• 2:07
  Speaker 1: pretty cool that you're just gonna do that because of

  Speaker 1: a commercial. And that's why they buy advertising. So I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lead this hour play the head small Man, Viva Las Vegas,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Viva Las Vegas. So the Raiders filling up the content
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: machine here at Fox Sports Radio, the transaction Wire. Get
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: out your score cars, Get out your score cars right now,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so a lot of moving parts. A lot of moving
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: parts here. Let's start with the disgruntled playmaker. Disgruntled playmaker.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: If you have not heard, possibly not, possibly not, we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: learned that wide receiver Jacoby and Myers also a law
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: firm in southern California. Jacoby Myers not happy. He has
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: requested a trade from Lost Wages Nevada. He wants out. Upset.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I guess he's upset with Slug. He's like, I can't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: be here anymore. Lug and Mark and David, all the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: guys there in Vegas. I just can't can't deal with it,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he says, because he could not agree to a contract extension.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: So he's raising a hulla baloo, and the team says,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: nah Na, we're good, We're good. We're going to keep you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We're not trading. So it's a classic NFL standoff. Classic
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and we have one of these every every season, at
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: least won every season. So let us discuss the question
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: on this one. Will lawraiders came in to Jacoby Myers
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: trade request or do they write it out? Just write
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it out. He's under contract, you don't have to trade him.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So I've got Costco Rusty Nail and shadow boxing. Well
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: combined all these things together like legos, and the legos
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the babushka steps on because you put them on. When
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Babushka tries to clean them up and she's walking
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: around at night, she steps on, which is one of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the worst pains a human being can have, stepping on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a lego. It's got to be in the five worst
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: pains a human being can have. So number why number right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That's right. The writers are essentially running the world's saddest
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: flea market right now. They just are right open for business.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You got Tom Brady GM by proxy, but he doesn't
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: want any credit or blame because he's embarrassed by what
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: these moves. So the Raiders are open for business, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they're essentially telling the neighbors listen, you can't have this lamp.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This is too valuable. And then the neighbors like, well,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're running a flea market and you the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: lamp is there, and I'm not selling the lamp like buddy,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's it's a target lamp. It's not Tiffany's Okay, what
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Uh? The Myers is not a bump.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The guy's not a bum. Joan route E the guy's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a bump. The guy's not a bump. He's slightly above average.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers is the costco version of a wide receiver
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Number one. He just didn't you know what you get.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You're getting dependable. You're getting dependable. You're getting decent quality,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: not flashy, not flashy. You're certainly not bragging to your buddies.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You're not bragging to your friends. Oh yeah, I bought
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that Kirkland brand. Jacoby Myers. You're not excited about that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You're not. I mean, you look at the numbers and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you're like, the numbers are fine. You know, fifty yards
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a game, fifty and a half in his career. Last
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: year he was up to sixty eight and a half,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: which is not bad, not bad. It's not terrible, it's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not not elite, it's not all time great. And to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: answer the question, I expect him to be traded. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: my position is always the player who's unhappy is going
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to be traded. And here's why this is the classic
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we want volunteers not hostages. Got It's an old line
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin had back in the day. And if you're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: not happy, if the dude wants out, if the dude's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: gonna raise a problem. Fine, don't hold the player hostage.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It's not There's only certain players you hold hostage. He's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not one of those players, right, You ship them off
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: somewhere else, and that's it. Now where you ask, Well,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: we can spin the malor wheel of speculation on where
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers will in a good, quick, quick finger push
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: there by the rent. So I've got Patriots, Vikings, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Steelers as the most likely destinations for Jacoby Myers. The Patriots,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: he already played there. Josh McDaniels is back as the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, so there's a connection to the Patriots, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he is considered to be a dependable player. The Patriots
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: don't have a dependable wide receiver. They've got slop at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. Myers was fine when he played there, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we assume that if he went back he would be fine.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They have Stefan Diggs who's coming off an injury, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: then they've got a bunch of other drek. They're literally
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: putting drek out there wide receiver, and I don't think
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that's gonna go. Well. Now the Vikings, well, what the Vikings.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They're loaded, they got jail, they're loaded wide receiver. They go, oh,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this guy, well, Jordan Addison is suspended because he liked
