  Speaker 1: should be I know the bourbon badger. He thinks about
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: about ten thousand times a day. He thinks about bourbon.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But he also loves loves tires. He loves bourbon and tires,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: those two things which often don't go together, loves them
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a lot. So a lot, a lot going on here.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I thought the thing that stood out the most, that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I was most chose up to talk about, was the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell. And that's our lead.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We go to Palm Beach, the Breakers Resort in West
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach, Florida, one of the wealthier enclaves in the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: United States. There a cheap room. Cheap room at the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Breakers Resort will cost you fifteen hundred dollars a night,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but good luck getting a room at that price. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL aristocrats were hanging out having a grand old time,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: running up the bill on the hotel and the room
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: service and all that. And there were some new developments
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: on the play that I love the mouse of the NFL.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The touchbush. Yes, I try to say that word, that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: phrase as much as I can. Touchbush, touch bush, touchbush,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: touch touch tush. Try to say it as often as
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I can. So anyway, I think you know by now
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: if you pay attention to this stuff, you're listening to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a sports talk radio show at a time most people
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: are not. So I'm assuming you're aware that there's been
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a ground swell of support started by the Green Bay
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Packers who can't stop it, so they want to get
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: rid of the play, and there's been an effort to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: get rid of the touchbush. So the latest on this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there was supposed to be a vote. They supposed to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: be on Tuesday. There was no vote turns out in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL, even though they had all this planned out,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and there were things being bountied about, bounced around the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: world about oh, this is gonna happen, this is gonna
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Everyone had a theory on it, so they had it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all planned out. The NFL was going to vote for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the end of the Eagles signature play, the short yardage
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: play where it is almost unstoppable. However, instead instead of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: having the vote, they decided to table the vote, a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: fancy way of saying, we didn't have enough votes, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we're not going to actually vote. We'll push it back.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Push it back. Now, much like defenses can't stop and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: push back the tousch push, they have been able to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: successfully push back the vote on the touch push that'll
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be back in May. Now. The play was tremendously successful
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's been insane. Twenty seven touchdowns
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and ninety two first downs gained in the past three
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: years on that one play. Twenty seven touchdowns, ninety two
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: total first downs over three years. You can do the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: math on that. That's over thirty first downs per year
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of touchdowns per year as well. They
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: scored eleven touchdowns on it with thirty two first downs
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl run which was capped off there
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in Louisiana back in February. So we are told that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the plan to outlaw, the plan to outlaw the play,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they had a straw vote, which is not a real vote.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It was like a fake vote, and there were sixteen votes,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: sixteen NFL teams that said, okay, let's get rid of it. Now.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: As you know, there are thirty two teams. The by
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: laws of the NFL. Oh, yes, the good old boys
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: networked there at the NFL. Well, they say you need
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a minimum of twenty four votes. So you can see
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: there's a problem with the electorate there. Now the topic
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is going to be revisited in May in a hotel
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: near an airport in Minnesota. That's where they're going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: get together the owners. Next. Now, Roger Goodell, let's get
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to the meat of the matter. So Roger Goodell, the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: commissioner a national football league, he got up to the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dais and he ranted and he claimed that he's concerned.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: He's got some issues with the tushy pushy. Listen to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the commissioner, Roger Goodell. Let's go to the audio tape.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I think there are safety issues that are being considered
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: in that case. We have very little data from it,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: but it's beyond data. There's also, you know, there's the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: mechanism of injury that we studied, that type of thing
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: that leads us to show the risk involved with a particular.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Player, particular tackle.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: So those are things that we did discuss. I do
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: think there's a lot of discussion about going back to
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the previous rule, back to two thousand and four.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All right, So Goodell, the key part of that was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the mechanism of injury. He used that phrase, which is bullshoy.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of hot bullshoy is what that is. All right,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question for the Esteem Panel,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: which you are part of. How do you decode what
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you just heard Roger Goodell and his messaging on the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: tush push? How do you decode the messaging on the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: toush push. So I've got ulysses as Grant, cherry picking
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and Popeyes, but not the chicken. And we will combine
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: make pop Goes Louise All. That's where we're gonna pop
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: goes the Weasel. So a the NFL, as we mentioned,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they did this little vote, but not a vote. Like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like when you run for political office
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and you do a survey of a sample of the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: electorate and you're like, are we gonna win the election?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Do we have enough votes? It's that kind of thing, right,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's it's that deal. And they were split down the middle,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty, fifty to fifty down the middle, split
