• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all of you, I hate all of you. Welcome to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my world, settle in Bukaroo. This is just a normal
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: day for us, just a normal, normal night.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: That's it. So we had a lot to get to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and I learned my lesson.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We attempted to talk some hot college basketball in a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: previous episode of the show. We literally had to turn
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the transmitters back on. We had to turn the transmitters
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: back on the we just knows no one left, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it was it was warning.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: There was like a light flashing, woooo what are you doing?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So we are going to go back to the thing
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that keeps the lights on here at the mighty powerful
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Studios, here in the Premiere Networks building
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: at the iHeart Building, which is in a different building.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from the neighborhood, from
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood, mister Rogers neighborhood. I'm convinced that mister Rogers
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: has ulterior motives here that Aaron Rodgers' goal, all right,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: his goal here is to just make sure that we
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: have fresh content on sports media radio television, because we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have a status update, a status update on Aaron Rodgers.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: If you've not been paying attention here, you've been distracted
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: by some other shiny object. Aaron Rodgers is in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: ballot booth. He's got the ballot in front of him.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's got Steelers on the line right there. Below it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: got the Giants, then it's got the Vikings with a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: question mark, and then at the very bottom it says
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: none of the above. And so Rogers is in the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: voting booth and he's an undecided voter, and he's just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: decided that he doesn't want to decide. The decision is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want to de side anything at this point.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And so his hands wobbling, and he's got the shivers,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he's got the flop sweat. He don't know what to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do now, State sponsored NFL Media, he propped the news
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: service in the National Football League tells us that the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: decision conceivably will not happen until the NFL Draft, which is,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: let me check my notes here, thirty seven days away,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: so over a month away. Then you might remember a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: couple of years back when Aaron Rodgers was debating where
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: he was going to end up, and he was with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and it was around the draft,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, when Rogers got off the toilet
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and finally decided to go live in the toilet, which
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: is the Jets building there in New Jersey.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: So we've got some time here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: If that's act, of course, you'll get that report today tomorrow,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: there'll be a report that Rogers wants to decide by
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this weekend because there's a comic book festival somewhere he
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: wants to go to. So let us discuss the question
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for the esteem panel, which you are part of the.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Chatter that Aaron Rogers free ag decision.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The decision of Rogers could not come until the NFL Draft,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: which is in late April, believe it or not.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So I've got.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Drummer FB express train and telemarketer, and we will combine
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: make some jumbalaya, is what we're gonna make. Not that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has ever eaten jumbalaya, I don't think he has.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But we're just gonna make some jumbali. So a my
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: first thought on the Rogers thing, to answer the question,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is it a believe it or not situation?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I am a believer in this one.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I believe believe is in the cards at this point,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because initially it was like, well, Roger's going to sign
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in the next forty eight hours. There was that report,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and then that didn't happen, and then there were the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: tabloid photos of Rogers meandering around the beach in Male
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Boo and contemplating the time space continuum as he wandered
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: around there. But Rogers, one thing's for sure, he is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: not going to be bullied. You're not gonna bully Adam
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Schefter Aaron Rodgers into making a decision.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He marches to the beat of his own drummer, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: his own drummer, who knows that drummer might be named
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Rogan or you know, somebody in the Trump administry.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I have no idea, but Rogers will
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: not conform to what normal football decorum is. Right, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: popular societal norms in the NFL is that you sign rapidly.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And because because you've got a bottleneck here, you got
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: other suckbag quarterbacks that are like, what about us? What
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: about us? You know, like the Russell Wilson's out there,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what about me? You got Kirk Cousins in Atlanta who
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we traded at some point here, and so they're like, hey,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: we sucked too, but we want to go to different teams?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: What about us?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And Rogers is at the front, and what you can't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the whole road's blocked. Rogers is blocking the whole road
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: at this particular point. But he's in his canoe and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he paddles his own canoe, and he's just gonna paddle
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: la la la la, la la la. I'm paddling my
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: own canoe, just like that. That sound of him paddling
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: his own canoe, refusing to follow the crowd, And Rogers figures,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: if you really want him, you're gonna wait for it. Yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're gonna wait for him, And ergo. You know what
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that means, Rogers wants to enjoy his downtime. See the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: way I'm reading this, the longer that Rogers is just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: floating in the wind like a tin can and a hurricane,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just floating in the wind there, and he can do
