  Speaker 1: The unveiling of who won the award, so you gotta
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: wait for that. Throughout each hour of the show, different categories.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: We have the most categories we've ever had, So the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: regular bits will be back tomorrow tomorrow, but not right now.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So tonight dedicated to the Benny is that we will
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: get real time feedback from people spurned. I'm sure we'll
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: lose at least three or four listeners. I got strewed
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: out of the voting. I didn't win. I'm not listening
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to your show anymore. And there's other people that will
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: win that we'll say how great we are. So it
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all evens out in the wash. But our lead this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hour is from the speculation machine. We are in the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: midst of the silly season and the most important sport
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in America professional football, the NFL. Some interesting chatter, some
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: noise out of the Pacific Northwest, the Emerald City there,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it's all about DK Metcalf. Now, if you've not been
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: paying attention, maybe you took the weekend off. The noise
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: around DK Metcalf is that Seattle. They don't lot of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: trade him. They're not looking to trade DK Metcalf, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know they don't extend him. He's only got one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: more year on the deal. I'm saying there's a chance,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and it takes force to the I was told the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: math on this. It takes two to tango to make
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a trade. Several teams, including the Green Bay Packers, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Cansah City are said to be lurking
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in the shadows in the weeds trying to entice Seattle
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to make a trade. So let us discuss. Do you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: expect the Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf to end up
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: shopped around here and traded this offseason? So I've got
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: atmospheric River, Pink Fong and Kissing booth, and we will
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to make a little trinket. Now, we are giving out
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: virtual trinkets during the bennies throughout the overnight. But our
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: first thought on this in terms of do we expect
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Seattle to put Dk Metcalf on market and see what
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they can get for him. I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: these things generally come in waves. They generally come in waves.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf, his wave has not arrived yet. But if
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you look around, Deebo Samuel was traded over the weekend.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: More on that in a second. Cooper Cup and DeVante
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Adams are next up. They're in the on deck circle
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: right now. And once those things are sorted out, then
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you worked away and DK Metcalf is in the waiting
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: area over there, and you just follow the atmospheric river,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is what you do. You follow the river. And Metcalf
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is six seasons into his NFL tur He's been around
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: now six years. He's got one year left on an
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: extension that he signed a couple of years back. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks they're satisfied at this point, not being a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: real contender. Right, it's pretty sad franchise that had some
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: really good teams about a decade ago, and now they're
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fine living on the margins, if you will. And you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can't really take a team seriously that continues to roll
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: out the rotting carcass of Gino Smith at quarterback. They're
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: obviously a fraud. Real football people know that they're not
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: trying to win in Seattle. And it's not that Gino
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is terrible, he's just not good, right, He's not good.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows it. And so Seattle's okay being a happy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: faux contender. Right, they're a faux contender, and they don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have a lot of importance in the NFL. You know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it's not a lot of influence from Seattle right now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because everyone knows they're a fraud in terms of actually
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: trying to win. And again, they're not terrible, they're just okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and they'll will win seven or eight games a year,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and you can't really take them seriously and all that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: stuff and DK Metcalf is a luxury item for a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: team that's not trying to win like Seattle. Again, they're
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: not trying to be a worst team. They're not trying
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to be the Cleveland Browns, right, they'll only be the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. There the Tennessee Titans. But at the same time,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they're not trying to be what Kansas City has been
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: or Philadelphia teams like that. And so dk Metcalf is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: like driving a Porsche if you're Seattle, but you're going
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to eat at the soup kitchen having dk metcal like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what's the point? You know, it's like, it's kind of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. And so you look at the Chiefs and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Bills in particular, I know Green Bay. You look
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: at the Chiefs and the Bills, and the Bills have
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the thirtieth pick in the draft. Kansas City's at number
