• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So we are back at it this hour and our
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: lead we got a good one. Now. Early in the day,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I made my first look around, so wrap around round Robin.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, what's going on. There's really
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: nothing that's like a lead story. I mean, there's things
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that are interesting to me, but there's really nothing that's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like a lead store. And then it dropped from the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: football heavens, what are we talking about? The voting booth?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Our lead from the voting booth. Here some stunning news.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Stunner from down under, as we have learned the Pro
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame ballot box, like American elections, there's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: some funny business that goes on in the election. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: if you did not see the electoral process, of course
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't because it didn't. It's a secret vote. It's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like do you see white? Smoke is the white? It's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like this is there a new pope? Well, if you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: did not hear by now, and it's possible that you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: are stuck in some kind of time warp. So we've
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: learned that Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't make the cut.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick will not will not be a first ballot
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer, And that really is thus
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: stunner from down despite not one, not two, not three,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: not four, not five, six super Bowl winning teams that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he guided as a head coach and another couple as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: an assistant for Bill Parcells. Bill Belichick fell short of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the threshold he needed to get to over forty votes,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and forty was the number he had to get the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: forty so he did not get there. He fell short
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of the forty out of fifty votes needed to get
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Fame during his first year of eligibility, so that did
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not happen. Belichick, we are told, received a call from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: some hack at the Hall of Fame last week with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the news that hey, Bell, I know you're like the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: greatest coach in the Internet world and all that stuff,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, you not good enough for our little
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Not right now, sorry now. Belichick said
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to be puzzled and disappointed. He was not discombobulated that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: word was not used, but puzzled and disappointed by his
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: inability to procure the support that he needed to get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He needed at
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: least eighty percent of the committee member's handpicked hacks who
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: vote for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss this
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is a polarizing issue, a polarizing issue. So the obvious question,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: as we discussed the obvious question is why why did
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Patriots legend Bill Belichick not procure enough votes to reach
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the threshold to get into the Pro Football Hall of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Fame on his first time on the ballot. So I've
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got playing cards, Olympic medal, and haberdasherie, and we will
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to make a meat ball HOGI, which Belichick can choke
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on the met ball HOGI because he's not going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: can Ohio, not this year for the Pro Football Hall
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of Fame. So my first thought on this is, this
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't really a vote, brother, This was a hit job.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: This was a hit job, an inside job by the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: cabal that votes for the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a backroom deal, smoky cigar smoke that's in my head.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's likely done on zoom now, but in my head,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it's a smoky room that smells like whiskey from the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. And they all sit around at some roadside
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: motel and they go over who gets in, who's on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the cool kids list, and who's not on the cool
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: kids list, And it's weak sauce dressed up as process.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It's the process. You got to go through the process. Now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: as we understand it, all roads lead to one place,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Bill Poullion. Bill, And if you're old, you know who
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that is. If you're not old, you might not know
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: who Bill Pollyon is. He's got a long memory and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: longer grudges, longer grudges. So this goes back to the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: salad days when the Colts and the Patriots at one
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: point they were in the same division, and it was
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: trench warfare when those teams got together in the glory
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: days of the Patriots, and they would go back and forth,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and Bill Pollon came up on the wrong side most
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of the time. Most of the time when the Patriots
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: played a Bill Pollon team, the Patriots ended up winning,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and certainly the games that mattered. And Poleon decided to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: go open up the playing cards and he used the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: spigate card from the bottom of the deck, blood instrument
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like a baseball bat, to bludgeon Belichick. Bill Pollion bludgeon Belichick.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So this is theater. It is not kabuki theater. It
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is revenge theater by Bill polly As we understand it,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Poleon did not need evidence, He did not need nuance
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: or context. You don't need any of that one word
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you say that one with Chada Cheeda. You say that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: word just like that, and Boom goes to dynamite. Boom
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: goes to dynamite, and uh, well, we've got to send
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a message to Belichick because I didn't like him. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we got to send a message, right, And it's like
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you're vandalizing a statue or something like that. We're gonna
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: send a message that don't fix everything? Okay, negative campaigning
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one oh one? Why do people do negative campaigning? Spoiler alert?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It works, It works, you see it in politics. This
