  Speaker 2: not want to play for the Jazz and was drafted
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: by Utah? Also, now that the first round of the

• 0:26
  Speaker 2: or no chance that Jalen Brown is traded by the Celtics.

  Speaker 2: And how would you sum up the ESPN coverage of
• 0:34

• 1:39

• 1:58
  Speaker 2: The way tire buying be so our lead this hour,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we'll play the hits, play the head small Man, We'll
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: go to pro Bouncy Ball, and we start out in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn and there is more fallout from the twenty twenty
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: five draft.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love this story. This is such a great story.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So not another monologue about Cooper Flagg, who was the headliner.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: He went to the mav Res with the number one pick.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Charlie the Dallas Dumper is very excited about that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But another story that has some legs involves Ace Bailey. Now,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Ace Bailey sounds like a baseball player from the nineteen forties.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Ace ba sounds like a fake name, but I'm told
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it's a real name. So Ace Bailey, you did not
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: follow along, and chances are you did not. Perhaps you
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: missed it. So Ace Bailey did not want to get
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: drafted by the Utah Jazz. In fact, he only wanted
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to play for one of three teams. Now, Bailey declined
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to work out for the Utah basketball team, and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Jazz were not one of his destinations. He was hoping
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to get picked by the Washington basketball team known as
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the Wizards, the New Orleans team known as the Pelicans,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: or the Brooklyn team known as the Nets.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Those are the teams you want to fliver.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Me point out, in the history of the NBA, no
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: one has said they want to play for Washington, New
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Orleans and Brooklyn.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He's the first guy to have those three teams.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Anyway, he wanted to play for those teams, and he
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: was trying to Jerry rig the draft. He was trying
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to manipulate the draft, and so he had this whole plan.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He wasn't working out for anyone. So Danny Ainge came
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in and his net Bo baby, his Netbo son, Austin Age,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: who got the job because his last name is Ange
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and his dad runs the Utah Jazz. So Danny Age
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: is like, I don't give a damn. I don't If
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: you don't want to play for the Jazz, I don't care.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: They determined that Ace Bailey was the best available player
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: at the number five pick in the draft. So, once
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: regarded as a top three player, Ace Bailey was available
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: with the fifth pick, and abra cadabra hokus pocus, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Utah Jazz surprise, surprise, surprise pick the player that didn't
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: want to.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Play for them.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question what message did Danny
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Ainge and his kid representing the Utah Jazz send to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Ace Bailey? All right, so that is the question on
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this one. I've got Harmonica Vespa and if that was
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: not enough, we've also got the Magnum Opus and we
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: going to make a.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Delicious, delicious cookie Sunday, which is my go to.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That is my go to, the cookies mixed with the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: ice cream and the oh.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: My god, so good.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: All right, So number one, Danny Ainge, what he did
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: here is he didn't send Ace baileia text message.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He didn't do that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He didn't send him a nice gift package of care package.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: There was no fruit basket from Danny Ainge that included
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: like a you know, a pair of headphones or some
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: handwritten note.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: There was none of that. No, no, no, no no.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Danny Ainge sent him a draft card and on the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: draft card was the number eight four one one that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is the zip code of the Delta Center in Salt
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Lake City, and a ice bucket of reality.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, I love it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's always annoyed me. If you've been with the show
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a long time. Years ago, the New York Giants drafted
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a quarterback named Eli mann Whether it was actually the Chargers,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: there was a trade, but Eli Manning because of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Manning first family of football bull crap. They manipulated the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: draft because Eli didn't want to play in San Diego
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and they went to the Giants in awesome. So it
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: always annoyed me. We nicknamed him the Punk. It's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: punk move.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know, it's an honor to be drafted.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You go, these are all big cities in America or Canada,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: go there, you play, you're happy, whatever. So it always
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: annoys me when people try to rig the draft and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: so most of the time they get away with it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Most of the time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: This is an example of it not working that Ace
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Bailey thought he had power that he did not have.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: This is Danny Ains writing a note saying, dear Ace,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I don't give a damn where you preferred to play.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You're working for me now, Love you, uncle Danny. That's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: essentially what he wrote, right. I mean, you tried to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: play the NBA Draft, and the NBA Draft played you.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You're not in aau ball anymore.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't care whether you were sliding into pat
