  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the pro Bouncy
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Ball playoffs. They continue will start out in San Francisco.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That is where the only game that was competitive was played.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: There's only a couple of games on the schedule and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: there was only one that really provided anything halfway decent
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to discuss. So that we will talk about the other game.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Why not we have a four hour to talk show.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But game four of the Western Conference playoffs side of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the bracket, the night cap, you had Jalen Green and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the number two seeded Rockets taking on Stephan Curry in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the number seven seed Golden State Warriors.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And how did that go? Well, it was actually close.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The Rockets had a lead at halftimes, were up by seven.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Then they had to play the second half. If you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: were not watching, you might have missed it. It came down
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to the bitter end. A big third quarter run by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the Warriors put them ahead. But in the stretch run
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: down the home stretch, Jimmy Butler converted not one, not two,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but three foul shots with less than a minute to go.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: He also got the.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Game clinching rebound with four seconds to go in the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: game and made a couple more foul shots. You had
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: twenty seven points, almost all of them, it seemed, in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the second half of this game, and he returned from
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a pelvic injury, which at the time seemed like that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was going to be the KO see you later.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Out of here.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: They win, though, Golden State gets past Houston one oh
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: nine to one oh six, a three point win. More importantly,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they are up now three games to one, so it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: appears another non competitive NBA playoff series. In terms of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a possible Game seven situation down the line, we're not
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: looking at that. Fred van Vliet missed a three point
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: shot for the Rockets that would have could have ended
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: up tying the game. That he missed it at the buzzer,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: No good, that's it. And the Warriors, now you talk
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: about stepping up secondary actors, role players, they play better
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at home. Brandon Pojemski with twenty six points for Golden
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: State and Steph Curry rather quiet seventeen points.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I know you're not allowed to say anything.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Negative about Steph Curry because you'll be struck by lightning
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: if you say anything negative about Steph Curry went all
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that good.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: He went all that good.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And now the teams will get back to Houston. Game five,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: very concerned about when Game five is. Game five best
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of seven will be on Wednesday night. Wednesday night, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that could be se la vie for the rock Cats
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: there as Golden State will try to close it out
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and they can say bye bye to the Rockets on
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Houston's home floor. The better story is in the losing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: locker room. So that is where we were going to begin.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And Alfred she Goon was the big man, not exactly
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the second coming of a keem Elijahon. However, he continues
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to produce for the most part in these playoffs. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Shan Gun had a chance to put Houston ahead and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they gave him the ball about ten seconds to go
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in the game. He worked the ball down to the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: foul line with less than ten seconds remaining, and he
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: did not make the shot, a foul line jumper that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: would have put Houston ahead by one on the road.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: There would have been just a few seconds to go
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: in the game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss that's actually we'll start with that,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: because that's interesting the reaction to that, and if you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: didn't hear exactly what happened and see what happened, the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: question is was it great defense by Draymond Green because
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that was the matchup. That's pretty intriguing that Houston, of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: all the players on the court email Udoka, would approach
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this and get the ball to Shengoon against what everyone
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in the media is convinced is the top greatest defensive player,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green for Golden State. Yet Houston attacked Draymond Green.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So was it great defense by Draymond Green or a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: just a bad misshot by the Rockets al Shengoon there
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: at the end. That's the question. So I've got Lionel,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Richie Wreckett, Ralph and Silicon Valley and we will combine
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: make a nice tropical vacation. The Rockets are one law
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: away from a very nice tropical vacation.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: They can afford it. They can afford a nice vacation.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So my first thought on this, despite Reggie Miller on
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the TNT broadcast, who was I'm pretty sure wearing knee pads.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: For Draymond Green. I mean it was a little uncomfortable.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Get a room, just smooching and slobbering all over Draymon.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Reggie Miller, what a fanboy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Despite that, and also despite all the awards that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green has picked up as a multi time defensive
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: player the year.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah, Houston.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I love the fact they went right after Draymond at
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this stage of his life. Draymond was just a podcaster.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He's an older player, He's a podcaster. And it wasn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe my TV was broken. I don't know, what do
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I know. I just did the Overnight show. It did
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: not look like lockdown defense by Draymond Green. It did not,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: despite what Reggie Miller and the TNT broadcast was saying.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I did not, in my view, see, oh my god,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: this is like a great defense. Holy crap. I can't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: believe how good he played defense. I didn't see that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: What I saw was Alfred Schengoon going Lionel Richie if
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you will here, cranking up the Commodore's brick house from
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: back in the day there and nineteen seventies. But man,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: what a brick house it was at the end there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But he got a pretty good shot. He just didn't
