- 3:46Speaker 1: we've got people that contribute from all over the place,
- 3:49Speaker 1: So that'll be coming up later this hour. And I've
- 3:51Speaker 1: not seen the winners, and they give me envelopes. I
- 3:54Speaker 1: don't know who won have no idea, have no idea.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So all that will be coming up, and we'll try
- 3:59Speaker 1: to do the riddle as well. But our lead this
- 4:00Speaker 1: outur get back to it. I know we had the
- 4:02Speaker 1: selection Sunday festivities. We did a monologue about that earlier.
- 4:04Speaker 1: That'll be up on the podcast World Baseball Classic. Paul
- 4:07Speaker 1: Skins and Team USA get her done as the Big, bad,
- 4:11Speaker 1: Mighty Dominican Republic team is eliminated by the Americans, even
- 4:15Speaker 1: though they had basically the home field advantage in Miami,
- 4:17Speaker 1: but they got the boat. Our lead this hour from
- 4:20Speaker 1: the home of the Ben mallor Chicken Fingers. That's right Liberty, Missouri,
- 4:26Speaker 1: not far away from Arrowhead Stadium. An interesting wrinkle kicked around.
- 4:32Speaker 1: If you're paying attention at all over the weekend, maybe
- 4:34Speaker 1: not a lot of people tune out over the weekend.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I'm busy. I have things should do well. With Patrick
- 4:40Speaker 1: Mahony rehabing mahomes rehabbing from Snapcrackle pop his mutilated ACL
- 4:47Speaker 1: The streets are talking talk talk, talk, talk, talk, what
- 4:52Speaker 1: are they saying? Now, we're hearing that the chiefs are
- 4:55Speaker 1: considering exploring the veteran quarterback market, which includes dudes, which
- 5:01Speaker 1: includes Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. Uh oh, spaghettio. All right,
- 5:14Speaker 1: so that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
- 5:16Speaker 1: the question how many alarm bells? How many alarm bells
- 5:22Speaker 1: would Russell Wilson in a chief's helmet and uniform set off?
- 5:29Speaker 1: So my take, I've got quantum leap, menu board and
- 5:34Speaker 1: Indiana Jones, and we will combine all of these things together,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and we're gonna play some whiffle balls. What we're gonna do?
- 5:42Speaker 2: All right?
- 5:43Speaker 1: For some reason they put that on TV. I think
- 5:45Speaker 1: they clearly run out of the thie. I thought when
- 5:47Speaker 1: they put Benny versus the Penny on TV they'd run
- 5:49Speaker 1: out of ideas, But apparently putting Whiffleball on TV, they've
- 5:52Speaker 1: officially run out of ideas. All right, So to lead
- 5:55Speaker 1: off here, the answer to the question how many alarm bells?
- 5:58Speaker 1: How many alarm bells would Russ Wilson in a chief's
- 6:01Speaker 1: uniform set off? The answer is all of them, every
- 6:05Speaker 1: single one of them, even JJ and Retino's Everyone smoke detector,
- 6:10Speaker 1: check the carl alarm, check the panic button at the bank,
- 6:14Speaker 1: check check, check all of it right. The guy has
- 6:18Speaker 1: been reheated and repackaged more times than gas station chili
- 6:23Speaker 1: at this point, okay, and taste about as good as
- 6:26Speaker 1: gas station chili. Watching him play, it's about as enjoyable
- 6:29Speaker 1: as eating gas station chili. Andy Reid. One of his
- 6:33Speaker 1: more famous quotes is film Don't Lie. It's an Andy
- 6:36Speaker 1: Reid quote from his days with the Philadelphia Eagles, film
- 6:39Speaker 1: Don't Lie. Russell Wilson's film at this point is a
- 6:43Speaker 1: crime scene. It's a crime scene. That's what it is,
- 6:47Speaker 1: all right, That's what it is. It's a crime scene.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And you look at now Seattle, he started cracking crack
- 6:52Speaker 1: a locking, not a good way at the end of
- 6:55Speaker 1: his run in Seattle. The only one that couldn't see
- 6:57Speaker 1: that was No Stredinis. Everyone else new, this guy's getting
- 7:01Speaker 1: close to the end or something's wrong with him. They
- 7:03Speaker 1: thought maybe it was an injury whatever. So he started
- 7:07Speaker 1: to decline in Seattle. Last year or so, he went
- 7:11Speaker 1: to Denver and had the full collapse. When he went
- 7:13Speaker 1: to Denver, some people said, well, they had Numbnuts is
- 7:17Speaker 1: the coach early on. So maybe he just needed to
- 7:19Speaker 1: get out of Denver and go somewhere, all right, So
- 7:21Speaker 1: he left Denver. He went to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, the
- 7:25Speaker 1: confluence right there, and then he went to the Giants,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and he stamped, he stamped his career being gone in
- 7:32Speaker 1: certified mail, certified mail. He stamped it cooked, overcooked, burnt ends,
- 7:38Speaker 1: which are delicious, by the way, watching Russ not delicious.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Not delicious.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Here.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Wilson's got more lives at this point than an Alley Cat.
