• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, play the hits, mom Man,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: play the hits, and oh, we got a hum dinger,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hum dinger of a story here from the flea market
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of football. Now, we were hoping to have a bevy
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of NFL transactions to breakdown as we anticipated heading into
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the new month and some fugazi date on the NFL
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: calendar that there would be some movement. Now, he thought
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the big story would be A J. Brown who would
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: go from Philadelphia to New England. While that did happen.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown did go to the Patriots. That goes to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the back burner. A. It's been talked about for five
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: months at least, and B it got upstaged. It absolutely
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: got up stations that most of the time these dates
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: failed to deliver. You'd all excited and you get a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: tie and some socks and you're like, well, I didn't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: really want to tie and socks. I don't mind them,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I just don't really want them. I'm excited about that. However,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this is one of those days that did not disappoint.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We have so much to discuss in this four hours
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of conversations. Blank canvas, we're gonna paint a mosaic, well
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: possibly a finger painting that we have decided. I've made
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the executive decision. We were planning on doing the NFL
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: book them. Now, the NFL book them's a thing that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we do when there's not that there's nothing going on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a little slow. This is not a day for the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: NFL book them, So we're gonna push it back twenty
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: four hours. We've made the executive decision. The powers vested
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in me in the Mallad militia, So the NFL book
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: them will be tomorrow unless there's eighteen trades tomorrow, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: then we'll push it back again. As far as we know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it's going to be tomorrow. So we're gonna start out
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Everyone talking about it, and I feel
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: bad for my friends in Seattle. They had their little
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: championship where they got a bogus two point conversion. It's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all over. It's all over. Just why even bother playing
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL season. We know how this is going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: play out. So if you didn't get the news, we
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: learned that the La Rims has said bye bye to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse, the star young defensive player, and a gaggle
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of draft picks, and they have packaged that in a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: nice box and sent that off to the Browns. In
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: exchange four, the NFL's defensive player of the year, Miles Garrett,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is in La Ram. How do you like that, suckers?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Cleveland picked up a first round pick we in twenty
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: twenty seven? Who cares? And some other draft picks Day
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: two picks. Nobody cares about those? Losers care about those?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Are you a loser? You're not a loser, right command,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: All right, So let us discuss the question. You make
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the call. How do you grate the Rams acquiring the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: preeminent defensive player in the National Football League Miles Garrett
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: from the Brownies for a gaggle of picks and Jared Verse?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this? I've got Amazon reviews teenage mutant,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles and midway games, and we will combine all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of these things together. And we were going to say
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Cowabunga dude. Yeah all right, so a uh, we immediately
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: go right to the Malor report card. We don't waste
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: any time. There's no need to waste time. The Malor
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: report card and what does it say. Well, this is
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: where if you're new to the show, this is where
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we sift through transactions, the sporting landscape, the ethos of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sports and tell you what's real and what's bogus, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what's fake and all that for gayzy, downright fraudulent. That's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what we do here. So on the Mallor report card. Now,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fair you by the oh, you just
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be a Ram Homer. You're gonna suck up to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the Rams. That's what you do. No, you shut your mouth,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm not some fanboy with a microphone. No, no, no,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So the mal report card reads the La Rams get
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in a plus plus plus. Yeah, come on, you get
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Rabbit in the super Bowl. They're back by me the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: rip not that they left the Rams back now the Browns,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be fair to the Browns too. I'm
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna bash the Browns. It's easy to get on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the radio and goof on the Cleveland Browns. And I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: now have a lot of friends in Ohio. I know
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's southern Ohio, northern Kentucky. I had a great time
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, which is not Cleveland, northern Kentucky. That only,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but I'd met a lot of Brownsers. There were people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that drove down from Cleveland to hang out with me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: We got Dick and Dayton. I'm worried about the Dickster.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: He might have a heart attack when he finds out
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he mightn't even know yet. The Browns traded Miles Garrett.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So on the male report card. To be totally fair
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to my friends in Ohio, the Cleveland Browns get an
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: F on the Mallet report card, so congratulations to the Browns.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They failed. And the fact that the Rams picked up
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett in his prime, in the middle of his
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: athletic prime. He got two or three really good years
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: left coming off the historic Granted it was some stats
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: stuffing on a bad team with the Browns, but still
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: twenty three sax season. You gotta be joking all right now,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: if you read the Amazon reviews on this trade. This