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what every once. He can walk around the beaches of Malibu,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he can travel to the four corners of the planet.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter right the moment he signs a deal,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the moment Rogers agrees to a contract with the Steelers,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Giant, it's the Vikings or Mystery Team, my favorite,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Mystery Team. The moment Dad happens. You know what
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that means Rogers will then be expected to attend team functions,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to be a leader, to not travel to Egypt when
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: there's many camps going on. And so the longer he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't agree to a contract, the further he kicks it back,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the more time he can do whatever he wants, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: no one will criticize Rogers because he hasn't signed a contract,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and it's as long as he drags it out. He
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: can go hang out with Joe Rogan and Austin and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: do the podcast. He can travel to tim Buck too,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and he will go anywhere. It doesn't matter, right, And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: as the world turns now, speaking of as the world turns,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite quarterbacks who loves crab legs, famous
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston is set to meet later on hours from
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: now with the New York Football Giants, we are told,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And so Jameis Winston, famous Jamis who played with Cleveland.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Not well, not well with Cleveland, then was a.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Commentator for Fox during the Super Bowl coverage. And now
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston is going to meet with the New York
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Giants and free agency? Is that something or nothing? So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I have I jotted down on my my chicken scratch.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I dritted it down something and I'm pulling for Jamis Winston.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna get a mediocre to bad quarterback, if
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you're the Giants, you might as well go down this road.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, I will rubber stamp the malor rubber stamp
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of approval for Jameis Winston. That means a lot, it does.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It means send that out on social media, That means
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a lot. That is the contingency plan for the Giants,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the lesser of not two, the lesser of three evils,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: because if you take the temperature in the room. He's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Aaron Rodgers isn't all that interested in playing
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for the Giants. Does anyone disagree with that? I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: see any hands raised, So he's not interested in playing
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for the Giants.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: So you look.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Around and you're like the bronze winner in that it's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, Vikings or retirement, and then the Giants and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the other options. You got Russell Wilson, who's absolutely cooked
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: at this particular point, and Kirk Cousins, whoopee dam doo.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Those are your options, Dollsville, Doulsville. So Jameis Winston is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the antithesis of that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here and telling you behind the microphones
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of FSR that Jameis Winston's good.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I don't believe he is.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: But what he is is more importantly, He's on the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: train what I call the FB Express train, the fun
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: bad Express train. And I want fun bad. I love
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fun bad. Who doesn't enjoy fun bad? Fun bad is great.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I live for fun bad. If you're gonna be bad,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at least be fun. Don't be bad boring, be fun bad.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And that's Jameis Winston. He's mesmerizing he's charismatic off the field,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he says, goofy things. He's fun, just a fun loving
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: guy and all that. He's a high risk, high reward
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: situation a quarterback. There one man band, it says in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the Bible Jamith Gibbeth and Jamith take it away. That
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: involves throwing interceptions and pick sixes and all that. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it's fun. For every two interceptions that Jameis Winston throws,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he'll throw like a touchdown. For every two touchdowns four interceptions,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating to.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Watch him play.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And also, don't forget if he does go Jameis Winston
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to the Giants, that would mean that Sekwon Barkley. His
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: stretch of hits continues because remember at the Super Bowl
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: media event, which used to be Media Day before its
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: commercialized by the NFL and they ruined it. But at
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that event, Jameis Winston interviewed Saquon Barkley called NFL opening
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that would have dope named. They came up with it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and they sold tickets or where other people go. But
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Barkley was asked by Winston, hey, where should I go?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And kind of sarcastically, Saquon Barkley said, well, I hear
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that New York the Giants need a quarterback, and sure enough,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: later today Jameis Winston will meet with the team that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: fired Saquon Barkley and allowed him to go to Philadelphia
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and lead the Egos to the Super Bowl. Not last word,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a regular punching bag, not a full size punching bag,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: A little punching bag on this show, Kyler Murray.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Now, Kyler Murray quote when viral.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Several of you sent this to me, and I thank
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you for that because I don't have to really pay
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: attention to Kyler Murray news because.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: You idiots send me the stores not really on my radar.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Things that small don't show up on my radar, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: so I normally just don't pay attention. But you guys
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: always let me know when there's something out there about Kyler.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So Kyler Murray said recently, the Cardinals are not far
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: at all. That's the quinet we have the quote, right,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: not far at all, Kyler Murray said, the Cardinals are
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: not far at all from the Super Bowl. So what
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: is your response?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So my response is, I think it's the what they
