- 2:19Speaker 2: We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
- 2:21Speaker 2: dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Degger to the
- 2:29Speaker 2: to the Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers
- 2:32Speaker 2: to the next. It was magical, absolutely, But our lead
- 2:35Speaker 2: this hour is from the NFL. Some some sad news
- 2:39Speaker 2: to share. I assume you've heard this by now, but
- 2:42Speaker 2: maybe not. Jim Ersay, very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay,
- 2:49Speaker 2: someone that we've talked about a lot over the years.
- 2:51Speaker 2: The longtime owner of the Indianapolis Colts is dead.
- 2:55Speaker 1: The team announced that on Wednesday.
- 2:58Speaker 2: He was sixty five and Ersay died, they said the
- 3:03Speaker 2: team peacefully in his sleep.
- 3:07Speaker 1: They claimed.
- 3:07Speaker 2: In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
- 3:11Speaker 2: worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
- 3:17Speaker 2: on the social media.
- 3:18Speaker 1: That highlighted his love of the game and all that.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Of course, we don't know.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
- 3:26Speaker 2: how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
- 3:29Speaker 2: social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
- 3:33Speaker 2: the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
- 3:36Speaker 2: inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
- 3:40Speaker 2: ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
- 3:42Speaker 2: owners in the NFL and the history of the league.
- 3:46Speaker 2: At that time, he's like, hey, here's the Colts.
- 3:49Speaker 1: You congratulations. Now.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Ersay was not not supposedly in poor health recently, which
- 3:54Speaker 2: has led to more Internet speculation.
- 3:56Speaker 1: In fact, he.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Posted on social media early in the day on Wednesday.
- 4:03Speaker 2: His last post was good wishes to the indian Annipacers
- 4:08Speaker 2: that turned out to be the last one before his
- 4:11Speaker 2: untimely death. Again, no cause of death was announced. A
- 4:16Speaker 2: lot of Internet investigators believe they have the answer. Certainly
- 4:20Speaker 2: if you followed Ersay, you know there's some some skeletons there, unfortunately,
- 4:25Speaker 2: but Ersay very vocal about that, and he'd been open
- 4:29Speaker 2: about the In fact, he's had issues with alcohol and
- 4:31Speaker 2: prescription drugs, and he's been in and out of rehab,
- 4:35Speaker 2: so many people are the success rate of rehab is
- 4:38Speaker 2: not not particularly great, but he's had a couple of
- 4:41Speaker 2: near fatal overdoses. Of people kind of said, well, this
- 4:44Speaker 2: is what happened, but until they announced it, it's it's
- 4:47Speaker 2: all just just chatter. But let's get to the the
- 4:51Speaker 2: point of this as we discuss and the question when
- 4:54Speaker 2: when someone who is a public.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Figure, who we have.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Talked about and is out there in the spotlight. So,
- 5:02Speaker 2: how are you going to remember the life and times
- 5:06Speaker 2: of Jim Irsay as the owner of the Colts? Knowing
- 5:10Speaker 2: that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but what
- 5:13Speaker 2: are you going to remember and how are you going
- 5:15Speaker 2: to remember Jim Irsay? So I have high school musical
- 5:18Speaker 2: toy story and young Blood and will combine all these
- 5:23Speaker 2: things together and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay
- 5:28Speaker 2: through the proper eulogy. But the first thought I have,
- 5:31Speaker 2: number one, being behind these microphones, It's hard to believe
- 5:37Speaker 2: that I've been doing my job as long as Ersa
- 5:41Speaker 2: has been the owner of the actual head owner of
- 5:44Speaker 2: the Colts. It's been a while, and jim Irsay has
- 5:48Speaker 2: been one of the characters in Sport For better or worse.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Jim Irsay is a character can we all agree on that?
- 5:56Speaker 1: Can everyone agree on that?
- 5:58Speaker 2: He's whimsical, he's playful, he's got an edge to him.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Is someone that some people out there to think he's,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, the worst of the worst.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I mean.
