Speaker 1: agency and coaching even though he's under contract. But there's
0:22
Speaker 1: a story out that Arkansas is on the prowl for
0:26
Speaker 1: a former NFL head coach. Would Arkansas actually take a
0:30
Speaker 1: shot at John Gruden? We'll discuss that. Pro bouncy ball.
0:35
Speaker 1: What does this trend of stars going a wall say
0:38
Speaker 1: about the modern NBA? Historically terrible, the lack of playing
0:45
Speaker 1: by star players in the NBA, it's at an all
0:47
Speaker 1: time high. So much for the end of load management.
0:50
Speaker 1: And in the Major League Baseball world. Why would Chota
0:55
Speaker 1: Imanaga stay with the Cubs? They rejected him, he took
0:59
Speaker 1: the qualifying offer, They didn't want him around, and he's
1:01
Speaker 1: still staying. We'll talk about that as well and more
1:04
Speaker 1: right now here, it is our number three. Could a
1:09
Speaker 1: former NFL coach, a championship level coach be headed to

1:22
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in the

1:42
Speaker 1: microphones of FSR emmating live from the other side as

1:53
Speaker 1: the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by
1:56
Speaker 1: Bill from Koreatown, my lawyer, and also the one and
2:02
Speaker 1: only Marcel from Brooklyn. So they both approve that this
2:06
Speaker 1: show is made possible in part by our friends at
2:09
Speaker 1: tire Rack That's right, tire i Raq Amazing. For over
2:12
Speaker 1: forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers like Tree in