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: make the shot. And it's a make or miss league.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I was taught that by Jeff Van Gundy maker miss league.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: He missed it, but it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Wasn't because of amazing defense by Draymond Green.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Now of a bigger problem for the Rockets here is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Jalen Green. What happened? What happened to Jalen Green? That's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the question for the Esteam panel. The Rockets star during
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the regular season, so in this game, we mentioned Shengoon
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for the Rockets who had twenty one of his thirty
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: one points in the second half, and he had to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: do that because the guy that is the headliner. It's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like going to a comedy show and the comic who
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you're going to watch the top comic, gets up on stage,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: tells one joke and says, all right, that's all I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: got tonight.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I'm out.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That was Jalen Green. He was the headliner and he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: didn't deliver as the headline. He was a fraud, an
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: absolute fraud. And what happened to him is he had commandeered.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: He was in the cockpit writing the vomit comic Jalen
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Green in this game, as we so often see in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the plus. He had eight points. That's it, eight points,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but the stories in the second half. Houston was up
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: by seven at halftime. He scored as many points Jalen
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Green as you and I did in the second half goose, egg, bupkis, zippo.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Zero, nothing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It only took eight shots in the game, only two
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: field goal attempts in the second half. It reminded me
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of play off Harden from years gone by with the Rockets,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: or Kitty Kat with the Knickerbockers now and also with Minnesota,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: where he just vanishes for a game.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: In this case, Jalen Green has actually vanished from more
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: than one game.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: This has become the norm. And how bad was it?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. It was so bad that emy
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Udoka benched Jalen Green for the final like five minutes
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of the game. This is his top player. He wasn't hurt.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: He was benched for negligence, for malfeasance on the court.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, Green has been under ten points in three
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of the four games in this series. He did have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the thirty eight point game, but other than that, it's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: been a do better, be better situation. It's bad job,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: all right now? Meanwhile, at Golden State, they win this game.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So they're up three games to one, and to the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: winner goes the spoilers. Everyone kisses their asses, how great
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they are, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Now, Jimmy Butler
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: had some interesting comments postgame without on TNT right after
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the game, without naming the person. Without naming the person,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler indicated that there was a player on the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Rockets who inspired his second half performance, and he indicated
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: without naming him, that it was Dylan Brooks, the big mouth,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: trash talking instigator of the Houston basketball team, and so
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: without naming him directly, it certainly appeared based on the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: clues given and the way the game played out, there
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: was a couple of minutes in the first half that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: were it seemed to take thirty five forty minutes to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: play about three minutes a game time because they kept
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: going to the replay, which is unwatchable. Crap I flipped
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: over to a baseball game, not even a good one,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the Marlins and the Dodgers, not even a good game.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: But I flipped over that and then came back. But anyway,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: so Jimmy Butler Golden State Star of Stars on this night,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and he credited it would appear Dylan Brooks for inspiring
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: him with some trash talk. So how does that sound
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to you? So the way I interpreted the Jimmy Butler
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: SoundBite parabolic, a legend building is how I interpret her
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to hear Jimmy Butler in the beginning part of the game.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And I actually jotted this guy, didn't John. I wrote
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it on my phone. I have the notes app on
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: my phone and I said, decoy, Jimmy Butler. Decoy in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the first half of the game. It was a decoy.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: He only had four points at halftime, and it just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't aggressive and just kind of out there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, you're wondering, why is he out there?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Is he able to play?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Is he just out there because he wants to be
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that option, which not really a real option? And all
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that four points at halftime and then in the second
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: half he goes wreck at Ralph.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Turbotastic performance Golden State. They started the second half. He
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: saw the game. You know, they went eighteen out of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the nineteen points eighteen to one run after halftime, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the Playoff Jimmy was activated. He likes to down and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: play Playoff Jimmy, yet he doesn't seem to have much
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of an issue with it when it's in headlines on
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the internet and it's kind of this weird thing he's got.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: He's got to downplay it, but yet he kind of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: likes it secretly and all that. So Playoff Jimmy with
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: twenty three points in the second half, but fourteen in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He had more points than the rest
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of his teammates for the Warriors in the final twelve
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: minutes of that game. So Golden State. Now he went
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: away from a trip to the second round. They'll play
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Minnesota in the second round. Wolves one more win away
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: from Huka Luka and the Lakers being exterminated, which we
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: can all celebrate there from the playoffs. All right, now,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: last word, we go to the Commissioner's office. We head
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: now to the Commissioner's office where Adam Silver was asked
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on what needs to improve with the end media covers.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: So I don't have you heard what he said.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It was an interview he did recently with one of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: these sports business websites.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Here, here's a little taste.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Here's Adam Silver giving a lecture on what needs to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: be better tig A Liss.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Is there anything about how the NBA has covered that
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: you would change?
