  Speaker 1: And we settle in for the brand new week. Made
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it back successfully from San Francisco, where they had a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: very unmemorable, very unmemorable Super Bowl. Nonetheless, our lead is,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and this will be a super Bowl heavy show. Play
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Hits, ma Man, play the Hits ran into our
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: old Boston there in San Francisco. He said, my man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you go play the Hits. Mall Man, all right, We'll
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: play the so our lead this hour in pretty much
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: every hour from the Bay Area, forty six miles south
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the heart of San Francisco, where the fentanyl is
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: flowing and Santa Clair a little cleaner. There to be
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: exact a location there, the forty nine Ers Stadium. They
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: do not pay us to name the stadium. It's if
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: they want to buy a commercial, they can contact the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: fine sales department at iHeart. But the stadium named after
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a Denhim jeans company, as the legend goes, Denim jeans
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: were invented in northern California during the Gold Rush back
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in the day. But there it was all the hype,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: all to build up Super Bowl sixty. We spent a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: year of our lives getting ready for this, planning it. Oh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: my team's gonna be in ah bah blah. So it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: ended up the Patriots and the Seahawks. That was the matchup.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You had Mike Turco and Chris Collinsworth, they had the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: call on and me, see, now, I don't know if
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you're watching or not, perhaps not, What the hell else
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: did you have to do? And if you didn't watch,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Anyway? What we watched so
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you would not half to it's our good myths for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the day. And you know, this was a Super Bowl
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a little different than most other Super Bowls when the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: lead on the game is the defense with Devin Witherspoon,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Derek Hall not the guy that's the president of the Diamondbacks,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and Byron Murphy and the rest of that Seattle defense,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the defense dubbed the dark Side oo scary for Mike McDonald,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and that defense getting all the love as the Seahawks
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: end up winning a dud of a Super Bowl over
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty nine at thirteen, and they win the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: second Super Bowl trophy in that team's history. That is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss did the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Seahawks defense win it or did the Patriots offense lose it?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: In Super Bowl sixty. So my thoughts on this. I've
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: got common deered brand ambassador and senior fellow and we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: will buying all of these things together and we are
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: gonna make some spaghetti and meatballs which will be more
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: enjoyable and more memorable than what we watched in this
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So a the answer to the question, did
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense win it? Or did the Patriots offense
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: lose it? The arrow on the Malor scoreboard is pointing
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: towards the New England offense and particularly Drake May and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it's blinking red like a hazard light. Woo, that's what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it sounds like. It's blinking and might want to get
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that check. So the Mallard mantra, if you've been with me,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: at all over the years. You know, one of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: malad mantras that we have here is the fact that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: most games are lost, they're not one. Sway is most
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: games are lost, they're not one. And on this night
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in Santa Claric, Drake May he was there. He commandeered
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. He commandeered the vomit comet, and it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was puke in the air everywhere. Three quarters are some
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of the worst football you'll ever seen in your life.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: On the biggest stage, the biggest moment. The lights were
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: too bright. This guy choked. He choked. He looked seasick,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: dizzy and unsure which galaxy he was in. Drake May,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Holy canoley right, turn the ball over off and pop
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: gun throws, bad decisions, panic in the air everywhere. That's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Drake May. So let's slow down, like this was not
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: forced by the Seahawks defense. Sales defense was good. This
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is not a mythological defense. Let's let's not get carried
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of it. This is not the Legion of Boom. I'd
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: rather have those guys. It's not certainly the eighty five Bears,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: or that it was the two thousand Ravens with Ray Lewis,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: where's the white suit ray? Back in the day, they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: didn't dominate history. They didn't. They accepted gifts and nicely
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: rapped gifts at that and from Drake May, which I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: believe in my math is correct. Two touchdowns courtesy of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Drake May. Gifts to the Seattle Sea. There were guys open.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you there were guys open my TV. Maybe
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it was my TV. There were guys open. And May's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: compass was broken, his internal clock needed some new batteries
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and as a result, the Patriots offense ended up running
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on fumes in this game. Now there were a bunch
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of garbage time completions. That doesn't really do anything for me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe for you it does. But that's window dressing. You've
