  Speaker 1: Mattingly the interim manager in the Delaware Valley? And can

• 3:44
  Speaker 1: This hour is the hour of Baseball Talk, and bay'small yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, nothing interrupting me at all. I watched a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: full night of baseball, including the Mets and Royals, Yankees
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and Rais. I was flipping around there, a little bit
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of this, a little bit of that, Dodgers, Rockies, a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of games. So our lead this hour, though, is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: from the Motor City, where the Motor City kiddies stole
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the baseball headlines in this news cycle. As Tiger's pitcher
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Justin Verlander making some news. If you didn't see this
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: or hear about it. Perhaps not. We learned that Verlander
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had been selected to the All Star Game. What what
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Yes, this is where Rob Manford man
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fraud is. It's the equivalent of the ghost Runner. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: let's everyone get one name in each league and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we'll have everyone kiss these people's ass, give them the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: old Hawk toua at the All Star Game. It's in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia this year. So Verlander was the selection by Rob
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Manford as a legend pick because he doesn't get his
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: ass kissed enough, so everyone will kiss his ass at
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game. Well, the surprise was the same
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: moment that was announced. Quickly after that, Verlanders said, Oh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, I'm done. I'm out, but I'm not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: leaving right now. I'm gonna wait till the end of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the season. Now this led to what do you think
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it led to? It led to a urinating situation. A
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: everyone's trying to compliment Verlander more than the other people,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like the baseball writers who are so far up, the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: brown nosers that love these guys. I just can't get
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it of it. So they were trying to Oh, Verlander's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: this great, He's that He's like, yeah, the baseball scrap
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is going back and forth. Al he's so good. Oh no,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna compliment it more. I like it more than
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you and that thing. It's like, what are you doing anyway?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So it went on and on, and Verlander the last
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of the great starting pitchers. I don't know. It seems
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like there's some decent starting pitchers now, although they don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: go very far into games anymore. But one of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: opinions that got my attention, and this is, I believe
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what we need to focus in on. So the popular
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: opinion is as this is the last hurrah for verlind
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It has been mostly hurt. It's a sticky situation, has
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: been hurt most of the year because he's old, washed up,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: can't play anymore. So of course he'll be at the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: All Star Game. So Verlander, the popular opinion is he's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: not only going to be a Hall of Famer, he's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer, Justin Verlander,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer. So I want you to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: chew on that for a second. I feel like that's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let's discuss the question does
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Tiger's pitcher Justin Verlander deserve to be a first ballot
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. So I've got mister carsh, Starbucks, and zombifide,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and we'll put all of these things together. All of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: them'll ring a bell, and we'll put them all together,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and we are going to crumble unless we don't under pressure.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I think we'll be okay. I think we'll be okay.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: All right, So number one, number one on I think
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the number one thing. There it is, okay, finally, there
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we go. I thought for a minute I was in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the twilights, all right, so number one, yeah. Yeah. My
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: reaction here to the question does Tiger's picture Justin Verlander
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: deserve to be a first ballot Hall of Famer is
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: can we please stop the boot licking Olympics? Can we
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: can we put a time out timeout on the boot
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: licking Olympics? Justin Verlander absolutely does not deserve to be
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Fame player. He does not
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: deserve that. Now. Was he a great pitcher for the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers. Absolutely absolutely. However, however, his legacy was supercharged
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: by joining who who do you think supercharged the legend
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of Verlander and put him over the hump something he
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: didn't do in Detroit ding Ding ding ding ding. The
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: stay it with me now, kids, The cheated one one
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: thousand and two one thousand, Oh, that was in twenty seventeen.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So what did they do in twenty seventeen? That's right? Oh,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I remember what they were doing in twenty seventeen. I do.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, is twenty twenty six? What are you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: talking about? Okay, they never got punished. Tatuo Limitations has
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not run out, and Cooperstown, at least for me on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this side of the microphone, Cooper'stown is not a mister
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: car wash. You don't roll in there covered in trash
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: can grease and come out sparkling Verlander, whether you like
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it or not, sullied his entire reputation. He rode that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: sign stealing scheme straight to a world series ring an
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: ALCSNVP and another cy Young. It's kind of like getting
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: straight A's It turns out that you stole someone else's homework,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: or if you're a singer, you lip synced. So without
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that tainted run where he was a part of it,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he's just another strong pitcher waiting his turn. Now I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: realize the Hall of fame has already embarrassed itself. It's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: all you humiliated itself. The baseball Riders have turned out
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to be total frauds, as they've allowed Carlos to cheater
