  Speaker 2: Our friend from from Dallas, big fan of that tyract

  Speaker 2: dot com the Way tire buying show. Well, I don't
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: think Benito, a long suffering cowboy fan, is from Dallas,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: but he does support that. So our lead this hour
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is from the NFL. It's a big news week for
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the NFA. You do this for a living. This is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a big week Scouting combine. The only reason the Scouting
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Combine exists is for gossip to drive the conversation. Here
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in the last week of February, the combine will spill
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in to Monday, so early March. It goes over the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: weekend and it's nothing but content here, there, and everywhere,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And the grapevine is alive and well. The rumors running
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: wild this week as the event takes place there Indianapolis,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and none of those rumors made more of an impact
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: throughout the day.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Over the last twenty four hour news cycle than.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: The speculation about what former Patriot and Buccaneer tight end
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Rob Grankowski has up his sleeve, what he is considering.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Story that came out of randomly Denver, of all places,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that Rob Gronkowski reportedly wants to return to the NFL
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: after doing television in the last couple of years.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He has been working out in Vail.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It's in Colorado Arena, working out in Veil, and this
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: offseason wants to be ready for another season, so he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: been working out in high altitude to prepare his body
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: training this last couple of months here, I guess, really
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: last month to prepare himself for the return to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: NFL training camp, et cetera, et cetera, if a team
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is interested in bringing him in.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Now, that report said the Broncos, which.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Happened to be in Colorado as well and also play
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: at altitude where the team most prominently mentioned at least
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in this report. Now hours after that started bouncing around
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the pinball machine of the sports Chat or the Echo Amber.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Hours later. It was not Adam Schefter. Schefter did not
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: debunk it. It was Ian Rapaport from state sponsored NFL
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: media who attempted to shut down the report. He said, Nope, nonsense,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is what rap sheet said. So let us discuss the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: question this NFL insider dude trying to spoil the fun.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: There the report that Rob Gronkowski is contemplating a return
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to glory in the NFL and attempted comeback.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The report said, wow, that's nonsense. What are your.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Thoughts on the developments involving the Rob Gronkowski story?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So I've got bingo card, microscope, and meme coin, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: are going to make a frat party. Doesn't it always
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: look like Gronks ready to go to a frat party
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: at any moment. He's always prepared. He's got like his
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: little travel bag, his overnight bag, and he's ready to go.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So my first thought of this, I would say number.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I said number. Can I get a number?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: No? I can't number.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Late reaction, all right, So let's start with Captain obvious
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: here at the beginning of this mallary monologue. Rap sheet
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: does work for the prov the news service of the NFL.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But spiler alert.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He's not always right. Okay, these guys are not always
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: right and last I checked. He's not some kind of god.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He's rap sheet. That's it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And so Gronkowski has hinted.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We know for a fact that he has hinted at
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: returning to the NFL.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He loves to flirt.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: With the idea that he would come back, all right,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and in fact he said recently quote, I might as
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: well go back to football because I'm grinding harder than
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I ever grind before and I'm not even playing football.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Gronkowski made that statement on the Dude on Dude's podcast.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: What kind of name is that for a Dude on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Dude's podcast? Pay If Gronk will go on the Dude
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on Dude's podcasts, you'll probably go on the Fifth Hour podcast.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I can probably book Gronk for my podcast My God. Anyway,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: here's when you look down from thirty thousand feet. It
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: actually makes some sense for Gronk to try to come back.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: He's not very good at television. He's not, just be
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: honest here, he sucks at TV. There is a connection
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to the Broncos, if my malor math is correct. Sean
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Peyton when he was on hiatus when the Saints worked
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: at Fox and was a colleague of Rob Gronkowski, so
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: there is a relationship there, so it would make sense
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the Broncos Sean Peyton, the connection with Gronk. That part
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: of it makes sense, and the other factory. This is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a standard trope of the NFL off season. When you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: dust off the off season Bingo card in the NFL,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the former player career renaissance is on the Bengo card.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's on there.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: That's a standard storyline. There's certain storylines that fill the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: NFL off season. Been doing this for a minute or two,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and you probably know these as well, and you pay
