  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from right here in the Bay
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Area in San Francisco. We are so excited to be
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: here and it's nice. They actually cleaned up some of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the some of the filth for the media. So with
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the they did, actually I'm not making matter. So with
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl coming up, it was a big galla
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: award night.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm not an award shows guy, I'm not. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: don't know. If you do. You like award show you
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: don't either, Okay? Good.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The only one I like is the Bennies. I don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: know why. I don't know why.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed the Betty's. I'm just a fan of the many.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So anyway, they handed out the biggest prize for an
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: individual player in the in the NFL you saw you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: heard by now no, maybe not? Okay, Well, the envelope
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is in. So it was a two horse race. You
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: had Drake May of the Patriots, who's going to play
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: one more game? And then you had Matthew Stafford or
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the Lrrims. And the vote is in and the winner
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and the twenty twenty five MVP handed out here in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty six, Matthew Stafford edging out Drake May,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and he is your NFL Most Valuable Player in the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: closest race in over twenty years. You gotta go back
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to twenty oh three when Peyton Manning and the late
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Steve McNair shared the MVP award. And I was, well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: don't tell anybody. I was here at Fox Sports Radio
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: when that happened, and people were freaking out, losing their mind. Okay,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I believe it, thought right, blah blah blah. How close
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was it?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks for asking.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford received twenty four of the fifty first place votes,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: twenty four of the fifty, while Drake May got twenty three.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So one fricking vote, one vote, that's it. That's all
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that separated the winner and the loser, and that is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. A lot of my friends
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth are up in arms.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I'm getting messaged no, you're a Ram Homer and you're
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: just gonna say you're.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Gonna celebrate Stafford and shouldn't have wanted a shut up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: All right, So let us discuss the question did the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: voters get it right? Giving Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: edge over the Patriots Drake May by.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: One vote for the MVP.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So my observations on this, I've got Churchill, downs, Hamburger, Helper,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and sourdough and we will combine all of these things
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: together and we're going to play Connect three is what
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we're going to play. I know you're excited to play
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Connect three and not Connect four. Connect three. We didn't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: do four things. We're gonna do Connect three.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So number.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: To answer the question, did the voters get it right?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You can't see me. I'm in a remote studio. There's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: no cameras. I'm doing radio the way radio used to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be done. I'm nodding my head. Yes, Okay, I'm nodding
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: my head.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Despite all of the bluster, and I get the bluster.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It was close I understand that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But when you take a step back and you look
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: down from thirty thousand feet in the sky, you look
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: down at what happened here, or if you want to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pretend like this is Churchill Downs, the most iconic racetrack
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in American horse racing. So this came down to a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: photo finish, nose on the tape, cloud of dust, replay,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: booth sweating.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Oh the drama.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: However, when you zoom in, they got it right. Matthew
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Stafford earned it. And the reason he earned it. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: know this is hard for some of you to understand.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: He ran the gauntlet, the big boy schedule, primetime knife fights. Meanwhile,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Drake May, and it's good the Patriots are in the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: super Bowl, so he benefited from this.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: He was eating on the kiddie menu.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was eating prime rib and succeeding, and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: May was. He was eating hushpuppies and chicken fingers, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I love hushpuppies and chicken fingers. I'd rather eat that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: than prime rib. And he had all you can eat
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: cupcakes and he enjoyed them. Drake May, Matthew Stafford led
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL in yards, he led the NFL in touchdowns,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he tied May in interceptions and posted a It was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like surgical touchdown interception ratio When you do the math
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: on that, fifteen games with multiple touchdowns for Stafford, nine
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: games with three or.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: More and no mistakes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And this is not like he just won on a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: heater in a couple of games. This was a controlled
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: burn for Matthew Stafford. Burn baby. And whether you win
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: by one vote, which Stafford did, or seventy five votes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. The trophy looks the same and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that's it. And this year the edge goes to Stafford
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: by a whisker, by a hare, by.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: One frickin' vote, by one vote. That's it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: That's all now Page two here, as we continue the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour question, what does the ENVP award?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: This ENVP award the first of the career of Matthew Stafford.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: What does this do for the resume of the Rams