2:38
Speaker 1: The Way Tire Buying Show be so coming up later
2:43
Speaker 1: this hour. If you stay with us for the full hour,
2:46
Speaker 1: we will have the Queen of Hearts with Lorraina need
2:49
Speaker 1: some questions for that. She's back this week, so if
2:52
Speaker 1: you want to ask her a question, you can send
2:54
Speaker 1: that in right now on the X machine hashtag Queen
2:56
Speaker 1: of Hearts, which seems to be a very difficult hashtag
2:59
Speaker 1: for some of you. Do spell good luck on that
3:02
Speaker 1: attempt at hashtag Queen of Hearts. That'll be coming up
3:05
Speaker 1: later this hour. Also too much or not enough, And
3:08
Speaker 1: our friend Billy aka weed Man from Miami's on hold
3:11
Speaker 1: the entire show. He wants you to ask him questions
3:14
Speaker 1: for some reason. And we'll also have the malor Riddle
3:17
Speaker 1: of the day. So a lot to get to, but
3:19
Speaker 1: we begin this hour. Don't bear the lead, my man.
3:23
Speaker 1: We'll go to college football. Busy time on the coaching carousel,
3:27
Speaker 1: round and round and round and round and round and
3:29
Speaker 1: round and round. Coaching carousel. So former Penn State coach
3:32
Speaker 1: James Franklin, if you've not been following the dominoes here,
3:35
Speaker 1: James Franklin Lands and Blacksburg's in Virginia Virginia Tech. He's
3:41
Speaker 1: doing the hokey pokey and shaking it all about Lane Kiffin.
3:46
Speaker 1: Hot detrot Lane very popular on the coaching carousel right
3:49
Speaker 1: now the old Miss coach, reports of him meeting with
3:52
Speaker 1: the governor, having a phone meeting with the governor of Louisiana,
3:55
Speaker 1: being wooed by Florida, and deciding by this weekend whether
4:00
Speaker 1: he's gonna stay at Oldness or whether he's gonna leave
4:02
Speaker 1: or not. So Lane Kiffin playing some footsie and he's
4:06
Speaker 1: not alone. Lane briefly an NFL head coach, not a
4:09
Speaker 1: good one with the Raiders. And who's gotten next? Who's
4:14
Speaker 1: gotten next? Well, if you have not been following the
4:17
Speaker 1: chatter that has been going around here, perhaps not another
4:21
Speaker 1: former Raider coach in the headlines Chucky boy John Gruden? Yeah,
4:26
Speaker 1: John Gruden? How about that guy? So John Gruden has
4:30
Speaker 1: emerged as a favorite to become the next head coach
4:34
Speaker 1: at an SEC school. Which one that would be the
4:39
Speaker 1: Arkansaw Razorbacks, Holy Blake and Arkansas Batman. Yes, the Arkansas
4:45
Speaker 1: razor Backs. According to the latest numbers out from the
4:50
Speaker 1: prediction market that we had to call earlier from a
4:54
Speaker 1: gentleman from Rhode Island called it bro it was. How's
4:57
Speaker 1: this legal?
4:58
Speaker 2: Well?
4:58
Speaker 1: The prediction market says that the odds have improved. The
5:01
Speaker 1: same John Gruden, who coached the Buccaneers and the Raiders,
5:05
Speaker 1: And that is a good jumping off point. So let
5:08
Speaker 1: us discuss the question would Arkansas do it? Would they
5:13
Speaker 1: actually do? It's one thing to talk about it, It's
5:15
Speaker 1: one thing to throw the room around. Would Arkansas actually
5:18
Speaker 1: take a shot at John Gruden? Has he rehabbed his
5:23
Speaker 1: reputation enough to get that opportunity? So on this one,
5:26
Speaker 1: I've got revival tent, Pandora's Box, what's in the box,
5:32
Speaker 1: and Friends with Benefits. Will combine all of these things together,
5:37
Speaker 1: and we are gonna make the babaganooche. We're gonna make
5:40
Speaker 1: the Boba ganooshe. Now, first of all, the answer to
5:44
Speaker 1: the question would Arkansas actually take a shot at John Gruden?
5:47
Speaker 1: The answer is a three letter word. Y e S
5:52
Speaker 1: is the word. And I'm also nodding my head. Yes.
5:55
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm nodding my head like a bobblehead that
6:00
Speaker 1: is on the back of a truck, a pickup truck
6:04
Speaker 1: that does not have good shock absorbers and is riding
6:07
Speaker 1: on a very rocky road. So I'm bobbling baba babble
6:11
Speaker 1: babble babble bah, That's what I mean. So the razorbacks
6:13
Speaker 1: the way I look at this. They are thirsty. They
6:19
Speaker 1: are at John Gruden's a thirst trap. They are thirsty
6:22
Speaker 1: in the sec because they have not only been a university,
6:27
Speaker 1: they have been irrelevant for some time now in terms
6:30
Speaker 1: of the big boys. Here, they're wandering the desert and
6:33
