- 2:00Speaker 1: so our lead this hour, I say, play the Hits.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I don't know if this is playing the hits, but
- 2:05Speaker 1: we do do a sports talk radio, so so plausitibly
- 2:08Speaker 1: we should talk about sports occasionally. And I took one
- 2:12Speaker 1: for the team. I watched the game in the dust bowl.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It's my public service to you to get back to
- 2:18Speaker 1: the community, get back to you so you don't have
- 2:20Speaker 1: to waste your time on this. But there I was
- 2:22Speaker 1: Game two NBA Finals, sitting on my took us as
- 2:26Speaker 1: Tyres Halliburton and the Pacers looking to steal another game
- 2:31Speaker 1: and do the unthinkable against SGA and the Thunder in
- 2:35Speaker 1: a finals that is has been the lowest rated finals
- 2:40Speaker 1: since they've kept track of this stuff. My god, Game one,
- 2:45Speaker 1: that's all we have until Game two. In Game one,
- 2:48Speaker 1: nobody watched. So I don't know if you checked it
- 2:50Speaker 1: out based on the early results. Probably not, and so
- 2:53Speaker 1: we did as we said, a PSA for you. So
- 2:56Speaker 1: Shay jogis Alexander. A big performance by the former Clipper.
- 3:02Speaker 1: That's what former Clippers do. Thirty four points. Alice Caruso,
- 3:06Speaker 1: he's a former Laker. They got rid of him. He's
- 3:09Speaker 1: one of there. They don't need him. There good players.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So Caruso had twenty off the bench and the thunder
- 3:17Speaker 1: get it done. They win, not from pillar to post,
- 3:21Speaker 1: but just about there. They beat the Indiana Pacers one
- 3:24Speaker 1: twenty three to one oh seven the final, and so
- 3:28Speaker 1: now we are squared up. It is a best of
- 3:30Speaker 1: five series. As the Pacers went to Indiana to get
- 3:34Speaker 1: the wins, so they get home court advantage as long
- 3:38Speaker 1: as they don't stub their toe at home. As long
- 3:41Speaker 1: as they don't stub their toe at home, they'll be
- 3:44Speaker 1: all right, so Jalen Williams said nineteen, Aaron Wiggins eighteen
- 3:48Speaker 1: and Chet Holmer with fifteen for the thunder and a
- 3:52Speaker 1: partridge to the pear tree as okay see wins. It
- 3:55Speaker 1: was the first time they've won a finals game since
- 3:59Speaker 1: many many years. Ago, back in twenty twelve. That was
- 4:02Speaker 1: back when guys like Kevin Durant and others were playing
- 4:05Speaker 1: for the Thunder that was against Miami. Game three is
- 4:08Speaker 1: not until Wednesday. Why because load management? Baby, you can't
- 4:12Speaker 1: expect these NBA players to have to have one day off?
- 4:15Speaker 1: Oh my god, No, what do you? What kind of
- 4:18Speaker 1: draconian ahole? Are you? What is wrong with you? The
- 4:22Speaker 1: MB is doing everything they can so no one watches
- 4:24Speaker 1: the finals. This just take a couple of days off
- 4:26Speaker 1: between games, all right, So they're taking two games off
- 4:28Speaker 1: Wednesday in Indianapolis. I can check that out, be the
- 4:32Speaker 1: first finals game since I was there twenty five years
- 4:36Speaker 1: ago when they played the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
- 4:38Speaker 1: The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And so let us discuss. We know on this show
- 4:44Speaker 1: we love losers, and let's start out there with the
- 4:48Speaker 1: Indiana because they're the big losers. They wear the scarlet
- 4:50Speaker 1: letter the giant L there on their chest. So what
- 4:53Speaker 1: went wrong? What went wrong for Tyrese Halliburton and the
- 4:58Speaker 1: Pacers in Game No. Two? So I've got that was
- 5:02Speaker 1: the wrong one. I talked about y MCA hammer and
- 5:07Speaker 1: dog Whistle and we will combine all of these things
- 5:11Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some delicious, delicious
- 5:18Speaker 1: apple fritters. The perfect donut is the apple fritter. There's
- 5:23Speaker 1: nothing that can quite match the apple fritter. Cinnamon roll
- 5:26Speaker 1: is also a fine donut, but the apple fritter at
- 5:29Speaker 1: the very top. So a when you play the let's
- 5:32Speaker 1: point the fingers game, and I love playing the let's
- 5:34Speaker 1: point the fingers game? What went wrong for the Pacers?
