2:28
Speaker 1: this hour, play the hits mom Man.
2:30
Speaker 2: We'll have more on the Miles Garret trade coming up later.
2:32
Speaker 1: The defensive Star, biggest name in defense in the NFL
2:36
Speaker 1: now in l a ram And if you had your
2:38
Speaker 1: team winning the NFC, I'm sorry You're Femi in Chicago,
2:42
Speaker 1: not gonna work out and no Struden is JJ and Retten,
2:47
Speaker 1: no Ernesto in the bay. Sorry, so the lead from
2:51
Speaker 1: the boob tube this hour, we're gonna go to the
2:53
Speaker 1: boob tube. Russell Wilson has picked up a new plumb
2:57
Speaker 1: gig now And we spent a lot of time over
3:00
Speaker 1: the years talking about Russ. He's very awkward, very very awkward, and.
3:07
Speaker 2: He's good for talk radio, good for talk radio. Not
3:10
Speaker 2: a great quarterback, not even a good quarterback, Russell Wilson.
3:14
Speaker 1: I believe he's never gotten an MVP vote, not even one,
3:17
Speaker 1: not even like a fourth place MVP vote, none of that. Hey,
3:21
Speaker 1: you didn't hear the news where he's headed, and perhaps not.
3:26
Speaker 1: We learned that Russell Wilson is finalizing a contractual agreement
3:32
Speaker 1: to join the New York studios of the CBS. Yeah,
3:39
Speaker 1: he's going to become an NFL analyst. Wow, just what
3:43
Speaker 1: the world needs, more jockocracy. He will join CBS's pregame
3:46
Speaker 1: show alongside the venerable James Brown, Nate Burlson, the Wokester,
3:52
Speaker 1: and Bill Cower, who somehow kept his job, I believe.
3:55
Speaker 1: So those are the guys on the and I think
3:57
Speaker 1: now they've they've rotated some other people in their but
4:00
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is the chair that he will sit in.
4:03
Speaker 1: He being Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, who was given the
4:07
Speaker 1: job to fix the Atlanta Falcons. He's the head of
4:10
Speaker 1: Football Ops or whatever they're calling whatever Fu Gaysey title
4:14
Speaker 1: they gave Matty Ice, So he's running the Falcons and
4:17
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is now with CBS. Now, it's interesting to
4:21
Speaker 1: note that Russell Wilson received an offer from the Jets
4:25
Speaker 1: to serve as a backup quarterback for Gino Smith, which
4:29
Speaker 1: means you would eventually be the starting quarterback. Because Gino
4:31
Speaker 1: Smith sucks and he's been terribly He's the worst quarterback
4:35
Speaker 1: in football. Last year, led the Raiders to the top
4:37
Speaker 1: pick of the draft, and whether he gets hurt or bench,
4:40
Speaker 1: there's no way that Geno Smith makes it through the
4:43
Speaker 1: entire season. And yet Russ decided rather than take that job.
4:48
Speaker 1: He said, no, I am going to do broadcasting because
4:52
Speaker 1: everyone wants to be a broadcaster.
4:54
Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping up point.
4:55
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question why why would Russell Wilson
5:01
Speaker 1: pick CBS over playing for the Jets in the NFL. Now,
5:09
Speaker 1: normally these guys take broadcasting jobs when they can't find
5:12
Speaker 1: work anywhere. They're like, Okay, I'll become a broadcaster because
5:15
Speaker 1: no one's offering me a contract. Now, Russ had an
5:18
Speaker 1: offer and rejected it. He punted on the offer. So
5:21
Speaker 1: my observations, I've got buster, Linguini and CrossFit, and we
5:27
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
5:31
Speaker 1: going to put the biscuit in the basket. Just like
5:34
Speaker 1: Blind Scott likes at the biscuit in the basket.
5:36
Speaker 2: I saw number one, number one, number one, number one.
5:40
Speaker 1: End, lots of fun. Number one enough, all right, So
5:44
Speaker 1: some of these things are complicated. This is simple, easy peasy.
5:49
Speaker 1: He's mister unlimited and in the sense that he's unlimited
5:55
Speaker 1: in career pivots. You look at since he left Seattle,
5:59
Speaker 1: he has been bouncing around the pinball machine from the
6:03
Speaker 1: Broncos and then the Pittsburgh and the Giants, and he's
6:07
Speaker 1: been all over the place, all over the place. And
6:11
Speaker 1: this is though, the perfect job for Russ. The jockocracy
6:17
Speaker 1: of broadcasting TV executives love they just bet their knee
6:20
Speaker 1: pads on. They do the hawk tour for these ex jocks,
6:23
Speaker 1: and so it's perfect for Russ. Because he slides in
6:26
Speaker 1: there and he don't worry about anybody rushing him. He
6:31
Speaker 1: doesn't have worry about statistics or anything like that.
