• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And here we are united. We spend so much blood,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: sweat and tears, well not a lot of blood, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: sweat and tears getting ready for the selection show. In
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the NFL, A lot of valuable talk radio real estate
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: is spent going over the cold hard facts of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: biggest event of the NFL calendar this time of the year.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And that is our lead story from the Draft. They're
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a madhouse in Pittsburgh as this was the crown jewel
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: until we get real football in September, and a big
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: social event selling hope by the gallon, hope and optimism
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: by the gallon. Your team sucks, rocks. Your team has
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: been on a ten year journey on the vomit comet. However,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: now it's all going to be better because you drafted
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: some punk in the first round. Congratulations, Way to go boys,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it's all going to be better. I know the last
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: ten years you've had top picks and your team sucks still,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but at this time it's going to be different. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: were you watching? They tightened up the first round eight
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: minutes between picks, so they tried to make it a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: little bit smoother because none of you have attention spans.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You can't handle a longated, elongated draft. So my strategy
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is what I I did is I clicked a little
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: timer of a watch. And I'm one of those people
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: with watches. If I clicked a little timer as soon
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: as it went to eight minutes for the next pick,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I set my timer for seven minutes, and I knew
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I had seven minutes to watch some crappy basketball, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I flipped over my hand was getting workout. I flipped
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: over that basketball and I watched a solid seven minutes
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the pro bouncy ball, and then I flipped back
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to watch the next pick. How about that? You know
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: what that is? Kids? Multitasking, That's what that is. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the Raiders? How upset? Must Mark Davis be? The Raiders
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: had the top pick, they took Fernando Mendoza, and nobody cares.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about this. Nobody gives a rats ass about
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza. Wild the Jets at number two, they took
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: somebody we've never heard of from Texas Tech named David Bailey,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and he went number two. And then the Cardinals took
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a guy that we hope is good because he's got
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a great name, Jeremiah Love on the Love Train from
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. The Golden Domer went number three. More on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: those picks later. The real story that everyone's talking about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's all about publicity. It's all about the hype. It's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all about those things. The Rams, the Rams. You can
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: ram it all day, you can ram it all draft night.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The big surprise here at pick number thirteen in the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: first round, the Rams decided to ram it as they
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: drafted the former Alabama quarterback o It didn't play very
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: much at Alabama. Yikes, quarterback Ty Simpson. Who who? Yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that's what everyone is talking about. Every man, woman and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: child that gives a rats ass about football's talking about
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that pick. Not the Raiders, not the Jets, not the Cardinals,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not the Giants, not the Patriot. It's the Rams. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: let us discuss good jumping off point the question the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Rams decision to take Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, who only
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: played one year at Alabama as a starter. Do you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: love it or list it? So my thoughts on this,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've got Wimbledon toys are us and small mouth bass,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we are as hungry as a wolf, all right, that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what we are, hungry like a wolf. So a you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: might think that I'm just going to give a ringing
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: endorsement to this pick. From a publicity standpoint, the Rams
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: killed it. They absolutely killed it. I mean I had
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I had all these trolls coming out. They're like, oh man,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this is you know Perito. I think he had a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: little bit of a chubby. He was so excited with
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: his pick. You had ostrich An, No stred Denis the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: paranoid twelfth Man. They were all all up in arms.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Judge read like all these guys, all these guys, And
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm like, wow, this is like
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the Rams really matter, Like you guys are all worked up,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and I love that. I'm now the spokeshack for the Rams.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Which I'm not. But to get back to the question,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do you love it or list it to Ty Simpson pick,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm slapping a big fat sticker that says listed right there.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: All right, it's again publicity wise great. I don't love it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't love the pick. This is the Rams walking
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: into a silent auction and beating against themselves like a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: drunk guy like j Dot in Utah at a charity event.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Ty Simpson is a top fifteen pick my fat ass, right.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That is not a reach. Okay, that is a full
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: body lunge into the grand canyon right off the cliff.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Is what it is, and it's unnecessary. I go. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: use this word a lot, but I don't know what
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the word to use. Hubris. It's hubris. It's the pure arrogance.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: This is a Wimbledon style unforced error gift wrapped with
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a bow. Ty Simpson was sitting there and the consensus
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was this guy is a second round talent. Like we've
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: talked about Fernando Mendoz, there's not even a second round talent.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Fernanda Mendoz is like a fourth round talent. But Ty
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Simpson is a second round talent. You draft unmeasurables you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: draft on all those things you don't draft because I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: kind of like the guy and he played for Nick Saban.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He's a second round level talent. And you're sitting there,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you're twiddling your thumbs, and the Rams they said, you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: know what, let's set the market on fire for no
