• 1:42
  Speaker 1: over there. Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: show'd be so our lead this summer. We'll get back
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to the basketball if you want to talk about that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: At Indiana twenty point lead second quarter, blew the game
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as they had tight spinters. Tight took his syndrome there
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and the lead melted away, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so the extender gets it done again. He's said, well,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it's just a coincidence, but always Scott Foster, almost always
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Scott Foster out there again. So our lead this hour, though,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is from the King James version of NBA Conversation. Several
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of you reached out to me over the weekends. Did
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you see what the quote was? Can you believe that?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Oh my god? And this is all about Rich Paul,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the Lebron James creation, Rich Paul without Lebron. Rich Paul
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is hanging out somewhere in Ohio and has a regular job,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: maybe a good union job, but a regular job, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that's that. But now he's a gazillionaire, and I think
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is he married to to the singer Adele. I don't
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know they married. I don't think they're married. They're just
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they're just a stupid that's all, all right. So anyway, Rich
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Paul commenting on Lebron Lebron James, saying that Lebron James
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is recorded to Rich Paul, Lebron James does not have
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as much power as the perception is in basketball world.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: In the basketball world there, he does not decide, does
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not decide what the what is going on there the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Laker personnel moves and all that stuff. In a recent
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: appearance with member of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Rich Eisen, the NBA agent there claiming claiming Rich Paul
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: claiming that his client has limited involvement in key front
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: off his decisions. So I don't even saw this or not,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: maybe you missed it over the weekend. So Rich Paul
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: saying that the idea that Lebron James Lebron is the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: unofficial GM of the Lakers. He said, that's quote false,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that's false, he said, that's false. So we can slice
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this up a million different ways, but let us discuss
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for a couple of good minutes. Here the question for
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel, what you are part of? So Rich Paul,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Lebron's age, longtime business associated, business associate friend, Rich Paul,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: all of those things right, he's in the inner circle,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul. He goes on the record, Rich Ball saying
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that Lebron James does not run the Lakers. That's the quote,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: right there? Are you buying that? Are you buying that?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So I've got fingerprints, unleaded gasoline, and groundwork, and we
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going to make the gobbaol. We're gonna make the gabba
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: goouls what we're gonna make all right? So number I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: said number Yeah. Now the quote the great Andy Furman.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: We were born at night, but not last night. So no,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not buying what they're selling, not buying it. Now. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people that live in Suckersville,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the low information fan that we'll say, Well, Rich Paul
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: said it, and if he said it must be true,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't have said it if it's not true. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul said it. It's true, and about a being
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: bout the boom, just like that but we're not. We're
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not that. Listen. Rich Paul is a guy who is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: as far in the tank as you could possibly be
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for Lebron. He is a creation of Lebron James. He
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: would be nothing without Lebron. And I get it. You
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: are beholden to Lebron. You are, and I would be too.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I would lick Lebron's toes if I had the life
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul has, I would all because of Lebron. Nothing
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he did, he just happened to latches, you know what,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: into Lebron and there you go. And so I mean,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: don't kidd yourself here, come on, let's look at this objectively.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Lebron may not have the title general manager of the Lakers.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He may not have that particular title. It's just semantics.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It's all semantics. Lebron influences everything, and every man, woman
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and child knows it. Everything, coaches, trades, rotations, all of it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: His fingerprints, Lebron's fingerprints are all over every decision that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: has made. And it's been that way since he got there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And he wouldn't have gone there if it hadn't been
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that way. And that's just the way it is. Skinny jeans,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Rob Polenka, one of the all time great figurehead foe
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: general managers. I mean, if you were a Roppolok, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want him unning anything. Right. The guy don't know
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. Everyone knows that. But he's like, well,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he's a perfect foil. He has a pretty la, pretty boy,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: kind of punchable face. Rob Polenka. So he's out there
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: as the GM, and he's like, he don't make any decisions.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He just runs it by Lebron. He's a middle manager,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Rob Polenka, What do you think, Lebron? All right, you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: want that, I will make that happen. Sure. And it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: not even about being swayed, per se. It's not about
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: being swayed. It is the business model. That is the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: business model, Lebron James, GM by proxy, g M by proxy,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Lebron James there without it. He literally hired the coach.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The Lakers hired the coach because the qualifications. The guy
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was Lebron's podcast buddy A Rich Paul. No, Lebron's not
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: making DECI dude, they hired the Lebron's podcast co host
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: as the couch. You think we're all morons? Seriously, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: hired the Lakers hired a podcast guy as the coach
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: because he was doing a podcast with Lebron. If Lebron
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: had been doing a podcast with Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: would be coaching the Lakers right now. Do you realize