Speaker 1: they're holding a gas can. They're asking, what's it gonna
6:37
Speaker 1: take for us to join schools like Georgia and Alabama?
6:41
Speaker 1: And we'd like to have a seat at the big
6:44
Speaker 1: boy table. Can we get a seat at the big
6:45
Speaker 1: boy table? You can't get a seat at the big
6:47
Speaker 1: boy table because you sucked, but we won't. We don't
6:49
Speaker 1: want to suck. We want to be at the big
6:50
Speaker 1: boy table. Well, come on, So they have not won
6:53
Speaker 1: ten games. I'm sure Hank will call it from Tokyo
6:56
Speaker 1: and correct me, but they have not won ten games
6:59
Speaker 1: since twenty eleves been a minute, and they're just kind
7:03
Speaker 1: of bummed out and been sitting on the outside. They're
7:07
Speaker 1: the house band, if you will here, and college football's
7:11
Speaker 1: house band, and they're the school you schedule when you
7:13
Speaker 1: have your homecoming, and that's who you want to play.
7:15
Speaker 1: And they don't have the headliners. They don't sell out
7:19
Speaker 1: when they go on the road and all that stuff.
7:20
Speaker 1: And so if you're in that position, what are you
7:24
Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna beg borrow and steal because that's
7:28
Speaker 1: Southern Fried football. That's what you gotta do. And you
7:31
Speaker 1: don't make friends, you make headlines. And John Gruden, if
7:35
Speaker 1: you want to make headlines, John Gruden, we've seen this
7:38
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. A couple of years ago
7:40
Speaker 1: it was Dion Sanders made all kinds of headlines. That
7:43
Speaker 1: thing's gone sideways quick in Colorado. They're not very good.
7:48
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick got the job at North Carolina. Well in
7:51
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, is it the year of John Gruden.
7:55
Speaker 1: We'll have to check with the Farmers Almanac to see
7:57
Speaker 1: if that's the case. John Gruden, he's a walking headline
8:02
Speaker 1: on social media. The guy has made a living over
8:06
Speaker 1: the last couple of months opening giant boxes of free
8:09
Speaker 1: crap sent by teams like the Seattle Mariners and different universities.
8:13
Speaker 1: He just opens up a bunch of merch and puts
8:16
Speaker 1: it on It is oh wow wow like that. So
8:20
Speaker 1: and Groom's not getting back to the NFL anytime soon.
8:23
Speaker 1: Despite the many malle monologues we've done about John Gruden
8:26
Speaker 1: going back to the NFL. He is currently involved in
8:29
Speaker 1: a lawsuit which, oh, by the way, he is winning,
8:33
Speaker 1: as Charlie Sheen would say, winning against the NFL, which
8:39
Speaker 1: generally means you are radioactive in Roger Goodell's world. Sorry
8:47
Speaker 1: not sorry. So he's got to take what you take,
8:51
Speaker 1: what he can get in this case. Arkansas, Arkansas, Walmart money.
8:59
Speaker 1: You have to ozar there, beautiful land, not very expensive
9:03
Speaker 1: to live in most places. Seems like a good launching
9:08
Speaker 1: pad for John Gruden to move on up, kind of
9:11
Speaker 1: on the edge of town and you get to play
9:14
Speaker 1: some big time teams here. You want to revive your brand.
9:16
Speaker 1: Where are you're gonna go? So if you take over
9:20
Speaker 1: that kind of program, it's like James Franklin going to
9:22
Speaker 1: Penn State, Right, that's a dormant program. James Franklin had
9:26
Speaker 1: some success, didn't win against good teams at Penn State,
9:29
Speaker 1: but he had some success. And you go to Virginia
9:30
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech and you have some success. Okay, same thing
9:34
Speaker 1: with John Gruden. He would play in Fayetteville. I go
9:39
Speaker 1: there in Fayetteville like a rock music group at a
9:42
Speaker 1: revival tech. He would just be great, just be wonderful.
9:46
Speaker 1: He said, Well, it's the Bible Belt. They'll never allow
9:48
Speaker 1: a guy like John Gruden, and the Bible Belt want
9:51
Speaker 1: to bet if they're hungry enough. Football is religion in
9:55
Speaker 1: the Bible Belt, and Sunday Service starts on Saturday night,
9:59
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. So why not? And
10:02
Speaker 1: the NFL did famously leak a bunch of emails got
10:07
Speaker 1: CIA operation. The Great Brent Musburger said at the time
10:11
Speaker 1: as a Raider broadcaster called it a professional hit job
10:14
Speaker 1: by paid assassins, not the normal goombas. As he said,
10:19