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: reason at all. And the question I have is, who
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: were they out maneuver? Is there some imaginary boogeyman general
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: manager that was going to take Ty Simpson? Because I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: don't see it. I didn't see it at all. And meanwhile,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you know, what's Matthew Stafford supposed to think. I know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of spin cycle going on with the Rams,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, this is so they're trying to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: present it like they're the smartest people in the room. Again,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I go back to the word, Hubris, this is offensive.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You've got a Super Bowl eight team, the Seahawks. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: only reason they got by you is because some NFL
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: official gave them a two point conversion, one of the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: most bogus plays in the history of the NFL. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: so you were already essentially better than Seattle without the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: NFL giving the Seahawks that ridiculous two point conversion during
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the regular season that turned that whole thing and gave
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: them the home game. So that was ridiculous. And then
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you said, okay, hold my beer. Is what you said.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You're a super Bowl heavyweight, and you've acted like a flyweight.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Instead of grabbing a difference maker, a legitimate big time
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: pass rush, a Kanda or a road grading Barrakuda, you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: drafted someone who, if everything goes right, will not play
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a freaking down for the twenty twenty six years. Do
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you understand how dumb that is. You're this close to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: winning another Super Bowl and you took a guy, if
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: everything goes right, he will play as much as I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: will and you will. Dumb dudum dumb dumb. I mean seriously,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you did this on purpose? Like you before the draft,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: he say, okay, everyone, let's take the stupid pills, all right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Continuing the theme here the page two. So former Alabama
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: coach Nick Saban, there was like seven different versions of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the draft. I I just watched the one with milk kiper.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't need seven different versions of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the draft. I just need one. I just need one version.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That's it. So anyway, Nick Saban apparently was on some
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: other version of the draft. I didn't watch it, but
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I saw the quote going around. The former BAMA coach
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: gave Tye Simpson a glowing review after he was picked
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: by the Rams at thirteen overall. Simpson, according to Saban,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: this is a quote Simpson is in the best situation
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he can be in your best means as good as
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: all the rest. Going to an organization. Quote continues that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: has a veteran quarterback and he will not have to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: play immediately and have a chance to develop. It's perfect, perfect, perfect,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: three perfects, three perfects. All right, question, how much value
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: do you put in Nick Sabin giving a ringing endorsement
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to quarterback Tye Simpson going to La La Land with
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the Rams. So we are giving this massive side. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in my head, Sabin while he was saying this, was
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: holding pom poms, Alabama pom Poms, and he had a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: cheerleading outfit on. And if this was a court case,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you'd say, your honor, that is a biased witness in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the room. The witness is compromised, you would say, Nick Saban.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban is still on the Alabama pay roll. He
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: is making more than I'm making. He's making more than
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you're making. He's making more than I would say ninety
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: eight percent of the people that hear this show. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I could be going low on that. Nick Saban is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: still getting five hundred thousand dollars a year for essentially
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a Kawhi Leentard no show job. He's getting five hundred
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: thousand just to kind of be Nick Saban. It's and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he's the ultimate Bama salesman and business is booming now.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Regardless of all that, here's the cold, hard reality when
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you spend a first round pick. I have been very
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: consistent that I have a jaded opinion of the draft.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: We know that if you've been with me at all
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: over the years, been here a long time, I am
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not a big draft guy. I think it's a nuisance.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's false hope, it's bull crap a lot of it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It's a necessary evil. I don't have to like it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I don't have to like it. But the whole point
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of this is at the very top in the first round,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the whole reason to try to get a high draft pick,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and this came from the Atlanta Falcons. But you're trying
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to you're trying to draft eye because you get a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: plug and play star, sometimes a superstar, but a plug
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and play starter, which means no assembly required right out
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of the box. Your mom and dad don't have to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: build the toy. It's already ready to go. Out of
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the box, batteries included. Ty Simpson, you're not that guy, Palt,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not even close. Not even Nick Saban's like, oh you
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: will not have to play me? Well, yes, you just
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban saying the Rams made mistake with this pick.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Simpson is the toys r us kid. He's on the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: layaway plan for the Rams, and Sean McVay, I can't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: imagine he's happy about this, but the draft and stash
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: special for the Rams. Here where the Rams. The plan
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is to hold on to tie Simpson for a while
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: while he practices in different installments, and you only see
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: him on the field once the bill is fully paid