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to do things in his car involving alcohol and whatnot. So, uh,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: he's suspended to start the year, and Myers slots in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: as a at least a temporary number two as a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: slot wide receiver there as a babysitter until Jordan Addison's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: suspension is over, because remember, he's gonna he's gonna miss
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the first three games, Addison. And then you've also got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the will he be ready to play in the fourth game?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Is there gonna be a setback? Do you miss time,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you're more likely to get injured. The Steelers, I look
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: at those wide receivers and I know they got the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: got dk Metcalf. Okay, that's good. The rest of those,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Jimoke's not so much. And Mike Tomlin this seems like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a Mike Tomlin guy. Ja Kobe Myers. Right. Also throw
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like Niners in there if you want the Niners. Uh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they've got wide receivers who think they're better than they are,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and they've got guys that are hurt, so they've got
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a hodgepodge there. Uh, you know, and here's the other thing, right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You look around and you're like, all those teams, what's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the price tag? Well, the price tag. If the Raiders
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were offered a fifth round draft pick, that's about what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he's worth. Now, if somebody gets all excited, I want
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to I want this guy. I'll give you more than that. Okay, fine,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but a fifth round pick. It's like if you're if
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you're the Steelers of the Vikings or the Patriots, you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: trade a fifth round pick. A fifth is like giving
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: away a Chili's gift card. You know, like it, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna miss it. You know. It's like, if
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I have it, it's great, But I guess somebody else
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: can go to Chile's and enjoy the gift card. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't need it. It's that kind of thing. Now, if
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the Raiders somehow get a fourth round pick, they should
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: go out to Fremont Street, right near the iHeart studios
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: there and dance and have a great time. Right. That's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Ocean's eleven type high stuff if they get that. But
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: at the bottom line, Jacoby Myers is useful, he's above
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: average slightly, he's reliable. He's just not elite not he's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not happy. He's not happy and the stories are connected
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: because page two here mention it's a Raider heavy hour.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the calls in a little bit,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: but the Raider heavy hour here while Jacoby Myers is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: having a conniption fit and would like to be traded,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he wants out, says, I would like to go somewhere else,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: one way ticket out of Sin City. Well, we had
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a reunion. The Raiders brought back a blast in the past.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Ten years ago. The Raiders first round of the draft
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: picked Amari Cooper and Mary Cooper was really good at
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: dropping passes with the old Oakland Raiders. Man was he elite.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: He was an elite pass dropper with the Raiders. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: he's back. Maybe he's back, but now the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Cooper thirty one, he played for the Brownies and the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Bills last season, was one of the big pickups before
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the trade de aligned by the Buffalo football team. Was
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: considered the top available veteran pass catcher on the street
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: at this point. So Pete Carroll is selling and the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Raiders are selling that this is a veteran presence that
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: he's been around the block. He just knows how to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: get the job done. Maybe there's a little leadership in there.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The Raiders have a young wide receiver room and he
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: will be someone that can go in there and fill
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in one of the question marks on the Jeopardy board.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And that's that. So question to you, does this edition
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of wide receiver Amari Cooper actually move the needle for
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. So the way I look at this, this
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is not a needle move. There is no movement of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the needle. It is a rusty nail is what it is,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: jammed into the side of a sigate ship. Okay, do
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you understand? Listen, the Raider Wide Receiver room is a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: disaster with a capital of the What is Tom Brady
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: smoking over there? Is he's on the drinking the ayahuasca.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: What do we got going on over there? That is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a FEMA zone. The Raider wide receiver room. Now you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have somebody named Dante Thornton who's unprocessed, and Trey Tucker
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and they are projected to be starters for the Raiders.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You also have Jacoby Myers who wants out asap, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: those are the top three wide receivers at this point.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: They're hoping that Amari Cooper can come in there and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: stabilize things. Unfortunately, if you watch the NFL, or even
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: if you're blind and listen to the NFL on radio
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: last year, you know, shoh that a Marii Cooper looked
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and sounded sounded like a player that was running in molasses.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: At the end of last year, he was the big
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: pick up by the Buffalo football team to put them
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: over the top. How did that work out? Yeah, he
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: showed showed a Mark Cooper that he had these separation
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: skills of a refrigerator magnet when he played for the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills there and it looked like he was in
