• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the dates are Thursday show and we got trade action
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the game of musical Chairs in the Nbaah. So, there
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: been a gaggle of trades, and most of the people
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: traded you'd never heard of. You don't know who they are.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And there was one trade that stands out head and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: shoulders above all the other trades. And so that'll be
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the one we're going to talk about here at the beginning.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets has gotten what he wants. What
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: kind of what do he want? It's complicated, it's complicated,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but the game of musical chairs goes round and round her.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Now the music stops this afternoon. Keep in mind, for years,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the NBA trade deadline was at midnight, and then there
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was one woman who convinced the NBA to change the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. She ruined it for those of us to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: do overnight talk radio, Rachel Nichols. She ruined it, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: then she lost her job anyway. But yeah, she complained
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: because she had to stay up late for the trade deadline.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It was an inconvenience. So they decided to make the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: trade deadline during the afternoon. But fortunately we're still getting
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: late night. But we used to call Woe woge bombs,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but now Woje is hanging out in Jersey, living the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: quiet life there and doing his thing. But the trade.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Get to the point, please, So we have learned, if
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you did not pay attention earlier, that the Miami Heat,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors and several other teams all got together
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and they had a meet and greet and they agreed
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to a trade. So Jimmy Butler goes from Miami, Miami,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Miami to northern California, Golden State moving Andrew Wiggins, Dennish Shrewder,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the guy won't get to him in a second. We
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: talked about him yesterday. Kyle Anderson, a first round pick
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and a partridge in a pear tree, all of that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: outbound from the Bay Area. And the Wiggins, we are told,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is staying in Miami for now, Andrew Wiggins, so he'll
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: stay there. And now Josh Richardson headed to Detroit from Miami.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: There'll be a quiz on this later. Shrewder goes and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he said modern day slavery. He goes to u Utah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So he'll go play for the jazz. You can talk
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about modern slavery in Salt Lake City and also part
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of the move PJ. Tucker, who was in exile with
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the people seemed the Clippers, then was traded to Utah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but he's now going back to Miami. So and there's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: other like stuff involved, like Detroit's involved. I mean, it's hard.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's really way too complicated. It doesn't need to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that hard. It does not need to be that hard.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The owners in the NBA attempted to neoter the trade deadline.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put all these different layers in it. We're
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: gonna get all complicated, and you gotta make seventeen teen
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: trades to make it happen, assuming that that would calm
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the trading frenzy. Well, spoiler alert, Yeah, it didn't work.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It didn't work. But Jimmy Buckets is the big name,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and that is the player that we're going to focus
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in on, and so we'll start with that and then
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: work our way through the malaise. So as we discuss here,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as we discuss the question Jimmy Butler and his long
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: saga where he was suspended multiple times from the heat
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: upset with the front office there in Miami. The saga
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is now ov r. It's all over as he heads
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the war so who won the trade? Who won the trade?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So I've got Lucky Charms, paleontology, and bon Jovi, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: going to go on a nice vacation, which is what
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors will eventually be doing when they
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: were eliminated from the playoffs, assuming they do end up
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, which is really hard not to make
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the playoffs in the NBA. So my first thought here,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: our long national nightmare is over. Jimmy Butler can stop
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: playing hooky. He can end the absenteeism from his basketball
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: career there and get back to hooping in the Bay Area.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And he was really really annoyed with pat Riley. Oh Man,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: did he hate pat Riley and so he had a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wildcat strike and it's spilled over most of this year
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: off on. The Butlers played some games, but he's it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: been unhappy. He's been sulking, having a conniption fit in Miami.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He did end up with the Heat going to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals not once but twice, so two trips to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals for Jimmy Buckets, although one was during
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: COVID so that then count. And then three suspensions on
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: his way out of South Florida, so not one, not two,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but three. Very hostile at the end there for Jimmy Buckets.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Now ask for the trade itself. Malor report card the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: most important grading system that we have when it comes