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: do in the cartoons. They yawn, and they stretch right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you yawn and you kind of you stretch your arms out,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you and then you stretch your arms out like that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I think that's my response.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I believe that is Now technically he's not wrong, because
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl next year will be played in Northern California,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and I believe it's about an hour fifteen minutes or so,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: maybe a little longer than that from Sky Harbor Airport
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to the airport closest to the forty nine ers Stadium.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe a little longer, give or take. So it's not
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: that far.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You're not that far away from flying into Northern California
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: from Arizona where the super Bowl will be played. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I give the guy credit because I knew.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I knew right away this guy was phony and he's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: been able to bamboozle the dumb dums in Arizona all
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: these years, six years into his NFL sojourn, and the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: only thing he's an All pro at his video games.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating, and yet it continues and there's really no
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: end in sight. There were some rumors that Murray will
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: be traded, but got to find another sucker to take
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray on, but alligator arms Murray and he says, hey,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals are not that far away from the super Bowl.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, if you put your record and my record together,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and you and me combined, we have the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: same number of playoff wins. That would be zero zip zilch,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: not a bupkis any other way you want to phrase that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: no playoff wins. The one playoff game he played in,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he was absolutely overwhelmed over like a kid trying to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: sit at the grown ups table against the Rams in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that playoff game.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Remember that days look on the bench like what am
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I doing here? I don't know.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But Kyler is a fifty to fifty player. He's a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty player. He's fine for half the season.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Because of his domeanon of size, or just the video
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: game addiction that he has, he's unable to perform at
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a high level in the second that. It's not my opinion,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it's a fact, and the numbers back that up and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: my supporting evidence for those of you questioning my analysis
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, the eyeballs and the stats back up
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that argument.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: To Kyler Murray.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Twenty two and seventeen record with a good touchdown interception
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: numbers in September and October, so that's half the season,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: play four games a month about and so it's halfway
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: through the season. Then in the dates after that, November
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and December and a little bit of January, Kyler Murray
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: as a record which is, I believe fourteen games under
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: five hundred and terrible touchdown interception numbers and just dreadful,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just absolute from Kyler Murray past that point. And so
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray saying, hey, we're not that far away from
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's like reading off a telemarketers script
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, hey, cold calling you and I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: gonna make your life better.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah. That's a stock answer.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's going to sportscliche dot com, rip and read knock
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: yourself out. Kyler Murray has a much better chance of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: winning one of these video game tournaments than he does
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: winning a super Bowl. Even getting to a Super Bowl,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. Cardinals with Kyler Murray are a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: roster that is led by their quarterback.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: It's soft and creamy. It's a soft and creamy roster.
• 16:42

• 17:02
  Speaker 1: can talk about the pro game and why not? Why
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: not because the story of stories here and it's been
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: bouncing around.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: It's like a boomerang.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: The story started a couple of weeks ago, it died out,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and it's come back around. It's like a Haley's Comments story.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It bounced back. So as we inch closer to the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: end of the regular season in the en b a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: as I've often pointed out, the better story is in
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room, and that locker room we're going
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to focus on right now would be the Grand Canyon
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: State that is the home of one pro bouncy ball team.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: They call themselves the Suns, but they haven't been very
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: bright so far this season. If you've not been paying attention. Now,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of chatter, and I love chatter. I'm in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the chatter business. So there's been a lot of chatter
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that the Phoenix Pro basketball team is considering handing the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: guillotine to their head coach, Mike Budenhoe, who had gotten
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it done in Milwaukee a couple of years ago and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: has been relatively successful as a head coach in the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: different places that he's been. He's a journeyman head coach,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and that he's going to get the old guillotine as
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a way to please kd and Devin Booker, who are
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: said to be grumbling, rumbling and grumbling and stumbling. Now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: despite the very high expectations, the anticipation with Bradley Beal,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Devin Booker and Kevin Durant that the Suns were going
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to reign supreme over the NBA, well, obviously that hasn't happened.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: They are not only a basketball team. They suck ah many.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It's just a miserable season. So let us discuss the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: question with all the buzz, the buzz that the Sons
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: could fire Mike Budenholzer their coach in the offseason to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: appease Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Is this yes, no
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: or maybe so? Situation? So I have medallion, seagull and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: honorary mayor and we will combine all of these things
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a cactus, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to sit on the cactus, which is more
