  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: From Jerry's World where c D Lamb cd Lamb has
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: made some headlines. If you saw this or not, perhaps
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you were busy living your life and you were not
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: playing attention because you actually have things to do. Good
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for you, bravo. So cedelam now publicly lobbying for Jerry
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Jones to keep fellow receiver George Pickens on the Cowboys
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: beyond the upcoming season. So you missed this or perhaps
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: didn't get all the information. Pickings is currently playing on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a one year franchise tag for twenty seven million, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he is eligible to be a free agent after the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: season unless the Cowboys decide to play tag You're it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: again or sign him to a long term contract, although
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that's gonna have to wait to Lamb. In this recent
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: rant here emphasized that winning matters more than individual status.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be taking a pay cut, saying, quote,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have no ego here. I want to win. Yeah, okay,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you can smell the bull crap off that quote so fresh.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You know when you walk by a dog poop and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it just that rich aroma. Yeah, that's right there. His
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: direct plea, of course, was at Jerry Jones, behest, the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: man who liked the Cowboys so much he bought it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and became the general manager, saying, Jerry, can you please
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: figure out a way. Let's figure it out. I don't
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: care what needs to happen. It's going to get you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a couple more championships close quote all right, So Jerry
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Jones has, of course pleaviously indicated the Cowboys are going
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to go year to year on George Pickens and they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: he played the budget card, or Jerry Jones did. He
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: played the budget card from the bottom of the deck.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I said, ah, we got to work out these deals
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with Quinn Williams, and I'm going to figure out the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: salarycap picture and all that stuff. And it's a complicated
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Rubik cube is what it is. Blah blah blah blah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now Dallas did. It is interesting to know Dallas did
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sign the rotund Quinn Williams, who had gotten a trade
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: from New York last year. He's agreed to a three
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: year contract for the small sum of one hundred and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: five million. Has anyone ever bought a ticket to watch
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a game he's played in because of him? Probably not
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: good for him, though. One hundred and five point nine million,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What a great mitsch. Well, he's now one of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: highest paid defensive linemen in the NFL. This is about
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the CD player. This is not about him. It's about
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the CD player and George Pickens. So that is a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: good jumping up point. Let us discuss the question, all right,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens, he's in the cross airs
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: as the franchise player. So ceedee Lamb has come out
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: publicly campaigning for Pickens to get an extension from Jerry Jones.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So where does this leave things now? All right? So
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I've got Whirlpool refrigerators, Rubicon and leisure World, and we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: going to make some Texas toast, because that's where George
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Pickens is right now, Texas toast after this upcoming season.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So listen a Cede Lamb publicly advocating for his teammate
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to Jerry Jones. What a sweet gesture, I seedee Lamb.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's also like a bag of ruffles when you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think about it. Right, it's tasty and the plenty of crunch,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but ultimately, eh, and some empty calaries. It's just a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: bunch of empty calaries and all that stuff. Now, sure,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ceedee Lamb. He'll win some brownie points and those are
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: important in the locker room. He'll win a add a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: boy way to go stand up for your teammate, right
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: way to do it. And really it's a terrible hardship.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I think we can all relate. You know a lot
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of you guys working the third shift or working your
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: second or third job. So I think it's very relatable
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to you that really a man struggling. You talk about
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: living on the hard scrabble streets, George Pickens, and God
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: only knows how he's going to make ends meet there
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: for the twenty seven million dollar salary that he's going
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to get from the Cowboys. It's a real struggle, real struggle. Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So anyway, listen, the bottom line is it changes squad
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: douche in terms of the big picture here. And if
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones truly believed in George Pickens and trusted George
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Pickens as a long term option, they would have had
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a deal done before July fifteenth. That was the deadline.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And Ceedee Lamb brings up a great point all the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: championships that George Pickens would win for Jerry and that's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: really been the case. I mean, my friends in Pittsburgh.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Was it two or three Super Bowls they won with
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: George Pickens with Tomlin? No? Oh, okay, that was only
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on Madden. I'm told that was only on Madden. They
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: with Pickens there they won multiple super bowl Okay, for
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: some reason I thought that was real. Apparently not so Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that was not real. And by the way, listen, the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: great thing about this is it's the ultimate burger. It's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a nothing burger because now the Cowboys cannot extend him
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: until after the season. Anyway, and by the way, paying
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: both Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens monster money long term
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: would be roster malpractice. Even though I'm a salary cap
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: truther and all that, it would be roster malpractice. It's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kind of like owning not one, but two Whirlpool refrigerator.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You know, it was really nice refrigerators there, but you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: don't have a stove. But you got two of those
