• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for the full red Eye flight. But our lead this
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: hour is from an ongoing saga the year twenty twenty five.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We have spent more time talking about this particular washed
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: up player than anyone else in the NFL.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I think you know where we're going with this.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That would be the mouth of Aaron Rogers. Now he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: has spoken, he has blessed us with a paid appearance.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Rogers getting paid a lot of money to play grab
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ass with his buddies, and good for him. He spoke
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for the first time since being fired by the Jets
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: last month, and he was on for about forty five minutes.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, he must have gotten paid a lot for that. Right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It was a million.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Dollars plus you get extra if you go forty five
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: minutes or more. Anyway, he was on with that YouTuber
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. I don't know if you hurt any of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this or not. Perhaps not. But Aaron Rodgers, let me
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: give you the highlights here he has announced. Have you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: heard the news? No, Aaron Rodgers announced that he is
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: taking his talents to the land of the undecided. That's right.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers decided he doesn't have a decision. He is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: an undecided voter at this point. He can't make his
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: mind up. Oh so sad. He doesn't know what will
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he do. He didn't rule out the possibility of retiring.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Now a lot of unpack the money quote. The money
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: quote from Aaron Rodgers was, I'll set it all straight
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: from the jump. He said, I'm in a different phase
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in my life. I'm forty one years old. I'm in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a serious relationship. I have personal commitments that I've made,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and people in my inner circle are battling difficult stuff
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to make.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: A commitment to a team is a big thing. Close quote.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: All right, So let us discuss the question.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: How did Aaron Rodgers comments on the NFL and his
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: future sound to you. So I've got Batman and care Bear,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: we are gonna throw some fries on top of your sandwich.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And that's a Pittsburgh sandwich.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: They just put the fries on top, and it's a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh samwich. So a Aaron Rodgers clearly suffering from brain fog,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a right brain fog. Like I know, in the history
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, there's never been a quarterback who's been
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: forty one who's played. And there's a rule, actually, if
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you're in a serious relationship in the NFL, you cannot play.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You have to retire because you God forbid you, multitesk.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You can't be in a relationship and.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Play in the end. Are you kidding me?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Playing the NFL and be in a relationship, Have you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: lost your bloody mind? Oh my god? And personal commitments,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: come on now, what are you talking about. You can't
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: have any other personal commitments. You're playing in the NFL
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and people battling difficult stuff. Well that's a that's over.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's all over at that particular point. Why is this
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: always a Shakespearean drama? Well, somebody else can answer that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But the vibe by God from Aaron Rodgers was the classic.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: When when I was watching some of the clips that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: were going by of Rogers, I got the vibe. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: thought I was watching a concert from It'sack Pearlman and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he was playing the world's smallest violin. Here, it's it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hard to really wrap your hands around the nonsense here,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Like it's either you want to play, or you don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: want to play, or you're waiting for some kind of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: cosmic event. So you're old, okay, congratulations. Yeah, you're in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a relationship. Whoop damn new somebody in your circles battling stuff.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You have personal commitments. Okay, that's life. That's what life is.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's what happens. You get older, people get sick, you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get older, you get in relationships.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: It's the circle of life.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And as the great Lou Holtz famously said, he said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: remember if you have problems, if you have paraphrasms, but
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you have problems in your life. Okay, Now, the old
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame coach said, it's your problem, all right, it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not anyone else's problem. Is your problem. You solve your problem.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You don't blame other people. You don't burden people with
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: your complaints because ninety percent of people you come across
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: don't care about your issues your problems, and the other
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: ten percent are glad that you have. And now I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: would argue that the percentages are more than that now
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that it's more like I would say maybe forty percent
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of people they don't care about your troubles, but I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: would say about sixty percent are glad that Aaron Rodgers
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: has problems. Now, if you're thinking about retirement, it has
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: long been the belief that you're already retired. If you're thinking, boy,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: how great would it be just to lay in a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: hammock and drink ayahuasca and smoke cigars and just have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a good time, Then there you go, all right now
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: flipping the page, but not too far away. So Aaron
