Speaker 1: He's a Michigan man.
0:20
Speaker 2: He says that Justin Herbert's criticism in the media is
0:24
Speaker 2: completely unfair after his playoff performance. Does Herbert deserve a
0:29
Speaker 2: pardon for sucking at a time you cannot suck? Also,
0:33
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh said to have heart and hip surgery this offseason.
0:38
Speaker 2: How does that hit you? And talk out of Cleveland
0:42
Speaker 2: that Deshaun Watson's injury led to a different energy in
0:44
Speaker 2: the Browns locker room. Can you decipher what that really means?
0:48
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of it and who knows what
0:50
Speaker 2: else here it is our number two. That's my quarterback.

Speaker 2: in Roseville love the number ten thousand, big fans of
1:59
Speaker 2: the number ten thousand. So our lead this hour begin
2:02
Speaker 2: is from the fallout from a playoff elimination. We spent
2:09
Speaker 2: a lot of valuable talk Rado real Estate this week
2:11
Speaker 2: talking about the Steelers, a couple of stories out of Pittsburgh.
2:16
Speaker 2: We have not spent much time talking about the team
2:18
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles that also has been exterminated from the playoffs.
2:24
Speaker 2: And our lead this hour is from LA the eulogy
2:27
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty four Chargers, who finished their season
2:32
Speaker 2: with a dud and out of whack performance in Houston.
2:37
Speaker 2: Much of the focus on that play was from the
2:40
Speaker 2: quarterback of the LA football team. Now, Jim Harbaugh addressed
2:44
Speaker 2: the HeLa monster.
2:46
Speaker 5: In the room.
2:47
Speaker 2: If you did not hear what he had to say,
2:49
Speaker 2: we have some audio. We're gonna play for you. So
2:51
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh said that the criticism of Justin Herbert, his quarterback, unwarranted, unwarranted,
3:00
Speaker 2: and well, rather than me tell you what he said,
3:02
Speaker 2: let's go to the audio tape.
3:03
Speaker 1: Here's Jim harbaugh My responsibility.
3:05
Speaker 6: We did not put him in We did him in
3:07
Speaker 6: disservice and didn't put him in the positions to be
3:12
Speaker 6: successful enough. But he played like a beast. I mean,
3:15
Speaker 6: there's nobody And that was your question, how do I
3:18
Speaker 6: think he played? Yeah, after watching the tape, you know
3:20
Speaker 6: I I second that double down on that statement. There's nobody.
3:25
Speaker 6: There's nobody in this entire organization who gives more blood,
3:29
Speaker 6: sweat and tears and contributes more, produces more for the
3:34
Speaker 6: entire organization than Justin's Justin Herbert.
3:38
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I think you missed a spot. All right,
3:40
Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh,
3:45
Speaker 2: as you just heard, says Justin Herbert's criticism there, but
3:48
Speaker 2: he says, just as I said, it was unfair, he
3:49
Speaker 2: actually did say the words unfair at one point. Does
3:52
Speaker 2: Herbert deserve a pardon? Does he deserve a pardon for
3:57
Speaker 2: his playoff performance or lack thereof playoff performance. So I
4:00
Speaker 2: have Hurricane Penguin and seven to eleven, and we will
4:05
Speaker 2: combine all of these things together and we are going
4:09
Speaker 2: to make a moneyball, something the Clippers made a lot
4:11
Speaker 2: of when they won their basketball game by fifty nine points.
4:14
Speaker 2: That's a real professional sports game where one team was
4:17
Speaker 2: fifty nine points better than.
4:19
Speaker 1: The other team.
4:19
Speaker 2: All right, So to answer the question Jim Harball making
4:23
Speaker 2: the statement, it's unfair, the criticism completely unfair and all that.
4:27
Speaker 2: Does Herbert deserve a pardon? Absolutely not. There are no
4:33
Speaker 2: partons handed out, And we get that. Jim Harbaugh has
4:37
Speaker 2: to say this stuff. He's a rider die coach. He
4:39
Speaker 2: likes to say, who has it better than us? Well,
4:41
Speaker 2: the answer, who has it better than us? That would
4:43
Speaker 2: be the Houston Texans, that would be every other team
4:46
Speaker 2: alive in the divisional round or the playoffs. And he's
4:50
Speaker 2: standing by his man. I understand that's how it works.