- 7:46Speaker 1: The fact that now Kansas City hasn't signed him, and
- 7:48Speaker 1: this is just a rumor, and most rumors don't happen. Nevertheless,
- 7:53Speaker 1: for this guy to go for three teams and show
- 7:55Speaker 1: that he can't play Denver, Pittsburgh and the Giants, and
- 7:59Speaker 1: then for Kansas City to be rumored, that's it's gotta
- 8:02Speaker 1: be bogus, right, gotta be bogus. This will be live
- 8:05Speaker 1: number five, Life number five for the Alley Cat, Life
- 8:08Speaker 1: number five. At some point, at some point, you have
- 8:13Speaker 1: to you have to say, hey, you are what your
- 8:15Speaker 1: tape says you are, and that's stop romanticizing Russell Wilson,
- 8:19Speaker 1: who happened to be writing the coattails of the leg
- 8:23Speaker 1: in a boom. This is a stop. Mister mister unlimited
- 8:30Speaker 1: is now mister mister unwatchable. That's what he is, unwatchable.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Wilson underwent at some point a quantum leap, and from
- 8:40Speaker 1: mighty mouse to a wood rat with shoulder pads. Russell
- 8:45Speaker 1: Wilson like a like a mouse at this not mighty mouse.
- 8:49Speaker 1: And for the Chiefs, you look at Kansas City here
- 8:53Speaker 1: it's the old line that I think was Tom Moore,
- 8:55Speaker 1: the Colts offensive coordinator said when they had Peyton manning
- 8:58Speaker 1: with the Colts, and and one of the broadcasters said,
- 9:01Speaker 1: how come you don't practice practice with your backup? And
- 9:06Speaker 1: he said, well, if number eighteen gets her, we're porked,
- 9:08Speaker 1: then we don't practice pork He didn't use the word porked.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I used the word porked. But that's it. Does it
- 9:13Speaker 1: really matter who the Chiefs quarterback is. They had Gardner Minshew,
- 9:17Speaker 1: he got hurt. Then there was some other guy I've
- 9:18Speaker 1: never even heard of who got to play and all that.
- 9:21Speaker 1: But Wilson, he underwent this quantum leap with a bunch
- 9:25Speaker 1: of these teams, and he proved that that's who he is.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And so if you're the Chiefs, there is not enough pixie.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I've been to a rood it was awesome, beautiy. We
- 9:34Speaker 1: got to go before they moved to some generic dome
- 9:38Speaker 1: stadium out in Kansas. You got to get the arrowhood
- 9:40Speaker 1: before they shut that bad boy down. But nonetheless, there
- 9:43Speaker 1: is not enough pixie dust in air. And now, maybe
- 9:46Speaker 1: if you eat the ben Maler chicken fingers, it's possible
- 9:48Speaker 1: that Russ could come back if he has a play
- 9:50Speaker 1: to those ben Maloor chicken fingers. Outside of that, no,
- 9:53Speaker 1: so why bother, Like what are you doing? This feels
- 9:58Speaker 1: to me like a bit of agent propaganda that it's like, hey,
- 10:03Speaker 1: if we throw this out there and some useful idiot
- 10:07Speaker 1: in the media will eat it up. Now. Furthermore to Pittsburgh, PA,
- 10:12Speaker 1: we go, where former Panthers running back Rico dow Dill
- 10:17Speaker 1: making some news recently clapping back at speculation that he
- 10:21Speaker 1: has quote attitude issues say what yeah attitude issues here,
- 10:27Speaker 1: claim made after he left Carolina to sign with the
- 10:31Speaker 1: Steelers and with Carolina playing pretty well right pretty well
- 10:36Speaker 1: last year, yet was not brought back Carolina and the
- 10:39Speaker 1: Pittsburgh football team do play each other. He said he
- 10:41Speaker 1: made sure to have that game circle, which is kind
- 10:43Speaker 1: of obvious, Like you don't need to say that, it's obvious.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You're playing a team that used to play for That's
- 10:48Speaker 1: how that works. Now, dow Dill did clap back. The
- 10:51Speaker 1: reason I'm bringing this up is he did clap back
- 10:54Speaker 1: at a report that claimed he had a bad attitude.