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Whirlpool refrigerators, but you have no stove. So you have
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: plenty of places to store the food to make dinner. However,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you can't actually serve your supper because you have no
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: way to cook it. So it's a bit of a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: problem there. Now Jerry will have a cheshire cat smile,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I promise you he talks about this of a cheshire
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: cat smile and talk about, oh, I want to keep
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the band together and I'll see how this plays out
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: here and all that stuff. Of course, this is kicking
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the can down the road. As we mentioned, the NFL
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: rules did that for Jerry Jones. The Cowboys missed the deadline.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So that means that Pickens cannot sign an extension. He's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: prohibited by the bylaws of the NFL. He cannot sign
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: an extension right now, no long term deal until after
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the season, which will end sometime the league year, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Well, the regular season ends in January
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys. Maybe they lose a wild card game.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: That's about as far as they can go. That's the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: ceiling for the Cowboys, and then that's it. So that'll
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: all wrap up sometime in January of twenty twenty seven. Now, meanwhile,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we go to the infirmary, and is it true that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: star running back Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey, mister fantasy football,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: did not have a good day. He was on the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: sidelines at practice in the Bay missing, missing his first
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: training camp practice with what the team called quote tightness
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: close quote what woa. Yeah, the forty nine ers declining
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to specify exactly where the tightness was. I wonder why. However,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and the NEPO baby, Klay Kubiak, said
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that the team is not concerned about the injury to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: their all purpose, all everything weapon, Christian McCaffrey. All right,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: so the question. The forty nine Ers claim, we're not worried,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: not concerned at all. The Niners say they're not worried
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: about the health of Christian McCaffrey. So what is the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: verdict here? Give me the verdict on this one. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: spare me, I would say, spare me the company line.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Spare me the company line. It's always my default on that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to sound the air raid sirens? And everyone go to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: your bunker or battle station, like, what are they supposed
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to do here? So tightness. Here's my experience covering NFL
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: injuries from the bully pulpit behind the powerful microphones of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio over the years. When I hear the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: term tightness, that is the human body's check engine light
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: flashing and sometimes now not always, but sometimes that little
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: warning light comes on right before smoke starts billowing out
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of the hood of the car, and then before you
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: know it, you're eating a nice breakfast cereal. Snap, crackle pop.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, there McCaffrey crossed what is known
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: as the NFL rubicon for a running back. He's now thirty.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's thirty. Uh yeah. He had a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: birthday back int June. Happy birthday. I'm sure. I'm sure
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he got some gifts and cake and things like that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: for his birthday. And last season, the math is right
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: on this, believe he had four hundred and thirteen touches.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You talk about being touchy feely, four hundred and thirteen
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: touches last season. That is the most in the NFL
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in over a decade. Over a decade, you're gonna go
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: back to like twenty fourteen the last time. And if
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you look at the history here for Christian McCaffrey, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: previous two times that he led the NFL in touches,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he followed those seasons up one I believe was in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Carolina one with the Niners, by missing thirteen games. By
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: missing thirteen games, that tells you what has happened. That
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't tell you what's going to happen. And it's not
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: ancient history. You can say, well, that's patternicity, and it is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But we believe in patterns. We're human beings. And Kyle Shanahan,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: when he's not driving, wink wink, he should be biting
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: his fingernails. I guess he can do that while he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: got his self driving Tesla. There wink wink, nod nod,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: biting his fingernails down to the cuticles. Okay, uh, now
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you mix in. Let's see here, you've got age. Because
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: running backs generally start going bad at thirty. It's like
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: cottage cheese. So right there, you got age. You've got
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: mileage the oniodomater. The tires are getting a little worn there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And don't forget the boogeyman a forty nine ers substation you,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: oh my god, the electrical substance, Oh my god, electriccitay
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you Looney Tunes. That is the devil's cocktail right there,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit everything boom boom boom boom boom, as
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a real talk used to say before he quit as
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a caller because he apparently got married. But anyway, listen,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: maybe the tightness is nothing, right, It's possible. It's nothing. Oh,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you're just being doom and glue mallor yeah, it's possible,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: or or in the multiverse, it's possible that this is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the first loose thread on that nineteen million dollars a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: year sweater that you have. You love your sweater, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: then that one loose thread you don't really pay attention
