- 2:17Speaker 1: a little bit late on that, and it is scheduled,
- 2:20Speaker 1: although I don't think coops even in the building. But
- 2:22Speaker 1: we are supposed to have an octagon. We're supposed to
- 2:25Speaker 1: have the verbal octagon in about twenty minutes or so.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Verbal Octagon, which is one of the great events in
- 2:33Speaker 1: talk radio. It's verbal warfare, is what it is. And
- 2:37Speaker 1: the topic of conversation in the verbal octagon will be
- 2:41Speaker 1: the national championship game in collegiate football, which will be
- 2:45Speaker 1: played on Monday. As Notre Dame. We'll take on Ohio State,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and we will have a passionate We are scheduled to
- 2:53Speaker 1: have a passionate Notre Dame fan versus an Ohio State
- 2:58Speaker 1: Buck Guy supporter, and they will go at each other
- 3:01Speaker 1: to decide who will end up winning the national Championship
- 3:06Speaker 1: of College Wall and the person that wins this, their
- 3:08Speaker 1: team will end up winning. I just want to get
- 3:10Speaker 1: that on the record. But our lead this hour, play
- 3:13Speaker 1: the head small man, play the hits. We'll go to
- 3:15Speaker 1: the coaching carousel. Mike McCarthy finished up his job interview
- 3:22Speaker 1: in Chicago. His old team. They're still fusing around. They're
- 3:27Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on, what they want
- 3:29Speaker 1: to do. So we'll make a pitch stop in Jerry's world.
- 3:33Speaker 1: We're gonna stop in Jerry's world our obligatory malle monologue
- 3:36Speaker 1: about the life and times of the Cowboys as they
- 3:39Speaker 1: attempt to find their new head coach. So if you're
- 3:44Speaker 1: not up to date on it this, we're gonna talk
- 3:46Speaker 1: about it till they hire a coach, and then we'll
- 3:47Speaker 1: still talk about it after they do that. But if
- 3:50Speaker 1: you haven't been paying attention, let me give you the
- 3:51Speaker 1: condensed recap. 't give you the condensed recap. So we
- 3:55Speaker 1: have learned that conversations between the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
- 4:01Speaker 1: and Dion Sanders regarding the job opening, which has even
- 4:06Speaker 1: been posted. I don't know if it's been posted. You
- 4:08Speaker 1: have to post these jobs after McCarthy exident. Are the
- 4:13Speaker 1: latest reporting is are They're expected to continued talking talk talk, talk, talk, talk,
- 4:20Speaker 1: a lot of talking. They did speak supposedly earlier this week.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Dion Sanders commented on it. Sanders admitted that the Cowboy
- 4:30Speaker 1: job is intriguing, intriguing, and it was truly delightful to
- 4:35Speaker 1: hear from Jerry Jones. And he believes in Jerry Jones.
- 4:38Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, Dion Sanders. Jerry Jones
- 4:43Speaker 1: expected to continue having talks about the Cowboy head coaching job.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Where do you see this going? Where do you see
- 4:51Speaker 1: this one going? So I've got heroin, Junkie, Jerry Mandering,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and the joker, and we will combine all of these
- 5:01Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make an overpriced
- 5:04Speaker 1: pizza is what we're going to make. Yeah. I sent
- 5:07Speaker 1: to our friend Lorena a story that her favorite pizza
- 5:11Speaker 1: place is the most expensive pizza place in the country.
- 5:14Speaker 1: She got very defensive about her favorite pizza place. We'll
- 5:17Speaker 1: talk more about that later, but ay, let's start with this.
- 5:20Speaker 1: As far as the question, Dion Sanders over here, Jerry
- 5:23Speaker 1: Jones over here, and they're continuing to talk. So where
- 5:27Speaker 1: is this going? So it is a trip to the
- 5:30Speaker 1: dance club. You don't think of Jerry Jones in his
- 5:33Speaker 1: eighties as a dancer or Dion Sanders at his age
- 5:36Speaker 1: as a dancer. But here we are. They're doing the
- 5:39Speaker 1: mating dance very public, playing it out for the cameras
- 5:42Speaker 1: and the microphones and for public consumption. The Cowboys think
- 5:46Speaker 1: about this. They are not even in the Plus, they
- 5:48Speaker 1: didn't qualify for the Plus, a bad year in Dallas,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and they are the talk of the NFL. They're getting
- 5:53Speaker 1: more attention than the teams that are actually in the postseason. Right.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Jerry Jones smiling from ear to ear about this. He
- 6:04Speaker 1: cannot get enough of the spot. We know that he's
- 6:08Speaker 1: he's kind of like a heroin Junkie Jerry when it
- 6:12Speaker 1: comes to attention, and it's like shooting up for a
- 6:14Speaker 1: heroin Junkie Jerry Jones. He gets that attention into his
- 6:18Speaker 1: veins right right, pump it right into the veins, and
- 6:21Speaker 1: it is at narcotic. When you're Jerry, you need it.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It's good for business. You're addicted to the attention, and
- 6:28Speaker 1: people like me who look for things to talk about,
- 6:30Speaker 1: give you the attention. We give you the attention. Now
- 6:34Speaker 1: for his part, keeping mind Deon Sanders, he likes the
- 6:38Speaker 1: attention too. He's got a reality show and all that.