6:34
Speaker 3: And may you gotta give him that howk dude, and
6:37
Speaker 3: spend on that night.
6:38
Speaker 1: So CBS is a playground. The Jets, on the other hand,
6:42
Speaker 1: would be camping out on Rikers Island, if you know
6:45
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so besides this, you look at
6:49
Speaker 1: Russ and he has been practicing. He has been rehearsing
6:55
Speaker 1: for a job in television his entire playing career. Every
6:58
Speaker 1: news conference was an audition tape to be the standard
7:04
Speaker 1: sports cliche dopey TV guy. Like he's really practiced this
7:10
Speaker 1: for a long time. He has been giving those dull
7:14
Speaker 1: corporate speak answers going back to the Seahawks back in
7:20
Speaker 1: the day. So CBS is basically his natural habitat, right,
7:23
Speaker 1: like this is perfect for him. It's right in his
7:25
Speaker 1: natural habitat. And his middle name, Russell Wilson's middle name
7:29
Speaker 1: should be Buster, as in Phil a buster because that's
7:33
Speaker 1: what he provides. And he has given so many quotes
7:36
Speaker 1: that have filled talk radio real estate here cringeworthy that
7:40
Speaker 1: now he's going to monetize those ridiculous things that he said.
7:44
Speaker 1: The guy mastered the art of saying nothing, and now
7:47
Speaker 1: he's finally going to get paid just for that, just
7:50
Speaker 1: to get on there and spew nonsense. And it's like
7:54
Speaker 1: that Pink Floyd mantra. Your lips are moving, but I
7:59
Speaker 1: can't hear what you're saying because there's nothing meaningful coming
8:03
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. And that's half the job in
8:06
Speaker 1: studio television, it is. And make no mistake, Russ is
8:10
Speaker 1: not retiring. This is not a retirement. He's repositioning his brand,
8:17
Speaker 1: as the kids like to say, he's moving his brand.
8:19
Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson will be on every team's emergency quarterback list.
8:24
Speaker 1: God forbid, Josh Allen or go down with Mahomes on
8:28
Speaker 1: the big board, Josh Allen, Mahomes, Joe Burrow.
8:32
Speaker 2: He gets hurt every year. Lamar Jackson's very fragile at
8:35
Speaker 2: this point.
8:36
Speaker 1: And who are you gonna call, mister unlimited? That's what
8:40
Speaker 1: you're gonna call right there. So okay, he's not retiring, Russ.
8:44
Speaker 1: In fact, this is better for him to cherry pick
8:47
Speaker 1: a good opportunity and he's gonna be on every team's
8:51
Speaker 1: emergency quarterback list like Philip Rivers has been and Rivers
8:55
Speaker 1: finally accepted the call. Went to the Colts last year.
8:57
Speaker 1: And someone always gets hurt, somewhat of always gets hurt,
9:01
Speaker 1: and so you gotta give him a call. He's like
9:04
Speaker 1: in the NFL's traveling fire extinguisher is what he is
9:09
Speaker 1: all right now? Page two to the Giants side of
9:13
Speaker 1: the equation. Very busy on the transaction wire for the
9:16
Speaker 1: New York Giants, we learned that the g Men have
9:21
Speaker 1: officially signed Odell Beckham junior. YEP, that Odell Beckham Junior,
9:26
Speaker 1: along with j jew Smith Schuster and Braxton Barrios. He's
9:32
Speaker 1: still playing. Those guys are all going to the Giants
9:36
Speaker 1: in theory to bolster the wide receiver room for the Giants,
9:41
Speaker 1: said the man, snickering.
9:42
Speaker 2: Well, he said that.
9:43
Speaker 1: So o g Obj rather Obj has been a headliner
9:49
Speaker 1: and has been the key part of that has been
9:52
Speaker 1: a headliner. Beckham was drafted by the Giants with much
9:55
Speaker 1: fanfare way back in the twenty fourteen draft. I was
9:59
Speaker 1: just a little kid back in twenty fourteen. He was
10:01
Speaker 1: a twelfth overall pick. He had a great catch in
10:03
Speaker 1: a game the Giants lost on Sunday Night Football al
10:06
Speaker 1: Michaels played it up with collins Worth. It became the
10:09
Speaker 1: thing of legends. The fact that they lost the game.
10:12
Speaker 1: Nobody brings that up and.
10:14
Speaker 2: All of that.