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Riley's dms or whatever, you know, hoping for bikinis, coconuts
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and palm trees. You're going to Utah. I hope you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like the mountains. I hope you like the Great Salt Lake.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: The Mormon Tabernacle. Dinner reservations at eight thirty because the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: restaurant closes at nine, and if you try to find
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: night life, I think anything after ten you might want
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to get your own harmonica out. Maybe there's a CVS open, possibly, possibly,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And if you really want to go wild and have
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: an adult beverage, it's strawberry milk. It's strawberry milk, now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Danny Ainge and his kid are announced. They're not there
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to make friends, right, They're looking to take an undervalued asset.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: They thought this guy was a top two or three pick.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: They got him at number five. So they're essentially doing
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: some day trading.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And if Ace.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Bailey really wants to get out of Utah, then you've
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: got to play, and you got to play well and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: prove that you're great, and then you'll you can then
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: have the leverage. At that point, you have the leverage,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the player has the leverage. The player then can force
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: his way out of a Utah Jazz uniform, but not
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: prior to that, right. So that's that's the situation there.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, Aacet Bailey's a stock. They're doing some
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: day trading and if he wants to cash out, he's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: got to perform. Well, that's the reality a right now.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Page two.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So the big rumor all day on Wednesday, which didn't happened.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: The Celtics were flirting with trading Jalen Brown really for.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: The last forty eight hours prior to the draft.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: However, at least on Day one of the draft, they
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: ultimately decided not to pull the trigger on any kind
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of blockbuster deal. So, now that the first round of
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the draft is over, is there a big chance, a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: little chance, or no chance that Jalen Brown is traded
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: by the Celtics now that the first round is over?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So my response on this one, there is a chance.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's not a big one and it's not a no chance,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: like more of a keep your eyes peeled just in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: case some kind of alert.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Comes in from Schams. And so it's.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That kind of a chance because Boston gave Jalen Brown,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was it three hundred million I believe, So he's a
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: basketball ferrari at a three hundred million dollar player, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: now they're wondering if they should trade him.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And if they trade him, what are they gonna trade
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: him for?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: A Vespa and a gift card from I don't Panera
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: bread or something.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: That's what you're gonnay for now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown is the last man standing on a suddenly
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: wobbly throne.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: The Celtics were the champs.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: They're not the chumps yet, but they're closer to being
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: chumps than they are champs at this particular moment. But
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum's on crutches. The Celtics are downsizing. They dump
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Drew Holiday and Chris topsporzingis they saved themselves two hundred
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: million dollars and they're so pathetic that the Boston fan,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of them are excited because the owners saved
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: money on the luxury tax.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I was not raised that way as a fan to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: be excited because the owners saved money. Like even here,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I love Fox Sports Radio. I've worked here pretty much
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: my entire adult life. Now it is my identity Fox
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio in my professional career. Do I get excited
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: when the company saves money?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I don't get excited. They should be excited. I don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: get excited for them. It's not like they give me
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: more money if they save money.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. And I don't even work for
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the Celtics ever a fan, you don't work for the Celtics.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's like the Celtics are trying to qualify for some
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: financial aid package, so they have to go below a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: certain threshold.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The temptation. And that's why the reason I can't.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Say it's completely over for Jalen Brown. The temptation in
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: these situations is to either go for the championship or
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: tear it down to the studs in how you have
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a house and you buy a house and it's a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: fixer upper, Well you can make it a mansion, or
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you can tear it all the way down, and then
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: you don't have the budget, so you have to wait.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And then eventually you build it back up, right, you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: build it back up. And so they could trade Jalen Brown.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: They could package him with a box of Canole's. I know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Blind Scott can pick up some Canolei's over there at
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the Bova's Bakery on the North End and.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Just see what they can get, you know, just see