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Rodgers addressed the popular opinion of many that he craves,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he has an addiction to the spotlight, that he is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: your classic attention.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Whore, that he needs the spotlight on him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Now, Rogers says that he went to Pittsburgh and tried
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to do that as quietly as possible.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: He said, very quiet, like a cloak and dagger.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Mission to Pittsburgh and Rogers said, you know a lot
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of people think I'm desperate for attention, even though I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: haven't talked to you or anybody else in three months,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Rogers claim. So Aaron says he attempted to hornswaggle the media.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That's my word, hornswaggle, not his. But he attempted to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: fool the media by flying into a different airport and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: driving a Chevy Malibu.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: To these Steelers for silly.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I can you can only imagine the hardship of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: having to drive a Chevy mautain. Well, let's get that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: guy a purple heart. He had to drive a Chevy
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Malibu rental car, Oh my god, just to avoid being photographed.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: We always know the paparazzo is very big in Pittsburgh.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: The Inzer paparazzi is tremendous. So what is the word?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: What is the word for Aaron Rodgers being perplexed by
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the many accusations out there that he is desperate for attention?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: So my word is pushcart?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That is my word, as in a pushcart of passive,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: aggressive goodies.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: It is on brand Aaron Rodgers.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He is the maestro when it comes to this kind
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of activity. Rodgers is like a batman super villain, the Riddler.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: That is his essence. He is the Riddler.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He likes to drop vague, cryptic remarks, give backhanded jabs
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: during his media available knowing that it is going to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: stir the pot. And I am convinced that Rogers loves
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to watch the reaction. He loves to watch the cockroaches
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: run across the floor. Can't get enough of it. Aaron
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: really is the Riddler. He is the mastermind. He incorporates
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the many puzzles and riddles and throws them out there
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: into his schemes and leaving them as clues to the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: football media and the fans to solve, saying calculate, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: still poking the bear poke poke, poke poke, just like
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that now, Aaron Rodgers, tell him if I'm wrong on this?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Does he not relish? Does he not relish? Keeping everyone guessing?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And then of course when you call him on it,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he gets very prickly when you dare push back?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Who are you to push back? Boo hoo hoo.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You see it when he's playing grab ass, you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and they're just you know, smooching each other on the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: McAfee show, and and how he handles pretty much everything.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It's the same playbook, day after day after day. All right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: now the.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Last word here. So Aaron Rodgers was upset with how
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: his time ended with the Jets. This was also part
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of this long manifesto rant, this paid appearance paid to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: play Rogers on the YouTuber show. So Rogers said he
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: didn't feel respected enough when meeting with Aaron Glenn. Aaron
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Glenn is the coach of the Jets. You don't need
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to know his name because that's a temporary job. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: when you're coaching the Jets, you're not there more than
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: just a blink in the eye, just to blink in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the eye. But Aaron Glenn's there, and Rogers was not pleased.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I felt there wasn't an ample amount
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of respect in the in that meeting. Rogers said, riespect okay,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So he was upset by the lack of respect. Rogers
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: went on, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised based
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: on some things I saw over two years. So that's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that is a full body blow on the Jets franchise.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Body blow, body blow, body blow.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's get down to the meat and potatoes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Here does Aaron Rodgers have a legitimate griight with the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jets cross country pink slip that he flew to meet
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: with the Jets, and he made sure to point out
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he paid his own ticket and he went to meet
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: with the Jets. So does Rogers have a legitimate grid
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with the Jets? Cross country pink slip. So I say
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: this is actually warranted, like this part of it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I'll be fair here.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm on the side of Rogers on that as someone
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that has lost you for the show. I've lost my
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: share of radio jobs over my career, And from the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: way Rogers is positioning this, he's He's like, well, listen,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he thought that he could work something out with the Jets.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: The jets new regime, led by the new coach Aaron
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Glenn there I had publicly stated the public opinion they
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: had given the impression that they were open to keeping
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: They had tossed that possibility out.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: So if you were done with him, if you didn't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: want Rogers, then why would you allow him to fly
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: there and meet with you if you had no intention