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is a political thing, the Hall of Fame. And so
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you reframe the dominance of Bill Belichick in New England
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: as tainted and you let the cowards hide behind the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: anonymity of not having to reveal their votes. Hell hath
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: no fury like a curmudgeon scorned. And that would be
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick his nemesis year, Bill Poling. It's the battle
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of the Bills. So Bill Pollyon for him a lifetime
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in football, right, the man that thinks he invented football.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Bill Polling one of the great a holes of our time.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's great, we got a hole Belichick's and ahole two.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So it's perfect. They're perfect for each other. They're both schmucks.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And so there's Bill Poullion. This is his Mona Lisa.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: This is the Mona Lisa for Bill Poleon Petty permanent
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: smug shove it up your turk is Belichick. Yeah, how
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: does that taste? And the whole cabal thing for the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame anonymous voters in terms of their actual well,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: now we know who they are. We'll get to that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: later in the hour. They've got clean hands and clearly
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: some dirty motives, some dirty motives here, and I'll listen.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I am on the side Belichick should have been in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. This is an absolute travesty. It's ridiculous,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and Belichick is the gold standard of this era of coaches.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And there's no need to delay this. It's just written
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in absolute spite. I don't know what color spiite is,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: but it cheapens the Hall of Fame, the Pro Football
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, it does. Now Page two, keeping the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour going, keeping the drum beat going. Here,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the question I will now ask to the steam panel,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and you're part of that, is does it make any
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: sense to make Bill Belichick wait for the Pro Football
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame because of integrity issues. Right, let's start
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: with that. So I'm giving this one side, and I've
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: already gotten some email. You better go out and bash,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you better support Poulion in the Hall of Fame. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't deserve to get in, and all you have
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to look at each case on an individual basis, right,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And the Pro Football Hall of Fame has never my
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: entire life, has never carried themselves like the Vatican. It's Canton, Ohio.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's far from the Vatican. And so this is not
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: even Cooperstown either. Cooperstown. They used to talk about having
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: high standards in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and they've
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just urinated all over that. They publicly defecated over the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Fame. Now for years that was all
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that was the hardest one to get in and all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So the Pro Football Hall of Fame is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: not that. So don't pretend that it's the Vatican or
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame. And even the Baseball Hall
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of Fame is now they've now, as I said, defecated
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: all over that. That's meaningless. Now they let the cheater,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the cheating asstro Carlos Beltron, the man that was the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: leader of the trash Can Symphony. They led him in
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: ped Poppy. David Ortiz has already enshrined in the Baseball
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Can't put Bonds in there, though, or
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Roger Clemen maguire or Sosa, those guys. So spare me
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the pro clutching on all this. The Pro Football Hall
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of Fame acting like the moral compass when it comes
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to Belichick, callis and this is the point of demarcation,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick not letting Belichick into the Pro Football You
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. That is rich. That is Richie Rich.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Now the league in general has looked the other way.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: The NFL and by proxy, the Pro Football Hall of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Fame has looked the other way. In my life, we
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have had the stickham steroids, ball tampering, fake injuries, bounties,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: crowd noise, shenanigans that have taken place, cap gymnastics, you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: name it. It's all happened. And all of those people
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fame. No one's out of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because any of that stuff in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: vote also is a scattershot situations like throwing darts into
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a windstorm, you don't really know where it's gonna be go.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: There's no purity test for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: There never was. Now there is. We woke up in
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six after all these years, and now there's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a purity test to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And let's talk for a moment. You and I by
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: what I call Olympic medal winning hutzba Olympic medal winning hutsba,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Bill Pollian lecturing anyone right. Bill Pollian, who rarely his teams,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: did well against Bill Belichick, so he multiple times tried
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to change the rules because he couldn't beat the Patriots
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: with Belichick the way the rules were, so he tried
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to change the rules. And while he was running the Colts,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember, all of a sudden,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the Colts were visited by what we call the the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Decibel Fairy, the Decibel fairry that showed up at the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: RSA Dome that was where the Colts used to play,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and cranked up the volume to eleven. In the stadium.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: They would pump in artificial crowd noise, and Bill Paullion
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had no problem with that. That was fine. Well he
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: was running the Colts. But his other stuff, well, that's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that's a problem. Police and holding Belichick out on the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: first ballot, it's like going to Germany and visiting the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Autoban where Autobon butch one of our old callers. He's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: retired now because he moved back to the States. He