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Beltron to get voted into Cooperstown. Like God forbid, they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: don't put Beltron in the Hall of Fame, even though
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he was a part of that cheating thing as well.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Now Verlander, he said, well he didn't bet mallor what
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: are you talking about, mallor calm down, put your pants on.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So Verlander benefited directly. Whether or not he was in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the batter's box hitting, it doesn't matter. He benefited directly
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: from the biggest scandal in modern baseball history, profiting from
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the systemic culture of crooked baseball in Houston. And if
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna let every cheating a hole in on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: first ballot, you might as well just bulldoze the Hall
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of Fame in Cooperstown and turn it into a scape room.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Just do it. He'll get in eventually, I wouldn't, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: put none of those guys in. He'll get in. Make
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: him wait, make him wait a little bit. And I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: just love the selective outrage that takes place among the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Baseball writers. Verlander was very good for the baseball writers
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and who votes for the Hall of Fame the Baseball writers.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He gave good quotes. He gave them from what I've heard,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: stuff behind the scenes, and so help them do their job.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: They'll scratch his back. He scratched theirs. That's the way
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it's gonna work. It shouldn't work that way. Should not
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be a first Battle Hall of Famer because he's associated
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: with the scum of the a holes. Now page two
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to fill Dell, we go the Delaware Valley where Jonathan
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and Delaware and Fry Daddy are very happy that the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Phillies have turned a miserable season around. They found a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: little magic, although so much magic last night per se
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: or did they? Donnie Baseball has had a change of heart.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Donnie Baseball, the interim manager Don Mattingly has expressed interest
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in taking the Philadelphia Phillies job full time. Yeah. Mattingly
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: said that he'd like to keep going. He took over
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: as the interim manager in late April for Rob Thompson,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and the Phillies were tied for the worst record in baseball.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: There were ten games under five hundred and with Mattingly.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The Phillies have the second best record in baseball since
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: he took over, and the turnaround has put Philadelphia right
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in the middle of that playoff race in the National
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: League with the upstart Marlins and others. So a lot
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of upstart situations going on there. So the question how
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: likely how likely is Don Mattingly to keep the Phillies
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: managerial gig? All right, So here's the deal. It's been
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a really cool story turnaround. They looked like they didn't
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: know what they were doing for a bunch of dopes
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the first couple weeks of the baseball season, and it's great. However,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, turnarounds are taxed at one hundred percent unless
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they come with a deep add on playoff runt, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it is a small sample size both ways. The start
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: at nine to nineteen was a small sample size. This
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: is a bigger sample size. It's still relatively small in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: terms of Don Mattingley's job security. It is tied directly
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to the month of October. And we all know, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and I know that Don Mattingly's fate will be decided
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: around the time Starbucks starts pumping out those pumpkin spice
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: lattes because Philly they only evaluate managers in the sweater weather,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and we're not at the sweater weather right now. So
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Mattingly's job interview is going to be the postseason. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: regular season is just the warm up back. This isn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: complicated the NLCS or the World Series. And you do
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that and you're likely back, like, the Dodgers should win
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: this thing. It's just a matter of how many games
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: are they gonna have to go seven games in every
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: series or whatever. Now, if Philly's upset the Dodgers or
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: something like that, well that certainly helps out. And Don's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: old team. He managed the Dodgers years ago, and so
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: anything less than the NLCS and the World Series. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he's copying Mike the Leprechaun, packing Hawaiian tropic sunscreen and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: looking for flights to Bora Bora is what he's doing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And Dave don Browski, who's from the Old Country, right,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He's from the Old Country. Don Browski, he doesn't do patience.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: He swaps managers like dura cel batteries is what he does.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: All right now, final point one of the games I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: was watching, I'm gonna go to Pittsburgh the Atlanta Braves.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: See Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates were playing a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: game last night. And in that game, someone named Jared Jones.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Keeping up with the Joneses, I am told that as
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a starting pitcher for the Pirates. Jared Jones, he's twenty four.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He threw six perfect innings of baseball against the Braves.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: He struck out eight. He was only at seventy seven
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: pitches through six innings. It was a scoreless game against Atlanta.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And at that point, someone named Don Kelly, who we
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: are told is the manager of the Pittsburgh baseball team, decided,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: guy out of the game. He removed Jared Jones out
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of the game at the start of the seventh inning
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: out of and of course an abundance of caution because
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of pitch limit. And that's it. He's coming back from
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: elbow surgery. Of course, what do you think the fans
