  Speaker 1: It's our number four. Our number four. Ready to go.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And here in our number four, it is the controversy
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of the day in pro football. The NFL clearing the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Eagles of allowing Jalen Hurts to play after being diagnosed
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with blood clots. A condition, if you look online, says
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: could kill you. What is your take on what's going
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: on here as the NFL said, oh, no, the Eagles
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: did everything properly. Also, who do you believe, the NFL
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: medical chief defending the Eagles or the players union demanding
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a full and thorough investigation of what happened with Jalen Hurts?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And what do you make of the leak? That's bouncing
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: around the echo chamber, linking Anthony Richardson, the guy that
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: can't play for the Colts, to Philadelphia as a temporary
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: replacement for Jalen Hurts, who's out for the season with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: blood clots. We'll talk about all that and more right now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Settle in, have some snacks. It's our number four, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it's all yours here. Enjoy your Wednesday. Well, it turns
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out it's not just an NFL quarterback that's got the hurts.

• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Ball began on Tuesday. We've met our quota. Our allotment
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of time, we've actually gone over the amount of time
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: talking basketball, so we've moved on. If you want to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: hear the rant and rave about the LeBron era beginning
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and the Sixers and Knicks game, we did a good
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: chunk on that. To begin the festivities, it'll be up
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on the Ben Maller Show podcast. A little bit later,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Celtic choke job. Epic fail by the Celtics. They
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: had a 22-point lead, up 72-50. About four minutes into
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the third quarter, and from that point forward, the once-proud
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Boston Celtics got absolutely smoked to close the game. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: so they end up losing that. Paul George, Jason Tatum.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: George had a big stat line, did not play well
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that final 30 minutes or so, or 30 minutes, final
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes of the game, and Jason Tatum was equally bad.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But that is not our story here. Our lead this
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: hour from Philadelphia. where it was quite the day for
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the aristocrats of the NFL. We learned the National Football
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: League will not punish the Eagles for reportedly allowing Jalen
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Hurts to play in an NFL game in London despite
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: being diagnosed with a blood clot. They ruled that no
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: injury reporting violations took place, even though this was not...
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: available on the injury report. It was not announced prior
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to the game the details on what had happened. So
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, perhaps not. Jalen Hurts, who
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is in his late 20s, attempted 40 passes against the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: London Jaguars after doctors discovered a calf clot. That was
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in London. After that, they say he developed multiple lung
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: clots and is going to miss the rest of the season.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Someone named Alan Sills, I have no idea who that is,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: apparently he's a doctor, the NFL medical chief. How much
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: do you think this guy gets paid? What do you think?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Alan Sills, you're the chief of medical operations for the NFL. Anyway,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he was asked about this at the, I believe this
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: was at the NFL owners meetings. He dismissed, he dismissed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the outside pressure. Well, rather than me just read you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of quotes, let's go to the audio tape.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Here is the head of NFL medicine. commenting on how
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was allowed to play in the game with
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: blood clots. Let's hear.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I have tremendous confidence in the Philadelphia Eagles medical staff
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and all of our medical staff, meaning that our teams
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: secure the rights and the services of the best of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the best physicians.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: In their markets.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And they employ an army of consultants as well to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: help them in all the medical decision making. And so
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the league, It's not our job to go in and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: tell them how to practice medicine. It's our job to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: support them and to administer the jointly bargaining protocols that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: we do have. But as Jeff said, I share his
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: pride in the men and women who serve in those roles.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Our first obligation as team physicians is always and ever
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: will be to the patient to do the right thing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Because that's what we're licensed to do. That's our standard
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of care. That's the standard we're held to. That's the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: standard we're licensed to. That's the oath that we pledge.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And that's what happens.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And so any idea or any suggestion that a team
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: physician is ever being influenced by a coach, a general manager,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a team owner, it just doesn't happen. I can't speak
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to what happened in the dark ages when Jeff started
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: working for the league.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you in.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: My 30 years in sports medicine and.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Today, there is no doctor who is taking orders from
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a football person, a non-medical person, period.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: All right, so I grade that, the quality of that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: soundbite was terrible, but I graded a B.C. as in bullcrap. Anyway,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that is Alan Sills. He dismissed, I don't know how
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: much of that you could hear. I'm wearing headphones. He
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: dismissed the outside pressure called the allegations being made against
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the Eagles medical staff nonsense, said the treatment was very
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: conservative and was, quote, patient-focused. Now, you might remember Nick
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Sirianni was put on the hot seat and pretty much drowned.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It was very embarrassing. He did try to defend the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: team doctors, Nick Sirianni. And Jalen Hurts facing months and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: months of being on blood thinners and some big-time questions