4:53
Speaker 2: And you've got to play the role. And if he
4:54
Speaker 2: had said something to it, imagine if Jim Harby said, oh, yeah,
4:57
Speaker 2: he sucked, he was terrible.
5:00
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert.
5:02
Speaker 2: It's almost like he had an infestation of maggots all
5:06
Speaker 2: over his body.
5:07
Speaker 1: He was that bad. Now, that would be a story.
5:09
Speaker 2: But instead he whispered sweet nothings into his quarterback's ears.
5:14
Speaker 2: Here and he regularly rhapsodizes about his quarterback most coaches do.
5:20
Speaker 2: He goes next level, goes next level, Jim Harble. However,
5:25
Speaker 2: the real ones know right that was not only a quarterback.
5:29
Speaker 2: That was a fu bar performance, a fu bar performance
5:36
Speaker 2: from the aforementioned Justin Herbert. He's in the high Ran
5:40
Speaker 2: district watching him play against the Texans, it was like
5:45
Speaker 2: watching during a hurricane and the Levy breaks. Okay, two
5:50
Speaker 2: playoff games, two playoff games, one of the great choke
5:54
Speaker 2: jobs of all time against Jacksonville when you had a
5:57
Speaker 2: what twenty seven point lead, I believe in that game
6:00
Speaker 2: along those lines, you blew that lead. And now you
6:03
Speaker 2: became the first quarterback in the modern NFL, the first
6:07
Speaker 2: one in the modern NFL to have more interceptions in
6:12
Speaker 2: a playoff than you did during the regular season.
6:16
Speaker 1: An abysmal failure.
6:18
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm not giving out pardons and none of that.
6:23
Speaker 2: And I have no skin in the game. I'm just
6:25
Speaker 2: calling it like it is here. And when you're the
6:27
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback and you've got the two hundred and sixty
6:30
Speaker 2: million dollar contract. You got to do better, you got
6:33
Speaker 2: to be better, and there's no excuse for that. And
6:36
Speaker 2: not all of those interceptions were on Justin Herbert, but
6:38
Speaker 2: at least two of them were pathetic, pathetic throws by
6:43
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. And the Chargers in Houston had a chance
6:46
Speaker 2: to come out and jump all over the Texas because
6:49
Speaker 2: of some mistakes by Houston in the first quarter, and
6:51
Speaker 2: they were only up.
6:52
Speaker 1: Six to nothing.
6:53
Speaker 2: Got a couple of Measley field goals in that game,
6:56
Speaker 2: all right, not pitch you. So Jim Harball has also
6:59
Speaker 2: an announced that he is well. He's not going to retire,
7:03
Speaker 2: but he's had some medical problems.
7:04
Speaker 1: Not gonna retire.
7:04
Speaker 2: Instead, he's going to have a lot of visits to hospitals,
7:09
Speaker 2: a lot of visits to doctors over the next couple
7:11
Speaker 2: of weeks, the next couple of months, Harball set to
7:14
Speaker 2: undergo heart surgery and hip replacement surgery. Say what, remember
7:21
Speaker 2: there was that incident early in the football season where
7:24
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh had a heart heart beat that was a
7:27
Speaker 2: little off.
7:28
Speaker 1: Remember that.
7:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that happened and the hip thing's been a deal.
7:34
Speaker 2: So Jim Harbaugh said to have a heart procedure and
7:36
Speaker 2: hip surgery. How does that one hit you? Well, it's
7:41
Speaker 2: going to hit him worse than it's going to hit me.
7:43
Speaker 2: But we wish a good good thoughts to Jim Harbaugh here.
7:47
Speaker 2: The heart conditions just scares her. Right, that's kind of
7:50
Speaker 2: the big deal. That's seeing you get the two big things.
