• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: From Atlanta, we'll get back to the Lane Kiffin story
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: as LSU in a legal brouhaha with.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: The SEC and the NCAA.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Whether or not these NFL bounce-back players can play. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: there's other stories in college football as the beginning, the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: first weekend, first full weekend of college football is.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well underway, well underway.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And it looked for a while like we would see
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a knockout blow early in for the Colorado football team.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And I got suckered into watching this game. I did.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It was delayed because of a storm passing through Atlanta.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And it had a humdinger of an ending. Most of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the game, most of the game, the Ramblin' Wreck were
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in the lead. It was a close game. Not a
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: good game. A close game. In the end, though, some
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: high drama as Colorado freshman quarterback Julian Lewis... hit someone
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: named Charlie Williams, boy, that's a generic name, for a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: 20-yard touchdown with 42 seconds left in the game, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that gave the Buffaloes a 14-13 season opening win over
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. The reason they won the game, not just
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: because of that touchdown, the Yellow Jackets had matriculated the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: ball down the field.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: They got into field.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Goal range within 42 seconds. They got into field goal range,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: but Colorado's Boo Carter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Now that's a good name.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Boo Carter.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Boo. I like that name. I hope he makes it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in football.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Boo Carter blocked the kicker who was attempting a 45-yard,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: what would have been a game-winning field goal attempt as
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: time expired. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. And that is a good jumping-off point. So
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: let us discuss. Now what do you think happened? Following
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that win by Colorado on prime television, prime time television
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on cable.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think happened? Well, I think you know
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what happened.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So the question, does this late win with high drama
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: for Colorado move the needle for Deion Sanders? It's all
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: about Deion Sanders. So I've got Louisiana Purchase. State Department,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and Rhino. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and we are going to find a bargain. We're going
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to try to find a bargain. Goodness gracious me, we're
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: going to find a bargain. Now, to kick off the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: festivities here.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Colorado did not, did not make a statement.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Despite what you may have heard from some bumbling blowhards
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: or some social media bots, what they did here is
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: they sent a text message out in the group chat,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and they had not one, not two, but three typos
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: is what they did.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The Buffaloes trailed this game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Colorado trailed for 99% of the game before they ended
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: up beating Georgia Tech, and suddenly, of course, what happens
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: immediately is, well, Coach Prime stands.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The Coach Prime stands are out there.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: They're acting like Deion climbed Mount Everest, and he had
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: his flip-flops on, and that was it, and he had
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: no backpack, no water, nothing, just climbed all the way up,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and yeah, congratulations. There was a broken coverage by Georgia
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Tech that set Colorado up, and then they got the touchdown,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: which was a bit of a fluke thing, considering how
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: ineffective completely inept Colorado had been with Julian Lewis throughout
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the game their quarterback there but they made a play
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: late and then the special teams say that was big
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: time by Boo.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Carter Boo so Mazel Tov I would also.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Say relax relax you'd think Colorado just knocked off the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: 95 Nebraska Cornhuskers the way people are reacting here Colorado
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: looked Very ordinary. About where they were last year. They
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: looked about where they were last year. Now, it was
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a typical Southern night there in September. Hot, nasty humidity.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And all the stupidity with all the humidity. And it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: was rough. It was rough, rough, rough, rough, rough, rough, rough.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It was just, my God.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Colorado looked like they did last year. They were ordinary
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: against an ordinary opponent. But apparently ordinary is now extraordinary
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: if Deion is involved. And that's the beauty of the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Deion Sanders hype machine. It can turn a two-yard gain
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: into the Louisiana purchase.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Congratulate. Well, it was just a two-yard gain.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: But no, no, it was Deion, so it was like
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the Louisiana purchase. I don't hate Deion. In fact, I'd
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: love for Deion to work out. I also am realistic