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: enjoyable than watching the Phoenix Suns play basketball.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: So the answer n barr.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: He said nam bar number one. So the answer is
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: maybe so. Now my answer is no. But the real
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: answer we deal in the real world, not the fake world.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: We do the real heavy lifting here in overnight sports
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: radio and in the real world where I talk in
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the answer is maybe so. It should be no. Mike
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Budenholzer is not the issue. Is he the greatest coach
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: on God's green Earth?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: No? Is he the worst coach? No? He's all right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: He's a serviceable head coach in the NBA. He's not
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the reason the blow chunks. That's not why. And and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I understand coaches are like disposable razors, easily replaceable, easily.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Replaced by I get that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Nevertheless, the Phoenix Suns have made it a regular occurrence
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to get rid of coach. It is a revolving door situation.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And they've had instability and ownership. They've kept getting rid
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of coaches. But you certainly don't get rid of a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: coach if the reporting is accurate. They're saying well, slim
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Reaper's not happy.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: What d damn do? Okay?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: If you do that, if you're getting rid of the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: coach to make Kevin Durant happy, you might as well
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: keep the coach. Because Kevin Durant, if you look at
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: his resume as a as a great player in the NBA,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: he also wears this gold chain. And on that gold chain,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the very end of that gold chain wrapped around his neck,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: there you have the medallion. And on that medallion is
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a piece of kryptonite. And his kryptonite is the coach.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: If you go through the coaches that Kevin Durant has
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: played for over the recent stretch of his career, has
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: We've got Steve nash on there, Monty Williams, Mike Budenhozer,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and the beat goes.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: On and on and on and on.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And KD always gets a mulligan. He always escapes the blame.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's well, it's not his fault, it's you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: this guy's fault. But the finger of blame goes to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the coach.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: But yet the.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Common denominator in all of those situations is Kevin Durant,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: mister all everything and all that, and the Sons have this.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: From my perspective, having watched a few of the Suns
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: games this year, they have this highly contagious situation. Venomous.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It's a venomous situation. It's an infectious disease. It is
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: my diagnosis. The Sons are suffering from IDGAF. I don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: give a f. Now, it doesn't matter whether you are
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a pro bouncy ball player, whether you're a talk to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: your host, whether you're a trash man, a security guard.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: If you suffer from this contagious disease at whatever you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: do in life, whatever your life's work is, and you
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: suffer from I don't give an f.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: You're going to be bad.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: At your job. That's just the reality of the situation.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And listen, I worked with a lot of people over
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the years in this business. They don't They just don't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: put the work in and it shows. And in pro
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: bouncy ball, there are things there that really really.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Make you look just horrific.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: If you have the disease of I, I don't give
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: an f. Yeah, it's it's not good, right. And you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: look at the core of the Suns, the superstars who
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: are all making big time money. They've made big time
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: money for a long time. They don't do a lot
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of those hustle plays. They don't draw a lot of charges.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of deflections on d because that
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: takes effort, and if you have I don't give an
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: f you don't do a lot of that. They don't
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: recover a lot of loose balls because again that's an
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: effort play. So you do the bare minimum and you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: just look terrible. And it's those little things within the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: margins that separate you from being good and reaching your
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: full level of ability and not reaching your full level ability.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And last I checked, I might be wrong with this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I don't believe this is aau ball like no coach
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is going to be able to motivate you at the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: professional level. That's not it's not raw raw stuff. That's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: not how how it works if you don't have the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: inner fire, because again you're suffering from a I id
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: GF g AF almost said it. Uh, then then you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: got problems and it doesn't matter all right now page two,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: So we have grumbling out of big deed. Did you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: see this, PJ.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Washington? That's a pro bouncy ball player, but people PJ.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Washington says, that the the Mavericks players are sick and tired.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: They're sick and tired of the Maverick fan base chanting.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Fier niko, fier.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Nko, just like that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: It's been NonStop since it wasn't a trade that Mavericks
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: just decided to hand Luka Donsik to the Lakers and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: said here, you're gonna have them, and so ever since then,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it's been a constant undercurrent of fire Nico Homeman road.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And so finally PJ.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Washington snapped, He confronted someone says tired, you know, sick
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and tire.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: The whole team is of this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: So question for the esteem panel, do you have empathy