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: down party lines. And you said, well, it's not team
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Red team blue. What are you talking about party lines?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You're full of crap. You're just a jerk. Let me explain,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: all right, So you have teams that have machismo, that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: have balls, that want the play to remain in the NFL,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and they they want to actually try to stop the play.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They want to figure out how to stop the play.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And then you have the other side of the aisle.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We'll call them the cowards, the uh you know what.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And they wanted outlawed. They want it for boton because
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they can't stop it. So if you can't stop it,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you got to get rid of it. And that's that's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the way it goes, right, And and so you break
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: all of this down, right, you break all of this down.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And Roger Goodell, even though he didn't step up and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: actually say I hate the play, I don't want to play,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: if you listen between the words of Roger Goodell, he
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is firmly supporting the extermination of the Tush push. He's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: anti Tush, doesn't like you can tell by the tone,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you can tell by the words. And so when I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: hear what he said, and then the NFL knew they
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: didn't have enough votes, so they decided to table the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: thing until May. What does that tell us, Well, that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: tells me that Roger Goodell is going to go Ulysses S.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Grant when he was the president back in the day,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna go to the Willard Hotel, which is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: according to US history, it's probably bull crap. But I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: heard the story years ago Willard Hotel in DC. The
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: President would go there and he might even been staying there,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and he'd go into the lobby and he'd smoke cigars
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and have cocktails, and so people that were trying to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: get favor out of the president would show up and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: have cigars and have drinks with President Ulysses s granted,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and so they would all hang out. And it was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the term lobbyist was born. So Roger Goodell is going
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to work as a lobbyist to try to get eight
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: teams to switch the vote to get rid of the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: tushy pushy. So no more tushy now Page two here,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So does the data back up ro Roger Goodell claim
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that they don't have enough of it, But they use
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: some high foalutin words and all this to describe why
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he didn't really think it's a great idea of the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: tush push that it's a danangerous play. So it's a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: dangerous play and they're talking about injury risk and all that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So does the data back that up? And the answer
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is no, I've been shaking my head. No, the NFL,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the only the league itself, the NFL itself. Now you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: remember this, Sean McDermott came out and the Bills coach
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is like, I don't think it's a good planning. That's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a dangerous play. The NFL, the league media operation released
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: data this goes back a couple of months that claimed
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: its own internal information that the numbers they keep track
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of showed that the tush push during the twenty twenty
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: four season resulted in zero injuries. Bupkis that's the league itself.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, his operation said, no one got hurt on
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the touch push. Now, even if you think that's bull
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: crap and that as raw, somebody got hurt. I know
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: somebody got hurt. Somebody had to get hurt, even if
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you believe that it wasn't very many. And on every
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: single play, if people are trying, there's going to be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: some risk of injury. And so what do you think here,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: what do you think Goodell's going to do in order
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to get those eight extra votes? Like what's the move here?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: If you're Rajah Goodell, you got to come back at
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the next meeting with the owners and you have to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: bring some information and try to sway at least eight
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of the sixteen that are on the other side. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: so what is going to happen here? It's kind of obvious.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: We see this a lot in political theater and in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: many walks of life. We saw this during the pandemic. Right,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you just cook up some numbers and say that's the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: way it is, and a lot of people just believe you.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So I would imagine that Roger Goodell will have some
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: high spin rate, that's a baseball term, high spin rate,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and he will manipulate the data or someone under him
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: will manipulate the data to fit his argument. Now, still
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: might not work, that's not guaranteed it's going to work,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: but the effort will be made. And it's called cherry picking.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And you just do a little data dredging, that's another
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: way to describe it. And you selectively choose and manipulate
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the information to support your argument, and then of course
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you ignore or in the legal sense, you omit anything
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that would contradict with your argument. All right, now, the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: last word, So the NFL, not only do you have
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: this toush push thing that got pushed back, ironically, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you also have Troy Vincent, a former NFL player who's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: now the executive muckety Muck of football operations. I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that's his unofficial title, the Executive Mucky Muck of the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: NFL Football Operation. So Troy Vince announced at the West
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Palm Sore at the Breakers resort. There, Troy Vincent announced
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that the league will be cracking down on what they
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: say has been an increased amount of violent and sexual celebrations.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: That's right that X nay on the sex, A and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: no on the violence. No, no fake guns, no fake