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that I watched this game, and it was very boring.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It was not entertaining. The product was not good. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: was a slog through the mud, even though there was
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: no mud there. and a mid-rambling rec team from Georgia Tech.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And so Colorado, a lot of mistakes. It's mistakes, style
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: for substance, and people confusing those things and plodding along
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: on offense. Man, they were afraid to throw the ball.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I guess they know their quarterback's not all that good
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: right now, and just questionable play here, there, and everywhere.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: There was no rhythm.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Now, some of that was it's the first game of
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the year, you'll say, all right, we'll give you a
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: little bit of a mulligan. But the Buccaneers, the Buffaloes, Buccaneers,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the Buffaloes offense has all the rhythm of a washing machine.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: If you toss like a brick and a couple of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: hammers in there and turn on the spin cycle. And
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech is just a middle of the ACC team.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I think they were projected to finish somewhere between fifth
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and seventh in the ACC. So it's not like they're
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: an amazing team and all that stuff. And But they
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: are in the ACC, so I guess involving Deion Sanders,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you can brag about that. And they were mediocre enough
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to beat. And so Colorado, they certainly did not plant
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the flag. Deion Sanders did not plant the flag. They
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: did put down a nice yellow post-it note is what
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: they put down there with the sticky post-it note.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: That's about it. That's about it. All right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Furthermore, to Anaheim we go.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Fallout, Fallout, Fallout. Big news. Big news this week. Stan Kroenke.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: One of the richest people in America, buying the Wobegon Halos.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: A couple of things here.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: So after some panic at the disco about the Angels
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: leaving Southern California and going somewhere else, at least the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Angels are saying, no, no, Stan.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Kroenke's not going anywhere. He wants to keep the team
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in Anaheim.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: If the sleazebag politicians give Stan Kroenke what he wants,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of course, or at least give him a little bit
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: of what he wants, he'll likely finance.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Stadium himself, because he's got the FU money and all that. Now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the other story involves Stan Kroenke. It also involves Dodger
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: pitcher Tarek Skubal, who is a pending free agent after
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the season and got lit up by the Cardinals. in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: terms of he was not getting swings and misses and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: give up a bunch of hits and all that stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Ten hits is not a good number.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't play baseball. I know I didn't play baseball. Anyway,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: so get to the point, please. So Skubal believes that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the new owner in Anaheim, Stan.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Kroenke, immediately.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: makes the Angels more attractive to free agents because of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: his deep pockets and record of success with the Nuggets.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And the Rams and these other teams. So that's that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Now, Scoble praising Stan Kroenke as an owner who, quote,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: cares about winning, he said, and will invest in players,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the facilities, all that stuff, upgrading, you know, all the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: creature comforts the spoiled.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Baseball players need. You know, they all need those things.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And then They can't perform unless they have their latte
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: machines and all that. Now, speaking generally, he made sure
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to say, generally speaking, not about his own situation. No,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of course not. Scooble said players who previously would not
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: have considered the Angels may, that's a weasel word, may
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: now consider playing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: For that team.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: So the question, Dodger pitcher Tarek Scooble, who said players
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: who previously would not have thought about playing for the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Halos will now be willing to do that because of
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Stan Kroenke buying the team. Is this news or nonsense?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Is this news or nonsense? That's the question. So I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: trying to process this. Stan Kroenke arrives and suddenly the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Angels have now been discovered like Christopher Columbus sailing into
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the OC or something like that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Like, give me a bloody break. It's a bunch of nonsense.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Even Ozzy was down there. He knows it's nonsense. Anaheim,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this is going to blow you away, was never Pyongyang.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: You didn't need a State Department travel advisory to sign
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: with the Angels. And nobody, nobody was ever hanging garlic
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: around Angel Stadium to keep free agents away. That is nonsense.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It's revisionist history. Southern California has issues. There's a lot
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of stuff going on in California. They've never had a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: problem with the players wanting to come play in Southern California.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: The baseball operation was a problem. And even as big