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: of allowing him the opportunity to sway you and continue
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on with his jest. Now, why Rogers would want to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: play for the Jets anymore is beyond me. But clearly
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he had some intention, some intention. And the other part
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of this is when you think about Rogers and going
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to meet with the Jets and what that must have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: been like, and as far as the like, the argument
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: for the Jets is, well, they're doing the right thing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: They told him to his face. I say folly. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: say folly to that.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: As someone again in the radio business that has been
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: whacked from many a job, many different ways, I think
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's just nonsense. Rogers claimed that he had roughly a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: twenty second meeting before Aaron Glenn said, we're going a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: different direction. But this is really a teachable moment. It's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a teachable moment, and in the future, my advice is
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to follow the wisdom of the care bear. My former
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: colleague here at Fox Sports Radio, the great Karen k
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: KK who's now not in the business anymore, but KK
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Karen k back in the day when we were doing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a show together and we knew because of a story
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in the New York Post that we were getting whacked
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the next day, like we knew we were on the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: air and we knew we're getting whacked.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I mean We're done. That's it. Guillotine time. We're cooked,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: we're out, We're done.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And we got a memo that we had a mandatory
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: meeting the following day in the afternoon, which meant driving
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in rush hour Los Angeles traffic. And I'll never forget
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: talking to KK the last night that I think that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: might be the last night I saw her, and she
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: she's she says, I'm not going in.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I said, well you can't. You got to a meeting.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: You got to show up.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, they're going to fire us. Why
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: would Why would I show up to the meet. She
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: had a great point. I showed up like an idiot,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you know. I walked right in there, and man, they
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: gassed me. But I walked right in and she didn't.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: She's like, hey, listen, I'm not wasting the gas over
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: my time.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: And that's it. She refused to drive in for the slaughter.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers, you know, he should have been smarter
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: enough to understand the Jets didn't want him back.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: That's number one.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Number two, the Jets should have if they didn't let
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: him know, they should have advised him, and that meeting
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: should never have happened.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Just do it on the phone, or now you get
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the zoom, you can do it on the zoom. So
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: way to go.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the mouth of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the nb A pro bouncy Ball. Now, there was no
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: play in basketball on Thursday, nothing to break down. The
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: arenas were dark, no lights were on anywhere, and then
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we will resume activity later on.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Today there's double barrel action playing style.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the commissioner filled the void, filled the void on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this stuff. You didn't didn't hear what he had to say,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: or maybe you missed this. The commissioner of the NBA
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: from another part of the galaxy, I think might be
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: even way beyond the Milky Way way out there, Adam Silver.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So Adam Silver decided to address the HeLa monster.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: In the room.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: He said, nothing else going on, I'm gonna talk about
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the HeLa monster the room. So that's exactly what he did.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He said he did not have any role in the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Luca trade. And there are many conspiracy there is that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: either the Mavericks owner is trying to move the team
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to Vegas and they want to undermine the fan base.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Or Adam Silver conspired with TV people who were shocked
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: at how pathetic the product was and how bad the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: ratings were, and said we got to spice this up,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: crank this up a couple of notches, and make sure
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this happened. So Adam Silver's like, hey, listen, I didn't
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have any role in it, he said. Quote the commissioner
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: does not have the right to block a trade, he said,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: telling YouTuber Pat McAfee this. Now, Silver has stated in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: this interview and at other times that he does not
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: does not have the authority to veto or to block
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a trade between teams. He claims that the bylaws, the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: league rules of the NBA do not grant the commissioners
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: such powers.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: To intervene in a trade, even.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: If they are controversial, unless unless they violate the CBA
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: or some other special regulation. So let us discuss the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: question for the esteem panel, which you are part of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the question, how do you categorize Adam Silver the commissioner,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: making mcclaim that he was essentially helpless to do anything