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to it, and then it unravels the entire sweater and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then you have to just throw it away. That's it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You're done, that you're nineteen million dollar sweater. It's all over,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Bye bye, all right now, last word, Derek Carr is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: back in football? Is it true? Former Raiders and Saints quarterback.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: He said months ago, months ago, he was going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: end and his retirement and return to football. And is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it true he has returned to football?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Ding ding, Ding, ding Ding.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, Derek Carr has returned as a special advisor for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the UCLA Bruins. That's a low level college football team.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Say why yes, mister Fresno State himself, Derek Carr has
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: joined you see, La, Now I'm old enough. In another life,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: when I did local LI radio, I did Bruins talk,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: postgame Bruin talk, and I was on one of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: worst losses in the history of that university. They were
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: playing Miami in a makeup game because of a hurricane,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and all they had to do was win the game
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and they would play for the national championship, get into
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff. And they lost, and they blew
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a seventeen point lead in the third I still remember
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that was one of the great days to do a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: postgame show after a team loses. What a choke job,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Holy crad. That was so bad the FBI investigated UCLA.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: They thought the game was thrown. They thought the game
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was thrown, they thought the fix was in that You
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: realize how bad that has to be for the FBI
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to investigate. And that was before sports gambling was legal
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and all that, and they still thought that was such
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a choke job by those gutty little ruins that there
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: must be some kind of fit. Anyway, that was a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: long time ago. And so Derek Carr will We're told
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a mentor, oh my god, mentoring quarterbacks.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He'll work in leadership development. It sounds like he's going
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to give sermons and advise the coaching staff. He will
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: not be a full time assistant coach. So the question,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: does this move to Westwood to you see LA as
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a special advisor officially end Derek Carr's hopes and dreams
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of returning to the NFL. So, after a minutes long
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: mallor deliberation of the available information, Derek Carr's NFL future
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: is now officially on life support. The machines are beepingepep.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You can almost hear them. Yes, And the football priest
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and the Rabbi are playing rock scissors paper out in
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the hallway right now. They're just doing that. That's what
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: they're doing there. So the chances are slimming none, and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I believe slim is now checking in at leisure World,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: so that's generally not a good side. Now the malarods
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: at ten percent. There's a ten percent chance that Derek
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Carr plays again in the NFL, which is about a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: one hundred hitter in baseball. So if you feel confident
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in the ninth inning of the World Series having a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred hitter up, okay, Every once in a while
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it happens that guy Miguel Rojas sucks, and he had
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a home running in Toronto, so every once in a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: while it happens. Right, Good luck Carr cracking the door
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: open earlier, giving us some good offseason content for those
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: fledgling overnight talk show hosts. When he said never say never,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: never say never about returning, the NFL put out feelers
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to the NFL said he wanted to come back and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and of course he only wanted to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: play for a hand picked contender, his hand picked situation. Well,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: apparently those conversations did not become fruitful. It would be
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: fair to say here the NFL said thanks, but no thanks,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to ghost your ass get out of here.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And he landed what sounds like just a sweetheart deal
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: can I do that. I will mentor football players. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: can give speeches to football players that do it every
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: night on the bully bulpit. So why not what a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: great gig, seriously special adviser that is a no show
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: job as a Kawhi Leonard approved job. I mean, it's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so great. How great is that? If it was a sandwich,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it would be a fluffer nutter extra marshmallow fluff there
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: tasty without the heavy lifting. From what it sounds like.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: A car gets to hang out around the quarterbacks and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sprinkle out some wisdom about when he epically choked in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: every big moment in his Raiders' career, and with such
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a bad Raiders quarterback, the franchise had to relocate to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas because he sucks so much in big games.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: He can tell kids about that, right, kids, Someday you
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: can grow up me just like me and be so
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: bad of a love franchise. I had to leave their
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: city because I couldn't win a Super Bowl. You can
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: be just like me, kids. Is that gonna be Derek
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Carr speech? No, okay, I'm just saying, just say if
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he had won a couple more big games, played well
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in a couple of big games. Raiders get some money,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: they build a stadium. They're still in Oakland, and there's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: some other team in Vegas just pouring that out anyway.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So he gets to avoid, if I read this right,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he gets to avoid having to recruit the hamster wheel
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of nil, do all the grunt work, the busy body work.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He just gets to do the fun stuff. So there
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you go. And doesn't sound like he's somebody preparing for
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: an NFL comeback at this particular point. He's test driving
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: again retirement and the engine has been turned down. Now
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that Week seven or eight, Patrick Maholmes, Joe Burrow,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen get hurt and somebody sends a message, Hey,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: how would you like to play for the Chiefs or
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the Bengals or the Bills car.