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: for the plight of PJ Washington and the Dallas Mavericks
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: players who are complaining about the constant soundtrack of their
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: season being fire Nico, do you have empathy? So I'll
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: go first. I'm shaking my head. No, I do not
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have any empathy here. We're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Here. This is actually a felony. This is a felon.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It is not a Misdemeanor's a felony, and it is
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: an absolute dereliction of duties and it is completely justified
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: by the Dallas Maverick supporters, and if it didn't happen,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that would be a problem. Now, in the big picture,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: if you look around here, it's actually a good thing.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'll explain why in a second. But what happened with
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Nico Harrison is the what I call the sea goal approach.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Now, what is the sea goal approach?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: The seagull approach is Nico Harrison swooped in and actually
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: made things worse. Now, a lot of bosses do that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I've had some over the years that have done the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: same thing. They make a situation that is not great
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and they come in there with their wisdom and somehow
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: eff it up even more. And that's what Nico Harrison did.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: He also allowed the ownership signed off on it. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it's on multiple levels. No, you say, Nico Harrison traded them,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: but you don't trade you your franchise player without ownership saying.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, seems like a good idea. Why not.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I still believe some of the conspiracy stuff will come out,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: whether it was the League office for television, whether it
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: was the ownership of the Mavericks trying to sandbag the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: franchise to move to the Vegas. I tend to believe
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that some of that stuff is true. It'll come out
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: at some point, somebody to write a book. It'll all
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: come out down the line. But the Maverick players are
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: caught in the crossfire. It's collateral damage from the seagull
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: approach of Nico Harrison and the ownership there. But it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: actually good in the big picture. And here's why. Let
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: me make my elevator pitch. Why it's good. Having worked
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: around the sports game and talk to enough people in
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the business over the years, the fact that the Maverick
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: fan base is up in arms and they've got their
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: pitchforks and their torches out, and they're doing mock.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Funerals and the whole thing.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: That is a good thing because it's a passion play
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and you want that because you care.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: It matters.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Right, You're in Dallas listening to me right now, and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you're hurt by the fact the team's gonna suck for
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the next ten years of your life because of this
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: trade and not a giveaway, not a trade, and so
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you're bothered by that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: It means something to you.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And the moment that becomes a bigger problem is when
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: people stop caring, and that's when the dreaded a word
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: takes over.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Apathy. That is the death of professional sports. Apathy.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: People don't care. And when apathy sets in, you might
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: as well bring back Dick Mata, who I think is
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: still alive. By the way, he's got to be in
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: his nineties. Guy, I mean gott to be in his
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: night Dick Matta, who's got coached me. I was like
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a teenager covering the NBA and Dick Motta was coaching
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in the NBA and he was really f and old.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: And now I'm getting old, so he's got to be old.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, bring back like pop Eye Jones and
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Lucius Harris and some of those great iconic Maverick players
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: of the nineties and bring them back all right now,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: final point. So we had a viral moment at the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Midtown Manhattan. Now I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: happen to be watching this game because it was the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: only game in the early television window and I like
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to have a game on. I couldn't find a baseball game.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of spring training TV broadcast this year,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and of course the regular season is starting in a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: couple hours from now in Tokyo, so I was watching
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the Knicks in the heat. I was settling in and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: of course I saw our friend of the show, Kenny Albert,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the filled in play by play guy the Knicks, So
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I was happy to see Kenny Albert. And then I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: saw Walt Clyde Fraser and Walt Fraser had I was
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: watching the MSG feed and Walt Fraser had this ridiculous
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Saint Patti's Day outfitter. Nobody dresses as debonair as Walt Fraser,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: so it was great. It was great seeing that. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: so I'm watching the game and early on the Heat
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: played pretty well in the first half, and then at
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: some point right after halftime, the Heat realized where the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Miami Heat, and we're not good, and then they sucked
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and they were terrible from.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: That by floor.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But there was a moment where the game was delayed
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and they didn't really say what had happened. They said
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: there was a medical situation on the court, and they
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: didn't say what had happened, and I didn't really pay
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: much attention to it, and then I started getting these
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: messages on my phone.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Did you hear what happened? Well, I'm watching the game, and.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: He says some medical situation, but you know, I didn't
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: really see what happened. And so it turns out that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: comedian Tracy Morgan caused about a ten to fifteen minute
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to lay in an NBA game on Monday night because
