• 1:46
  Speaker 3: What you didn't start with an NBA game?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with you?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: All?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: My guys? The playoffs?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Like basketball?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Shut up? So I made an editorial decision. I made
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: an editor editorial decision. And normally we start with basketball
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: all the night rant and somebody'd be in the vomit
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: comment and that would be that, and I'd move on
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and then we take calls, and that's normally how it goes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But this night different than all other nights. Why is
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this night different than all other nights. Well, I've made
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: an editorial decision. It's not every day that lifetime bands
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are over done.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: And players are welcome back.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And this is a story that has kind of followed me,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: if you will, since I got into the talk radio
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: world when I was a young lad back in the day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So I thought it was an interesting story, and I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: think it's worth some conversation here at the start, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we'll get into the basketball games. We've got four hours
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of nonsense. That's a long time to talk. That's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: lot of talk, so plenty of time to get to everything.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But I want to start with the baseball And I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: assume you've heard about now, but possibly you live in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a box and you have not heard. We really love
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: people that live in shoeboxes. It's good for us. So anyway,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, if you missed it, major League Baseball's commissioner.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We like to call him Rob Manfraud. But Rob Manford
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: has removed Pete Rose from the ineligible lists. He's back,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He's also dead. Also, welcome back, shoeless Joe Jackson, also dead.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: There's a theme if you're dead and your band Rob
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Manford likes you. Welcome back, Welcome back. Now you're dead,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but you're back. The permanent ineligible list of Major League Baseball.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of deceased players, but the headline
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Joe Jackson. There were movies made many years ago, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many people today even tho who
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Joe Jackson was shoeless Joe Jackson. But Pete Rose shoeless
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Joe Jackson. Couple of figures in baseball's past that have
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: been welcome back now as a result, and you don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: be the lead, my man. All right, I'm not gonna
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: bear lead. So as a result, here it's really about
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Pete Rose. Pete Rose, major League Basseboll's all time hit leader.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: He's he's now eligible, as it is shoeless Joe Jackson
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: eligible for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Keep
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in mind that President Trump helped get this done. The
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: President met with Rob Manford recently, and all of a sudden,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: shortly after that, wonder what kind of deal they worked out?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Hey, let Pete back in.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We'll let you continue to screw fans over with the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: nickel and dime Major League Baseball TV package. Who knows,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but either way, Rob Manford has done it. He has
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: removed Pete Rose from the ineligible list. So let us
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: discuss the question for the esteem panel. How do you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: dissect Rob Manford's decision to let Pete Rose and these
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: other dead players, including shoeless Joe Jackson back into baseball.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So I've got profit, I've got blue ribbon and home depot,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make a line drive base it up the middle.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: That's what we're gonna make, all right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So the word I have for this I didn't ask
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for a word, But the word I have for this
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: move by Rob Manford to allow Pete Rose back in baseball,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: my word is cosmetic.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: That is my word.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It is a cosmetic move by Rob Manford. Now I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned this is a nostalgias story. That's why I'm starting
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to show with it. So when I started in radio,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I was a young lad. I was a teenager and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I walked into the radio station in San Diego, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: mighty six ninety man. I thought this was the big leagues, right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: this is seventy seven thousand watt radio station in San Diego.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It was a border blaster station. The transmitter was actually
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in Mexico and it blasted all over it. And at
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that time, before the Interweb, it was a big deal.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And I remember I was an intern for this guy,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Lee Hacksaw Hamilton, who was like my men Tour, one
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of my mentors in radio. And at that time it
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: had only been a few years. I'm dating myself, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it had only been a few years since Pete Rose
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: had been banned from baseball, And I learned quickly from
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: observation that when you had a slow day, I was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a young whipper snapper, when you had a slow day
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in sports radio and you wanted to stir things up,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what you did is you said, hey, Pete Rose, did
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he bet on baseball? Should he be banned from baseball?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Should they remove the band? And then you give out
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the number, and the phones light up like a Christmas tree,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And it was for years. It was the go to conversation.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It was the go to conversation, and everything went light up,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and people had very strong opinions both ways, both ways