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: what they can get, you know, just go for it
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Now, a final point, I am now going to be
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the critic. Well I'm kind of a critic anyway. It's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: kind of the gig.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So I did consume the product the NBA draft.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I was locked in first five picks, and then after
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: that I was watching baseball, flipping back and forth, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I still watched most of the draft.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: There's so much time between picks and with the baseball.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Games and the commercials I ended up watching I would
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: say seventy five percent of the product that was out
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: there for the NBA Draft. So question, how would you
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: sum up the ESPN coverage of the twenty twenty five
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: first round of the NBA Draft. So I on the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: notes app on my phone, I jotted down two words.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Two words comic relief. Okay, comic relief, and I think
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: we have some sow.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: We're gonna play here in a second, the worldwide leader
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: of whoopsies.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: They turned the NBA draft coverage into a blooper reel
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: with a budget I guess. I mean this was a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: masterclass on how to be standing under the basket wide
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: open and baba a layup, no defender in sight, no
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: defender insite. So let's start with a very awkward red
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: carpet moment, because you need a red carpet at a draft.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: They've been doing this for years.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: So the ESPN cameras were there, they had the graphics,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: they had everything ready to go, and they managed to
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: misidentify Cooper Flag, not once, but twice. Now, first they
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: slapped his name under Ace Bailey if I remember correctly. Then,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: in a really impressive display of consistency and broadcasting, they
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: called Dylan Harper Cooper Flag, which would not be a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: problem if those guys were not black. And Cooper Flag
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is a white guy who goofed. I've got to know, right,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So if you're keeping score at home, that's zero for
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: two on supposedly the face of the twenty twenty NBA draft.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So I know how this works, right. So somebody the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: ifb said, hey, we've got some b roll of Cooper flag,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: so introduce them. So then the talking head, who has
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: no clue what they're doing, they just repeat what they're told,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and then the b roll turns out to be the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: wrong b roll, and so then they said, well, that's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: not Cooper flag. Here's Cooper flag. So then they repeat
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it and then that's not Cooper flag either. Yeah, what
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they ought to do at this point, I'm given this
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: whole draft thing. They should just label everyone future Laker
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: if he's good, right, future Laker if he's good, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: then just that should be the chiron on every pig,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: because that's pretty much all the talking is now. That
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: was bad, however, the magnum opus. The magnum opus of
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the draft was courtesy of Malika Andrews. I think we
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: have the audio on this, as she confidently announced the
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Portland Trailblazers had selected who.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a list So.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: The Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward. Here this young man
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: with the ultimate bet on yourself story.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely Colin Cowhard. I started out I was in Portland.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: He actually radio there was in Vegas and went to ESPN,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: went to our place, big success or a story replaced
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the Tony Kornheiser on his radio show. So and I've
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: done some events with Cowhard over the years. I think
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I could post them up. But play that again. This
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: is a great pick by the Trailblazers. He certainly got
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: some name brand value and he's somebody's a household name
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for sports fans. And this what a pick by the Trailblazers.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And they got they got Colin Cowhard in What pick
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: was that was?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That was the eleventh pick? Take a listen again, this
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: is amazing.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward. Here, this is
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: a young man with the ultimate bet on yourself story.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It's amazing and and very Excitingly, the Atlanta Hawks drafted
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Rob Parker in the second round. So Rob was a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: little upset. He thought he should have been a first
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: round pick. He was very disappointed. Now Mike Harmon. Mike
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Harmon is still on the board, so he's still He's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: still on the board.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And somewhere in the suburbs of Chicago, where Cowherd now resides,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: he probably checked his phone and wondered if he had
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: been traded for a hot take to be named later
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: But it's it's wild that that draft coverage.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Which maybe it's always been bad, I don't know, it
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: just seems like it was worse this year. It's like
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a Disney Channel variety show or something like that. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: in general, it's it's this mishmash of is it the Bachelor?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Is it America's got talent?
• 15:46

