  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So a pretty decent day here. Sometimes we're coming in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: here and we're polishing turds. Not that we're not polishing
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: turds all the time, but there's more more turds to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: polish on this day as opposed to some other days.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So our lead story is from Indianapolis, where Indiana Jones
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: has been tagged. You can't tag Indiana Jones. Why would
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you tag Indiana Jones? Come on, well, the Colts. If
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear and maybe not, maybe you. Here is
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the deadline day to tag players, and a few players
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: around the NFL got tagged. The most interesting one we
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: start with that, and that is Daniel Jones, who was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: given what they say is a rarely used the rarely
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: used transition tag. So he got that tag. You're it,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: there you go. So the Colts are going to give
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones thirty seven point eight million. Thirty seven point
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: eight million, that's the by now rate for Daniel Jones
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: there in instead of the franchise tag, which would have
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: paid him like an extra six million dollars on top
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of that. And so that opens up the possibility since
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it was not the franchise tag instead it was the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: transition tag. It's all just red tape bull crap bureaucracy,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but it means that there is there's a way. Could
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: could Daniel Jones. Could Daniel Jones leave the Colt Yes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and the compensation would go to Indian Appose, so Jones
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: can can sign an offer sheet with another team next
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: week March eleventh. I know you're excited about that. Mark
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that on your on your calendar app on your phone,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: March eleventh. There the Colts have will have five days
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: five days to match or allow him to wild all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: go off into the wild blue yonder and get out
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of here. Daniel Jones. Now, as Vin Scully used to say,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it is interesting to note that Indy picking up the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: tag on Daniel Jones means they decided not not to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: give any kind of tag. They could not do two,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: so they didn't give one to Alec Pierce, the wide
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: receiver who they're trying to sign to a contract. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping up point. Let us discuss
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the question for the class, and you're part of the class.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down on the Colts picking Daniel
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Jones over Alec Pierce, that was the choice. So I've
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got spaghettios, antibiotics, and one eight hundred flowers, and we
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We're gonna make
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: some Jimmy chungis is what we're gonna make, Jimmy chunk,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: all right, So a the thumbs up thumbs down, I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: going thumbs down, and I'll go another thumbs down, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: then if I can get more thumbs down, I'll get more.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But capital d down, down, down, down, down, down, down
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: down down. To me, this is football malpractice. It is
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you should not be doing this. What are you thinking? Seriously?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Indy? Now I understand the backstory.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We talked about it in he traded a gaggle of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: draft picks. They got saucy. They got sauce gardener from
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the Jets, and so they boxed themselves into this awkward
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: situation where they were stuck between the devil and the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: deep blue sea. And so there's this financial broom closet
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and they fell. They were forced to double down on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, but they were not. So it's a total
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: panic move when you think about you look at the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: resume of Daniel Jones and what even when he did
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in Indy, and there's a lot of people that are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: selectively telling you that Daniel Jones was amazing for the Colts.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And so again they were right there, devil on one side,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the deep blue Sea on the other, and they chose
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to toss out the anchor. No, you're not supposed to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: do that. And now you're not gonna hear this. A
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: lot of plays in the daytime, guys. They're suck ups,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: most of them. So the reality is this, Daniel Jones
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: was on a proved deal in twenty twenty five. He
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: didn't prove it. He didn't and so why are you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: rewarding him with this this thirty seven point eight million
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: dollar contract. It's for Gayzy, is what it is, right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And so what exactly did Daniel Jones prove last year, Okay,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: let's go through it. So he proved moved that. As
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the season went on, he got exposed right that. For
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a while it was a smoking mirror show. And then
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: eventually Daniel Jones turned into the same stumble bum that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we saw with the Giants. It was the same stumblebum.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You know, He's fine for a few games there at
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and then the wheels on
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the bus came off. The wheels on the bus. They
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: didn't go round and round, they came off. They did.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: They did, And so Jones his wide angle wins in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: his career. Look at his Pro Football Reference packed thirty
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: two career wins in the NFL as a starting quarterback
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: seven years, thirty two wins and then snap crackle pop
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: as in Indians. And he wasn't playing well before that,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and then four or five games that were el stinko
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and then he got hurt and you're gonna reward him
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with thirty seven point eight million because you're afraid he's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: gonna leave. You should drive them to the airport and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you're afraid he's gonna leave. This's insanity. It's absolute insanity,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is what it is, and he's not head and shoulder.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: This is the main issue. If there was no one