- 5:36Speaker 1: You point a finger over here? Yeah, you point a
- 5:38Speaker 1: finger over there, and you point a finger everywhere? Is
- 5:41Speaker 1: what you do? Why not? Right now? This was an
- 5:43Speaker 1: epic failure by the Indiana basketball team first stretches of
- 5:47Speaker 1: this game now mainly in the second quarter, but really
- 5:50Speaker 1: the first quarters, well, the first half, they were stuck
- 5:53Speaker 1: in sand. The first half of this game. Indiana looked
- 5:58Speaker 1: like they had forgotten how to play basketball all So,
- 6:01Speaker 1: what happens? You spent a couple of extra days in Oklahoma?
- 6:03Speaker 1: You just don't know what you're doing? My god? Uh?
- 6:06Speaker 1: First up, let's start with the headliner, Tyrese Haliburton. Are
- 6:10Speaker 1: you bleeping kidding me? All right? Are you getting this
- 6:13Speaker 1: guy's the engine? Right? True? He's the engine there and
- 6:18Speaker 1: ice water point Guard Captain Clutch. Nobody forget Jalen Runson
- 6:22Speaker 1: right now, four big game winning shots in the playoffs.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Here for Halliburton, he's the guy, and he's gotta be
- 6:29Speaker 1: the guy. You can't be the guy if you're not
- 6:31Speaker 1: the guy. And he wasn't the guy against SGA. If
- 6:34Speaker 1: Andy's gonna keep this series going humming along hum hum
- 6:37Speaker 1: hum hum. No, there were no there was no humming.
- 6:39Speaker 1: It was chop chop, chop chop chop.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Uh.
- 6:42Speaker 1: He was out there. And the way he played in
- 6:45Speaker 1: the first half of this game, side by side comparison,
- 6:50Speaker 1: all right, the real talk. I know he didn't call
- 6:52Speaker 1: sho anymore this real time. So the way Halliburton played
- 6:55Speaker 1: in the first half, especially the second quarter, he would
- 6:58Speaker 1: not have been picked at a YMCA pickup game the
- 7:02Speaker 1: way he was performing. Man, where was the aggression? They
- 7:06Speaker 1: takes some sleeping pills prior to the game. Halliburton, Hello,
- 7:10Speaker 1: and the elite playmaking, we've seen it, but it wasn't there,
- 7:15Speaker 1: not in the first half. And you know, listen, Thunder
- 7:18Speaker 1: have a good defensive team. But let's not get carried away.
- 7:21Speaker 1: This is more about what Halliburton didn't do than any
- 7:24Speaker 1: amazing adjustment that the Oklahoma City basketball team did do.
- 7:30Speaker 1: And Haliburton is supposed to be a one percenter, that
- 7:33Speaker 1: he's crossed the rubicon and he's a one percent talent
- 7:36Speaker 1: and you're gonna get it done against everybody anywhere anyhow, anyway,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and that was not happening in this game in the
- 7:43Speaker 1: first half. And the malor report card on this Tyrene
- 7:48Speaker 1: Saliburton picking up an I rating, not an A, not
- 7:51Speaker 1: a B, not a C, not a D, not an iraty.
- 7:54Speaker 1: That's for the ick factor, because there was a lot
- 7:56Speaker 1: of ick. Right. He's the spirit animal of the Pacers.
- 8:02Speaker 1: He is the spirit animal of the Pacers, and the
- 8:06Speaker 1: animal was taking a nap and when the game was
- 8:10Speaker 1: being decided, and in this game, the game was being
- 8:13Speaker 1: decided in the first half here he was a real clunker.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I don't know how many other ways I can say it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Got to figure out, got to figure out how to
- 8:21Speaker 1: break through game after game, right, no days off all
- 8:25Speaker 1: that stuff, and break the pressure of Oklahoma City and
- 8:28Speaker 1: not wilt under the pressure, which is what appeared to
- 8:32Speaker 1: be happening here. The Pacers offense was stagnant in the
- 8:36Speaker 1: first half. That's not something we are used to seeing.