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh did the bucko fans? Did they raise the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: jolly Roger? No, they threw the Jolly roger at the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Pirates manager. They boot boom, They didn't shout shame, shame,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: shame with the fans in Sacramento, di alright, did a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: good job by them. Now, the Braves went on to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: win the game three nothing. And a former Pirate, the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: man named after the subway system in San Francisco, Joey Bart,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: who also played for the Giants, But he could sna't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: how much money Joey Bart could have made if he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was good. He sucks like he's bad at baseball. But
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: if he had been good with the Giants and they
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be good, and you know Bart
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the Bay Area rapid transits called Bart. That would
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have been perfect didn't work out, although in this night
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it did. He hit the game winning home run in
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the eighth inning. Now, the story is not that. The
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: story is the removal of the pitcher. This is the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: second time, this second time, we've been having this conversation
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: this week, days after the controversy with the Marlins pulling
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Uri Perez after seven perfect gettings in the aforementioned Sacramento
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So the question, can you make any sense of the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Pirates in a home game pulling Jared Jones from a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: perfect game after just seventy seven pitches? All right, so
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it's not a slope it's a nope. It's not a slope,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it's a nope. It continues to be something that is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: foreign to me. This is not the baseball I grew
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: up with. I know things evolve, aren't they supposed to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: evolve for the better? Aren't things supposed to improve, not
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: get worse? Can anyone tell me that this is not
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a step backwards? It's bizarro world. Major League Baseball teams
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: are run by pathetic cowards who hate fun and they
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: hate history. They don't want greatness. It's a race to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the bottom because they've been zion by the Geeks. That's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: what's happened to baseball. And I don't know any Don Kelly.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You don't need to learn the name of the Pirates
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: manager because none of them have been relevant since Jim
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Leland and that's a long time ago. But John Kelly
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: yanked this guy Jones like a little league kid over
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: an arbitrary elbow surgery precaution thing of a jig. Consequently,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Jones became this is how pathetic the Pirates are in baseball.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: This guy, Jared Jones, became the first starter since nineteen
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: oh one to retire every batter over six plus innings.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And not get the win. You know what that is
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: cosmic justice. Pittsburgh lost Cosmic justice. Front Offices and I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: continue to flog a dead horse. Front offices are so
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: terrified of the imaginary injury boogeyman that they would rather
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: ruin historic moments, which used to be points that they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: would sell. I was like, hey, if this guy threw
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a perfect game, next year, will have a bobblehead night,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: will have perfect game blanket Night. Now it's like, no, no, no,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we must take these people out of the game. It's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: wild and it just goes against everything that I was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: raised with with sports, that you're supposed to chase immortality.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: There have been twenty four perfect games in baseball, that's it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They don't care about that. That's a legacy game, a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: perfect game. They don't care about that. What they care
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: about more is appeasing the nerds and more importantly, covering
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: their asses. That's what this is about, right. Conservative pitch counts.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: As we pointed out in a previous episode of the show,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: major League Baseball actually has the data that proves pitch
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: counts are for Gay's, meaning there's no direct correlation causation
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that if you throw eighty pitches. You're fine. If you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: throw ninety five pitches, it's a problem, right if you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: throw ninety five pigs like this guy Jones, if he
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: threw there are seventy seven pitches. If he threw one
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten pitches, his arm would have fallen, like
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if you drop a candalope off a skyscraper and it
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: would have blown up. Now, there was a game involving
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and the Giants where Dylan Cees did
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: have a no hitter and he threw one hundred and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: eighteen pitches, and the reaction he's an older player. Good
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays. I will compliment the Blue Jays.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Good job by them. They allowed him in a ten
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to nothing game to go out there. There's a guy
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that a team that gets it, of course, not an
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: American team. The Toronto Blue Jays, they get it. They
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: allowed their guy to go out there and Chase History
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. He didn't get the no hitter, and
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you know, gave up a base hit to start the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: ninth inning. But the point is, you go for and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I promise you all right. The idea is that you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: don't shoot for the moon. They don't shoot for the moon.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They're happy circling the parking lot, babying pitchers most of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the time into mediocrity. Now, when I become Commissioner of Baseball,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I am opening up re education camps to teach these
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: bozos that doing the bare minimum is not a good thing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: It should not be celebrated and it should be looked
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: down upon. You should be shamed when you do this
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: kind of bull crap. And that's just the way it is.