- 6:40Speaker 1: It's good for business. The fact that the Cowboys are
- 6:43Speaker 1: trying to woo you. They're trying to woo you the
- 6:46Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, right, so that's kind of an interesting dynamic.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So you look at Dowan. He's over there in the corner,
- 6:52Speaker 1: fluttering his eyes, kind of playing along with everything. In
- 6:55Speaker 1: his comments. We analyze the comments the other day, but
- 6:58Speaker 1: in the comments this week, Dion Sanders, he did not well.
- 7:02Speaker 1: He said he loves Colorado. He did not specifically say no,
- 7:06Speaker 1: he's not interested in coaching the Dallas Cowboys. Didn't say that.
- 7:09Speaker 1: He just talked about how much he loves coaching Colorado.
- 7:13Speaker 1: And even if he had said he wasn't interesting in
- 7:16Speaker 1: the interested in the Cawbo jet, we wouldn't believe him,
- 7:18Speaker 1: because the coach coaches ly all the time. All right, Now,
- 7:20Speaker 1: Page two. So Dion Sanders' former teammate, The Moose, Daryl Johnston,
- 7:26Speaker 1: did an interview recently is a longtime TV broadcaster. He
- 7:30Speaker 1: said the chances of Dion chances of Dion heading to
- 7:36Speaker 1: the Lone Star State are quote legit. However, the former
- 7:41Speaker 1: teammate of Dion Sanders, Darrow Moose Johnston said that essentially
- 7:46Speaker 1: Dion has to give up his plan to coach his son.
- 7:50Speaker 1: If he's willing to go to the NFL, he has
- 7:52Speaker 1: to give that up. What do you make of this?
- 7:55Speaker 1: So that is what's known as an observation, That is
- 7:59Speaker 1: an object I could I could say the opposite and
- 8:02Speaker 1: will I will lay out a map, I will plan
- 8:06Speaker 1: everything out here. Dean Sanders does not have to say
- 8:10Speaker 1: I will not coach my son in the NFL. If
- 8:12Speaker 1: that's what he wants to do, and Jerry Jones is
- 8:14Speaker 1: on board with it, we're done. There is a blueprint
- 8:18Speaker 1: that has been used in the past, not to this degree,
- 8:21Speaker 1: but there is a scenario where coach Pram coach Prime
- 8:26Speaker 1: turns to something in the political world called Jerry mannering, Yeah,
- 8:30Speaker 1: you rig the draft in your favorite No. I hate
- 8:32Speaker 1: when this happens, but it does happen. The most famous
- 8:36Speaker 1: example in I say recent times, although it was a
- 8:39Speaker 1: generation to go, Archie Manning, the leader of the Manning clan,
- 8:44Speaker 1: the royal family of the NFL, manipulated the draft because
- 8:49Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers were going to draft Eli Manning
- 8:54Speaker 1: and Archie said no, never, no, and they made him
- 8:59Speaker 1: go to the And he was a five hundred quarterback
- 9:02Speaker 1: for the Giants. But he don't want to play in
- 9:03Speaker 1: San Diego. Too far away on the West coast, stay
- 9:05Speaker 1: away from that. So primetime he can pull similar strings
- 9:11Speaker 1: on the puppet. And how would that work. Let's examine that.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So there's a couple of ways this would work. You've
- 9:17Speaker 1: got Shader Sanders, the kid who would have to rock
- 9:21Speaker 1: the boat. I have to rock the boat a little bit,
- 9:23Speaker 1: maybe show up late to some meetings, get out of shape,
- 9:27Speaker 1: bad workouts, gain a few pounds, that kind of thing.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So that's the first part of it. Dion would then
- 9:34Speaker 1: have to make some phone calls or send some text message.
- 9:38Speaker 1: All the text messages leave a paper trail, so you
- 9:40Speaker 1: probably should just make phone calls and assume they're not
- 9:43Speaker 1: being recorded. But Dallas has to find a willing partner
- 9:47Speaker 1: to take the dead weight off their hands, known as
- 9:49Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So while the Cowboy fans who listened to show,
- 9:54Speaker 1: some of you have reached out to me and sent
- 9:55Speaker 1: me emails because you know, I'm obsessed with his story
- 9:57Speaker 1: and I keep talking about you know, like about Diona
- 10:02Speaker 1: if he can coach in the NFL. And but if
- 10:04Speaker 1: you got rid of Dak, that would be a good thing,
- 10:06Speaker 1: right we could all agree on that he's been holding
- 10:08Speaker 1: the Cowboys hostage for several years. He's the stat Bandita,
- 10:13Speaker 1: Dakota Prescott, and it's a bit of a mirage, the
- 10:18Speaker 1: whole thing. He got paid a lot of money. Good
- 10:20Speaker 1: for him, but he is he's holding you back, Dak Prescott.
- 10:25Speaker 1: He is, And if you get rid of him. I
- 10:27Speaker 1: don't know whether Shooder Sanders can play or not. I
- 10:30Speaker 1: know that his dad thinks he can play, of course,
- 10:33Speaker 1: but we know that Dak, who his superpower is getting
- 10:37Speaker 1: hurt and putting up empty numbers. That is what he's
- 10:39Speaker 1: good at. And you can find a sucker. Would the
- 10:43Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans make a trade? Would they trade the number
- 10:46Speaker 1: one pick? If the Cowboys sent Dak Prescott and two
- 10:50Speaker 1: number one picks to Tennessee. Would they make that transaction?