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: wrecked the car, the cars of Jalapi. It's all torn up,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it's disheveled, and now congratulations and put some window dressing
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on it. So Seattle did not steal, right, did not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: steal the Lombardy. They did not. New England left it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: on the curb and they put it on offer up
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and said here take that. There's some trash out there.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's all a piece of metal, as Rob Manford would
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: call it. The baseball commissioner. So go pick it up. Okay,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I'll pick it up. Why not? What the heck? What
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: do you have to do? All right, now, here's Drake May.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We'll play one of these years. Cut one, Cut one
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: from Drake May on being unable to sustain the offensive
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: rhythm of the day. Take a list, you know, credit
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to them. We were moving.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: To solid in the first couple of rives and just
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: have a couple of negative plays that would kind of
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: push behind the chains. And then from there we just
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you know, couldn't you know, stay ahead of the chains
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and and and third and short we could pick up
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: some first downs and they had brought some some pressure
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: where you know, they got us a few times. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: that's gotta be better with the football. Make better decisions,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and I gotta make better throws when when the game
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: is uh, you know it's like that. I gotta make
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: some throws to help us.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Move with the football. Holy holy kenoy, my goodness, how
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: boring is see?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more page two here. Keeping the beat
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: going and going and going and going. We keep the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: beat going here and here's more from Drake May and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: uh talking about this as a learning opportunity, take a list.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: That's what fuz And I think that's the biggest thing
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: about my life is he gonna have tongues like this
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and tell you bounce back. And I think, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: all those got in the locker room, the A're gonna
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: use this as fuel. And I think you go to
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: war with those guys any time, any day, anywhere, a
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: bit to get back here and not have this feeling
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and have what they're feeling out there.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you want to go to well, you just
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not in the super Bowl. You do not want to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: go to war with him in the Super Bowl. Now
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and now the question. I noticed this at the end
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of the broadcast. NBC's Chris Collinsworth described the Patriots quarterback
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Drake May's performance as a quote learning experience. Is what
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: he said, is that how you see it? Is that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: how you see it? So and you heard what Drake
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: May said. Drake May also said that in the post game,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but during the broadcast, Chris Chris collins Worth, it was like, wow,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you know it was a learning, learning experience. So my
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: reaction to that, this is not summer school, It is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: not right. This was Super Bowl sixty. It's finals week,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it's the final exam, and Drake May showed up without
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a pencil. Well, you got to have a pencil, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty. I don't care you have to have
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a pencil. You didn't have a pencil, nomb nuts. Learning
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: experience is what you say when your kid spills a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: juice on the carpet. You say, well, I was a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: learning experience. Don't do it again. Okay, Not when your
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: quarterback turns the biggest stage into a slipping slide, which
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is what Drake May did in this game. May wasn't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: just bad. He wasn't just bad. He was a what
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: walking caution sign? May day, may day, may Day. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: telling you balls were behind receivers that were catchable. They
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were open. It wasn't shut down Seattle defense. Lack of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: awareness in terms of like a like a house cat
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the clock awareness of the house. You gotta know you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: gotta get rid of the ball, and you shouldn't be
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: getting sacked as often as Drake May get sacked. That's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a bad sign for the future of Drake May holding
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the ball like he you know, get owed him money
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and he sucked at a time
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you cannot suck. The lights were nuclear bright. We all
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: know it, right, I mean, not a great matchup, not
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a sexy matchup. Nobody gets all horny to watch Seattle
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in New England. These teams lacking star power and the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: game went the way we thought it would go. Was boring.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But Drake May became a brand ambassador in this game
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for dude wipes because there was a lot of popo
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: on the field. There stinky, messy situation really from soup
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to nuts. And let's stop the pop Warner excuses. Like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, we knew going in they played a cream