10:14
Speaker 1: So this marks a full circle moment for OBJ. He
10:19
Speaker 1: had a very explosive early career on a Hall of
10:23
Speaker 1: Fame projectory at the beginning of his career, and then
10:27
Speaker 1: was traded to the Browns in twenty nineteen, used his
10:29
Speaker 1: dad to get out of Cleveland, and then went to
10:32
Speaker 1: the Rams, won a Super Bowl, got hurt, and has
10:34
Speaker 1: been gonzo from relevancy ever since then, unless you happen
10:38
Speaker 1: to be on a flight from Miami to LA and
10:40
Speaker 1: then you have a delay because he's a schmuck. So
10:44
Speaker 1: there is that, all right. Now, question how much gas?
10:49
Speaker 1: How much gas does Odell Beckham Junior have left in the.
10:52
Speaker 2: Tank for the Giants? All right?
10:55
Speaker 1: So he's thirty three years old, which is not old.
10:57
Speaker 1: That's young, right in sports, you're just at the end
11:00
Speaker 1: of your athletic prime at age thirty three. He's not
11:03
Speaker 1: a deep threat.
11:04
Speaker 2: He is a deep memory at this point, Odell Beckham Junior,
11:09
Speaker 2: and he's living off the highlight reel that Sunday night
11:11
Speaker 2: catch and a few others, and that's his pension, Like,
11:15
Speaker 2: that's the big pension right there.
11:16
Speaker 1: And Obj is he's like an Instagram model. OBJ looks
11:21
Speaker 1: great on your phone, like really hot. And then you
11:24
Speaker 1: take the filters off and it's a much different story
11:26
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with, much different story here under six
11:29
Speaker 1: hundred yards per year since twenty twenty, the pandemic, he's
11:33
Speaker 1: had a ped suspension. There's injuries here, there and everywhere,
11:37
Speaker 1: hasn't played a lot. He's like a number four wide receiver.
11:40
Speaker 1: Now he's not a number one wide receiver. This is
11:43
Speaker 1: a wide receiver.
11:44
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not? What the hell? And he's not washed.
11:50
Speaker 2: He has been.
11:51
Speaker 1: Gently marinated at this point. So the Giants are collecting
11:56
Speaker 1: receivers right now. Boy, they signed a bunch of slop
11:58
Speaker 1: out there.
11:58
Speaker 2: A receiver.
11:59
Speaker 1: Didn't these names Siames, My god, it's like mismatched tupperware
12:04
Speaker 1: that doesn't really fit that piece. Why did we get that?
12:07
Speaker 1: I don't understand. None of the lids fit. We're screwed.
12:10
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So they're throwing at this point. I
12:13
Speaker 1: know what John Harbaugh is doing. And my friends Sports
12:16
Speaker 1: with Coleman would confirm this. John Harbaugh is throwing Linguini
12:20
Speaker 1: against the wall, hoping he's just throwing the linguini against
12:25
Speaker 1: the wall, hoping that by panic buying Obj and Juju, Smith,
12:30
Speaker 1: Schuster and Braxton Barrios, praying that something al Dente shows
12:35
Speaker 1: up right. Ultimately, though, Odell Beckham has just enough gas.
12:41
Speaker 1: I looked at the tank, just enough gas for OBJ
12:44
Speaker 1: to sell hope by the gallon, okay, by the gallon.
12:48
Speaker 1: Not enough to be a difference maker for the Giants.
12:51
Speaker 1: So forget about that. That's not gonna happen. In the nostalgia.
12:55
Speaker 1: Really big, really really big. His prime, he was a
12:58
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yard receiver. He'll now give you three hundred
13:03
Speaker 1: yards and a marketing bumpety bump. That is what Odell
13:07
Speaker 1: Beckham will give you at this point. And that's what
13:09
Speaker 1: the Giants got. I don't even know I was gonna
13:10
Speaker 1: make the team, all right now. The conspiracy theory on
13:14
Speaker 1: the Giant story is, well, wait a minute, they have
13:17
Speaker 1: Molik neighbors. He must be really fed up. But he
13:20
Speaker 1: did lose at least one receiver during OTA's gunner Oshevsky Snap, crackle, pop,
13:27
Speaker 1: so he's out for the next NFLCS. So they have
13:30
Speaker 1: are you telling me three people were needed to replace
13:33
Speaker 1: Gunner Oshski?
13:34
Speaker 2: Well, seriously, is that what we're doing here anyway?
13:37
Speaker 1: All right, final point to the business of sports intertwined
13:41
Speaker 1: with political hacks.
13:43
Speaker 2: Say why?
