  Speaker 1: in the competition for the starting job. Also, TJ. Watt

  Speaker 1: but no deal as of yet. What's going on with this?

  Speaker 1: coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond on

  Speaker 1: the vast and beautifully powerful microphones of fsre am modinating
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: live from the table. The big table read the Fox
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios as approved by j D in Boston,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: forty years, it's a long time Tire Iraq has been
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: where they drive, ship fast and free back by free
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: installation that's approved by Double Low Mexican in San Diego
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and mister nice Guy tire rack dot Com the way
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that tire buying show. So our lead this hour is
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: from football. There's no football, Well it's actually from Cleveland
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: where they haven't had football since Jim Brown played. Well
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: maybe Bernie Kozar, good old Bernie back in the but
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's been a while. It's been a while. So the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Browns are bad. They're not boring. Though, you can be
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: bad as long as you're interesting, and so the Browns
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: are bad interesting as a posed to bad and boring
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Killer Bees. You can't be both. So to prove
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: my point, take a look at the burgeoning quarterback Battle Royale,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: which for my purposes is picture perfect. Now we know
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: whoever wins. The job is going to suck as the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Browns quarterback. We know that to be true. But Cleveland's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: got a very crowded, very busy quarterback room. Now Here
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: are the actors. You've got Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: rookie Shooter Sanders. Also Dylan Gabriel, another rookie. And so
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: those guys are the new actors, Kenny Pickett, Gabriel, and Sanders.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Now Flacco was there, he had left and now he's back,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: so they're all kind of new. They're all kind of new,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: but somewhere old and all that. Now one storyline stands
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: out head and shoulders above all the rest, which is
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: really good talk radio and really good talk radio. So
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that would be I believe he's forty now. Joe Flacco
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: elite quarterback. Joe flaccom ever in sports talk radio conversation
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: back in the day, is Joe Flacco an elite quarterback?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Well he was for a month and a half, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that's all he had to beat to get a big contract.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He was elite for a month and a half. Jump
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Ball Joe used to call him. Jump ball Joe just
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: throw the ball up and let the receiver jump get
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that pass interference call first down for the old ball
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Timore Ravens. So. Forty year old Joe Flacco is by
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: far the oldest of the quarterback room those that are
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the competition. But he does not, he will not.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He wants nothing to do with the very thought that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he is going to go in there and mentor the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: young quarterbacks for the Cleveland football team. Flacco, you see this, No,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't see this. So Flacco has said this in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the past, but he doubled down on it yet again.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Flacco made it perfectly clear at the Browns OTAs that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: organized team activities that he is solely focused on winning
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the starting job for the Browns and that he's not
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: worried about helping anyone out and make them a better
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: player and all that stuff. Now, this, as you might imagine,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: has not gone over well. There is nothing that upsets
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a high percentage of sports blowhards and gas bags than
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a quarterback saying I am not going to help some
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: other young quarterback. I am not going to be a mentor.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I am not going to teach them all of my secrets.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: This drives people nuts. In the media. You get very upset.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss the question on this one. We're gonna
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: frame it like this. Why we'll get to the white
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Why are people so upset with Joe Flacco for saying
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: he is not a mentor in the Browns quarterback competition.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So I've got Mickey Mouse, cliff notes, and bubble wrap,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a tissue so we can
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: clean out those I buggers. You know when you sleep,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: eat that dried mucus and clean that out, all right?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So number I said number on my theory as to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: why people have been worked into a lather because Joe
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Flacco is not willing to give his wisdom away to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: someone else, It's because many generations of sports fans have
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: been indoctrinated. It's kind of like the NCUBA. They would say, hey,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's a student athlete, which was a term they made
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: up to get out of paying a worker's comp claim.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So they just cooked up the term as a weasel
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: term student athlete. They were never athletes or never students.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They were athletes. They were the top football and basketball players.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So they came up with that and they just kept
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: using it in all the marketing and dumb people say, oh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they should it. It must be true. They're student athletes. Well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: over the years, as observers of sports, we have been taught,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we've been indoctrinated. If you're an older player, you have
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to give away all your secrets, all your secrets to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: someone younger than you. That's the way it works. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: so Flacco, he has been called, among other things, tone deaf,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: tone deaf, joe, outdated, boomer, old head, embarrassing, all those things.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: These dopes who believe that mentoring is part of the job.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They believe that mentoring is part of the job, whether