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is a testimonial. It validates that the La Rams have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the top front office in football and they have been
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: able over the years to manipulate the cap, which is ridiculous.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: The salary kept a joke. These trades that keep popping
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: up and the draft. They do all of that really well,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and your team doesn't. Your team sucks at most of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And so Cleveland traded the best defensive player
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: alive who's playing in pro football for a good player.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to kill the player they got and some
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Bengo cards. F them becks. F them becks. That's what
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we all say here. And I would trade every fricking draftic.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I don't care. You're all a bunch of Dingleberris that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: love you little NFL draft. You love it. Give me
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a proven commodity. And Jared Vers is a oneonerful player.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I love the kid. And it does not justify though,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: moving the face of the franchise. And if you're the Rams,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you make this trade out of ten days, you make
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it twenty days, twenty times in ten days. Ye, that's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: what you do here. Now. I do feel bad for
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse because he is now going to football purgatory
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and the greatness that he would have gotten as a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: ram and he had a little taste of it, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that all goes away. Now he's walking into an impossible
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: situation verse where yeah, he'll put some stats up. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: don't doubt that he's gonna get some stats because the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Browns suck and they're gonna suck the rest of my
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: life because they've sucked my entire life. And he'll put
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: up some numbers and say, oh man, he's playing well
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: for the Browns, and you know what of the Brown's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: gonna do win five games, six games every year. They
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: got no quarterback, they got no hope. They suck all right,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep the beat going here though, page two.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam issued a wordy statement, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the key part, let's just cut through the bull crap.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: The key part is Jimmy Haslm, the Brown's owner, said
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: trading Miles Garrett wasn't our intent bad. You know what
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that means, he said, but this is the right move
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: for us. Close quote. That's Jimmy Haslm, the owner, the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: con man. Some have said, who owns the Cleveland Browns.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: So the question what did owner Jimmy Haslem mean when
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he said the Miles Garrett trade to the Rams was
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the right move for us. So let's start with the obvious.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I think you know this. It is the classic owner
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: spin from a guy who functions as the head of manufacturing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam is not just the owner of the Brownies,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He's the head of manufacturing at the Factory of Sadness,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: which has been the most consistent producer of bad football
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that we have seen. And Haslam is straight up gas
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: lighting the good people of Ohio, the fan base there
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with what he's doing. He dropped the word bad. He
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: said that, just like that, right after claiming it wasn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: their intent to trade Miles Garrett, which is always a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: dead give dead nee. Yeah, now that's what that is.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So you drop the word but and that is a tell.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And we have parsed the words of many better owners
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: than Jimmy Haslam, and not few that are worse than
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam. But here we are. And so you see
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: all that, and you're like, Okay, it's more likely than
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: not that Jimmy has On the Browns owner is just
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: pretending that this disaster was highly strategic. Now I am
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: going to workshop a conspiracy theory, and I want you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to tell me if you agree with this or not
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the truth and I'm gonna go deep state Illuminati here.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So the trade of Miles Garrett happened because of Miles Garrett.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett went full teenage mutant ninja turtles, heavy on
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the ninja part for the Browns, and he forced his
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: way out of Cleveland without ever saying it publicly this
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: time now before he made the mistake of going public,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and the Browns paid him a lot of money. And
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: now here we are a couple years later and he's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: been sent to the portal, the transfer portal going out
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to LA. So yeah, I believe this was done behind
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the scenes. I buddy of mine who ran into Miles
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Garrett's was at some Laker games hanging out with the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Hollywood f's, and I guess he liked that. And he
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of speeding tickets in Cleveland at night.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: If you don't drive eighty five to ninety miles an hour,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you get hit. It's like the Autobahn in LA at night.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So he'll love driving in LA. And it was speeding
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and all that. That's how that goes. Meanwhile, the Browns
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: continue to operate like a ghost ship. All right, every
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: once in a while they managed to draft a truly
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: generational player. That's it's the acorn, you know, the whole
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: blind squirrel in the acorn. So every once in a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: while they're draft a generational talent, they being the Cleveland Browns,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and everyone get all excited, all man, and then they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: completely waste them, completely waste them, and then repackage them
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for more picks. This is known as the wash rinse
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: repeat cycle of Cleveland brown football. And the shocking thing
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is a percentage of customers are not smarter enough to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: realize they're being bamboozled. This is called duggery, and they