7:52
Speaker 2: You get the brain over here, you get the heart
7:53
Speaker 2: over here. Those are the big ones, right, those are
7:55
Speaker 2: the big ones that you need. And so he's really
7:58
Speaker 2: going to the app store. It's like, you need to
8:01
Speaker 2: update the app. You got to fix the bug problems there,
8:04
Speaker 2: performance enhancements, that kind of thing. So that's what he's
8:07
Speaker 2: he's doing here, and it does seem like a big
8:11
Speaker 2: deal though. Now they claim this is a common procedure
8:13
Speaker 2: that's gonna be done on the guy's heart, But it
8:15
Speaker 2: seems like a like a big deal. You're messing with
8:18
Speaker 2: the big one, right, the big gohuna there. So that's
8:20
Speaker 2: a problem. And as for the rest watching Jim Harball
8:24
Speaker 2: walk on the sideline, So they show him on TV
8:26
Speaker 2: a lot because he's cartoonish. When you watch Jim Harball
8:29
Speaker 2: walk around, he's got a comical git to him.
8:33
Speaker 1: He does and it's it's like going to the San Diego.
8:36
Speaker 2: Zoo and you're observing the penguins wattle wattle waddle. The
8:41
Speaker 2: penguins are waddling. That's how Jim Harball walks side to side.
8:48
Speaker 2: Be very painful. I know a couple people that had it.
8:52
Speaker 2: The one of the people he's dead now. But Tommy Lesorta,
8:56
Speaker 2: he had it. He had both of his hips were placed,
8:59
Speaker 2: and I think his knee replaced when he was you know,
9:01
Speaker 2: obviously I'm not managing, he's managed with the Dodgers, but
9:04
Speaker 2: he said that was the most pain he had ever
9:06
Speaker 2: had in his life, was hip replacement surgery. It'll message
9:10
Speaker 2: and it doesn't guarantee you're gonna be able to walk perfectly.
9:14
Speaker 2: Now supposedly it's improved and all that, but it's it
9:17
Speaker 2: is a pain in the hip, not the tukes, because
9:22
Speaker 2: the hip, even though the hip kind of goes up
9:24
Speaker 2: to the tuckish.
9:25
Speaker 1: But it's a pain in the hip, is what it is.
9:27
Speaker 2: Final point. So we now stop over to Cleveland. Why
9:32
Speaker 2: do we stop in Cleveland because there's some new reporting
9:35
Speaker 2: out that goes into great detail after the fact. Mind you,
9:39
Speaker 2: this is after the fact reporting. This was not reported
9:42
Speaker 2: while it was happening, but after the season loose lips
9:46
Speaker 2: sink football ships, and so the report behind a paywall
9:50
Speaker 2: the Old Gray Lady, otherwise known as the Athletic. The
9:54
Speaker 2: report says, the atmosphere in the Browns facility, the Browns
10:00
Speaker 2: locker room has become had become much more positive, much
10:06
Speaker 2: more positive, the atmosphere there after Deshaun Watson tore his achilles.
10:12
Speaker 2: He shredded his achilles. That was on October twentieth, so
10:16
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks before Halloween, when he stopped playing.
10:19
Speaker 2: The storm cloud had been lifted over the Browns facility.
10:25
Speaker 2: So that's the report. Let us discuss the question, the
10:31
Speaker 2: talk that Deshaun Watson his injury led to a different
10:36
Speaker 2: type of energy in the Browns facility. Can you decipher?
10:43
Speaker 2: Can you decipher what that really means? Yes, of course
10:47
Speaker 2: we have all the answer. I got a microphone, I
10:49
Speaker 2: got headphones, you got all the answers. So this is
10:52
Speaker 2: really a referendum on Kevin Stefanski. Now, Stefanski kept his job.
10:56
Speaker 2: He's the coach in Cleveland, and there was talk he
10:58
Speaker 2: was on the hot seats. Stefanski, He's gonna turn as
11:00
Speaker 2: coach of the Browns. But this is an indictment of
11:03
Speaker 2: Stefanski that the Browns coach treated Deshaun Watson to non
11:11
Speaker 2: stop spongebass.
11:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:14
Speaker 2: He just got lots of soap, little soapy hot water
11:16
Speaker 2: and the sponge and rubber dub dub uh oh. Yeah,
11:20
Speaker 2: I had a little yellow rubber ducky, yellow rubber ducky
11:25
Speaker 2: in the tub and he gave him a nice big spongeback.
11:29
Speaker 2: The other thought here, we're hearing that Stefanski would regularly
11:32
Speaker 2: not only dig him the spongeback, he would go down
11:35
Speaker 2: to seven to eleven and he'd hand Watson a slurpee.
11:40
Speaker 1: It was a slurp fest in team meetings. So, I
11:43
Speaker 1: don't you know this, but.