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: puff schedule and even with that, this was still a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: winnable game. They just decided to give it to Seattle. Right,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You played the cream puff schedule all year, and here's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: another opportunity against Sam Darnald, who didn't even play well.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You played worse than Sam Darnald, for God's sakes. That's embarrassing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That should be a felony for Drake May. Sam Darnald
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: didn't suck as much as you did. Now, Drake May
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of stats in the fourth court, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: game was already over, but come on, now he was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a net negative. And then Collinsworth wants to call it growth,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and I call it stepping into a ditch. Wearing concrete
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: cleats is what I call it. There, it was not
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a lesson. It was again, it was a warning situation here,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: As the great philosopher Eminem taught me years ago, you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: only get one shot, and there's no guarantee at all
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that the Patriots will be back with Drake May. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Drake May could be selling insurance within five years. You
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: never know. Opportunities are short lived. Drake May blew his
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he blew it. He was terrible. And I don't want
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to hear any excuses. That guy sucked. Okay, Drake May
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: was an embarrassment to the quarterback position. That guy he
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: couldn't handle the moment, just like he sucked in these
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: other games. And all my guys in Boston were like,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: well it's okay you before, Oh yeah, okay, Well he
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't fine. Okay, he wasn't fining you losers, all right,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: last word here to the coaching ranks. So the question
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: here is what does this Super Bowl win do for
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the legend, for the resume of Seattle Seahawks coach Mike McDonald.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: What does this win do you are now for the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: rest of your career a champion on your Wikipedia page,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: or it'll say super Bowl Champion coach on your Pro
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Football Reference page, it'll say super Bowl Championship coach. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: what does this do? Well, it does that. It's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: puffy sticker for Mike McDonald. It's a puffy sticker. That's it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: You move along. Everyone's acting like this turns him into
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi or something like that. It doesn't.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And McDonald he wins the game. And even during the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: broadcast they were talking about Tariko was talking about the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: fact and he was saying this on the broadcast late
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in the game, that he's a nice guy. And essentially
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the way I interpreted it, they were saying, he's a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: nice guy with the personality of drywall, of absolute drywall.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So Mike McDonald, even with this, is not a brand.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He's not a presence. I know, no stradinas gonna shrine
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to him, will come down. Okay, he's Iceberg, lettuce, no dressing,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: no crew tons. That's what Mike McDonald is. And even
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: with this, when you forget he's on the plate halfway
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: through the meal, he doesn't know, he doesn't move the needle,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and this does not make him a household name. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: unless I'm mistaken, I believe I'm correct on this. Mike McDonald,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the Seattles coach, is still a senior fellow at the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Dolesmore Society. He's pleasant, he's polite, he's completely anonymous. And
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: history is littered with coaches that have won Super Bowls
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and yet failed to really establish themselves as a household
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: name as a brand. If you want to go somewhat recently,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in Philadelphia, a Super Bowl winning coach and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not very memorable. Gary Koobiak won with the brine Goes again,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't stand out. You want to go back a few
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: more decades, George Seffert with the forty nine ers one
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I believe a couple with the Niners inheriting great Hall
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of Fame players, but nothing really memorable about George Seffert
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in that era. So yeah, you got a ring on
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the finger and dust on the legacy and all that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So that's great. This Super Bowl sixty, it doesn't to me.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It doesn't elevate Mike McDonald. It just laminates the resume.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: If you will, and any you know what you. Congratulations,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you won. But I don't think there's anything memorable that
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: we will take from this game. If you can tell
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: me one thing memorable about Mike McDonald, I'll wait for that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Just a game in general, but him in particular. I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: didn't see anything, and I watched the whole thing. The
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: commercials weren't very good. The pregame stuff was really annoying.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I had that on in the background, and then it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: was just kind of okay, it was fine. It was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl, and we'll move on and we'll hope
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for better super Bowls in the years to come. Because
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: this was not it. This is this is not a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: good product and just a whole thing from beginning to end.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It was not necessarily because of the broadcasters. It was
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: just the teams that were playing very unmemorable for the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: casual observer of the Super Bowl.

