• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And good to have you back with us here as
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we hang out in the Magic radio box.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: In our lead this.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Hour, shake up in South Florida as the Miami Dolphins
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: have decided to unload a bunch of players. A bunch
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of players are gone, and then the big name here
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that Dolphins have fired wide receiver Tyreekill. Now, in sports,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: they don't use the word fired, except about coaches. But
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: when you get rid of a player who was under contract,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you fired the player, laid him off.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Well he's gone, Tyreek Hill.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: A flurry of roster moves, So I dam if you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: saw any of this or not, perhaps not. The player
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: affectionately known as the Cheetah was given the pink slip
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and he was not alone. Also sacrifice. Former Pro Bowl
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: linebacker Bradley Chubb was informed his services are no longer needed,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: although it will not happen immediately. Dolphins also said bye
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: bye to one of their offensive linemen and another wide
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: receiver you've never heard of. And the Dolphins are claiming
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that they made all of these moves to clear salary
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: cap space. Now, you and I both know that is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: bull crap. That is absolute bull crap.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Now, in a.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Post on the Graham the aforementioned the social media post
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: from Tyreek Hill, he fanked the Miami Dolphins, his teammates,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and the fans. He also vowed that his career will continue. Okay,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: good jumping off points. So let us discuss the question
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: how much value? How much value does former now former
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill have on the open.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Free agent market? So how much value does Tyreek Hill
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: have on this?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: My thoughts, I've got the I've got the Instagram model, merch, madness,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and good humor, and we will combine all of these
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: things together and try not to get behind schedule. We're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gonna try to stay on schedule and then we'll make
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: up astromi hogi is what we're gonna make so a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, how much value does Tyreek Hill have on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the open market? Well, tyreek Hill, he still sounds the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: name sounds like a premium brand. Like guys like me
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: who do gas baggery talk about Tyreek Hill because we've
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: heard of him.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: People know who he is.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It's broadcasting, it's not narrow casting, and so that has
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit of bound to it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The name still sounds pretty good. However, if you look
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit deeper below the surface the tyreek Hill brand,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: if you will, on the Malar scale of value, the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Malar scale of value one to ten, where ten would
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: be a guy like Puka Nakoua, who's actually someone that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: shows up, produces. He's not on that massive contract yet.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is a.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Six. That's it. He's a six now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'm being too generous on that at this point,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: based on the age and the comps and all that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The Cheetah is essentially, to rephrase this for those of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you a little slow in the back of the room,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: maybe you missed the very beginning of this. Tyreek Hill
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is like an Instagram model, meaning looks fantastic on your
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: phone when you're looking at the screen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Really just a total smoke show.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And you see the clips and you're like, oh, that's great,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and you see the numbers, and you see the stats
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from three years ago and you're like, oh, that's pretty good.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And then you take away those filters one by one
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and you look at the actual medical report and it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not good. His entire career has been based on the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: superpower that he is the human version Tyreek Hill of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog in terms of speed, and that's it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That's the whole bag. He turns thirty two in March,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: which in the real world is not old, but in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the sports world you're at the end of your athletic prime.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And he's also been hobbling around a rather major injury
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a dislocated knee hello, and a torn shredded acl.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: For Tyreek Hill.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me that in order for this to work,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the speed merchant with a shredded leg is going to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have to be the same player that he had been
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago at age thirty TI, Well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that seems that seems logical. That seems like it's gonna
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: work out, right, unless it's not. Now at this point,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the Cheetah, the Cheetah name is doing way more work
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: than the actual game, and he's slightly above average if
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he doesn't.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Have the speed element.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Now that said, there are always enough desperate front offices,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: desperate coaches and gms that will pay for the name