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: else who was as good as Daniel Jones would be like, Okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I get it. He's not head and shoulders above everyone.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He's at the same level. You look at who's available,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the contemporaries on the market, the quarterback market. If he
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: did the coll of challenge, let's do the col of chan,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do the cold chan. You got two a tongue of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Byloa Kyler Murray, the Little Fella, the Munchkin, and Daniel Jones.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Those are the three quarterbacks side by side. I call
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: them the spaghettios quarterbacks. And now why do I call
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: them the Spaghettios Because they're overwhelmed, overmatched, and overpowered on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a regular basist of O's a lot of o's. There,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: different cans, same crappy product, same flat soda. So that's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the call to challenge there and the culture like, no, no,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: we have to have our flat soda. We don't want
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: someone else's flat soda. We love our flat soda. Daniel Jones, baby,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: oh my god. Meanwhile, wide receiver Alec Pearce, who broke
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: out all year unlike Daniel Jones, he did it all year.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't do it for five games or eight games
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and then disappear. He did it the entire year. He
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was consistent, he was reliable to put a big stats.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He was legit in his breakout year. And so the Colts,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they could have punted on Daniel Jones, no loss there,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he's not that good and locked up Piers. Now they're trying,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they say to lock him up, good luck on that,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: more than that in a minute. And so instead they said, no, no,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we really want fool's gold. That's what we want. So
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the Colts they picked the fools goal. Congratulations all right.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, staying with the theme of the hour, as I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: have just treated Daniel Jones like a pinata, there are
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: reports bouncing around the echo chamber here that's say they wait,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait a minute, Minnesota, they don't have
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. They need a quarterback. What are you gonna do?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And that the Purple people eaters might make Eke and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Rosewo Minnesota vomit in his mouth. And they are said
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to be exploring the possibility of going after Vanilla vic.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: That could be the move right there, Vanilla Vick. So
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: question how believable. How believable are the whispers that the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Vikings are going to make some kind of offer to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: try to pry away Daniel Jones. Not that they would
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have to pry away that much, because I'm assuming the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Colts they'll come to their senses here and say, well,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: we're not going to give them that contract, whatever the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Vikings offer. So I give this the very premise that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the whispers are true, that the Vikings are going to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: make this run at Daniel Jones. I give this side eye,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: all right. And the reason that I give this side
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: eye is we know that Minnesota has a blank square
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: on the quarterback bingo card. They don't have anything right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They've tried hope, they've tried cosmic intervention, they tried JJ McCarthy,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: which apparently he's now outside the bubble of trust. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he's out. The bubbles burst and that's it. Pop goes
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the babble. So what do you do? What do you do? Well?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You go shopping on the clearance aisle. And this is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL's version of the rummaging through the dented can
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: aisle at High V You're going through all the dented
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cans there and all that stuff. But Minnesota, they have
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the pick of the litter. That's the goodness. I'll be
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Benny Bright said, you have to pick of the litter.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Congratulations there. Of course, the Picco litter is all the cracked,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: damaged and warped quarterbacks as we have laid out here.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So you've got to pick a litter. You're gonna need
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: antibiotics speak cause you're gonna get cat scratch fever is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: what you're going to get. And as for Daniel Jones,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they would have to pay him, if my math is correct,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm using Malard math, about forty million a year on average,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than the Vikings thing, paying about
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year, which would be like paying
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: for a thick steak at Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and you're
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: paying that price and you're getting a microwaved hot pocket. No,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to knock the hot pocket. I've had them.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Some of them are good, some of them are horrific,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but it's not the same as a nice steak. But wait,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: there's more. Oh, we're not done. No, you'd also to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: get Daniel Jones. You'd have to give the Colts compensation.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: A lot of compensation that would be. And again we
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: just laid out all these guys are about to say
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they've all got warts and moles and all that stuff.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That would be shrewd dumbness if you decide on Daniel Jones. Now,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if you do the malord math on that, the malarads
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that Danny Dimes ends up in the Twin Cities, I'll
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: put that at plus five hundred, which, if you're not
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: good with math, that implies, based on malor math, a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: about a fifteen percent chance, about a fifteen percent chance,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: which is higher than it should be, higher than it
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: should be. It should be because the Golden rule is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in play. And the only reason I'm going around fifteen
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: percent is the Golden rule, which is it's not what
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's who you know. And it is true