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: thirty one. So if you're drafting at the end of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the first round and you can get a proven commodity,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and then there's some debate about how proven dk Metcalf
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is because he has been marginalized in the Seattle Seahawks offense.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And you look around and the end of last year
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was the dead give away, Dad giveaway that likely this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is not going very well if you're looking to get
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: paid a massive amount of money as a wide receiver.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The final nine games of the twenty twenty four regular season,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: dk Metcalf averaged six targets a game over the final nine.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He's a twenty five million dollars a year guy getting
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: six targets a game. The math ain't mathing on that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's just not And you would think if he went
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to a team like Kansas City or Buffalo, assuming that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the issue is not him and the issues what we
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: think it is Geno Smith and the incompetent Boobs running
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, that dk Metcalf could go next level, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: next level on a bigger stage with a better coaching
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: staff and a better quarterback to play with. Now, page two,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we mentioned the transaction that happened over the weekend, many
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: wondering how is that possible?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Why were the Washing and Commanders able to get Deebo
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Samuel for peanuts pennies on the dollar from the forty
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: nine ers and many stunned by this. I've already seen
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: predictions that the Washington football team is now the team
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to beat in the NFC that they have now used
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: surp Philadelphia, which seems a bit premature to me, Just
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a bit premature to me. So, uh, what's the line?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The the market sets the price, right, the market sets
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the price. So let's try to break this down unscientifically
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: because we're doing talk radio. So, for better or worse,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, his career is where not in the toilet,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: His career is in the twilight zone. Do do do
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Do do doo. Yeah, it's the gap between perception and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: reality with Deebo Samuel. And I'll rephrase that for those
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of you that have had too many octails and you're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a little slow. Deebo's got the name. He does not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: happen to have the game. The game is lacking at
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: this point. Now the low information fan, many of them
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: raising a hullabaloo about this. I can't believe Washington got
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this guy. It's not fair. Oh my god, Jayden Daniels
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: gonna take off with Deebo sam Oh blah blah blah
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: blah blah. All that right, all that noise. So you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: do not grasp one small thing, which is kind of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a big thing. If you look at the full body
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of work from Deebo Samuel, this concept is over yet.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the full body work Deebo
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Samuel is the pink fong one hit wonder baby Shark.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Remember baby Shark from a few years ago. Yeah, that's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: essentially what Deebo Samuel is. He's baby Shark. He's a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: one hit wonder and during the twenty twenty one season outstanding,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he was a maestro on the field. In fact, Deebo
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Samuel had seventeen hundred and seventy yards all purpose from scrimmage.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: From scrimmage, he had fourteen touchdowns. He was an All Pro.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That's that's good. That's not playing water balloon toss at
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. That's all Pro. That's that's great, First
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: team All Pro. He averaged eighteen yards per catch. Game
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: breaker mode, absolute game breaker mode. And then Deebo has
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: gotten progressively worse. He hit rock bottom last season. He
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: went from seventeen hundred and seventy yards from scrimmage to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and six and he only had four touchdowns
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: last season. Now the numbers on this Deebo's yardage has
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: gone down fifty four point four percent from his peak
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and his touchdowns by seventy one percent. And now you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: know why the forty nine ers. Also money was involved,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: But now you know why the forty nine ers were
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: giving Deebo away for next enough, cause what you're getting
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in Washington is next nothing. Now is he going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: have this great come to Jesus moment and this epiphany
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and take off? At this point, all we know Demo
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: brings to Washington is the ability to walk out of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the locker room with a boom box and be the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: coolest guy in the stadium. Now, when the game starts,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that aura goes away because he's he's unable to get
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: separation from defensive backs. And that's a problem, the rapid decline.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: That's how you end up getting traded for a fifth
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: round draft pick. But I digress all right, Now, last
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: word to the QB shuffle. You gotta do the QB shuffle.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It's all about the QB shuffle. So Justin Fields and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, they were both in Pittsburgh last year. Are