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: because you can get some box office out of that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Not that these teams necessarily need that at this point,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But even though Tyreek would be past his expiration date,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you're still like, well.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: There's something there.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: There's something you can mess with the dow hickey and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: get that thing working out, turning the page but keeping
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the beat going.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: We're not going far away though. So let's phrase the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: question this way.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Let's play the Ben Mahlor Show match game, all right,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: match game? Which team would be a good match for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill? Play long kids, all right? Playing the Ben
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Malors Show match game? Which team would be a good
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: match for Tyreek Hill. Now, as always, I stare into
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the crystal ball, and I don't love what I see
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill playing the match game. I don't because
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we have a diminished asset, the mileage and all that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But in the crystal ball, playing the match game, we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: have come on down cansa City Buffalo. The Chargers, the Ravens,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and the Steelers. Yes, five teams, five teams. One of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: those five teams wind up with Tyreek Hill. And I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: am never wrong when I use the Mallard crystal ball
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and play the match game. I am never wrong unless
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I am. But those are the teams and it makes
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: sense because Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, those teams love nostalgia
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: acts right. They love those washed up has been guys.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They like bringing those guys in. That's what they've done.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And there is also the merch madness part of this,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the merch madness part of this where the washed up
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: pass catcher who has one last reunion tour sells a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: few jerseys, everyone hugs and they get in the fields
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Kansas City would be the ultimate
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: home coomy, right. That seems like an illogical move though,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: based on the fact if you look at the Chiefs
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they need the next big thing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: They don't need the big thing.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's like getting an old iPhone and getting it was
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: nice when it was new, but you need the next thing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: You don't need the old thing and all that stuff.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The Chargers would make some sense with Mike, you know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the old the old Dolphin coach McDonald there, McDaniel rather
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in in Miami. So they worked together, Tyreek Hill and him.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So you put them in LA and the he's the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: OC and so familiar face, comfort food, all that stuff.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: It's Tyreeka.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's TV's set Salvage Dogs starring Tyreek Hill.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: It's Salvage Dog.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna convince themselves that they found a classic automobile
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: until it breaks down and it's sitting on wooden blocks
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in Okay in their drive until that happens in their driveway. Fine,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: all right, Now the last word here with the roster
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: shakeup in Miami, everyone's turning their attention said, well, Tyreek
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Hill's gone, and Bradley Chubb is gonna be gone, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: some offensive lineman we never heard of it is gonna
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be gone.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Some other wide receiver.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: We don't really know who that guy is, but he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: gone too. So what about the quarterback. Well, the Dolphins
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: have not fired to a tongue of Iloa yet. However,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins said to be actively shopping. They're actively shopping
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: trying to find a trade partner for a tongue of iloa.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It is still possible that he is outright whacked and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: just let out goodbye, I see you later. But the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: preference is to supposedly trade him so they can get
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: some scratcher tickets in return. Also there's some loop de
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: loops and some cheat codes in the cap, the wizardry
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of the cap that work out for the Dolphins. We
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: are told if they trade to a and not just
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: release him.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: So I supposely this was not going to go on
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: too long. Question.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: From thirty thousand feet in the sky looking down, thirty
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: thousand feet in the sky, looking down, how are the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Tua tongue of Iloa sweep steaks looking for the current
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and soon to be former Dolphins quarterbacks.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: So from thirty thousand feet looking down, everything looks small.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And I do have my oxygen mask on through the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: magic of radio I put it on, so I have
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the I have the oxygen mask on because the cabin
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: pressure is a little messed up. And Tua it's it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: letters if I can see, it's kind of written in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the crops, you know the crop circles.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It's it's written there in the crops.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And the first letter is D, the second letter is OH,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the third letter is N, and then the final letter