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: continue down this road because the Browns are selling. Wow,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we've got three picks that are going to be great. Okay,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you have no coach, you have no quarterback, and you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: get on the list. It's insane and it's just another
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: chapter in the never ending Bozo the clown show that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is the brand. This just changed their name to the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Bosos. I wonder what their logo ID. I think
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we know, get a red fluffy nose and some big
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: shoes and then you're on your way. And the Browns
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: fans you can't trust a single thing. Jimmy Haslem spews
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: out of his mouth. You can't do it. And none
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of these right moves which Jimmy has them talks about,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this was the right move, he boasts about these, none
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of these actually work out. It's like, what are we doing?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's not football strategy, it is not It's just the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: chaos business model which the Browns have mastered. Now the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: last word here we mentioned you can ram it all
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: day and you can ram it all night. So here
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we go. By trading for Miles Garrett, are the forty
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: nine ers now off the or the forty nine? Are
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the Rams forty nine ers? Or that coming? Are the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Rams all right? Are the Rams now off the hook
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: by that draft pick in the first round when they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: took Ty Simpson in the first round? So again, by
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: trading for Miles Garrett, are the Rams now off the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Natty list? When they wasted a first round pick on
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Ty Simpson? So some of you reached out to me,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: C C. Mallor you should have waited. Of course, the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: obvious answer to that is I have a daily talk
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: show to do, so I have to do a talk
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: show every night. I can't wait till stories are done.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: The other factor here is absolutely not absolutely not no, no,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: no no. You don't draft a guy there if you're
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: all in now, it makes even less sense. Now, it
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: makes even less sense for the Rams draft a quarterback
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in the first round. They're clearly moved all of their
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: chips to the middle of the table. They're all in
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the La Rams. They're going for another Super Bowl and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you don't trade that amount of it. And then you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: drafted a guy who's if everything goes right, It just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: makes no sense, no sense. The Rams are living in
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: two different universes right now. They're chasing another ring with
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and they're at the same time raising a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: toddler quarterback who hopefully won't have a hissy fit on
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the sidelines. And the Rams it's like, listen, I'm gonna
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna microwave and slow cook at the same meal. Well, no,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you either slow cook it or your microwave it. You
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: don't do both, dummy. So I do not think that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: this absolves the Rams for drafting Ty Simpson at all.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You picked a rookie who's not going to help you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: while you're desperately trying to win another Super Bowl. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: instead of getting whether it was a top rated And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: again I'm not a big draft guy by any means,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: but if you have the pick and you don't trade
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to pick, get me somebody who's supposed to be a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: good wide receiver, get me an impact linebacker or defensive back.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You'll make one of those moves. And instead they instead
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of getting one of those players, the Rams, they have
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna hold the clipboard and get ten thousand
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: steps walking back and forth between the twenty yard lines
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines there. And as for the trolls claiming
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that La is reckless, I've also gotten this in my
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: inbox that the Rams are being reckless here trading away
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse, who hasn't even scratched the surface on his ability,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and then all those draft picks for Miles Garrett. This
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: is just reckless. And to that I use the word humbuggery,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: because that is anyoney thinks that it's humbuggery, is what
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it is. This is for the Rams, the Goldielocks. Whether
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it works out or not, that's to be determined. You
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: went for it, and that's all you can ask, right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You just want your teams to go for it. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: they went for it. And that's the great thing. They
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: have the top coaching football nobody better than Sean McVay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: They have the top quarterback in the NFL, the reigning
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: MVP Matthew Stafford, and everyone outside of like two teams
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: would trade for Matthew Stafford right now, top wide receiver
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Pooka Nakua, And now they have the top defensive torpedo
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in Miles Garrett. And they're all wearing the same uniform,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the same laundry. There the la Rams, and Miles Garrett
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: is going to go full midway games, think Ram page.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: He's going to go on a RAM pitch. I feel
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bad for my friends who are forty nine er fans
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and Seahawk fans, not Cardinal fans, because they don't they're
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not trying to win their tanking. So I don't know
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: if feel bad for the Cardinal fans. I don't Aaron
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Donald two point zero. In fact, there's rumors bouncing around
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the echo chamber that the Rams are trying to coax
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald out of retirement. And might I add, well,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: happy days continue for the La Rams Super Bowl sixty one.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You know it's going to be played in the hood
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood. That's right, it's in La La Land. Super