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: quarterback Matthew Stafford.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: So this is obviously a big deal.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: This is a box checking exercise, is what it is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's a big box. I'm talking the kind you get
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: at Costco, like really big Kirkland brand size. It is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a booster rocket also that is strapped in magine Matthew Stafford.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's strapped Matthew Stafford's resume and launched directly in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: bull's eyes.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: On Canton, Ohio.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And one of the great arguments in sports radio died tonight.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Is Matthew Stafford a Hall of Famer?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You don't have a leg to stand on so much
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for the Hall of very Good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You lose.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Take your parting gift, get out of here. That was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: yesterday's argument. The argument has now been repossessed. It is
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a very tough day. I'm going to send my friend
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Rob Parker a text. I love Rob. I saw Rob
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: here at Radio Row. I'm not at radio right now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a remote location, but I was there during the day.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: What a nightmare that is. But anyway, my guy Rob Parker,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: one of the all time great Matthew Stafford haters.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I love him to death.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: But a tough day for the SHS, the Stafford Hater Society,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and they got to sit this one out.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Real tough.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You're eating crow. There's no ketchup, there's no barbecue sauce,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: there's not even some honey mustard. You're forced to eat
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: crow with ranch dressing, which is the devil's blood.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: That's it. You got to eat it ice.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Cold out of a paper bag, and you've got to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: eat it with your hands. I hope you enjoy that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Stafford already had the Super Bowl ring. He already had
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: multiple playoff.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Runs in LA.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Now you toss an MVP on top, the cherry on top.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: That's a combo meal deal. That seals it. It turns
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: what was a borderline conversation into what part of Canton
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is the bust gonna go into?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Can we start working on it right now?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And then you've got Sean McVay who enters the chat
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and McVeigh is the hamburger helper. I guess, in this case,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the quarterback helper. We just add water. In this case,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: all Stafford needed was ram horns on his helmet and presto.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is a Hall of Famer. Meanwhile, tough one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for the Lions. Right oo know, all you geniuses from
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Michigan told me when this trade happened a couple of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: year back, we were on these microphones. He said, listen,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this is a bad trade for the Rams. Stafford's a loser,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and the Lions got all these shiny draft picks and we.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And they got Jared Goff. Oh my god, it's so sexy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: They're so happy. And this is a.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Body blow, body blow for the Detroit Lions. They traded
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Stafford for Jared e f and golf and what amounts
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to a couple of gift cards and some pizza. That's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: what they got and some store credit. I think they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: got some store credit on that as well. But five
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: years with the Rams. Now for Matthew Stafford. In that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: five years, he's one of the Most Valuable Player Award.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Has Jereed Goff done that? I'm asking for a friend. No,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he had, Okay, he hasn't.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Has Jared Goff done that? I guess he hasn't.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, a trip to the Final four Gough did do that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but Stafford did it as well.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And he's won over sixty percent of his start.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So it's not narrative. It's you know, that's malor math,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that's the numbers. It's an emotional truth bomb. Stafford.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: He didn't change. It's just the uniform, the coaching, better coaching,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you say, the better players. But he had Calvin.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Johnson Megatron, total stud with the Lions as his guys. Well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I am with the Rams. He had Cooper Cup. When
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup was good. He's not really good anymore with
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the Seattle. But Cooper Cup and now Pooka Nakoua and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Devonte Adams and those guys all right now, final point.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time, very valuable, I'm told,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: very valuable talk radio time, discussing over the last couple
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: weeks Bill Belichick, and he was denied.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: We learned this week that Robert Kraft did not get in.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: So who got in? Well, we now know the gold
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Jacket club.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: If you have not heard yet, the class of twenty
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: twenty six.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: And they will be played.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: There'll be a Hall of Fame weekend with a terrible
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: exhibition football game that no one wants to watch, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: then they'll be the awards ceremony where these guys get
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in living funeral, right, you know, you give eulogis about
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: how great everyone is, but you're still alive, You're not dead.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald are the headliners on
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six Pro Football Hall of Fame Class
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: five players, but not Bill Belichick. Now there's a Patriot
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that gout in now Breeze and Fitzgerald both made it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: their first time on the ballot. They were in first
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: time eligible. The results announced at that Fugacia Awards show