- 10:58Speaker 1: And you know, he said he had the game circling
- 11:00Speaker 1: all that, and he quoted the post that wrote that
- 11:05Speaker 1: he had a bad attitude and said, quote never in
- 11:07Speaker 1: my life, Never in my life. Forwards, never in my life.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Rico Dowdill running back now of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So
- 11:17Speaker 1: the question the newest addition to the Steelers' backfield, running
- 11:21Speaker 1: back Rico Dowdell clapping back and claims that he had
- 11:24Speaker 1: attitude issues with the Carolina Panthers. What do you make
- 11:28Speaker 1: of this? So when a guy starts swatting away rumors
- 11:35Speaker 1: like their mosquitoes. When this starts happening, all right, like
- 11:40Speaker 1: they're just you're added summer barbecue somewhere and you're swatting
- 11:43Speaker 1: away mosquitoes, my radars starts beeping, beep, beep, beep, beep beep,
- 11:49Speaker 1: beep beep beep beep, beep, beep, beep beep. Just that's
- 11:51Speaker 1: what it's doing. Beep beep, beep beep beeps. Yeah. Uh,
- 11:55Speaker 1: something's going on. Something's going on. So DOWDLL burst on
- 11:59Speaker 1: the scene. When Chuba Hubbard got hurt, Chuoba Hubbard got hurt,
- 12:04Speaker 1: and oh man, Carolina has no quarterback. Bryce Soon's not
- 12:07Speaker 1: that good. Now they have no running back. They're screwed.
- 12:10Speaker 1: And now Deale came in and it was like the
- 12:12Speaker 1: kool aid man, Oh yeah, And he kicked down the
- 12:15Speaker 1: window and the door thing and he kicked it all
- 12:18Speaker 1: down and he ran for a thousand yards, ran for
- 12:22Speaker 1: a thousand yard, averaged four point six yards per carry,
- 12:25Speaker 1: four point six per pop in the backfield. That's a
- 12:28Speaker 1: pretty good year for running back. Now, it's not the
- 12:30Speaker 1: greatest year because he split time in all that a
- 12:32Speaker 1: thousand yards. I don't get all excited about that because
- 12:35Speaker 1: it's not that impressive in a seventeen game season. But
- 12:37Speaker 1: as a part time running back to go for a
- 12:39Speaker 1: thousand yards, and he did play for a stretch it
- 12:42Speaker 1: was like five or six games or something like that.
- 12:43Speaker 1: He did get a lot of time but that was impressive,
- 12:47Speaker 1: and yet Carolina, despite those numbers, Carolina said thanks, but
- 12:53Speaker 1: no thanks, and the team did not offer him a
- 12:58Speaker 1: contract as big as Pittsburgh offered him. And so teams
- 13:01Speaker 1: generally don't let productive running backs walk unless there's some
- 13:06Speaker 1: smoke in the kitchen. Unless there's some smoke in the kitchen. Now,
- 13:10Speaker 1: he did go to Pittsburgh, which is coached by a
- 13:13Speaker 1: former Cowboy coach, So dowd Dill was in Dallas and
- 13:17Speaker 1: the rotun Mike McCarthy had him. Clearly, McCarthy thought that
- 13:21Speaker 1: the attitude was not that big a problem, otherwise they
- 13:23Speaker 1: would not have brought him to Pittsburgh. I would assume,
- 13:26Speaker 1: although it's possible that Mike McCarthy was just eating a
- 13:29Speaker 1: nice sandwich and didn't even know that they added dow Dill.