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: a stooge as Artie Marino was, you couldn't call him
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a tightwad.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: He wasn't cheap. He repeatedly threw enormous amounts of money
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: into the fire pit that they had there behind the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Big A, top of the market free agents.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: His problem was not spending. It was spending like a dum-dum, stupidly.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And I saw the number which blew me away, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I knew it was a lot of money, but like, wow,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: almost a billion dollars. There was one group of marquee
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: players that were added in the Artie Marino ownership group.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: This is the Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, C.J. Wilson, Anthony Rendon,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and a couple of other guys. Anthony Rendon led it,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and that group was over $ 800 million in And they
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: delivered practically nothing. Every single one of those guys either
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: failed completely, had half a good year or were just zeros.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And so it's like Artie went grocery shopping.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He went down to the store.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: He had the platinum card and he repeatedly came home
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: with expired milk and cheese.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That had mold on it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You know, that black mold and the meat had stuff
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: growing on it. And Artie, couldn't you get some of
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the groceries that didn't have this?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I tried. I don't know what happened.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: His free agent batting average was so far below the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Mendoza line.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: How far was it?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It was so far below the Mendoza line that Mario
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Mendoza was filing a defamation suit against Artie Marino. The
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Angels weren't undesirables. They were incompetent. And that's the thing
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: about free agents. They'll go anywhere.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Anywhere.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They don't care. This idea, well, I've got to go
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to a team that's trying to win. No, no. Anthony
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Rendon was on a team in Washington that won the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: World Series. He didn't care.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: He certainly didn't want to live on the West Coast,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: didn't want to play baseball, hated baseball, but he signed
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: with the Angels because they offered him a ridiculous contract.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And that's it. All right, last thing. We go back
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to the courthouse.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: We have a update, update on Rabble Rouser, firebrand, former
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: NBA player, half-man, half-woman, Ennis Cantor Freedom. You might remember
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that he was ejected recently from a WNBA game in Chicago. Well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: we now have the rest of the story, as the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: late great radio man Paul Harvey would say.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: The rest of the story.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So former NBA player Enes Kanter-Freedom suing the Chicago Sky.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's a WNBA team.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Chicago and the authority operating the arena in Chicago are
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: also being sued there after he was ejected back on
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: August 23rd. And he was banned indefinitely because, man, Who
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: wants to be denied going to a WNBA game? So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Freedom is involved in this lawsuit, 15-page federal lawsuit, claims
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: his First Amendment rights were violated, and he posed no
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: safety threat at all.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Now that followed, there was a verbal.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Back and forth, some old-fashioned trash-talking between someone named Natasha
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Cloud and I'm told that's a guard for this WNBA team.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Freedom stood up and, you know, just hollering and all
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that stuff. Now, the WNBA team's claiming that he moved
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in an aggressive manner. From what I read, they're claiming
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: he moved in an aggressive manner, threatening Natasha Klein.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: This WNBA player.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened and all that. Again, it was
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: mostly a verbal situation. Security then came over and intervened,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and police escorted him out. Now, the Sky owner, some
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: rich dude, defended the ejection, saying that freedom was a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: potential threat. Yes. Now, he argued that the dispute is
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: ultimately about protecting his free speech rights.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: At least that's what his lawyer told him, so that's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: what he said. All right, question. What are the chances.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: that Ennis Cantor Freedom can actually beat the WNBA in
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: this legal kerfluffle, this lawsuit. So Cantor Freedom, he gets
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: booted from the game. He's handed this indefinite ban and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: all this stuff, right? And it's... It's essentially the equivalent
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: of saying, hey, there's a mosquito on the wall.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take care of it. Thank you. I'd really
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like you to take care of the mosquito. Okay, I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: going to go to the garage. I'll be right back.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Well, why are you going to the garage? Well, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: need to get something to kill the mosquito. Okay, please
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: come back, kill the mosquito. Okay, I'll come back, I'll