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to stop the Luka Doncik trade.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So my observations on this.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I've got Silver, Bullet, Cult Classic and Motley Crue, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: are going.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: To bock bock like a chicken. We're gonna bok bok
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I a chicken, all.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Right, So.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Numb ber, can I get a number? So I saw
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the clip.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: It's making its way around the clip artist, the engagement
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: artist on social media.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: So the way I interpreted it's like fine art.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: The way I interpreted this clip from Adam Silver is
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I wanted to go to my garage and I wanted
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: to get a shovel, and I then wanted to fill
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the shovel with manure, and then I would have recreated
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: what I was hearing from Adam Silver.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It's just not true. It's just not true.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: In my humble opinion, if you do your due diligence,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver doing a Pinocchio impersonation on this one, he
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: absolutely could have hit the kill button on the trade. Now,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: what is my supporting evidence? My supporting evidence, Let's go
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: way back. Donald Sterling, a notorious figure in the NBA.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Donald Sterling. Over ten years ago. Donald Sterling was taken
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: down by Adam Silver. The NBA took the Clippers away
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: from Donald Sterley. And how did the Commissioner, Adam Silver
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Do you remember it? Because I remember he used.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: What is the NBA Commissioner's silver bullet aka Article twenty four?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Article?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Google it?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Article twenty four? Now Article twenty four of the NBA Constitution.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It is known in the colloquial sense as the best
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: interest of the association clause.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: And what does that mean? It grants the commissioner.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Bad authority to act when a situation arises that is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: not covered by the league's constitution and bylaw.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: So you say, well, this is covered by the rules
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: of the NBA and the bylaw.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So you're wrong, Ben, You don't know what you're talking about. Okay, dummy,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Read the fine print. Read the fine print because Article
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: twenty four could have been applied since the trade, if
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you look at the language here, harmed the integrity of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the NBA and hurt public confidence in the NBA. Does anyone,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: does anyone anywhere think this trade did not hurt the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: integrity of basketball? And it was such a terrible trade,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: public confidence in the product is gone. It was such
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous, atrocious lopsided transaction. The league has lost credibility,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and a real commissioner with balls, a real commissioner would
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: have done something about it, and Adam Silver clearly lost
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: his balls somewhere along the way.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can go buy some basketballs.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: He didn't do that, and that is the kind of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: thing that feeds the conspiracy theory that oh, I couldn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: do it, that he was complicit, that he didn't stop it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're in a situation where everyone agrees
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that something is completely ridiculous and broken, you might want
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to do a double check on that because it might
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: be you know, if you're in something where it's just
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so over the top. Now, Adam Silver additionally, he admitted
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that Luka Danci trade drove up NBA ratings this season, right,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: which also kind of feeds into that narrative that the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: NBA powerbrokers behind the scenes were encouraging this to happen
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and he didn't stop it. Why didn't he stop it?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: He could have stopped it Article twenty four. If the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: commissioner didn't stop it, could it be because he was
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: encouraging it to happen behind the scenes like the puppet
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: master Now patt It. As for the relocation chatter, the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: commissioner Adam Silver explained, he said the Mavericks quote aren't
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, is what he said.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Aren't going anywhere. Those are his words, not mine, his words.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Because they are trying to build a new arena in
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Dallas and there were quote no ulterior motives, no ulterior
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: motives behind the transaction to give away the family jewels
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or a broken down basketball player, and that's it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: So thumbs up or thumbs down.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up, thumbs down on the mavreck fans being able
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to trust Adam Silver when he says that the Mavericks
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: So this is a rather easy thumbs down. Thumbs down
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: on this side. Thumbs down.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Here's why. Think of the cult classic. Brad Pitt was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in it. Cult classic from Hollywood back when they used
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to make decent movies. Welcome to fight Club. The first rule,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you know what it is, the first rule of fight club.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You do not talk about fight club.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: You don't do it. You don't do it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: The second rule of fight club is you don't talk
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: about fight club. Historically, my entire life, there have been
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: teams that have moved all over since I was a
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: little bully watching sports, and the one constant historically has