  Speaker 9: Sports basketball team. Ben, you know, you beat us the
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: stretch for I'm not saying you can't shoot in just
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: because you're big. It doesn't mean you don't have bow handling.

  Speaker 2: You don't have to.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't dribble, well, I do shoot, Well,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that's my game. I'm I'm a spot up in the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: corner shooter. I think who my game. There have been
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: a few guys that just would stand in the corner
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and knock down jump I don't know, you're younger than
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I am, but there was a guy James Buddha Edwards
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: back in the day. It was very solid from the baseline,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: had a good jump shot. There, just a solid way
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Indeed, indeed, so you're not just going to get out
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: there and eat glass and get rebounds and block shots
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: and change.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to allow ben defensively, I'll get a lot
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: of rebound Offensively, I'm just going to stand out there
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and just kill you with jump shots and I'll be
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: wide open and to get me the ball, and I'm
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: ready to go. I cannot be stopped. I would like
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to point out to I got to pay off the seat.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: So the heat reportedly have just like Cleveland, both Cleveland
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and Miami, in order to try to convince lebron believe
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: it or not, there is a supposedly a bidding war
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to get Bronnie James, who was under contract with the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Lakers that the Heat and Calves believe the key to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: getting Lebron is to find They say, we're going to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: bring in Bronnie James as like the the mascot, that
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that's their solution. So that the Broddi the Heater opened
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to signing, you know, keeping Bronnie on their like a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: two way deal type situation there if Lebron goes to Miami.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So imagine that Bronnie Times is not He's not good.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Andre he averaged like three points a game, is a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: G League guy, and you got two NBA teams trying
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to get him Wild.
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: Wild trying to secure his services. Ben, that's two point
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: three million dollars, right, because he signed the guaranteed deal
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: before Lebron made the announcement that he was taking his
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: talents elsewhere from the City of Angels. Right, we made
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: sure that Bronnie signed that two point three million dollar
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: deal guarantee. And so now the Heat and the Cavaliers
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: they got to come up with the money, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: got forbid. They go into the second Apron, right, which
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: is scaring all these teams still. Now, Ben, you started
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: the show. I got to we started the show. What's
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: going on here in Dallas? With Mark cuban billionaire, taking
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: his feelings, his emotions, you know, his his angs to
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: court to sue the other billionaires because he didn't have
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: to say so that that he you know, said there
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: was a handshake deal and you know, if they had
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: the good sense. But I do have to say this.
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: You do have examples of teams that are organizations that
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: are sold and then the individual who previously had ownership
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: of the organization and knew what the heck they were
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: doing staying on and that organization flourishing. It's not in
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: the world of basketball, but I think that's what happened.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: In the U.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you what are you talking about?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: The UFC's Dana White always.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Thought about it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: It was sold to the partitas, you know, but they
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: let Dana do his thing because he knows how to
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: do his thing, and they just sat back and collected
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: their money. Like Tony Montana and scarfis right, you know
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: what I mean, he got the thing rolling and you
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: had to invent at the White House and so on.