- 6:08Speaker 2: But one thing that Ersay did and through his life
- 6:12Speaker 2: which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
- 6:15Speaker 2: be boring.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He was not born.
- 6:17Speaker 2: He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars, if
- 6:23Speaker 2: you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
- 6:26Speaker 2: unexpected with.
- 6:28Speaker 1: With jim Irsay, and he kept showing your toes.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
- 6:34Speaker 2: you going to remember about jim.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Irsay, my favorite memory of jim Irsay.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Is just a couple of years ago, and I still
- 6:40Speaker 2: can't believe he did it. It's a high school musical,
- 6:43Speaker 2: if you will, Jim irsay fired Remember this, this was
- 6:48Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three.
- 6:49Speaker 1: He fired Frank Wright.
- 6:50Speaker 2: The Colts were three five and one at the time,
- 6:53Speaker 2: so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
- 6:55Speaker 2: records average, So ersay he got to bug up his took.
- 7:00Speaker 2: He fires Frank Wright and then hired the guy from TV.
- 7:07Speaker 2: He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played for the Colts,
- 7:11Speaker 2: but he was a television analyst at ESPN as the
- 7:14Speaker 2: interim head coach, and so this gave all radio gas
- 7:19Speaker 2: bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had no coaching experience
- 7:27Speaker 2: unless you consider like the high school level at some
- 7:30Speaker 2: Christian academy in Georgia to be on the level with
- 7:34Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 7:35Speaker 1: So he had not been a professional coach at any level.
- 7:38Speaker 2: And I remember still doing monologues about that and what
- 7:42Speaker 2: is Ursay doing here?
- 7:44Speaker 1: And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Mersay. I
- 7:46Speaker 1: remember Bill Cower, he was cowering. He was so upset
- 7:51Speaker 1: Bill Kauer and he's like, it's a disgrace to the
- 7:54Speaker 1: coaching profession.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Ever, it was up at arm he should the NFL
- 7:58Speaker 2: force ersa to sell the cold. He's lost his marbles,
- 8:01Speaker 2: and Jim Irsay doubled down. He doubled I say he
- 8:06Speaker 2: was glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did not
- 8:09Speaker 2: have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't learned
- 8:15Speaker 2: the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I thought that was a great line. I thought that
- 8:19Speaker 2: was a wonderful line by Jimmerson. Jimmersay was so burned
- 8:23Speaker 2: out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
- 8:25Speaker 2: doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
- 8:29Speaker 2: their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
- 8:32Speaker 2: I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
- 8:39Speaker 2: every game. I know the one game that stands out
- 8:42Speaker 2: from that period where they played the Vikings.
- 8:44Speaker 1: It was a Saturday game.
- 8:45Speaker 2: They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
- 8:48Speaker 2: the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
- 8:52Speaker 2: They dow thirty three nothingly biggest blown lead.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Of all time. But this is not about that.
- 8:56Speaker 2: This is about Jim irsay, and so again my top
- 8:59Speaker 2: memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
- 9:03Speaker 2: his football team, and he said he was glad that
- 9:07Speaker 2: the coach had no experience.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I thought that was great.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Now page two. So can you sum up the rather
- 9:14Speaker 2: quirky side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school
- 9:17Speaker 2: coach is not quirky enough, so for me, the Jim
- 9:20Speaker 2: Mersey thing, I guess you can describe it as toy story.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Like ers. He was like just a kid that had
- 9:28Speaker 1: a lot of money and he inherited it.
- 9:31Speaker 2: He was born on third base, a silver spoon kid
- 9:34Speaker 2: and all that he won the genetic lottery. His father
- 9:37Speaker 2: made the money for the family. He inherited it, and
- 9:40Speaker 2: he enjoyed himself. He was in a band, the Jim
- 9:42Speaker 2: Mersey Band. He would celebrate Colts wins by playing with
- 9:45Speaker 2: the band there and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle.