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on that. So I look at this as cosmetic now
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: because yeah, Rob Manford will get some brownie points, he'll
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: get some brownie points for this. Reinstating Pete Rose at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this point, if you do the calculus on this using
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the Mallard man, it's a pr win for baseball. Yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: there are some people complaining and ranting and saying, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Pete's a scumbag and shouldn't be welcome back and all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that stuff, but they the old timers, the old timers,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and I still occasionally get a call it Pete Rose
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: with a Hall of Fame I mentioned dick In Dayton's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: name here earlier, and that's the number one Pete Rose fan.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I know the number there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But for me, the idea of putting Pete Rose back
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: on the eligible list is a fruitless endeavor.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: It's a fruitless endeavor.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And here's why they have both left this Pete Rose
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and truthless Joe Jackson have left this mortal coil.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: They're dead.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And it always, it's always annoyed me when you celebrate,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: like the Hall of Fame, when they put people in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: who are like, I'm dead, you know, it's like, Okay,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: celebrate people while they're alive. I'm a big celebrate people
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: while they're alive person. Pete Rose died seven months ago,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in September of last year. Shoeless Joe Jackson, he has
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: been dead for seventy three years. He died in nineteen
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: fifty one. Okay, so he's been going for a while.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And Pete Rose, the whole Charlie Hustle thing and all that,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and there were generation of fans but that worshiped Pete
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Rose played forever. And while Pete is known as Charlie Hustle,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he gets another nickname in death. Pete the Prophet. Now,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we mentioned this in a previous episode of the show.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Is it true that Pete Rose, in what could have
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: been his final interview, his final interview before he died,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: mentioned this very thing happening, mentioned this very outcome well
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: ten days before Pete Rose left this world that we
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all share. Pete Rose said, just ten days before he died,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that he wouldn't make the Baseball Hall of Fame until
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: after he died. He said it, He said it ten
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: days before he left us, and Rose was spitting mad.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: He said, if I'm gone, it don't matter. Pete Rose said,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: who the f wants to go in when you're dead?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Ding ding ding ding ding. That's a good hot take
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: by Pete And I agree with him. I I absolutely agree.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I had heard early on that the world of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: baseball was never going to allow Pete back while he
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was alive, because the generations were upset. They felt he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: played a role in the death of Bart Giamani, who
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: had been the commissioner for a very short time, even
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: though Bart was overweight and had all kinds of problems.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so fine, So there you go, Pete Rose,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the Prophet. Pete the Prophet predicted this, and as far
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: as Joe Jack Action and Pete Rose, there were movies
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: made and about both, and documentaries books written about all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this stuff. And I know in the early days of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, there's a restaurant. We're at the corner
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of Venturins to Palvity here in the valley, and right
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: across the street there was an Italian restaurant. And when
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I started at this company, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Thursday you could find Pete Rose holding court at the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: bar at this Italian restaurant.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Everyone knew it. If you want to see Pete, go
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: over there. Pete'll be over there.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: He'll be having drinks and a bunch of other old
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: ballplayers would be hanging out from his era in the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in the sixties and the seventies. They'd be hanging out
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: with Pete and they just tell old war stories while
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they had cocktails and appetizer. And then Pete eventually just
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: moved to Vegas because he was making so much money
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: selling autographs. He just moved there full time. But for
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: years he lived right you know, live right here and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: was right across the street. Now, where does the Pete
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Rose Hall of Fame movement go? Now there's there's something. Well,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he's in the Hall of Fame. You know, he's not
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. He hasn't been put in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. So where Pete Rose in death
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: goes in terms of a campaign for the Hall of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: fame red tape bureaucracy. Those are words you can use,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: red tape bureaucracy. There is no sense of urgency and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: why would there But he's dead, You're not coming back.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So Pete Rose was banned from baseball.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty nine.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It's been a minute for gambling on the Cincinnati Reds
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and while he was managing the team and the legend
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: when he didn't bet on the Reds that let everyone
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: know who was taking the bets, that he didn't think