- 10:54Speaker 1: All right? Now, last word, if not coach Prime. If
- 10:58Speaker 1: not Coach Prime, who else is in the mix? Well,
- 11:02Speaker 1: we are also hearing that the Cowboys have set up
- 11:06Speaker 1: a couple of conversations. We're not sure if these are
- 11:09Speaker 1: face to face or zoom interviews, but the Cowboys are
- 11:14Speaker 1: going to chat with former Jets coach Robert Salah. Yeah,
- 11:20Speaker 1: Robert Sala also on the wish list for a chit chat.
- 11:25Speaker 1: This is talking about off the grid here. Dallas has
- 11:28Speaker 1: officially requested a meet and greet with Seattle Seahawks assistant
- 11:34Speaker 1: coach Leslie Fraser down. Gows Fraser down, gows Fraser down
- 11:41Speaker 1: to the Dallas Now, Fraser was a head coach, not
- 11:44Speaker 1: a good one in Minnesota. And so why why is
- 11:49Speaker 1: Jerry Jones planning to chat with Leslie Fraser and Robert
- 11:54Speaker 1: Sala when he's clearly fixated on Dion Sanders about the
- 11:58Speaker 1: Cowboy job? So what is this all about about? So
- 12:01Speaker 1: the popular theory by popular people is he's just doing
- 12:03Speaker 1: his due diligence. That's all Jerry's up to. He's got
- 12:06Speaker 1: to have a contingency plan, all that nonsense. But at
- 12:10Speaker 1: this point based on side by side comparisons. You're gonna
- 12:16Speaker 1: try to sell Leslie Fraser or Robert Salah compared to
- 12:20Speaker 1: Dion Sander. That doesn't work. And you'd rather take your
- 12:23Speaker 1: chances and find blind luck with Dion Sanders rather than
- 12:28Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get with Salah and Leslie Fraser.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That's not good. And even the carnival barking skills. Now,
- 12:36Speaker 1: the Cowboys will get great ratings and people watching no
- 12:38Speaker 1: matter who the coach is. But that's a tough sell
- 12:41Speaker 1: to the base. That is a tough sell for Jerry Jones,
- 12:43Speaker 1: even as a carnival barker. Jerry Jones gonna have a
- 12:46Speaker 1: problem selling selling either of those guys. Neither one of
- 12:50Speaker 1: them can get the head coaching job. Maybe one of
- 12:52Speaker 1: them would become the new defensive guru in Dallas, but
- 12:57Speaker 1: these guys would suck the air right out of the room. Man,
- 13:00Speaker 1: the team would suck on the field, and all that.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Fraser is sixty five, he failed as an NFL he coach.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Robert sala is younger, but he failed as an NFL
- 13:08Speaker 1: head coach, and he's a big talker. That's the guy
- 13:12Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on he's got the gift
- 13:15Speaker 1: of gab Robert Salah and he has no business being
- 13:19Speaker 1: a head coach this year. Should have to take a
- 13:21Speaker 1: step back based on how bad he was with the Jets.
- 13:24Speaker 1: But if he gets into the room and the owners,
- 13:29Speaker 1: you know, had a couple of cocktails or something like that,
- 13:31Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Robert Salah is a legitimate actor
- 13:35Speaker 1: in the play. Now if Dion says no. If he
- 13:39Speaker 1: says no, and in the real world, my world, there's
- 13:43Speaker 1: no way Robert Salow or Leslie Fraser get the Cowboys
- 13:48Speaker 1: jup clearly. So you've got to go to the deck
- 13:51Speaker 1: of cards and you've got to pull out the joker.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So who's another relatively big name that you can get?
- 13:57Speaker 1: And John Gruden's on that he's got a he'd have
- 14:00Speaker 1: to stop his lawsuit against the NFL for that to happen.
- 14:03Speaker 1: But John Gruden and Jerry Jones would be interesting. And
- 14:08Speaker 1: the other name, and this would help out the University
- 14:12Speaker 1: of Southern California, would be Lincoln Riley, who's got ties
- 14:16Speaker 1: to Jerry Jones family and there is a connection there.
- 14:19Speaker 1: And Lincoln Riley is drowning as the coach of the
- 14:23Speaker 1: Trojans in southern California. But he does have all these
- 14:26Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winners that he coached at Oklahoma and sc
- 14:31Speaker 1: on his resume.

- 15:42Speaker 1: big fans of the number ten thousand. So our Lee
- 15:44Speaker 1: Miss hourd begin is from the fallout from a playoff elimination.
- 15:52Speaker 1: We spent a lot of valuable talk radio real estate
- 15:55Speaker 1: this week talking about the Steelers, a couple of stories
- 15:59Speaker 1: out of Pitts. We have not spent much time talking
- 16:01Speaker 1: about the team in Los Angeles that also has been
- 16:06Speaker 1: exterminated from the playoffs. And our lead this hour is
- 16:09Speaker 1: from LA the eulogy of the twenty twenty four Chargers,
- 16:15Speaker 1: who finished their season with a dud and out of
- 16:18Speaker 1: whack performance in Houston. Much of the focus on that
- 16:23Speaker 1: play was from the quarterback of the LA football team. Now,
- 16:26Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh addressed the HeLa monster.