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan upchucked. He rode the vomit comet all over
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the floor right at mid court, sitting in that celebrity
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: row at Madison Square Garden, and there was a viral photo.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You talk about art in photography, Ansel Adams has nothing
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: on whoever took this photo of the man the myth,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the legend, Tracy Morgan at the point of explosion, when
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: he is leaning over and he is vomiting, the stream
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of yellow goo coming out of the man's mouth, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: it was captured right in the act. It's like the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Zebruder film. It's unbelievable the artwork that is in.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: That particular photo. And check it out.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Even Blind Scott's impressed by that. And Incoad Terror and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Blind Emmett, there was so much puke that came out
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of this guy's stomach. Then there was literally the pavement
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: pizzas some people call it was all over the place
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that it actually splashed and cascaded onto the court. If
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you can imagine, it was like the Great flood of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden and on the playing floor. The game
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: was halted for several minutes. I estimated ten to fifteen minutes.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: There were a bunch of people trying to clean it up.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So you had people it was like a Vaudvillian act.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You had people trying to clean up the puke. You
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: also had other people trying to attend to Tracy Morgan,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and he's in his mid fifties. He vomited so much
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: as nose started bleeding and he was taken away and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in some social media critics or upset that people were
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: having an absolute field day with this particular story. It's
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: not every day that a well known celebrity delays an
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: NBA game. It just happens to be, I don't know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: on Saint Patrick's day where the guy puked all over
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the court. And so I asked the question, goofing on
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan and his reversal of fortune at the Knickerbocker
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: game with the Miami Heat, is that fair or foul?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So after a booth review, we have determined it is
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: a fair ball. It is a fair ball to me.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: This is not this deep. It's not that deep. Tracy Morgan,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: last I checked, is a comedian. This is the kind
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of stuff that Tracy Morgan would tell jokes about. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: if you're a comedian and you're sitting there at Celebrity
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Row and you happen to puke so much that you
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: delayed an NBA game, that is a made for comedy situation.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And Tracy Morgan, the honorary mayor of Barf City, congratulations
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and the old technicolor yawn right there from Tracy Morgan.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And he got his wings, and he got his wings.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: He is in the cockpit of the vomit comet and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. You know, you reminded me of Donovan
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: McNabb and.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: The Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: If you remember that name, Donovan McNabb, he famously puked
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl. It's a hot day in Jacksonville
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and he puked all over the place.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Here we go, it's mallard. How about that?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: To the third degree.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: This is one big fan gets grilled Cobolo.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: So the thunder have a wide lead in the Western Conference,
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: but the second seed in the seventh seed are only
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: separated by three and a half games, Ben, Who do
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: you think are the true contenders to win the West?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: All Right?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna discount Oklahoma City. I would be
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: surprising if they make it. But even though they've got
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: their rate record, because they're gonna be battling the officials.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: But I got the Nuggets, Oklahoma City, and Golden State.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: One of those.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Three teams will end up winning the rest. I don't
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: trust Houston. There's a lot of these other things. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: don't trust. Lakers don't have enough depth next.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: This season's NBA rookie class hasn't exactly been groundbreaking.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: They suck.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: However, some are starting to think that the number two
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: overall pick Alex Sar is finally starting to show a
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: franchise player type potential, and with it has come signs
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: of life from the Wizards. But do you think Wizards
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: fans can maybe start to get excited about the future.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: No, the team is irrelevant. All these games are meaningless.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: They've played a little bit better since they got Chris
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Middleton from the Milwaukee Bucks. But they have the worst
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: record in the Eastern Conference and I think the second
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: worst record in the NBA. So it's like meaningless basketball.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And no, you're putting up some individual stats, but they're
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: not winning numbers. So there's no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: next next.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that having only
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: been to the playoffs once in his career has been disappointing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: But he's keeping an eye on what the Cardinals have
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: been doing in free agency and he thinks they're headed
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: in the right direction. Yeah, Ben, are they headed in
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: the right direction? Well, they're heading towards another season, coop.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: So every year there's another season, No the Cardinals. What's
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: gonna happen?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: This year, there'll be another mediocre Cardinal team, They'll win
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: six to seven games, something along those lines, will fire
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the coach, and then they'll talk about trading Kyler Murray.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: How do we know you failed this to this? Shap
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Lakers true contenders? Who are you are? Such a fan boy?
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: What a fanboy? Pathetic? Pathetic? Pathetic.