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Bowl sixty one in February's on I believe Valentine's Day.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I think Valentine's Day. It's mid February twenty twenty seven,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and that will be at Sofi Stadium in the hood
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood. Last time they had a Super Bowl at
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. Let's see what team won that. Oh, that's right,
• 17:32

  Speaker 1: Tube this hour, We're gonna go to the boob Tube.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has picked up a new plumb gig. Now,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: we've spent a lot of time over the years talking
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: about Russ. He's very awkward, very very awkward. And it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: good for talk radio. Good for talk radio. Not not
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a great quarterback, not even a good quarterback, Russell Wilson.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I believe he's never gotten an MVP boat, not even one,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: not even like a fourth place in VP vote, none
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of that. Hey, you didn't hear the news where he's headed.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And perhaps not. We learned that Russell Wilson is finalizing
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a contractual agreement to join the New York studios of CYBS. Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: he's going to become an NFL analyst. Wow, just what
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the world needs more jockocracy. He will join Sibbys's pregame show,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: alongside the venerable James Brown, Nate Burlson, the Wokester, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Bill Cower, who somehow kept his job I believe. So
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: those are the guys on the and I think now
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: they've they've rotated some other people in there, but Matt
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Ryan is the chair that he will sit in. He
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: being Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan who was given the job
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to fix the Atlanta Falcons. He's the head of Football
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Ops or whatever they're calling whatever Fu Gaysey title they
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: gave Matty Ice, So he's running the Falcons in. Russell
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Wilson is now with CBS. Now. It's interesting to note
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson received an offer from the Jets to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: serve as a backup quarterback for Geno Smith, which means
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you would eventually be the starting quarterback. Because Gino Smith
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: sucks and he's been terribly He's the worst quarterback in football.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Last year, led the Raiders to the top pick of
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the draft, and whether he gets hurt or bench, there's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: no way that Geno Smith makes it through the entire season.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And yet Russ decided rather than take that job. He said, no,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I am going to do broadcasting because everyone wants to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: be a broadcaster. So that is a good jumping up point.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question why why would Russell Wilson
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: pick CBS over playing for the Jets in the NFL. Now,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: normally these guys take broadcasting jobs when they can't find
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: work anywhere. They're like, okay, I'll become a broadcaster, which
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: is no one's offering me a contract. Now Russ had
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: an offer and rejected it. He punted on the offer.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got buster, Linguini and CrossFit, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket. Just
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: like blind Scott likes at the biscuit in the basket.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I saw number one, number one, number one, number one end,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: lots of fun. Number one enough, all right, So some
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of these things are complicated. This is simple, easy peasy.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: He's mister unlimited and in the sense that he's unlimited
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: in career pivots. You look it. Since he left Seattle,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he has been bouncing around the pinball machine from the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Broncos and then the Pittsburgh and the giants, and he's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: been all over the place, all over the place. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is, though, the perfect job for Russ. The jockocracy
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of broadcasting TV executives love, they just bet their knee
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: pads on. They do the hawk tour for these ex jocks.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And so it's perfect for Russ because he slides in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: there and he don't worry about anybody rushing him. He
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't have worry about statistics or anything like that. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: maybe gotta give him that hawk dude, and.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Spent on that night.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So CBS is a playground. The Jets, on the other hand,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: would be camping out on Rikers Island, if you know
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And so besides this, you look at
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Russ and he has been practicing. He has been rehearsing
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: for a job in television his entire playing career. Every
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: news conference was an audition tape to be the standard
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: sports cliche dopey TV guy. Like he's really practiced this
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: for a long time. He has been giving those dull
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: corporate speak answers, going back to the Seahawks back in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the day. So CBS is basically his natural habitat right,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Like this is perfect for him, It's right in his
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: natural habitat and his middle name. Russell Wilson's middle name
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: should be Buster, as in Phil a Buster, because that's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: what he provides. And he has given so many quotes
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that have filled talk radio real estate here cringeworthy that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: now he's going to monetize those ridiculous things that he said.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The guy mastered the art of saying nothing, and now
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: he's finally going to get paid just for that, just
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to get on there and spew nonsense. And it's like
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that Pink Floyd mantra. Your lips are moving, but I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: can't hear what you're saying because there's nothing meaningful coming
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: out of your mouth. And that's half the job in
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: studio television, it is. And make no mistake, Russ is
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: not retiring. This is not a retirement. He's repositioning his brand,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: as the kids like to say, he's moving his brand.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson will be on every team's emergency quarterback list.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: God forbid, Josh Allen or go down Mahomes on the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: big board, Josh Allen, Mahomes, Joe Burrow. He gets hurt