  Speaker 1: he will never play for the Raiders again from an
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: unnamed GM. An unnamed GM, that is a fact. He
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: told them that he will retire before he ever plays
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: for them again. Max Crosby supposedly telling the Raiders, I'm out, suckers,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: see what I had that part? Uh Bay. The quote says,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're actually going to trade him, they
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: being the Raiders. Miles Garrett said the same thing last year.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: We know how that ended up. So that is a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: are the odds? What are the odds that Max Crosby,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Raiders star edge rusher Max Crosby ends up changing
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: laundry this offseason. So my observations, I've got marketing, slogan, Disney, storytelling,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and HOGI Shop and we will combine all of these
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna go one, two, three and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: ABC is what we're going to do. But we always
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: start out with number one, all right, So we own
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: up the Mallor sports Book now not associated with DraftKings
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: or any other legitimate gambling operation. This is the sportsbook
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and the Mallard Sportsbook. Gods, we have Max Crosby wearing
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: different laundry, changing laundry this offseason. At minus one eighty
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: minus one eighty the malarods minus one eighty, that implies
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a sixty five percent chance that he is gone. Gee
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: oh and eight gone Max Crosby. It's the part of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the movie where they're doing the saber dance right now,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they're saber rattling Max Crosby and his group. It's the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: silly season. It's so's silly. It's the silly season of
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the NFL. So this is where you see those cryptic
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: messages that get sent out on social media that he said,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: he said, which are great for talk radio. They keep
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the VU meter moving on talk radio. It's wonderful. So
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Crosby and his guys are rattling the cage, if you will,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: rattling the cage because he is DNY all right, he's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: out and he's done. And he's also done with the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: updated marketing slogan. And I don't know how this thing
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: got improved. I'm not sure what ad firm the Raiders use.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I'm getting old, but when
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, the Raiders always went with the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: commitment of excellence. And somewhere along the way when they
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: moved to Oakland into Vegas, they changed it up. And
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: now the commitment to excrement doesn't have the same ring
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to it. But that's what the Raiders have done since
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they were really twenty years plus, twenty years plus the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: rich Gannon super Bowl where Barrett Robbins went to Tijuana
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to enjoy some nice shows and whatever else he was doing,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and that whole thing. But it has been the commitment
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to excrement for the Raiders. There pure organic excrement, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's just the way it is right now. So it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a vast wasteland, a dystopian world. There in the desert.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You've got Tom Brady, who's quote running thing but doesn't
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: want the title as the GM, so he hired a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: buddy of his old college buddy to be the GM
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: there from and he's running the Raiders from understand, from
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: his home in Miami, the Miami area, or the home
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he's got in La or the place in Boston, or
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: northern California, anywhere he wants to be. The South of France.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He's running the Miami Dolphin Miami, running the Raiders from Miami.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Uh oh, he did at one point want to run
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Meanwhile, you've got he Tom Brady and his bff,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero, the con artist Alex Guerrero, not my opinion,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's a fact he was convicted of it, roaming the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: halls in a well. He's like the wellness ghost, Alex Guerrero,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and he's haunting whoa, whoa. So if I'm Max Crosby,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: if I'm Max Crosby, i am looking around. I'm saying
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the Patriots they need some help on the defense. Was
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: pretty good, but they could use some more help. There.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You look around and say, what the Raiders trade me
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to an AFC team They certainly wouldn't trade you to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: an AFC West team, So you can eliminate the Chiefs
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: or your Max Crosby. What about the Ravens or Buffalo
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: or how about in the NFC the Lions of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Rams one of those teams, So what about that? Anyone
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: with a pulse? Anybody want Max Crosby? Does anyone want
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Mad Max? There? And what about the Raiders? They've got
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the number one pick coming in there. Oh, it's so excited.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, the new Messiah, the new Savior of the Raiders,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the old Hoosier. Yeah, appears that that is not enough.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby has seen the highlight reel, the sizzle reel
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of Fernando Mendoza and is clearly not impressed. He still
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: wants to go to divorce court there and Vegas is
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: shopping to see right now what they can get in return.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And we're just beginning the silly season today, the tenth
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: day of February's we're doing this in real time, so
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: we have the franchise tag period which is upcoming here
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks in February. Then we've got
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the freegg see first wave of free agency in March,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: always a fan favorite. And then we have the combines
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: which will be in March, and the lead up to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft in April, all blocks, building blocks on
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the silly season in the NFL. Now page two, staying
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: in Nevada, staying in the desert. There. The Raiders did
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: make it official. They welcomed the Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the latest NEPO baby to get a head coaching job
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they posted a twenty one second