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting your company is enjoy Basketball. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, I respect the job the media does, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: it's not a suggestion that people shouldn't ask tough questions
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: or be critical or talk about things they don't like
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: about the game. But I would say, and it goes
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: exactly to your production company Enjoy Basketball, that sometimes I
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: think they don't spend enough time talking about why people
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: love this game. And you know, recently I was at
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: a meeting with Mike Krzyzewski, former coach at Duke, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: he condensed it with this headline. He said, we should
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: educate people about the game and celebrate the game. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: educate and celebrate and I feel I wish there was.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: More of that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so the money part of that, they
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: don't spend enough time talking about why people love the game.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So where do you stand on this? Where do you
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: stand on what you just heard there from Adam Silver?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So I give this some SIDEI here, of course, you'd
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: expect the commissioner to only want positivity.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And he did drop a bomb, the butt bomb. He
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: dropped a butt bomb.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Everything before the word butt and before the word butt
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: was tough questions.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: So he doesn't want tough questions.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That was a lie, he said the word but everything
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: before the word but is a lie. It was a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: butt bomb from Adam Silver.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Butt bomb. Adam Silver, he said it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: But he's acting like he's in the Silicon Valley running
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: an internet startup Sunshine dot com. If you will right now,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you can control NBA media, the business partners. You can
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: control the degree and so there is a level of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: control that one has. Like the website, which I don't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: know anyone goes to NBA dot com, but those that do,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the five people that go to that website, you can
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: control that. The social media channels that the league runs,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you can control that. But outside of it, the problem
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Madam Silver has is the people that pay big money
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: for the rights to the NBA do that to get
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: an audience and engage the audience in order to bring
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in money via advertisers. And it's basically a case where
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: tell me you do not understand how the media business
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: works without telling me that you don't understand how the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: media business works. The NBA is actually the envy of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and the NHL in the fact that
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: even though the product in baseball and hockey is better,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyone thinks it's a worse product in
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: those sports than Basketball's better. The NBA product is horrible
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: during the regular season. Now the playoffs, it's not that bad.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But during the regular season it is god awful. Everyone
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: knows it, Everyone's aware of this. It is a horrifically
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: bad product. And it's happened under Adam Silver's watch, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the media loves you know. I can't say what they
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: do to Adam Silver, but they love Adam Silver so
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: much that they don't want to criticize him. Under his watch,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the product has become horrific. Baseball is a better product.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Hockey is a better product in the regular season. You're
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: not supposed to say. But yet the NBA, despite an
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: inferior product where the players don't give a crap during
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the regular season, it's like going to David Busters and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: standing there and watching Papa shot. Yet the Papa shot
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: machine at David Busters is watching in the NBA during
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the regular season, it's nothing but jump shots, three point
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: shots and all that stuff. Despite all that, the days
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of our lives drama, which is mostly negative, is engagement,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and that part of it works. We're in the golden
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: age of engagement. And the Internet thrives on negativity. Human
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: beings thrive on negativity. You always get some dope to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: cause the sports radios, Oh, I think you should be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: more positive, And I always say, well, you want me
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to lose my job because if I do positivity, no
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: one listens.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: They used to be a guy that worked here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I want to say the person name try to do
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: positive sports radio.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I believe he.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Is now trying to be a motivational speaker. He ain't
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: doing this anymore because no one listened. Okay, people want engagement,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Advertisers want that, and negative things bring more engagement.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: That's how it works. That's how it works.