- 8:38Speaker 1: This is one of the top offensive teams, if not
- 8:40Speaker 1: the top offensive team in the NBA, and it starts
- 8:43Speaker 1: with Haliburt. It starts with him, and Oklahoma City boxed
- 8:47Speaker 1: him up. The Thunder built up an eighteen point lead
- 8:50Speaker 1: at halftime, and they didn't trail in the entire second
- 8:54Speaker 1: I have Indiana shot less than thirty five percent in
- 8:57Speaker 1: the first half of this game and had just four
- 9:00Speaker 1: one points at halftime, which is not very good. That
- 9:03Speaker 1: played better than second half, but it was all extended
- 9:05Speaker 1: garbage time. Halliburton when the game was decided in the
- 9:08Speaker 1: first half, he was one of five shooting, made one
- 9:11Speaker 1: more basket than you and I made in the first half,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and three assists in twenty four minutes of action. And
- 9:18Speaker 1: the Pacers, listen, they played well in the second half,
- 9:21Speaker 1: but it was a lot of stat stuffing and stat
- 9:24Speaker 1: bandito and whatnot. And we often point out how that
- 9:29Speaker 1: is something we don't give credit to. Garbage time stat
- 9:33Speaker 1: stuffing doesn't really do it for us. And then you
- 9:35Speaker 1: got Rick Carlisle who was holding the game console. He
- 9:40Speaker 1: was he had the joystick and he was moving around
- 9:42Speaker 1: the vomit comet, the Indiana coach there, he had the joystick,
- 9:45Speaker 1: was moving around the vomit comet. The Pacers played like
- 9:48Speaker 1: they were content to win Game one, which they did win.
- 9:51Speaker 1: They won a game. You won a game. Congratulations, you
- 9:57Speaker 1: got it done. On the road way to go all right,
- 10:00Speaker 1: and Carlisle, championship coach, all that stuff, you can kiss
- 10:04Speaker 1: his ass because he's got the championship pedigree. He's supposed
- 10:07Speaker 1: to be one of the top coaches. I mean he
- 10:09Speaker 1: is often, but this was not his night here. He
- 10:11Speaker 1: looked like he drew up the game plan on a
- 10:14Speaker 1: napkin at some dive bar that they went to in
- 10:17Speaker 1: the Greater Indianapolis area in between games on the day
- 10:21Speaker 1: off there as the thunder or. They were playing with
- 10:25Speaker 1: the kind of edge that you would expect expect a
- 10:28Speaker 1: team to play with in this situation, and the Pacers
- 10:32Speaker 1: did not match it. They were not able to match
- 10:34Speaker 1: the running around like a headless chicken activity. So you
- 10:39Speaker 1: got Rick Carlisle too many adjustments here. Not a great
- 10:44Speaker 1: night for the Pacers, and so they lose, and they
- 10:46Speaker 1: lose in a game that wasn't all that close. Here
- 10:50Speaker 1: is Carlisle pointing out the first half was not a masterpiece.
- 10:55Speaker 6: Another bad first half. Obviously it was a big problem
- 10:59Speaker 6: and we just played poorly. A little better than the
- 11:02Speaker 6: second half, but you can't be a team that's reactive
- 11:06Speaker 6: and expect to be successful or half consistency. So we're
- 11:10Speaker 6: gonna feel a lot better on Wednesday.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Can we get him a throat Lazrange. It sounds like
- 11:14Speaker 1: he's got a little throat issue there. Maybe some some
- 11:17Speaker 1: water with salt, garlic. I recommend garlic. That's my go to.
- 11:21Speaker 1: It normally works for me. Now, one of our favorites
- 11:24Speaker 1: and for us, the greatest name in the history of
- 11:27Speaker 1: the NBA, friend Marcel and Brooklyn. Pascal Siakam uh Siakam
- 11:32Speaker 1: had a quiet game. He was three of eleven shooting. Yeah,
- 11:34Speaker 1: he didn't really do much of anything when the game
- 11:37Speaker 1: was in the bounce or even when it wasn't in
- 11:39Speaker 1: the bounce, and hey, Pascal, what the hell happened?
- 11:42Speaker 5: It was pretty close in the beginning. I mean, I
- 11:44Speaker 5: think just a lot on n set buckets, maybe some
- 11:49Speaker 5: key toneovers that we can take away. But yeah, they
- 11:51Speaker 5: did a good job being being disruptive, and they got
- 11:55Speaker 5: out in transition, and yeah, they made some tough shots.
- 11:58Speaker 5: I mean, they got guys that contributed across the boarding,
- 12:01Speaker 5: They got off the bench, guys made some big shots,
- 12:05Speaker 5: they got rebounds. You know. Yeah, they just did a
- 12:08Speaker 5: little bit of the little things, like more than we did.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I would say more than just the little things. But
- 12:13Speaker 1: we'll move on now on the other side. Page two.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. So this is what was expected. This was
- 12:20Speaker 1: the analysis when everyone was licking the toes of OKC.