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: hand grenades. You can't be pretending like you're making love
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to an imaginary person while you're scoring a touchdown. You
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: are no longer allowed to do that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned cherry picking statistics, and the NFL is
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: very good at that. Troy Vincent claimed that the NFL
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: saw a one hundred and thirty three percent increase on
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: violent gestures in a celebratory matter. And but wait, there's more,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a fifty two percent uptick in sexual taunting. That's right,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: sexual time, which sounds like a kink that some of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you might have, right, it sounds like something you might have.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I you don't want to talk about it. I got
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: all right, So why is the NFL looking to again
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: put the kebash on these type of celebrations. Remember for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: years it was the no Fun League, and then they're like,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: we gotta have fun, and now they've had fun, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: now they don't like having fun. So there's a phrase
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that applies to if you give them a nach'll take
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a mile. So the owners are like, we don't really
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: want these players to celebrate the way they are, so
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: we allowed them to do it, and he took advantage
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of us, and so now now we have to put
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: our foot down, right, we have to put our foot down.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And the NFL owners they were a little soft, right,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: mister softy, little soft situation there, and now they're they're like, well,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: we got to go back more to a hard line.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Like if you want to play patty Cake, that's okay,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you can play patty Cake. And if you want to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: do a fake potato sack race, that were probably pretty
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: cool with that. But if you're I don't even know
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: what I can say and can't say. There's certain things
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that players have been doing the last couples. There's video
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: clips of like highlight clips on social media of some
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of the more outrageous celebrations. But it's essentially like the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: players have watched a lot of pornub and they want
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to recreate some of those classic scenes on pornub in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the end zone at Ford Field, right, and they just
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: want to there's a goal for it and all that stuff.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So of course, the puritan the puritan aristocrats, the they're
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going Popeyes, but not Popeyes the Chicken place. They're going
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Popeyes the sailor Man. Yeah, they're like, hey, that's all
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I can stand that. I can't stands no more. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what this means. But the stuffy, rich
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: guys who own these NFL teams and they just can't
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: have naughty activity, can't have it.
• 16:01

  Speaker 1: In depth team coverage. We start out at the NFL
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Owners meetings as we have the obligatory malar moologue about
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the life and times of Aerid Rogers. Yeah that's right,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So you ever heard the latest on this, mister Rodgers
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: keeping the content machine alive and well here in the overnight,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So Rodgers. Has he agreed to sign a contract. No,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: he's still unsigned. Rogers is not signed with the Pittsburgh
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: football team. However, Art Rooney talk about winning the genetic lottery.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Imagine me Art Rooney the second, So the Steelers owner,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Art Rooney the second, the president of the franchise, because
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: he's won the genetic lottery. Anyway, he discussed the rod
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: situation in particular. Listen as Art Rooney answers a question
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers working out with DK metcalf on the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: uc LA campus the other day, here's the Steelers owner
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: on that and what it all means. Take a listen.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I would say it was a good, good sign that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he wanted to do that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: And you know, and then we keep hearing that, you know,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: he's I.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Gus hitted in our direction, and so it seems to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: be a small signs of positive so far. Okay, we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: recorded that. We actually had a microphone over in Cuba
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and we had a boom mic he was in Cuba,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and then that's the audio that we got. So if
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you hear that, and right on the audio is not
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the great ist, but he's spoken vague terms right spoken
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: vague to he declined to give a firm timeline Art
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Rooney on when, when, exactly, when exactly this would be resolved,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Although we think we know when it's going to be resolved.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, Art Rooney, if you
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: could hear it, he says, these Steelers keep hearing, they
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: keep hearing that Aaron Rodgers is headed their direction, your thoughts.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So I've got Roulette face facial recognition software and tower
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of Power, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and we are gonna ride the zamboni, is what we're
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna ride the zamboni. So nam I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: said number, I get a number, all right? So Art Rooney,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the definition of buttoned up rich dude? Art Rooney, Does
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: anyone disagree even if you're like a buttoned up rich dude,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Art Rooney, buttoned up rich dude. Yes, we've established that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So that's an understatement. Actually, clearly, what's happened here is
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin and the other underlings with the Pittsburgh foototball
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: team are telling Art Rooney this is happening. There is
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: no plan B, there's no nothing. Imagine if you will,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you're the Pittsburgh Steelers a venerable franchise because of some
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: great years in the nineteen seventies. So you're the Pittsburgh
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Steelers and you're at the roulette table, and you've got
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a big stack of chips, big old Stacker chip and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you're like, what am I bet on?