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: they were gonna win.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, York
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: made him ineligible from induction, and that was in nineteen
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: ninety when that was his first year eligible because he
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was a player manager in Cincinnati. And as we understand it,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: again trying to keep up on all the details of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: us as we under standard, the rank and file Baseball
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: scribes and our buddies like Rob Parker and the baseball
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: writers who love to have that ballot and vote, they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: will not get the vote on this. Pete Rose's future
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame ultimately will be decided by
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a handpicked blue ribbon panel. You know, I love blue
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: ribbon panels. I love a good blue ribbon panel. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that will consist of ten to twelve reps, handpicked that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: will decide the Historical Overview Committee.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: That just sounds like bureaucracy.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: The Historical Overview Committee will develop a ballot of eight names.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: We assume Pete Rose will be on there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: The Classic Baseball Era Committee will evaluate the candidates and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: those that had the greatest impact on the game before
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty and no vote, though, will take place before
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty seven, which means.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: The earliest Pete.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Rose would have there'd be a ceremony to honor he's dead,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: but to honor Pete would be in the summer of
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. So here we are in twenty twenty five,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in May, so you got to get through the rest
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: of this year twenty six twenty seven, so we're looking
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: at over three years and that's the quickest as I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: understand it, this could happen.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Was Pete Rose guaranteed of being elected to the Hall
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: of Fame?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: No, he's not. Even with this, he's not. There are
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: sure to be some that will hold grudges. I've already
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: seen some hot take artists out there, the artists in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of the hot take that have said no, no, no, no, no,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Pete Rose is a scumbag, He's a dope, He's a loser.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That's the counter argument. It's hard to fight that. You
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Pete was a shady guy, and so it's you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I don't really care about the tax return thing.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: There was an incident in twenty seventeen.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: He was actually doing TV stuff and he was accused
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of statutory rape. There was a counter earlier. There's no
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to my notgs, there was no criminal charger. There was
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: an accusation that was made. So do that with what
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you want. And now the last word here. So, assuming
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this does go the way it's going, and Pete ultimately
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: wind up into the Hall of Fame at some point here,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: even though he's dead, what does Pete Rose being given reinstatement.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Let's focus on this being given reinstatement to Major League
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Baseball do for the guys like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the steroid people of Baseball who are also not in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Even though there are steroid players
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, players that we are relatively
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: confident did steroids but are allowed in there are not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: on the naughty list, but Barry Bonds is on the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: natty list, and Roger Clemens and several other of these cats.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So on the surface, after a minutes long Mallard deliberation
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: on the Ben Malor Show, we have determined that this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: does bupkus for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: vintage of player now Barry Bonds and his steroid brethren
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of that era. The issue is they're not banned from baseball.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They're not banned. It's just done on the down low.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: It's on the DL right, the down low, and their
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: persona non grata for the Hall of Fame. However, here's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the interesting wrinkle to this. What this Pete Rose update
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: does do for Barry Bonds and the other steroid players,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the other pd pals, is it provides them a road
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: map on how to get into Cooperstown and without being Macab,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: which means I'm going to be Macabb. Barry Bonds and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: these other cats need to go down to Home Depot
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and buy a bucket. And at some point we know
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the endgame on life. We know how it ends. We
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: don't know when it's gonna end. We know how it's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: going to So at some point Barry Bonds and everyone else,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: once they kick the bucket, then all of a sudden,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: well we're going to a panel together. We'll put these
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: guys in the Hall of Fame. But you got to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: kick the bucket. So go get bucket at Home Depot,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: kick the bucket.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: There you go. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: If you would like to be part, you can join
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: us right now and give us your reaction. There are
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: people very upset. I don't understand, like upset that Pete
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Rose was allowed. But he's dead. He's not going to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: do anything more to embarrass anyone. He's gone, so I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: just think it's kind of pointless to put him in now.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And as Pete said himself ten days before he died,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who wants to go in the Hall of Fame when
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: they're dead?