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: kill the mosquito. So you come back from the garage.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and your wife's like, well, kill the mosquito.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to do it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And then you turn on the flamethrower. Well, that's seemingly
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: unnecessary to kill a mosquito. You don't need a flamethrower
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to kill a mosquito.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Why'd you get a flamethrower? Well, we had it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Now, as for the question, as you know, I am not.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: A lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Express the other night. He actually has a decent case here.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not. It's a First Amendment case. And
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: let me explain why he's got a... I didn't say great.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I said a decent chance of getting something here. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: arena in Chicago, as I understand it, is publicly owned.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: That's something that pops up.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute. First Amendment, publicly owned arena.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Chicago police helped eject him from the news reports.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And the courts generally.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: if you look at some of these First Amendment stories,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: they take the viewpoint that discrimination on public property is
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a problem. And they look to protect your First Amendment
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: rights on public property. And again, as I understand it,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the arena in Chicago is owned by the leaders of Chicago.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: They're the people of Chicago. Now, was he actually a threat?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Or did Cantor Freedom stand up in a courtside seat
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Just to kind of get a reaction out of the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: WNBA wokester crowd and.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: All that stuff. Because I watched the play. Not that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I would ever watch these games. They're terrible. But I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: watched the highlight online.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And this, I guess, Natasha Cloud, what I saw looked
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: like she was charging at him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And it looked like she was the aggressor.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't really the security enforcement and all that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It was her that was like a rhino running over
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: an angry rhino.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Trying to get into Cantor and all that stuff. And
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: if she had just stayed back and ignored what he
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: was doing, it would not have escalated. She was the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: one that escalated the situation and went on a rampage
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: over to freedom.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: She attacked freedom.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Now, this guy gave Ennis Cantor freedom exactly what he wanted,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: maximum attention, maximum attention, by trying to silence the shirt
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And his takes on women's sports. they turned a simple
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: courtside heckler into a full-blown martyr of the culture war
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: so tremendous job a complete incompetence by everyone involved there
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and will video proof net him a massive payday that's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: highly unlikely he does have a realistic shot though of
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: having that lifetime ban lifted. So that's probably what's going
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to end up happening here. Considering it is a publicly
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: owned arena in Chicago, and he's claiming First.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Amendment, there is something there that he could win with.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maler Show, as.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: We are rolling, rolling, rolling through the overnight. And the
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: clock is a ticking. We'll take your calls. 877-99 on Fox.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: If you still want to yap about Lane Kiffin, also,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: he has won round one at LSU.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Against the Southeastern Conference.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And now we head into round two, where there will
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: be an emergency injunction from a federal judge, the SEC,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and all the big shots there desperately trying to put
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the kibosh on on Lane Kiffin and his plans of
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: bringing in all these bounce-back NFL players.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: So it certainly seems out.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Of bounds to most, but that's where we are right now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: 877-99 on Fox. Many people hoping that Lane Kiffin crashes
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and burns. We'll see if that happens or not. We'll
• 21:13

• 23:32
  Speaker 2: That's a Bronco fan. And we thank you. We thank you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: We thank you. We thank you in advance.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it we go.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And we'll start out with some amazing feedback from the P1s.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Hoosier Bill enjoying the new DraftKings commercial.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoy that. Thank you for that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Late Night Drug Tester says the main reason players avoid
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the Angels is because there's a constant cold front from Fullerton.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, who wants to play in a snowstorm in June?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. And it's the Arctic front there.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It's right where Ferg Dog lives year-round in a blizzard.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's really, really bad.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Shane in Des Moines writes in and says, My early
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: guess for food pics with Marcel is New York-style.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Pizza, cheesecake, and Coney Island dogs. Yeah, I don't think
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Hoosier Bill writes in, from socal his heart is in
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: indiana he says ben lane trippin wants to recruit a
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: bunch of ray finkels they are gone by next year
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: those rejects will have hamstring issues by week three pumping
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: gas by week five yeah it's just a volume situation