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Do?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I bet on red? Do I bet on black? Do
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I bet on odd? Do I bet on even? Do?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I pick a number? How about I bet on green zero?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: How about that green zero? I'm gonna put all of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: my chips on green zero on the roulette wheel. And
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that is exactly what the Steelers are doing here with
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, because he's gonna get a lot of green
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and he is a zero at least he was washed
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: up a year ago with the football team in New
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: York or New Jersey and souh Rogers. He's pretty much
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: got the in Insers by the balls, if you know
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying here. And so he's taking Art Rooney
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and the Steelers franchise on a nice meandering back road
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: JN Just la la la la la la la la
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: la la la la la, a nice slow winding road
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and you don't know where it's gonna go. And You're like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I'll just keep going and maybe I'll get there. Now
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the latest conspiracy theory, which would raise the level of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: status for Andrea in Berkeley, the astrology lady. She's been
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: saying all along. Rogers is not going to sign the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: deal until after Mercury's out of retrograde. So Mercury gets
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: out of retrograde on April seventh. The buzz is that
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on April ninth will end up signing the deal,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: or at least announcing the deal. There's an event his
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: favorite YouTuber, Pat McAfee's got something in Pittsburgh, So I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: guess they'll get together there and play grab ass and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: then he'll agree to the contract. Now turning the page
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to baseball, talking Bays Ball. Yeah, so the Dodgers are
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: dreaming of another World Series. They're seven and zero. The
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Podreys haven't lost yet. Greatest start in Podrey history. Holy
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: bit Roberts Batman. The Podreys continue to storm along there,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and really all of the teams in California other than
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the Athletics are playing pretty well, playing pretty well, even
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the Angels. They can only only play the Cardinals and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the White Sox. They're in good shape they play anybody
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: other than the Cardinals in the White Sox, I don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: think they're in that game. How about the Angel has
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: three runs in the what the tenth and the eleven?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Is that right against the Cardinals? That's right? They did.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't follow them, Coop, all right?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Coop only follows them when they win. When they lose,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: he doesn't follow them. You know. That's my mantra to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I do the same thing anyway. So the talk everyone's
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: still buzzing about, it's too early to get too worked
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: up about any individual teams. Start now in another week,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: if the Dodgers are still undefeated, that's a different story,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: or the Padres or something like that. But the torpedo bats,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it's all about the tarpedo. So these bats. It started
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx. The story started with the Yankees, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: everything's bigger with the Yankees and the talk of the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: town and all that stuff, and it has continued now.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: The Yankees lost to Arizona on a Gino Suarez grand
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: slam late the dagger for the Snakes, as the d
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Backs got that done, and so the Yankees taste defeat
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for the first time. But during that game, Anthony Volpi
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and Ben Rice each hit dingers, and so that means,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: based on a minutes long mallar of investigation, the New
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: York Yankees have now hit eighteen home runs to begin
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the season their first four games. That is a new
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball record. Holy torpede, you know, batman. Yeah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the previous mark was held by the twenty six Detroit Tigers.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Where have you gone, Craig Monroe and Brandon Inge and
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Maggie that's Magglio ordoniis So get to the point, please.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So I bring this up for context because our friends
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: over at DraftKings and they're not the only one, but
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: we love DraftKings. They're a fine sponsor of this show
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and they've been with us for many, many years. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: DraftKings created a special torpedo bat promo, if you will,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and they've assembled all of the players that are known