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: here in the Bay Area where they do it for
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So you had that and other guys
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: making it. You had Luke Keighley the linebacker, he made it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Adam Vinnittery is the Patriot. Adam Vinitari the clutch kicker,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and he's in. He's he was eligible his second season.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Both those guys, Luke Kickley rather in Adam Minitary second
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: year of eligibility. And then you have the one that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is the pollar rising.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Name is Roger Craig.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: That was the loan pick from the the Geezer Department
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of coaches and contributors and senior members. And that is
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: where there's good talk radio. It's about the former Niners
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: running back. So the question for the esteem panel, how
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: do you classify former forty nine er running back Roger.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Craig making the Hall of Fame?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And this one when I saw this and I was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not watching the award show because I really don't like
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: award shows. I'm not making that up. It's not shtick'
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that's not my thing. Now, if I win an award,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I guess I'd be into it. But I don't win
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: any of these things. I'm not invited to those things.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So this one makes my I twitch. Bill Belichick denied,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and Roger Craig is in the Hall of Fame. Now
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old. I saw Roger Craig play, and he
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was a very good player for the forty nine Ers. However,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: he was like at the peak, he was the third
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: best player on those Niners teams. My word for this
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is generous, is my word.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: It gives me the.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Feeling like the velvet rope got moved again because the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: party came to town. Here it's San Francisco's hosting the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I know it's in Santa Clara. They're hosting
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the game. Confetti in the air everywhere, and abra cadabra,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the bar for the Hall of Fame in this case,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: when it came to Roger Craig softer than sour dough
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in foggy Fisherman's Wharf.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: In the morning, it's bad.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was a I believe I saw the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: number thirty three years after his career ended, Roger Craig,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and I think I saw the numbers like twenty eight
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: years of eligibility or twenty eight years of voting, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this is the time he gets in. For over a generation,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: these nincome poops who full Hall of Fame, the Hall
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of Fame voters all said the same thing for twenty
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: s I guess twenty seven years they said, nice player,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: not in this room, wrong room. And then suddenly it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: limbo night at a beach bar.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Let's do the limbo. How low can you go? How
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: low can you go?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: In his resume again, it's good he was a good player,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And I say he was not a good player. It
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: just wasn't great. You think like Shady McCoy, Ricky Waters.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I know, our friend from the Autobon Audubon Butches. You know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: he used to call me Ricky Waters. So this helps
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Ricky Waters because if you look at the comps for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Roger Craig, I know these are different generations, but Shady McCoy,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Ricky Waters, and Matt Forte of the Bears, those are
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the guys I know, you Feeme, He's like, oh yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Matt Forte, those are the guys that have similar numbers
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to Roger Craig. The numbers don't scream hall of fame.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it's another one. He's name a good player,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: but not hall of fame. I think he had a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: little over eight thousand yards rushing. It doesn't compare to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the heavyweights of his ear that he played in an
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: era where the running back at that time, this so
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: long ago, was back in the Bronze Age, that the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: running back for many teams was more important than the quarterback.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And now the nineteen eighties he had the great running
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: backs of that era, and you know, in the nineties
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he had Emmitt Smith, and then after that it kind
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of faded away as we got to the late nineties,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and it's you know, in thirty years and it's all
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it's all quarterbacks all the time.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: And the other thing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And I know this is more a me problem than
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a U problem. And I'm certainly not a Niner fan.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I grew up a Rams fan. But a lot of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: people trying to airbrush history here. One of my memories,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and I think I have this right, was the nineteen
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: ninety NFC title game, if I believe it was the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: title game, and one of my big memories of Roger
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Craig watching football.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: When I was younger.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Was a gigantic fumble in the NFC title game. Butterfingers
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that set the New York it's with Bill bar Sales,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the big tuna up for a win.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: So who Goofed? I've got to know? And so there
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And I still remember after all these all these years.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So hey, but he's a Hall of Famer now, so
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: who cares what I think? Roger craig in and Bill
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Belichick not so. I guess all you have to do
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is wait twenty eight years, thirty three years.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: After you play, and you're good to go. You're good
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: to go. On that.

• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Now this hour, we're going to change it up a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: little bit. It was the pro Bouncy Ball Trade deadline,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the clock struck midnight. That is our lead this hour.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The NBA Flea Market is closed. We'll get back to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the MVP conversation as Matthew Stafford, not Drake May. Matthew
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Stafford is your MVP. So pens down the clock struck midnight.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: On the NBA Flea Market.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So the story that everyone has been talking about, everyone
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: yapping about the great freak.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Did you hear the news? You didn't hear the new Okay,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you didn't hear the news good.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: After months of chatter, months and months of chatter, the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks have made a decision.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: They decided to do nothing.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: They decided to stand pat psych Yeah, they're gonna hold
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: on to Gianni Sai Denta Combo. Shortly after the news broke,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and this is the story here, the Bucks decided to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: reject all offers. And then shortly after that, in an
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Instagram POSTI dentic Combo said legends don't chase, they attract.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Oh that cuts deep, alongside a foul clip of the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: iconic movie Wolf of Wall Street where Leonardo DiCaprio's character says,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: very passionately in front of a bunch of other people,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he's not leaving his job. So that is a good
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: jumping off point as we parts the words and a
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: clip from.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: An old movie regarding Yannis dent to Cumbo.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss the question, how do you decode the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: buckstar yanis identic Cumbo's social media posts saying legends don't chase,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: they attract and all of that. So how do you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: decode this? With the Wolf of Wall Street flavor added?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Just sprinkled on top, really more of a sprinkle, just
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: sprinkle sprinkle, sprinkle. So I've got Amish village, three Musketeers,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and sleeping Beauty's castle, and we will combine all of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: delicious and I mean first class. Can't beat at Fetichini Alfredo.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: That's the way to go, all right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: So when I saw this from Yannis, I I chuckled.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I chuckled. I didn't laugh out loud, but I chuckled. Internally.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, kind of, Oh, that's that's funny. That's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that's funny. That was my internal monologue, like the voice
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in my head. So the Milwaukee Bucks opened up a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: pop up tent at a swap meet. They put Giannis
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: on the auctioning block and it's like, well, it's a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Greek freak, slightly used. It was won some awards, no refunds,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: all sales final. And then the Miami Heat came sniffing around.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: They were sniffing, and then the Golden State Wars they
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: were window shopping. They liked what they saw. They liked
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: what they saw. The timber Walls were like, hey, you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: know it's well the next state over. You know, we
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: got a little rivalry. Why don't we Why don't we
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: bring him over to Minnesota?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And nobody at this auction hit the reserve price. Nobody
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: hit the reserve price. No sale, no bueno. And now
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that this was all part of
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: some I guess, spiritual journey or something like that, Like
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: this wasn't it really wasn't the Wolf of Wall Street.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: It should have been a clip from Pond Stars. I'm sorry.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: The best I can do is nothing. I mean, that's
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: just the best I can do is just nothing. I
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: got nothing for you.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: For months, again, we had heard that a Denta Kuombo
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: was ready for a new home. That was the reporting.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Now suddenly, at the moment of truth, he's now the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: zen Master Giannis and he's still gonna be in Wisconsin's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: hurt right now. Supposedly he's still gonna stay in Wisconsin.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: He's acting like this is a spiritual growth situation. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in the cartoon bubble he's in an Amish village and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I believe it's rum Springer. Uh the you know what
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the Amige do where? Yeah, it's like that. The Bucks said,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: all right, like the like the amage. The Bucks said,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: all let's do a rum Springer and go see the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: world kid, or at least flirt with him, and then
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if you want to come back, you can come back.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And he came back to the barn. And by the way,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: who who exactly he mentioned he's going to attract people.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Legends don't chase, they attract. Who is he gonna bring
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to wiscontent? He already did that. He got dame time,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: which turned out to be a bad time for the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: So now this is not over by any means.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: The doors are closed for now because you can't trade anybody.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: That music has stopped.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And it's closed, but it's not locked. How about that
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it's still unlocked. And we will revisit this when we
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: get to the summer. Okay, all right, now, meanwhile, we
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: go to Memphis, where the barbecue is good and the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: basketball is bad. The theme continued in the Home of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the Blues. Yeah, the Home of the Blues.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So if you.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Had the Memphis Grizzly star guard Ja Morant relocating, you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are a loser. Jahn Morant ended up bunkering down in