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: video clip of his family, Clint Kubiak and he deplaning
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: on a private plane because God forbidden, you fly Southwest
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Airlines private plane in Vegas, all dotting the Raider gear,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: which can be getting You can't get that stuff now
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: at a discount store anyway. They have the desert backdrop
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: there and right oh the arrival now Raiders or now
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it's serious. Now it's serious. So Kubiak thirty eight. He
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: landed just hours after the Seattle Seahawks defense won the championship,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not the offense, the defense. You don't win championships on
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: field goals. You went on defense in this case. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: so super Bowl six, he goes the way of Seattle
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and the announcement, the post on social media, all that stuff,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and that's where we are. So the question what is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: your early assessment, What is your early assessment on Tom
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Brady's vision? And oh what a vision it is. Tom
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Brady with Clint Kubiak, who he slobbered all over. It
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: was illegal in the Bible belt. What Tom Brady was
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: saying about Kubiak on the broadcast is when Heed the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Seahawks forty nine er orf RAM game actually was af
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: RAM game anyway, So what is your assessment of Tom
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Brady's vision with the former now Seahawks offensive when air
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak now in charge with the Raiders, so they
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the Raiders, and most of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the people that have season tickets to the Raiders just
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: do that for financial gain because you can sell the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: tickets to fans of other teams and they'll buy them,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and so maybe you go to one game a year
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and you make some money on the other ones and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. But if you're a real Raider fan,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you should be petrified, terrified, and zombie fied at this
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: particular point. In honor of the late great Brian Wheeler,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: boom shacka Laca, the Portland Trailblazers broadcaster of years gone by.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But this is paranoia, is what this is, right, This
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: is a it's pattern recognition. At this point, we are
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: now at pattern recognition. Is where we are Tom Brady
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the puppeteer behind the curtain, and you look at this
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and then he's like, well, you know, he's essentially telling
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the Raider fans trust me, brawl, trust me. Bral that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the message from Tom Brady because you just hired a coach,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you just picked a quarterback a year ago, and they
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: were two of the worst. Pete Carroll and Genosmith and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Raider Nation, where have you gone? Their lonely eyes, they
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: pretty much roll their eyes at this particular point, they
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: roll their eyes and said, we've heard that before. We've
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: heard that one before. It appears to Tom Brady's a
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: big fan of the Disney storytelling though, and the Raiders
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in general love the fairy tale. You don't think of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the Raiders as a franchise that would embrace the fairy tale.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But this feels like the Princess and the frog right
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that you have in Vegas. You have to keep kissing
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: toads and you're waiting for Prince Charming to show up
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and it's not happening. And since twenty twenty one, when
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Raiders were forced to get rid of John Gruden
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: because of a strategic dump to the New York Times
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal by someone some mystery person
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: at the NFL. So Gruden got whacked. Then they had
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Rich Basakia the specialty, but they didn't want him around,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: so they hired Josh McDaniels. Because they wanted a guy
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that sucks as a head coach. They hired Josh McDaniels.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: He sucked as a head coach as the promotion for
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: his work. And then they hired Antonio Pierce who was
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: born to be a Raider until they had to coach games,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and then he sucked. And then lately it's been Pete
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Carroll and now it's this Jackwagon who comes in from
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Seattle that is not exactly a vision board. It is not.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It's like a yard sale type thing. It's like, hey,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you want this how much? I don't know what's your
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: best offer? Two bucks? Okay, you got that two bucks
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: right there. Done So. Clint Kubiak, who will be the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: latest head coach to get the baptism by fire, hired
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: as a sink or swim option, and he gets a
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: five year contract. So this is an one of these
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: guys gonna suck and then get paid out for at
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: least three years. And you got a rookie quarterback on
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the way, what could possibly go wrong? Rookie coach as
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a head coach, and a rookie quarterback in Fernando Mendoza,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the stop Watch, the doomsday clock, tic tic tic tic
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: tic tic dick, just like that. And so don't be shocked.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: The word that I'm hearing from reliable or unreliable sources
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: is that Gary Kubiak will parachute in. That's the daddy,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and he will be the adult in the room to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: hire your dad to help you out. That's the new
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: trend in the NFL. Worked out so well in Nashville
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: when the Titans hired Bill Callahan, the babysit Brian Callahan
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and then they're all gone. Now see you later on
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: that the father son football combo in the NFL, because
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: apparently experience is hereditary. Now, I guess that's the way
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this works here. It's the NEPO Baby Way. Oh, the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Nepo Baby Way. It's organizational roulette, and the Raiders are
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: betting on green, not zero green double zero. That's where
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are betting.
• 27:54