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to use the torpedo, all the Major League Baseball players,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and therefore you can bet on the different props. And
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: one of the more popular props is that player ex
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: is going to hit a home run. And so they
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: have made it very easy for you to only pick
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: out the players that you the torpedo and to go
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: with it. So how do you classify not just DraftKings,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: but sportsbooks in general. How do you classify just having
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: one page of nothing but torpedo bat guys as a prop.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So it's obviously the word for this is opportunistic. Savvy
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is another word you can use. Now, I'm gonna say
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: this in the kindest of terms, but one of the things,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and I've preached about this, and I've been very lucky
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the last couple years. I did a TV show which
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: was based in gambling, although I was terrible this past year.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But the whole point of it is you don't go
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: too crazy, and a lot of these places know that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go crazy. The low information fan is the gift.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's like Wall Street tries to get that dumb money.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: The low information sports fan that sees a headline or
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: here's some dirt bag on the radio talking about something
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and then tries to ride the streak to the bank.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Try to ride that streak all the way in the bank.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You double dan when the deck's hot. You double dan
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: when the deck's hot. That's what you do. Now, the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: people that run the gambling houses know that eventually data
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: evens out right and there's a phrase I've used a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: lot over the years, the regression to the mean, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate ones. It's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons people think there's like there used
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to be this magazine packed people should heard magazines, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: there was a thing called Sports Illustrated. It was actually popular.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Well it was really popular because there were girls in
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: bikinis once a year, but then the rest of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: time they talked about sports and whoever was on the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: cover was supposedly like jinks, right, they're jinx and all that,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: but it was really because they were put on there
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: when they were at the peak of their performance and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: then there was a regression, so it was it was
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: seen as a jinx. Is the same thing like the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Madden video game cover. They say, well, you're on the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Madden game, you're not gonna play as well, and it's
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the same concept. There's a regression to the meat. So
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the same situation here is that things even out, and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: so essentially you're using the facial recognition technology if you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: will to spot the sucker, try to find the sucker,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and then you raise the stakes if you can find
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the sucker, that will just blindly bet on the torpedo things.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Just blindly bet on the torpedo bats all right now?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Final point, A roster shake up, A roster shakeup in Pittsburgh,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the Pirates. That's the only way I can talk about
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the parties. They have demoted. The Pittsburgh Pirates have demoted
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a not one, but two time All Star closer, David
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Bednar has been sent to the Who's goal. He's going
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. He's been demoted to Triple A baseball. Bednar's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: thirty years old. And to say that he has sucked
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: at a time he cannot suck, he is at the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: very tip of the vomit comet. To begin the season,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: he retired only three of the nine batters he faced
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in three different appearances for the Pittsburgh baseball team, and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: was tagged with a loss in two of them, walk
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: off losses by the Miami Marlins over the opening weekend.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So this guy was one of the top closers in baseball.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And back when I used to go to the baseball
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: games and hang out the scouting people, Oh, this guy's
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: unbelieve he's nasty. The guy's nasty, they would say. Right
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: with the movement, on the pitches and all that. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: what is the lesson for the Pittsburgh Pirates because they
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: could have traded this guy that many teams wanted him.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: What is the lesson for the Pittsburgh Pirates on demoting
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: former All Star closer David Bednar to the minor leagues?