- 12:25Speaker 1: It was this is where they're going to play every
- 12:27Speaker 1: single game. So have Oklahoma City and SGA now regained
- 12:32Speaker 1: complete and total control of the NBA Finals after this
- 12:37Speaker 1: body blow of a win. Have they regained control? So
- 12:41Speaker 1: that would be a premature take, right, That would be
- 12:44Speaker 1: a premature take. All the Thunder did was avoid getting
- 12:49Speaker 1: blown into the tornado, getting blown into the tour. If
- 12:52Speaker 1: they had lost again at home, that would have been
- 12:55Speaker 1: def Con one. If they lose at home back to back,
- 12:59Speaker 1: that's what the knicker Bokers did against the Pacers. They'd
- 13:02Speaker 1: have been on life support if that had happened there.
- 13:05Speaker 1: And so that did not happen, so you don't have
- 13:07Speaker 1: to worry about that. But Oklahoma City, they just again
- 13:09Speaker 1: they played at a different speed, which is a lot
- 13:12Speaker 1: to do with the Pacers more than it is against
- 13:14Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City. You expected them to play with that.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You did not expect Indiana to come out there and lollygag,
- 13:19Speaker 1: which is what they did here and the thunder guy.
- 13:21Speaker 1: They got more rebounds, they had more steals, more fast
- 13:24Speaker 1: break points than the Pacers. The fifty to fifty balls,
- 13:28Speaker 1: I love my fifty to fifty balls. I live for
- 13:32Speaker 1: fifty to fifty balls. Remember Phil Jackson back in the days,
- 13:35Speaker 1: the hands on balls, that was his big mantra. Loved
- 13:38Speaker 1: hands on balls, so all right, loose balls grabbing them.
- 13:42Speaker 1: It seemed like it was like eighty ninety five percent
- 13:46Speaker 1: Oklahoma City on those particular situations. And Oklahoma City plays
- 13:50Speaker 1: regularly diving on the floor to secure loose balls to
- 13:53Speaker 1: extend possessions. Didn't see too much of that, certainly not
- 13:56Speaker 1: as much as we're used to from the Indiana basketball
- 13:58Speaker 1: team in this game. And then you have Chaed Holmer,
- 14:02Speaker 1: who brought the golden hammer. The golden hammer he brought
- 14:06Speaker 1: down there with the timely offense in the first half,
- 14:10Speaker 1: the early damage from skeletor. I mentioned that you're Indiana,
- 14:14Speaker 1: you lost a skeletor. He was big. He was big.
- 14:16Speaker 1: He was called like any he was big. In the
- 14:18Speaker 1: first half he had fifteen points and six rebounds, but
- 14:22Speaker 1: eleven points and four rebounds in the first half, and
- 14:25Speaker 1: that second quarter run when Oklahoma City took control of
- 14:29Speaker 1: the game and never gave up the momentum you idiots
- 14:32Speaker 1: like to talk about. All right, So timing does matter,
- 14:34Speaker 1: Timing doesn't matter, all right? Now, last word, So we
- 14:37Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Game one was a total dud, My total dud,
- 14:43Speaker 1: the lowest ratings in the modern era, going back to
- 14:45Speaker 1: the eighties, going back to Ronald Reagan as president. Oh
- 14:49Speaker 1: my god, it sucked, and just a few things in life.
- 14:53Speaker 1: This is something we expected it to happen to happen.
- 14:55Speaker 1: So I noticed ant of you noticed here. As you know,
- 14:58Speaker 1: I generally tried to avoid Doris Burr because like most people,
- 15:01Speaker 1: I like good broadcasting. She's not good. But for a
- 15:03Speaker 1: few minutes, in a moment of weakness, I had the broadcasting.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I made a mistake. But during that couple of minutes
- 15:09Speaker 1: I had the audio up. I heard Mike Breen, the
- 15:12Speaker 1: play by play announcer, who emphasized that the thunder Pacer
- 15:17Speaker 1: series was great for people who love pure basketball. That
- 15:22Speaker 1: was the line, right, pure basketball? Okay, So what is
- 15:27Speaker 1: your rebuttal to that particular line from the lead voice
- 15:30Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals. So that is a roll your
- 15:33Speaker 1: eyes response? Is what that is? You roll your eyes
- 15:36Speaker 1: when you hear somebody say pure basketball because it's nonsense, right,
- 15:41Speaker 1: It's poppy cock, is what it is. Here, give me
- 15:45Speaker 1: a bleeping break. Pure basketball, my fat ass pure basketball.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You know what else is pure? I'm not a big
- 15:52Speaker 1: drinker of this, but skim milk is pure. You want
- 15:55Speaker 1: to drink skim milk? Knock yourself out, No thanks. And
- 15:59Speaker 1: by the way, last night checked, this is not the
- 16:02Speaker 1: nineteen eighties here where the basketball hardos are sitting there
- 16:06Speaker 1: with their pants down watching the back door cuts getting
- 16:10Speaker 1: all excited. That's not the way this works. It didn't
- 16:12Speaker 1: work then either. By the way it didn't work then either.