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in a few years, unless something goes terribly wrong. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: my position is you don't burn a first round pick
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: on a developmental project that gets you fired. It does. Now,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: this could work out, and I certainly hope it does,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: but that's not wise, that's not savvy. If you need
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a blueprint and a toolkit, and to hire somebody to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: come in and help you, you know, to get a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: guy on the field. He doesn't belong drafted in the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: first round, certainly not the top fifteen of the draft.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: This is thirteenth overall period. So the Rams treating the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: first round like it's a savings bond and you had
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a shot, you know, and I'll remember this, you know.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: The Rams will be deep in the playoffs again, they
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: always are. It's a birthrise of Ram fam with Sean McVay.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They're always deep in the playoffs. And you'll get to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that game he'd be like, Wow, we have one more player.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I wonder how we could have gotten one more effing player.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh look, there's Ty Simpson. He's got hemorrhoids sitting on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the bench watching all this. It's wild, it is, you know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you look at the different ways. Oh wow, if everything
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: goes right, it's like, well, he's going to be Joe Burr. Okay,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. It's much more
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: likely he's Mac Jones, who also didn't play at Alabama
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: until the very end of his time at Alabama. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it's not a very good NFL quarterback, right, not a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: very good quarterback in the NFL. Right now, the last
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: word here, I want to address something that's a pet
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: peeve of mine, and I have a bully pulpit, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to use the bully pulpit right now out
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to do there. So I just sit back and relax.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell with I think it was like pick twenty
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: nine or thirty. Goodell got up there and he claimed
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that the NFL Draft attendance was three hundred and twenty
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: thousand people attended the first round of the NFL Draft
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: on Thursday in Pittsburgh and claim this was a new
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: record for the first round. You know, give himself, little
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: pat him back there the whole thing. So the question
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is this, how believable? How believable is that three hundred
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand attendance figure that Roger Goodell tossed out for
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. So I thought about this, and I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: looked at the crowd shots and there obviously a lot
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of people there. It's about a sturdy as a paper bridge.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's got some really great bridges. It's a beautiful city.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: If you've never been there, it's a really nice city.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I love skylines and bridges and it's just beautiful. And
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it's like one of those bridges made out of paper
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in a rainstorm. And this is the classic fuzzy math
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and we goof on it. I did one of my
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: podcasts with Terry and England, who was on. He's a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: big NFL fan. We were talking about we were actually
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: busting balls because Terry lives he doesn't have in London,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he lives out in the sticks. But he talked about
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: how ridiculous the NFL attendance figures were for some of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the games in London, some of the events in London.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And this is more of the same. And one the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: NFL kind of controls the media, so not kind of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they do, and so no one questions it. But the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: NFL doing its best Pittsburgh impression of population inflation without
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the census paperwork. What are they just? They say, Okay,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: somebody estimate how many people here. Okay, let's say three
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty thousand, not three hundred nineteen thousand or three
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one thousand, three hundred and twenty thousand people. Right,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you're selling something there. It's not a verifiable headcount, not
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a verifiable headcount. It's straight out of a Wolf of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Wall Street. It is fud gayzy foo ghazi. It's fairy dust,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And a reminder, if you say
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: something loud enough and you control the media, people just
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: nod alone. Now I know it's not a big deal,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and so who cares. It's just an attendance figure. It's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: just offensive to me. And three hundred and twenty thousand people.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Do you understand the population of Pittsburgh That is more
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: than the actual population of Pittsburgh. Okay, So I know
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of people came in for the draft. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: get that. I'm not naive to that fact. And Pittsburgh
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: geographically is close to a lot of places where it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a reasonable drive to get to. So unless though you
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: are stacking humans like you know, like you would stack pancakes,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and everyone that passed by within that area, within that
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: radius and you just put them out there, it just
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it just smells. So I have the malord theory on
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the attendance for the draft. The NFL added the aquatic demogram.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Now this has never been done before. The aquatic demographic.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They counted all of the small Mouth Bass, the Walleye,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and the Allegheny and the Mononga Heler where they formed
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the Ohio River there, and they even included the passing
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: pigeons who were dropping bird turd on the people as
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they were walking into the draft. They were all included
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: as living creatures. That's how they got the three hundred
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and twenty thousand. They also included some rats, some cockroaches
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as well. So congratulations the NFL, you just did not
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: stretch the truth. You drafted fiction in the first round. Congratulations.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Way to go, Bravo, Bravo.

• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So we're back at it our lead this hour from
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back to the twenty twenty
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: six NFL Draft where the had the top pick. The
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Rams were the team that everyone was talking about as
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: they did the thing that they weren't supposed to do
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: at the time. They were not supposed to do it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And so get all your insults ready. I know many
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of you boys lose your mind, You have a hissy fit,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you act like children. Oh you're talking about basketball? Why
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: are you doing that? Yeah, So I explained this last
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: hour those of you that are a little late to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the party. The way I watched the draft is I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: had the timer on my watch here might have like
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: an Apple watch thing. So I watched the pick, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: then I set my timer for seven minutes, because there's
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: eight minutes between picks, So I set my timer for
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: seven minutes. After the pick was announced and they went out,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they had little moment if they were at the draft
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: with Goodell. I set for seven minutes, and then I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: flipped over and I watched the basketball. So it's called multitasking,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: All right, did you flip around? Perhaps not so. Really,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing is a good mitch for here giving
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you the information that you need. The big headline from
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the atl where CEJ McCollum, who we last heard of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: years ago when he was on the Oregon Trail with
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a Trailblazer CJ McCollum hitting a fade away jumper with
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: twelve and a half seconds left to really upset the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: New York fan base. There yet again the Hawks, another
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: last second win, one oh nine to one oh eight.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: They get the victory, and so that means, if my
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: malor math is correct, Atlanta is now two wins away
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: from advancing and eliminating the Knickerbockers in the first round
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Holy upset, Batman. The better story, though,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room and we're gonna focus.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: We love losers. The Ben Mahler Show openly supports losers,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and the Knicks at the very top of the loser
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: list right now. So it's good jumping off point. Let
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question who gets the biggest slice of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the dollar blame pizza. I think it's now two dollars
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for the Knicks. So my observations, I've got Firebug, Salvation, Army,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and double decker, and we will combine all of these
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to be on firm ground,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: on firm ground, so we always start with number all right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: enough stop stop stop stop all right. So Jalen Brunson,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the Brunsen Burner. Now, normally when Brunson's out there, the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: other team is at a disadvantage. Brunson has been unable
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to work out the kinks. And at the end of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: this game, the superstar player, mister Everything dancing on air,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson turned into a fire bug. At closing time, Brunson,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the heavy hitter, I demand that destroys everybody, Captain Clutch,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, all the hero worship for the New
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: York basketball fan. And he went out there like a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: bad closer in baseball, and he served up a hanging
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: meatball cow boom in crunch time. The Knicks had the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: ball down one with plenty of time to go right
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: over twelve seconds. They didn't even get an attempt to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: win the game. You know what that is, arson is
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: what that is. That's basketball malpractice, is what that is. Now.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: We love the player, we're fans of Jalen Brunson. I
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: thought he was a one hit wonder. He played very
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: well one of the many years Luke has gotten hurt.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It happens a lot for the Mavericks, and I thought, well,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he can't do that again. He's taking his game to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a new level. Good job by him. So I like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the player. However, this is some funky music right now.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: He's in a funk. And the Knicks three games in
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: here and then they're not looking so good. Close games,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: winnable games, and they're not getting done here. They're doing
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a swan dive and they need a defiberator. Get some
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: oxygen going here. Now, then you've got the sideline. You know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: we start with Jalen Brunson because he didn't he had
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the ball. They had trouble to get him the ball
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: he had the ball and he ended up running into
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the baseline. He couldn't get a shot off. He was
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: at a weird angle. He tried to throw the ball
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to heart, couldn't get the ball. Time ran out. How
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: about Mike Brown catching strays? Mike Brown, that's the coach.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: When people talk about what kind of coach Mike Brown is,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: they don't say he's a good coach. They don't say
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: he's a bad coach. They say is a nice coach.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Yeah, not a great coach, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: nice guy. You know, you want to invite him over
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to a party, have a drink with him, you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: tell stories. Don't want him coach on your basketball team.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Somebody didn't tell the Knicks that the Dolean empire here.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Now we as we anticipated, this is hot take validation.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: This is a downgrade from Tibbs. It is Uncle Moe