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: every year. Lamar Jackson's very fragile at this point. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: who are you gonna call mister unlimited. That's what you're
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: gonna call right there. So, okay, he's not retiring Russ.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: In fact, this is better for him to cherry pick
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity and he's gonna be on every team's
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: emergency quarterback list like Philip Rivers has been. And Rivers
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: finally accepted the call, went to the Colts last year.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And someone always gets hurt, somewhat of note always gets hurt,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and so you got to give him a call. He's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like in the NFL's traveling fire extinguisher, is what he is,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: all right now. Page two to the Giants side of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the equation. Very busy on the transaction wire for the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: New York Giants. We learned that the g Men have
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: officially signed Odell Beckham junior. YEP, that Odell Beckham Junior
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: along with Juju Smith, Schuster and Braxton Barrios. He's still playing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Those guys are all going to the Giants in theory
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to bolster the wide receiver room for the Giants, said
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the man, snickering. Well, he said that so O g
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Obj rather Obj has been a headliner and has been
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the key part of that has been a headliner. Beckham
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: was drafted by the Giants with much fanfare way back
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in the twenty fourteen draft. I was just a little
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: kid back then. In twenty fourteen, he was a twelfth
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: overall pick. He had a great catch in a game
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the Giants lost on Sunday Night football. Al Michaels played
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: it up with collins Worth. It became the thing of legends,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that they lost the game. Nobody brings that
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: up and all of that. So this marks a full
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: circle moment for OBJ. He had a very explosive early
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: career on a Hall of Fame projectory at the beginning
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of his career, and then was traded to the Browns
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, used his dad to get out of Cleveland,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and then went to the Rams, won a Super Bowl,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: got hurt, and has been gonzo from relevancy ever since then,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: unless you happen to be on a flight from Miami
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to LA and then you have a delay because he's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a schmuck. So there is that, all right, now question
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: how much gas? How much gas does Odell Beckham Junior
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: have left in the tank for the Giants? All right?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So he's thirty three years old, which is not old,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that's young. Right in sports, you're just at the end
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of your athletic prime at age thirty three. He's not
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a deep threat. He is a deep memory at this point.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham junior, and he's living off the highlight reel
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that Sunday Night catch and a few others. And that's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: his pension. That's the big pension right there. And obj
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: is it's like an Instagram model looks great on your phone,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: like really hot, and then you take the filters off
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and it's a much different story what you're dealing with,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: much different story here under six hundred yards per year
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty, the pandemic, he's had a ped suspension,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: there's injuries here, there and everywhere, hasn't played a lot.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He's like a number four wide receiver. Now he's not
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. This is a wide receiver.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? What the hell? And he's not washed.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: He has been gently marinated at this point. So the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Giants are collecting receivers right now. Boy, they signed a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: bunch of slop out there. Receiver didn't these names? My god,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: it's like mismatched tupperware that doesn't really fit that piece.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Why did we get that? I don't understand. None of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the lids fit. We're screwed. Oh my god. So they're
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: throwing at this point. I know what John Harbaugh is doing,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and my friends Sports with Coleman would confirm this. John
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh is throwing Linguini against the wall, hoping. He's just
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: throwing the Linguini against the wall, hoping that by panic
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: buying OBJ and Juju, Smith, Schuster and Braxton Barrios, praying
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that something al Dente shows up right. Ultimately, though, Odell
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Beckham has just enough gas. I looked at the tank,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: just enough gas for OBJ to sell hope by the gallon. Okay,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: by the gallon. Not enough to be a difference maker
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: for the Giants. So forget about that. That's not gonna happen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: In the nostalgia. Really big, really really big his prime,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: he was a thirteen hundred yard receiver. He'll now give
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you three hundred yards and a marketing bumpety bump. That
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: is what Odell Beckham will give you at this point,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and that's what the Giants got. I don't even know
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I was gonna make the team, all right.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: The conspiracy theory on the giant story is well, wait
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a minute, they have Moleik neighbors. He must be really up.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But he did lose at least one receiver during OTA's
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Gunner Oshewski Snap crackle pop, So he's out for the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: next NFLCS. So they have Are you telling me three
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: people were needed to replace Gunner Oshsky? Seriously? Is that
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: what we're doing here anyway? All right? Final point to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the business of sports intertwined with political hacks. Say why yeah?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So we have learned now the NFL Commissioner, Roger the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Dodger Goodell, is going to have to leave his house
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in the Hamptons or his vacation home in Maine. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: he has been invited to Congress. Yes, Roger Goodell has