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to trade. So maller report card. I'm gonna give the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Warriors an A, not an A plus, just an A,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not an A plus an A. I'm gonna give the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Heat the D. Heat get the D. Then the other
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: teams involved all get a C. Because I don't know
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: who any of these players are. And it's kind of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: stupid thing like Danny Ainge continues to only run the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Utah Jazz to help other teams make trades. It's not
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: like they're actually getting any better the Utah Jazz. They're
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: just moving things around and rearranging and they're not getting
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: rid of anything, and so it's just a hot mess,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just a hot mess. Now. Jimmy Butler, why, like you've
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: heard the show. He's one of the guys in the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: NBA that I liked. I like the way that he
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: plays the Gusto that he plays with and all that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So he has shown some signs of wear and tear.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: He's missed more time than he had in his younger
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it is which normally happens. And you think he's still
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: got some fuel left at least for the short term
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: as he goes to play with Golden State. But now
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he gets a chance to team up with Steph Curry
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and Raymond Green. And how does that recipe taste? How
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: does that taste? Well, how does it smell? It smells
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kind of like lucky charm. So there's a lot of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: sugar in there. There's a lot. Maybe it's magically delicious.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It might not be magically delicious. We
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: haven't had it yet. But there's a lot of name
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: brand players. So there's players we've heard of that had
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: long careers. The smart money, though, says that this ends
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: up a bedraggled mess. It ends up a bedraggled mess.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Now page two, So what does Jimmy Butler provide for
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Golden State that Andrew Wiggins didn't? And what does Andrew
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Wiggins do in Miami? So Jimmy Butler is the Tasmanian devil,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: which is a good thing. He's a whirling dervish when
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: he's out on the court, which we like, We liked,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: enjoy that that type of player. He hadn't been that guy,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: has not been that guy with the Miami Heat much
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this year because he's been sulking, having a hissy fit,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and that's been part of the problem. But you put
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: him in Golden State. Now Jimmy Buckets is smiling all
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the way to the bank, other than the fact that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he has to pay taxes in the People's Republic of California,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: which is much different than the state of Florida. But
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the maniocal perseverance paid off for for Jimmy Butler because
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he had Golden State not only trade for him, but remember,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: there were reports the last couple of days that he
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: was unwilling to agree to a contract extension with the Warriors,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to do it. But yet here
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he is headed to San Francisco to play for the Warriors.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He agrees to an extension worth and estimated one hundred
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and twenty one million dollars for two years of work
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one men. Of course, after taxes,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that's about fifty bucks. But still one hundred and twenty
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: one million. He talked about the Golden Hammer, that would
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be the golden hammer for sure, and the problem here,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned that I'm not optimistic, I'm not Benny
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Brightside on this working out for Golden State. I'm curious
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to see how this plays out. But I have a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: pretty good idea how it's going to go for the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: wars because Steve Kerr, the Golden State coach there, Steve
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is doing paleontology when he's coaching the Warriors going forward,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of fossils. There's a lot of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: fossils in modern sports lingo. If you're past the age
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of thirty three, your past year athletic prime. When you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: get about thirty five, it's close to lights out. The
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: party's over. So Steph Curry is thirty six, turns thirty
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: seven later this year. You've got Draymond Green who's thirty four,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: turns thirty five later this year. And you've got Jimmy
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Butler who's thirty five. So you've got thirty something all
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: over the place at key positions here. So that is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the last dance. That would be the last dance for
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Golden State. Over the next the rest of this year,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and then next year, and that's pretty much it. That's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: all you can really expect. Like they've got two options.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: They've got this year and next year. If you look around,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: there's teams that have really nice records, like Oklahoma City,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but does anyone really take them seriously? Come on, no,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and you bounce, Well, there's a shot, but then you're like, well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: these guys will get hurt, but they're no back to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: back games. There's no back to back games in the playoffs.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about that. But we'll see,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. And eventually the Warriors will get
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to the point where, like in twenty twenty seven, they'll