- 16:14Speaker 1: That's what's called narrow casting, not broadcasting. And there are
- 16:19Speaker 1: not enough. It is a proven fact there are not
- 16:21Speaker 1: enough basketball hardos to provide a big enough audience for
- 16:28Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. We prove that in Game one. That
- 16:31Speaker 1: will continue to be a place you need the case,
- 16:33Speaker 1: you need to attract the casual. You need to attract
- 16:36Speaker 1: the run of the mill Joe blow fan. That's you
- 16:39Speaker 1: need your track. They don't care about the purity of
- 16:43Speaker 1: the game. It doesn't matter, right, it doesn't matter. And
- 16:46Speaker 1: pure basketball is also at dog whistles what it is?
- 16:49Speaker 1: Let me call it like it is. Right. When you
- 16:50Speaker 1: say pure basketball, it's code for there's no stars. Right,
- 16:55Speaker 1: the teams aren't popular. And let me just gaslight you,
- 17:00Speaker 1: the viewer, and shame you. And to think, abou if
- 17:02Speaker 1: you watch you're a pure basketball fan, you're like a
- 17:04Speaker 1: better fan. It's some kind of basketball utopia. Bull crap,
- 17:10Speaker 1: it's not. I mean god, this is the perfect trifecta.
- 17:14Speaker 1: It's the perfect trifecta. No, what is You got no stars,
- 17:17Speaker 1: You've got no compelling storylines and no ratings? Ding ding
- 17:22Speaker 1: ding ding. That's what you got, right. Do you think
- 17:24Speaker 1: the average fan cares about a dribble handoff and gets
- 17:28Speaker 1: all aroused because they see off the ball movement? Come on, like,
- 17:33Speaker 1: what are you doing right? No, they want the personality.
- 17:36Speaker 1: They want that, they want the good guys, the villains.
- 17:40Speaker 1: There's none of that. There's none of that. And it's
- 17:43Speaker 1: like a traveling all star team. The Thunder. I don't
- 17:47Speaker 1: mean that Ni Conway. I mean like an AAU team,
- 17:49Speaker 1: the way they react after games and whatnot. Here and
- 17:53Speaker 1: nobody is going to circle the Thunder and the Pacers
- 17:57Speaker 1: and say, man, I gotta watch it if you're in
- 18:00Speaker 1: Oklahoma or Indiana and but maybe not. You know, even
- 18:03Speaker 1: then you're like, you know, I gotta got some stuff
- 18:06Speaker 1: I've saved up on the streaming. I might need to
- 18:08Speaker 1: watch that, you know so, but I'll watch it for
- 18:10Speaker 1: it again. It's my public service. I'm watching it for you.
- 18:13Speaker 1: I'm a basketball hurdle bit.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I love it.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Okay, I don't don't call. I don't need to hear that.
- 18:18Speaker 1: You're you're you're on an island. So I'm a purist
- 18:21Speaker 1: of basketball. Yeah, I'm sure you are. Eight congratulated. I'll
- 18:24Speaker 1: give you a cookie.

- 18:40Speaker 1: another hour of The Ben Malor Show. We are in
- 18:44Speaker 1: the air everywhere, just ordinary people. As we got that
- 18:51Speaker 1: magic carpet ride coast to coast, border the border and
- 18:55Speaker 1: beond on the mast. Eh splashly powerful microphone of fs
- 19:00Speaker 1: are emmating live from the circus, the overnight chit chat
- 19:07Speaker 1: circus the Fox Sports radio studios, as approved by the
- 19:11Speaker 1: Green Bay Gobbler. Who knows that this portion of the
- 19:15Speaker 1: Ben Malor show maybe possible in part by our friends
- 19:19Speaker 1: at tire Rack. That's right. For over forty years, it's
- 19:23Speaker 1: a long time, Alf tells me. That's a long time.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
- 19:27Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive fast and free
- 19:32Speaker 1: back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
- 19:36Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com, Theoadtire Buying Show.
- 19:42Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the A T L.
- 19:47Speaker 1: The atl The dirty birds aren't doing a damn thing.