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: how ridiculous this is? Do you understand how stupid is anything?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: No, Lebron doesn't really make these decisions. I mean, so
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you've got players who have gone on the record saying, well,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I wasn't I wouldn't getting a playtime, so I went
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't go to the coach. I went to Lebron
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to get more playtime. I went to Lebron. You get
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: more play time. Oh my god. But he doesn't run
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. It doesn't run the Lakers, just like it's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it's just another quinkid like Scott Foster when he officiates
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: an NBA playoff game where the team is trailing in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a series. You know, ninety percent of the time that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: team that's trailing ends up winning. But it's just a coincidence.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It's just weird. It's just one of those weird things
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about life. That's it. Now Page two to the Gossip World.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm a sucker for that world. So Danica Patrick,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we used to play a great game on this show,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: which lap will Danica rekin Man. Was that a fun
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: game and we always had winners. We always had winners.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: She would wreck ninety five percent of the races. It was.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It was wonderful anyway, So Dannic and Patrick now washed up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Former athlete. She recently opened up on the Sage steel
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Show It Must to Be a Podcast describing her relationship
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: with NFL legend and Rogers. She described it as quote
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: emotionally abusive. She said the breakup was the most painful
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: experience of her life. So what is your reaction to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: people are bringing this up? So Steelers can't sign Aaron
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Rodgers now because this is some baggage and this is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a mess and alls. So this is I would file
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: this one based on the information I have as an
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: unnecessary airing of dirty laundry and a personal grievance. That's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: where I have this one filed based on the information
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that I have. Now, listen, she's obviously free to speak
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and do whatever she wants there. But let's not pretend
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that there was not ulterior motives by throwing this out here,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that there's ulterior motives here by Danica Patrick, because it
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: does add unleaded gasoline on top of the inferno is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what it does here. And Danik, she didn't just say
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that it's painful. She said emotionally abusive, very dramatic. There's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: some people think that very seriously. Right. I would argue though,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that most relationships that end there's some kind of emotional
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: trauma that happens. Otherwise you just stay together, right, otherwise
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you just stay together. And she does this randomly on
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a podcast years after Rogers was with Danik. That's a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: long time ago, and that's been many, many years since
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they were together. So why now maybe just to clear
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the air, right, clear the air, or or to get
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a little publicity, you know, your little publicity out there
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that was really talking about Danic and Patrick these days
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: she's irrelevant. So and it's just the latest in a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: long winding road if you keep track of the gossip
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: here Rogers, he's had some issues the public figure Aaron
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Rodgers and relationships, the family drama, well documented drama with
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: former teammate Check coaches Check. So the one common denominator
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is the drama. That's the one common denominator of the drama.
• 11:10

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: hit small Man Playlits. We'll go to Jerry's world. We'll
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: start out in Jerry's world now when in doubt, the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: star will fill up the content kitty. And yet again
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: here we are holiday weekend and Jetta. Yeah. Oops it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: happened again. Oops, it happened again. Some more chatter about
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the relationship between wide receiver George Pickens, who was decommissioned
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: thrown overboard by the Pittsburgh Steam and how he fits
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in with Cowboys in Dallas, the X Steeler pass catcher
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: now part of Jerry's universe, and how's that going. Well,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I hadn't played a game yet, so it's fine. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: hadn't played a game yet. Everything's great. They are planting
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: stories in the media that he's been a model teammate,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: everything is wonderful, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: There was one a dendum to this that I thought
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is worthy of some talk, and I don't know if
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you saw it or not. It happened recently. The word
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: on the street out of the Dallas area is that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: not only is Dak Prescott planning on helping out here,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but Jerry Jones. That Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones both
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: are going to shield George Pickens from the criticism but wait,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: there's more. Okay, So that's fine. You expect them to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: help out. There's been some chatter that they're even going
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to calling on the media in Dallas to back off
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: criticism of George Pickens to allow him to grow to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: blossom like a flower. So let us discuss the question, right,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: How does the Cowboys plan to protect wide receiver George
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Pickens sound to you?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: So?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I've got handholding, lobster, and flight school, and we will
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to drive away in a station wagon. Now, they when
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the last time they made a station wagon? They don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: make those anyway. I haven't made those in thirty years
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: at least. Why did they stop making the station wagon?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Would anyone buy the station wagon if they had? I
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: know it was replaced by the minivan, but and then
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the suv. But if they had the station wagon, I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: know those people collect them. Why don't they make him
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: any things that make you go anyway? To get to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the point, how does the Cowboys plan to protect wide
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: receive George Pickings sound to you?