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: attention to this stuff and you're maybe not in it
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: as much as I am, but you know what's going on.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: So the former player coming back. Also star NFL coach
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: thinking about leaving coaching because of the grind and tired
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of the grind and MutS to do television.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay was popular pick for that. A couple of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin has been mentioned in that storyline that offseason
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: trope star NFL coach thinking about going and doing TV. Also,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the NFL coach could be traded. We already had that
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: with the Shanahan rumors to the Bears, but that's over
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: with now because the coaching vacancies have been filled. You've
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: got something that we would look forward to in the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: next month or so. File this one away. The random
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: realtor or friend of the realtor that spotted Player X
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: looking at real estate in like foxborog like T Higgins,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: there'll be a story T Higgins was looking at places
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in Boston to rent. Or another one is Matthew Stafford's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: wife was looking at schools in New Jersey and she
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was leading at private schools in New Jersey for the kids.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So that means Stafford's going to the Giants. Done.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You also have, as you mentioned that the gronk thing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: former player returning for years. It was Colin Kaepernick, who
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: wasn't even that good when he played, but people's got clicks.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: He's like, well, Kaepernick's gonna come back, He's gonna play.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You got that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: All the time that goes on. We had quarterbacks Kurt
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Warner when he left the NFL. Well, Brett Farv popped
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: up Peyton Manning, who was totally cooked his last year
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: with the Broncos, but his name kept coming up. Maybe
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: he'll come back. Tom Brady has had that on. Maybe
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Brady wants to come back and play for the forty
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: nine ers. Will that story come back around?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: All right? Now?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Pitched you what are the odds Let's just say that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: wrap sheet is wrong. What are the odds that if
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: he tried to come back, Gronkowski would be successful in
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the comeback attempt. So this, of course is dependent on
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: what your definition of success is. What my definition of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: success and what your definition of success are too, totally
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: different things, right, But looking at this objectively, putting it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: under the Mallard microscope, as we like to do, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Malord microscope, and you break it down scientifically, should this
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: story be real? And I'm skeptical, right, I'm skeptic. I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: skeptical this is just a pure attention.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Grab and all that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: But if that's the motivation, if it is merely to
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: get publicity, it is a grand salami. It is a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: grand slam. Get out the rye bread and the mayo
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and the mustard and all that. It's a grand slam
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: mission accomplished, chief publicity for Gronkowski. If this is the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: real deal, and Gronkowski is actually considering a return.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: To the field, it's not an okie doke.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, outset the malarodds at plus fifteen hundred.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Now plus fifteen hundred implies about a five percent chance
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the will be any good.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: We have seen so many of.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: These guys leave and then a couple of years later
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: they come back and there is shell. The idea of
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: them returning to greatness is nice, but they generally it
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: just doesn't work out. There's a lot of ross, a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: lot of corrosion, a lot of mold and all that,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and gronk. The way he played back in his younger days,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: he's in his mid thirties now he was a crash
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: test dummy. He played when he was last play I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: think it was thirty two, So he's gonna be thirty
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: six by the time the next.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: NFL season comes around.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And you look at the contemporary tight end, that would
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: be Travis Kelcey was about toast right now at age
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: thirty five. Travis Kelsey all right, now, final point. We
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: pivot to air Arizona, well, actually the combine in Indianapolis,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: but the Arizona contingent where Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon was
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: singing the virtues of Kyler Murrayah, how much stalk do
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you put into the coach of the Cardinals buttering the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: biscuits of Kyler Murrays. Well, it's not his fault. The
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Cardinals fell apart in the second alp blah blah blah blah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. That was the theme. That was the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: theme from the.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Coach Gannon there, So think of the way I look
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: at this right, Agannon who you know, We don't need
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: to remember his name.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: He won't be there that long. The Cardinals coach is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: always a temp job.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: But Gannon sounds like that kind of fringe influencer guru