  Speaker 1: Now back to the nonsense.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Back to it we go and truck or Joe from
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the Highways and Byways of America, writes in he says,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: why wasn't your name called I thought you were known
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: as moneyball Mallard.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: There you go. You have more upside than Cali. We're
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: damn right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Should have been picked a clear oversight there, bad job
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: by the NBA scouting community. The Clippers had the last
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: pick in the first round. They should have drafted. Should
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: have drafted me, Ike says Cooper. Flag's middle name is
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: red red Flag. Nature boy says Portland drafted Jim Rome.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, draft that right? If he said it, that's what
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: it is? Well, yeah, he said it must be true.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And I also understand that our old friend Tony Bruno
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: was picked by the seventy six ers in a surprising,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: surprising selection, and there was also an honorary pick. Papa
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Joe Chevalier was picked as he passed away, but he
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you know legends of sports radio, the Knicks drafted JT.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: The Bricks, so he was picked by the Knickerbockers.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Tom Looney was drafted by the I think he was
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: drafted by the Lakers, but they sent him immediately to.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: The G League, so he got sent down the year.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Who else do we have page down Scrooge rites and
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: says Ben, since Cowhard got picked by Portland, rumor has
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it that FS one is trading you to the Dodgers
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: since they need help in the bullpen.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Will your arm be ready to pitch the ninth inning?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: If Dave Roberts likes you in that spot, Well, if
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers offer me the proper amount of money, I
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: will listen.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: They can talk to me, they can talk to my rep.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: You know. There you go.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Freddie does say breaking news, the Clippers, the people's team,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: have drafted big Ben Malley.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very nice of them to do that, and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I would consider working for the Clips. I would absolutely
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: do that. So there you go. Amazing all the sports
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: radio nonsense.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: A chip in the q's right since says a plus
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: on the mat of the monologue, looks to me like
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the Celtics or pinching Pennies ownership may be assuming that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: their fans will show up even if the organization.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Isn't really trying anymore. But they're doing a hard reset
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: It's not a full reset, but I figure there's enough
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: people in Boston, there's enough season ticket holders of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Celtics that they can get that arena mostly full. Where
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it hurts is on the TV ratings. If the team's bad,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: people aren't watch. Fred in Nebraska, says Ace Bailey was
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: an NHL player in the sixties and seventies. So does
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Alf the alien ol Pliner there. I was on one
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: of the planes on nine to eleven. Yeah, I think
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I knew that Fred back in the day. I'm just
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: saying the name itself, Ace Bailey. The name sounds like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the way the I don't know. I think
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it was the old movie The Natural, the way that
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the broadcasters would do the play by play on the reels.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: They'd show these clips before movies of baseball, and you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I had a high pressure Bailey led the New York
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Yankees to a victory.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: You know, they had this weird delivery. And it just
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: sounds like one of those names, is what it sounds like.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones and who do we have?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Meaning miny ball.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Andre who's in the common I
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: was going to go to hollering James what he keeps
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: hanging up?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Hello Andre in the Commonwealth. Welcome, what's going on?
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: Ben?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Good to be with you? Yes, most certainly in the
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Commonwealth for his first night of the NBA Draft and
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: being in New England. We were certainly proud of one
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: mister Cooper Flag being drafted first overall, coming from the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: North country out there in Maine by all accounts, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: good kid coming from a basketball family.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Hold us that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Now, is he from Portland, Maine? What part of Maine
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: is Cooper Flag from what town?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: From Lewiston, Maine.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Specific Lewis Where is that? Now? How far up is that?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: How far up is that?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: For those that don't central, He's not up there near
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the Canadian border like Central, you know, south in Maine.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive though, from from the town of the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: middle of Maine to be drafted number one overall, that's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: It is impressive. You know, we got we got Hoopers.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: There's Hoopers up there. And it was cool because as
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: he was coming up through the ranks, he would get
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: down to New England. You here Willison the background. Willison,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: you know he is a fan of Cooper as well.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: But he would get down and I referee, as you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: so he would be at some of the local or
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: regional tournaments as a freshman. Uh and then of course
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: he transfers over to Montvert, Montbort Montvert having four players drafted.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: That's Kevin Boyle. Willis is really excited to get involved.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: But we got to we got to take care of business.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Because you asked the questions about the NBA draft, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I was thinking Andrew Bogut, but I can hear the
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: whole question because of course he's not an American born uha, No, no.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: No, Andrew Boget proud Aussie, right, Australia, right.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Right, So we had to go all the way back,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: but to the seventies.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: So that nteen nineteen seventy seven, and there's a great
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: clip that came back because Ken Benson he's drafted by
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the Bucks and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: He he elbowed Kareem, and Kareem gave him a good job.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah he did.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. The old world NBA that David Stern had
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: to come in and clean up. But he didn't. He
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: didn't clean it up before Robert Parris houcked off on