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: didn't call anymore, although he still wants Ricky Waters in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. But putting a speed bump on
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the autobon, well, the whole point of the autobon is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: there's no speed most there's no speed bumps in the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. To get in the Pro Football Hall
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of Fame. In the NFL and the Pro Football Hall
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of mL benefited you all the gray areas and all that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: That's the league that they didn't care and they look
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the other way. And now all of a sudden, you've
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: got to be a choir boy or Belichick go ahead
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to punish him for a year. So what is Belichick
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: going to do between now and next year to clean
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: his reputation for the purity police at the Pro Football
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame? Now, the last word, keeping the beat going,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: rat of tat tat, keeping the beat going. Here. So
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the question, now, if Bill Belichick gets stiff armed, right
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: stiff armed on the first ballot, it's a natural conclusion.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Everyone's making the same conclusion. I'll be the latest add
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: onto it. I think it's a legitimate question that needs
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to be asked. I think it's a question most of
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: us have. So if you don't let Belichick in because
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he's a dirty, rotten scoundrel, does that mean Tom Brady
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: also does not get in that Tom Brady gets denied
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: with his avocado ice cream, he can't get in the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first vote. You've
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: set the president, have you not? I think the same
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: player about Brady was right there with Belichick and benefited.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: If Belichick benefitted from everything that was going on, tom
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Brady benefit. If that's if you're on the high moral mountain,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: if that's where you side. So we are playing this game,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play the game. That would be the line
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you go boomerang, and I would say buckle up, fasten
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: your seatbelt, because you can't open the cheating drawer halfway.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: You can't do it once you go down there, it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: how far down into the matrix do you want to go?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: You take the red pill or the blue pill here?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And so if this is a precedent setting event, now
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: either you judge careers on winds, rings, impact and can
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you tell the history of the ward of Pro Football
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: without Bill Belichick? Of course not, And you'll get in eventually.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Are you going to turn this into a half hour
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: episodes of Judge Judy where Judge Judy decides whether or
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: not you get in or not. Now, since you have
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: slum down Bill Belichick, Brady, the Brady Klan, the marching
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and chat of society for Tom Brady, there, I guess
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Brady has to go to the haberdasherie and get a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: matching scarlet letter that Bill Belichick is going to wear.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: So Brady can get that scarlet letter. That's the extension
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of the argument. That's the extension of the argument, and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it's gobbledee gook with a capital G gobbly gook the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. I want to go back
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to something I said a few minutes ago. They've always
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: looked the other way to cheating. That's the difference. That's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: why my position on This is different than the Baseball
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of Fame. But Baseball ruined the Hall of Fame. The
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: riders round it, putting the cheating a hole Carlos Beltron in.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So that's over too. I don't want to hear any
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: more arguments about, oh, you have to be a certain
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: standard to get in the Hall of It. No you don't.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You just let you let Beltron in, You let Big
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Poppy in. There's other steroid guys that in. Certain guys
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: can't get it. And so if you want my evidence,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you want receipts on this. Jerry Rice the greatest receiver
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of all time. I think we'd all agree on that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Played it in the era where it was harder to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: play receiver than it is now. It's easier. You had
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba and Puka Naku and all these
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: guys are running will it's because he easier to play
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: right wide receiver. Jerry Rice would use gobs of stickham.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: It did not stop m being put into the Hall
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of Fame. And it's all time great and canonized Jerry Rice.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Montana benefitted from Jerry Rice using this stick iman.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Montana a couple of years ago bragged about how the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers offensive line protecting Joe Montana were greased
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: up like pigs. They put on a bunch of stuff
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: on their jerseys so they defensive players couldn't grab a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hold of them. And that was cheating and Montana was
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: very proud of it, and he's not looked down upon
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: because of that. You can go on John Elway. The
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Broncos openly cheated with the salary cap. Elway was in
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: cahoots with that, and that when they were winning the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl at the end of Elway's career. The Broncos
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: got punished by the NFL for that. Nobody brings that up.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna stop Bell. Belichick's where we draw the line.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Right there, That's where we draw the line. So spare
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: me the sudden, great awakening, and now it's all about
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the integrity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Please,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and if you want to retroactively apply penalties selectively, the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: line disappears. That's it. It's pure chaos and that's where
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we are. And the only ones that like that are
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the flea bitaten varmints like Bill Pollian.

• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: get your podcast. Our lead this hour from Western New
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: York where the Buffalo roam and they're going the wrong direction.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: They're going the wrong direction. The Buffalo Bills. They hired
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a new coach. Did you see this? No, maybe you
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: missed it. The Belichick news trumped everything. I see the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: boards packed with Belichick people. So we'll get to the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Belichick crowd here mal Mantelli. But if you did not hear,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: maybe not. Belichick was denied for the Hall of fame.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: But the story earlier was the Buffalo Bills who after
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that I don't know what you'd call that news conference
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: where the owner got up there and talked about how
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: we have to have a new voice and all that stuff.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So the Bills went out and got a new voice.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: They hired someone in house. The Buffalo Bills promoted Joe
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Brady as their new head coach. Say what, who goofed?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I've got to know now they're selling this as a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: move to provide continuity for Quarterbank. Josh Allen Brady is
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: thirty six years young. He gets a five year contract.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see how many of those years are option years.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: But five year contract, it's a good contract. I've never
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: had a five year contract. So Joe Brady's promotion came
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a little more than a week after Sean McDermott was
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: fired following the nine year tenure where he continued to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be a stumblebum his teams in the fourth quarter of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: playoff games. So Joe Brady his promotion, He's now the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: head coach. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping off point.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: So the question what message give me? The message that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the Bills ownership is sending by hiring Joe Brady as
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: their next head coach. So my observations, I've got Jimmy Johns,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Rodeo Ruter, and Old Shoe, and we will combine all
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to play
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: connect three, Connect not connect four. Connect three. That's how
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. So number number what okay? All right?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal. When the Bills officially do the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: whole Shenanigans and all that with Joe Bray, they ought
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to pass out barf bags to the Bills mafia because
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they just made everyone nauseous. Who supports the Bills. Now,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: there are some people trying to spin it, and they're
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the kool aid drinkers. There's always a certain percentage of
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: fans that are just gullible. Right, whatever the team does
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is the right move. And you know, they're called suckers.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That's what they are. They're called suckers. So the Buffalo
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Bills were at a fork in the road. So that
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: are fork in the road, and they've gone the wrong way.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: They've gone they should have gone right. They went left. Back.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Job by them. So we put the Mallord Investigative Bureau
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: on this. The MiB the Malord Investigative Bureau on the case.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And there's a chalk outline right around on one Bill's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: drive the facility there, and it's still fresh, and it's like,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: this is on the Jimmy John's menu. It's the number three.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What is the number three? It's the Phony Blooney sandwich deal.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: The Phony Blooney sandwich deal. You also get a bag
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of chips and a drink with that. It's the Phony balooney.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The Buffalo Bills poll
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: axed Sean mcdermomy. If we didn't have a problem with
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: we did have a problem with it. So the guy
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: rid of Sean McDermott. They claimed the owner at the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: time that McDermott can't get over the hump. No one
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: would push back on that. He had almost a decade,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: didn't get over them. And the line from the owner there,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Terry Pagola, the owner said we need a new voice,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is what he said. And so then what does Pagola
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the owner do? What does he do? He hires a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: guy who was sitting in a chair in the room
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in the locker. The guy was there, the guy was
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I hired a guy that was there. You said needed
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a new voice. Yeah, hired a voice that was already there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Brady just completed his fourth season in Buffalo. He was
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the haunt shunt, offensive genius that made Joe Burrow in college.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: And he goes to Buffalo and it's it's fine. It's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: not any genius work by Brady. The whole thing is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a total sham. It's a total tap. Like you fired
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the head coach and then you brought somebody. It's like
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get rid of the head of the household
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna replace him with the butler. No, no,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that's not that's not the move. You did the wrong thing.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And so Joe Brady, who was part of the problem
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, and he was the one calling
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: plays when the plays didn't work, when they needed to work,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he was the one calling the plays. And so now
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: he he's the guy you're telling me that's the new voice.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: She picked him as the new voice. Here, give me
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a break, give me a bloody break. So what's really
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: going on? I mentioned we use the Mallard Investigative Bureau,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the MIIB, and the MIIB is never wrong. They're not
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: always right, but they're never wrong. Here's the MIIB determined
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that Joe Brady, it is more likely than not this
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: hire was made because he is a stool pigeon Joe Brady,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: that he is a puppet to the front office, he's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a conduit. And this really confirms what was initially said