Speaker 1: So Gruden sixty two, what has Gruden been doing? We
10:22
Speaker 1: mentioned he's been doing this unboxing thing. He's young at heart,
10:26
Speaker 1: he's chomping at the bit. He's been doing coaching clinics.
10:30
Speaker 1: He's been giving advice to random NFL teams. And he's
10:34
Speaker 1: also been playing grab ass with barstool. That's what he's
10:38
Speaker 1: been doing. So he's lurking. You hire John Gruden, you
10:42
Speaker 1: don't just get a coach. He's more than just your
10:45
Speaker 1: standard coach. You get a headline every single day, not
10:49
Speaker 1: just on Saturday, every single day. Arkansas doesn't need a babysitter.
10:55
Speaker 1: They do not need a babysitter. They need a lightning ride,
11:01
Speaker 1: and not a rod from Bakersfield, an actual lightning lightning rod,
11:04
Speaker 1: and that would be John Gooden. Desperate times, desperate measures.
11:08
Speaker 1: We've heard that many times over the years. And so
11:10
Speaker 1: Arkansas does not want a rebuild. There's even there's no
11:14
Speaker 1: such thing as a rebuild in college football, not with
11:16
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. That does not exist in terms of
11:20
Speaker 1: a long, slow, methodical process. No, the rebuild is, Okay,
11:23
Speaker 1: let's get some really powerful boosters that have ties to
11:26
Speaker 1: Walmart if you're Arkansas, and we'll just buy some really
11:29
Speaker 1: good football players and we'll pay for a really good
11:32
Speaker 1: football coach, and all of a sudden, within one year, boom,
11:34
Speaker 1: we're good. Like somehow Indiana did that. They hired a
11:38
Speaker 1: good coach, they got the right players, and they've spent
11:41
Speaker 1: a little bit of money, but they've picked the right players.
11:43
Speaker 1: And the Indiana Hoosiers, a basketball school, matter in college football.
11:49
Speaker 1: If Indiana can matter in the Big Ten in college
11:51
Speaker 1: football because of the portal and hiring the right coach,
11:55
Speaker 1: and then soaka Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference, absolutely so yeah,
11:59
Speaker 1: you take a shot at John Gruden because you're starving
12:04
Speaker 1: and even though Gruden's have played a leftover. The leftovers
12:08
Speaker 1: aren't that bad when you're hungry. It's like that might
12:11
Speaker 1: be just ground beef, but it tastes like a steak
12:15
Speaker 1: all right now. Secondly, to pro Bouncy Ball, we go
12:18
Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate mention on the NBA. I bring
12:22
Speaker 1: this up a startling trend to some, but not those
12:27
Speaker 1: of us that have been paying attention, a startling trend
12:31
Speaker 1: about the state of the NBA, and it's not good,
12:34
Speaker 1: which makes for good talk radio. So I'll give you
12:37
Speaker 1: the details. They've crunched the numbers. We're not even at
12:41
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving yet, and all told, all told, NBA stars have
12:45
Speaker 1: already missed over two hundred games. They've already missed over
12:51
Speaker 1: two hundred games this season due to injury or illness.
12:55
Speaker 1: That is doubling the total that we saw a couple
12:58
Speaker 1: of years ago when everyone's started freaking out about we've
13:01
Speaker 1: got to do something about load management. My god, we're
13:04
Speaker 1: ruining our product. So they've actually doubled what they did
13:07
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and everyone lost their mind.
13:10
Speaker 1: Now the NBA's official star designation. What makes a star
13:14
Speaker 1: in the NBA? Do you know you don't. Okay, I'll
13:17
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, I'll tell you yeah, yeah, okay. So
13:21
Speaker 1: a star in the NBA, the designation in the league's
13:24
Speaker 1: player Participation Policy stipulates that a star player is one
13:28
Speaker 1: who has made an All Star or All NBA team
13:31
Speaker 1: in any of the previous three seasons. That is a star.
13:36
Speaker 1: So you have to be either an All Star or
13:38
Speaker 1: All NBA guy within a three year span, you're a star.
13:42
Speaker 1: And of those players this season, how many stars are
13:45
Speaker 1: there in the NBA? You know, forty five? That's it.
13:50
Speaker 1: There are forty five bona fide stars in the NBA
13:54
Speaker 1: that meet that criteria, which means that on average, on average,
13:59
Speaker 1: NBA star have already been sidelined by about five games
14:04