11:44
Speaker 2: Apparently Watson's not good at his job as a quarterback.
11:47
Speaker 2: The creepy quarterback, DeShawn Watson would regularly make many mistakes.
11:53
Speaker 2: But we are told, based on this report, during team meetings,
11:57
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski, the head coach, wouldn't not acknowledge the obvious
12:02
Speaker 2: mistakes that the other players recognized, like that's a mistake,
12:04
Speaker 2: that's a mistake, that's a mistake that and he.
12:07
Speaker 1: Wouldn't talk about that.
12:09
Speaker 2: Why Deshaun Watson not only does he have a ton
12:12
Speaker 2: of money, but he also has to be coddled and pampered.
12:16
Speaker 2: I demand to be peppered. That's possibly what he said.
12:20
Speaker 2: I wasn't there. He might have gone up to Stefanskin
12:23
Speaker 2: and said cottle coddaquaddle, I need to be coddled.
12:27
Speaker 1: That could have been said.
12:29
Speaker 2: But either way, thin skin, which is not surprising. We
12:32
Speaker 2: knew about this years ago when Deshaun Watson was leaving Clemson,
12:37
Speaker 2: the famous story those of you that have been with
12:39
Speaker 2: the show a long time.
12:39
Speaker 1: No, there was a social.
12:42
Speaker 2: Media Donnie brook a brew haha that took place between
12:48
Speaker 2: yours truly and Deshaun Watson, who was laying it on.
12:53
Speaker 2: I was watching I was watching something and Deshaun Watson
12:56
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I've overcome the odds and all this.
12:57
Speaker 2: You know, he was like a five star recruit, had
13:00
Speaker 2: offered some all these power schools, and he wanted to
13:03
Speaker 2: make it seem like he you know, he was like
13:05
Speaker 2: an unrecruited player going to college and all that.
13:09
Speaker 1: So I called him on his bull crap. He got upset.
13:13
Speaker 2: He blocked me because of stuff I said on this
13:15
Speaker 2: radio show, which is fine whatever, And I didn't like
13:20
Speaker 2: tag him in. He just he was searching his name
13:22
Speaker 2: out and he saw some of the stuff I had
13:25
Speaker 2: said on monologues got all upset.
13:27
Speaker 1: So we knew going back to his days out of
13:28
Speaker 1: Clemson he was a he was a weenie. We knew that.
13:33
Speaker 2: And he never got criticized. And so now the reporting is,
13:35
Speaker 2: once Watson got hurt, Stefanski would put a highlighter on
13:39
Speaker 2: how bad Jameis Winston was playing and the other Browns quarterbacks.
13:43
Speaker 1: And so it just.
13:45
Speaker 2: Didn't play well in the locker room, didn't play well.
13:48
Speaker 2: The Browns invested not one, not two, but three first
13:52
Speaker 2: round picks and they garanteed two hundred and thirty million dollars,
14:00
Speaker 2: and what they got was a cream puff. They got
14:04
Speaker 2: their own creampuff to play quarterback. And the creampuff you
14:08
Speaker 2: can pose the creampuff in the Happy Baby Yoga pos.
14:11
Speaker 2: You can put the creampuff down there in the Happy.
14:13
Speaker 1: Baby Yoga post.
14:15

14:46
Speaker 2: they'll be playing tennis or racquetball or whatever whatever activity
14:53
Speaker 2: they want to do to kill their time. But straight ahead,
14:56
Speaker 2: we had a sports faux pas, a fat faux pas
15:01
Speaker 2: in sports that took place. Also, an NFL team is
15:04
Speaker 2: being sued by the city they play it. That's right,
15:09

15:11

16:58
Speaker 2: up the phone. I said, hey, buck Nuts, the bit
17:00
Speaker 2: was last Hour. He said, I hadn't missed the bit.
17:02
Speaker 2: I said, you missed the bit? The bit was last Hour?
17:04
Speaker 2: I said, I didn't miss the bit. He said, I
17:05
Speaker 2: double triple checked with Justin Cooper and Justin Cooper said
17:09
Speaker 2: it was at two am Central time.
17:12
Speaker 1: That is not true at all.