• 18:35
  Speaker 1: From the Land Cleveland, Northern Ohio. We go where the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Brownies and they're head coach there, Todd Munkin, the Monkman, Mockman,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the Monkman, this guy. I like this guy. I don't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: think he's a good coach. He seems like he's he's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not very media savvy, which is good for what I do.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's something I will enjoy because you never want to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: get too addicted to the coach of the Cleveland Browns.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's the ultimate temp job. Get paid a lot of money.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You only last a year or two and then that's it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Somebody else comes in. It's like they have a Greyhound
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: bus station of dudes coming in there and they're taking
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a bus ride and then getting paid for years. So
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Todd Munkin was asked about the quarterback situation in Cleveland.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: The battle. What a battle is this? Setting back the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: quarterback position to before they had the forward pass. You've
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: got the creepy quarterback, Deshaun Watson and Schadur Sanders, the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: social media influencer. It's like he won a contest. Hey,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you're pretty popular on social media. How would you like
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Okay, I'll do it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Why not? I can get some followers, so he said,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: as long as we're still sharing reps, it's competitive. He
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: also snapped at a reporter when a reporter indicated that
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was in the lead, and he got a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: little testy there said a bad word. Munkin did give
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson every single first team rep over the weekend
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: at practice. Bo Bo Schadeur. Sanders returned taking all the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: top reps there at Brown's camp in yesterday's practice, So
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Cleveland still has not settled on a starter. Now, Todd
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Munkins said, Watson is making better decisions and has played better.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's hard to play worse than he did
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of camp. People got all worked up
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: into a lather because of a bunch of interceptions. Now
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: this comes amid the chatter that not only is Shoulder
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Sanders in trouble in terms of the quarterback competition in Cleveland,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that he might not even make the fifty three man roster.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Holy grilled cheez batman. Yeah, the Browns is supposedly concerned
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: about the viability of Chad Sanders, and then if he
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot better quickly, the Browns will look
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to trade him or release the spawn of Dion. They're
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not happy with his production in some of the ability
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that he has not shown during a training camp there,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and they're not going to keep all of the quarterbacks,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and they keep trafting quarterbacks every year and etc. Et cetera.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. There are whispers whispers that your der
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Sanders will end up being traded or released and will
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: not will not make the Cleveland Brown fifty three man roster.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Are we dealing with reality or fantasy? That is the question.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: All right, So my observations, I've got ordering at Panera, TikTok, Trend,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and Hudson News, and we will combine all of these
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to put the biscuit
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in the basket, is what we're going to do.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: So number one one, one one one, the sugar Sanders
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: chatter lives in a land of magical realism.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: What the f is that? All right? Well, thanks for asking. Uh, yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: this is where reality and fantasy get together and you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: toss him into the blender with some pineapple and you're
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you know, some veggies so you don't taste the veggies,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and then you're good. It's very healthy. Yeah. Now, the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: trade rumors, I'm gonna use the F word. I'm about
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to say the effort. Get ready to dump me, Mark,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I'm about to say the F word. Are you ready? Okay,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he's shaking his head. Yes, he said, don't do it,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a rebel. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna say
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the F word food gayse I said it foo gaise
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: capital f Listen, stop it, stop it. As Andy Furman
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: likes to say, I was born at night, but not
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: last night. Come on, nobody is trading for Chadur because
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you're not acquiring a quarterback. You're buying a traveling circus.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You know how expensive it is to feed the elephants,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and you know you gotta how the clowns and all
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Come on, you got acrobats, you got to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: take care of on that, you got jugglers. There's the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: human cannonball. You know how hard it is to move
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that cannonball onto a train? Come on? Now, he has,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: by my math, I did some malord math on this shoulder.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Sanders has a six pack entourage, at least a six pack.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: He's got a camera guy, sound person, lighting dude, makeup girl,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a producer, and a publicist. I believe I'm right. That's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: six people on his traveling circus? Should Sanders? Now? One
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: thing that Sanders has not been doing is playing Apparently
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: good football. Sanders is making the Browns or he's getting released.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: There's no one's going to trade for him, right, those
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: are the only lines. Stay in your lane, those are
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the only lanes. That's it now, right now, not because
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: he's good. Deshaun Watson is in the pole position. That's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: an old arcade game pole position. He's in the pole position.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And now he's not suddenly Joe Burrow two point zero
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: or Mahome. He's an abject failure to Shaun Watson. But