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: been the commission of the Sports League. They always put
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on their tap dance shoes. They sidestep confirmation, They claim
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: that there is no funny business going on. They don't
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: do any of that until the deal. Until the deal's done,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: they don't talk about it until it's all finalized. I'll
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: give you an example, Roger Goodell. Everyone and their uncle
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: knew that the Raiders were done in Oakland, they were
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: moving to Vegas. You remember, this is going back a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: few years twenty seventeen, back when the Astros were cheating
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in baseball. But Roger Goodell was very vague when everyone
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: was aware the Raiders are going to be leaving to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Nevada from northern California until it became official.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: And then when it became official, all of a sudden,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: you know, there you go. And so guys like Adam.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Silver, they always prioritize I get it, diplomacy.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Ray, you don't want to fan the flames.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: You talk about these conversations like their explorations, and there's
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: things probably gonna happen, and these are business decisions and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: all that stuff.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And then you allow whoever the owner is, to take
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: the trapnel. And the pattern is not just a.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Basketball story or a football story. It is across the board,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: across the board.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: You do not admit intent. You don't admit it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Do not admit intent early on because you don't want
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to alienate people and complicate things and things like that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Right now, final point, So, looking down on the rain
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of Adam Silver, what is the soundtrack? I think the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: soundtrack is of Adam Silver and his time as commissioner.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Mister commissioner.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: So at this point, I know there's a lot of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: basketball media that get down and pray at the altar
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of Adam Silver. But on this side of the microphone,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the soundtrack of Adam Silver's time as commissioner is a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Mott Cruz song doctor feel good Like He's the one
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that makes you feel good, Adam Silver. Right the players,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver is a pushover. He's like a doormat. Everyone
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: walks over Adam Silver. The NBA is suffering from a
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: blank spot, a theoretical mass in the Commissioner's office at
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: this particular point, where have you gone, David Stern? A
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: basketball nation turns its lonely eyes to you, Unfortunately, David
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: has moved on.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: He's been traded behind the pearly gates. He's not coming back.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: But David Stern.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this when I was walking into
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the studio to do the show, like, David Stern is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: really the last commissioner that had machismo?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Is that a fair statement or not a fair statement?
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: That may make my elevator pitch.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And I'll give you my supporting evidence why I believe
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: David Stern was the last commissioner that actually had balls
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Because David Stern was willing to make bold, polarizing moves.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: He was willing to upset people who played in the NBA.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He was willing to upset teams in the NBA. You
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: remember the malice at the Palace, the punishment to my
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: former colleague here at Fox Sports Radio, Rod our Tests
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: who worked here.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: There was the dress code enforcement.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: When David Stern went nuts because people were freaking out
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: because the players were wearing clown costumes on the court
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: with the shorts, that getting upset by that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: And then to me, the biggest sign that David Stern
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: was the last.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Commissioner that had balls was the whole load management era
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and the foresight that David Stern had.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: He knew right away this is poison. This is poison.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And it's much like when you get cancer. You got
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to get the cancer out of your body. Right you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: have a dead wood, you get cut the dead wood out.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And right away, immediately David Stern said, all my god,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: this is going to kill our business. And what does
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a real boss do. A real boss does something, right,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: They put on their big boxer shorts on, they go
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: out there and they do something. And David Stern, he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: knew the San Antonio Spurs brought the poison to the NBA.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: They contaminated the NBA and the Spurs they sent home.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: They're playing in Florida. They sent home four key players
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and I think most of them are all of them
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: if I remember the story. They flew home on Southwest
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Airlines and it was for a nationally televised game, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: David Stern.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Just lost it. He fined the Spurs two hundred and
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars. He bemoaned this.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And since he left, you know, million years ago, his commissioner,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: but Adam Silver replaced him. Under Adam Silver's watch, well,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he's been in the big chair the infestation that David
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Stern tried to stop of load management has gotten so bad?