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: been invited to Congress to testify before the House Judiciary
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Committee on June tenth. So, as we're doing this in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: real time eight days from now about the league's broadcast
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and streaming deals, Congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio, the chairman
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee, sending a a letter to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell. I want to just email them or text him.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: These guys all have the numbers, anyway, he said a
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: letter to Roger Goodell inviting him. I'm pretty sure that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you don't turn down the congressional invitation. The hearing will
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: examine whether or not the NFL's media rights agreements harm
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: consumers and if the nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: needs updating. What whoa all right? So question? Why why
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: is Roger Goodell being dragged? What's the real reason why
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: he's being dragged to Capitol Hill to speak about the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: TV deals in the NFL. So Roger Gill, first of all,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: he's the theories, he's testifying, He's not really testifying. He's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: being seated at the Congressional Dinner theater. Now the performance.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I looked at the calendar app on my phone, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that day in DC, which is pretty much every they
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: have the same show. It's called Kabuki Theater. So Goodell
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: will be part of Kabuki theater where the politicians pretend
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to be outraged for regular Americans and the NFL pretends
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to be just this humble mom and pop shop. That's
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: all it is. And it's Roger Goodell's annual one man show.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: That's right, kids. Roger Goodell gets up there on the stage,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: He's got surrounded by NFL big shots, and he says,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I swear I care about the fan. We're the most
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: fan friendly league. And then he gives you all kinds
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of bull crap numbers and all that stuff. And that's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: how that's gonna go. And Capitol Hill, the congress people love,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: they love on Capitol Hill. These type of events, these hearings,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: when they bring in sports figures are just solid gold.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Now why is that. It's because they get to look tough,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: fake tough guy without actually doing anything, which is perfect
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: if you're a political hack. You gotta look tough, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you don't actually do anything. It's CrossFit for politicians. That's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: what it is. It's CrossFit for politicians. A lot of motion,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: you're not really going anywhere, and no real results. That's
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the reality of the situation. Now, politicians will get their
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: sound bites, which is I guess still somewhat important. So
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you get little sound bites there, and the NFL will
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: get some negative headlines for a couple of days. And
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: when it's all set and don of course, more is
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: said than done. And you and I the consumer, if
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you are a law abiding citizen, you will get another
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: subscription that that will be the result and ultimately the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: NFL is still cashing checks, which is wild to me
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: from this and baseball as well. In basketball, this nineteen
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: sixty one law, it's like a forgotten savings bond that
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: grandma left behind in the attic and you found it,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: You're like, whoa fake grandma? That's cool. And the law
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: was written back in the Bronze Age when there were one, two,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: three TV channels believe it or not for my time,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of course, I'm not that old. But supposedly back in
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: those days there were just three TV channels, and people
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: use these things called rabbit ears. Yeah, there's the antentnacled
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: rabbit ears. And now you need six apps, a VPN,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: two passwords, and a couple of Russian streams and a
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: seance to find some of these games. And so that's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: that's the issue here. The NFL's media deal is worth
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think I read it was like one hundred and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: ten billion. One hundred and ten billion in media rights.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And that's that's not a TV contract. That is a
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: sovereign wealth fund. It might as well be the Saudi
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: oil fund. It's the NFL's slush fund, is what it is.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And the law which we've talked about here. This is
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what's going to be talked about on Capitol Hill. Thenineteen
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act, whether it needs to be
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: updated or not, what has happened is there has been
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a sea change and you are the product. You are
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the product in many of these instances. But the ultimate
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: things like that Tom Preddy Tom Petty song back in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the in the old days, the Last DJ, which is
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: a great song if you're a radio nerd. It's a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: wonderful song, right, just a great song, Last DJ. And
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: there's a line in there which is so appropriate for
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: today's world that the line is how much will you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: pay for what you used to get for free? Well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I'd like to enter the chat now, Netflix and Amazon
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and all these different channels and all that stuff. And
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: so it's the unofficial anthem, the greed anthem, the national
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: anthem of greed, and okay, we'll get these suckers to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: buy all these streaming services. And it started out like everything,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: It starts out fine, and then you can keep adding
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of dollars here and a couple of dollars there,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: and then the next thing, you know, here we are,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and so what's gonna happen. Give it a couple of
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: weeks after this hearing, Give it a couple weeks. Normally,
• 35:07