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: type at the bully pulpit there in my head, the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: cartoon bubble above my head. It's like the shady low
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: life trying to get you to buy some crypto.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But it's like the it's thinking like the Kyler Murray
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: mean coin.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: We'll call the Alligator Arms meme coin, and Gannon is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: using misleading promotion, if you will, to try to artificially
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: hype up and drive demand for the Alligator Arms mean coin.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's trying to drive up demand for that and the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: price he hopes will skyrocket and then once it reaches
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a certain level. The Arizona football team can sell off
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the meme coin.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Alligator Arms, get rid of it. It's called the pump
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and dump, and there you go. The Hawk Tour girl.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Was accused of being part of the scam, the crypto
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: scam back in that never happened with that, or that went.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Away or not.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: But we now know that Kyler, based on previous editions
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: of this show, is very thin skinned, very thin skinned,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and he needs his head rubbed, his shoulders rubbed, He
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: needs to get reassurance. So really what that was was
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: a it was knee pads from Gannon. It was getting
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: down low there, massaging everything. And the whole thing's ridiculous
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: because if you look at the Cardinals, you look at
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals franchise. Arizona got rid of Cliff Kingsbury. They
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: thought Cliff Kingsbury was holding back alligator Arms Murray.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They thought he was the problem, so they got rid
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of him. He's gone fine. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Guess what, you know what the common denominator is all
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these years, ding ding ding ding. That's right, that's right,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Kyler common denominator. See see he's got that fun size
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: oopa loopa. Look to him, and he physically cannot handle
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a full NFL season.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It's not my opinion, it's a fact.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: The seventeen game season is too long for a player
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the stature of Kyler Murray. We have enough of a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: body of evidence to verify that this is the case.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to talk about it. Everyone's in the Nile. No, No,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: it's not his faults. This guy's fault, that guy's fault.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: what is my supporting evidence? Let me give you my
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: elevator pitch here. Not only the eyeballs and the bifocals,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: but also the numbers back up what our eyes are
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: telling us. In his career, the first eight games of
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the NFL season, Kyler Murray has been either average or
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: above average in every key category in terms of yards
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: per pass attempt, quarterback rating, completion percentage, all of that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: For the first eight.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Games, Kyler Murray is actually a functional NFL quarterback. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: then when you get to Week nine and beyond. From
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Week nine and beyond, Kyler Murray is not only a quarterback,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: He's a suck bag at quarterback.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: He can't play.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: He is tangibly worse in every major category from first
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: half to second half. That's with two different head coaches.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: That's with roster upheaval. The one constant con and this
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: is a consistent common denominator, is Kyler Murray sucks in
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the second half of NFL season. In my opinion, it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a fact yards per pass attempt, a completion percentage, touchdown passes,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: interceptions go up, touchdown percentage goes down, interception percentage goes up.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Look it up. I'm not making it up. You can
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: look it up.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: So unless unless the Cardinals can find a sucker, a
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: sucker to take the unreliable Jalopi that is Kyler Murray,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Arizona is stuck in an endless loop writing it's a
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: small world. After all, It's a small, small world, over
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and over again for another three years. The Cardinals, the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: dumb dums with the Arizona Cardinals, the Mama Lukes there,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: decided to give Kyler Murray a massive contract extension and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: they then took out the language.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They actually has to watch tape.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: But he is a video game influencer, so he's very
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: good at the video games. Kyler Murray rock solid there
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: is no out in the contract till twenty twenty eight,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: no escape patch, no portal. They'd have to eat money. Now,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you'll eat money for a year or two, but you're
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: not going to do it for three years. So Kyler's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere. It is the Ben Malord Show. If
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you would like to come in on any of this,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: there's a line open for you at eight seven seven
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Nowe we still have that NBA conspiracy theory thing to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: get to from a previous hour. Also, you tell me
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: about a real pickle in sports. There's a real pickle
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: going on in sports. We'll get to that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And could we see a mega.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Trade prior to the NFL Draft involving the number one.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the bottom of that. We'll do it all,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and we will.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Do it.