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: he's getting as many players in as he possibly can
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: doc dan says is being told to leave a wnba
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: game a punishment or a blessing Hey-oh, hey-oh.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Analog Al writes in.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: He says, he or she, freedom has a great case
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: and should prevail according to the law.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say great case.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I think he's got a good case because the arena
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: in Chicago is owned publicly, and typically most people try
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to settle these cases out of court anyway because it's
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: just cheaper.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Than going through all the rigmarole in court.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: The Steelers nasty writes and says nonsense. If Stan Kroenke
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: cares so much about winning, why is he worried about
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: going to the second apron as the Denver Nuggets owner?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Just another stingy billionaire from Steelers nasty.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Nuggets didn't win their championship, so Rocky's happy. He's he's celebrating.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Page down.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Jerry in a jar. You know it's a big night
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: when Jerry in a jar is giving commentary.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: He says, primetime has to have a winning season or
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: he's out. Then what?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: The Sanders dynasty will crumble. I would say Deion has
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: to have some success.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: They can't be as bad as they were last year.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he has to have a great
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: season because, let's be honest, Deion leaves Colorado. They are
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: completely irrelevant and It's not like they're going to.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Hire a great coach.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: They haven't had a good coach in like 30 years
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: before Deion. I think it was close to 30 years,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: something like that. So if you're Colorado, as long as
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: you're getting publicity and you're making money and Deion is
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: still able to do that, why would you get rid
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: of him? Mark the Walker says, not for nothing, Maller,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but UMass ain't no joke. Marcus Camby is a hell
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: of a quarterback.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Fair point. And I think John Calipari is a really
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. Really good coach. Really good coach for them.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Jeff, who's in Louisiana for some
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: hot Lane Kiffin talk.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Jeff? You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: Hello, Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, thanks for taking my call.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I have spent most of my life in Terrebonne Parish,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Lafourche Parish, Louisiana area. And for those of you that
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: don't know, those two parishes touch the Gulf of Mexico,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: so you can't get any further south. pretty much for
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: the most part for where I am. LSU fans, as
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: you probably already know, man, they're a different breed. I
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: feel like if there was a case study ever done
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: on an entire community of people that suffer from a
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: superiority complex and an inferiority complex at the same time,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: LSU would be the perfect place. plays for that, Baton Rouge.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: They're always looking for a fight. They always think the
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: world is against them, and they always reserve the right
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: to turn their nose up at people.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: And if I would have told you 10 years ago
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: that there's going to be a school, and I don't
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: mention the school's name, that's going to have Kim Mulkey,
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: Will Wade, and Lane Kiffin, and it's going to be
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: ground zero for this.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Earth-shattering, earth-moving college landscape decision-making with a little bit of sleaze,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: how many guesses would you have taken for you to
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: guess LSU?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, less than one hand, right? Less than one
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: hand at the very top. Yeah, no, for sure.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Listen, the Will Wade thing is also great. Like Will Wade,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he had all kinds of stuff that was on him,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and then he had to leave, and he came back,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: and it's crazy.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is nuts. But you're right. Listen, they
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: are fun, though.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I will say this, you know, they're fun to talk about.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: They do crazy things, Jeff, at LSU, right? There's a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: lot of weird stuff that goes on. They make it interesting.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Life's about being interesting, and they're definitely interesting.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You know, they are. Is that it? Are we done?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I think we're done.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: He's made his point, and he's moved on. And now
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: to make his point. A man who often gives his
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: dog Scooby Snacks in the middle of the night, his
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: dog Willis... His trusty companion. We say hello to a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: man who I met. We're friends now because we met
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: in real life.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Andre.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Andre.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre. Welcome.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: What's going on, Ben?