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they going to be back in Pittsburgh this year? Probably not?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: One of them will be gone. And the latest scuttle
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: butt over the weekend is that Justin Fields has a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: slight edge, a slight edge over miss unlimited Russell Wilson
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: with the Steeler brass there, So what do you make
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of the current state of the quarterback situation for the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Insers in Pittsburgh. So the word is gloomy. The word
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is gloomy for these Steelers in the quarterback position. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: our friend Sean the hood guy, he knows this. He's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a Steeler apologist, and he knows this. And here's why
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, who always are in contention for a playoff spot,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the Steelers have a blank spot, continue to have a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: blank spot. You look at their Bingo card right there
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: under center, blank spot, right where it says quarterback. Justin
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: fields is not the answer. Now, that's not my opinion
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that justin fields is not the answer. That is the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: opinion of Mike Tomlin. What is my supporting evidence. Mike
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Tomlin started justin fields last year because Russell Wilson was
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: supposedly hurt to begin the So Tomlin fought so little
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of justin fields that when Russ was ready to go,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: he played him. Okay, so well, fine, well he played Russ.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: But then when Russ started riding the vomit comment in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at the end of the year, he well, why
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: didn't you bench him? They could have gone back to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: justin fields. But Tomlin sought. He fought so little, fought
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: so so little of Fields that he went with the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: thirty six year old Russell Wilson, and Russ was pooping
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: his diaper on a weekly basis for the Steelers, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: at no point did they switch back. Now, my advice
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: here for the Pittsburgh Steelers is to say, hey, Justin
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Fields and Russell Wilson, thank you both for your service.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: We have a nice partning gift. We'd like you to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: walk down the dusty Winnemucke Road and get out of here.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Fields can go play for the Jets. He'd be the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: perfect Jets quarterback. He filled with Chicago, filled with Pittsburgh.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Go to the Jets. That's three strikes. You're out of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and Russell Wilson can go. I don't know
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the Giants thinking about duke it out in the Battle
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of New York or go to the Cleveland Browns. It
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But Mike Tomlin, at this point you might
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: as well just open a few the Steelers. You open
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: up a kissing booth, because you got to kiss a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: lot of frogs before you find that Prince. Right. Ben
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Roethlisberger last played in twenty twenty one. Since then, there
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have been a line, a conga line of of really
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks, Mason Rudolph, Kenny Pickett, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And it's on to the next, It's on to the next.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: The now. For pure entertainment, we endorse Aaron Rodgers because
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that's good for the business. And I'm in the business
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of entertainment, so why not past expiration date? Yes, Aaron
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Rodgers has passed his expiration date, but he would be
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: good for talk radio, and that's really what I'm worried about.
• 14:49

  Speaker 1: other nights, the greatest night and overnight sports radio, the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Benny Awards. Nobody else has this. We're the only ones.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Everyone wants this content, even at the over coast to coast.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I saw George Norri in the parking lot in the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I saw his car. I bet you no is like,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: instead of talking about goblins, we could talk about the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Beny Awards, but they're not gonna do it. So we'll
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: get to that coming up in a little bit. But
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the Scouting Combine. Yes,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that's right, the Scouting Combine in beautiful downtown Indianapolis. All
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: quiet on the Jerry Front, not the Western Front, the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Jerry Front there is a difference. So the weekend has
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: come and gone. Now there is a little bit left here,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a little spillover on a Monday. But for the most part,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the scouting combine is pretty much done. Skis most executives,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: most exactecutives, general managers and the vice presidents of football
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: ops and those type of things speak to reporters and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of podiums set up in Indianis now.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones in the past is like taking people out
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to the party bus where you know, things happen, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: we're not supposed to talk about those things. So but
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones this year, the reason I'm bringing this up,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones made an executive decision to not talk during
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the scouting combine, and by not talking, Jerry Jones created
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a story. By not talking, it's a story some Some
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: are wondering whether the cowboys, how about them cowboys are