Speaker 1: each they've missed. On average, the forty five players on
14:08
Speaker 1: average have missed five games each. Now for a league
14:12
Speaker 1: that has major credibility issues, right, you got gambling scandals
14:16
Speaker 1: over here, you got players that don't want to play
14:19
Speaker 1: over there. It's a hot mess. It is an absolute
14:23
Speaker 1: hot mess. So the question is what does this trend,
14:30
Speaker 1: which has continued and it's gotten worse this year, this
14:33
Speaker 1: trend of stars going a wall. Some of these are
14:37
Speaker 1: legitimate injuries a lot of them are not. But what
14:39
Speaker 1: does this trend say about the current status of the NBA?
14:46
Speaker 1: So this is to put this in terms of fire.
14:51
Speaker 1: This is like a five alarm inferno, is what this is.
14:56
Speaker 1: And it's at Adams Silver's headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. His
15:01
Speaker 1: stars are vanishing like they are socks in a dryer.
15:05
Speaker 1: Where do they go? I don't know where they go?
15:08
Speaker 1: What happened to all the sucks? I don't know where
15:09
Speaker 1: they went, but they're not there. I don't understand over
15:12
Speaker 1: two hundred games. Let me repeat that for those of
15:14
Speaker 1: your little slow over two hundred games of the stars
15:17
Speaker 1: already have been missed. We're barely past Halloween. We're not
15:22
Speaker 1: even a thanks even then, we didn't really begin until Christmas. Help. Now,
15:26
Speaker 1: the NFL plays on Christmas, so forget that. I guess
15:29
Speaker 1: the NBA begins sometime what in February after the Super Bowl,
15:34
Speaker 1: but then college basketball I don't know, April, whatever. You
15:37
Speaker 1: get the point. So this is not so much a
15:41
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball league. He's like a celebrity injury report league.
15:44
Speaker 1: The CIR Celebrity Injury report league is what it is.
15:49
Speaker 1: And these guys are not treating the season like it's
15:52
Speaker 1: a job. It hasn't been that way in a long time.
15:55
Speaker 1: They're treating it like it's some kind of internship. They're
15:57
Speaker 1: not getting paid, and it's just clock in when you're
16:01
Speaker 1: inspired and then clock out when you're just a little sore.
16:05
Speaker 1: Maybe you might get sore. Just that's it. That's all
16:07
Speaker 1: you have to do. And keep in mind this did
16:10
Speaker 1: not just happen. I'm gonna get on the bully pulpit
16:14
Speaker 1: here and start screaming and shouting like the lunatic that
16:17
Speaker 1: I am, because this has been an issue where there
16:21
Speaker 1: are some smart people who saw this and were ridiculed
16:26
Speaker 1: and mocked by the wokesters, like what are you doing?
16:29
Speaker 1: Just let the players miss a couple of games? What
16:32
Speaker 1: doo cares? Why are you such a hard Oh, that's
16:35
Speaker 1: what they were doing. This is the legacy of Adam Silver.
16:39
Speaker 1: I said it. Nobody has the balls to say it right.
16:42
Speaker 1: They're a bunch of They all suck the toes of
16:44
Speaker 1: Adam Siliver. This is Adam Silver's legacy is the commission
16:47
Speaker 1: of the NBA. He inherited the job. David Stern was
16:52
Speaker 1: the old commissioner. This was his empire under the tutelage
16:56
Speaker 1: of David Stern, the NBA became this monster in the
16:58
Speaker 1: sporting world. And it was Adam Silver who opened Pandora's box. Fully,
17:04
Speaker 1: what's in the box? He opened Pandora's box. David Stern
17:09
Speaker 1: would have had a stroke trying to stop what's going
17:13
Speaker 1: on right now? How do we know that because he
17:15
Speaker 1: did almost have a stroke trying to stop what was
17:18
Speaker 1: going on. Back in the day when Greg Popovich who
17:21
Speaker 1: brought this disease to pro bouncy ball. Greg Popovich who
17:25
Speaker 1: famously sent to several of the Spurs stars home on
17:29
Speaker 1: a Southwest Airlines flight believe it or not from I
17:33
Speaker 1: think it was Orlando. They were supposed to go to
17:34
Speaker 1: Miami and play on a TNT game back when TNT
17:37
Speaker 1: had the NBA. He sent these guys home on a
17:39
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines flight and David Stern lost his mice. So
17:43
Speaker 1: what are you doing? This is it? This is our product?
17:45
Speaker 1: We sell the stars. That's the business model. You're effing
17:49
Speaker 1: up the business model. Holy crap. And there were a
17:53