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a Lake effect blizzard the entire time. He was a decoy.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They didn't trade for him to be a decoy. But
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that's what a mari Cooper was with the Buffalo Bills.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And so you know what this is. This is the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the Raiders walking in to the emergency room and saying,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you know, doctor, doctor, give me the news. And the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: doctor says, well, I'm sorry to tell you you've got a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: broken femur. And the Raiders say, well, that's I just
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: don't have time for a broken feamer. Can you just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: put a band aid on it and we're good to go.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: That's just the way to do it. It's a pain.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Like Pete Carroll is out here trying to I guess
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: he's trying to recreate the Legion of Boom. I know
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom was defense here. But it's like
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the ghost of Christmas past, the ghosts of Raider passed
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. The Raiders are admitting though this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is a confessional by the Raiders. The Raiders are admitting
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that the wide receiver room sucks rocks. They're admitting that,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and so instead of building a new foundation and all
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that stuff, they're trying to duct tape the lava lamp
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to the wall, and they're calling you a schandelier. They said, well,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it's a chandler. No, no, it's not. It's a lava lamp.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: That our friend Andrea, the insider, the astrology and side,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: she put up a lava lamp and then it fell down.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Then you picked it up and you taped to the wall.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You said, it's a chandelier, it's a lava lamp. Bad
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: job are you? But you look there and the Raiders
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: have brock Bowers, who's going for the Raiders to make
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Brock Bowers are going to catch by my
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: math malor math two hundred passes for the Raiders to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: find a way to make the playoffs. They are the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: definition of av all Ridge. That's an average football team.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a six seven to eight win, nine
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: win team somewhere in there. That's it. Faux contender at most,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: fau contender for the Raiders in a division that is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: stacked with the Chiefs, the Chargers, and supposedly the Broncos.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: On the on the come all right final point, the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Raiders also made another oh my god, it's all Raiders.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: The Raiders addressed the backup quarterback position. You might remember
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: any previous episode of the show, there was speculations for
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the Raiders were interested in Ryan Tannehill. Well, they woke
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: up and realized he blows. So let's go out and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: get a younger quarterback who just sucks. And so that's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: what the Raiders did. Vegas acquired Kenny Picket, Yes that no,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you know who that is Kenny Pickett from the Browns
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in exchange for a fifth round pick. So question, is
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett's third trade now of the Raiders in eighteen
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: months a sign that he is a bust or is
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: he just a victim of bad situations? Just bad situations.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So for the kool aid drinkers, they'll say Kenny Pickett
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: just wasn't given the proper runway to take off that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: if you look at his career, he's started twenty five games,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: he's five games above five hundred. Kenny pick is fifteen
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and ten as a starter. However, any kind of due
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: diligence on the career of Kenny pick any kind of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: objective analyzing what's going on here, the arrow is pointing
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to bust with a capital B, bust with a cavalry.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: He was the quarterback of the future. The Steelers, with
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, drafted this guy in the first round, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin had him for a couple of seasons and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, this guy's not that good. This the whole
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: they had, the whole back story. Ride guy went to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: college at pitt goes over to the Steelers, the whole thing,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and a couple of seasons in after being picked in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the first round, Pittsburgh brought in Russell Wilson to compete
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: with Kenny Pickett. And what did Kenny Pickett do when
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: they brought Russell Wilson in to compete. He had the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: ultimate hissy fit. I'm not doing it. I am Kenny Peggott.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Scraw you out. I want out. He gave up, he
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: gave up. He ran from the grind. He just run.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: He run the other he ran the other direction from
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the grind. And that's the thing you can't do, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: he did it. The guy's a quitter. Kenny Pickett's a quitter.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Rather than compete, you're telling me you can't beat out
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a rushed up, a rushed up and washed up Russell Wilson.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You can't beat out Russell Wilson. If you're Kenny Pickett,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: come on. And rather than try, he says, I want out.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I want to trade. So Pitsburgh traded into Philadelphia and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: he had all stop over. There was never going to play.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That was quarterback rehab in Philadelphia. And I think he
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: was traded for like a third round pick or something
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like that. So I think they got something of value
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for Kenny Pickett, they being the Philadelphia football team. But
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that quitting on the Steelers is something that has shadowboxed
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. And now he went to Cleveland. That's even