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: being tossed around, bandied about, at the NFL's player safety questions.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I do love the fact, oh, yeah, for 30 years,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: no doctor's ever been influenced by a team coach.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Ridiculous.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous. All right, here's the question. So the NFL immediately
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: cleared the Philadelphia Eagles of allowing Jalen Hurts to play
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: after being diagnosed with blood clots. What is your take
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: on what's going on here? It is a hot stew
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I've got Wicked Witch of the West, Gatorade,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and Succulent. And we will combine all of these things together.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And we are going to be in a quandary because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to enjoy the baba ghanoush and the gabagool
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and the jambalaya. There's a rumor, I know Benjamin is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: going to like this, that Lorena had some jambalaya. that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: she might have consumed some jambalaya.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Delicious.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And she enjoyed the jambalaya. All right, so first of all,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL, one thing I've learned over the years, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's probably the only thing, the NFL is not in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the truth business. Not in the truth business. They're in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: reputation management is what they're in. And there is a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: big difference here. And protect the shield, protect the revenue, right?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. This investigation was over pretty quick.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: In fact, I would say it was like kind of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the amount of time it took for the NFL, the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: story to come out and the NFL to put the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: kibosh on the story. You would not have had enough
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: time to heat up a microwave burrito that it was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that quick. It was that quick. And so the NFL
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: went to the museum. And they found the Wicked Witch
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of the West. Remember that broomstick? And swept this entire
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: controversy under the rug with the Wicked Witch of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: West broomstick and just got rid of it. They did
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: not even bother... to lift the furniture that the league
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: concluded that because of paperwork essentially that was filed properly
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: filled out correctly everything was the T's were crossed the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I's were dotted there's nothing else to discuss how convenient
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: is that? So the NFL investigated their favorite medical system
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and found zero wrongdoing with their favorite medical system. What
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: are the odds? So we are at the part of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the story now where this is a CYB situation. Cover...
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Your booty. Cover your booty. It's the NFL's unofficial medical
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: protocol is what it is. A self-cleaning oven where safety,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in this case player safety, is priority number one. Priority
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: number one. Which is right behind avoiding lawsuits and uncomfortable
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: questions from idiot media people. All right. Now, secondly, keeping
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the beat going. So I love how the NFL comes
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: out and says, listen, we looked at this. We're all good.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: We love our doctors. They're upstanding people. Not a single
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: one is crooked. We love them all. And then the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: NFL Players Association, within a couple of hours, they responded
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: by demanding a full investigation into the Eagles medical treatment
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts. The union claims the NFL previously said
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it had no plans, no plans to review the case.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So you juxtapose the big shot weasel in charge of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: NFL medicine saying, oh, yeah, very arrogantly. Oh, we have
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the greatest doctors, this blah, blah, blah, blah. Everything's wonderful.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Everything's great. And then the union says we need a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: full investigation.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So who do you believe? You make the call. Here's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the question. Do you believe the NFL medical chief defending
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the E-A-G-L-E-S bad doctors or the players union demanding a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: full investigation? So after a minutes-long, minutes-long mallard deliberation of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the available information, we are siding with.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The union on this one. Now, that does not mean
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that the Philadelphia medical staff is guilty. How the hell
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: would I know? They might be completely innocent. And it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: just bad timing. The bad timing award where Jalen Hurts
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: had this problem. And then the medical stuff said, well,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you can play. You're not going to risk your health.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And then it turned out either something was wrong with
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the diagnosis or the diagnosis changed. That is possible. But
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL acting as the defense attorney for the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: certainly helping their, it's not helping the credibility problem. It's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: making it worse, it would appear. And so the league
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: should not be allowed, should not be allowed to investigate
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: itself in the mirror and then declare everything is kosher.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Because obviously something's not right here. And listen, obviously I'm
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: an overnight talk radio host. I'm not a I'm not
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a doctor. I can play one on the radio. What
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: is that? The blood doctors that hematologist, I believe, is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that I believe that's right. Hematologist. I think I'm I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: think I'm right on that. And I mean, this biology,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it was a nightmare for me in high school. Barely
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: got out of high school biology. However, even I know
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with my rudimentary education, I'm a doctor. I am on
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the radio genie, the ghost of genie in Medford. But
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but even I know blood clots are not something you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: futz around with. You just don't ignore blood clots. You
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: don't treat them with a frost glacier freeze Gatorade and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: some orange slices and say you're fine. In fact, one
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of our old. Board Ops, the late, great Frank Pollock.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: May he rest in peace. One of my friends here