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be seeing if they can track down Speedy Claxton and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jason Richardson and Baron Davis and see if Mike Montgomery
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: wants to coach and all that, you know, because they'll
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be back to those early two thousands Warriors that were
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: just god awful, just horrible. Now, as for Miami, Andrew Wiggins,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: not a star, not a star, supposed to be a star,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: not a star, not a star, not a headline star.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Certainly not that he's like a high end supporting actor
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is what Andrew Wiggins is in the Heat now. What
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it is is this bam Adabaio and Tyler Heroes team
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: for the time being until pat Riley can convince someone
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: else to head down to Florida and play for the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Heat and be the headliner. But for now it's bam
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Adebayo and Tyler hero and so Andrew Wiggins will play
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: alongside those guys and they're the main actors. And that's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it all right now, last word before picking up Jimmy Butler,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: there was a hot Detroit rumor bouncing all around the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: pinball machine of the sports take that the Golden State
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Warriors were solely focused on bringing in the Slim Reaper.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: They wanted the Slim Reaper to return, They wanted a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do over, and that was the talk in the early
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: part of the day on Wednesday, was that Kevin Durant
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was in talks, so the Sons were trying to get
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: him to come back and all that. Now we're told
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that it got to the point where KD was contacted
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: by intermediaries and Kevin Durant in form of the Warriors,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: no moss, I'm good. I would rather fall on top
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of a cactus, then play another game with Raymond Green.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what he's saying. He didn't say that, and so,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: but that's what he's implying because he has no desire.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: He had no desire for a reunion to go back
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to the Bay and go down memory lane, back to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the glory days of the Golden State, where so Durant
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: is like, I don't want any part of that. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: then the Suns are like, all right, well, keep your
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: your old ass, and then the Warriors pivoted and they
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: went out and they made the deal to get Jimmy Butther.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of like the the Bon Jovie tune
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Burning Bridges. It's like Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, whatever happened,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: There is a there there. It's not that there's not
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a there there. There is a there there. And it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: real like if you're Durant and you're stuck on a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: team going nowhere in the Suns. Granted, Golden State's not
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: exactly a bowl of cherries, but you figure you got
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a better shot there than you have in Arizona. But
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you'd rather stay with your suck bag teammates in the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Suns than go play for the Warriors because there were
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: some bridges that were burned. Obviously in that Loggerheads relationship
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: with Traymond Green, it's personal. So the trade deadline is
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: still a few hours away, and so it's possible this
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: could all change and Durant ends up being relocated. Does
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not seem like that is going to happen. He does
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not have a no trade clause, so they could send
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: him to Siberia.
• 14:35

• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Com we'll help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: free shipping, free road hazard protection number ten thousand recommented
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in stars tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I know, not a burner, A fan of that number
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: ten thousand. Also Van the one legged Bama man who
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we spoke to last hour, loves the number ten thousand.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, our lead, this hours from
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the game of free agency, the game of free agency
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: baseball style. We'll get back to basketball. Trade deadline is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: later today. We have had a gaggle of trades, a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: yahoo of trades, but with days to go, pitchers and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: catchers start reporting today's February sixth. Pitchers and catchers start
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: reporting February ninth, So three days away from show up
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to worktime, and Pee Alonzo is no longer unemployed. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: has found a new home. Pee Alonzo free agent slugger
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: long with the Mets. And it turns out the new
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: home is the old home. Assume you know by now,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but maybe not. We learned that slugger Pee Alonzo late
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: in the night agreeing to a two year contract for
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: fifty four million fifty four million from the Mets, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that ends the elongated free agency, a return engagement shows
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: added to the polar Bear experience for the New York Mets,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and they're still working on the DOCU sign so it's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: not done, done done. Pending of physical includes an opt out. Now,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I always say pending of physical because you could get
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a Carlos Correa cheating a whole situation. Remember Korea years
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: ago signed with the Giants and then failed the physical,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: signed with the Mets, failed the physical, and then he