13:44
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, So we have learned now the NFL commissioner,
13:47
Speaker 1: Roger the Dodger Goodell, is going to have to leave
13:50
Speaker 1: his house in the Hamptons or his vacation home in Maine.
13:54
Speaker 1: And he has been invited to Congress. Yes, Roger Goodell
14:00
Speaker 1: has been invited to Congress to testify before the House
14:03
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee on June tenth. So as we're doing this
14:07
Speaker 1: in real time eight days from now about the league's
14:10
Speaker 1: broadcast and streaming deals. Congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio, the
14:16
Speaker 1: chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sending a letter to
14:21
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell. I want to just email them or text them.
14:23
Speaker 1: These guys all have the numbers anyway. He sent a
14:26
Speaker 1: letter to Roger Goodell inviting him. I'm pretty sure that
14:30
Speaker 1: you don't turn down the congressional invitation. The hearing will
14:35
Speaker 1: examine whether or not the NFL's media rights agreements harm
14:40
Speaker 1: consumers and if the nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act
14:46
Speaker 1: needs updating what whoa all right? So question, why why
14:51
Speaker 1: is Roger Goodell being dragged What's the real reason why
14:55
Speaker 1: he's being dragged to Capitol Hill to about the TV
15:01
Speaker 1: deals in the NFL. So Roger, first of all the
15:04
Speaker 1: theories he's testifying, he's not really testifying. He's being seated
15:08
Speaker 1: at the Congressional Dinner theater. Now the performance. I looked
15:12
Speaker 1: at the calendar app on my phone, and that day
15:17
Speaker 1: in DC, which is pretty much every day, they have
15:19
Speaker 1: the same show. It's called Kabuki Theater. So Goodell will
15:23
Speaker 1: be part of Kabuki Theater where the politicians pretend to
15:27
Speaker 1: be outraged for regular Americans and the NFL pretends to
15:31
Speaker 1: be just this humble mom and pop shop.
15:34
Speaker 2: That's all it is. And it's Roger Goodell's annual one
15:37
Speaker 2: man show. That's right, kids.
15:40
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell gets up there on the stage, He's got
15:42
Speaker 1: surrounded by NFL big shots, and he says, I swear
15:46
Speaker 1: I care about the fan. We're the most fan friendly league.
15:51
Speaker 1: And then he gives you all kinds of bull crap
15:53
Speaker 1: numbers and all that stuff. And that's how that's gonna go.
15:56
Speaker 1: And Capitol Hill, the congress people love they love on
16:01
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. These type of events, these hearings, when they
16:04
Speaker 1: bring in sports figures are just solid gold.
16:07
Speaker 2: Now why is that.
16:08
Speaker 1: It's because they get to look tough, fake tough guy
16:13
Speaker 1: without actually doing anything, which is perfect if you're a
16:16
Speaker 1: political hack.
16:17
Speaker 2: You gotta look tough, but you don't actually do anything.
16:20
Speaker 2: It's CrossFit for politicians, that's what it is. It's CrossFit
16:25
Speaker 2: for politicians. A lot of motion, you're not really going
16:28
Speaker 2: anywhere and no real results. That's the reality of the situation.
16:32
Speaker 2: Now politicians will get their sound bites, which is I
16:35
Speaker 2: guess still somewhat important, So they get little soundbites there,
16:38
Speaker 2: and the NFL will get some negative headlines for a
16:41
Speaker 2: couple of days. And when it's all set and done,
16:45
Speaker 2: of course, more is said than done.
16:47
Speaker 1: And you and I the consumer, if you are a
16:51
Speaker 1: law abiding citizen, you will get another subscription that that will.
16:55
Speaker 2: Be the result.
16:57
Speaker 1: And ultimately the NFL is still cashing check which is
17:00
Speaker 1: wild to me from this and baseball as well. In basketball,
17:03
Speaker 1: this nineteen sixty one law, it's like a forgotten savings
17:09
Speaker 1: bond that grandma left behind in the attic and you
17:13
Speaker 1: found it, You're like, whoa fake Grandma. That's cool. And
17:18
Speaker 1: the law was written back in the Bronze Age when
17:21
Speaker 1: there were one, two, three TV chanps. Believe it or
17:25
Speaker 1: not for my time, of course, I'm not that old.
17:28
Speaker 1: But supposedly back in those days there were just three
17:31
Speaker 1: TV channels and people use these things called rabbit ears. Yeah,
17:35
Speaker 1: there's the antennacled rabbit ears.
17:38
Speaker 2: And now you need.