Speaker 1: bunch of woke sports riders. I don't understand. Let the
17:56
Speaker 1: guys have a night off. They had to play back
17:59
Speaker 1: to bad you know, like a bunch of sissies. The
18:02
Speaker 1: player I can't play back to back. And so David
18:06
Speaker 1: Stern find the Spurs, a bunch of money, find Popovich,
18:08
Speaker 1: as I remember, and then he, you know, he left
18:12
Speaker 1: as the commissioner and Adam Silver came in there. And
18:16
Speaker 1: what did Adam Silver do? He endorsed load management as
18:20
Speaker 1: like some kind of birthright. He said, well, that's a
18:21
Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, he rubber stamped the guy that is
18:25
Speaker 1: a commissioner of the NBA. He robber stamped the death
18:28
Speaker 1: of his product. Adam Silver did that. I didn't do that.
18:32
Speaker 1: Adam Silver did that. He killed his own product. He did.
18:37
Speaker 1: And now he tried to do this last year. He
18:40
Speaker 1: sent out some Joe dumar He used Joe Dumars as
18:42
Speaker 1: a useful idiot to send out this. Well, we've determined
18:45
Speaker 1: now after years of saying load management's great, it's actually
18:48
Speaker 1: not good. Well, problem, you can't unring the belt. You
18:52
Speaker 1: can't do it right. We have now a generation of
18:55
Speaker 1: basketball players that have been raised. You must protect your
18:58
Speaker 1: body on you. You you're not just there for your salary.
19:02
Speaker 1: You have to worry about your long term health and
19:04
Speaker 1: you have to be healthy for this. It's this cultural
19:07
Speaker 1: shift that has taking place there. And there was a
19:11
Speaker 1: point and this has changed in my lifetime where you
19:14
Speaker 1: would feel shame, shame, shame if you missed games, especially
19:21
Speaker 1: road games, because they're like, oh, there's fans there that'll
19:24
Speaker 1: never get to see me. They pid a lot of money,
19:26
Speaker 1: they traveled from far away, all that stuff, right, all
19:28
Speaker 1: and a lot of it might have been bull crap,
19:30
Speaker 1: but it made us feel good, right. And there were
19:32
Speaker 1: players that would play. They would maybe play half a
19:35
Speaker 1: game right as, wow, we're gonna play half a game whatever,
19:39
Speaker 1: But you would feel bad if you missed time. You
19:41
Speaker 1: felt like you were letting the fans down, You felt
19:43
Speaker 1: like you were letting your team down, you felt like
19:45
Speaker 1: you were letting the city down. All that. Now you
19:49
Speaker 1: feel guilty. You talk about a onoin't eighty. Now you
19:52
Speaker 1: feel guilty. If you play too much. It's like, dude,
19:56
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's brain rot and it's all over,
20:00
Speaker 1: not just the NBA. It's in other sports too, but
20:02
Speaker 1: we're talking about the NBA right here. And the message
20:05
Speaker 1: is crystal clear, don't risk it, don't not worth it.
20:10
Speaker 1: You're making fifty million dollars a year don't do it.
20:14
Speaker 1: Don't do it. So they're all playing scared with that,
20:18
Speaker 1: and they've been indoctrinated. It's not just the players, it's
20:20
Speaker 1: the people around the players. It's the voodoo medicine people,
20:24
Speaker 1: it's the support staff, the whole wellness army around these
20:27
Speaker 1: NBA players telling them not to play. It's the first
20:33
Speaker 1: full generation of NBA players that have been indoctrinated, conditioned
20:40
Speaker 1: that the regular season is bad. Don't do it once
20:44
Speaker 1: you get your money, especially, don't do it. Don't don't try.
20:48
Speaker 1: And they're Okay, so I get to wait, I get
20:50
Speaker 1: the full amount of money. I don't have to show
20:52
Speaker 1: up to work. I mean, we only work eighty two
20:54
Speaker 1: games during the regular don't do it. And so it
20:59
Speaker 1: reminds me when I covered baseball and there would always
21:02
Speaker 1: be that rookie that would come up from Triple A
21:04
Speaker 1: or Double A and would hustle, hit a routine ground
21:08
Speaker 1: ball to shortstop and run like they're trying to run
21:11
Speaker 1: away from some kind of bear in the woods. And
21:15
Speaker 1: that player would get tapped on the shoulder and say, okay, listen,
21:19
Speaker 1: you're making us all look bad. Don't hustle like that.
21:21
Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's like the NBA player if
21:24
Speaker 1: somebody comes in is gung ho to play like the
21:26
Speaker 1: other players, Like, what are you doing? Do you're making