• 19:02
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five which ended back on Saturday, but still
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: has legs. It still has legs now the traumatic fall
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of shedur Sanders free falling, free falling out of day
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: one that was on Thursday, out of day two on Friday,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and then made it all the way to Saturday and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: even made it past that first round on Saturday, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: so this continues to be analyzed z a Brooder film style.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Every angle covered here. The microscope is out analyzing this now.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: If you've not heard the latest chatter, possibly not longtime,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: longtime NFL commentary actually played a lot of people don't
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: even remember that. But Boomer as Sisson won an MVP award.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So Boomer hangs out with rich people and people that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: are in the know in the NFL. And so Boomer
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: assiz In on his New York The Radio show claimed
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that Shadeur Sanders was taken off of draft boards by
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: multiple owners. That's an interesting wrinkle, Yeah, multiple owners and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: why is that? Well, according to Boomersiasin, he said, the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: attitude of Shadur Sanders was very off putting to many
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: many coaches, in general managers the league. He added that
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: after talking to three different personnel people in the NFL
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: this weekend, they did not even have him meeting Shadar
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Sanders on the board. They took him off, and they
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: took him off because the one owner said, take him off.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want that guy. I don't want this entitled
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: person on our team.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Close quote. All right, So let us discuss the question as.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: A pretty damning accusation that this came from the ownership
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: down Boomer Sizen saying that three owners, three NFL owners
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: took Shadeur Sanders off the twenty twenty five draft board.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised by this report? Do you believe this report?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So I've got blind spot, coke zero, and rings, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: are going to make the Baba Ganooshe. We're gonna make
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the boabaganosh.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: So numb get a number.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It is all after the fact reporting. No one said
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this prior to the draft. There was like one or
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: two people that said, not really a first round quarterback.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I had mentioned in previous episodes of the show that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: based on the scouting reports that I was reading, Shine
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Sanders is like a second round pick, second round pick,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and he was gonna get drafted in the first round
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: or the end of the first round because of his dad. Well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it turns out, if you believe what happened happened the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: way it happened, it's because of his dad that he
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: was not drafted in part even in the second.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Round of the NFL draft.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And if you do the math, math though and malor
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: math is a version of math. It is not the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: final answer on math. So there are thirty two teams.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So if three owners, if three owners said X nay
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on the Shaudur Sanders A, that is about ten percent,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a little less than ten percent. I beye, it's nine
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: point two or something like that. It's right around ten percent.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: So that would leave ninety to ninety one percent if
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you want to round up of NFL teams that were available.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I don't keep in mind many teams did not need
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. Not every team drafted a quarterback. So there
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: is that, but it does tell you if accurate. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: believe it is that Shouldeur Sanders is a special kind
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of Say it with me now, Mama Luke. He's a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: special kind of Mama Luke, and not a special kind
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of talent.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: That's the problem.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You can be the biggest a hole in the room
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: as long as you can back it up and make
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the company money.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And it's really no different in the business I'm.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: In in the radio world is in the football world.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Teams will tolerate a lot a lot from a star player.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: You can be a diva, you can be an ahole,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you can be a schmock. You can have off field drama.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You can have all of that as long as your
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: performance is above and beyond your replacement, and you always
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: do this cost benefit analysis. There have been people I've
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: worked with in radio who were terrible people who got
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of money for the company, made a lot
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of money and the advertiser happy. But once the advertisers
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: were no longer happy and the audience went away, they
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: quickly vanished as well because they were schmocks and that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: couldn't wait to get rid of them. And it does appear, though,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: based on all of the various reports here, that the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: NFL as a whole voted through the first four rounds
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of the draft that Shudure is a special kind of varmit,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that he suffered from a blind spot and there was
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: this extreme lack of awareness.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Now you see people all.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: The time that are not aware that they A lot
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of times you get older and you just that you're
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: not aware, but you just don't give a crap. You're
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: all bedraggled, you go out there, you got the you're
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a mess.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You don't care about your parents, right, but you're not aware.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: In this case, it's just totally being obtuse to reading