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: knows that. Everyone knows that, even Marcel and Brooklyn knows that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: And don't forget about Karl Anthony Towns who did it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Yet again, the roller coaster stats don't look that bad.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And yet you look at what actually happened there late
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in the game and living up to the hype as
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a guy that vanishes two points in the fourth quarter
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: did not make a field goal. I think that's two
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: games in a row now where he did not make
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a field goal in the fourth quarter. I think I'm
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: right on there. So some faulty spark plug action there,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: must win momut. Now those guys were all bad. How
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: about McHale Bridges, the guy that missed the shot that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: would have could have won the game for the Knicks
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: conceivably in Game two. McKale Bridges, he was so bad.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: How bad was he? He was thinking, why are you yelling?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: He was so bad that he ended up getting benched.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And he actually served eggs, not scramble, They were not
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: over easy. They were called goose eggs. He was invisible
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and one of the most amazing box scoring if you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: watch the game, he was actually lived up to this.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: But just look at the raw numbers here. While he
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was on the court, he played about twenty minutes or so.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: The Knicks were outscored by twenty six points with him
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on the court twenty six. It's not exactly helping the cause.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: That's actively hurting the cause, is what that is. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: so now the Knicks face a must win Game four
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to avoid falling into the depths of hell and being
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: down three games to one to Atlanta with CJ McCollum,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: who's kicking your freaking ass right now? Congratulations? All right?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Now we go to oh come, we go to Toronto.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago. One of the great drops
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on the show Roberto, a bus driver put that in.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I believe it was. I think it was Roberto, maybe not.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The coach of the Toronto Raptors very upset because of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: some WWE style officiating helping the Lakers, because the Lakers
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: always get help and then complain, so the officials deemed
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it necessary this one night to just give the Lakers
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: a win. And the coach of the Raptors came out
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and just started ranting and raving. One of the things
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that he said is Scotty Barnes, superstar face of the NBA.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes, all star, right, And we all laughed and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: we thought, well, that's funny. Scotty Barnes not exactly winning hearts,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: minds and souls. Well, Barnes went out in a game
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that you probably did not watch because you were watching
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the Draft on Thursday. Scotty Barnes had a career playoff
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: high thirty three points and eleven rebounds. Yeah, even Nico
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver. Our buddies like, wow, that's kind of cool. RJ.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Barrett added a career playoff I thirty three points and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the Raptors beat Cleveland one twenty six to one oh
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: four on Thursday night. So they snapped a twelve game
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: playoff losing streak against the Cadavers. Of course, that was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: back when some guy named Lebron played there, and so
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Toronto gets on the board. A lot of physical there,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: battle across the board. So Cleveland still leads this particular
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: playoff series. However, the question how do you describe the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Cavaliers gag? It was a close game going to the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, but how do you describe the gag late
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the game? And lost there in Canada for the Calves.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: So this was not a game, it was a movie trailer.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It was a preview of coming attractions and spoiler alert,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert, it's a preview of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: For Cleveland, things were humming along. Two point game anyone's
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: game toss up. Entering the fourth quarter, Toronto had a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: two point lead. Nothing to see here, at all, nothing
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to see here at all. Two point game, and then
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: it happened. A motley crew of Toronto Raptors went out
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: there and kicked ass. Why did they kick ass? Because
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: a trap door opened up and boom boom boom boom boom,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: gone right on. C You got playoff, Harden, You got it,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you got play had that taste? How did playoff hard
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and taste? Cleveland? Did you like that? Yeah? Tender not timber,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: tender box floating on the lazy river, no paddle at all.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Dazed and confused. I saw the look. I saw the look.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I've seen it. I saw it when he played for
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: my clips. I saw it with the rockhets everywhere he's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: been the same look. Playoff, Harden, It happens. So that
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: was a reminder. Harden reminded everyone who cares about basketball
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: exactly who this guy is. The lights get bright and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: he disappears, and he's hiding behind that Beard out, worked out,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: hustled out everything. He played less than seven minutes. Harden
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in the fourth court again start a fourth quarter two
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: point game. While he was out there, the Calves got
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: nuked by twenty two points, which seems like some kind
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of mistake. It was not. And when I was flipping