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: He knows his business. So even though they they have
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: the ownership, you let the sports people actually run the business.
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: And everybody promised.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not I don't think that's a good analogy
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: because that's one business. It's not like there's franchises in
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the UFC. There's just it's one big concline thingham a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: jig that they have events every weekend and that's that's it. Like,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I don't I can't think of an example if you
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: work for if you own a Jenie Buss with the Lakers,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: She's like, I'm gonna stay on for a couple of years, Like, well, no,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: not really, you know, because if somebody owns it, it's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: simple onndre. If you own a business and I buy
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it from you and you sell it to me, I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: then control it, or vice versa if I sell it
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to you, it's just the way it is.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: So.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: But if you don't know what you're doing, then that's
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: the thing. Like George Steinbrenner, right, he was a good owner,
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: but he went you went crazy, you went hogwild, and
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: he had the private investigators following Dave Winfield and so
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: finally major League Baseball said enough is enough your band
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: for two years and when he came back, what did
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: he finally do? He let his baseball people run the team.
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: And that's how you got the World Series Championships in
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: the nineties with Mariano orhe Meizada, Andy Pettitts so on,
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: and fourth Bernie Williams. Right, you let your sports people
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: run the business and you sit back and collect your money.
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: That should have worked in dawn, but we all know,
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: I know you got to the callers there, Ben, when
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: they couldn't get the casino attached to the arena. Never
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: mind what's happened in the NBA with gambling. With gambling,
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: the ownership just went bonkers, and that's why they just
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: gave away Luke up Fertichi beans. So it kind of
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: wild to me that that Mark Cuban, who's another billionaire,
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: is dragging this thing out to court. And we already
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: know what the situation was. If they had got the casino,
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: maybe we wouldn't be I know, you got to the callers, Ben,
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: thanks taking a call.

• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the Wusox game, so I went back out there to

  Speaker 1: Steelers nasty? What's your answer the rate, Tommy Pickles? No,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the correct answer is Alfonsos Soliano, who did play for

  Speaker 1: the Cup. So here we go, Here we go, here
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: we go.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Here we go, about we go to the third degree?
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Oh man, what does that open sound like? I don't
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: even I don't even hear it anymore.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: It was noted on Tuesday morning by The Athletic that
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell signing his new extension but will not impact
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: the salary cap for this coming season, so it wouldn't
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: impact Cleveland's attempt to sign Lebron James Ben the cows
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: was your prediction all along?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: That's right?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: What odds would you give it of happening at this point?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: All right? So I say it's a seventy five percent
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: chance that Lebron goes to Cleveland. So that's a seven
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to fifty hitter in baseball. That's the the ending. Lebron's
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: all worried about his image, his reputation. That's the Disney
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: when they make the Disney movie about Lebron, that's the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: ending fade the black Lebron comes back, wins another championship
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland with his son next.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell made some comments this week that suggests that
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: the starting quarterback job in Minnesota is Kyler Murrays to lose,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: which had me wondering how much of a leash do
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you think Murray will have during the season.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: So Kyle usually is pretty good for the first three
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: or four games. Right about the time the new Call
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of Duty comes out, he's cooked. So you just got
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to look at the date, contact the maker of Call
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of Duty, and that's when you're gonna know that he's out. Listen,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Murray's not that good. He's a mediocre NFL quarterback. He'll
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: play well for a few games now and then, but
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: he's not going to last in Minnesota.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Next this weekend, Connor McGregor returns to the octagon for
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: the first time in five years. In a rematch with
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Max Holloway, McGregor returns as a plus one eighty underdog
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Ben How much would a loss for at McGregor's brand
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: at this point?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: All right, this is how bad it is. I did
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the math on his scoop. If Connor McGregor loses and
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: gets embarrassed again, he's going to have to fight one
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: of the Paul brothers. Okay, that's how bad this is.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Connor McGregor versus like Jake Paul. If he doesn't get
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it done this week, how did we know you pass
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: this edition? That is a win win, A win, a winn,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: a