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So this is a teachable moment. Don't be so stubborn,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and that comes from someone who's stubborn. Don't be so
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: stubborn because Pittsburgh Brass for some reason made Bednar, they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: made him untouchable, and it doesn't seem to make a
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: lot of sense, like they thought they were hoarding talent
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: so they could finish in last place or next to
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: last place in the National League's Central Division, absolute dog
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: food team. And if you're a bad team, the last
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: thing you need is a clothes That should be the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: first person you trade. Because you're bad, you're not going
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to have that many save opportunities, so that should be
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the person that you get rid of. And they were
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: using lines and paraphrasing, but they are committed to the core.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: This is a core guy, this guy David bednart So
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: how did that work out? Or the Pirates have been abysmal.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: They could have exchanged Bednart to the usual suspects. The Yankees,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the Texas Rangers were interested in this guy
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, and a bunch of other
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: premium teams. Really twenty twenty three was the year to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: trade him. They didn't do that, said, They dug in
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: their heels. They said, this is our guy. Well, the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: league figured him out, it appears. And the advice is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to follow the tower of power, as I call it,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the tower of power. What was that mean? There was
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a gentleman named Kevin Towers. He was the gem of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres and he was actually there when
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I when I worked in San Diego when I started
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in the radio. He passed away a number of years ago,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: but he worked for the Diamondbacks. And this guy was
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the maestro of how to build a bullpen. And he
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: did it on the cheap. But it's not so much
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that he did it on the cheap, because I don't
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: really care about that. The way that he constructed it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: He had this set of beliefs, these these tenants, if
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you will, of building a bullpen, and he would he
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: would never over invest, and he would preach about not
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: spending too much on the bullpen. And the reason he
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do that is because of the year to year volatility.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: It's like a highly volatile stock. You know, if you
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: invest in the stock market, they have the blue chip
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: stocks that are going to be around, and then they
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: have those risky stocks like I guess today Crypto would
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: be the one where he goes real high and then
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: real low and sometimes it never goes back up. And
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: so he understood Kevin Towers back in his day that
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: things fluctuate. So you could add a bunch of relievers
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that were terrible last season, and then the new environment,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: maybe they added another pitch, and it's just unpredictable. And
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: so the Lessons, like the Pirates, they were so committed
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to this guy Bednar they wouldn't trade him. And now
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: they've got a minor league relief pitcher that they could
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: have actually improved the roster a couple of years ago.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Bat job by them.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: To the third degree?
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: This is one gets great Falcon's coach Rahim Moore has
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: said that Cousins has made him and others aware that
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: he would like to be a starter, leading to the
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: thought that Cousins would be very willing to wave his
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: no trade clause. Ben, do you think Cousins to Cleveland
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: is in the works?
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, he was in Cleveland and at Chipotle. Nobody goes
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: to Cleveland on vacation. He was there last week. Of
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: course he was meeting with some people about the Browns job.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent that's in the works.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: You don't go to Cleveland in March unless you're planning
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: on working there, all right, So it's not like, as
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: far as we know, you don't have family there. Yes,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that's that. It would be a surprise if it doesn't happen.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Next Stephen Jones told the media on Monday that the team,
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys, is looking for an explosive number two option
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: behind Ceedee Lamb. Ben, there's not a lot of great
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: options left in free agency. You think the Cowboys would
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: trade up to get Travis Hunter.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't think it's Travis Hunt. I think it's
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Jerry's a star effort. Tyreek Hill's not happy
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: in Miami, even though he says, well, I didn't mean
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that he's sending out these vague emojis to try to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: get traded. So that's the guy. Tyreek Hill is gonna
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: get traded, whether it's to my from Miami to Dallas
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: or somewhere else. So that's the name, the big name.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I think Travis Hunter is going to the to the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Patriots at number four. Next.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: The Celtics just became the first team in NBA history
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: to play six straight road games and win them all
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: by double digits. Yeah, they've now won nine games in
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: a row overall. Do you think anyone's stopping the Celtics
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: this season?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Ben now? Not in the Eastern Conference, I don't see you.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I thought I was. I was optimistic at the Knickerbockers,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but they're so soft with Karl Anthony Towns. I just can't.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I can't fight into the Knicks. And that was to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: me the great hope there. I don't believe in the Cavaliers.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: So they'll definitely win the East. The NBA Finals is
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: gonna be a toss up because they'll be broken down
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: by that. How did we know he passes? That is
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a win, just like the pie, Just like the Pie Pie.