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: ended up with Minnesota where he's just a failure. So anyway,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Alonzo is not done done, but it's almost done. He's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: gonna go back to the Mets and he will make
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: thirty million this year and then he can hit the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: eject button and opt out of the contract. So let
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question Pete Alonso going back to the Metropolitans,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: what does that signal to you? So I'm gonna go
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: first my observations. I have post malone, MACHETI and goodie bag,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: welcome you to our new app. You can hit that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: button right there. We don't actually have an app, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: if we did, we'd tell you to use our app.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: But we don't have one, so number, I said number
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the owner medal. After a minutes long Mallor investigation, the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: owner of the New York Mets, Stephen Cohen, a fanboy,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: intervened for better or worse, Steve Cohen is why Peter
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Alonzo is back with the New York Mets. The front office,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the handpicked executive that the Mets owner hired, determined that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Peter Alonso is a diminishing asset, that he's not gonna
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: get better, He's only gonna get worse. And the talk
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: said ended. That was the story that was being tossed
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: out there, that the conversations were over and Alonzo was
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not going to play for the Mets again. All but
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: O and then we do a one A and now
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: we're back with Peter Alonzo with the Mets. So for
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that to happen, either the general manager of the Mets
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: had a come to Jesus moment or he had a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: come to the owner's moment. And that was the great metamorphosis.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: That was the great change that took place. Right, nothing
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: else makes any sense, Nothing else makes any sense. Alonzo
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: was offered a seven year contract by the Mets last year,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: turned it down. He was supposedly offered a seventy some
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: million dollar contract a couple months ago, he turned that down,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and now he ends up with a two year contract
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: for fifty four million, which is really only a one
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: year contract for thirty million. The math ain't mathing. You
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: do the mal or math on that it doesn't look
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: good for Peter Alonzo, but yet he's back. So that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: likely means that Steve con massaged Pete Alonzo's ego and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: convinced the front office, his own front office to take
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: a lone back and Pete Alonso. The reason he did
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: this is because he was playing the tune from post Malone.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: No options, had no option, no good options. There were
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: options for the polar Bear, but not good option, like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: if you believe the scuttle, but the streets talking around
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: baseball and the streets in baseball saying that the Toronto
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays were there, they had a standing offer, the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds had some interest, and then suck back teams
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: like the Angels and the Higantes also had interest in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Pee Alonzo. So well, I can go to one of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: those teams and then play one year and then opt
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: back in, or I could go to the Mets and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: play one year and then do it again all over
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and so he chose to go to the Mets, which
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is actually a smart move. The Mets figure to win
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the National League East, or at very worst be a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: wild card team. They're not going to win anything in
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, because we all know the Doyers own the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: National League. But the Mets will be in playoff games
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and Pete Alonzo will have opportunities on the big stage
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to hit home runs. He's not getting any younger, though,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. And baseball's run by a bunch of Poindexters,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and that is an issue that Peter Alonzo will not
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: be able to overcome. But at least in theory, if
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: he goes out in twenty twenty five Alonzo for the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Mets and hits fifty home runs and drives in one
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty runs, and you say, okay, there's something there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: There's something there, and somebody will take a shot on him,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and so that's it. But the polar Bear, Now, how
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: weird is it. He was the face of the Mets
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: for so many years and now he goes back there
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and he's the third wheel. Peet Alonzo is number three
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: number three, got Juan Soto who's signed for the forever
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: contract and he's got more money than the gross domestic
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: product of several small countries. And then you've got Francisco
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Lindor who's also got ridiculous amounts of money. And then
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: peet Alonzo slides, and then who knows if he's even
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: number three on the Mets, he might be even lower
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: than that. And so we'll do this all over again.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo will opt out of his contract. He gets
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: hurt or has a terrible year, he'll opt out of
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: his contract and try to find a new team. In