- 16:30Speaker 2: In the room.
- 16:31Speaker 1: If you did not hear what he had to say,
- 16:32Speaker 1: we have some audio we're going to play for you.
- 16:35Speaker 1: So Jim Harbaugh said that the criticism of Justin Herbert,
- 16:39Speaker 1: his quarterback, unwarranted, unwarranted, and well, rather leant me tell
- 16:45Speaker 1: you what he said. Let's go to the audio tape.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Here's Jim harbaugh My responsibility.
- 16:49Speaker 3: We did not put him in We did him in
- 16:51Speaker 3: disservice and didn't put him in the positions to be
- 16:55Speaker 3: successful enough. But he played like a beast. I mean,
- 16:58Speaker 3: there's nobody and that was your question, how do I
- 17:01Speaker 3: think he played? After watching the tape, you know I
- 17:05Speaker 3: second that double down on that statement. There's nobody, there's
- 17:09Speaker 3: nobody in this entire organization who gives more blood, sweat
- 17:14Speaker 3: and tears and contributes more, produces more for the entire
- 17:18Speaker 3: organization than Justin Herbert.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Okay, well, I think you missed a spot. All right,
- 17:24Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh,
- 17:29Speaker 1: as you just heard, says Justin Herbert's criticism there, but say,
- 17:32Speaker 1: just as I said it was unfair, he actually did
- 17:33Speaker 1: say the words unfair at one point. Does Herbert deserve
- 17:38Speaker 1: a pardon? Does he deserve a pardon for his playoff
- 17:41Speaker 1: performance or lack thereof playoff performance? So I have Hurricane
- 17:46Speaker 1: Penguin and seven to eleven, and we will combine all
- 17:50Speaker 1: of these things together, and we are going to make
- 17:53Speaker 1: a moneyball, something the Clippers made a lot of when
- 17:55Speaker 1: they won their basketball game by fifty nine points. That's
- 17:58Speaker 1: a real professional sports game where one team was fifty
- 18:01Speaker 1: nine points better than the other team. All right, So
- 18:04Speaker 1: to answer the question, Jim Harball making the statement it's unfair, criticism,
- 18:09Speaker 1: completely unfair and all that. Does Herbert deserve a pardon?
- 18:14Speaker 1: Absolutely not. There are no pardons handed out and we
- 18:19Speaker 1: get that. Jim Harbaugh has to say this stuff. He's
- 18:22Speaker 1: a rider die coach. He likes to say, who has
- 18:24Speaker 1: it better than us? Well, the answer, who has it
- 18:26Speaker 1: better than us? That would be the Houston Texans, that
- 18:29Speaker 1: would be every other team alive in the divisional round
- 18:32Speaker 1: or the playoffs. And he's standing by his man. I
- 18:35Speaker 1: understand that's how it works. And you've got to play
- 18:38Speaker 1: the role. And if he had said something, to imagine
- 18:40Speaker 1: if Jim Harbur said, oh, yeah, he sucked. He was
- 18:42Speaker 1: terrible Justin Herbert. It's almost like he had an infestation
- 18:49Speaker 1: of maggots all over his body. He was that bad. Now,
- 18:52Speaker 1: that would be a story. But instead he whispered sweet
- 18:55Speaker 1: nothings into his quarterback's ears here and he regularly rhapsodizes
- 19:01Speaker 1: about his quarterback most coaches do. He goes next level,
- 19:06Speaker 1: goes next level, Jim Harble. However, the real ones know
- 19:10Speaker 1: right that was not only a quarterback. That was a
- 19:14Speaker 1: fu bar performance, a fu bar performance from the aforementioned
- 19:22Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He's in the high Rent district watching him
- 19:26Speaker 1: play against the Texans. It was like watching during a
- 19:30Speaker 1: hurricane and the Levy breaks. Okay, two playoff games. Two
- 19:36Speaker 1: playoff games, one of the great choke jobs of all
- 19:39Speaker 1: time against Jacksonville when you had a what twenty seven
- 19:41Speaker 1: point lead, I believe in that game something along those lines.
- 19:44Speaker 1: You blew that lead. And now you became the first
- 19:48Speaker 1: quarterback in the modern NFL, the first one in the
- 19:51Speaker 1: modern NFL to have more interceptions in a playoff than
- 19:57Speaker 1: you did during the regular season. An abysmal failure. So yeah,
- 20:03Speaker 1: I'm not giving out pardons and none of that, and
- 20:07Speaker 1: I have no skin in the game. I'm just calling
- 20:09Speaker 1: it like it is here. And when you're the franchise
- 20:12Speaker 1: quarterback and you've got the two hundred and sixty million
- 20:14Speaker 1: dollar contract, you got to do better. You got to
- 20:17Speaker 1: be better. And there's no excuse for that. And not
- 20:20Speaker 1: all of those interceptions were on Justin Herbert, but at
- 20:22Speaker 1: least two of them were pathetic, pathetic throws by Justin Herbert.