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that Kevin O'Connell seems to be calling the shots there
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He had Jones in the building for a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee and they hung out together for half
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a season, so there's a common bond. And to that,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I say, whoopedie, damn do That's what I say. I'm
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: leaving a fifteen percent chance on that. Now, last word, here,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: let's circle back. We talked about Alec Pierce, the wide
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: receiver who was hanging out there in Indy, and the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Colts decided that they wanted to tag Daniel Jones and said, well,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know what, we want to keep you. But yeah, okay,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So we are told the Colts are again very motivated
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to get Pierce in his contract done as we're about
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a week away now from the start of NFL free agency.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So the question who's going to be bidding, Who's going
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to be bidding for the pending free agent wide receiver
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: late of Indianapolis here, Alec Pierce. So this is one
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of those stories. I call it a one eight hundred
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: flower story. Now why do I call it that, because
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: this is going to look like The Bachelor, NFL edition
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. Imagine, if you will, Alec Pearce standing
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there in a nice tuxedo and there's a bunch of teams,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: now not every team, but a bunch of teams that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: are lined up, and they all went and got their
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: roses and they said, hey, Alex, and will you accept
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: this franchise tag row and then he'll say yes or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: no and all that, and he would be crazy at
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this point not to test the market. So all you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: have to do is wait a week and then you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: are able to take bits on it from it. Of course,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: there's a legal tampering periods. He's gonna already know. They
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: probably are now his agent knows who wants to pay
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: him or not. But he did have the breakout seasons.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We talked about Alex Pierce last year in Indianapolis, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta think his agent's phone and the text messages
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and all that will be blown up like a mom
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and pop pizza shop on Super Bowl Sunday, like there'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be a lot going on. And it really comes down it,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: does he want to stay in Indianapolis? Okay, fine, you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: could stay there, or you could do some dumpster diving
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders or the Titans. Couple of crappy teams
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: like that that have money, bad teams with cap space
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and no shame. You could say, what about the Patriots
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they don't have any receivers there any good and they
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: got to the Super Bowl. Or the Buffalo Bills they
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: don't have any receivers there any good and they got
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen that they need help there. Meanwhile, Pearce is
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: sitting there like a like a guy at auction. Do
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I hear thirty thirty million? Thirty million? Do I thirty
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: one million? Thirty one million? The back thirty one million
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: man the brown hatton back? All right? Thirty two million,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: thirty two million, go much going twice, going three times,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So thirty two million. Someone's gonna overpay. They always do,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they always do. Be sure to.

  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, we go to Arizona. Now.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, while I was doing some work
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio, for a number of years,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I ran a gossip sports gossip website that was that
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: was my thing. I was whatsing around with that, did
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that for a number of years, had some success with that,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: got some critical acclaim whatever that's worth obviously nothing because
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it anymore, although I can't buy my
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: website back for like ten thousand dollars or whatever it is.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, it's ridiculous. But back in the day
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: when I did that job, we had a mantra in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the newsroom that when I was putting that together, aggregating
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a rumor is just a fact that has yet to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: be discovered. And today's rumors or tomorrow's news, well that's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: been proven correct. Again if you have not heard by now,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a story that we talked about as a rumor over
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks has turned out to be reality.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals have said bye bye, and they have informed
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray that he will be fired, that he's done,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he's out, and he is going to be able to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: go to another NFL team when the new league year
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: begins a week from today. His reign of terror in
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the Desert will come to an end, and they will
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: drive him to Sky Harbor Airport there in the Valley
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of the Sun and say get out of here. Now.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Murray posted a sappy, good buy note to the fans
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in the Valley of the Sun there on social media.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It was ninety nine words, the ninety nine ninety nine words,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and now some fans ran to defend Kyler Murray upset
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that he used one word in particular. Now there were
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: three paragraphs, but ninety nine worth three paragraphs, and there's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: one word in particular that upset people. He used the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: word failed, and that was the money. Quote he said,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I wanted nothing more than to be the one to
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and the seventy seven year route for this organization. I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: am sorry, he said I failed us close quote. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point, and let's discuss
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the question. Kyler Murray says that he quote failed the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and a number of jocksniffers running to defend
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Is that valid or invalid that he used