  Speaker 2: just ate like chicken strips and Syracuse that was it anyway,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Chip says a plus on the Malay monologue. Like so
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: many retired football players who decided to make a comeback,

  Speaker 1: do you have? Paige Down? I can't read that.
• 21:59

  Speaker 1: Did not go so well for him, and it to

• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Big words from hollering James, big old words from James. Yes, indeed,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: big big'ems big them words. So the Tennessee Titans are
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: on the clock. They have the number one overall pick
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five NFL Draft. However, it's a bit of
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a booby prize because there is no clear cut top
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: player in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: There's no consensus on who will be the first pick.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: So at the combine, the general manager of the Titans,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: we don't need to see his name, say his name,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: because you don't know who is anyway.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: But the game of the Titans.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Said, quote, we're not anywhere near a decision whether we're
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: going to keep or trade the pick. That is code
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for someone, please call us. We want to trade the pick. Please,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: we'd like to trade the number one pick. Someone call us.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That's what that is. That's my interpretation. Now, I love
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: this story. This is for Alf the alien opiner who's
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: got that illness where he likes those pickles.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So there's this story out nickles. You know who the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Portland pickles are. I have a pickle in my box
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: right now. Brow No, I don't.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: So the Portland Pickles are a minor league baseball team
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and they're considering a lawsuit against Disney. They claim that
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: deep Disney your favorite over there, you're big Disney girl.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Disney used their logo without permission and they are considering
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: a legal challenge as they're upset with I guess Pixar
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and the parent company Disney Disney.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And uh, it's all about the pickles. The wait, so
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: they stole their pickle?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's the there's a story out that they
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: claim that they took the pickle mascot.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And they used it. Huh. Yeah.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: So they're devastating and they're considering legal action.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: So it's a battle of the pickles. Don't pickles all
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: look the same?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Well, no, this is a very distinctive, very strong muscular pickle.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: This is a pickle that's like on steroids. This is
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: a strong standing pickle as well. What this is special?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta check it out. Don't close the page
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: on see it. Yeah, I'll send it to you. Okay, yeah,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'll click on this, I'll send it over to you. Yeah,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: so it could have a pickle lawsuit.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: This is where I insert my my favorite fun fact
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: about Disney logos. When Disney started, Walt Disney was like
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: a regular dude, you know, kind of a regular dude,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: and you know, you want to make some money and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: all that didn't price gouge everybody. But they actually lent
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the Donald Duck logo to Oregon, and so Oregon they
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: couldn't make any money off it, but their logo, the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: original Oregon Duck logo was Donald Duck, which they borrowed.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Disney allowed him. Walt Disney and the animation people allowed him.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: And then, as we pointed out a couple of years back,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the Arizona State Sun Devil original logo was written by
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: a Disney artist, I guess a former Disney artist, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: it was its Actually the Sun Devil logos is Walt
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Disney's face, the original Sun Devil logo. Fun fact, that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: is a fun fact. Straight ahead, we are going to
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: have Mallard of a third degree. But time now, time
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: now for the always popular and man is so insanely popular,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: it's amazing. The Insta trivia, so here is the Insta trivia.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Go back to Luca one more time.

  Speaker 2: He's the second player in NBA history to have a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: triple double four and against the same team in the
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: same season. Joining Blank again, Luca became the second player
• 32:06

  Speaker 2: This is one big geoboo.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Well, the Falcons.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Jam Or mains adamant that the team is comfortable keeping
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins as their backup. Most NFL reporters believe the
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Falcons will cut Cousins. One recent report has them parting
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: ways before Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah, Ben, do you think
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Cousins hits the market soon? Well, what's your definition of soon?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I think the deadline is March seventeenth, which is isn't
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: that Saint Patty's Day? March seventeenth, So yeah, that's he's
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: done by then. What's the point of keeping him. You
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to he can't play. They don't think he
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: can play anymore, and he's just going to be a distraction.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're going to release him.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: By March seventeenth, they'll be on the Cleveland Browns and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: that'll be that. I'd be stunned if Atlanta can say
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: that they're comfortable keeping him.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But there's no reason to keep him.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: They've got his replacement and let him go somewhere else.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Next, the Pistons are in the midst of a seven
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: game win streak because they continue to get stellar performances
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: from Cad Cunningham. But how high do you think the
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Pistons can continue to climb in the East.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't really matter what they do in the
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: regular season. It's all about the playoffs, and they look
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: like a second round and out team in the playoffs.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: That said, I did watch the P's Clippers game. I
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: watched the other day. I watched the Pistons feed. Do
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you know who George Blaha is? This guy has been
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: calling Pistons games coop since the Bad Boys days and.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: He's still there.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: He's got to be like the last of them with
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: hegans like the last old school NBA brought it all.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: The other ones are dead now other than George Blaja
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: with the Pistons, So I hope they do well. I
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: like George blah I like these old broadcasting guys all right. Next,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Mike Trapp won't.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Be the only one moving to a new position on
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: the field this season. Yeah, because Altuve will be moved
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: from second base to left field. Now, Toovey has never
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: started a game at a position other than second ben,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: How do you think this will go for al twove in.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: The as So?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I know this coop because I played little league baseball.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: You put your worst players in the outfield, right so
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: they the Astros are moving al to me to the
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: outfield because that he's an older player. These numbers have
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: gone down. He's showing signs of regression, so he'll be fine.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But you know, the Astros are going nowhere and.
• 37:54