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you like it or not, period, end of story. There's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that believe that. And we say,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: we have an unpopular opinion. Not so fast, my friend,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: unpopular opinion alert Joe Flacco and I went back and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I checked. When he agreed to return to the Browns,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was not was not hired as a camp counselor.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He was not a career counselor. When he was hired,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he was brought back to Cleveland as wait for it,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, a contingency plan, not a muse for Shader Sanders.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And so the people that are flustered, they're bedraggled that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco would dare say this. I love his honesty,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that's my first I love his honesty my first thought.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And the people that are really upset, they're projecting this
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: into some kind of hokey Disney movie where you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it's a Mickey Mouse idea. It's a Mickey Mouse idea
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that the veteran has to do this. You're romanticizing and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you're not living in reality. Like, in what other business
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: does that happen? Is there another business that that happened?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know one, and you don't owe anyone mentorship. Now,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: if Joe Flacco decides he wants to do it, that's fine.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That's on him. And if he doesn't want to do it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that's also perfect. Finef Cleveland wants to hire Joe Flacco
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback coach and pay him an extra salary
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback coach, and he's okay with it. He's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: fine with it. Oh fine, otherwise, forget about it. Forget
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: about it, right, Joe Flacco, he said the quiet part
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: out loud, and he's just keeping it real. Now, speaking
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of keeping it real, lot of noise coming out of Pittsburgh.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Not about Aaron Rodgers. This is not an Aaron Rodgers monologue.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Notice not. However, it is about another big name and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: more reporting over the last few hours here that there's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: an expectation the team that sells terrible towels, the Petsburg Steelers.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh a rival, I say rival of the Browns,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but the Browns lose to the Steelers all the time,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: so not really much of a rival. And when the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Browns win once every couple of years, they celebrate like
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they've won the Super Bowl, like they did remember the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: snow game in Cleveland. Yeah, anyway, So the expectation is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that linebacker t J. Watt will have a new contract
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: agreement with the Black and Yellow Black and Yellow, Black
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and Yellow prior to the start of the regular season.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That's going to happen. So now TJ. Watt, we know
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: there is a big money off for big money, big money,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: big money, no way may stop. So there's big money
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: off on the table from the Pittsburgh Steelers, but no
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: deal yet. There is no deal yet. So what is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: going on with this situation? You got reports saying it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Much like the Aaron Rodgers story. There's an offer, there's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: big money, but no deal. But we're focusing in on TJ. Watts,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So what is going on here? So it's rather clear
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on this one that the offer is big and you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: know that came from the Steelers. That didn't come from TJ.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Watts camp. That came from the Steelers. They use their
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: useful idiots in the media to get that message out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It's a big offer. It's not big enough. And now
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: how do I know that? Well, I am a distant
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: relative of Nostre Damis and friend of no Strudinis. He
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: lives in Seattle, although it did not come to the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: meet and greet in Vancouver, which is just a relative
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: short drive from Seattle. So not a big friend of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: mine anymore because he did not make the trip. But anyway,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that aside, all right, as a relative of Nostradamis and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: friend of Nostradina's the offer not big enough because nothing
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: has been signed. There's no docu sign, not a crickets.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: It's a we'll see situation. It's a we'll see what's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: going on? Situation now? What is following the outline to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a t the cliff notes on how to let the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: world know you are not happy and you're belly aching.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You want more money, you want to weaponize the fan
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: base to attack the team. And he's following all of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the key points. He's checking all the boxes. What are
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the boxes? Skip OTAs, check dropping cryptic Instagram posts that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: can be interpreted multiple ways. Check check. Deputizing his brother
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a relative in this case, JJ Watt to publicly nudge
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the team to get a bigger offer, which is akin
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to pouring gas on the fire. Check check check. But wait,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: there's more. You've now created a media circus. Check check,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: check check. That's four checks, so we get it. TJ.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Watt has been the last several years in Pittsburgh. He's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: not just your normal generic brand player. He has been
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a game changer. In fact, you would argue he is
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the most famous player on the Steelers, and it's really
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not even close. They don't have anyone that's that famous
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: on all offense down. They could get Aaron Rodgers, they
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: likely will, but Rogers is old. He's washed up. He's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: more worried about where his next dose of ayahuasca is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: coming from than his next big win. And so you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: got a guy, here's a game shit big time players,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: we said, and the identity of that team and someone