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Thanks for taking the call. We did meet in the
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: city of Worcester. Hardworking city of Worcester. Willis, who's whining
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: right now. He couldn't be there in attendance, even though
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: he wanted to be. But it was a good trip,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: good Malamute and great. Certainly, you know, privileged to meet
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: a Bronco fan in Coop and then certainly Lorena, who inspired,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: you know, me going back to my roots in the
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: awesome 80s for the Malapalooza with some Bell, Big DeVoe.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: You know, we're thinking about this. staff who's toughing it
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: out right now better. You know what I mean? Coming
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: in when they're under the weather. You know, I hope
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: everything is good. Of course, when you're in doubt, you
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: got to go to the Robitussin. You know what I mean?
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: When you're not feeling right.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: That's your go-to? That's your, you, because you, let me guess.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: My go-to, Chris Rock, you know, we know the Tussin
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: can heal anything from the common cold to a micro
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: fracture in your knee. Because the Tussin can get you right.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, I hear you.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: But is it possible that when Andre was a young pup,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: when you were growing up, were you given Robitussin as
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: a child?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: No doubt. Were you given that?
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: No doubt, man. That's why. I had difficulty.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I had difficulty then, still have difficulty, because I'm not
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: inclined to it. So I got to, you know what
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: I mean? I remember, you know, the glory days, the
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: good old days. You know, your parents, your grandparents would say,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: you got to hold your nose, because it was difficult.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: That swig was difficult, even though it got you right.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Hold your nose, because I
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: would cough and all that stuff. You know what I mean? Then, now,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: always touching. Okay? Now, Ben, you touched on a number
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: of things, right? At the previous call, we got that
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: real down-home perspective. I was resonating. He's from the Bayou,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Baton Rouge. You know, even though I'm a Northeasterner, I
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: don't think I'm better than anybody. And I got to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: give a shout-out to David Simons. Second work, the Treme,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: which people have to check out, all about New Orleans
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: after the flood. We know that The Wire, why they
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: consider it the greatest television show of all time. But people,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: you've got to get on that Treme to give you
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: that down south, that New Orleans feel. I'm not trying
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: to act like I'm from there, but I certainly did
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: glean a lot from the coach. It's out of pocket
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: what Lane Kiffin's doing, Ben, but fool me once, shame
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. He's always
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: been like this. But what surprises me, I'm happy the
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: other schools are stepping up, even though it's late. It's
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: probably going to go to. They can't stop it. But
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: people are like, oh, we're not going to tolerate this
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: shot yet. They should have been on board beforehand. The
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: changes in college football that are going to happen going forward,
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: you can only play five years. You've got five years
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: to do four. Those are going to happen next year,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: maybe the year after that. But it is, I do
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: like that people are pushing back. And Lane, you know, LSU,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: if you're not cheating, you're not trying. So they knew
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: who Lane was. This is who he's always been. He
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: was at Tennessee for a year. He said he was
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: going to, you know, go down with the ship, be
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: like Peyton Manning, you know, loyal to the USC, offered
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: him a bag. He was gone. Never to be seen again.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: And he's been the same his entire career. So it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: no surprise what he's doing. I like the conversation that
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: we're having and people trying to get back to a
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: sense of standing. Now, Ben, in conclusion, I got other calls, right? Listen,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: the situation with the lawyers, we know what we have
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to do, Ben. We got to call Saul. You better
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: call Saul when you– you know what I mean?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, call Saul. Give him a call. See if he's–
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be sleeping right now.
• 32:31

• 33:10
  Speaker 2: He points out that Rutgers was a minus 8,000 favorite.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: On the money line versus UMass. Now, to put that in.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Perspective, that means the Expected odds, the implied probability of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Rutgers just winning. They didn't have to cover the spread.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: They were 29.5-point favorites in the game. Just win the
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: game outright, not lose the game. The money line, minus 8,000,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: meaning you bet 8,000, you.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Win $ 100. That was a 98.7% chance that Rutgers was
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: going to win the game, and they lost by over
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Over.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Two touchdowns. Man alive. Man, man alive. DJ Smith there

  Speaker 3: All right.