- 9:50Speaker 2: He had a passion for collecting random memorabilia.
- 9:55Speaker 1: He loved music in particular.
- 9:56Speaker 2: In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
- 9:59Speaker 2: I don't know if it it was a mala riddle.
- 10:03Speaker 1: We used it for something on the show.
- 10:05Speaker 2: But he purchased Elton John's piano at auction, paid almost
- 10:10Speaker 2: a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton John.
- 10:15Speaker 2: And he had his own personal rich guy museum. As
- 10:19Speaker 2: Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually reading
- 10:23Speaker 2: about this. He's got over five hundred items, including we
- 10:27Speaker 2: mentioned that the Elton John. He's got some other classic
- 10:31Speaker 2: guitars from famous musicians that have gone by your years
- 10:33Speaker 2: gone by.
- 10:34Speaker 1: He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
- 10:38Speaker 2: He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
- 10:44Speaker 2: a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
- 10:45Speaker 2: In fact, there was some.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Some Middle Eastern oil baron that offered Jim Mersey a
- 10:51Speaker 1: billion dollars, over a billion.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
- 10:58Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
- 11:00Speaker 2: thing about Ersay and this this story used to pop
- 11:02Speaker 2: up just about every training camp when the Colts would
- 11:05Speaker 2: go to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who
- 11:07Speaker 2: has died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay,
- 11:10Speaker 2: but Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality
- 11:16Speaker 2: to him that he he was known for handing out
- 11:21Speaker 2: wadds of one bills at training camp and you just.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Walking around here. I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing
- 11:29Speaker 1: money at you peasants. Here's some some money.
- 11:32Speaker 2: And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
- 11:37Speaker 2: and and then he would give the winner like he'd
- 11:40Speaker 2: buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
- 11:45Speaker 2: trips to games.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I mean, and this is like he'd do this on
- 11:48Speaker 1: the regular.
- 11:49Speaker 2: So all right, now, final point, So now that we've
- 11:52Speaker 2: discussed all that, there is the fact that life goes
- 11:56Speaker 2: on to address and that the Colts will be playing
- 12:00Speaker 2: football coming up in a few months and they will
- 12:04Speaker 2: not have Jim Merces the owner. So where does Jim
- 12:06Speaker 2: merces death leave the Colts franchise going forward?
- 12:11Speaker 1: And the answer to that is, young Blood.
- 12:14Speaker 2: This is all through a state planning, through that kind
- 12:19Speaker 2: of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
- 12:22Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I have no idea who that is, but she is
- 12:30Speaker 1: projected to be the day to day operator of.
- 12:33Speaker 2: The Colts football ops in the wake of the death
- 12:37Speaker 2: of her father. She's forty four years old and she's
- 12:41Speaker 2: going to actually share the Colts with her sisters, So
- 12:46Speaker 2: the three ladies will all share the team. What could
- 12:49Speaker 2: possibly go wrong. That'll be a smooth operation. Absolutely, there'll
- 12:55Speaker 2: be no fighting at all. So anyway, she and her
- 12:58Speaker 2: sisters will be the become the youngest owners in the
- 13:03Speaker 2: NFL by more than a decade, so they've got youth
- 13:08Speaker 2: on their side.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Youth be served here.
- 13:10Speaker 2: I keep in mind that even though Ersa had the
- 13:15Speaker 2: estate planning, there's still gonna be lawyers that are going
- 13:18Speaker 2: to be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and
- 13:22Speaker 2: they're gonna go through all the documents and all that
- 13:24Speaker 2: make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
- 13:27Speaker 2: eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
- 13:31Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
- 13:35Speaker 2: I believe this woman, Carly Ursa Gordon, will become at
- 13:41Speaker 2: least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
- 13:48Speaker 2: because of inheritance.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Right because I know the Lions.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals
- 13:59Speaker 2: are being run but the owner hasn't passed away. But
- 14:01Speaker 2: the Bengals are also being run. So I guess it's five.