- 19:52Speaker 1: They're not They're not having If you saw this, you
- 19:55Speaker 1: might know where I'm going with it. Maybe not. You know,
- 19:58Speaker 1: I love talking Atlanta Falcon football. Are we not on
- 20:01Speaker 1: the pulse of the people. Don't answer that we have
- 20:05Speaker 1: a trade rumor update, a trade rumor update. The word
- 20:09Speaker 1: on the street. The word on the street is that
- 20:12Speaker 1: the Falcons have been desperately trying to trade quarterback Kirk Cousins,
- 20:18Speaker 1: or they got him last offseason. They were all excited
- 20:21Speaker 1: about that, and then they drafted another quarterback, so they've
- 20:24Speaker 1: been trying to get rid of him, and now the
- 20:26Speaker 1: quarterback market is bone dry. According to the latest reporting,
- 20:30Speaker 1: Atlanta was eager to say bye bye to Cousins and
- 20:36Speaker 1: until they weren't, and then turned out they didn't really
- 20:38Speaker 1: want to eat the big portion of the contract that
- 20:44Speaker 1: would have been required there. They didn't have enough barbecue
- 20:46Speaker 1: sauce in Atlanta to do that, And so now the
- 20:48Speaker 1: quarterback carousel has begun. Cousins is left searching for a ride.
- 20:55Speaker 1: He's I want on the carousel and the horse is not,
- 21:00Speaker 1: in fact that very odd that a horse on a
- 21:02Speaker 1: carousel would leave the barn, but that appears to be
- 21:04Speaker 1: what happened here, and so supposedly Pittsburgh was the last
- 21:10Speaker 1: best shot for Kirk Cousins until Aaron Rogers knocked on
- 21:15Speaker 1: the door and they opened the door. And that's it.
- 21:20Speaker 1: So long story short, three words. Nobody wants him. Nobody
- 21:26Speaker 1: wants him. So let us discuss the question stuck in Atlanta.
- 21:32Speaker 1: What is the forecast? What is the forecast? For Kirk Cousins'
- 21:36Speaker 1: NFL future at this moment two day. So I've got tumbleweeds,
- 21:41Speaker 1: advanced degree, and dandy dawn, and we will combine all
- 21:47Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
- 21:51Speaker 1: some twisted pizza dough is what we're going to make.
- 21:54Speaker 1: So number on the forecast. And we're never wrong about
- 22:00Speaker 1: these things because we have the power of the bully pulpit,
- 22:02Speaker 1: the power of the microphone, the power of the headphones,
- 22:05Speaker 1: the tools of ignorance. So the forecast for kirk Cousins
- 22:09Speaker 1: NFL future, looking at the long term weather modules, right,
- 22:13Speaker 1: looking at all the models and modules and all that stuff.
- 22:16Speaker 1: The Doppler radar left behind by Roberto who quit radio
- 22:21Speaker 1: to live his dream as a bus driver. So the
- 22:24Speaker 1: Doppler radar shows here that the Falcons are experiencing what's
- 22:30Speaker 1: known as climate whiplash. It's a relatively new term climate whiplash,
- 22:35Speaker 1: but the rapid shift between posing weather extremes opposing weather extremes,
- 22:42Speaker 1: from a flooding to drought, from flooding to drought trout.
- 22:47Speaker 1: So we are talking about a desolate desert devoid of
- 22:50Speaker 1: any precipitation, a desolate desert devoid of any precipitation and
- 22:57Speaker 1: a market that is the only thing you can see
- 23:00Speaker 1: moving around is tumbleweeds. It's a lot of tumbleweeds blowing around.
- 23:04Speaker 1: That's an invasive speeches that came to America from Russia
- 23:08Speaker 1: and stuck there. His cousins on the dance floor. Now
- 23:11Speaker 1: he is on the dance floor. That's the good news.
- 23:13Speaker 1: He's doing the dance move, the limbo, how low can
- 23:17Speaker 1: you go? How low can you go? And no trades. Really,
- 23:21Speaker 1: what he's waiting for is breakfast. Kirk Cousins is waiting
- 23:25Speaker 1: for breakfast because he knows at one point in the
- 23:28Speaker 1: upcoming month and then the next two months actually because
- 23:31Speaker 1: you know, we're doing the show in early June, and
- 23:34Speaker 1: you've got the rest of this month and then most
- 23:36Speaker 1: of July before training camp opens up. Somewhere between now
- 23:41Speaker 1: an early part of training camp, a quarterback in the NFL,
- 23:44Speaker 1: a starting quarterback will go out and have a big
- 23:46Speaker 1: bowl of rice crispies and they'll have a little milk,
- 23:50Speaker 1: and then they'll take the spoon and they'll put the
- 23:52Speaker 1: spoon in and then they'll have snap, crackle, pop. And
- 23:54Speaker 1: at that point when you have the snap crackle and pop.
