: quote trying to see how running back Alvin Kamara will
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: fit on the roster in twenty two twenty six. If
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you heard this or not, maybe not so Loomis speaking
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to the Beat writers, what a great job that must be.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Decline to commit on whether or not to keep Alvin
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Kamara on the roster for the upcoming season. It would
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: appear there is no room for Kamarrow, who's in his
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: early thirties year and he will turn thirty one in July.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: He is expected to lose most of his status on
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans depth chart behind the big pickup this offseason,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Travis a Chan formerly ETN Travis a Chan and the Saints.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. The Saints are reportedly interested in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: quote adjusting quos quote. The salary cap number for Alvin
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Kamarrow is gonna make like ten million dollars if they
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: do decide to keep him. So that is a good
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Can you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: decode the message that the GM Mickey Loomis is sending
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: when he says they are trying to see about running
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: back Alvin Kamara and his future in New Orleans. So
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my observations, I've got iPhone, avocados and court summons, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these together, and we are
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: going to go round and round and round and round
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and round and round. The merry go round, all right,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: So number wa number Mickey Loomis gave the oldest answer
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: in the NFL Book of Answers, the hesitation answer. If
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you look at your handbook and you're you're smart, you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: pay attention to this stuff, the hesitation answer. And when
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a general manager pauses before talking about a star player,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the decision has already been made. It is set in stone,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: it's already been made. Mickey Loomis saying, we're trying to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: see how he fits. Is some hr badunkadunk is what
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: it is here, uh for he doesn't fit on the team.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: We've already moved on. We're just waiting and seeing if
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: someone's dumb enough to make a trade to acquire him.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It's classic corporate America bullcrap meeting the NFL world. There,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you're still part of our family. Once a saint, always
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a saint, all that stuff. And of course they've already
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: brought in your replacement. They've trained your replacement, and he's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: sitting at your desk. So good luck on that. The
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Saints bringing in Travis a chant. He's there, and that's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the replacement who's now entered the chat. He's the guy
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be the featured running back for the New
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Orleans football team. And Kamara at this point, he's like
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the the iPhone you used to have, you know, the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: old iPhone. You have that junk drawer, and you toss
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it in the junk drawer just in case, just in case.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I'm never gonna use that again, but just in case
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll need it for something. Is it useful? What's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: your definition of useful? Is Alvin Kamara still respected? Absolutely? Absolutely?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Why not? However, nobody in New Orleans is saying, well,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we got to have this guy's our future back. We're
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not gonna build. We're not building around this guy. That's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: not going to happen. And so now he prepares for
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the portal, the NFL transfer portal. Mickey Loomis is the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: ride operator, and so he's at the controls there, the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Saints general manager, and he's waving bye bye, as Dick
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and Dayton would say, well, Alvin Kamara is still checking
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the lap bar to make sure that he does not
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: get ejected from the roller coaster that is the transfer portal.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So he is a luxury car, Alvin Kamara, He's got
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: about a ninety thousand miles on the odometer, a lot
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of miles. They're still smooth, still looks pretty good on
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the outside. The dealership, though, has already ordered next year's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: model and they're clearing out the show and you're on
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the showroom floor. So it's a bit of a problem
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: now keeping the beat going here, keeping the drum beat going.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Page two. So the question if the Saints actually do this,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and all indications are they're going to do this, if
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: they finally pull the ripcord, pull the rip cord on
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, where does he land? All right? Where does
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: he land? So? Time to dust off? What every good
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: talk show host needs a crystal ball, Bennie's crystal ball.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: What does Benny's crystal ball say? Says? If the Saints
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: move off Alvin Kamara, and the crystal ball is never wrong. Uh,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: there's only one place that checks every box, every box.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: You know what that is the Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You've got his buddy as the coach, Sean Payton, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you've got a team that believes they are ascending and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: would have could have should have gotten to the Super Bowl,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: except our quarter got hurt and all that stuff. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: so you've got that set up there in Denver, and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it's it's the obvious answer, head and shoulders above everyone else.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: If Alvin Kamara changes teams, the Broncos are the team