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Tennessee past the NBA trade deadline, so no deal for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: jaw and the question why couldn't why couldn't the Grizzlies
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: find a new home for Ja Moran? All So, Ja Morant,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a guy who I'm old enough to remember when he
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: came onto the scene, was like this weird hybrid.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: He's got a little bit of Alan Irison.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Some Jordan tendencies, other great players, has the ability of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: being a face of the NBA guy.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: And now he's at a crossroads.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Now he's a mix of Kyle Lowry and Bojan Bogdanovich
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: at this at this point, he's radioactive on the trademarket
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Ja Morant. His market was absolutely lukewarm. Minnesota and Miami
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: took one look and said that we're good, No thanks.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Even Sacramento couldn't pull it off. So these teams terrified
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of what the three Musketeers of doom. It's the m
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I a special. I call it the Mia Special. Money
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: injury attitude, money injury attitude. He's not He's got a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: couple of years left and NBA plays with with funny
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: money and all that. But eighty seven million, I think
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: is the number that I saw on that massive contract
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: he signed with the Grizzlies. So who's picking up the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: mortgage on that? He's not worth that money. Now he's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: not He's fragile, and that's the problem. Twenty games this year,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I believe, is the number. And another injury, ucl sprain
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: in his elbow. And at this point, Ja Moran is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: like a high end rolex that doesn't actually tell time.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Well it's not a rollers Well it says Rolex on it,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't tell time. Why does it not tell time?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But it says Rolecks on it, so
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it should tell time. It looks beautiful from a distance,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you know, on your on your wrist or whatever, but
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you're still late because it doesn't tell time, and it's
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it's the baggage.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Also like the.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Air guns, the imaginary hand grenades, all very entertaining, the suspension,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: not listening to your coach, the behavioral nonsense, all that stuff.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So his value shockingly low and nobody, nobody is giving
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: up premium assets for a head case with a bum
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: wing that is not happening. So he's not worth a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: bag of delicious soft pretzels. I would rat at this
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: point today we do the show today, I would tonight.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I would rather have a bag of delicious soft pretzels
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that you just put in the air fryer for a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: little bit and they come out just marvelous. That's what
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I would want. That's what I want all right now.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: The last word, we did have a trade of note,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: as my former colleague Eddie Garcia, was a trade of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: note Indianapolis we go and the trade the last big deal,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: last big deal.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Before the trade deadline ended.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: The Pacers, who absolutely blow this year. The Indiana Pacers
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: have acquired e Vizza Zubots, the center from the People's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: team no more. The Clippers said bye bye to Zubots
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and in exchange they got Benedict Matherin, a fine Canadian
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: lad Isaiah Jackson, I have no idea who that is.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And two first round picks whoop damn do? And one
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: second round pick. So all you idiots that we're complaining about,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Oh the Clippers have no draft picks.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, now they got draft picks.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Whoop dam do. That's so great. I'm so happy. So question,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: how did you grade the Pacers trade of Viza Zubots
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to the Indiana Pacers. How do you grade this trade
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: between the Pacers and the Clippers. So we always go
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to the Mala report card. We always go to the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: malor report card, and I'm going to give on my
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: report card, I give Indiana a B plus and I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: gonna give the Clippers a C. And I'm I'm being
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: generous because I had a night lunch, so I'm gonna
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be generous the Clippers. They didn't just give up like
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it appears. They folded the tent. The Clippers had a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs after a historically bad start,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and they've decaid, wow, we don't really want that. And
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: my theory is because James Harden didn't want to be
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: there anymore, and so then that there was a trickle
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: down economics thing where Harden didn't want to be there.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They got rid of Harden, and so then okay, well
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Harden's not there, we're pretty much, you know, we're cooked.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So let's get rid of Zubats and so they did.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But Zubats doesn't go to a content any is not
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a contender. They suck this year. They're terrible, all right.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: So the Clippers gave up. I don't want my teams
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to give up. I'm not happy about that. You know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't been watching much anyway, because they're pretty bad.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But they packed up the cooler. They put everything in
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the station wagon. They left the campsite and the fire
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: was still burning. They said, let somebody else put it out.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: And again this is collateral image because of the beard
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: who's like, I don't want to be in LA and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So Zubots is he's a legit NBA center.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He's not a star. I'm not gonna sit here and