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Bill Lambier, as you will remember in many you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: dating myself, but still you know what I mean, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: what was not ejected didn't even I don't even if
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you got.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Toll and even that, I would argue the defining moment,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the point of demarcation for the NBA, where it really
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: changed was the Malice at the Palace.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Even before that, even you could get away with stuff.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: But at once the mouse the Palace happened with our
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: test and the Pacers punching Germaine O'Neil throwing punches at fans.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: That was it since then, and it's been a long
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: time and it's been been a number of years since
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: that happened, but that was the real defining moment where
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: everything changed.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, and couldn't you know that that was all bets
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: were off the Angels, Stern swooped, Dan ron Our Test
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: got a seventy five game suspension, the other players suspended,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and we were certainly we can't have that anymore. But
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: two years forcific question about Cooper Flax, I gotta say,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: first of all, yes, the NBA and their mercurial drafts,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you know where people send tend to get draft picks
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: where it's convenient for the player in the league, i e.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: You know Patrick Ewan going to New York, so that's
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: certainly in play now, gifting him as I see it,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to the Dallas Mavericks afterday couldn't leave well enough alone
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and gave away Luka Doncic. But I do think he
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: will be an All NBA player sooner rather than later,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: and that's based on the situation he's going to right
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Jason Kidd, you know, will put him in positions to
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: be successful even though he's in the Western Conference, So
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be a steady ride. There is a
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: question mark, and he's a good player, has a lot
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: of great attributes, and he's an athlete. I didn't I
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: didn't see the necessarily the explosiveness right the VJ. Edgecombe,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: who moved up the ladder board because Ash Bailey wants
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: to do things his way and he's on finn II
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, reminds me a lot of
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Lenny Cook, who people might remember he eight Bill needs
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: to get his act together. But VJ. Edgecombe right Cooper,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's explosive like some of these
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: other athletes, but he's a worker, he's highly skilled, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: he's the most important to me. He's going to a
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: good situation with Jason kidds so I think that he
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: will move on and be successful and be one of
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: these quote unquote faces of the league. And so what
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: we're pulling for him come up to New England and conclusion, Ben,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: we got aj Debansa who's a priud of Brockton, Massachusetts.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: He's the next one up. So we're Nabunan's so Richards
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: here in New England. So we're happy for Cooper from nine,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna be hearing a lot about Aj de
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Banta once again city champions Brockton, Massachusetts. And so we'll
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: keep the train going, Ben, thanks so much taking the car.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go, so I'm not checking in.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: All right, take you there you go.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Andre and his dog willis wandering around, so Willis can
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: get busy, go potty now, Jeremy writes in he disagrees
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: with Andre. He says, listen, Cooper flag is from Newport, Maine,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: not Lewiston, about an hour and a half north of Portland, Maine.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Straight up by ninety five. All right, well, uh, listen,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I'll have to go exploring. If I end up backing,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: see what happens with the TV show.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: But if I end up going back, we go to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: meet and Reed and I his cruise around for a
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: couple of days, and I got to go further into main.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And all that. So we'll see. But thank you, Jeremy.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and we'll say hello
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: to Let's go to John who's in Boston on the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports Radio.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Hello John, Hello.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Ben and Crewe, thanks for taking the call. I have
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: some eighth Bailey fun facts. Ben. There were two eights
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Baileys that played in the NHL.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Two of them Noble Your Pleasure, Double your Fun.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Okay, father, you're gonna like this, Ben. His father was
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: a great player for the Maple Leafs. They would help
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: him win the Cup way back in the thirties and
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: led the league in scoring. And he's in the Hall
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: of Fame. And he was the first player in North
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: American sports to have his number retired. Number.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah now everyone everyone gets their number retired.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's all why he was He's sick. He must
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: have been sing or something.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: He got couldn't play anymore. But hit him in the
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: head then.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so so yeah, so they did it. They retired
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: his number because he got hurt and couldn't play.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: As out why they did it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: It was really good too. Like I said, the league
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: is scoring and helped them win the Cup.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was the first.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I think the first baseball player was Lou Garrick right
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to have his number retired.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's true because he couldn't play
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: anymore because I did not know that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I believe, I'm I believe I'm right on that as
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I as I remember that is he's.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The first baseball player. But you're right, the first player
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: overall was a hockey player.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: And I guess according to you, John, it was Ace Bailey.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But doesn't that sound like an old school like a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: ninety like an old school baseball.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Somebody on a reel was reading somebody hitting a home
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: run on nicely hit home red socks.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: And it was probably a nickname back then. I don't know.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well exactly, I'm guessing even the Ace Bailey that
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: was drafted by the Jazz, it's probably not his name.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: He's probably right named kid deuced.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the kid won't be picked on
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: in elementary school with the name like Deuce, so.