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio, he died all of a sudden.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He had blood clots. He was a middle-aged guy. He
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: was playing hockey on the weekends. And Frank, if you've
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: been with the show a long time, we call them
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the big codpiece. He was part of the Compton Fishing Club,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: which is hilarious. Frank, a middle-aged white dude, was on
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the Compton. There's a big fishing thing in Compton. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he was part of that. Anyway, Frank died suddenly of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: blood clots. And so anytime I see a story about
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: blood clots, I think of Frank's memory and losing Frank
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: suddenly and all of that. And to think that Jalen
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Hurts went out and played a game with blood clots
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and knew that he had blood clots is wild to me.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: The NFL claims everything was handled properly and everything's great
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and just wonderful and all that stuff. And, of course,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if that's the case, I think it's fair to say
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that if the NFL is being truthful, an independent investigation
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: should be an absolute cakewalk. A walk in the park,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to see here. The Eagles did everything right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: The doctors did everything right. Just open up the books.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That's it. What is everyone afraid of? I don't know.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: All right. Final thought to the birds quarterback room, a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: very depressing place, very depressing place. And so the Eagles
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: are at a fork in the road. They're in an
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: absolute dog food division. The NFC East is embarrassing. It's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a joke of a division. These teams, they all suck.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And the ones that don't suck blow. They're terrible, right?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: There she blows, the NFC East. It's like a NFC
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: South or AFC South type situation. Just a bad division.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Bad division. Bad to the bone. So the Eagles have
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a decision. They still have a really good chance to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Because someone's going to win the division
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and make the playoffs. And you could probably make the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: playoffs the way things are going with around 500. No
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: one's going to be 500 unless you have a tie,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: which we have had. The Giants and the Washington Old
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Redskins tied. So we have a tie. However, more likely
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: than not, just around 500, you're going to be in
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: good shape. So the Eagles have to decide. Do they
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: want to just throw away a season? Or the other
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: option is, OK, we're in it. We're going to go
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: for it. Let's do it. Let's make it happen. And
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Tanner McKee is not the answer for me. He cannot
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: rescue the Philadelphia football season. So the Eagles offense has
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: popcorn problems. They're popping up everywhere. Little kernels popping up
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: just about everywhere. And it's not just Jalen Hurts. Jalen
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: was not playing all that well, but it's more than that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And so Tanner McKee looks like someone that, as a quarterback,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: should be selling insurance. It's not good. And he does
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: not have mobility, and the lack of mobility is compounded
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: by a rather weak arm. Other than that, he's a
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: hell of a nice man. You toss in some bad
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: blocking and penalties and the running game not really working,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's a hot stew. Now, one of the popular whispers
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: going around suggests that Philadelphia... should explore picking up Indianapolis
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: quarterback Anthony Richardson. Yeah, that guy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: All right, so the question, what do you make of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the story that's been leaked and is bouncing around the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: chatter mill about Anthony Richardson of the Colts ending up
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia? Trade deadline is in a few weeks, early
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: next month. So my first question, and this is the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: first question any somewhat intelligent person would would ask and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: should ask when you hear the story about this Anthony
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Richardson being connected to Philadelphia. It's a simple question. Who
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: benefits from the leak? We're trying to figure out who
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: leaked the story. Well, it wouldn't be Indianapolis, right? You
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: wouldn't think the Colts would benefit much from this. What
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: do they care? Really wouldn't be Philadelphia, because that's embarrassing
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that you'd be tied to Anthony Richardson. So using the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: time-tested process of elimination, we're going to go with the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: agent of the quarterback. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Whose career,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, at this point is on life support, his
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: NFL career. At some point here, he's going to hope
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or the BC Lions,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: possibly the Edmonton Elks, which should be the Eskimos in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the Canadian Football League. This entire story is what we
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: call a succulent story. It is a succulent story. Now,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? More likely than not, it came
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: directly from the Home Depot Garden Center. Ergo, it should
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have come with some fertilizer, this particular Anthony Richardson story.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: It's a total houseplant, meaning a plant that was placed
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: by someone representing Anthony Richardson using a useful idiot in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the media. It's like, let me slip that into the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: punch bowl and see what happens. I'll slip that in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: right there. And Richardson has all the physical tools. That's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: why he was drafted so high. Unfortunately, he has no
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: idea how to use them, and that's it. And Philadelphia
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: needs someone who can actually make some play. They don't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: need a great quarterback, because Jalen Hurts wasn't a great quarterback.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: They just need somebody who's an adult who can get
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the job done somewhat. Now, the other chatter is about