• 16:46

• 18:24
  Speaker 1: so our lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and we're going to start out here with yesterday's rumors
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: turning out to be two days and news now. Years ago,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I had a gossip blog. I was in the blogger sphere.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: It was one of the early bloggers.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I gave that up for the joy of overnight talk radio.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: But one of the things we did there we did
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of rumors, uff gossip, and oftentimes it started
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: out as a rumor and then before you knew it, it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: became reality. And so whispers in hush tones have yet
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: again turned out to be true. If you did not hear,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: maybe not. The Celtics made it official. They put the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: rubber stamp on it and Nana.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Laaaa hey, goodbye.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Jason Tatum, that's it, see you later, goodbye, Jason Tatum,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Celtics star. He's Dunskies underwent surgery. They said he was
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: gonna have an MRI. He had surgery. As he went
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: snap crackle pop or ruptured in this case his achilles
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: tendon and that operation happening on Tuesday afternoon. He suffered
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the injury late in the fourth quarter, less than three minutes.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: To go in the game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: In Game four, Celtics at the time were down by
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: nine to the Knicks. They ended up losing that game,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and now they are on the brink of elimination, trying
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to stave off elimination when they play the Knicks again
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: here coming up hours from now. But that's not the story.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The story here is Jason Tatum. So the cas are
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: now going to lead on. We're gonna lean on Jalen Brown.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: What can Brown do for? You could actually step up here.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: He's been a little shaky, a little shaky after being
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the big man on campus for the Celtics last year
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: when they won the championship.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: He's supposedly the star.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: A to B and or beat A wait, either way
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you want to say it, but Jalen Brown trying to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: save the Celtics in Game number five. Teams that are
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: leading three games to one in the NBA Playoffs have
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: won ninety five point six percent of the time. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: think that's even higher now because Indiana was up three
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to one, so he can check on another one. There's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: only thirteen teams that have come back from that deficit.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: But that is secondary. Jason Tatum, one of the big
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: stars in the NBA, go to the grocery store. For
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a long time, we saw him on the face of ruffles.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: He was selling you potato chips.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: And now he is.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: He's down, he's out, See you later, Goodbye the Celtics.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I always love this part of the story. They say
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the operation was successful. They say it was successful. No
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: timetable was availab All right. So Tatum, who's about hasn't
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: happened yet. He's about to be named to his fourth
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: consecutive All NBA team, and when that happens, he'll be
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: one of just forty three players. That's it, forty three
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: players the history of that sport, the NBA. Forty three
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: players that have made that many Wall having turned twenty
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: seven coming up, but just in March turned twenty seven.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what are your thoughts
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: on today's developments involving Jason Tatum, the Achilles operation and what.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: All of this means.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So I've got animation, garage, band, and atomic and we
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: will combine all of.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: These things together and we are going to get a.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Delicious seafood dinner. Now, my friends in Boston say, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: got those great seafood restaurants. Every time I'm in Boston.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I don't like seafood, so don't I don't need your
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: little seafood restaurants.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: All right, So first of all, my first on this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: on today's developments is get out the charcoal barbecue because
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it's grilling season and the Celtics are porked that I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: put that right on the grid.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: They're screwed.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I also love the successful operation, which just means he
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: didn't die during the operation right the anesthesia. He didn't die.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: He's alive, So it was successful. And I know firsthand
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: back in the day when I was around the locker
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: rooms a lot, that I had multiple players who come
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: up with that operation. It wasn't successful. I'm not as good.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't fix it, and then these guys have to
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: have another operation a lot, so you don't really know
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: if it was like successful until Jason Tatum gets back
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: out in the court and ends up playing very well,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and in that point you can say it's successful. But
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like a lot of people are trying
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to be playing positive and up beat and all this stuff.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But I'm not last I checked. I'm not Willy Wonka.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: We don't need your sugarcoat it here. This becomes an
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: animation situation for Jason Tatum and the Celtics, a suspended animation,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: if you will. The doctors elected. We are told to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: go right away into the operating room because that tends,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they said, tends to lead to a more favorable outcome.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: The math is not particularly great on this. That tells