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: more emasculating than what happened in Pittsburgh. He just ran
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: away from the steeers, says, I don't want to compete
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: with mister unlimited. Mister unlimited. He goes to Cleveland and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he could not would not beat out a forty year
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco and a couple of neophyte rookie quarterbacks,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: including a fifth round flyer that Pickett in a supposed
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: open competition, a meritocracy where Joe Flacco ended up winning.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: He lost out, and he was so bad that they
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: don't even think he's a good backup in Cleveland, like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we gotta trade him, get rid of him. He can't
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: even be in a backup that's a quarterback devoid franchise.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It is a Bermuda triangle where quarterbacks go to die,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and they're looking for anyone that's got a pulse, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they got rid of Kenny Pickett. They got rid of him.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So will Kenny Pickett ever get a shot to start
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas or is he destined to be a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: career backup? Well, the Raiders Aidan O'Connell is hurt, he's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: going to come back at some point. So there's no
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: guarantee that Pickett even makes the roster the whole year
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders, and Gino Smith is best. He's with
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, and that's a Pete Carroll picked Gith. Tom
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Brady wanted a good quarterback. The Raiders couldn't get a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. They wanted Matthew Stafford. They tried to get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: some other players, and all the good players ran away
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: from the Raiders, So the Raiders then were forced to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: get some slop. And Pete Carroll says, that's the slop.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I like, that's the crap out of Seattle. I want
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that Gino Smith. Sure, we'll get you, Gino Smith. Why not?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: So Gino goes to the Raiders. He's a fraud as
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a number one quarterback, we all know that. But if
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: he stays healthy, then he's going to play the entire year,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett will get hemorrhoids sitting on the bench.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And despite that glittering record which we mentioned, five games
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: over five hundred as a backup Kenny Pickett because he
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: played on good defensive teams in Pittsburgh and they didn't
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: really play much at all in Philadelphia. But in his
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: career thirty games, twenty five starts, Kenny Pickett has the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: grand total of fifteen touchdowns and fourteen interceptions. Is that good?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Because if that's good, I wish I had you as
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a teacher. It is the Ben Maler Show, as we

• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what Raider fan pissed in your corn flakes? He says?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Or is it just because Blank's LA's third team, the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Lames or LA's third team? Uh big? What did I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: say that was wrong? Purito? I don't know what did
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I say anything that was wrong? I don't know. Did
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I These guys get so upset, so offended? What did
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I say that was wrong? You got Jakobe Myers, who's average,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: who doesn't want to be there, so trade him. You
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: brought in a guy who was available. The season begins
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: in less than like a little over a week. Today
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: is Tuesday. Next Thursday, the NFL season begins. Nobody signed
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to Marik Cooper. Do you think that's because he's really
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: really good and everyone couldn't afford him, or he signed
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a one year deal because nobody wanted him and the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Raiders were the only team that offered him a contract.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: What do you think is more likely? And Kenny Pickett
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: blows everyone knows that in Pittsburgh. Everyone knows that in
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia and in Cleveland, and soon the Raiders will learn.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So rather than be upset with the messenger, you should say, hey,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute, the problem is with
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. Scrooge says, a bad flea market is an understatement. Ben,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: You'd find more value from a landfill than the Raiders roster,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: aside from Max Crosby and Rock Power. Now, double Old
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Mexican is a level headed unlike Perrito, who's drinking that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: black in the Silver and blackcool aid. Double Old Mexicans
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: like eight point one on the mall of monologue. I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: got Meyers going to the Patriots for a fourth round
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: pick would be a fifth but Josh mcdummy will break
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: out the pom poms for Jobe Myers. You can see
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that no stradinas in Seattle Rights and he says, got
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to say, Pete Carroll is pulling all the rabbits out
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of his football hat in loading up on the kind
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of players that get to get him five to six wins.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It is fascinating Thoster Denis. It is impressive to see
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: them do. It was good to see Nostre Deinas, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen him in a number of years. And
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: he and his wife lovely wife there, lovely wife except vegan,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: so she's not perfect. Yeah, chicken strips on the you
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: know she's on the dark side, but you know it happens.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Some of us make those decisions. Who else do we
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: have to see? Mark the full name guy keeps sending
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: me comments about the Cleveland Spiders. Is there anything less
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: relevant than comments about the Cleveland Spiders? On sports radio
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, No,
• 24:50

• 27:23
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year, give or take. What do you