  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Maler show. Oh, Dolly, by the way,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Tennessee will make a Dolly Parton song. It's new fourth
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: quarter anthem at Neyland Stadium. So Danny White announced that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: They have not announced which Dolly Parton song will be
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the song. So we'll have to talk more about that later.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: We don't have time for that now, but we can
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: certainly do that.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I think we'll have to do that at some point.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: We will have some time for it. We'll do the.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: We can't do it right now. We'll do the instant trivia.

  Speaker 2: The record for the most career at-bats by a non-pitcher
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: without getting a hit, meaning you're in the major leagues,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: you have the most at-bats without getting a hit, you're
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: not a pitcher, is 23 at-bats. That mark is shared
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: by blank and blank. Either answer I'll give you credit for.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And that is the instant trivia. The answer next.

• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the third degree coming up. We'll do something a little
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: different here. The record for the most career at bats
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball by a non-pitcher never getting a hit,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: so going without a hit, is 23 at bats. That
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: mark is shared by blank and blank. That is the question.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: What is the answer?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And let's see. Does anyone know the answer? Fran Tarkington
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: guessed by Femi. Gary Busey from ALF. Calbert Chaney from
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Shane in Des Moines.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin's Rotary Club membership from Michael in Tulsa. Chris
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Davis from Robbie the Mariner fan.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Who else do we have? That bum number one, Freddie Freeman.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Who else?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: McGuire and Sosa off steroids from Josh. Heckle and Jekyll
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: from Rebecca the Ram fan. Eric Karras from DJ Spin
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Patrick in San Diego. Rob in the 3-2-1 going with
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: That's his answer. Tom and Jerry from Nick. Mr.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Whipple, the legend from JT, the wingman. What say you, Lorena?
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I got to go with Cosmo and Wanda.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Are those the correct answers? No.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Somebody named Mike Porter and another guy named Larry Littleton
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: both played for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1970s.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: They played parts of two years. They had 23 at-bats,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: went 0 for 23, and were out of baseball. Never
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: got a hit.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Never got a hit. I don't know. That's right. You know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it's also... It's Maller. How about that?
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: To the third degree. This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Koopaloo!
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: When asked about the importance of beating the Jets in
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: Week 1, Titans coach Robert Salas said, our desire to
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: win in Week 1 and beat the Jets is because
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: it's Week 1 and nothing more, adding that he doesn't
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: hold grudges. Ben, the Jets aren't exactly expected to be great.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: It's kind of a crappy matchup, but do you think
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: that's one that the Titans can win?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: The Titans and Jets are pretty similar teams, and Robert Salah's.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Full of crap. Obviously, human nature. The Jets fired him.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: He wants to get revenge, and if the Titans do win,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: they should win that game.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: He'll come out afterwards. Oh, yeah, it meant a little
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: more and all that.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Next!
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the Jets, the team worked out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: A number of kickers on Wednesday, and Justin Tucker was
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: among them. Ben, no one signed Tucker after his 10-game
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: suspension last year. Do you think he'll find a new
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: home this year? Well, the Jets would be perfect because
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: they're not really an NFL team, so it's like a safe.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Space to go play for the Jets and all that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: The fact that he's getting a look and he's a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: kicker and they're not really football players....
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I'd say the chances aren't great, but it's about 200,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: like a 200 batting average there.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Whoever signs him, be ready for the attack online.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Next!
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Mariners won the AL West for the first time in
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: 25 years last season. This year, it looks like they
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: may miss the playoffs altogether. Dan Wilson's probably out at
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: the end of the season. Randy at Rose Arena is
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: reportedly going to be gone. Do you think Seattle will
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: reload and get back into competing, or is Seattle in
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: for another long drought?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just going to try to be average Koopas.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: They don't care about winning. They want to be average, unfortunately.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: How'd we do?
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: How'd we do?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: How'd we do? How'd we do? I passed. I passed.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: That's a win. The wait is over.