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that it would appear wakes up in the morning and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he does not eat a normal breakfast. He just like
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: eats offensive lineman for breakfast. Offensive tackles. He just enjoys that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And the only reason, the only reason that there would
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: be any kind of hesitation for the Pittsburgh Steelers here
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is because of the age. TJ. Watt is thirty. He's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries because he's a football player,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of bumps and bruises. It's like, well, he's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: only gonna get hurt more. There's a lot of money,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but you can't not sign him because if you have, boy,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you're screwed either way. You're damned if you do, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're damned if you don't. All right, final point, we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: stay in the Keystone State, but we go all the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: way across and I've made that drive. I've made I've
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: made the drive from Philly to Pittsburgh. Beautiful country, beautiful forest,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: not a lot in between, not like one big city
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in between. That's it. Anyway. So running back, Sequon Barkley,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the cover boy for Madden NFL twenty six, that report
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was announced that Sequon Barkley he's got a deal. So question,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: should the marching and shouter society of the Eagle fan base,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the Neanderthal fan base of the Philadelphia Eagles be concerned
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: about the hecks? Should they be concerned about the hecks?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So I'll answer this by nodding my head aggressively. You
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube. I'm yes,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I'm nodding my head aggressively. Yes, because what they have
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: done is put the Voodoo Bugaloo right on top of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley and also the Lombardi Trophy. You might as
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: well bubble wrap Barkley right now. Put Sequon in bubble wrap.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Why the double whammy? You've got the double whammy. Now,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: let's start with the time tested in Madden cover jins.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: He said, well, it's only happened a few times. So
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if you look at the data and you go back
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in the modern era of the Madden game, we have
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of data that confirms this is not just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: urban legend, this is not just folklore. There's a there there.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: There's a Bermuda triangle situation here, and if you you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do the math on it, since nineteen ninety nine, that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a long time. That's a generation. So the last generation
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: with the Madden game, that's twenty six years a little
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: over generation. Since nineteen ninety nine, what percentage of the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Madden cover athlete has suffered a serious injury the season
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they appeared on the cover the following season? You have
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You have a guess. Is it you think it's A
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: thirty percent, B ten percent or C five percent or
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: D none of the above? All right? Since night lock?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Your answer, don't cheat? Do not cheat? All right? Everybody
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: says D none of the above. The answer sixty point
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: seven percent. Sixty seven percent. You just said, if if
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I told you to invest in something that paid back
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: sixty percent dividends, Holy crap, you'd be rich. Sixty a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: six hundred batting average sixty point seven percent of Madden
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: cover athletes since nineteen ninety nine, there have been twenty
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: eight seventeen out of the twenty eight set because a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: couple of years they had more than one. Seventeen out
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of the twenty eight have suffered injuries the season following
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the cover appearance. Most recently Christian McCaffrey, and I remember
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: doing this very monologue last year. Christian McCaffrey found himself
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt anymore over the Niners. McCaffrey the latest. He
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: missed forty nine er games, multiple games in the twenty
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: twenty four season. He missed the first game because of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: an achilles' injury and then missed the last several games
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of the regular season with knees brands. But even when
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: he was playing, he had multiple injuries and missed chunks
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of games. You want hundred, so you mix in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: fact now I mentioned the double whammy, so you've got
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the time tested and Madden Jinx the Voodoo Bugaloo. So
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you've got that. But then also you have the fact
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that Sakwan Barkley went out last season and let's just
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: call it like it is. He painted the starry Night
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: last season in Philadelphia. It was a work of art.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It was a masterpiece that he put together and wasn't
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: all him. Was the offensive line hurts. It was a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: cacophony of amazing plays in the backfield. So what happens
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: after you paint your starry night and the next couple
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of paintings not that good, so expect a regression to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the mean. A regression to mean extreme outcomes are followed
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: by more moderate ones. Yeah, so that is code for
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the data evens out, which means Barkley is going to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: go down. His performance will not be as good. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: then you've got the self fulfilling prophecy of the Madden
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Hex the jinx that has been put on. We'd also
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: like to alert all the affiliates that every TV in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the building is updating. There is new software, So every
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: monitor that we have here is updating downloading software. Please wait,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: do not interrupt. So I'm glad they're doing it. Why
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: don't they do that during the day. Why do they
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: only do it at night? I don't understand. The computers
• 18:34

• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in some legal trouble back in his native land, and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: it turns out that he had been canoodling I guess
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: more than cannodling with an underage girl and the family.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: He went to the authorities and all that, and the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Rays put him on the knotty list, the suspended list.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So he's been stuck in this weird spy was not
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: He's not suspended. He's not playing suspended animation, I guess
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: is the way that it would be described. Anyway. We

  Speaker 1: with Matra Ben, Okay, that is wrong. The correct answer

  Speaker 1: A fine Canadian lad Larry Walker with the Colorado Rockies
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: back in the day nineteen ninety seven. It's how about
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that to the third degree?

  Speaker 2: This is one big then gets grail all.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Right, thirty three? Time here cool.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: The Arizona Cardinals took a step forward as a team
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: last year, winning eight games, but still were not able
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: to make the playoffs. Ben, the over underwin total in
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Vegas for the Cardinals is set to eight and a half.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Does Arizona take another step forward?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: No, and they don't because they don't have a quarterback.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Alligator arms, Murray, you know what you're gonna get. Alligator arms.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Murray falls apart. He's good for about seven or eight weeks,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and then the last part of the year his body
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: falls apart. He's not productive. It's happened year after year.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: So they'll be a middling team until they get a
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: real quarterback, not a fun sized quarterback.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Next, yesterday you talked about how the Knicks overachieved to
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: get as far as they did in these playoffs.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Now, Ben, what moves do they need to make in
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: order to get to the next level. Well, the obvious
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: one would be to get Yiannis, and there's rumors that
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: New York. We talked about Toronto, but the NBA would
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like Giannis to play with the Knickerbockers. The problem is,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the whole dynamic is Jalen Brunson. He is the head
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: of the pyramid and he's not gonna want to take
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a back seat to giannisident to Kombo. So they're gonna
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: have to find other support players that don't vanish, like
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: og and Enobi and some of these other guys that
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: at times just disappeared. Next.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Now, the Basketball Hall of Fame seems to let everyone in,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: but apparently not. Robert or TMZ caught up with Ori
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: this past weekend, who told him that he belongs in there,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: does he, Ben.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Well, he does only because it's the Basketball Hall of Fame.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: If it was the Baseball Hall of Fame, you'd say
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely not. But in basketball, you look at who's in there.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, I think alf the Alien Opiner was inducted
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and nobody noticed. But yeah, Robert,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Robert Orri had seven or eight of the biggest shots
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: in his era of the NBA. Absolutely, how did we
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: know he passes on board? That's so rare. I won Poppy.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I won Poppy.