17:40
Speaker 1: Six apps, a VPN, two passwords, and a couple of
17:45
Speaker 1: Russian streams and a seance to find some of these games.
17:50
Speaker 1: And so that's that's the issue here. The NFL's media
17:53
Speaker 1: deal is worth I think I read it was like
17:55
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten billion. One hundred and ten billion
17:59
Speaker 1: in media rites. And that's not a TV contract. That
18:03
Speaker 1: is a sovereign wealth fund. It might as well be
18:06
Speaker 1: the Saudi oil fund. It's the NFL's slush fund.
18:10
Speaker 2: Is what it is.
18:11
Speaker 1: And the law, which we've talked about here, and this
18:17
Speaker 1: is what's going to be talked about on Capitol Hill,
18:19
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act, whether it needs
18:22
Speaker 1: to be updated or not, what has happened is there
18:26
Speaker 1: has been a sea change and you are the product.
18:30
Speaker 1: You are the product in many of these instances, but
18:33
Speaker 1: the ultimate things like that Tom Preddy Tom Petty song
18:36
Speaker 1: back in the old days, the Last DJ, which is
18:38
Speaker 1: a great song if you're a radio nerd. It's a
18:42
Speaker 1: wonderful song, right, just a great song, Last DJ. And
18:46
Speaker 1: there's a line in there which is so appropriate for
18:49
Speaker 1: today's world that the line is how much will you
18:53
Speaker 1: pay for what you used to get for free? Well,
18:56
Speaker 1: I'd like to enter the chat now, Netflix and Amazon
18:59
Speaker 1: and all those all these different channels and all that stuff.

Speaker 1: We have Ted Lilly from Matthew Matt in Worcester Stone Cold,
37:51
Speaker 1: Steve Austin from King Rory. Do you have an answer
37:54
Speaker 1: thereno Donald Trump? No, it is ken Hill, an era
37:59
Speaker 1: of over eight back in nineteen ninety eight.
38:02
Speaker 2: And I saw a lot of those starts. He sucked.
38:04
Speaker 2: I remember he's bad. It's mallard. How about that?
38:08
Speaker 4: To the third degree, this is one big bent gets grilled?
38:15
Speaker 2: All right?
38:15
Speaker 8: Go ahead there, Cooper little Ben. Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker
38:20
Speaker 8: said he that he wasn't willing to foist billions onto
38:23
Speaker 8: taxpayers to give to a billionaire billionaire own family or team.
38:28
Speaker 8: Do you think the Bears are actually gonna leave the
38:31
Speaker 8: state of Illinois?
38:32
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's like the Giants and Jets playing in
38:35
Speaker 2: New Jersey and all that. And you know, if West
38:38
Speaker 2: Coast was like the East Coast, then Inglewood would be
38:40
Speaker 2: in a different state from La. So it's like this
38:42
Speaker 2: is they're gonna move to Indiana. I think they will.
38:46
Speaker 2: And it's like it's a few miles away, it's nothing,
38:48
Speaker 2: who cares, It's the same geographical area and all that,
38:50
Speaker 2: and they'll save some money.
38:51
Speaker 5: Next.
38:53
Speaker 8: Then the Los Angeles Angels have one of the worst
38:55
Speaker 8: records in all of baseball. That's your squad, coop, I'm
38:59
Speaker 8: all kind of I guess. Yet there are only nine
39:02
Speaker 8: games back of first place. Do you think in the
39:06
Speaker 8: AL West?
39:07
Speaker 5: That is?
39:08
Speaker 9: Do you think the Ale West is the worst division
39:10
Speaker 9: in baseball? Is it even up for debate? It's always
39:13
Speaker 9: usually one of the central divisions. Like I know, there
39:16
Speaker 9: are some bad teams in the American League Central, and
39:18
Speaker 9: there's a lot of teams with low pay rolls that
39:20
Speaker 9: are currently lead.
39:21
Speaker 2: I would say based on the fact that the Mariners,
39:23
Speaker 2: the cheating Astros, the Angels all suck, and the A's
39:26
Speaker 2: aren't really all that good. Yes, that's true. So no,
39:31
Speaker 2: that's it.
39:32
Speaker 8: I'm just Sea I'm just gonna give you a pass
39:33
Speaker 8: because I can't find my third question.
39:35
Speaker 2: Oh oh, look at that. I only needed two questions,
39:38
Speaker 2: third dog, I only needed two for following games. I
39:41
Speaker 2: don't even need a third question. That is a domination situation.
39:46
Speaker 2: That is a boat race, is what that is. Thank
39:49
Speaker 2: you very much. Boat race, Betty, boat race, Betty,