21:27
Speaker 1: us look bad? Come on, man, shame on you. So
21:30
Speaker 1: that's the NBA. Good good job, Adam Silver, hell of
21:33
Speaker 1: a commissioner. Meanwhile, final fought. We go to baseball. Quickly,
21:36
Speaker 1: we go to Major League Baseball. We go to Chicago.
21:39
Speaker 1: After making waves declining declining his in the option, the
21:44
Speaker 1: Cubs decline the option for Shota Imanaga, the starting pitcher.
21:50
Speaker 1: He will be back in Chicago with the Cubs. After all,
21:54
Speaker 1: he signed the qualifying offer to return for a mere
21:58
Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars on a one year deal. Quick question,
22:03
Speaker 1: why would show it to Imanaga, the starting pitcher stay
22:07
Speaker 1: with the Cubs when they rejected him, They blocked him
22:11
Speaker 1: like mutambo. So now, initially this makes zero sense. When
22:17
Speaker 1: you first heard this or saw it, you're like, oh,
22:18
Speaker 1: I didn't make any sense until you look at the market.
22:22
Speaker 1: Until you look at the market. The Cubs didn't reject him,
22:26
Speaker 1: they just didn't want to marry him long term. So
22:29
Speaker 1: that's the first time they don't want to sign a
22:30
Speaker 1: long term contract. They gave him the qualifying offer. The
22:33
Speaker 1: moral of the story, if the Cubs didn't want him,
22:36
Speaker 1: then they wouldn't have done that. So it's the Cubs
22:38
Speaker 1: way of saying, listen, we kind of like we had
22:41
Speaker 1: a good time. Let's not put a label on this.
22:44
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get married. How about just a nice
22:46
Speaker 1: friends with benefit situation. Okay, fine, I'm good with that.
22:48
Speaker 1: All right. So they're friends with benefits and it's a
22:50
Speaker 1: one year deal. And for the player in Minaga, he
22:54
Speaker 1: clearly loves deep Dish pizza Lake, Michigan on a boat
22:57
Speaker 1: in August and the Cubs swiped left, he swiped right,
23:02
Speaker 1: and then the Cubs gave him an option of coming back.
23:04
Speaker 1: He said, okay, it is Actually it's a win win
23:09
Speaker 1: when you look at it, because he gets a one
23:10
Speaker 1: year deal to kind of fix stuff. He was terrible.
23:14
Speaker 1: You talk about Doctor Jekyll mister Hyde last year. He
23:17
Speaker 1: had an absolute fallout in the second half. First half,
23:20
Speaker 1: he was an ace for the Cubs, had an ERA
23:23
Speaker 1: of under three in the first half. The league was
23:26
Speaker 1: hitting under two hundred against him. In the second half,
23:29
Speaker 1: is era was over almost five. He was terrible as
23:32
Speaker 1: batting practice in the second half or Emanaga, and Little
23:35
Speaker 1: Birdie says that the Managa his agent did go out
23:39
Speaker 1: put feelers out test the market see who was looking
23:42
Speaker 1: for starting pitching, teams like the Angels and teams like that,
23:44
Speaker 1: and they determined there were not enough fish that were
23:49
Speaker 1: willing to go that direction, and so they decided to
23:54
Speaker 1: go back and the teams weren't going to pay the
23:56
Speaker 1: big money. And that's really the lesson of what's happened
23:59
Speaker 1: the last couple days of you follow the off season.
24:00
Speaker 1: In baseball, the free agent market, even for starting pitching
24:04
Speaker 1: like I Monaga, is not great. There's a lot of
24:07
Speaker 1: teams that are hoarding money. They're bunkering down here preparing
24:10
Speaker 1: for a work stoppage. You look at Glaber Torres, Trent Grisham,
24:14
Speaker 1: Brandon Woodriff, all of them took qualifying offers. Shane Bieber
24:19
Speaker 1: in Toronto, stuck around Jack Flaherty in Detroit. Now those guys,
24:25
Speaker 1: a lot of them had bad seasons or bad parts
24:27
Speaker 1: of the season or whatever, but they all stayed. And
24:30
Speaker 1: what does that tell you, Well, it tells us that
24:34
Speaker 1: these guys are not gonna They determined they weren't going
24:37
Speaker 1: to find the money. Nobody really wanted them, and these
24:40
Speaker 1: are pillow deals. They're one year deals. And you say, Okay,
24:43
Speaker 1: I'll bounce back, I'll have a soft landing spot. I'll rebound,
24:48
Speaker 1: I'll go back to market and then I'll see what
24:50
Speaker 1: I can get. I love that the economics in baseball
24:53
Speaker 1: are such where twenty two million dollars is a sweetheart deal.
24:56
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to