- 20:28Speaker 1: And the Chargers in Houston had a chance to come
- 20:30Speaker 1: out and jump all over the Texas because of some
- 20:33Speaker 1: mistakes by Houston in the first quarter and they were
- 20:36Speaker 1: only up six to nothing, got a couple of Measley
- 20:39Speaker 1: field goals in that game. All right, now, pitched you
- 20:41Speaker 1: so Jim Harball has also announced that he is well.
- 20:46Speaker 1: He's not gonna retire, but he's had some medical problems.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Not gonna retire. Instead, he's going to have a lot
- 20:51Speaker 1: of visits to hospitals, a lot of visits to doctors
- 20:54Speaker 1: over the next couple of weeks, the next couple of months,
- 20:57Speaker 1: Harball set to undergo surgery and hip replacement surgery. Say what,
- 21:04Speaker 1: remember there was that incident early in the football season
- 21:08Speaker 1: where Jim Harbaugh had a heart heart beat that was
- 21:11Speaker 1: a little off. Remember that. Yeah, so that happened, and
- 21:16Speaker 1: the hip thing's been a deal. So Jim Harbaugh said
- 21:18Speaker 1: to have a heart procedure and hip surgery. How does
- 21:23Speaker 1: that one hit you? Well, it's gonna hit him worse
- 21:26Speaker 1: than it's going to hit me. But we wish a
- 21:28Speaker 1: good good thoughts to Jim Harbaugh. Here the heart conditions
- 21:32Speaker 1: just scares her. Right, that's kind of the big deal.
- 21:34Speaker 1: That's seeing you get the two big things. You get
- 21:36Speaker 1: the brain over here, you get the heart over here.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Those are the big ones, right, those are the big
- 21:39Speaker 1: ones that you need. And so he's really going to
- 21:42Speaker 1: the app store. It's like, you need to update the app.
- 21:46Speaker 1: You got to fix the bug problems there, performance enhancements,
- 21:49Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So that's what he's he's doing here,
- 21:52Speaker 1: and it does seem like a big deal though now
- 21:55Speaker 1: they claim this is a common procedure that's gonna be
- 21:57Speaker 1: done on the guy's heart, but it seems like a
- 22:00Speaker 1: like a big deal. You're messing with the big one, right,
- 22:02Speaker 1: the big gohouna there. So that's a problem. And as
- 22:05Speaker 1: for the rest, watching Jim Harball walk on the sideline,
- 22:09Speaker 1: So they show him on TV a lot because he's cartoonish.
- 22:12Speaker 1: When you watch Jim Harball walk around, he's got a
- 22:14Speaker 1: comical git to him. He does, and it's like going
- 22:19Speaker 1: to the San Diego Zoo and you're observing the penguins
- 22:24Speaker 1: wattle wattle waddle. The penguins are waddling. That's how Jim
- 22:28Speaker 1: Harball walks side to side. Be very painful. I know
- 22:34Speaker 1: a couple people that had it. The one of the
- 22:37Speaker 1: people he's dead now, but Tommy Lasorda he had it.
- 22:41Speaker 1: He had both of his hips replaced and I think
- 22:43Speaker 1: his knees replaced when he was you know, obviously I'm
- 22:46Speaker 1: not managing. He managed to Dodgers, but he said that
- 22:48Speaker 1: was the most pain he had ever had in his
- 22:51Speaker 1: life was hip replacement surgery. It a message, and it
- 22:54Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee you're gonna be able to walk perfectly. Now
- 22:58Speaker 1: supposedly it's improved and all that, but it's it is
- 23:01Speaker 1: a pain in the hip, not the tuks because the hip,
- 23:07Speaker 1: even though the hip kind of goes up to the tuckish.
- 23:09Speaker 1: But it's a pain in the hip, is what it is.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Final point. So we now stop over to Cleveland. Why
- 23:16Speaker 1: do we stop in Cleveland because there's some new reporting
- 23:19Speaker 1: out that goes into great detail after the fact. Mind you,
- 23:23Speaker 1: this is after the fact reporting. This was not reported
- 23:26Speaker 1: while it was happening, but after the season. Loose lips
- 23:29Speaker 1: sink football ships and so the report behind a paywall
- 23:34Speaker 1: of the Old Gray Lady, otherwise known as the Athletic,
- 23:38Speaker 1: the report says, the atmosphere in the Browns facility, the
- 23:44Speaker 1: Browns locker room has become had become much more positive,
- 23:49Speaker 1: much more positive. The atmosphere there after Deshaun Watson tore
- 23:55Speaker 1: his achilles. He shredded his achilles. That was on October twentieth,
- 24:00Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before Halloween, when he stopped playing
- 24:03Speaker 1: the storm Cloud had been lifted over the Browns facility.
- 24:09Speaker 1: So that's the report. Let us discuss the question. He
- 24:15Speaker 1: talked that Deshaun Watson, his injury led to a different
- 24:20Speaker 1: type of energy in the Browns facility. Can you decipher?
- 24:27Speaker 1: Can you decipher what that really means? Yes, of Corsey,
- 24:31Speaker 1: we have all the answer. I got a microphone, I
- 24:33Speaker 1: got headphones, we got all the answers. So this is
- 24:36Speaker 1: really a referendum on Kevin Stefanski. Now, Stefanski kept his job.