- 14:04Speaker 2: The Seahawks are going to be sold. Paul Allen died
- 14:07Speaker 2: and his sister has been running the team. So anyway,
- 14:11Speaker 2: jim Irsay, our thoughts on him. It is the Ben
- 14:14Speaker 2: Mallor Show. You want to comment on that. We'll get
- 14:16Speaker 2: back to the NBA playoff game, which was a thriller
- 14:21Speaker 2: in Midtown Manhattan as the stage, the lights bright, and
- 14:27Speaker 2: it was a lot.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Of drama there.
- 14:28Speaker 2: As the Indiana Pacers are three wins away from the
- 14:32Speaker 2: NBA Finals. Three more wins and they're in the NBA Finals,
- 14:36Speaker 2: and all those New York celebrity a holes very upset.
- 14:41Speaker 1: They were not happy campus.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So we're not done talking about jim Irsay at all.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Is it true that jim Ersay in many ways is
- 14:52Speaker 2: responsible for a city losing an NFL team?
- 14:57Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Baltimore. That's a different conversation.
- 15:00Speaker 1: But we'll get to that and we will do it next.

- 21:03Speaker 2: England that he is out walking his dog as he's
- 21:07Speaker 2: listening there, and the dog does not look very happy. Terry,
- 21:10Speaker 2: your dog looks annoyed that you're taking a photo of

- 21:19Speaker 2: to tell Bill it's afternoon drive in wheat worn Australia.
- 21:26Speaker 1: He says, hello from Australia. Well, here we go.
- 21:31Speaker 2: This is Loraina doing an impersonation for Ozzi was. Now
- 21:35Speaker 2: Ozzy Was is famous on the show for a couple
- 21:38Speaker 2: of reasons.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I won kangaroos, I do well.
- 21:42Speaker 2: No, no, Ozzie was actually, while listening to our show,
- 21:46Speaker 2: was driving on a deserted, dusty road in Australia and
- 21:50Speaker 2: hit a kangaroo or a kangaroo didn't No, no, the kangaroo.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Destroyed his car. I don't think he hit it.
- 21:58Speaker 2: The kangaroo like, he'll have to tell me the story again,
- 22:01Speaker 2: I forget. But he showed me photos of it, Like
- 22:03Speaker 2: the kangaroo. They're very violent, those little buggers. And so
- 22:07Speaker 2: there's that. And then he also bought that satellite internet.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So he's he's so far off the grid in that
- 22:13Speaker 2: part of Australia that he can't actually listen to the
- 22:16Speaker 2: show because he doesn't.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Get any radio or anything like that.
- 22:19Speaker 2: So he bought an elon Musk satellite thing so he
- 22:23Speaker 2: could hear the show, which is he's out in Western Australia,
- 22:29Speaker 2: so the westernest most state in Australia.
- 22:32Speaker 1: There you go.

- 24:36Speaker 2: Fire like hollering James and blind Scott or one of
- 24:39Speaker 2: those kind of deal.

- 25:03Speaker 7: as he was. He has nothing to offer to the show,
- 25:07Speaker 7: but he puts off his image like he's a real
- 25:09Speaker 7: tough guy, and he's probably not a tough guy at all.
- 25:13Speaker 7: You need to put off some type of image where
- 25:15Speaker 7: you can build your ego up so people think you're
- 25:18Speaker 7: somebody that you're not. Like you might be like a
- 25:22Speaker 7: fabio at school or something. I don't know, you captain
- 25:25Speaker 7: of the football team. Maybe your family were drug runners

- 29:31Speaker 6: that hole.
- 29:34Speaker 5: Six inch pipe in the ground and an eight inch
- 29:36Speaker 5: pipe in the.
- 29:37Speaker 6: Ground, I think about how am I going to design
- 29:40Speaker 6: this ring? And we talked about it, I don't know,
- 29:43Speaker 6: five months ago, a lot of going on in China.