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: is e.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: That's that's done in Miami.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Tua is done in Miami cooked finito seediliter.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Now this is telegraphed long ago.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: You don't need me to tell you that you, generally speaking,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: do not take your so called franchise quarterback and make
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: him the third string emergency quarterback unless you're planning to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: send him to Sideberria.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And so, yeah, that's that's where we are.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They got the new GM there, they've got the new
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: coach in Miami, a couple of no names, and it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a clean windshield, no bug splatter from the old regime.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They don't want that around. Right, You're gonna go to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the car wash, gonna wash the car, get rid of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all the bugs and all that, get that thing detailed,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: get rid of the dents, fix the paint up, make
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it look good.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Translation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: The new executive, the new coach of the Miami Dolphins.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: They did not draft to a tongue of aloa, they
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: didn't marry to a tongue of aloa. And they owe
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: him bumpkiss. They don't owe him anything. And so now
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: we're hearing that the intermediaries are circling like late night
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: infullmrciall hustlers, and they're trying to broker a back alley
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback swamp wearing trench coats in cold, damp back alleys,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: trying to get a deal done.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: But here's the catch. Here's the catch, the market is limited.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I was texting a buddy of mind about this, like,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember, the designated hitter for
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a long time in baseball was only in the American League.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: It wasn't the National League.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So you'd have these guys that would come up in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: free agency were designated hitters, and they had a very
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: small mark because they could only play in the American
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: League because they couldn't play the field. And yet they
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't play for some of the teams because they were
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: big money players, so they couldn't play for the small
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: market teams. So it limited the mark. Well, Tua is
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: like a designated hitter for quarterbacks. The reason and here's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the catch. He turns into a good humor popsicle in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: cold weather. He can't play in a cold weather outdoor team,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: cannot do it. He's a dome and sunscreen quarterback. Only
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that's it. That's all dome or sunscreen. And so the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: looking around here now. They're fortunately most of the teams
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in cold weather these days playing dome stadiums, and a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: lot of the teams that are outdoors already have their quarterback.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: But teams you can't eliminate right now, you immediately eliminate
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: That would make no sense because.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Outdoor cold weather, that's forget about that. But my gut
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: says Atlanta. They have no quarterback in Atlanta. They are
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the headless Falcons. The Arizona Cardinals, they have no quarterback there.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: They all you know, they tried the little fella that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: circus act didn't last.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: The Colts Daniel.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Jones, do you really believe in him? Is he even
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be back? And maybe because they don't have a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback either. In Minnesota, the Vikings, they don't have a quarterback, right,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Number nine is number ninety nine. He sucks U and Tua.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It's a mixed bag with Tua.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: We all know it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's a mixed bag with TOAs on the younger side.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: He's not that washed up and anything like that. The
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: stats did sparkle, right, they did sparkle. However, if you
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: look a little closer and get out the malard magnifying
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: glass in bubble wrap, quick pass, the carnival offense of
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Things clicked.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: However, when things break down, when the temperature drops and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it gets a little chilly, gets a little chili, the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: limitations just scream.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: They scream at you so louder.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: In fact, in those conspiracy theorists at a UFO convention,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: or the Flat Earth Society, or my favorite, the Hollow
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Earth Society, we did a couple of shows many years
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: ago when that wackadoodle Kyrie Irving, that nutjob was talking
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: about flat Earth and all that. So we engaged in
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: some conversation that led us to a very deep dark
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: place where we talked about the hollow Earth, the flat Earth,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and everything involved in that. And I still receive email from.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: The Hollow Earth people. Of course.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm still getting email from the NASCAR people. And I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: haven't regularly covered NASCAR in many, many years, it has
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: been over a decade, and they still I get on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: these email lists.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: They can't, I can't get off of them.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I block them and I say unsubscribe, and then a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: week later I'm getting.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: More, more and more, more and more and more and
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: more more and more.