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: this is what's known as a default judgment. At this point,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: it is a default judgment for Deshaun Watson. Now. The
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: knock on Shouldar Sanders remains what I learned when I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: was a fan of Disney, back before Disney went woke
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: million years ago, and they were not doing that kind
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: of thing, the bear necessities, and that, by all accounts,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: is something that Shouldar Sanders is currently lacking, which the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Browns are not happy about. The bear necessities means mastering
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the language, the cadence, the terminology, eliminating the unforced errors,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: shooting yourself in the in the leg that kind of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: last year, this famous story we talked about this way
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: way in the back back of the time machine, going
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: back a long time, the offensive line there was an
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: issue they had trouble. They kept jumping off sides. There
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was a lot of false start penalties and they didn't understand.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: The theory was they didn't understand Shuldar when he was
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: giving a cadence at the line, you know, hut hut HiPE.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: He had problems with that. Everyone does that. Anybody comes
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a fan of football, little kids, you become a fan
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of football, hut hike like that. And so he was
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: having trouble with that, Shouardar Sanders, and he basically the offense.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: He ran the offense like he was ordering at Panera
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: bread and it's like the line was jumping because they
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: didn't know whether or not he was calling a player
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: asking for extra bread. And then went well, no, you
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: know you're not. He's it extra bread and what do
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you want butter? What are you looking for there? I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: don't know you're ordering at Panera. You've got to speak clearly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. So he's still at
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the quarterback kiddie table, Shoudar Sanders at this particular point.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's most likely one of these guys will get
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: hurt and the other guy will get the job based
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: on that. But think of Shader sitting at the kitty
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: table of the quarterback room there, and he's doodling with
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: crayons and learning how to chew his food while everyone
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: else is enjoying a nice Japanese wagou steak. He's just
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to eat them the Gerber
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: baby food and how to chew it all right. Meanwhile,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: page two to the report card. To the report card,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we go the boob tube. The boob tube where nb
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: CEE NBC announced the Hall of Fame game, which was
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: played last week. If my memory serves me correctly, the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game between two non glamour franchises, the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: lowly Carolina Panthers and the even lower Arizona Cardinals, averaged
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: about seven million viewers. Seven million people watched that matchup,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: making it be most watched Hall of Fame game since
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. But wait, there's more. Yeah, as we hear it,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that audience for the Pro Football exhibition game exceeded every
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: single individual NHL broadcast National Hockey League broadcast of twenty
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, all of them, all of them. Wow,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Now the NHL average their national TV audience. It actually improved,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So that's a good thing. See Benny Bright said, the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: numbers went up last season. They posted their best regular
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: season rating in fourteen years. However, no single game, not
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a single NHL game last year, reached the Hall of
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Fame game audience. So here's the question for the esteemed panel,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: which you are a part of. Here. It is so
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: an NFL practice game, not a game, not a game,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: practice practice, not a game between Arizona and Carolina. Thumped
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: gave the old thumper to every game in the National
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Hockey League. Where does your mind go with this? So
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: on this one again we go back to the to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the lemon, easypasy, lemon squeezy. That's what this is, right,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: It just went straightforward, and it really is more of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: confirmation than anything else. We've said this for a long time.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: People get upset. I used to work with Eddie and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Eddie who loved hockey, and I used to go to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: hockey and I love going to hockey games, and I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: covered hockey when I was younger, and stuff like that,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and so good memories. However, as we like to say
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: in these parts, we do broadcasting, not narrow casting. And
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the NHL is a niche. It is a fun niche.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: It is a passionate fan base, a loyal niche fan base. However,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: any way you slie slice it, you can chop it up,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you can take your butcher knife out, your samurai sword.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. That is it. It is a niche sport.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: The NFL is America's fault setting. I think about Gary
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Bettman is taking trapnel here, the little weasel commissioner, because
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the NFL what they did here was they pulled off
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a ticktalk trend, hashtag pants. They pants the entire NHL
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: on a exhibition broadcast. You think about all the stars
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in hockey. You can roll out whoever you like, Connor McDavid,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Austin Matthews, Sidney Crosby, any of these cats. And there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other bigger names there too. You can
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: roll them out there on skates on the ice. And
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: yet the biggest stars got body checked, got body checked
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: into the boards by a bunch of fringe NFL dudes