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to be some conspiracy theories on the Buffalo Bills. But
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: this guy appears to be a kool aid drinker, a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: toady for management, and he's not going to challenge the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Church of the Bills mafia, at least the ownership wing
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of the Bills mafia McDermott if the conspiracy is right. Again,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a conspiracy anymore. But the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: story that was being peddled was that McDermott had the stones,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: he had the machismo to go up to the ownership
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: group in the front office say listen, this roster is
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: not complete. We need we need some more help on this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And so the ownership and the GM there decided, okay,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. Why don't we excommunicate you. We'll get
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: your ass out of here. And the Bills went out
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: looking for a coach. And you'd think this would be
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the top job, the Ravens job, and the Bills job,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and the Ravens we determined they got rid of John
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh because Lamar Jackson was upset with John Harbaugh, so
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: they hired a Harbaugh disciple. So the Buffalo Bills got
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: rid of Sean McDermott and they had Josh Allen. You
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: think everyone would be lining up around the building to
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: work for the Buffalo Bills. It turns out they just
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: hired one of McDermott's assistants who they hand picked and
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: put on the coaching staff. So that's where I the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: theory is, this guy's a yes man, and he's again
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: he's just a spy in the locker room for the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: ownership group. Let's talk about number seventeen for a second, though,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Why not, because Josh Allen one is not totally out
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: of the woods. There's some culpability in this. It would
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: appear that Josh Allen gave his blessing to Joe Brady
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to be the head coach here. He could have put
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: up a fight, He should have put up a fight,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and he wanted someone who he was familiar with. And
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: this is the guy, and so good for Josh Allen.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: He can keep playing hero ball late in playoff games
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and not making the right move, and the Bills will
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: find new creative ways to f this thing up. And wow,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: all right, now, let's play the odds. What do you say?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I love playing the odds? Page two. Let's play the odds.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: So the question, what are the chances that Joe Brady
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: ends up making me look like a donkey? What are
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the chances that the Bills new coach has the pass
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: code to unlock the Lombardi Trophy? What are the odds?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: So we are setting the malarods at plus two thousand,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: plus two thousand. Now, if you're not good with math,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: that is under five percent. That's where I am. It's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: less than five percent chance that Joe Brady works out,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and so it's not really much of a belief in
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady. It's like wishful thinking. And then you wrap
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that in some duct tape and then there's a little
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: bit that you needed some Elmer's glues. You put the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Elmo's glue in there, and that's that. But the Bills
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: are allegedly and win now mode. We want to win.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: So they spun the roulette wheel and they prayed it
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: didn't land on green double zero, and it appears that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it landed on green double zero. So what are the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: issues now? Just looking at this objectively, because there's nothing
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like objectivity on overnight sports radio, So looking at this
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: objectivity objectively rather objectively. Joe Brady is a first year coach.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: You know who hires first year coaches? The Jets, the Cardinals,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: an MVP and you hired It's a starter job for
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady, a starter job. Hasn't coached at any level
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that matters, hasn't coached at any as a head coach,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: so he's got no grace period. There's no runway for
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady. And Buffalo hasn't won anything meaningful ever. It's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: a town of losers, Buffalo, and now they hire a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: first timer and say, okay, go get it done. And
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the part I can't get past is again, I go
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: back to it. McDermott. You get rid of McDermott because
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: he wasn't the right guy. Okay, fine, he had reached
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: his playoff ceiling. I think we'd all agree on that,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: as I said, And then you promote a guy who
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: was right next to him, his lieutenant. So great, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Brady's an offensive guy Joe Brady, which is fine. The
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: defense had some leaks there, and the special teams at
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: times were a mess for the Buffalo Bill. And there's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: nobody there to fix the plumbing on that. So you
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: might want to call road ol router because the toilets
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: are clogged. The toilets are clogged, and there's poopy water
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: coming over the top of the toilet right there. Meanwhile,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen his prime time years tick tick tic tic
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: tic tic tic. Yeah, that's it. And this smells like
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: another chapter in the annals of NFL history of what
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: could have been on tragic tale. A lot of hype,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of pomp and circumstance, big hopes, people jumping
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: on tables that were on fire, and the same old ending,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the same old ending, all right, now, final point to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the runner up, the runner up, and that's the guy