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: up to something and Jerry Jones has decided to stay
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: on the down low here total secrecy because of something
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: developing behind the scenes, and doesn't want to mess that up.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Jerry Jones did not
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: meet with the media at the NFL scouting combine this
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: weekend in Indianapolis. Is this a big deal, a little deal?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Or no deal? All right, that's the question. I've got billboards, slogan,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: proxy war, and algebra. We'll combine all of these things together,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna make the Gaba Ghoul. We're gonna make
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the Gaba gool is what we're gonna make. All right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: So number I said number, this is not a big deal.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It is not a little deal. It is not no deal.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It is a Cyclops deal, which I believe a Syclops
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: with the one eye is bigger than a big deal.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: All Right. It's large, is what I'm trying to say.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you. It's large. The only thing
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones loves more about the more in life than
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys is Jerry Jones talking about the Cowboys into
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: microphones and cameras and all that. So why didn't he speak?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Is there more to the story. The popular theory, as
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we've laid out for you, The popular theory is by
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: popular people that Jerry Jones has been muzzled. But how
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: would you muzzle Jerry Jones? He owns the team, He's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the GM because he owns the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are supposed to be working on some shock and awe trade.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: How many times have we heard this before where it
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Now, what the Cowboys should be doing is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: trading Dak Prescott because he stinks that's what Jerry should
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: be doing. And if you don't want to talk about
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it for whatever reason, that's fine, But that's the move
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you make. Yet, trade Dak Prescott because you're not going
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to the Promised Land with Dak Prescott. That's not happy.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Now others are saying, wow, no, it's Michael Parsons. There's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: something going on with Michael Parsons and there's gonna be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: some kind of surprise trade involving him or a mystery
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: deal involving someone else. But either way, either way, for
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: our purposes, radio silence, Radio siunce. And it's the billboard
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: slogan loose lip torpedo trades. It's a new slogan. They
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: just came up with it. But if Jerry Jones starts
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: blabbing to reporters, it becomes problematic. Now. The good news
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is either Dallas makes a big trade or they make
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: up the fact that they could have made a big trade,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but it fell apart the last minute, but either way
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: we'll get content. We are told Jerry Jones's scheduled to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: speak in a couple days at a retirement ceremony for
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: one of his former players there on Wednesday. Now page two,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: we go to Viva Las Vegas, Lost Wages, Nevada, where
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Mouthwash Mike is roaming the streets of Vegas there getting
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: ready to jump into the Blagio fountains or who knows
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: where else but the Raiders co owner Tom Brady apparently
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of Sam the man who's not
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the man Sam Darnold or any of the other available quarterbacks.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out mister unlimited and justin field. All right, So
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the reporting is that the Raiders got spurned by Matthew Stafford.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: They need a quarterback, they don't have a quarterback. They
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: got to find a quarterback. They got to get a quarterback.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But yet Tom Brady not high on Sam Donald the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: other available free agent quarterbacks. What is your appraisal of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this one? While it is possible this is the old
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: okie doke and Brady does like one of these Jibbroni's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: playing quarterback based on what I have seen of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: available quarterbacks, I would agree that you should stay away.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They've all got cooties, They've all got coody. Tom Brady,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I would think, knows suck when he sees suck. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: for someone that seemed to always have that clutch gene
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in Tom Brady, Sam Donald is the antithesis of that, right,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He's the glitch. Sam Donald. These fools gold as the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Vikings found out last year justin fields As failed with
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a bad team and a mediocre team the Bears and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. So you've got that the available quarterbacks
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: are the runt of the litter. They are the runs
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: of the litter there. And if you go down at
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady and his early resume, you look at Tom
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Brady's early resume with the Raiders, and you're not supposed
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to say the quiet part out loud. Tom Brady is
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: in a proxy war, and Tom Brady is losing the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: GM by proxy battle with the Raiders. What is my
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: supporting evidence, Well, tom Brady wanted to hire Ben Johnson
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: as the Raiders coach. They got rid of Antonio Pierce, who,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, Mark Davis wanted to keep even though