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: over in between draft picks and I was watching this,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, that's the Harden. I remember, that's the guy.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: That's my guy, playoff Harden. So this was not impact.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: This was actual sabotage. He was going around point gasoline
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: on the game and then he said, I got a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: cigarette light, let's see what happens, and the cherry on top. Overall, Harden.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Most of the damage was done in the fourth quarter.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: But overall Harden had eight turnovers eight eight a snowman
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: passing the ball around like the Salvation Army at Christmas.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Very generous, very very generous. The Salvation Army has the kettle.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: James Harden has the basketball. And this was not a choke. Again,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this was the trailer of a Netflix docu series on collapses.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: My final point. Now we go to Minnesota where Femi
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and Eke and Al and all our guys in Minnesota.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Very excited here because Jade and Daniels, he talked to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: talk and he walked the walk. Jade and Daniels, who
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: had talked some trash the other day, went out and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: how did he do twenty points, ten rebounds of Partridge
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: in the pear Tree and the Timberwolves who absolutely ambushed
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets. And it was wild how bad Denver played
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in this. It was over early and they were on
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Easy Street, and they seized advantage of this game. And
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: now up and onward we go for Minnesota. They're up
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: two games to one in the first round of the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: NBA playoff Series. The final score was the spread was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: seventeen at the end. It was not that close. So
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Game three on Thursday night goes to the team from Minnesota.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: The question better story in the losing locker room, So
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: where or where did it all go wrong for Nikola
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Jokicic and the Nuggets in the Twin Cities. Where did
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: it go wrong? So after a minutes long Mallard review
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of what I watched and also looking at all of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the important information, I have determined that the problem the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Nuggets had is that when they got on the bus
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: from the hotel, they went down to a McDonald's and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they ordered a twenty piece chicken nugget, and then the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: players got off the bus. They stumbled and bumbled off
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the bus and the bus kept going, and then they
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: actually put the chicken nuggets out there of course, the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: chicken nuggets from McDonald's would have put more of a
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: fight up than the players for the Denver Nuggets did.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's not basketball. This was a trip
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to Harvard Yard, a Harvard boat race. Denver showed up.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: They were like, well, okay, we're chicken nuggets. We don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: have any arms, so we can't row anything. And the joker,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: he certainly went Harvard in this game. This was an
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: open book test, an open book test, and he forgot
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: his pencil. Who goofed? I've got to know. The Nuggets
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: never even sniffed a lead, not once. That is not competition.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: The entire Denver team they enjoyed a double decker hop
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and hop on, hop off sightseeing toward bus. You see
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it in all the big cities, those double decker buses.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: They opened the game coughing up a gigantic fur ball
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the size of Lake Minnetonka. It was that big. The
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: team from Colorado bricking everything in sight. They shot in
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the first quarter. They took twenty one shots, they missed
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: eighteen of them, shot less than fifteen percent, fell behind
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: only by fourteen, but eleven points in twelve minutes, and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it was the entire beginning of the game. Holy Canola,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: you blow. You talk about comment during the vomit comet,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Denver sucking at a time he cannot suck, and falling
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: behind by twenty seven points over the first twenty seven
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: minutes of the game. Every minute they played they got
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: outscored by at least a point. For the first twenty
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: seven minutes. They didn't just tumble, they absolutely defecated. They
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: publicly soiled their pants. There was skid marks all over
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the place. And Jamal Murray, now we're ripping jokicch and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: all that. Jamal Murray though took seventeen shots, he missed
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: twelve of them. And I've diagnosed him in this game
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: with leaking gut syndrome, no rhythm, no backbone, no resistance.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: The Timberwolves did not beat them. Denver just self destructive.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: What was that you talk about not being locked and loaded. Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Minnesota was obviously locking loaded. That's fine. It's not a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: regular season back to back on a random Tuesday night
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: where you're just trying to get through the game. This
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: is a playoff playoffs, all right? Is the Ben Malor
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Show If you'd like to be part. Obviously, we'll get
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: back to the NFL Draft. The first round is in
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the books, and did not get We got trades. We
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: didn't get the sexy trades I was hoping for. Didn't
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: get the sexy trades. Oh, it's all but official now
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: these the Eagles are trading AJ Brown. They traded up
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to draft the wide receiver. It's fair to say you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: don't have to be mister Lombardi to know that that
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: means they're going to trade AJ Brown.
• 34:34