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Jason
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Tatum is not expected to play another regular season basketball
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: game or playoff game. The earliest is October of twenty
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: twenty six, So October of twenty he's out the entire
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: season and they'll be ready to go possibly then by
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that time. Though by the time Tatum's back, think about
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the fact that two new champions are going to be named.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: The Celtics aren't going to win this year, so somebody
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: else can win this year, and then next year somebody
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: else is gonna win, So two new champions and will
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: have been crowned. These Celtics will have made a bunch
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: of roster moves very unlikely.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Al Horford, for.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Example, or Holiday are going to be on the Celtics
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: by the time that Tatum returns, and even Tatum's a.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Wild card by that point.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know what, you don't know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and you don't know whether Jason Tatum's going to be
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: able to come back at a high level now. Secondly,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: given the past Achilles injuries players such as Kevin Durant,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups, among others. Recently Dame Lillard, what
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: is the realistic expectation. We don't know what Lillard because
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: he's just had it. So what is the realistic expectation
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: for Jason Tatum's return? So mention Tatum. He just turned
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: twenty seven back in March. So he is now a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: member of a very special garage band, very special garage band,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the Band of Brothers. Only a handful of first team
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: all NBA players have ever missed a season in their twenties.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: That's the caveat this like this is an injury associated
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: with players who are near the end of their career,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: usually in the mid thirties and beyond, which in the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: sporting world means you're on the back side of your career.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: This is not typically an injury associated with someone under
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the age of thirty. So Tatum now can learn the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: secret handshake. I'm sure he's excited about that, as he's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: part of this special band of players. He is on
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a big board, not unless Terry in England, a big
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: board with the late great Bill Walton, the big Redhead,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Derek Rose of Chicago Bulls fame, and Bernard King of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. Now, Bernard King did get back to the form,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: he was an All star.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: However, the problem with this.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Is always however, it took several years for him to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: get back to that level, and that was a long
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: time ago, and then he got hurt again. And normally
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: when you have this injury, you are more prone to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: have the other achilles pop, more prone to re injure
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the achilles. So you're screwed in many respects in that department. Here,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: a ticking tick tick tick tick time bomb situation in
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that regard, the only one, the only one that you
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: should really look at as the hope. If you're a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum fan Celtic fan, and if you're Jason Tatum,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: it's got to be Kevin Durant. Now, Durant doesn't play
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: all that much, but that's the modern NBA. But Kevin Durant,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: statistically anyway, has been the closest too good. Durant has
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: not played more than fifty five games in any season
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: since he came back from his Achilles injury, but he
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: has been an elite player in terms of efficiencies, averaged
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: almost twenty nine points a game, seven rebounds, and six
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: assists or so three seasons since Pop goes the Achilles,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: So he's been able to put up some numbers. Not
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that it's translated to any of the teams he's been
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: on being any good in the playoffs anything along those lines.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Now final thought, We now pivot to Cleveland, Ohio, where
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA season came to an end on a random
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: night on a Tuesday. It was bye bye, bye bye Calves.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: You're out.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: So they lose to Indiana Pacers have advanced during the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: final four of the NBA. They cut down the nets. Congratulations,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: So question who deserves the most blame for the Calves.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: They blow a nineteen point lead at home in an
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: elimination game, But who deserves the most blamed for the Calves?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Just in general as they are exiting from the postseason now.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm a believer that the legendary status that one gets,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the legendary status is validated in playoff games. We don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: even really pay attention to the NBA during the regular
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: season anymore. It's all about the postseason.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That's postseason. So your validation is in the postseason. Fine,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and in this case, you are exposed in the postseason.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And that's really the lesson. Is that unfair? You shouldn't
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: say that they had a good team and the guys
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: got hurt. What's wrong, weally got hurt. You should say
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: you're meat. Now, I'm pretty confident my guys in Ohio,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Ohio Strip Club, john My p Ones in Northern Ohio
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and people that like to catch, they're with me on this, right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: You had this vibe all season when the Calves are