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that got as I got away some other coaching news.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: There's only one person I know that's excited about this,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and that's Danny in Nashville, who's not even in Nashville anymore.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But the Tennessee Titans have received a commitment for a
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator Brian Dayball, the fat guy used to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: coach Jihants. Brian Dayball is now going to run the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: offense for the Tennessee Titans, so he takes over. So
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the question is the arrow pointing up or is the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: arrow pointing down for Brian day Ball joining the Tennessee
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Titans as the new offensive guru. So I'm not surprise
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you on this one. I believe the arrow is pointing up.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I believe the arrow is pointing up. It seems like
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a pretty good fit. Seems like a pretty good fit.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: So I'll be Benny Brightside on this one. Considering the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, he thought he was getting the Bills job.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I think most the gambling market had him as the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: favorite for the Bill's job. Going to Tennessee is the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: booby prize. That's not mistake that you's gonna be a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: head coach of an MVP quarterback and now you're going
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to go coach a man that made the phrase we
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: ask famous in Tennessee. So not exactly. It's kind of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: like ordering raising canes and then you get the food
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: delivered and they've given you the uber. Each driver has
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: given you the wrong bag, and it's impossible chicken fingers.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: But it's not even real chicken. You don't want that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: You want the raising canes, you want the sauce, you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: want the fries, the Texas toast, and they gave you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: just some fake rip off chicken when nobody wants that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Where's the meat? Where's the meat? So listen, there's no
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: doubt it's not how Brian day Ball drew it up
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff, regardless, the context does matter in
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: these situations. So day Ball's reputation precedes him. He's an
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: elite schemer and very mediocre CEO, very mediocre CEO, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it just fits like it shouldn't be comfortable, like an
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: old pair of shoes, just kind of fit right and
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you like them, and even if they don't necessarily look good,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: they're your shoes you want him for a long time.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Just fit right. And so yeah, I gave it an
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: A plus on the whiteboard because that's what that's what
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he is. Brian dables an A plus with the whiteboard
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: just drawn up plays in terms of being a head coach,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: wearing the headset and overseeing everything. He's like a D minus.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And he's got that reputation. We'll see if this continues here,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: mad scientist guy. And of course he as a head coach,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: he's the mad scientist that burns down the lab as
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a coordinator. No, and the good thing about day Ball
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: is every game he's one of the He's very charming debonair,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and the broadcasters like him, so they'll they'll give him
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a toe massage, a manny and a petty and the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: whole thing a bubble bath every week on television eytime
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: cam Ward makes a great play. It's gonna be tough though,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters. They're gonna go from massaging Robert Sala the coach,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and then they've got Brian Daball. They might have to
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: add like an extra broadcaster so they can suck up
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: to all the coaches that are gonna be there with
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. My god, does anyone get more love
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: than Robert salap from broadcasters? It is violating in decency
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: loss with the FCC. It is it's illegal in the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Bible Belt, which is odd because Nashville's in the Bible Belt.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how that's gonna work anyway. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and the other thing about Brian da Ball is he's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: got autonomy because Robert sala is all about the defense.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: So that means that Brian Dayball's the head of the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: offense and he'll call everything, and that's it. And got
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: cam Ward and you can futs around with the offense
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and run some RPOs, run a college offense as much
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: as it can in the NFL. And that's what day
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Ball did for Josh Allen. So do it for cam
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Ward and modernize the Tennessee Titans offense. And so the again,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the arrow's pointing up for Brian day Ball there to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: turn the Titans from we ask to a vicious Sea Bass.

  Speaker 1: You can't handle calling overnight talk radio. The pressure people
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: think being a head coach in the NFL is pressure. No,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: being a celebrity caller on overnight sports talk radio it
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: is the highest level of fame. You don't get appreciated,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and you're always polarizing. People have strong opinions about you.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: And it's not easy. It's not for everyone, and people
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: do it for a little bit and they can't handle.

  Speaker 1: He never scored again after that.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: On a recent podcast interview, DeAndre Hopkins said that he
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: felt like he was underutilized by Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Munkin.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Is he right now? He's a middle aged, older wide
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: receiver and he's no longer an alpha wide receiver, and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: so he was not treated like an alpha wide receiver.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And of course you would want to play with Josh
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Allen if you're if you're you know, DeAndre Hopkins and
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: all that, but everything kind of cratered on him. That's
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the type of player he is at this point. And
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: it was his number three or four receiver, he'd be fine,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: but nothing more than that.
• 38:00