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that makes the most sense. It's the most obvious answer.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like why even bother saying because so obvious there,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Denver is not a guest, it's a relationship play. You
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: got Sean Payton who knows Alvin Kamara better than anyone.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It's not what you know, it's who you know. The
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: key to life, it's who you know. And Kamara knows
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the guy who is the guy for the Broncos, who
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: made him the guy in New Orleans back in the day.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And so the chosen one from many years ago returns
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: to the coach who helped get him to where he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: is in the NFL. Elsewhere you look around the Seattle Seahawks,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I know guys like JJN Renton and Nostredinas don't want
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to admit it. The Seahawks, though, got cheap. They didn't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: want to bring back the Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He bolted to Canzah City, so Kenneth Walker's out, so
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that's not an option. That's an option for kamaraw They
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: didn't really replace Kenneth Walker with anybody who's any good,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So I guess they're gonna try out to run the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: ball there in Seattle this year. And then you've got
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville because that would just be obvious because the Jags
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: didn't replace Travis h Chan who's now in New Orleans,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and so he could do the old flipper rou and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: then Alvin Kamara can go over there the issue and
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in many ways, the Komodo dragon in the room here,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the Komodo Dragon room is that Alvin Kamara. As we said,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be thirty one here soon. And running backs.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: In my life, running backs have aged with few exceptions,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: like avocados, the avocado, the most expensive fruit out there.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: The avocado and the avocado, as you know, they're perfect
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: one day and the very next day you're making guacamoldi
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: with the avocado. That's what you're doing there. The question
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: isn't whether Alvin Kamara can still play the question is
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: how much impact can he have, Like he'll play somewhere
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: if he wants to in the NFL. He's not gonna
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: be in New Orleans. How much does he have left?
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Is he a part time player at this point? Occasionally
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they'll have a couple of breakthrough games. Is that what
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get? I would say most likely that's the case.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: If I was betting with house money, That's how I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: would bet. Now, final point, we have the single lamest
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback contract snafu in recent history. We take you to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the Valley of Sun. By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: are not trying to win their tanking. They are tanking
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: hoping to get the Manning prodigy, the next big thing
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in the Manning chain. I'm sure Archie Manning would love
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: for arch the grandson to go out and play in Arizona. Anyway,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: bring this up because we've learned that quarterback Jacoby Brissett,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the guy that's been a stiff for a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: decade in the NFL, Jacoby Brissett, he has skipped out
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the start of the Cardinals voluntary OTAs he ain't. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: ain't doing that. I'm out now. This comes after it
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: was reported last week that the team informed Jacoby Brissett
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that he would be the QB number one starting quarterback
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: for the Arizona football team, and his first act was,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I ain't shown up, man. I know it's voluntary. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: ain't shown up, though, and so you'd assume that he's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: it's somewhat valuable. What do I know for the starting
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: quarterback to be there if you're trying to win games?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Of course they're not. Per Set is thirty three years old,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and he is staying away from the team facility out
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution and an abundance of wanting
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: more money. You would like a nice pay raise. Companies
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: still give pay raises out I don't know. I don't
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: think they do it. Not a lot I know of,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: but apparently, like it's in the NFL, they do sometimes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So the question what stands out to you about Jacoby
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Brissette ghosting the Cardinals voluntary? OTAs what stands out to you? So,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: first of all, I love the Hutzba with a capital sea.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I truly do love the Hutsba. And I'm fascinated. I'm
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: not wired this way. I'm fascinated when people in life
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: are so clueless to where they are that they do
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: things like this. It fascinates me. It really does. Only
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in today's NFL does a thirty three year old garbage
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: at best bridge quarterback bridge to nowhere by the way,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: bridge to nowhere, coming off a season where he started
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: twelve games and went one and eleven with the Cardinals, decide,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: not only am I underpaid, I am going to put
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: pressure on the team to pay me. More like in
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the old days, if you went one to eleven, you'd
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: be lucky. You just had a job in the NFL
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have to get a real job. So