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: So?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Number? I said, Number Jerry Jones has decided to use
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a carbon copy. Now I would say he would have
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: used a laser printer to recreate this, but it's Jerry,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: so he's using a carbon copy of Cowboy Season gone by.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And you might remember the famous stories that are part
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of Internet lore that Dez Bryant famously had a babysitter.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He was on the knucklehead spectrum and so in an
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: effort to fully monetize, fully monetize his performance. The legend
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of the Internet is Jerry Jones hired a round the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: clock babysitter to keep des Bryant's nose clean. Now, whether
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that's true or not is open for debate. However, it
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: is not open for debate that Jerry Jones will do
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: whatever he has to do in terms of taking a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: diminished asset, trying to get that diminished asset, squeeze some
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: extra toothpaste out of the tube beer, and it sounds
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like things are not that extreme with George Pickens and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: h Nevertheless, I would file the information that we have.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I would file this under the overprotective handholding category, like, like,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: how's this gonna work? Like they're gonna play big brother here,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and uh, they're gonna like put up what they're gonna
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: put up a human firewall around George Pickens locker. Spoiler alert,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert. It ain't gonna work, dude, It's not gonna work.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: This is the the NFL. You're not on the playground
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: at elementary school. You're not doing recess, you're not on
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the swing set, You're you're not playing hopscotch, you're not
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: playing you know whatever. You just it's not gonna work.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You play for the Dallas Cowboy. The Steelers have a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: lot of media. The Steelers are a high profile profile team.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They have a national following the Dallas Cowboys. They make
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the Steelers seem like they're a Canadian Football League team
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the way the amount of attention that they get and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you're living under the microscope, and especially a guy like
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: George Pickens, who you know, if you're covering the Cowboys
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and you want to get a story George pickketts, who
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: are you gonna call? You call George Pickens up. He's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: very emotional, right, he's unpredictable. Uh, but he's unpredictable in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a way where he's predictable, where you know he's at
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: any moment. It's Uh, it's the fuse is going to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: reach the end and then cap boom with with Pickens.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So hey, I'm in it, good talk radio. I'm excited
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: about this and I will enjoy all the efforts made
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: by Dak Prescott and uh, what's that that puppet coach
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer's kid? And then who shouldn't be the coach? And
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: then Jerry Jones? So why not all right now? Page two,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: page number two to the schedule we go? Always a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: fun topic. Now Joe Burrow. Somewhat recently, Joe Burrow got
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on the bully pulpit and complained, complain, complain, complain, complain.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Did you you remember the complaints? So he was upset
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because the Bengals don't get to play international games. He
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: wants to play international games. The main complaint, though, he
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: was grumbling about the Cincinnati football team having to play
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: prime time yet again in Baltimore. Fourth straight season, fourth
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: straight season, the Bengals will play a primetime game against
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: their blood rival the Ravens. There in front of sports
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: with Coleman in Baltimore. So the NFL vice president of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: broadcast planning, how much do you think that job pays?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: How much has that been? Three? Four hundred thousand. How
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: much is that job? Pick? So the guy's name Mike North.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: When I think of Mike North, I think a proud Chicagoan,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement award winning radio man
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Mike North. But this is Mike North, the NFL vice
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: president of Broadcasting and Planning, who told the state funded
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Team website that the message from Joe Burrow has been received,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: even if it did not change anything this year. The
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: empty suit for the NFL said, when trends like that emerge,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we probably have to adjust at some point. Close quote. Okay,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: so the NFL admitting it quote probably has to adjust
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: following Joe Burrow's complaints about the schedule. What is your
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: reaction to this news? So this is the rare, the rare,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: very rare confession. It is a confession. Uh. And it's
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a multi billion dollar entity, the NFL. And here and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: what are they doing? They are doing something truly remarkable.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They're confessing, They're admitting they're gonna change. This is not good.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Well's sort of right. And having documented for many, many
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: years behind these microphones of Fox Sports Radio and other places,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: but mostly Fox Sports Radio, having documented the NFL, you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: know how rare it is for the NFL to ever
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: admit they f anything up at any point. There is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a better chance of going out on a dingy out
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in the Atlantic and catching a blue lobster. There's a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: better chance of that happening, right one in two million,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Joe Burrow made the simple observation,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: very simple, that the NFL current scheduling model there's a glitch,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and the Bengals are not a glamour team. The NFL
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: worries about the teams that get big ratings. The Bengals
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: don't get big ratings. The Cowboys get ratings, the Steelers,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the usual suspects who have national followings get ratings. The
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Bengals don't. They don't get bad ratings. But they're they're
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: not moving the wrecking ball around in the in that department.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So in a moment, a rare moment of clarity or
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: perhaps confusion, the NFL responded, And of course they use
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the word probably, which is a weasel word, corporate speak
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: for we might change something. We're not guaranteeing it. We probably,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we might, we might not. Probably. Yeah, it's leaning that direction.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And so like Joe Burrow, he's onto something. So probably
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I probably will help you move your sofa. I might not,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: but probably I.
• 21:42

• 21:45