• 15:50
  Speaker 1: we are in the very early stages, very early stages
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League. However, it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is never too early to fet and to parse the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: words of the robber barons of baseball. The latest in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the Grapefruit League and beautiful Port Saint Lucie, Florida. The
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: New York Mets owner Steve Cone, the man who I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: was told by all my friends who are Mets fans,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this is the great Messiah of met Baseball. The glory
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: days are here again. The glory days are here again
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: for Steve Cohn. So he addressed the big blue boogiey
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: man in the room, the big blue boogeyman.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: In the room.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't hear about this, or perhaps not,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Coin he broke down the fact that he was supposed
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to put the Mets in the position that Dodgers are
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: currently in, but they're not. And the conversation they went
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: back and forth, a lot of it was because of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, who left the Mets to join the Dodgers,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and that upset a lot of Mets people.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: And so we have a little bit of a Q
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: and a Here, let's get your little taste.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Here, here's Steve con the Mets owner, who's yeah and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about the Dodgers.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Take a listen. The Dodgers had another big offseason.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: You feel they kind of widened the gap on everybody,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: or how do you look at that dynamic? Well, I mean, listen,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: they're formidable, right, I mean they have the ability to spend,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: so do I, by the way, And you know they've
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: built a great team. But I think we've built a
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: great team, and I think we're going to be really
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: competitive this year. And the goals to meet him somewhere
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: along the way in the playoffs.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the beginning of that was the money part
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: where all the writers say, just laugh their ass off.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Just Leade loved it. So he said they're formidable. They
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: have the ability to spend, so do I by the way?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Good jumping off with that was Steve Coen, the Mets owner.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question can you unravel what
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitans owner Steve con means when he says he
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: isn't He went on and say, isn't scared of the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and you know they're formidable spending and all that stuff.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got Walmart, Quaker, Oats, and Frogger,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we are going to play connect three. That's right, Connect three, well,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three. So we always start.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: With number number w A right, So to unravel the
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: words of Steve Cohen.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with delusional capital D delusional.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It's pure, unadulterated extra strength cope from the Mets owner.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: It was not supposed to be like this. It was
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: never supposed to be like this. He's screwed things up.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: He has not been as advertised. And since he's a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Mets fan, the vast majority of Mets fans are giving
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Steve Cohen a pass. But he's not done the job.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He's not as the owner right He's entering now his
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: sixth year. We are told and talked all this talk
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: about the Mets being the.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: East Coast Dodgers and all that. What has he done?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: What is het? He spent a lot of money.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: But the Mets do you know what their record is
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: since Steve Cohen took over in all of Major League Baseball?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I looked it up. So the Mets, where do you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: think they are? You think they're now? They're obviously not
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the top team in baseball since he took over five
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Heading into year six, what do you think the Mets?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Do you think the Mets are like?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, number five in the top they gotta
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: be in the top five, right, No, six, maybe seven. Well,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it turns out the New York Mets, since Steve Cohen
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: became the owner, the Mets are eleventh in baseball. They're
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: not even in the top ten. They're eleventh in baseball
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: overall record since Cohan bought the team, and even more embarrassing,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a team named after a bridge, the Cleveland Guardians, who
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: spend about twelve dollars and a pack of gum on
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the roster and had a couple of their pitchers a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Q used of fixing pitches, have a better.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Record than the New York Mets. Hello.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Now, Colin assumed the position that he bought the team
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in a big Wall Street guy and he could stroll
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: into any Walmart anywhere in the United States, grab a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: box of tuna helper and then sprinkle just you sprinkle
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the tuna helper on there and some twenty four carre
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: at goldflakes, and presto, you've got a World Series.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Now, unfortunately, it does not work that way.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You cannot buy a soul for a franchise. The Mets,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I mentioned they were eleventh in baseball. You know how
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: many games back they are in the regular season from
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: where the Dodgers are in the last five years, the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Mets are eighty three games worse than the Dodgers eighty
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: three eighty three and wow wow. Now, as far as
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the poor billionaire bit, which I'll get a kick out of.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Steve Cohen is wealthy. He's very, very wealthy.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: He's done a lot of good things by screwing over
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: businesses and that's how you make a lot of money
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: on Wall Street. Cohen is at twenty three billion. Last
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I looked the Dodgers. It's a little different because they're conglomerate,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers ownership group, the Guggenheim Group, which operates the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Dodgers their value. Now, not all of this goes towards
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the baseball team, but mention Steve con twenty three billion,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers are at three hundred and thirty billion. It
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: is institutional capital that the Dodgers have here. So that's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a middleweight getting in the ring against Godzilla or King