- 29:46Speaker 1: And I'll tell you about Oh is that is that?
- 29:48Speaker 5: Is that the little idea? I mean, it looked cool. Yeah,
- 29:54Speaker 5: that's all.

- 29:59Speaker 1: the rings design that you you sent was was pretty cool.

- 30:17Speaker 10: Mhmm.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I like it. That was we're seeing it. What's gonna
- 30:22Speaker 1: be on the ring? It's you know, he's trying to
- 30:24Speaker 1: he's trying to add some spice to it. He's trying
- 30:26Speaker 1: to dress it up a little bit.
- 30:27Speaker 6: But then the idea is number one. Back at we
- 30:33Speaker 6: make the number one out of the bag at the
- 30:36Speaker 6: surface of the moon and then on the outside of
- 30:40Speaker 6: the moon.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I like that. That's good.

- 31:26Speaker 1: I know Lorrain is excited to get her ring.
- 31:28Speaker 2: And Coop and we're all we're all fired up, and
- 31:31Speaker 2: these will be very valuable because there's not a lot
- 31:33Speaker 2: of malor merch that's out there there. There has been
- 31:37Speaker 2: some whispers that we might have some malor merch like
- 31:39Speaker 2: T shirts this summer or something like that, but nothing's
- 31:42Speaker 2: happened yet.
- 31:42Speaker 1: So but thank you, mister. I gotta go, but thank you.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Keep me posted on that, mister irigation.
- 31:48Speaker 2: The the ring Daddy, the ring Daddy. And these are
- 31:53Speaker 2: not like little crappy rings, Lorena.
- 31:54Speaker 1: These are like high end, high end, like super Bowl.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty absolutely seriously like they's super Bowl quality rings.
- 32:04Speaker 1: It's nuts and he's he's he was very kind, mister
- 32:07Speaker 1: Rigation is very generous.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Like he sent a bunch of the fans of the show,
- 32:11Speaker 2: like the super fans.
- 32:13Speaker 1: This is years ago, but he sent them rings.
- 32:16Speaker 2: That's the famous story that weed Man Hippie got one
- 32:18Speaker 2: of these rings in Miami and then he's such a pig.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I love you, weed Man, but he he lost it
- 32:25Speaker 2: because he was in a pile of rubbish and he lost.
- 32:29Speaker 1: It when he got evicted from his place.
- 32:31Speaker 10: And all that.
- 32:31Speaker 2: So anyway, well, this Jim Irsay story passed away and
- 32:36Speaker 2: I saw this and I'd forgotten about it. But it's
- 32:38Speaker 2: pretty wild story. Jim Irsay as the Colts owner. This
- 32:42Speaker 2: goes back man almost twenty years. Almost twenty years Jim
- 32:48Speaker 2: Irsay blocked a radio legend from buying a big chunk
- 32:56Speaker 2: of the Saint Louis Rams. And the belief is if
- 33:00Speaker 2: that radio legend had bought the Saint Louis Rams, the
- 33:03Speaker 2: Rams would still be in Saint Louis, and that who
- 33:07Speaker 2: knows what would have happened to LA. Maybe the Raiders
- 33:08Speaker 2: would be in LA now. Obviously the Chargers ended up
- 33:12Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. But the greatest talk show host of
- 33:16Speaker 2: all time, Rush Limbaugh, who we broadcast from Russia's old
- 33:19Speaker 2: studio in LA.
- 33:20Speaker 1: But Rush Limbaugh has been.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Dead for a while, but he was part of a
- 33:24Speaker 2: group to buy the Saint Louis Rams. This goes back
- 33:27Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty nine, right around there, and Jim Ersay
- 33:31Speaker 2: came out and.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Bashed Rush Limbaugh very publicly. Was upset.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Limbaugh had briefly worked as an NFL commentator on Monday
- 33:41Speaker 2: Night Football. He had taken some shots at Donovan McNabb.