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the word failed? Kyler Murray, So I've got pyromaniac, memory, foam,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and KFC and we will combine all of these things
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to play Connect three is
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: what we're going to play. So number one, number one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: So we ran this through the very technical, very technical
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Malor Lie detector, the Mallard Lie detector, and we determined
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: there were no lies detected, no lies detected, none, Zippo, zippo.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: The guy, Kyler Murray was the number one overall um
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of the twenty nineteen collegiate Draft. Now, when you are
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the top pick, is it fair or unfair to expect
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: that you're getting the team that's drafting the players getting
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who's a Hollywood star? Is that fair or unfair?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I believe it's fair. I believe it's fair. And I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the one with the microphone, so I'm gonna go first.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You can call in later if you want. I believe
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that's fair. Now, did the Cardinals get a Hollywood level quarterback? No,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: under any measurement, they did not get a Hollywood level quarterback.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: What they got was a Bollywood quarterback. That's what the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: not Hollywood bally would all right for bally Wood, That's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: what they got. Kyler Murray saying that he failed, that's
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: even an understatement, right. It's like a pyromaniac arsonist showing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: up to the fire and going, boy, somebody really burned
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: this place down. I wonder what that was all about Yeah,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks supposed to elevate everyone, and he didn't do it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And to be fair, he needed a booster seat. So
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: we knew going in it was not gonna be easier
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. Finishes ten games under five hundred, ten
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: games under five hundred, not exactly a franchise savior. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: he wasn't even a five hundred quarterback. And get the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: playoff resume. And if you had been drafted, whoever you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: might be, if you had been drafted with the top
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: pick of the twenty nineteen NFL draft, you would have
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the same number today as Kyler Murray of playoff wins.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He didn't win a single playoff game. Squad douche in
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: terms of playoff wins none And you know he and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I want to kill him, and I am going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side. He said, well, you can't be
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Benny Bright's. You've been ripping Kyler murright this, I was
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: right in Hostey And I'm sure the Arizona Republic will
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: write a tract shit and apology to me. And do
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they still even have that newspaper? I don't know. I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: feel like all newspapers are out of business at this point.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But if they're still around, they they said, you know what,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: that guy Mattelin was right, Maybe we should pay more
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: attention to that overnight guy on Fox. He called this
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, seven years ago. He called this anyway,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I knew right away and the moment I knew, well,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: first of all, looking at Kyler Murray looks like a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: glitch in a video game. Not a good one. Not
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a good one. But I think it was actually on
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I think it was before the draft.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was interviewed. I think it was on the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show, and he was waiting for his dad
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to answer question. He didn't know what to say, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: his dad was like there and his parent was along
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and answering the question. I said, oh my god, this
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: is terrible. And that was a sign of coming attractions,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is what it was. So no playoff wins, he did
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: lead the league in one category, So I will pump
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the tires on Kyler. Congratulations seven years as an NFL's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, and he led the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: NFL in sacks taken. So condract, you know, impress it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Not everyone can leave the NFL and sacks taken. But
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: there you go, that and that, and I don't know
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that we'll see another quarterback that has a more impressive
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: signature moment playing quarterback in the NFL than Kyler Murray
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: who famously and it's one of the all time great
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: moments in my career and do this a long time.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: The study clause, the homework clause in Kyler Murray's contract,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: where he literally literally had to have it in writing.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: The team had they felt it was so important. He
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: was such a such a loser and he was so
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: lazy that they had to put it in the contract
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: where he was contractually obligated to you know, do his
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: job and to like watch tape and study for the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: opponent and all that stuff. And some of Europe said, well,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you know, these people say, oh, you didn't fail. He
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: did fail, that's obvious. But the good news is for
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Kyler is that while he flopped playing football in Arizona
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: with the joystick, he was one of the great gamers
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in the state of Arizona, top ten gamer. When it
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: comes to call of duty, first ballot, Hall of Famer,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Video Game Hall of Fame. Now I know they give
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you a gold jacket when you go to the Pro
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame? What do you get when you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: go to the Gamer Hall of Fame? Is it a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: golden joystick? Is there something like a cartridge? Is there?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is? All right now, payt you?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: So keeping the drum beat going and going and going
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and going. So what is the forecast? You pull out
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the DoPT two thousand radar. What is the forecast for