27:37

27:42
Speaker 1: not get it done. Uh, Andrea, that's right. Virgo in
27:46
Speaker 1: Service the Astrology Insider got it right. Bad job by her. Clearly.
27:51
Speaker 1: What else do we have? Fade down? Uh? He credited
27:55
Speaker 1: the brainwashing of Dan Arnold fan I think you mean
28:00
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold fan boys for his signing in Seattle. Who
28:04
Speaker 1: else do you have to see page down? Uh? Heuh.
28:07
Speaker 1: According to ferg Dog, Robbie, the Mariner fan threatened to
28:11
Speaker 1: end his life if he didn't re sign with the Mariners.
28:14
Speaker 1: Came back because it's NBA free. According to Late Night

28:26
Speaker 1: Piner Miguel on fire says Josh. Naylor named the Pacific

28:33
Speaker 1: back the stinky Seattle fish market from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.
28:40
Speaker 1: I mean it's fine. It's a good tourist trap there
28:43
Speaker 1: in Seattle. If you go to Seattle, you gotta go
28:44
Speaker 1: to the fish market. See the guy's tossing the fish
28:47
Speaker 1: back and forth there.
28:48

Speaker 1: Mars from Donkey Sausage. That's his answer. All right, Lorreina,
29:15
Speaker 1: do you have an answer, Lorraine?

29:29
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I've been a Seattle multiple times. I don't remember. Really. Yeah.
29:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like there's a giant statue troll under like
29:36
Speaker 3: bridge there.

Speaker 6: He's so cute.
29:39
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not.
29:40
Speaker 6: That was what it is.
29:41
Speaker 1: Well, last time I was in Seattle, ed from Spokane
29:44
Speaker 1: was shouting my name into a bullhorn. We due to
29:46
Speaker 1: Mallard meet and gre It was very awkward. No, that
29:48
Speaker 1: is incredible. Josh Naylor said that the one of the
29:51
Speaker 1: reasons he resigned with the Seattle Mariners is because of Tucker,
29:54
Speaker 1: the Mariners clubhouse dog.
30:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:03
Speaker 1: Nice, very excited about that. Of course. I think the
30:05
Speaker 1: main reason he resigned is ninety two million dollars for
30:08
Speaker 1: a guy that had five mediocre years and then one goodyear,
30:11
Speaker 1: ninety two million dollars, I believe would be the reason
30:14
Speaker 1: that you sign. Yeah, you know, I guess James is
30:17
Speaker 1: gonna luck out. I don't see anyone else who wants
30:19
Speaker 1: to play the game, so I hit the button. There Loreno,

33:09
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams of the Rims just became the fourth active
33:13
Speaker 1: wide receiver with a thousand plus career receptions. Is that
33:17
Speaker 1: too much or not enough? Okay, let's fight out now.

34:15
Speaker 1: It is allowed. Yeah, not enough? There are six the Patriots, Colts, Jags, Bears, Panthers,
34:20
Speaker 1: and forty nine ers. Well, James, it comes down to this.
34:22
Speaker 1: You got the first couple of questions right, but you've
34:24
Speaker 1: hit a slump. You need a slumpbuster. Of course, you
34:27
Speaker 1: need a slumpbuster for years. All right, here we go.
34:30
Speaker 1: Question number five. Christian McCaffrey. This is for the win
34:34
Speaker 1: and loss. Now has fifteen career games with both a
34:39
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. Is that too much
34:43
Speaker 1: or not enough? That's the question?
34:47
Speaker 7: Too much for the Wears?
34:51
Speaker 1: Wrong, dam James. Congratulations, you have just lost too much
34:57
Speaker 1: or not enough? The answer was not enough seventeen career games.
35:01
Speaker 1: You got the last three questions completely wrong. You screwed
35:04
Speaker 1: up the entire game, James. But The good news is
35:07
Speaker 1: you don't get a golden take. You don't get a
35:09

Speaker 1: Next question from Mike. He says, speaking of friends with
39:10
Speaker 1: benefits after going and doing the business, is it bad
39:15
Speaker 1: for the man to immediately nod off and or go

Speaker 6: No, No, I don't mind it at all.
39:22
Speaker 8: No, once you're done to do in the business, whatever
39:24
Speaker 8: you need to do, right, So I see it as
39:26
Speaker 8: like an energy release, right, So after that you should
39:28
Speaker 8: calm down, you should go.
39:29
Speaker 6: Into more relaxed date. I would love to nap after that.
39:32
Speaker 8: If you need to go and you know, smoke a
39:34