- 24:40Speaker 1: He's the coach in Cleveland, and there was talk he
- 24:42Speaker 1: was on the hot seat. Stefanski's gonna return as coach
- 24:44Speaker 1: of the Browns. But this is an indictment of Stefanski
- 24:49Speaker 1: that the Brown's coach treated Deshaun Watson to non stop spongebass. Yeah.
- 24:57Speaker 1: He just got a lot of soap, the soapy hot
- 25:00Speaker 1: water and a sponge and rubbert dub dub. Oh. Yeah,
- 25:04Speaker 1: I had a little yellow rubber ducky, yellow rubber ducky
- 25:09Speaker 1: in the tub and he gave him a nice big spongeback.
- 25:13Speaker 1: The other thought, here, we're hearing that Stefanski would regularly
- 25:16Speaker 1: not only dig him the spongebat, he would go down
- 25:19Speaker 1: to seven to eleven and he'd hand Watson a slurpee.
- 25:24Speaker 1: It was a slurpfest in team meetings. So I don't
- 25:27Speaker 1: mean you know this, but apparently Watson's not good at
- 25:30Speaker 1: his job as a quarterback. The creepy quarterback, Deshaun Watson
- 25:33Speaker 1: would regularly make many mistakes. But we are told based
- 25:38Speaker 1: on this report, during team meetings, Kevin Stefanski, the head coach,
- 25:43Speaker 1: would not acknowledge the obvious mistakes that the other players recognized,
- 25:47Speaker 1: like that's a mistake, that's a mistake, that's a mistake
- 25:49Speaker 1: that and he wouldn't talk about that. Why Deshaun Watson
- 25:55Speaker 1: not only does he have a ton of money, but
- 25:56Speaker 1: he also has to be coddled and pampered. I demanded
- 26:01Speaker 1: to be peppered. That's possibly what he said. I wasn't there.
- 26:06Speaker 1: He might have gone up to Stefanskin and said, cottle'
- 26:08Speaker 1: cotta quaddle, I need to be coddled. That could have
- 26:11Speaker 1: been said. But either way, thin skin, which is not surprising.
- 26:15Speaker 1: We knew about this years ago when Deshaun Watson was
- 26:20Speaker 1: leaving Clemson, the famous story. Those of you that have
- 26:22Speaker 1: been with the show a long time, No, there was
- 26:25Speaker 1: a social media Donnie Brook a brew haha. That took
- 26:30Speaker 1: place between yours truly and Deshaun Watson, who was laying
- 26:37Speaker 1: it on. I was watching I was watching something, and
- 26:39Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was like, oh, I've overcome the odds and
- 26:41Speaker 1: all this. You know, he was like a five star recruit.
- 26:43Speaker 1: He had offered some all these power schools, and he
- 26:47Speaker 1: wanted to make it seem like he you know, he
- 26:49Speaker 1: was like an unrecruited player going to college and all that.
- 26:53Speaker 1: So I called him on his bull crap. He got upset.
- 26:57Speaker 1: He blocked me because of stuff I said on this
- 26:59Speaker 1: radio show, which is fine whatever, and I didn't like
- 27:04Speaker 1: tag him in any He was searching his name out
- 27:07Speaker 1: and he saw some of the stuff I had said
- 27:09Speaker 1: on monologues got all upset. So we knew going back
- 27:12Speaker 1: to his days out of Clemson he was a he
- 27:13Speaker 1: was a weenie. We knew that, and he never got criticized.
- 27:18Speaker 1: And so now the reporting is, once Watson got hurt,
- 27:20Speaker 1: Stefanski would put a highlighter on how bad Jamis Winston
- 27:25Speaker 1: was playing and the other Browns quarterbacks, and so it
- 27:29Speaker 1: just didn't play well in the locker room, didn't play well.
- 27:32Speaker 1: The Browns invested not one, not two, but three first
- 27:36Speaker 1: round picks, and they ganteed two hundred and thirty million
- 27:42Speaker 1: dollars and what they got was a cream puff. They
- 27:47Speaker 1: got their own cream puff to play quarterback. And the creampuff.
- 27:51Speaker 1: You can pose the cream puff in the Happy Baby
- 27:54Speaker 1: Yoga pos. You can put the creampuff down there in
- 27:57Speaker 1: the Happy Baby Yoga post.

- 28:17Speaker 2: one big event gets grailled Google.
- 28:20Speaker 4: In a recent episode of the in season Hard Knocks,
- 28:23Speaker 4: Miles Garrett said that he had talked to Brown's GM,
- 28:26Speaker 4: the Browns GM, and went on to say, we're closer
- 28:29Speaker 4: than some may think we are. Now, Ben, do you
- 28:31Speaker 4: think this squashes any chance of a trade request from
- 28:34Speaker 4: Miles Garrett?
- 28:36Speaker 1: Well, publicly, he's not gonna do that because he's beloved
- 28:38Speaker 1: in Cleveland. So he's trying to be Paullyhannish, right, he's
- 28:42Speaker 1: optimistic things are going to be better in Cleveland. Then, yeah,
- 28:45Speaker 1: don't don't hold your brother. Rids me of Joe Thomas.