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: How bad is it?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Got in a league with four hundred and fifty plus
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: players and the bare minute you gotta play sixty five
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: games certain minute requirements. Out of four hundred and fifty players,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: only eighty four of them had enough guts to actually
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: play sixty five games and be eligible for awards. And
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: David Stern knew that was coming. He knew that was coming.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: He tried to stop it. And Adam Silver has essentially
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: been a matador oleole. He's like the guy at the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: NASCAR race waving the white flags and here we go, boys,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: let's get going.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: No more alpha commissioners. Every commissioner is a beta.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Every single commissioner is a is a beta at this point,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I mean good down list. Like Roger Goodell at one
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: point used to punish players.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: He hadn't do it anymore.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: He hadn't everyone. You know, Rot Goodell's just tody that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: all he is. And rob manfraud. He had a team
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: cheating the Commissioner of Baseball under his nose, caught red handed,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and he then protected them, didn't punish them. And when
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: people said, hey, you should take that trophy at a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: bogus stroke.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: It's just a hunk of metal.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Every team in baseball is playing for a hunk of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: metal because you have the Omega commissioner there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it it is wild the era that
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: we're in right now.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: We need someone to take over that actually has a
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: backbone as a commissioner.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: We really do.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. Get Smeller.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: How about that? To the third degree. This is one
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: big Ben gets grilled.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Goober Loop and The New York Giants general manager told
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: reporters in a pre traft news conference that the team
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: has received a number of calls from other teams about
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: the number three overall pick. He would not rule out
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: trading down in the draft for the right deal. But
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: would you be surprised if the Giants traded away the
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: number three.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: No, because they don't want a quarterback. There's really no
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: quarterback to take.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: The consensus is cam Ward it's going to be number
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: one overall, and then after that there's going to be
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a big gap between quarterbacks being picked or at least
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: there should be.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: It sounded to me listening between the words that Joe.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Shane was trying to speak a trade into reality that
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: he's trying to he said, Ah, we maybe won't we
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: won't draft a quarterback, and that's just the player that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: might be there is up Dual Carter. So they figured
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: somebody might be willing to trade up to get up
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Dual Carter. So that's the guy they'll be willing to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: trade next.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Trade rumors around TJ.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Watt continue to heat up the longer he and the
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Steelers go without reaching an extension agreement. However, one Steelers
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: insider said this week that there just isn't much of
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: a market for a one hundred and sixty million dollars
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: thirty one year old Ben Do you agree.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Any player with that kind of money is not going
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: to have a huge market.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But all it takes is one aristocrat, one robber baron
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: owner to say, all right, this is the guy.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: We want, and that kind of player gets traded via
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: an owner.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: That's not a trade that happens based on like some
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: nerd that went to Yale or Harvard that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Is in the front office.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a small market. But it's not just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: because of the age. It's like everything together and it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: like there's a lot of money. It's like guys get
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: hurt all the time to even TJ Wat's got hurt
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. And the Steelers are so buttoned up unstealer,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: like you trade him next.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio um Jim Bowden insinuated this week that
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is already on the hot seat
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: and could be gone by the All Star break without
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: a major turnaround in Baltimore.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Ben are things already that serious?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: The Orioles are a bad baseball team, and they had
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a terrible offseason and I've watched a few of their
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: games and they have looked like they haven't practiced at all.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think he's been there a long time.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: They did, they haven't won in the playoffs. There's absolutely
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Brandon Hyde.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I'd buy it he's not long for that job. How
• 32:07

• 32:09