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: tell you behind the very powerful microphones of Fox Sports
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Radio that in any way Zubots is a star.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: He's not.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: He's not a stiff though. He's a solid, dependable player.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: He's like a I hate saying blue collar because these
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: guys are filthy rich, but that's what we used to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: say back in the day before everyone was filthy rich.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Like, he's that kind of player.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: He'll set screens occasionally, he'll protect the rim, and he'll
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: always be there. And it's pretty obvious that this was
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a move where the for the Indiana Pacers, where they
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: they got cooked by Miles Turner who bolted town. They're like, oh,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Miles Turner's not gonna go anywhere.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah he did.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: He left, and so you had nothing in the middle,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and he had open spot on your Bengo card and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: so This is a move not for this year, because
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: this year is over.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: It's a move for next year now on a tablet.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, games are not played on a tablet, but on
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a tablet, Zubots fits perfectly next to Tyrese Halliburton.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Pick and roll, dunk, repeat the whole thing.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Clippers are at Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle tossing
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: gold coins into a wishing well with these draft picks,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and they're betting that they can develop Benedict Mathern and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: he'll turn out to be a functional NBA player. And
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even know this Isaiah Jackson guy. But Zubots
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to the Clippers got from the Lakers. He was when
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they got I was like, well, who cares. The Lakers
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: were terrible at the time they got Zoobots, and he
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: became something with the Clippers.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: So they're like, well, we can do this, but that's.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Not a road to long term success getting meybe one
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of these guys turns out to be good. I don't
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: care about draft picks. I lived through years of terrible
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: draft picks. I don't need that. So it's not really
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a plan. It's like a seance, right, you're trying to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: connect to the other side. So the Clippers, they're not
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: they're in this weird vacuum because they're not contenders right now.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: You don't trade two of your top players and say
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: you're contender. You're not.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: They're not pretenders though they're in the middle.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And the word I got a text from a guy
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: during the day once the Zubots thing went down, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: it's like keeping on Kawhi is not happy. And when
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Kawhi is not happy, Kawhi.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Raises a hulla baloo. And that's my word. He didn't
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: use the word hullabaloo.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone else uses the word hullabaloo, but
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: me and I use the word hullabaloo.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I like the word hullabaloo. It's a fun word. I
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: like fun words.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: It's Mallard, how about that? To the third degree? This
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: is one big Ben gets qrilled.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: All right, coop a loop all right?
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Packers GM Brian Gudakounz told reporters on Wednesday that the.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Team pronunciation coop. That's a very dangerous name.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: It is, thank you. The team is probably losing Malik Willis,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: as Jordan loves backup as he is likely heading to
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: a team that will give him a chance to compete
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: for a starting job. Ben, could you see him starting anywhere?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's better than Kyler Murray. I would rather have
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: him than Kyler Murray as a starter. There's a job
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that'll be open up there. Pittsburgh is a possibility.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: He showed enough Malik Willis.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: He was terrible when he first started with the Titans,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: but he showed enough with somebody will give him a shot.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: He's like low risk, high reward and it's a kind
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of a big position, so it'd be the usual five
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: or six quarterback changes this year. The Jets are another possibility.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't wish that out of my worst enemy.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: Next I'm actually stunned by that answer. I was not
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: expecting that one. With Jalen Brunson's huge performance against the
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: Nuggets on Wednesday, the Knicks have extended their win streak
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: to eight games. Only the Pistons are ahead of them
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: in the Eastern Conference. Is this finally the year that
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: we take the Knicks seriously as championship contenders.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: No, they have Mike Brown as their coach. Come on,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: that's his place, and I want to see it in
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and it's all prologue.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Check back in April.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And let's see. We're in February. It's early February. I'll
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: see how it goes in April next.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: So Tarik's scooball shattered the record for arbitration deal here
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: last picture that you know, the highest.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: One was nineteen thirty millions.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he gets thirty two million, this guy. Yes, David
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Price was the previous highest pitcher at nineteen won Soto
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: was the highest position player at thirty one. It's because
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: of a clause in the league. Do you think they're
• 31:46