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, Now, page two, we go to the NFL,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, where the Cleveland Browns blow and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they have one good player. They have one player that's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: head and shoulders everyone else. Miles Garrett. Remember when he
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: went four against the Steelers years ago and he threw
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the helmet down like he was throwing the hammer down. Anyway,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett spoke publicly for the first time since announcing
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I am done in Cleveland. I don't want to play
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: any any more games here. I'm out. So he spoke
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: of the radio row where all the free loading media
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: elites hang out there in New Orleans and Miles Garrett
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: saying that he and the Browns organization on are not
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: aligned on the future. Thank you, Captain obvious. Okay, we
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: couldn't figured that one out. He mentioned Miles Garrett the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: word trajectory, meaning the trajectory of the Browns franchise, which
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: is kind of like when you fire a rocket up
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: like those old remember those old I better announce you'd
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be the old space shuttles. They are the old Space
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Shuttle if you're old enough formever, so they'd shoot the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Space Shuttle up. They had those booster rockets, and then
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: assuming that the Space Shuttle didn't explode, the booster rockets
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: would come off the Space Shuttle and fall back down
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: into the ocean. And so if you think of the Browns,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: they're like, not the Space Shuttle going out to outer space,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: They're like the booster rockets falling back down to the ocean.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: That's the Cleveland Browns right there. That's the trajectory. And
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: so Garrett said he had some conversations with the Highers
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: up and all that stuff. So the part of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: story which is interesting here that really is the meat
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: on the bone don't bear the lead, my man, heart,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bear the lead. So the part of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the story, which I believe makes good talk radio is
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that Miles Garrett said that he consulted with who about
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: asking for a trade Lebron James ding ding ding ding
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Yes,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett said, when contemplating whether or not to leave Cleveland,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: he had a hearty conversation with Lebron James, who left
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Cleveland not once, but twice, left the cadavers in the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: middle of the night, and they said they Miles Garrett said,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they had to talk about what that would be like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Now Cleveland's Miles Garrett says he consulted with
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Lebron James before demanding a trade in an exit off
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: ramp from Cleveland. How do you rule on this one?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: How do you rule on this one? So after a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: very brief deliberation, bad luck, bad job by Miles Garrett.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Now he's honest. That's fine. You can give an a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: for honesty. But this is something that did not need
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to be said. And the people, and I don't live
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland, we're on the radio there and I am
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: from what I understand of my friends from Ohisle. The
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Cleveland sports fan was sympathetic. They had empathy for Miles Garrett.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That the Browns, they know, are like the thing you
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: see in the toilet when you take a number two.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: So they understand that. But now that you've added Lebron
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: into the chat, now you're losing goodwill. That's taking a machete, right,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: taking a machete and cutting deep. That's a deep cut
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: with the machete. And we get the fact that Miles
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Garrett is part of Clutch Sports, which is a shadow
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: organization by Lebron James allegedly where Lebron can control much
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of the sports world and he bankrolls that, and you know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: one of his buddies runs it, and so I get
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: all that. Nevertheless, that is a body blow, body blow,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: body blow to the Cleveland sports fan. So Miles Garrett
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: by announcing that he became less less of a of
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: someone you can pull for. I'm using the right words here,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying. You feel me on that,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, Lebron, who fancies himself mister Ohio when
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: he showed up to the game in Atlanta, when Ohio
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: State played in the National Championship Game, and here he
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is conspiring to help another star Ohio athlete leave the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio giving him advice. Man, it doesn't seem
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: very cool. It doesn't seem neat you know. Now, Ultimately
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: it's the Browns incompetence than Deshaun Watson's inability to play,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and the Browns being married to Deshaun Watson that will
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: do this. But it does not help the situation. Does
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: not help the situation that this is how it went down,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: all right, final point. So quickly, the NFL Players Association
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: has announced that quote no one, No one wants to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: play eighteen games. Roger Goodell has said that the plan
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: is eventually to play eighteen games with the Players Association
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: says no one wants to play eighteen games. So where