17:14
Speaker 2: He told me it was two am a Central time,
17:16
Speaker 2: so he said, I was getting ready for work. I
17:18
Speaker 2: took a shower, and I called in at two am
17:21
Speaker 2: Central time early. I called in early. He said, so, Coop,
17:25
Speaker 2: he's claiming that you told him the Central time, not
17:28
Speaker 2: Eastern time.
17:29
Speaker 7: I told you, I told you he was blaming you, Coop,
17:31
Speaker 7: I told you that's a that's a lie.
17:33
Speaker 2: Well, he's seemed very confident. He's seemed very confident. Thought.
17:37
Speaker 7: In fact, I think he should be banned from the
17:38
Speaker 7: OCGEN for lying. I'm not kidding. I picked up the phone.
17:41
Speaker 7: I told him we're going to do it two thirty
17:42
Speaker 7: your time. And he lives in Columbus, which is an
17:47
Speaker 7: Eastern time yeah. And then so after I said two,
17:50
Speaker 7: I said two twenty to two thirty your time, and
17:52
Speaker 7: he goes Central time or Eastern.
17:55
Speaker 1: Time, okay.
17:55
Speaker 7: So I say that, and I said Eastern time okay,
17:59
Speaker 7: because you live in Columbus, yeah, which is in the
18:03
Speaker 7: Eastern times.
18:04
Speaker 1: That I understand.
18:05
Speaker 2: Well, he travels though he does drive a truck, so
18:07
Speaker 2: he travels around different time zones there. But he did
18:09
Speaker 2: say he had that conversation. He's claiming that he called
18:12
Speaker 2: up on time, that he was given incorrect information.

21:50
Speaker 2: sports based on things like this to talk about.
21:52
Speaker 1: Of course, there's always gonna.
21:53
Speaker 3: Be somebody to talk about it, not like not like this.

22:22
Speaker 1: I don't care.
22:23
Speaker 2: And we proved one thing that's great about this angry
22:25
Speaker 2: but we proved during the pandemic when there were no
22:27
Speaker 2: sports going on and we had the highest ratings we've
22:30
Speaker 2: ever had at Fox Sports Radio with no sports to
22:33
Speaker 2: talk about. The sports don't really matter that we want
22:36

Speaker 2: minutes of our life. Will never get back from angry Bill.
25:36
Speaker 2: We have a fashion faux paw, a fashion faux pas.
25:41
Speaker 1: From the world of sports.
25:42
Speaker 2: We're taken that to the NBA Random Random Wednesday night
25:47
Speaker 2: in the NBA, and fans were bemused, bemused when they
25:53
Speaker 2: checked out the Knickerbockers and the Philadelphia seventy six is
25:57
Speaker 2: the game played in Philadelphia. And it is it true
26:02
Speaker 2: that New York knickerbocker Carl Anthony Towns, known as the
26:08
Speaker 2: Cat Kiddy Cat Carl Anthony Towns was not playing for
26:12
Speaker 2: the Knickerbockers, sat on the Knickerbocker bench in Philadelphia out
26:19
Speaker 2: with a thumbsprain wearing Philidelphia Eagle team gear representing a
26:28
Speaker 2: New York sports team yet rocking Philadelphia Eagle merch. But
26:37
Speaker 2: is it also true that Carl Anthony Towns in the
26:41
Speaker 2: second half changed his outfit and no longer no longer
26:48
Speaker 2: had the Eagles sweater on. Yeah, so Towns is claiming
26:53
Speaker 2: that he got a little sweaty. He had that swamp ass,
26:57
Speaker 2: I guess, and it was affecting him, and so he
27:00
Speaker 2: he said that's why he changed.
27:02
Speaker 1: But imagine that.
27:04
Speaker 2: I know he's from I know he's from He's from Jersey,
27:09
Speaker 2: and Jersey is this weird thing? I got family there,
27:12
Speaker 2: Like half the state's Philly fans and the upper half
27:16
Speaker 2: New York fans. Right, so it's like the lower half's
27:19
Speaker 2: Philadelphia fans because southern New Jersey and Philadelphia the Jersey Shore,
27:23
Speaker 2: they go to shore if you're.
27:25
Speaker 1: In that part.
27:26
Speaker 2: But then in the upper part usually New York fans.
27:28
Speaker 2: But I believe Karl Anthony Towns is from the New
27:33
Speaker 2: York party.