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? Who has now been excommunicated from the Cardinals.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So what's next on the forecast? So the forecast, if
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you look right now, the forecast is the He's getting
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the day SPA send off. It's a nice SPA day
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: for Kyler. Go to the spall have a good time.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you will, a world where you are fired
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: from your job. You're tossed overboard and you land in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a velvet lifeboat. That's Kyler Murray. Remember, sports is not
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: reality like the reality is. And what I mean by
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: that is a different cartoon issuites. It's a different world. Normally,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: when somebody loses their job, you're like, oh man, I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: bummed out. That sucks for that guy. He's gonna have
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to go an unemployment he's gonna have to find another job.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You gotta go to the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Express Employment website and all that. So that's normal, But
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in sports, the Cardinals will be paying the little munchkin
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: thirty six point seven million to not play quarterback. Do
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you understand how much of a absolute loser, a jackwagon
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: one has to be for a team to give you
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that kind of severance package that you're so useless Kyler Murray,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that the Cardinals would rather pay almost thirty seven million
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to not have you, That you're that much of a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: bad influence in the locker room, and you're that you're
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that pathetic on the field. It's wild. That is a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: severance package wrapped in a memory foam mattress. That is
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: what that is. And the Cardinals didn't just throw him
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: off the ship. They tossed him overboard. They gave him
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a charcuterie board in that boat, and they gave him
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a spa, you know, the rope from the spa and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: just everything. I mean, this gave him everything. And the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: crazy part is that now he wasn't good and we
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: documented that, and now there are teams that are like, wow,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: this is great. I saw some NFL punnits that Kyler
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Murray is clearly the top quarterback of ail. Really, what
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: is the measurement on that? How are you measuring that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who doesn't even like football, is not good
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: at football, is the top guy available clearly? Really? What
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: kind of fentanyl are you on, sir? If you think that? Seriously?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? But there you go, Well Kyler
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Murray and there's always out. Is one man's trash is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: another man's fantasy reclamation project. But to say that he's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: clearly better than the other quarterbacks, I don't buy that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know how anyone with an IQ above twenty
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: could buy that. The Vikings again, every quarterback's being connected
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: with the Vikings, Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray. They should have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: like seven quarterbacks on the field. Yeah, that's it. Just
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: go with four. No, no, you have three offensive linemen. You're
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: gonna have seven quarterbacks one wide receiver. Now you might
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: go with five quarterbacks and then four offensive linemen. The
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: rest would be be pass catchers. I mean, you could
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: do there's different ways you can do it, but my god,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: so the Jets, now that would be perfect. You imagined
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray with the Jets. The Raiders, they're gonna have
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza supposedly if they keep the first pick in
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the draft and they need a bridge quarterback. Of course
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Kyler would be a very small bridge, but that's fine.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And the island of misfit quarterbacks right there, and even
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this scares me a little bit. The Rams have been mentioned,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: but only because the Rams hired Cliff Kingsbury as a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay loyalist. So Cliff Kingsbury, there's a connection members
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: not what you know, it's who you know. And so
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is with the Rams coaching staff unless he
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: gets a better job and then leaves. So Cliff Kingsbury's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: hanging out there, and then Kyler Murray could come in
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: there be the backup for a year, and it's you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it's kind of yead. Listen, why not go play for
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the minimum somewhere? Go to the Rams. Have the Rams
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: leak good stories about how great you look and practice
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and what a great locker room guy you are. The
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: typical bull crap that goes out in the media, and yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: play for the minimum and Arizona, remember they're picking up
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the tab like that rich uncle that's got a lot
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: of cash and likes to throw it around to show
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: everyone in the family how rich he is. And does
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: he want to Does Kyler Murray actually want to play
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: for a bad team or is he willing to go
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: be a backup on the Rams, take a sabbatical and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: make all that money and just play video games? And
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: that's it all right? Meanwhile, final point to Seattle. We
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: go and you, sir, have just won the Super Bowl MVP.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do now? I'm gonna go find
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: a job somewhere else because this team doesn't want me
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in a clear act of malfeasance. And I know somewhere
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: in the great Pacific Northwest JJ and Renton is devastated,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and no Stradinas is gonna gonna cry like crime Craig
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: because Seattle, classless Seahawks, you just went out and won
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP. Get out of here. They chose
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: not not the place the Seahawks. The franchise tag on
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker. They will let him walk away from the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. And so instead of getting a guaranteed salary
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of fourteen million dollars for one year, he will run