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the room and just thinking your God's gift of football
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to not going to work with
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: wor to be I mean, there was a report that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: you are saying, is I saw this somewhere. I forget where.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: That he was.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He had a VIP section at his pro day. And
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that's it's a little much. It's a little much.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: But there you go. And it's like that internet meme,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you know, you f around and find out, and the
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: more you f around, the more you're gonna find out
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: and should found out. And it doesn't seem like it's
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: affecting him by all accounts. He's still totally on planet
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Shauduur and it doesn't seem to matter. And okay, now
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: page two to the White House we go. That is
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: where the Philadelphia football team, the Eagles, gees merch, Merch, merch.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: The Eagles visited the White House for the first time
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: as a franchise following that thumping they put on cansa
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: City in Super Bowl fifty nine. Now, not every member
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of the Eagles was there, much to the delight of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: many media hacks who were trying to look at anything
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: here to pump up the negativity. But now a notable absence.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: As the President of the United States, Donald Trump addressed
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. You did not have quarterback Jalen Hurtz. He
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: was a no show. Aj Brown was not there. DeVante
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Smith among those that chose not to show up to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the White House. And how does the scorecard look though?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: How does the scorecard looko on the Eagles visit to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the White House. So I grated it this way, and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I saw a clip big Dom was the star of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Big Dom got introduced first before anyone else.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But based on the clips that I watched on the YouTube,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: this happened while I was sleeping. I scored it a
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: coke zero if you will, as let me point this out.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Coke zero meeting a zero sum game. It was a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: zero sum game. The Eagles claimed that Jalen Hurts could
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: not attend because of a quote scheduling issue, is what
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: they said, because you just wander into the White House
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: at the last minute and it's not playing months and
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: months in advance. Of course, come on, yeah, now keep
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it on you. You don't have to do this, right,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: It's not a requirement you have to go to the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: White House or anything. But as we pointed, out when
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers visited the White House back.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: In the beginning part of the month.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I think it was like April, the first week in April,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the second week in April, a couple of weeks back.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: You're not required to go to the White House. However,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: by not going into the White House, you make it
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: all about you, right, you make it all about you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: And I would use an example like Mookie Betts not
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a fan of President Trump.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: That's fine, you know, I don't have to agree on
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: everything politically or whatever.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Not a real fan of Donald Trump. He showed up
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to the White House. And why did he show up
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to the White House? Dave Roberts also showed up. They
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: showed up because it was about unity. It was about
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: team unity. It's not about politics and all that stuff.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: The reason it's a zero sum game, like Jalen Hurts,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: obviously he's not into it and all that stuff. He
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: made it all about himself, right, he met all myself.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: But the reason it's a zero s game is because
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: while Hertz was making some kind of political statement, you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: had Sequon Barkley who was like fully immersed in the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: whole White House experience.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The Eagles running back.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Not only did he show up to the White House,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he was hanging out with the president the day before.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: They I think they were in Florida and they flew
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: back on Air Force one.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: That would be pretty cool to going Air Force one
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: when that flew back to DC.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So he golfed with the president and then Barkley was
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: getting killed for that, and then he had a mic
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: drop moment the Eagles running back on social media, he wrote, lol,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: he said, some people are really upset because I played golf.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I played golf and flew to the White House with
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the President. Maybe I just respect the office. Sequan said,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: not a hard concept to understand. Just golf with Obama
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: not too long ago, and look forward to finishing my
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: round with Trump. Now you get out of my mentions,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Barkley said, and with all the politics and have.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: An amazing day. So there you go.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Mike dropped moment there from Saquon bark So again zero
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: some game you had Jalen Hurts, some made it all
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: about him, and then you had Saquon Barkley.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: He was like fully into it, like he's won the
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: whole thing and and all that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: All right, No final point, we go to Nashville, Tennessee,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a developing story.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: With zero interest. Talk about zero zero some game, zero interest.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: In the number one and pick and the cam Ward
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: cam Ward, no buzz, no juice, no excitement. Cam Ward