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the Raiders were bad last year. Mark Davis is like,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: let's give this guy a fair shot. We'll bring back
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Antonio Piers. Tom Brady's like, no, I can hand deliver
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you Ben Johnson from the Lions. So they got rid
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of Antonio Pierce, and Ben Johnson said, screw you. I'd
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: rather eat deep dish pizza in chicag And so he
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: left and the Raiders were left holding the bag. And
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: so then they had to hire the oldest coach in
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the NFL, Pete Carroll. Well, I think Pete Carroll will
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: do a fine job. That is not who tom Brady wanted,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the cachet of Tom Brady. As you get who you want,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: he didn't get the coach he wanted, and now he
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: whined and dine Matthew Stafford at a city slickers like
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: snow resort in Montana, only to be turned down by Stafford,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: who left money on the table over the weekend to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: go back to the Rams. No question whether he would
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: be willing to do that. He's made an ungodly amount
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of money playing quarterback for the Lions and the Rams,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and Stafford turned down more money from both the Giants
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: and tom Brady's Raiders. To go back to Los Angeles.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And so now you talk about the double Whammie. You
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: don't get the quarterback you want it, you don't get
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the coach you wanted. And now the Raiders are stuck
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: between the devil and the deep blue c They gotta
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: find a quarterback, and the draft class is pretty weak.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: The free agents stink, and so my advice, you gotta pivot.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Now there's a name I like that no one else
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: is talking about. I'm the only one talking about this guy,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Jake Browning. Oh you've lost your mind, malor what are
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you smoking the good stuff? No? I like the player
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I played a little bit. Joe Burrow got hurt a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: couple of years back, and I would rather take a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: flyer on a guy like that than any other Schmendricks
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. That is possible that the Raiders
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: will end up drafting Shudhar Sanders, who is projected by
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the Way as a second round pick or a third
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: round pick, but could draft him at number six overall
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: in the draft just because they got to get somebody.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: They got to get somebody to sell to the natives
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: there that everything's okay, and good luck, good luck on
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that all right, now, final point. We heading now to
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the swamp land of New Jersey. We're doing the shuffle,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver shuffle. You've gotta do the shuffle. So
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: what are the chances that the Jets find a trade
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: partner to deal away Devonte Adams. He's on the clock.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Some new reporting over the weekend, we are told that
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Deavonte Adams can't be yours yet again if the price
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: is right. That was the big chatter at the scouting combine.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So the Malar odds, you asked, what are the odds
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that Davonte Adams is traded by the Jets in the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: near future. Malard Sportsbook odds at plus five thousand. That
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: implies a less than two percent chance. A less than
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: two percent chance. Now, why is that? It's the malarmath
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: in this case? It's algebra. Okay, it's algebra. Why would
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: anyone trade for Devonte Adams when you can just wait
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and then he'll be let go by the Jets. They're
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: not gonna keep him. He'll be on the free agent market.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Devonte Adams is thirty two. The athletic prime ends at
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: thirty two, so he's at the very end of his
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: athletic prime. He's lost about a half a step as
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the crow flies about a half a step. Still effective,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: but not as dominating, not anywhere near as dominating as
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: he had been back in his salad days with the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and the Jets. It's all about the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: cat now. Remember I'm a salary cap truther, So you
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: want to get rid of somebody, you'll find a reason
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to get. The logistics on this is that the Jets
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: will save like thirty million dollars almost against the cap
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and thirty eight million in the in total value by
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: trading or releasing Adams. But they had to do it
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: by June first, So just wait if you want Davonte Adams,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: just waiting, that'll be that Adams will likely follow his
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: bestie Aaron Rodgers. Wherever Aaron Rodgers gos DeVante, Adams will follow.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: And if Rogers doesn't play anywhere, then where does he go?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He followed Derek Carr of Cars with the Saints or
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. I still don't believe Car's gonna be with
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the Saints, but that decision's coming up here in a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: couple of days.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Meller