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: winning all these games and playing amazing basketball.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: You had this vibe.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: It's not legit, it's smoking mirrors, it's a magic show,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it's not real. And there we go, right, paper Tigers,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the Calves go out there. The lesson is they were exposed,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: they were emasculated. They won sixty four games, they were
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a dominant team in the first round against Miami. How
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: bad is Miami? Holy crap? So the Calves had some shrinkage.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: They went limp. We saw a pill for that against
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the upstart Pacers. You got Spider Mitchell the headliner there.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Spider Mitchell. Evan Mobley was the defensive player of the year.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: You've got Kenny Atkinson the coach of the year. All
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: these decorated players, and they all get to wear the duncecap,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: all of them fools gold, fools gold is the phrase
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that were the player. And how about Donovan Mitchell Man
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: always good regular season numbers, good regular season players, had
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: some big playoff games, and yet never been able to
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: put a team on his back and lead them to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the conference finals. Didn't do it on some good Utah
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Jazz teams. Hasn't done it in Cleveland, and that one stinks.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And you got the Pacers. Fun to watch, high octane
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Indiana offense who ran circles around Cleveland, especially in clutch time.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: That big time Tyrese Halliburton, the most overrated over player
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. He gave the Cleveland Cavaliers players the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: defensive player the star, Spider Mitchell and the coach of
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the Year gave them an atomic wedgie. In big moments,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: an atomic wedgie is what they got in Indiana. It's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing when you're out hustled. That's you're the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: better team. If the other team out hustle, you can
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: close the gap. That's like the oldest thing in sports,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Like if the team with the most talent
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't put the work in, the team with the less
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: talent can overcome that and then win the game.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: And so energy and effort win the fifty to fifty balls.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: There was an old NBA coach, Bill Fitzcher say, hustle stats,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you gotta win the hustle stats. You win the hustle status,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to win the game and good
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: things will happen to you if you do that. And
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: it turned out Indiana did that and they win and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Cleveland struggled a lot of careless turnovers, just stupid, stupid decisions.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: And so the Pacers are on to the Eastern Finals.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: And does anyone think they can't beat the Knicks? I mean,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: right now, today we do the show today. Today the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: matchup will be Indiana and New York, barring some kind
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: of colossal choke job by the Knickerbockers, which I'm not against.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not against that because that'd be good talk radio.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Having a bunch of New Yorkers crying because their team
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: blew it against the Celtic team without Jason Tatum. That'd
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: be good with good stories too. But the Pacers, whether
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: they play the Celtics without Tatum or they play the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Knicks who are relatively healthy, I'd still give the Pacers
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: a really good chance of winning that series.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we go, It's smaller, how about that? To the third degree?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Here we go, Here we go, this one, Big Ben
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: gets grilled.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Good look.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: One NFL insider some jests it on Monday that Derek
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Carr's retirement could be short lived and that we might
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: see the quarterback as soon as twenty twenty six. But
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: for another quarterback and needy team other than the Saints, Ben,
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: what odds do you give of Carr unretiring at some point?
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So A, I believe teams will contact Car about coming
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: out of retirement and playing and all that. I don't
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. I just think he's not
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't that good. I think he's burned out
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: on football right now, obviously.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: So do I think people will call him? Yes? Do
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I think that's going to happen. No, And B I
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: see him as a televangelist. I see him.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: As a televangelist at runs a mega church and makes
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: tons of money doing that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: So he won't need to play in the NFL.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: He'll make more money as a pastor than he will
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Next, it is.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Now being suggested that the Dallas Mavericks could use the
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: rights to Cooper Flag to trade for Giannis and Tetekumbo. Yeah, Ben,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: does the Greek freak make the MAVs immediate championship contenders? No?
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Because Anthony Davis is hurt all the time. Kyrie Irving's
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: also hurt all the time, so no, And Giannis he's a.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Good player, but you have the same issue. They're all hurt.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: So no, no, no, no no.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Just take Cooper Flag and hopefully he works out so
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Nico Harrison doesn't hate him.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Next.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: MLB has already seen two managers get the boots so
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: far this season, and now some are suggesting that Braves
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: manager Brian Snicker could be next. Ben Snicker has been
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: at the helmet in Atlanta for ten years. Do you
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: think his seat is officially hot?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, because as I understand it, this is going
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to be his last year anyway. A lot of the
• 33:20