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: does that leave Roger Goodell, the big shot over there
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: at the union says nobody wants to play eighteen games.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So it's not CarMax. It's all about haggling. This is
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: all about haggling, and the union says that because they
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: want concessions, and the union is wrong. The NFL Players
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Associations said, Wow, nobody wants to play eighteen games. That's
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a lie. I'll tell you people that want eighteen games.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: The owners of the NFL won eighteen games. Check. Television
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: wants eighteen games of regular season football. Check. Advertisers of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: tell television and radio want eighteen game regular seasons. Check check.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: The vast majority of fans want eighteen games in the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: regular season, and seventeen now they play seventeen now. That
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: was always a temporary place, that was just a stopover.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: They went from sixteen. You go to seventeen for a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: couple of years, and then eventually you go to eighteen
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: because you don't want to have an odd number of games.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody else does that. It's always an even number. That way,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you can have a five hundred team that's always an
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: even number. And they're playing seventeen now, and that's that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: just short term. That's not long term. And so the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: way this is gonna work, and they just want the union,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get it. They want the goodie bag. What's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: in the bag? The goodie bag? Another quote from the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Godfather movies, right, the greatest movie for quotes of all time.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Just got to grease the poms. Roger Gidels has got
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to grease the palms of the players. Give the players
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: an extra bye week, check more time off from practice.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We know the players don't like the practice, so check check.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: That means the games will suck more. But that's fine,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: We'll get the extra game. Just sweeten the pot. Just
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: sweeten the pot a little more money. You know, the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: anifl's got so much money. It's like their drug lords
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: from Mexico. They got to bury money in the ground.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: They don't have to do with all the money. They
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: got so much money. And so ultimately, the way this
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: will work, you'll have two exhibition games, you'll have eighteen
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: regular season games and two bye weeks, so it'll be
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a twenty two week preseason slash regular season. And that's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that boom. There you go. And you can even have
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl on President's Day weekend, so everyone has
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the Monday off so they can stop complaining and they
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: can hang out and get completely shlocked, completely hammered on
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that Sunday and not have to go to work on Monday. Now,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: keep in mind Fred Dreyer, who's a friend of the show,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and he was an NFL player and an actor in Hollywood,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and he's a buddy of mine, and he's in here.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Several times. We should have Fred back in reach out
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to Fred, but Fred told us, he said, listen, he
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: was playing in the nineteen seventies, in the eighties, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Fred Dreyer said, even back then, this goes back to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the Pete Roselle days of the NFL. You don't even
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: know who that is, probably, but they wanted a twenty
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: game season back then. And at that time, I believe
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: they were playing like fourteen games. I think neither twelve.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I think it was fourteen. You know, college was ten.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I mean the NFL was fourteen, and then they went
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to sixteen games. But even back then, they were like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: let's get to twenty, and we like twenty.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

  Speaker 1: Here we go, It's maller. How about that?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: To the third degree?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets great approval.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: In a recent interview, Kirk Cousins revealed that he was
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: injured in Week ten and continued to play through the
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: injury before he was benched. Now, Ben, I know the
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Falcons said that they're happy to have him as a backup,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: but many think a clean break is gonna happen. Where
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: do you think Cousins ends up next season?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that both New York teams don't have a quarterback,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: so the Giants and Jets right there. The Raiders don't
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback, The Steelers don't have a quarterback. The
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, so I would say the Raiders. It doesn't
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: sound like Russell Wilson wants to go back and hang
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: out with Pete Carroll. There's some tension there. We'll see
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: if that's true or not. So I'm gonna go Raiders
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and Jets at the very top for Kirk Cousins, who
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: got I believe ninety million for fourteen games. Tremendous job
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: by him. Right next now.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: It's been known that the Pelicans have been shopping Zion
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Williamson for weeks.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: They got rid of brandon Ingram.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Do you think they'll be able to move Zion in
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: the needs the last few hours?