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: believe his financial obligation is for the marriage? It was
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I guess it was actually fifteen months of marriage and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: he did not get a prenup. Don't believe, well, I don't.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mail, which is a great tabloid in London.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's really good, solid tabloid. And so
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: they've been following the divorce proceedings with this Keita Vakaro
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I believe is her name, I don't know. And well,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it turns out he will be paying. There's a one
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: time check that he's got to write. There's a one
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: off check which see, I'm not gonna play the game
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna ruin the game. I know you're gonna
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: ruin the game. You're both gonna ruin the game. You're
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: gonna ruin the game. You're gonna ruin the game. You're
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: gonna ruin the game. It's the old, the old thing
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: with with Eddie. When he used to work here, he'd
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: ruin the game. And I know you're gonna ruin the game.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to ask you. I'm just gonna
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: say that. Tyreek Hill, according to the tabloids, in his
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: divorce fifteen month marriage to this young lady, is going
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to have to write a one time check for five
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, but on a monthly basis, he will
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be paying his strange wife anywhere between twenty and fifty
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars per month in quote, spending money. I wouldn't
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: even know that much. I wouldn't even know how to
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: spend fifty grand a month or twenty grand? How do
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: you do that? I mean, I guess if you gave
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: me the money, I'd find a way to do it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure she's gonna have a very nice house
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and a very nice car and a bunch of birkins. Yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: she's maybe a new butt. She's also getting money towards
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: her legal fees. One hundred thousand dollars to spend on
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a new car, Well, that's about the going rate for
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: a car one hundred grand these days. That's ridiculous. And uh,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: he's exclusive use of their formal, their former marital home,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: five point five million dollar waterfront condo in Miami, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Hill's got to pay the mortgage on that, insurance and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: utilities and internet. Wow, So it's five hundred thousand. But
• 29:35

• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the house is more than that house five point five million. Wow,

• 31:42
  Speaker 4: a Tinker toy. You're my age, you remember Tinker.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I do remember Tinker toys. But I would argue a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: small lego piece where you hit the corner is the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: worst pain possible.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: But the wheel with the wood will stick it up

  Speaker 6: TMZ caught up with former USC running back Lendale White
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: over the weekend. He was the thunder to the Lightning
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: and thunder duo there.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I remember he was a fat one?
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Yes exactly yeah where Lendale White said that he thinks
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: that USC will make the college football playoff for the
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: first time and that he has faith in Lincoln Riley.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Ben does Riley need a College Football Playoff appearance to
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: keep his job.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of money tied up. I'm one
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of my a couple of people I know over there
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that are boosters at USC and they thought that was there.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: They had won the lottery when they got Lincoln Riley,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: and he suck. The problem Wan Riley has Coop is
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: his teams are soft and they play in the Big Ten.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: You're gonna play cold weather games late in the season,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: and they're just not built for that. They're soft West
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Coast teams. And that's on Lincoln Riley. That's on his
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: coaching set. I don't see a way that they win,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end, and I think he'll be
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: around for at least another year next.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: Texas wide receiver Nico Collins raved about having CJ. Stratage
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: as his quarterback, saying that their connection is like bread
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: and butter. Oh nice, and that they plan on shocking
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: the world. I like MC and cheese more.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Ben.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: The Texans have kind of flown under the radar this offseason.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: What's their ceiling?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So their ceiling is there'll be a good regular
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: season and they play in a division nobody cares about
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that's why you fly under the radar. The AFC South
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: is terrible. You've got the Texans, who are the top team, Jacksonville, Indianapolis,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the Titans. It's a terrible division. They'll win, they'll make
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. They'll be the first playoff game on Saturday
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: because nobody wants to watch them play.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Next Major League Baseball announcement will be returning to the
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: Field of Dreams in Iowa for a game in the
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty six regular season. Then, what are some other
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: special locations you think would be good for a game.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Out in the Pacific. There's this this trash circle of trash.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Why don't they build a stadium in the middle of
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the Pacific on that trash island out there? And wouldn't
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: that be cool? Then clean it up? Why not? What
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: do you say? Coo bad? We do? I like it?
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You pass there is that's a one trash island, baby,