- 13:33Speaker 1: So it is possible. But generally, if you're really good,
- 13:36Speaker 1: teams don't let you go. They have this thing called
- 13:38Speaker 1: the salary cap, and there's ways to keep you. And
- 13:41Speaker 1: something happened, whether it was an attitude or something else.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Dowdyll looked at the menu board. If you look at
- 13:47Speaker 1: his menu board here and you see what's up there,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and it's like, well, win a mith. It's not in
- 13:53Speaker 1: and out, but this is a three by three that
- 13:56Speaker 1: he went from the Cowboys, had a thousand yards with
- 13:59Speaker 1: the Boys his last year, went to the Carolina Panthers,
- 14:02Speaker 1: and now he's going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Three teams
- 14:05Speaker 1: in three seasons usually not a good thing. So what
- 14:11Speaker 1: does this mean? Is this a smelling salts wake up
- 14:14Speaker 1: call for the player? Is he gonna wake up? Or
- 14:16Speaker 1: is Rico dad dil just to steal pinball? And this
- 14:19Speaker 1: is the way it is. He's a transient position and
- 14:22Speaker 1: he's just gonna bounce bouncy, bouncy bouncy from team to
- 14:25Speaker 1: team to team like a metal ball ricocheng around the
- 14:29Speaker 1: NFL arcade? Is that how that's gonna go? Time will
- 14:32Speaker 1: tell meanwhile, crazy story over the weekend if you saw
- 14:35Speaker 1: this or not, I was like, man, this is nuts.
- 14:39Speaker 1: So the late Colts owner Jim Ursay, Now we had
- 14:45Speaker 1: told stories, we heard about his memorabilia fetish. It's not
- 14:52Speaker 1: that kinky a fetish. So he just loved collecting stuff
- 14:55Speaker 1: from very successful musicians and athletes and this was his
- 14:59Speaker 1: michigas and he would buy a lot of this stuff
- 15:02Speaker 1: and that was his thing, and he liked it, and
- 15:05Speaker 1: he'd spend a lot of money on it. And Jim
- 15:08Speaker 1: Rsay died not that long ago, and his family apparently
- 15:13Speaker 1: wanted none of his member of Bilia. They think they
- 15:15Speaker 1: just sold everything. I think they sold everything and it
- 15:19Speaker 1: went all. It went to auction. There was a Christie's
- 15:21Speaker 1: auction that ended over the weekend, and at the auction
- 15:24Speaker 1: house they anticipated that the collection would sell for about
- 15:29Speaker 1: forty million dollars. Just a lot of money. It's a
- 15:32Speaker 1: lot of money. Forty million dollars. Stuff's about worth about
- 15:34Speaker 1: forty million, okay. So they went to auction at Christie's
- 15:37Speaker 1: auction house and the collection of the late Jim Irsay
- 15:42Speaker 1: sold for ninety three point seven million, fifty three point
- 15:49Speaker 1: seven million dollars, more than it was supposed to sell
- 15:53Speaker 1: for that more than double, okay. That's all. The items
- 15:59Speaker 1: on the website include, you did various guitars and other
- 16:02Speaker 1: stuff from very famous musicians, very famous musicians like members
- 16:07Speaker 1: of the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Prince, Johnny Cash
- 16:13Speaker 1: the greatest of them all. And there were also artifacts
- 16:16Speaker 1: linked to Jackie Robinson, Wayne Gretzky, and Muhammad Ali Float
- 16:22Speaker 1: like a butterfly and sting like a bee, and they had.
- 16:26Speaker 1: The most expensive items sold was a Pink Floyd lead
- 16:31Speaker 1: guitarist Fender Stratocaster guitar that sold for fourteen point five million.
- 16:36Speaker 1: David Gilmour guitar fourteen point five million. It was supposed
- 16:41Speaker 1: to go for two to four million, so it sold
- 16:44Speaker 1: for at least ten million more than the projections, which
- 16:47Speaker 1: tells you whoever bought it, huge Pink Floyd fan, Huge
- 16:50Speaker 1: Pink Floyd fan. Right, obvious, a bunch of others. Now
- 16:53Speaker 1: the question jim Ursa's memorabilia, the Late Colts owner selling
- 16:59Speaker 1: at auction for ninety three point seven million, How does
- 17:04Speaker 1: this reshape the legend? How does it reshape the legend? All?
- 17:09Speaker 2: Right?