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: off carrying his Pete Roselle Super Bowl MVP trophy and say,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I just played better than anyone else on my offense
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and I'm now going to explore
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the open market. There you go, all right? So the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: question here which direction? Which direction? Is Seahawks running back
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker headed as he heads to the auctioning block
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: after and he's auctioning his own services. As we said,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: he's he's a free agent and next week and go
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: anywhere it wants. So it's nice to know that the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks value the Super Bowl MVP like he is
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a spork from KFC. So he's not just a fork
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: or a spoon. He's a spark. So he's a little
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: more valuable than just a fork or a spoon. It's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: a multi dimensional situation, but ultimately, just a cheap piece
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of takeout cutlery is what he is. And it's like, hey,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: thanks for the memories. Don't let the door hit you
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: where the good Lord split you get out of here,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and now you're someone else's problem. You're not our problem. Now. Financially,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: this is not bad. Financially this is not bad. This
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is a bonanza. Is what it is. It's a seller's market.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Sellers market. You look at running backs, and running backs
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: have become more in vogue in recent years, as Skwon
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Barkley in Philadelphia was the man of the hour there
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: for the Eagles and their championship run, and then Kenneth
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Walker the Super Bowl MVP. So the last couple of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: years it has been an uptick in running backs. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it is a seller's market. Has said there's a shortage
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: of goods available, so that's a positive. And Breece Hall
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: got tagged by the Jets, so he's off the market.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So Walker becomes the bell of the ball. Yeah, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: it's happy days are here again. Financially, happy days are
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: here again. It's an old show watching on the reruns,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: on the on the streaming and all that. But it's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: like Richie Cunningham out there getting paid, getting paid big money. Now, listen,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is Walker the greatest running back? No, he's solid. He's
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a solid, not great. It's like he was splitting chores
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: with Zach Charbonnay in Seattle and Charboney got hurt. So
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna have to bring multiple running backs in. They're
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: gonna draft one and then likely sign one as a
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: free agent, and so we'll see how this goes. But
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: good luck to Kenneth Walker who goes to market. Now
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: who's window shopping? Who's out there window shopping? So you
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: got the supposedly the Giants, I thought they had some
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: running backs. The Giants cansa city. You got the Broncos
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: have been mentioned as a possibility for Kenneth Walker. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: there's a few teams out there that are really horny
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to get a running back. They're really horny to get
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a running back upgrade. They see the explosive style and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: all that. So Kenneth Walker, it's like the classic scene
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: from the old movies, ready to say, show me the money,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Show me the money. Now. My unsolicited malor advice to
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker the Super Bowl MVP, all things being equal,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you take your talents, and you take your GPS, and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you set your GPS and your talents to Arrowhead Stadium
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and you go there, set that GPS and do not
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: look back. Do not look back now. Seat on. Meanwhile,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to try to find again some new plastic
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: forks and spoons and some knives and see what they
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: can find there.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: we go, Here we go. Here we all agree. This
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: is one big gets great.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: A report over the weekend suggested that Kirk Cousins could
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: be selective about his next destination, that he could even
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: quote wait through the offseason for some team situation to
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: change in his favor. Ben, could you see the season
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: starting with Kirk Cousins unsigned.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: No, I think he'll sign. He might sign with CBS,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: but he'll sign. He'll sign with somebody if the TV
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: hires him. I think he'll go there. But there's enough
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: starting jobs open. There's not enough quarterbacks. There'll be a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: job if he wants to get a job in Pittsburgh.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: If Rogers doesn't go there in Miami, Minnesota yet again, Arizona,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: they bunch of you up next.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Trey Ungon hasn't played a minute for the Washington Wizards,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: but he's already been kicked out of a game after
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: being ejected from the bench on Monday, Fans in DC
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: were loving it, going to social media to proclaim Young
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: a legend. Yes, Ben, do you think Young is going
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: to bring the Wizards back from irrelevance.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: The Wizards last one fifty games. I believe before I'm
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: a lot, before I was a live coop. I've been along.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I've been around a long time. No, not gonna have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. The guy's always hurting. Next.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: With March Madness soon approaching, talks of an NCAA tournament
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: expansion have revved up again. However, coach k said, that's
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: a big mistake. You don't mess with something that is gold.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Is he right?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Well, it's risky, but if TV is willing to pay
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: for it, whatever TV wants, they're gonna do. They've proven
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that in college basketball. How do we how do we do? Coop?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: You pass hours? They would put it on the bar,
• 33:24