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: No? No, he will stay there, which is great for
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the people that run restaurants in New Orleans. He'll be
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: hanging out there enjoying all the gumbo, the begnets, and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: all the wonderful food. No, he's he's not. They're married
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to Zion, they're handcuffed design. He's not being traded neck.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Not today.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Next Kurk Shilling revealed if you were to ever be
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: enshrined in the Hall of Fame, that he would want
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: a Diamondbacks cap on his plaque.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Ben, will he ever make it?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Well? When I think of when I think of Shilling,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: rather I think of either the Red Sox or the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks the Bloody Saw game, which was catch up when
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: he pitched for the Red Sox. But he was really
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: good with Arizona and he's one of these guys that
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: played for a gazillion different teams. I don't have a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: problem with him if he should be in the Hall
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of Fame. He's not gonna get in the Hall of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Fame because the woke sports writers won't put him in
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: because of politics. But I don't have a problem with
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: him as a Diamondback.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: How do you do you fail? It wasn't ketchup? There
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: you go, it was ketchup Dog, Doug Mirabelly. The catcher
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: said it was ketchup Dog Mirabelly. Doug Mirabelly.

  Speaker 5: Hour, Google all right, this is a question from I
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: forty ian Hi Ian. He would like to know. Do
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: you believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: No. Now, when I first got into media, everyone at
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: these games. I went to all the older sports writers.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They were obsessed with the Kennedy assassination. I've not been
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to the place in Dallas where the shooting happened. I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: need to get there and check it out. But no,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I don't not think he acted alone. I thought Trump
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: was going to let everyone know what happened. Didn't he
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: say he was going to release the files on the Yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: when's that supposed to happen?
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't believe him. He's lying. I mean, I
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: just I mean, I don't know.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I think he'd rather do that than tell us that
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: there's little goblins out there living in the ocean. No,
• 33:57

• 34:41
  Speaker 6: He would like to know.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Have you ever sneaked into an event without the proper clearance?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, when I was, when I was growing up in
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the I think the statue of limitations is out. But
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: when I was growing up I used to collect the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: autographs out and lived in Orange County. So you go
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: out the big A in Anaheim and we as kids,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: we were in high high school. We figured out we
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't afford to go to a lot of the games,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: even though the tickets were a lot cheaper money was
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't have as much money. So we figured out
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: there was a After the Rams, they renovated the standing
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: for the Rams, there were some back door play in
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the very back of the big A where employees would
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: walk out. The doors would lock, but if you stood
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: on the side of the doors they would You couldn't
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: open them from the outside, but if you stood while
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the employee walked out, you could quickly get in the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: door and walk in the Big A and no one
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: would ever find you.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: These days, did have somebody posted up right there to
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: make sure I would I would be sent to Guantanamo Bay.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: But but back then, it yeah, we did it many times.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It was great. We even snuck in. I remember I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: snuck in the Yankees were taking batting practice and they
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: like Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, the Yankees is very cool.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Lorrain, I ever sneak.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: In anywhere, No, I don't think I have.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And even the movies, not even like an extra movie
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: at the movie theater. I did do that one everyone
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: does that right.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Maybe hop I did it down here with my friend.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Uh and the theaters down here is so big though
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: the ones in Oregon, you can't do it. We're in
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: my hometown. It's just one one alway.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: So Coop says that doesn't count it. I mean, I
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: guess it does. I don't know if mine counts as
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: an event either.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: But I used to sneak into six Flags Magic Mountain.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: You did.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: That's impressive.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: So what you would do is they used to I
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: don't know if this is still because I haven't been
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: in years, but it used to be you go in
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: and if you wanted to leave the park, they would
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: give you a handstamp. Yeah, and then you just showed
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: the stamp when you walk back in. And so we
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: would have a friend that had a pass go in,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: get the handstamp, immediately cover their hand with their other
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: hand to keep it like moist, and then just do
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: like a little transfer.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, even though it was not a nile.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: Even even though it wasn't facing the right way, the
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: person checking the stamp, they weren't really looking.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: They're just checking the sea if you've got.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. So we did that plenty times Oh, that's awesome.