27:33
Speaker 1: He's an Eagles fan. Obviously, it's like, you can't what
27:37
Speaker 1: are you doing? I guess he's.
27:41
Speaker 2: A huge obviously huge fan enough to wear the Eagle
27:44
Speaker 2: merch while he is working for a New York team.
27:49
Speaker 1: It's wild.
27:51
Speaker 2: I did somebody say, hey, maybe you shouldn't wear that,
27:53
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you should should avoid that Man a life
27:56
Speaker 2: Scrooge rights and says, I agree with Coop that jackass
27:59
Speaker 2: goes by a central time.
28:01
Speaker 1: The excuse the exhoses people use now, he.
28:06
Speaker 2: Says. The Russian kid writes in from the Highways and
28:10
Speaker 2: Byways of America says Coop, totally agree with you. When
28:13
Speaker 2: people are scared and don't want to face consequences of
28:16
Speaker 2: being embarrassed, they create excuses to make no sense. Why
28:20
Speaker 2: would he even think about central time? Just to admit
28:23
Speaker 2: you forgot or backed out ban him from the octagon.
28:27
Speaker 2: So the problem with banning him is then we got
28:29
Speaker 2: to find somebody else to get into the octagon. And
28:31
Speaker 2: the guy said he's gonna be there on Sunday night,
28:34
Speaker 2: So we'll give him one more chance, and if he
28:35
Speaker 2: doesn't show up on Sunday night, we will have someone else.
28:39
Speaker 2: We'll just put out a call to somebody else. We
28:42
Speaker 2: have a lot of listeners.
28:42
Speaker 1: We're on all over.
28:43
Speaker 2: Ohio, from Cleveland down to Cincinnati and all parts in between,
28:48
Speaker 2: and so we'll get somebody else to a big state.
28:49
Speaker 2: Somebody else will call up and they'll defend the buck
28:51
Speaker 2: Eyes and that'll be that. Now to a man who
28:55
Speaker 2: doesn't care about Ohio or Notre Dame, we say hello
28:59
Speaker 2: to Jay who fled, who's in the swamp land of Florida. Hello,
29:04

29:34

Speaker 8: Let's love y'all.
31:59
Speaker 1: Right and ladies.
32:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a jeedhoo fled So an NFL team is
32:04
Speaker 2: being sued by the city they play in. It is happening.
32:07
Speaker 2: There were rumors of this a couple of weeks ago,
32:09
Speaker 2: but it is now on. Like Donkey Kong, the city
32:12
Speaker 2: of Cleveland in a legal brew haha with the Browns,
32:18
Speaker 2: Holy Ohio albatman. Yes, this all over the plans. The
32:22
Speaker 2: Browns have to say bye bye and leave downtown in
32:27
Speaker 2: the dust, leave Cleveland behind, and they proposed to build
32:32
Speaker 2: a dome stadium out in the burbs outside Cleveland. They
32:36
Speaker 2: announced plans you might remember this at the end of
32:39
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, so like a few weeks ago, and
32:42
Speaker 2: the city, though, is attempting to find a way to
32:45
Speaker 2: handcuff them inside Cleveland proper. They filed a formal lawsuit
32:52
Speaker 2: to stop the Browns from leaving Cleveland's lakefront. Their lease
32:58
Speaker 2: expires in twenty twenty eight. Now it is convoluted because
33:03
Speaker 2: when the Browns left, they became the Ravens. In nineteen
33:07
Speaker 2: and ninety five, that evil bastard Art Modell moved the
33:12
Speaker 2: team over to Baltimore, and so they got a rule,
33:17
Speaker 2: a law, if you will.
33:18
Speaker 1: It's a messy situation.
33:19
Speaker 2: There's a model law, which, as I understand it is
33:25
Speaker 2: the story says any professional sports team. The law says,
33:28
Speaker 2: any professional sports team that uses state funding for its
33:31
Speaker 2: facility or for home games cannot leave without permission or
33:36
Speaker 2: providing advanced notice. So that law was passed in nineteen
33:41
Speaker 2: ninety six. It also gives residents in Cleveland a chance
33:45
Speaker 2: to buy the team or find a new buyer. And
33:50
Speaker 2: so in the lawsuit, the city comes the Browns violated
33:52
Speaker 2: the law by not doing either of those things, and
33:56
Speaker 2: the Browns have kept their mouth shut. They have not
33:58
Speaker 2: commented all on this situation. So that's where we are
34:04
Speaker 2: with the Browns getting a nice lawsuit from the city
34:07
Speaker 2: of Cleveland, and that law will not stand up in court.