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: goes at the very top and he has been given permission.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: We are told by Euler's legend Warren Moon to wear
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the number one Jerny number line and Warren Moon's old
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: uniform number that had been retired. So you got that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: going on. And then in the northeast corridor you have
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor who denied Abdul Carter, the Penn State defensive Star,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: from wearing number fifty six. So no number fifty six
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: for abdual Carter, that number retired by the Giants. So
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the question is where are you at on unretiring uniform numbers?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Where do you stand on this? You have two different
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: players asking for numbers to be unretired. One of them
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: got their wish and the other.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: One did not.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: So I am a fan of the rinks in this case. Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: not onion rings. I'm talking rings here. Retired numbers are dumb,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: d dumb, dumb, dumb. I've done many malland monologues over
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the years, how stupid retired numbers are, how ridiculous they are.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I don't support them. I've never supported them. Some teams
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: have retired multiple numbers are player that's players. That's ridiculous,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and you shouldn't retire numbers. And I've said this from
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the very beginning, and I've maintained a consistent hot take
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: when it comes to retired uniform numbers. The ring of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: honor is the way to do this. The ring of honor,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you honor the name. You don't need to retire the number.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: You honor the name.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Now, I am fine if you want to have certain numbers.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: They do this a lot in college football, where there's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: like legacy numbers. Like our guy, LaVar Arrington, our colleague
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. His number is not retired
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: by Penn State is number eleven, but that's a legacy number.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: They give that to whoever the stud defensive player is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: at Penn State. It's linebacker you at University of Southern
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: California USC number fifty five. Same thing as younger junior
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: say Ow wore. That been legendary defensive players that have
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: won that, But they give that out for star defensive players.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It's a legacy number. I believe Georgia does the same
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: thing with herschel Walker. They didn't retire his number thirty four.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: They give it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Out for rare and appropriate occasions. And that's the way
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: it should be. And I'd do the same thing in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I'd unretire every number in the NFL. I
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: don't think it's that outrageous. You just don't give out
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: those numbers. But if there's a great quarterback that comes
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers and watch to wear Joe
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Montana's old number, I'm okay. If somebody wants to wear
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: number twelve and they happen to be a great quarterback,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a young quarterback for the Patriots and they want to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: wear that number, and you're okay, shirt, fine, why not?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Who says no, that's my position and I'm not changing it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Here we go, It's Mallard. How about that?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: To the third name, No more players from the nice
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred gets great be drafted below.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: So, despite recent trade rumors in the NFL, draft is
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: coming gone and Tyreek Kill is still a member of
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: the Dolphins. It's now being reported that the Dolphins are
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: likely to stick with Hill. Ben, do you think Tyreek
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: plays in Miami all season long?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a big mile, so you get through
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and it's less likely you're going to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: be traded.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: The chatter is he still wants more money. They just
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: gave him more money in Miami, so they're not going
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to give him another contract. I'd say if we get
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: by mid June, it's less likely Now. I would say
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I would bet on him staying with the Dolphins now,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: but expect the rumors to pop over again next.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Sam Laporta quickly turned into a start tight end under
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: then Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Now as the head
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: coach of the Bears. Johnson has drafted Titan Colston Loveland
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: with the tenth overall pick and said that he thinks
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: leveland can do the same things for Chicago that Laporta
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: did for Detroit. Ben, do you think Loveland becomes an
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: immediate star like Laporta?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: No, Laporte has been great. I mean, how often does
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: that happen. Loveland's got the size and all that. You
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: look at the measurable, but let's be realistic. It's a
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: different situation, and the Bears play outside and they have
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who's not exactly the toughest.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: In the world.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Good luck next, But I'm not asking for a big
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: board with a bunch of letter grade journeys.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving you a big board. Good no big board.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But do you think there's a team or two that
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: you consider won the draft?
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Well, the ones that stood out, and I'm always skeptical,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: but I'll dual Carter for the Giants.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to be great with the New
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: York Giants.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And I thought the Patriots fixed some issues with the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: offensive line, and so those are a couple that stand out.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: How did we do? Kooble loop? You pass this? That
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: is a win? Putting on the board? What Chicken Dinner?