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: who don't even have headshots on the team website because
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't bother to do it, because they're not going
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: to make the team. You feel me on that. Yeah,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So that's where we are, and we're talking about third
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: string quarterbacks backup linebackers, four string offensive lineman and the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: type that we'll be selling insurance or contacting our friends
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: at Express Pros in a couple of weeks, trying to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: find a job somewhere, and that's what they'll be doing now.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And yet these mama Lukes, these dingle berries, drew a
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: bigger TV audience because they were wearing pig skin. Laundry.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It's all about the laundry than the hockey elites. The
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Krem de la krem of hockey had to take a
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: back seat here. And so this is another painful reminder
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of where you are in the food chain and where
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you are in life of professional sports, the industrial complex
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: of professional sports. And so there you go. The NFL
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is not just a league at this point. We have
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: pointed this out for a long time. It's a content machine.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: It's a content content factory that whatever they touched just
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: about ends up chi ching, Chiching, Chiching, chichin. All right, low,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: final point to the owner's box, We go, what the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: owner's box. Yes, So there's a soccer team which is
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: somewhat popular called Liverpool FC, Liverpool FC, and that team
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: is about to have a new bit owner or if
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it was the NBA, they'd say governor because they're lame.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: But the rest of us adults we say owners because
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: if you buy something, you own it. Anyway, the Liverpool
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: FC could soon be having Jeff Bezos and his lovely
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: bride Lauren Sanchez as minority co owners of Liverpool. Bezos
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: is part of a billionaire consortium. How does one form
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a billionaire consortium? I guess you have to know billionaires
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to do that, right, Hey, how would you like to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: go in? We're gonna buy a team. Well, Jeff Bezos
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: can buy all of the teams in that soccer league.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless he's part of a group of billionaires they
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: canium there who are close to purchasing roughly thirty percent
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: thirty percent one third of Liverpool from the Finway Sports group.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Good Old John Henry, someone who is a co founder
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: of Facebook but not a famous one, is another major
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: investor in this particular group. Now, according to reports I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: was reading earlier, they say the transaction is estimated to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: be worth two billion dollars in US money. Two billion.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: That implies that Liverpool their valuation about six billion. In
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood in the neighborhood six billion. Now, despite Jeff
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Bezos having more money than God, we understand that this
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: will not be a full hostile takeover by the Amazon kingpin,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and instead the Finway Sports Group with John Henry will
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: retain controlling ownership of Liverpool. I know we're very concerned
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: about that, all right. So the question, though, why are
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we talking about this? You're wondering was the soccer store?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: It's not the World Cup? Dude, what are you doing?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I come down the question, what stands out to you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: about Jeff Bezos investing in Liverpool FC? So the NFL
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: for the better part of a decade, using my memory,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I'm never wrong about these things. So the NFL chased
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos like it was. They were chasing like a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: thirsty Instagram DM. You know, you slide into the dms
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and all that, rolling out the red carpet for their
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: ultimate trophy billionaire. This is the one they wanted, right,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the aristocrats of the NFL. They had the velvet rope
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: ready to welcome the human atm into their good old
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: boys club, the very exclusive good old boys club NFL owners.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: So Bezos kicked at tires on the commanders and I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: don't know about that. He sniffed the Seahawks and it
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: smelled fishy. Yeah, very very fishy. Instead, he ends up
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: buying something else, not an NFL franchise. I could have
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: bought an NFL franchise. He walked right past those NFL
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: franchises that have been available in recent years, and he said,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm late, guys, I gotta go. I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go on a flight to Heathrow. But no,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to buy an NFL team. No, I'm going
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: to he throw. So he left the shield on read
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: while wiring a bunch of money to Northwest England and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you know, buying what essentially for him is a bite
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: sized appetizer of the Liverpool soccer team. Jeff Bezos kind
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: of like you and I. If you go to the
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: airport and you're in the Hudson News. Every airport in
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: America seems to have a Hudson News and you go
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: there and you grab like a protein bar when you're
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: checking out, he said, I'm just grab that. That's Jeff
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Bezos putting down the money to buy a share of
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the Liverpool team. Wait till the people of Liverpool realize
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: that Lauren Sanchez will actually be the one running the team.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Jokes on you, Yeah, anyways, but this is the billionaire
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: alpha behavior. This is billionaire alpha behavior, is what it is.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: And he passed on what most of us agree. We
• 35:25