34:12
Speaker 2: So the Browns are free to do whatever they want.
34:15
Speaker 2: They'll have to pay a little bit of money, but
34:17
Speaker 2: that's how that's gonna go. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 7: Leader of Leaders Ben Yankee Doodle Dandy Yankee Doodle Dandy,
37:38
Speaker 7: No wrong.
37:40
Speaker 2: The correct answer is Jared Goff Jared Goff of her
37:44
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions twenty point four percent, followed by Tua tongue
37:48
Speaker 2: by a law here to.
37:52
Speaker 3: The third degree, were.
37:55
Speaker 5: Is one?
37:56
Speaker 1: Big Ben gets grailled and Google.
37:59
Speaker 7: In a It's an episode of the in season Hard Knocks,
38:02
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett said that he had talked to Browns GM,
38:05
Speaker 7: the Browns GM, and went on to say we're closer
38:08
Speaker 7: than some may think we are. Now, Ben, do you
38:10
Speaker 7: think this squashes any chance of a trade request from
38:13
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett.
38:14
Speaker 2: Well, publicly, he's not gonna do that because he's beloved
38:17
Speaker 2: in Cleveland, so he's trying to be Paullyannish, right, he's
38:20
Speaker 2: optimistic things are gonna be better in Cleveland. Then, yeah,
38:24
Speaker 2: don't don't hold your brother minds me of Joe Thomas.
38:27
Speaker 2: This is not gonna be one of those made for
38:29
Speaker 2: TV movies. You're gonna play in Cleveland. You'll make the
38:32
Speaker 2: playoffs a couple of times, you won't win anything, and
38:35
Speaker 2: you'll retire and that'll be that. So it's not off
38:39
Speaker 2: the table because teams are gonna call the Browns and
38:41
Speaker 2: try to trade for Miles Garrett. So it's up to
38:42
Speaker 2: the Browns to decide where they want to do next.
38:45
Speaker 7: Now, the only truly competitive game over wild Card weekend
38:48
Speaker 7: was the Bucks and Commanders. Many are saying that this
38:50
Speaker 7: proves that expanding to a fourteen team playoff was a
38:53
Speaker 7: bad idea, Ben, Do you think this will give the
38:55
Speaker 7: league pause when it comes to the idea of expanding
38:57
Speaker 7: the playoffs even further?
38:58
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, because, first of all, it's not about the
39:01
Speaker 2: quality of the product. It's about getting people to watch.
39:03
Speaker 2: And so even though these games were bad, these games
39:05
Speaker 2: would be bad. People watch, and television wants.
39:09
Speaker 1: More, more and more and more and more and more,
39:11
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more and more more.
39:12
Speaker 1: So as long as TV wants it, there'll be more
39:14
Speaker 1: NFL games.
39:15
Speaker 2: They'll keep expanding because there's an audience there and it's
39:18
Speaker 2: the only thing people watch live on TV is sports.
39:21
Speaker 7: Next the following Zion Williamson getting suspended by the Pelicans
39:24
Speaker 7: for multiple instances of tardiness.
39:26
Speaker 2: Steven A.
39:27
Speaker 7: Smith said this week that Zion does not want to
39:28
Speaker 7: be in New Orleans and he wants to be in
39:30
Speaker 7: a major market like New York or La. Ben do
39:32
Speaker 7: you think this is Zion pushing for a trade.
39:36
Speaker 2: It is inevitable. Zion is going to end up in
39:38
Speaker 2: LA or New York and Dennis acoombo uh Giannis is
39:43
Speaker 2: going to end up in a bigger market. That's how
39:45
Speaker 2: the NBA does business. They've always been that way. How
39:47
Speaker 2: did we go you pass this? That is a way
39:49
Speaker 2: you can put it on. The more I want right now,
39:52
Speaker 2: I'm a winner.
39:54
Speaker 1: You're not impressed.
39:55
Speaker 2: I'm willing you thank you.
39:57
Speaker 1: Oh, all right,