- 28:48Speaker 1: This is not gonna be one of those made for
- 28:50Speaker 1: TV movies. You're gonna play in Cleveland. You'll make the
- 28:53Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of times, you won't win anything, and
- 28:56Speaker 1: you'll retire and that'll be that. So it's not off
- 29:00Speaker 1: the table because teams are gonna call the Browns and
- 29:02Speaker 1: try to trade for Miles Garrett. So it's up to
- 29:04Speaker 1: the Browns to decide where they want to do next.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Now, the only truly competitive game over wild Card weekend
- 29:09Speaker 4: was the Bucks and Commanders. Many are saying that this
- 29:12Speaker 4: proves that expanding to a fourteen team playoff was a
- 29:14Speaker 4: bad idea. Ben, Do you think this will give the
- 29:17Speaker 4: league pause when it comes to the idea of expanding
- 29:19Speaker 4: the playoffs even further?
- 29:20Speaker 1: Absolutely not, because, first of all, it's not about the
- 29:22Speaker 1: quality of the product. It's about getting people to watch.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And so even though these games were bad, these games
- 29:27Speaker 1: would be bad. People watch, and television wants.
- 29:30Speaker 5: More, more and more and more and more and more,
- 29:32Speaker 5: more and more and more and more and more more.
- 29:33Speaker 1: So as long as TV wants it, there'll be more
- 29:35Speaker 1: NFL games. They'll keep expanding because there's an audience there
- 29:39Speaker 1: and it's the only thing people watch live on TV
- 29:42Speaker 1: is sports Next?
- 29:43Speaker 4: The following Zion Williamson getting suspended by the Pelicans for
- 29:46Speaker 4: multiple instances of tardiness.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Steven A.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Smith said this week that Zion does not want to
- 29:50Speaker 4: be in New Orleans and he wants to be in
- 29:51Speaker 4: a major market like New York or La. Ben, do
- 29:54Speaker 4: you think this is Zion pushing for a trade?
- 29:57Speaker 1: It is inevitable. Zion is going to end up in
- 30:00Speaker 1: LA or New York and Dennis acoombo uh Giannis is
- 30:04Speaker 1: gonna end up in a bigger market. That's how the
- 30:06Speaker 1: NBA does business. They've always been that way. How did
- 30:09Speaker 1: we know you pass this? That is a way you
- 30:11Speaker 1: can put it on the board. I want, but right
- 30:14Speaker 1: now I'm on Winter. You're not impressed. I'm willing you.

- 31:03Speaker 4: Justin Cooper Kelly in Des Moines, Iowa slash Nashville is
- 31:11Speaker 4: not a nas slash.
- 31:12Speaker 1: She's in Iowa.
- 31:13Speaker 4: She's moved on from there. Yeah, she's never gonna go
- 31:15Speaker 4: back anyway. She would like to know. Do you need
- 31:17Speaker 4: to sleep with noise?
- 31:19Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, and sleeping doing the overnight shift and sleeping
- 31:23Speaker 1: during the day. I have to have blackout curtains, a
- 31:26Speaker 1: sleep mask, ear plug, I think, a whole like it's
- 31:30Speaker 1: like a catcher getting ready to go into a game
- 31:32Speaker 1: in baseball. You gotta have all the pads on and
- 31:34Speaker 1: all that. I definitely need white noise in the background.
- 31:38Speaker 1: And feel free to play the racist drop there, but
- 31:40Speaker 1: I need I definitely need some noise, the reef fan,
- 31:43Speaker 1: the air conditioning, something to cause. If not, I can't sleep.
- 31:48Speaker 1: What about you, Lorraina.
- 31:50Speaker 6: I just want to say that doesn't make sense. You
- 31:52Speaker 6: put in ear plugs, but you need white noise in
- 31:54Speaker 6: the background.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yes, I need both.
- 31:55Speaker 5: That makes no sense. I'm a diva, okay, whatever, Yes,
- 31:59Speaker 5: I all.
- 32:00Speaker 6: So I don't use any background noise.
- 32:03Speaker 5: But I use earplugs.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Well, the good thing is I have I have such
- 32:06Speaker 1: bad hearing in my right ear, I only need one earplug,
- 32:09Speaker 1: so I only need one, so I don't really use two.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I use one because I naturally my hearing is blocked
- 32:14Speaker 1: in my right ear, so I don't need to worry
- 32:16Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, cool, So I don't.
- 32:19Speaker 4: I don't use the ear plugs, although I have in
- 32:22Speaker 4: the past, but I do have my My alarm clock
- 32:27Speaker 4: right next to my bed has different sounds, and I
- 32:30Speaker 4: use the rain sound and I put that up pretty loudly.
- 32:33Speaker 4: But you see, Lorena, you put the air ear plugs
- 32:36Speaker 4: in and the sound machine. That way, the only sound
- 32:41Speaker 4: that's leaking through is the sound machine. Yeah, nothing else.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Hear anything else.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It's the daily double, yes, you know, because just sleeping
- 32:49Speaker 1: during the day, the gardener's doing stuff. People are driving by.
- 32:52Speaker 2: You know.
- 32:52Speaker 1: It's a pin of the as so they don't worry
- 32:54Speaker 1: about us anyway. What's next year is ask Ben? Your
- 32:57Speaker 1: questions are answers.
- 32:59Speaker 4: So the rest of the hour, Dante would like to know. Hi, Dante,
- 33:02Speaker 4: what's a popular movie that you've never seen?