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Kong or whatever Cyclops or the hunchback of Notre Dame,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: whatever monster thing you want to put out there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: The Mets lineup. If you look at the Mets lineup,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: they've got a couple of big names there. They don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: scare anybody though the pitching.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Is eh eh, And you know, Steve Coin say, I'm
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: not scared. You know, he shouldn't be scared. He should
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: be embarrassed. Should be embarrassed, and he's realizing that it
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: is a zero some game here, that he's the one
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: holding the empty bag of gold plated noodles.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: What happened? Where did they go?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: All?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Page two to the leadership ranks, we continue with the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour. The Mets owner also announced that
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: they will not be naming anyone as the captain of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitans, and that is by design. Steve con said,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: as long as I'm owning the team, there will never
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: be a team captain. Cohen told the reporters, who probably
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: laughed when he said that, laughing at everything he says.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: This is his annual spring training news conference. He says,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that was my decision. The Mets owner said, my view
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: as the locker room is unique, and let the locker
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: room sort it out year in and year out. So
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the question do you agree or disagree with owner Steve
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Cohen stonewalling a captain for the Mets in that clubhouse?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So I actually support this. I do support it. Your professionals,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it's your job. Just do your job. You don't need
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a gold star on your report card or a letter
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: sewn into your chest to lead.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And the whole captain thing in baseball is pretty corny,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: It's like being the line leader in second grade.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's great when you're in second grade, but
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be in the big leagues. And it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: also a total admission. So I support not naming a captain.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: In fact, most teams in baseball don't have a captain.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It's also Steve Cohen admitting that he spent a billion
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: dollars on two guys that aren't of the pedigree to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: be a leader. In terms of a captain, he's like,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: he says, he listen, I gave one Soto seven hundred
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and sixty five million. Of course, after taxes, that's about
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: seventy dollars in New York. He gave soda seventy seven
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: sixty You have million dollars whatever it was. And the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: guy could not lead a horse to water. And same
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: with Francisco Lindor, who's getting over three hundred million dollars.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So you've got over a billion dollars between those two guys,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and the New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is looking
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: around the room going, well, where's the leader here?
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I mean that that is an indictment of those guys. Again,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I agree with the premise.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: However, you would you would think that that comes with
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the default settings when you sign a ballplayer for seven
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five million, that he's just going to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: be your leader and your captain and all that stuff.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And if you have to tell people you're the captain,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you have to tell people you're the leader. You aren't
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the leader right now, that Mets clubhouse, they have a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: leadership vacuum. They need to go out and contact the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: people at Quaker Oats and put boxes of Captain Crunch
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: in there, because that's the real captain. Captain Crunch gets
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you started the right way there, and at least he
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: does provide crunch. And sometimes you get that Barry crunch also,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you get that, and these guys, I don't know if
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: they even provide a shrug. Heck, you can go Captain Kangaroo.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: There's another famous captain, Captain Kirk nemesis of the show,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Captain Kirk.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of captains out there now.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: As I understand it, the only teams in baseball that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: have a captain are the.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yankees with Aaron Judge.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: And you know who the other team is, No, Okay,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Kansas City the Kansas City ROAs last year. Those are
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the only two teams that had a captain. Yeah, the Royals,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Salvador Perez. They are a longtime catcher. So it's a relic,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is what I'm saying.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: So again, it's a shot at in.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Many ways Lindor, Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. It's also
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: smart pr by Steve Cohen, the Mets owner. You're avoiding
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the drama by picking one overpaid star and then hurting
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the other one's feelings, and so God forbid that happens.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And so he's just gonna let the locker room.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Sort it out.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And if you want to lead, that's great. If not,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: just cash the check. Try to hit the cutoff man.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: That would help. Try to hit the cutoff man. That
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: would be pretty pretty cool for the Mets.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: All right, now, final point, we go to the high
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Speed sports Wire. The high speed sports Wire a transaction
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the world Series hero of Years gone By, World Series
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: hero go Years.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Gone By on the move.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Former Dodger star Pitcher in the Fall Classic has a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: new home, Walker Buehler.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Buehler, Buehler. You see this.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: He is taking his talents to the home of the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Fish Taco Sunday Ago. He'll be in the Padre camp.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: And he does not even get a major league contract.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: He gets a minor league deal. Now, I remember, years ago,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: years ago, I was educated by a former major league
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: pictuer about this, So I'll explain. But the question, what
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: do you make of one time World Series star Walker