- 23:57Speaker 1: That means you need another quarterback now. Is that Mahomes
- 24:01Speaker 1: hurting his ankle? Is that Josh Allen going a little
- 24:04Speaker 1: too heavy on his honeymoon and having a groin injury.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I don't know. Is that Lamar Jackson having a knee problem?
- 24:11Speaker 1: Who knows? But Boom goes to Dynamite and that is
- 24:15Speaker 1: when the portal will open up again for Kirk Cousins.
- 24:18Speaker 1: And the Saints are the only team, the only one
- 24:22Speaker 1: that does not have a quarterback in the NFL. They're
- 24:24Speaker 1: not even trying the fact that they're not even trying
- 24:27Speaker 1: in the Orleans woul lead you to believe that they're
- 24:29Speaker 1: just tanking and they're one of the teams is going
- 24:31Speaker 1: to try to get Arch Manning for marketing reasons and
- 24:34Speaker 1: do the whole Manning family connection thing and all that stuff.
- 24:37Speaker 1: And so that's it. Now Atlanta does have to act
- 24:41Speaker 1: relatively fast. And the reason they have to act relatively
- 24:43Speaker 1: fast is because they're banking on Raheem Morris, who somehow
- 24:47Speaker 1: has a head coaching job in the NFL game. Raheem
- 24:49Speaker 1: Morris and the Falcons are banking on the second year
- 24:54Speaker 1: jumpity jump for Michael Pennex Junior that he's gonna jump
- 24:59Speaker 1: on a trampoline and to the moon, to the moon,
- 25:03Speaker 1: to the moon, to the moon. And so you gotta
- 25:05Speaker 1: clear the runway, gotta get rid of the things on
- 25:08Speaker 1: the room. Wane Cousins. Right now is some debris that's
- 25:12Speaker 1: clearing the possible takeoff of Michael Pennix. You and your
- 25:16Speaker 1: now page two. We did have a pending pending roster
- 25:20Speaker 1: move over the weekend. What is the pending roster move?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Nick Chubb a loblub formerly known as Nick Chubb. Nick
- 25:29Speaker 1: Chubb a lovelob, the former I say, former Cleveland Browns
- 25:34Speaker 1: running back coming off back to back seasons with massive
- 25:39Speaker 1: career altering injuries. Well, Nick Chubb has reportedly agreed to
- 25:43Speaker 1: a deal with a new team. He is taking his
- 25:46Speaker 1: talents to the Texans, pending a physical. That's a big
- 25:50Speaker 1: pending a physical addendum, So are you giving this move
- 25:55Speaker 1: a thumbs up or a thumb's down? Nick Chubb going
- 26:01Speaker 1: to Houston after a thorough review, a minutes long, minutes
- 26:06Speaker 1: long deliberation, with our copious amounts of research, we are
- 26:09Speaker 1: giving this a full thumbs up. Now, not two thumbs up,
- 26:13Speaker 1: but one full solid thumbs up the thumb, standing high
- 26:17Speaker 1: and proud. It is smart football. It is smart football
- 26:21Speaker 1: because it's it's a short term deal. It's a power play,
- 26:24Speaker 1: power play by the Texas. So Houston is not betting
- 26:30Speaker 1: the family jewels. Right, that's a one year low risk
- 26:33Speaker 1: if the reports are Accurate's one year low risk contract
- 26:36Speaker 1: is that it's a flyer. You know, when you park
- 26:39Speaker 1: your car and at like a sporting event or a
- 26:41Speaker 1: concert and you come out and there's a flyer on
- 26:44Speaker 1: the windshield wiper. That's all this is. It's a flyer.
- 26:48Speaker 1: They put that out. Maybe one out of two thousand
- 26:50Speaker 1: people will actually buy the product. But you're just doing that, right.