  Speaker 8: I'd be careful if I picked on him.

• 30:41
  Speaker 2: to be very offensive about the people that can't hear
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the death Like, we can really unload on the deaf
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: community because there's nothing they can they cannot push back
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: against us. So the one group we are allowed to
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: just rip apart and just unload on the.

  Speaker 2: the latest mother to go viral at a draft. This
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: happens every year in one of our sports leagues, but
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: in this case it was it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Was Dylan Harper. Now I'm so old. I used to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: interview Ron.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Harper back when he played for the Clippers and played
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: with the Bulls and teams like that. But his kids

  Speaker 2: picked with a number two pick, and that has been
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: seeing millions and millions and millions of times. She also

  Speaker 2: I guess it's been a couple of years. Remember the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson's mom.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: She went viral.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to think since then, I'm sure there
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: has been one or two.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: I think Xavier Worthy's mom went viral the Chiefs Worthy.
• 33:26

  Speaker 2: the NFL. Your mom's stealing a package off somebody else's store.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: That's not a great look.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Who was that? Which? Which player on the Chiefs? I forget? Anyway,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. That was not of this draft.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: So anyway, there you go. Maria Harper, big star, breakout star.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Can she monetize that?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: She can? She makes some money on.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Social media now because she's gone viral, or she going
• 34:04

  Speaker 1: Ben. Is it David Peterson the Mets.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: No, it's also not gay Lord Perry guest by Terry
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: in England. Or here's a great caller from the early
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: days of the show, jehattis John from Michigan. No, the
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: correct answer is none other then the misz who did
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: it for the brewer Jacob Lizzarowski the new feed um
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: But he's not dating a hot girl, so nobody knows
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: who he is. Here we go, how about.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: That to the third degree? This is one Big Ben
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: gets grilled.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Alright, Ian Roddy, go aheady alight, gun, We're gonna call
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: you the nickname Jump the gun Ian is what we're
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: gonna call your name.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: All right, I've earned a nickname. Let's jump right in
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: the The Spurs selected Rutgers point guard Dylan Harper with
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: the second overall pick in the draft tonight. As you mentioned, Ben,
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: the thing is, they just traded for another star point
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: guard in Daron Fox a few months ago, and they
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: have the point guard who literally just won Rookie of
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: the Year in Steph Castle. So Ben, can san Antonio
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: make it work with three point guards or does someone
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: have to go?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Well, eventually someone will go. We don't know whether Dylan
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Harper can play. I hope he can't play. I was
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: a fan of Ron. Harper is old man, one of
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: the great clippers of all time, so I'm pulling for him.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: You can make it work during the regular season. Typically
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs that doesn't work. You can't play three
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: guards at a time in the playoffs. But if these
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: guys are great offensive players and they don't kill you defensively,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you can absolutely make it work during the regular season.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: And they've got Wemby in the middle to make up
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: for a lot of poor defensive assignments. So I'm gonna
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: go tentatively, yes, in the regular season, but not the playoffs.
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: Next all right, Warriors for where Jonathan Kaminga told The
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: Athletic that he's at a point where he wants to
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: be the featured guy on a team a team can
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: rely on, whether that's in Golden State or somewhere else.
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: So he said he wants to be a multi time
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: All Star and he's never really gotten that chance in
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: Golden State. He's ready to see what he can do. So, Ben,
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: do you think this is the right attitude for the
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: twenty two year old on a winning team? Or is
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: he right for wanting to spread his wings?
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I understand he's tired of being a supporting actor.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: He wants to be a leading actor and all that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: But he's really saying is I would like to play
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: for a crap team.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Play for the Charlotte Hornets or the Trailblazers. You know,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I'll be the I'll be the superstar, I'll be a
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: rock star. I'll be a big fish in a small pond.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: So he's not He's like, I don't really care about
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: winning anymore. That's essentially what's that's what it sounds.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Like to me.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: Next, sources told to ESPN that Texas State is expected.
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: They're expecting an invitation to join the Pac twelve, which
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: would give the conference its eighth and final team, which
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: would then give them also a presence in the state
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: of Texas, obviously a big football state. So Ben, do
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: you see this as a big deal or just the
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: Pac twelve hanging on for dear life.
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: No.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I imagine somebody in a calmill waking up and say, oh,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch some Pac twelve football this year.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what is it? Texas State versus Fresnos?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: All right? How'd we do it? There? You won