- 33:46Speaker 2: It was criticized for that, and so Ursa said, no,
- 33:51Speaker 2: I would not even consider voting for Limbaugh as.
- 33:55Speaker 1: An NFL owner.
- 33:57Speaker 2: And then a couple of years after that, the Rams
- 34:01Speaker 2: left Saint Louis and now they're back in LA And
- 34:04Speaker 2: there is a dimension in the multiverse where Jim Mersay
- 34:08Speaker 2: did not block Rush Limbaugh and the NFL owners allowed
- 34:12Speaker 2: him to buy the team, and then he ended up
- 34:15Speaker 2: keeping the team passed away anyway, but he's Missouri guy
- 34:20Speaker 2: Limbaugh and would have kept the team there in Saint
- 34:23Speaker 2: Louis in the family. Anyway, It is interesting the NFL,
- 34:29Speaker 2: the amount of people that wanted and didn't get NFL
- 34:32Speaker 2: like Donald Trump wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills, right
- 34:34Speaker 2: and then he he didn't get it, and then he
- 34:37Speaker 2: went on to become president twice. Limbaugh wanted the Rams,
- 34:43Speaker 2: didn't get it, and you know, went on King of
- 34:46Speaker 2: Talk Radio and all that. But anyway, it is the
- 34:49Speaker 2: Ben Maller Show. We got Mallard the Third Degree coming up.

- 38:35Speaker 4: Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
- 38:37Speaker 4: his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
- 38:40Speaker 4: signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
- 38:44Speaker 4: now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
- 38:46Speaker 4: Trey Hendrickson. Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Yes, if he gives back more money.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Right, I think he knows by now that the Bengals
- 38:55Speaker 2: are a franchise owned The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So,
- 38:58Speaker 2: uh yeah, they're not. They've they've already decided if they
- 39:01Speaker 2: were gonna pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right,
- 39:04Speaker 2: They've decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're
- 39:06Speaker 2: not going to pay him, and it's just a matter
- 39:09Speaker 2: of when he's going to either show up or if
- 39:12Speaker 2: he doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
- 39:14Speaker 1: I don't see.
- 39:15Speaker 2: I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, So
- 39:18Speaker 2: it doesn't matter next.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
- 39:22Speaker 4: for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
- 39:25Speaker 4: He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
- 39:27Speaker 4: rushing list. Ben, how far up the list do you
- 39:29Speaker 4: think he can go?
- 39:31Speaker 1: Well, he's nineteenth right now.
- 39:32Speaker 2: You figure he's got at least a year or two
- 39:36Speaker 2: where he's still really really good.
- 39:39Speaker 1: So and I thought he was done last year. To
- 39:41Speaker 1: be a total full disclosure.
- 39:44Speaker 2: What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
- 39:46Speaker 2: of decline in Tennessee. I say he can based on
- 39:51Speaker 2: the math on this, he can finish in the around
- 39:53Speaker 2: the top ten, right if he has two more big
- 39:58Speaker 2: years and then he keeps playing a couple more year
- 40:00Speaker 2: after that next.
- 40:01Speaker 4: Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
- 40:04Speaker 4: some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
- 40:06Speaker 4: got bored and complacent on the court. Ben, Is this
- 40:09Speaker 4: a fair analysis.
- 40:11Speaker 2: No, it's a dumb analysis. The Celtics. They didn't get complacent.
- 40:14Speaker 2: It was a flaw in the system. They were a
- 40:17Speaker 2: one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
- 40:20Speaker 2: All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
- 40:22Speaker 2: twenty five out of one hundred three point shots over
- 40:25Speaker 2: three games.
- 40:26Speaker 1: That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
- 40:31Speaker 1: all right? How did we do a coup? You passed
- 40:32Speaker 1: this edition? That is a wait. Put it on the
- 40:34Speaker 1: I want at the buzzer. I wanted the buzzer arena.
- 40:37Speaker 1: I got the win, I won it.