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. Minshew, who played for the Eagles as a backup,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: so that's more realistic. But the Anthony Richardson thing, it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: just amazing. He's a restoration project. from this old house.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: He's even not that old, but it's it's that kind
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: of thing. And so there's a fundamental difference clearly from
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: processing on the field and not being able to process and,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and having tremendous physical gifts from the gods or your parents.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And then knowing how to actually put all that together.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's like getting a box of Legos and then, okay,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I've got to put these Legos together. Well, I don't
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: have the instructions. Okay, well, I'll just try to make it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You need the instructions. You need to have the instructions.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And you don't trade for a guy because he looks
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: like Hercules getting off the bus. You trade for someone
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: who can complete a forward pass. And remember, until something
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: trumps what has happened, Anthony Richardson's claim to fame is quitting.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Giving up during a game that I can't play anymore.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I'm done.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Take me out, coach. I'm not ready to play. It
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maler show. And there is a story developing.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I did not include it in the monologue. It's a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: story that's kind of bouncing around here overnight. I have
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a feeling this is going to be the story of
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the day in the NFL. And it is a humdinger,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: if it's true. Big scandal involving weapons. Involving weapons. And
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: an NFL player... bubbling up we'll tell you what we
• 21:11

  Speaker 1: developing in the overnight. I love when crap happens overnight.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: All those daytime people. They don't have it first. We
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have it. It's a good story. Seems to be on

  Speaker 1: not recommend that if you're driving. Someone that did more
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: PSAs than anyone in radio back in the day. They'll
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: see you before you see them. Yeah. Say hello on X.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What if they're on their phone, too? That's a good point.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I've seen it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Do they still write tickets for being on your phone
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: at stop signs? I don't know anyone that isn't on
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: their phone. I know you're not legally supposed to do it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Where do you go? I think this is actually good, though.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: My theory is, so Mallor theory. Because sometimes people would
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: jump signals and they'd get in accidents because somebody would
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: run through a red light. But now everything's delayed because
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: everyone's got to put their phone down before they start driving.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: So in some ways it might actually make driving safer. Now,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be on your phone while you're actually doing
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the driving part, but if you stop.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Say hello on X, Ben Maller. Lorena is the FSR
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: tech queen. It's her birthday week. What kind of? Yeah, big.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Birthday gala. And Koopaloop, at all Bronco fan, he is
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a Bo Nix truther. Koopaloop, a Bo Nix truther. He's
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: going to die on Bo Nix Mountain. A Bo-lever, if
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: you will. A Bo-lever, yes.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Back to it. Well, a humdinger of a story we'll
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: give you in a minute here. Let's say hello to 2% Chance.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody emailed me this week and said, what happened to 2% Chance?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He doesn't call the show anymore. I said, I don't know.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not his mother. What's up, 2% Chance? Welcome.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Man, I do what I can, man.
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: It's hard out here, you know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I never did tell you this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: I'm a single dad, man. I got two kids.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. Boy, girl, or both?
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: I got a son who's 18, about to turn 18,
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: and a daughter who is 12.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing the daughter's a handful. Well, actually, boys at
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: 18 are probably a-holes, too, so you're screwed.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: Well, actually, my son's great, and they're both great, man.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: I can't complain one bit.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you could complain. You know, if you want to,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you can complain, but, you know.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: You know, I'll complain about one thing, man. I'll complain
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: about my Alabama Crimson Tide. They suck, and that's all
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: I'm going to say about that. But, you know, I
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: don't understand this Jalen Hurst thing. Did they not discover–
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: they discovered it before the game, right? The blood clots
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: before the game, is that correct?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Well, from what I've read, they knew that he had
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a blood clot thing. It wasn't announced on the Friday
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: before the game in the injury report from what I read,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and then– There's two versions. One version, which is going
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: full deep state, is like somebody knew something. They let
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: him play. They needed him to play. It was a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: showcase game for the NFL, an island game early morning
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: for America. So they wanted him to play in the game,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: so they kind of encouraged him to play. The other
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: is that his situation changed, and it does happen, right?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We've all gone to doctors over the years, and we've
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: had relatives that have been sick, and then something changed.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So there's two different versions. Depends what you want to believe.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: Well, they got to figure this out, man. That dude,
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: he risked his life. If they knew he had a
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: book on, they let him play. They got to... The
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: NFL's got to do something. They'll never be took seriously again.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they will. Come on. There have been crazy
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: things that have happened. People forget about it and move on.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. As long as he didn't actually die,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: which he didn't. Can you imagine if he had on
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the field? Oh, my gosh. That would have been wild. No, no, no, no, no.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: That would have, yeah.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: That happens. Blood clots, man. No, I know, but I mean...