- 33:06Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lot. I mean I haven't regularly gone
- 33:09Speaker 1: to the movies in many I'm trying to think off
- 33:13Speaker 1: the top of my head, though I don't name some
- 33:15Speaker 1: movies Coop that like.
- 33:16Speaker 4: What's like, let's change it, like a classic popular movie,
- 33:19Speaker 4: like one that's just you know, like Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
- 33:22Speaker 5: You know, something like that that you haven't seen.
- 33:25Speaker 1: No, I've seen most of the like the real popular ones,
- 33:27Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's some I'm not thinking right now
- 33:30Speaker 1: at the top. What was that Mel Gibson movie that
- 33:33Speaker 1: was pretty popular? Religious one Passionate.
- 33:36Speaker 5: Passion crist never saw. I never saw that, well, I
- 33:38Speaker 5: mean I went with my church group to watch me Too.
- 33:44Speaker 1: There you go, lorren a movie.
- 33:47Speaker 6: I actually just watched one the other day. I know
- 33:48Speaker 6: it's not an older movie, but Dune, I know that
- 33:51Speaker 6: was a really popular movie and I just watched it.
- 33:54Speaker 5: Would you like it? I actually really did enjoy it.
- 33:56Speaker 5: It's a great movie.
- 33:57Speaker 6: I'm excited to watch the second.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Do you ever see Gremlins classic?
- 34:01Speaker 5: How weird are you? Just brought you haven't watched.
- 34:04Speaker 4: I watched Gremlins for the first time like like three
- 34:07Speaker 4: weeks ago.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Okay, I wanted to put it on in studio.
- 34:09Speaker 6: He's like, we can't watch that because I haven't actually
- 34:11Speaker 6: seen it.
- 34:13Speaker 1: You know, if they filmed it as part of it universal,
- 34:15Speaker 1: that would make sense. One of the opening scenes they
- 34:18Speaker 1: said was in that little square, the same square they
- 34:20Speaker 1: did Back to the Future. It's kind of cool. What's
- 34:22Speaker 1: the next year? It's asked.
- 34:24Speaker 4: I didn't answer, Oh, I'm so, I thought you said Gremlins.
- 34:26Speaker 4: I thought that was your I was just replying to
- 34:27Speaker 4: what I have seen Gremlins. Okay, all right, there's a
- 34:31Speaker 4: handful of them. But since we're on a sports talk
- 34:33Speaker 4: radio station, yeah, I will mention that I have never
- 34:36Speaker 4: seen Rocky.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Now Rocky There's Yeah, parts of it are good, some.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Of it's I think Stallone's like this the worst actor ever.
- 34:44Speaker 4: I just I can't. I don't understand how people watch
- 34:46Speaker 4: movies with him in it. He guy's own statue in
- 34:49Speaker 4: philadelph I know. It's just it's I don't. I don't
- 34:51Speaker 4: understand anyway. That's that's a whole other thing. I've never seen.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Caddy Shack never seen Caddy Shack.
- 34:56Speaker 1: What's wrong?
- 34:57Speaker 4: I know, never seen like Koosier's or or slap Shot,
- 35:02Speaker 4: But yeah, that's a well.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Eddie forced me to watch slap Shot. I hadn't you know,
- 35:07Speaker 1: I saw parts of it, but I watched years ago.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I watched it because of him. What is next? Ye?
- 35:11Speaker 5: Where do we have all right lady's sideburns.
- 35:14Speaker 1: The great lady's sideburns?
- 35:16Speaker 4: See this seems obvious to me, but I don't know.
- 35:18Speaker 4: He said, you've run out of toilet paper, Kleenex, and
- 35:21Speaker 4: the bidet is out of commission. How are you cleaning
- 35:24Speaker 4: that tush? Well, you go in the shower, right, Like,
- 35:28Speaker 4: what's that?
- 35:29Speaker 1: Seems kind of easy? Do you go out and get leaves?
- 35:32Speaker 1: Old school stuff?
- 35:35Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 35:35Speaker 5: I feel like that's kind of an obvious fun though.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Does anyone else have a different answer.
- 35:40Speaker 5: I'm trying to work my brain. I'm like, what else
- 35:42Speaker 5: could you do in this situation?
- 35:44Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't mention like like if the water's
- 35:46Speaker 4: off or something. You didn't mention paper towels, I guess.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Or they used to use actual though they used to
- 35:51Speaker 1: use actual towels, they would use towels. Yeah, I mean
- 35:54Speaker 1: you'd have to do that if the four paper towels.
- 35:57Speaker 6: Could you imagine the inside of your washing machine? Honey,
- 36:00Speaker 6: what's that.
- 36:01Speaker 5: Awesome poop smere from last night?
- 36:02Speaker 1: Honey? Just wipe it away?
- 36:04Speaker 5: Imagine if the washing machine is good enough, it would
- 36:07Speaker 5: not leave?
- 36:08Speaker 1: All right? What is chunks? Fird? Dog?
- 36:13Speaker 4: Asking the important questions here? Yeah, would you star in
- 36:16Speaker 4: a porno for one hundred thousand dollars?
- 36:20Speaker 1: Well, I would like to see the porno producer who
- 36:23Speaker 1: wants to hire me. But I would probably be a
- 36:27Speaker 1: little more than that.