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Bueller and his chances of a career revival in Sunday Ago?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: All right, So just keeping it real, just keeping it real.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It was Rob Dibble, who if you're old enough to remember,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: he played for the Cincinnati Reds back in the day
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and was part of the bullpen called the Nasty Boys.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: And Rob was a talk show host here at Fox
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, part of the Alumni Association.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Now the great Rob Dibble. I think he's doing radio
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in Connecticut last time.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Rob worked here and good, good dude, good dude,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: but a lot of booze into work. He was partners
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: with some alcohol company. But anyway, that's aside the point.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That's aside the point. He's like, Yeah, he gave me
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the whole education on the minor league deals and how
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: all that stuff is often predetermined even though they give
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you a minor league deal.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: It's just it's semantics, like do they know who's going
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: to be on the roster.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Now, you can pitch yourself off the roster or play
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: yourself off the roster, but they know going in and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: then your performance changes that.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: But if you just do decently, you're gonna be on
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: the team.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So, in terms of what do I make of Walker
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Buler's chances, the Padres at this point are throwing mud
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: That's where we are. So I give Walker Buler.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: A less than ten percent chance of any kind of
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: legitimate long term career renaissance in San Diego. Since he
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: missed the entire twenty twenty three season with Tommy John surgery,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Walker Buler has been running on fumes, which makes what
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: he did in the postseason all the more ridunculous. All
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the more, Walker bull has an era of over five
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: since that Tommy John operation between the Dodgers, the Red Sox.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: He actually pisched okay for the Phillies, but didn't pitch
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that much since Tommy John has got an ERA of
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: over five. And yet he had that cosmic planet lineup
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: postseason where he didn't actually do much in the first round,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: but in the NLCS I believe that was against the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Mets and then the.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Yankees in the World Series.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: He was lights out in that twenty four postseason run
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, and so people were like, oh, he's back,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and then he went to the Red Sox and sucked.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And outside of that stretch that couple weeks in October
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, it has been squad douche as
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a Tillow in Florida would say, it's been squad doush,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: total garbage.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: In San Diego, you've got.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Three pitchers, Michael King, Nick Pavetta, and Joe Muskrove former
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: cheating ahstro those are the top three. And then after
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that the Padres are playing a game of Frogger. They're
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: playing Frogger kissing frogs. You've got Buehler who's thirty one
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and his arm is shredded. Just another body in the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: pile with somebody named Griffin Canning who's bounced around, and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Hermon Marquez, who I think pitched for the Rockies, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Marco Gonzalez. Just a bunch of guys, and a couple
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: of those guys will be in the Padre's rotation. They're
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: all fighting for a seat. They want to be on
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the bridge when it sinks, on the sinking ship. There
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the Padres with a rather middling roster, and they are
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: in danger of a full demo job in mid season.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And what happens when you leave a fish taco outside
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: in the sun. It starts smelling and turning colors and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: all that. So it's like a rotten fish taco there
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the padre roster.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: So keep an eye on that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: It's mallar, how about that?
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: To the third degree.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: This is one big gets grailled cool boy.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Last offseason was filled with constant rumors of a TJ.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Watt trade, and then the Steelers signed him to a
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: new three year deal. However, one Steelers insider suggested during
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: a recent radio appearance that Steelers GM Omar Khan hasn't
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: completely shut the door on a trade of TJ. Watt
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Ben How realistic is it that the Steelers would trade.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Him, so they definitely have to shop TJ. Watt.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: He has not been as productive the last couple of years.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: His performance has declined the last couple of seasons. He said,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of the injury thing. He's thirty one, I believe,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: so I'd say there's a twenty percent chance that he's traded.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I would trade him if I was the Steelers. Next.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: We learned last week that Panthers legend Luke Keigley was
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: class of twenty twenty six. Now, Keickley is campaigning for
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: his former teammate Cam Newton to also make it into
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: the Hall. Wonderful man and Newton does have an MVP
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: and a first team All Pro. Any chance that he makes.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: It, well, I would put Cam Newton in before Eli
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Manning because Cam Newton, at least for one season, was
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: truly one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, while
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Eli Manning was not. However, I would only put him
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: in the Hamberdasherie Hall of Fame coup for all the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: hats that he wears.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: He's not a no, he was a nice player.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton not a Hall of Fame player, did not
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: reach the threshold for the Hall of It next.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell revealed this weekend that he will not be
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: recruiting Lebron James to the Cavs, saying he's focused on
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: earning a ring this season. Then let's play the what
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: if game and say that they do win a ring
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: this season, the Calves, that is, Does that make it
• 32:32