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Silent killer. If that happens, do they... Do they continue
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the season? They do, right? They miss a week. How
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: about that? I think that's what it would be, honestly.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: It's kind of dark, but they have... Remember when I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: was around the baseball team back in the day, all
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the leagues have, and it's kind of known now, but
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: they all have contingency plans for In case like a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: plane goes down and they lose a whole team or something.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: They have all that stuff in the bylaws. They don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: like to talk about it for obvious reasons. I don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: know what they have. What is the contingency plan? If
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a team plane crashes, there's like an expansion draft, basically.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: They restock the team. Oh, wow. Yeah. Everyone's replaceable. It's
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: rather dark, isn't it? Yeah.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't know why we're going there. Why are
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: we going there, Chance? Why are we doing that?
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: Hey, I was shocked. I was shocked when DeMar Hamlin,
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: you know, he died on the field for a minute.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: I was shocked they canceled the game, man. I can't
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: believe the NFL did that. I applauded them for that. But, yeah,
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: I don't want to go there either, man.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, man, I appreciate it. We
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Call more often. We love you. When you can.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I know you've got two kids, but when you can,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: give us a buzzer, right?
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, y'all have a great night.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Thank y'all.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: All right, this is a wild story. This is going
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to be a Netflix documentary, and it's not in the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: mainstream yet. I love stuff like this when it's not
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the mainstream, because all you daytime people love to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: brag about, oh, I work during the day, and I
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: get all the stories. So Dateline Nashville, it is not
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: being reported yet by the mainstream media. So the Titans
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott. There was some kind of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: confrontation about a week ago. with a teammate. Happened at practice. Well,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: now in the overnight, we're apparently getting the rest of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the story. It's not being reported by Adam Schefter or
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: any of the other insiders, the usual insiders who are
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: most of these guys in bed with the NFL. It's
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: being reported by A to Z sports. And I want
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to make sure this is not my report. This is
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: not me. Don't sue me. But no. So the story is,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: according to this sports blog, Jordan Elliott, the guy that
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: got fired by the Tennessee Titans, Jordan Elliott stormed out
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of the locker room and was not happy, got into
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a beef with a teammate. He left the locker room,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: went to the parking lot, and went to his car,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and instead of driving away, he grabbed a firearm.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: No. Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: He grabbed, I guess, a gun from the vehicle, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: then went back to, you know, take care of business.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: He pulled a Javaris Crittenton? Yeah, Agent Zero, right? Remember
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Agent Zero? Yeah, yeah, Gilberinas. Gilberinas and the Washington Wizards.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And so they were able, somebody was able to defuse
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the situation and No shots were fired. The Nashville Police
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Department confirmed that no reports were made. were officially filed.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And the team did not even contact the police in Nashville.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And Elliott was one of Robert Sala's guys. He was
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: with San Francisco, joined Sala in Nashville. And this guy
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: cost himself millions of dollars. He signed... An $ 8 million
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: deal and only played five games. And so that's that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens today. I would imagine this will
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: become a bigger story once the sun comes up. NFL
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: player goes to get gun out of the locker room
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: or out of the car and comes back to settle
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: some business. That's a problem. That'll be a good Netflix docuseries, though,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: won't it? Behind the scenes. You know Netflix does love
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: their docuseries. Oh, they love it. I watched a few
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: on the plane.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: It was good.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. So we'll see what happens. That's a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: wild story, though. That is a wacky, wacky story. Did
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you watch the Tyson one? I did. I did. So
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: did I. I liked it. I thought it was good, too.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Tyson had a problem with it, right? He complained. Did
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: he have a problem with it? Did he?
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: No, no. I was confusing that... Oh, Mr. T.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Mr.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: T had a problem. I thought the Mr. T one
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was good, too.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: The Tyson's fine. It's good.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones. Keep an eye
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: on that story out of Nashville. We'll see what the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: big mainstream guys that are in bed with the NFL,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: how they handle that. I'm sure that'll be a spin
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: job for the ages. Let's say hello to Squirrely D,
• 31:10