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Arizona is clearly embracing the suck man are they embracing
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the suck? And that is why they picked Jacoby Brissett
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: in the first place, because we know he's not gonna
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: be the quarterback all year. That's that's not gonna happen.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And apparently the bar in the desert is so subterranean,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it is so subterranean that yet they're still finding ways
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to trip over. It's wild. It is wild crazy. So
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, again, just to recap, the Cardinals told Jacoby Brissett,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: you are QB one, and he responded with the enthusiasm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of someone who just got a court summons for jury duty.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: That was the level of excitement that Jacoby Brissette had
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: there his first leadership act as the newly minted starter.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Is what it's like, Hey, I'll lead from home. Is
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: he trying to do this on zoom back like during
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. I want to be the NFL's first zoom quarterback.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm going to do, zoom zoom, just like that.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: It's a classic case of leverage delusion, delusion. Leverage delusion.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You don't usually get a massive raise after driving the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: team bus into the middle of the lake, right off
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the bridge. You don't normally get a massive race. But
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: what do I know? There's a sound right there that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: de Bursett wants. I guess he wants starter money. Okay,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you can ask for it. What exactly is he giving
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the team emotional support? Is that what he's giving the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Cardinals airs? If I ran the Cardinals and they're obviously
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: not trying to win, look at the roster blows. What
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: they ought to do is they had to have a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: raffle among season ticket holders and they'd get about the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: same production. It wouldn't be much worse. It wouldn't be
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: much worse let's have a raffle. How would you like
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals? Why not?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: What the hell? So we'll see how this plays out.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: But it's again, I am I am jealous that you
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: can be that ub touse, that Jacobe Prissett not realizing
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: his place in the football universe and thinking he actually
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: has some kind of power. It's very impressive. Yeah, really good.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go. Here it's Maller. How
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: To the third degree.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Of this basketball one gets grilled.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: The La Rams have tied a record with seven primetime
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: games this upcoming season. Have been your fandom aside? Do
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: you think that they are the team that the nation
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: as a whole wants to see the most? They are
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the team kooperloop the television once. They've got the sexy coach.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: They've got the MVP quarterback, they got Puka Nakula. They're
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: an exciting team and you can ram it all. You
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: can ram it all night. So TV's the one that
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: decides who gets these games, and TV wants the Rams,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: so that's all that matters.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Next, former Blazers head coached Terry Stotts wants his job back.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: His agent has reached out to the team, and Stotts
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: himself confirmed to a reporter that he would love to
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: come back to Portland. Then do you think bringing stats
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: back is a good idea for the Trailblazers.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Well, by all accounts, I don't know this guy. I
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: keep reading stories. The owner of the Trailblazers is a tightwad,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and Terry Stotts coached the Trailblazers for a number of years.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: He had some success there in Portland, and it's about
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the only job he's going to get at this point
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: at his age. So, like you know, he wants to
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: be a head coach. Again, that's about the only job
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he's qualified for. Is it a good idea? Well, he'll
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: work cheap, so sure.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Next, Anthony Edwards was asked how much work the team
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: needs to catch up in the Western Conference and contend Again,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Edwards said, I don't know, man, I think that I
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: don't think that's a question for me.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Then do you think ant is not long from Minnesota?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Well, by all account he's from Georgia. He wears all
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves stuff and all that if he if
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: he had it was up to him, he'd be playing
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Hawks. And he doesn't seem like he's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he's really raising a hullaballoo trying to get out of there.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, you gotta think that once Giannis and at To
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Koombo goes from Milwaukee to wherever, he's gonna end up.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Like at some point it'll be Aunt Edwards has to
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: go play for a better team. He's stuck in minute.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: You know this, It's the circle of life in the NBA.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: These guys after a certain number of years, they demand
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that they get traded. At this point, I don't think
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: anytime soon he's gonna leave. The next couple of years
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: will be with the Timberwls. How do we go? You passed?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: That's the way I fight the game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I fight the get. Fox Sports Radio has the best
• 33:42