- 17:09Speaker 1: So of course, jim irsay did this right? What a
- 17:14Speaker 1: great final act for jim irsay? Right? The man collected
- 17:20Speaker 1: jerseys and guitars and artifacts like a billionaire Indiana Jones.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Jim irsay, without the Temple of Doom, I guess well,
- 17:31Speaker 1: the Temple of Doom would be the drugs. But listen,
- 17:33Speaker 1: ever say it was quite the character, quite the character
- 17:36Speaker 1: in his life. There's not that many characters left. We
- 17:39Speaker 1: need characters like this to make the world more fun.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And so he was like a billionaire Indiana Jones who
- 17:46Speaker 1: just strolled into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Is I have a better collection than the rock and
- 17:50Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame? You know, It's like he went
- 17:52Speaker 1: to the gift shop there and just bought everything. Well, no,
- 17:55Speaker 1: what are you doing? Forget the legend of Zeldo, which
- 17:58Speaker 1: is this old game, the legend No, no, the legend
- 18:01Speaker 1: of Ursa, the legend of jim irsay Ers did not
- 18:05Speaker 1: just collect stuff. He hoarded with style. Of course. The
- 18:09Speaker 1: thing about life, which is, you know it's good and bad.
- 18:13Speaker 1: It's like you're not gonna live forever, right, anything you
- 18:16Speaker 1: get you're just a steward. You're just collecting crap and
- 18:18Speaker 1: then somebody else you're to leave it behind. You come
- 18:21Speaker 1: into the world with nothing and you leave with nothing.
- 18:23Speaker 1: But in between you can pick up a lot of
- 18:25Speaker 1: cool stuff. You can pick up a lot of cool stuff.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And he went hard in the paint in that memorabilia
- 18:31Speaker 1: paint jim irsay did and wild. He also went hard
- 18:35Speaker 1: with drugs, booze and not just artifacts. Everything he did
- 18:39Speaker 1: he did do extreme. Jim irsay and the auction. It
- 18:43Speaker 1: does not shrink the myth. It marinates it. To me,
- 18:47Speaker 1: this is a marinating situation for jim Irsay. It's a
- 18:51Speaker 1: flavor and handser to the memory of jim Irsay and
- 18:54Speaker 1: the character that he was. He just kind of inherited
- 18:57Speaker 1: the team. His dad made all the money, made the
- 18:58Speaker 1: family money, and he just had happen to win the
- 19:00Speaker 1: genetic lottery. And he was born into this family and
- 19:06Speaker 1: had all kinds of issues and all that. But wow,
- 19:09Speaker 1: when it came to memorabilia, Jim Orsay had the Mitis touch.
- 19:14Speaker 1: He absolutely did with sports junk, ninety three point seven
- 19:17Speaker 1: million in guitars and sports memorabilia and all that stuff.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I guess most of this was guitars and music stuff.

- 27:21Speaker 6: Kim Kardashian was a Pokemon card thing this weekend. She
- 27:25Speaker 6: bought a thirteen thousand dollars Charizard for a card.
- 27:30Speaker 1: What card? I know, I know, it's come on, it's
- 27:33Speaker 1: a little much, though I know I would know. I
- 27:35Speaker 1: collected cards when I'm of the generation when I was
- 27:38Speaker 1: in high school or as a teenager, they were like,
- 27:40Speaker 1: this is how you gonna get rich. You're gonna buy
- 27:41Speaker 1: rookie cards. So I about every rookie card, about every
- 27:44Speaker 1: error card you know in that era, like the Dale
- 27:47Speaker 1: Murphy reverse negative, the Billy ripkin Ff baseball battle I bought. Well,
- 27:51Speaker 1: the problem is other people bothering. Then there was this
- 27:54Speaker 1: upper deck scam that I guess there was a documentary
- 27:57Speaker 1: about it, where like the most valuable card every kid
- 28:00Speaker 1: wanted in that era was his Ken Griffid Junior Rookie
- 28:02Speaker 1: card and then the people, if I have it right
- 28:05Speaker 1: that the people that made the documentary, the people at
- 28:07Speaker 1: Upper Deck were like, well, this is just free money,
- 28:10Speaker 1: so they just kept printing them. So the card's like
- 28:13Speaker 1: not worth much of anything.
- 28:15Speaker 4: Uh Oh.

- 33:34Speaker 6: Lord doesn't mean I also had that the one where
- 33:36Speaker 6: the guy is like, oh, it's all over my chin
- 33:38Speaker 6: and my mouth.
- 33:39Speaker 5: But I didn't know who the caller was. I didn't
- 33:40Speaker 5: put his name on there, so he couldn't get in
- 33:42Speaker 5: the car.
- 33:43Speaker 1: But the goal will be to have more. Yes, we agree,