- 26:54Speaker 1: He's a guy who was on a dog food Cleveland team,
- 27:01Speaker 1: a spark play Nick Chubb so went healthy and that
- 27:05Speaker 1: is a massive, massive win. That's any ifs and butts
- 27:09Speaker 1: were candy and nuts, you'd celebrate every day, but you don't. Right,
- 27:14Speaker 1: And when he's right, he's got the breakaway ability or
- 27:18Speaker 1: had the breakaway ability of a top five running back
- 27:21Speaker 1: in the NFL. Explosive efficient powerful a nightmare for opposing
- 27:27Speaker 1: defensive players here, and the problem is his doppelganger has
- 27:32Speaker 1: been Humpty dumpty, and when your doppelganger is Humpty Dumpty,
- 27:36Speaker 1: it does not go well. Right. Forget the spaghetti and
- 27:39Speaker 1: meatballs because he left the spaghetti out. What Nick Chubb
- 27:43Speaker 1: has been doing the last couple of years is adding
- 27:46Speaker 1: meat ball surgery after meatball surgery. He's twenty nine and
- 27:51Speaker 1: Chubb has not played a full game since what Week
- 27:56Speaker 1: fourteen last season, and then the year before he got
- 27:58Speaker 1: hurt and I think it was a week two. I
- 28:01Speaker 1: believe it was week two of the regular season. So
- 28:02Speaker 1: it's been a while since he played all the games.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And he's a crash test dummy, is what he is.
- 28:09Speaker 1: And so he's got he had the sprained ankle, and
- 28:12Speaker 1: he had the ligament messed up in his knee and
- 28:15Speaker 1: is a complete just everything was shredded, shred tred tred tred,
- 28:19Speaker 1: shred tred t red. And so he had the heel,
- 28:22Speaker 1: the ACL that was the bugaboo, and then he had
- 28:27Speaker 1: the broken foot this past season, and now he is
- 28:32Speaker 1: I understand it if he does pass the physical, which
- 28:35Speaker 1: is very hard not to pass if the team wants
- 28:37Speaker 1: he it's very hard not to pass the physical. And
- 28:40Speaker 1: they brought Chubb in and so I would assume Houston
- 28:42Speaker 1: wants him. Why else would they do that. They could
- 28:45Speaker 1: just you know, go out and sign mister irrigation to
- 28:47Speaker 1: play running back. But anyway, nonetheless, so Nick Chobb will
- 28:51Speaker 1: not be asked to be the bell cow back. It's
- 28:52Speaker 1: going to be an ensemble backfield because you're gonna have
- 28:55Speaker 1: Nick Chubb back there and Joe mix it. So that's
- 28:58Speaker 1: the one two punch, which means Nick Chubb would be
- 29:03Speaker 1: what he would be the goal line, goal line kind
- 29:07Speaker 1: of closer. That type of running back does not have
- 29:11Speaker 1: to be Superman and leap tall buildings in a single
- 29:15Speaker 1: you know what. And as Larry David will say, that
- 29:17Speaker 1: would be pretty pretty good if you can mix and
- 29:20Speaker 1: match and intertwine Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb, right, and
- 29:25Speaker 1: if you're getting seventy or eighty percent of what Nick
- 29:28Speaker 1: Chubb had been back in the day, Okay, as a
- 29:31Speaker 1: part time player, that's not a bad situation, being all
- 29:34Speaker 1: right now. Final points, speaking of disheveled running backs. Disheveled
- 29:39Speaker 1: running backs dateline buffalo store that has been percolating over
- 29:44Speaker 1: the last couple of days in Upstate New York. The
- 29:49Speaker 1: team that fancies themselves a super Bowl contender, but always
- 29:53Speaker 1: finds a way to screw things up in the playoffs.
- 29:55Speaker 1: The Buffalo of Bells James Cook, the lead running back
- 30:00Speaker 1: in Buffalo James Cook. Let's just say that he is
- 30:04Speaker 1: not planning on showing up to Buffalo. He wants nothing
- 30:09Speaker 1: to do with Buffalo. He wants no part of that
- 30:14Speaker 1: city or that region at all. The Bills running back
- 30:19Speaker 1: and not close to a new deal. In fact, the
- 30:21Speaker 1: team's pretty much said we're not giving you a new deal.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And he has put his house on the market. That
- 30:29Speaker 1: was originally an internet rumor. Apparently it's been confirmed and
- 30:33Speaker 1: has some recent commentary that he's already looking around for
- 30:37Speaker 1: his new team and all that stuff. So what does
- 30:40Speaker 1: all this tell you? What if it doesn't hit you
- 30:43Speaker 1: right right in the schnaz, what does this tell you?
- 30:46Speaker 1: So it tells me everything I need to know. The
- 30:49Speaker 1: classic tune from a different era in the NFL, bringing
- 30:52Speaker 1: Dandy Dawn, Don Meredith, turn out the lots the parties
- 30:57Speaker 1: over a sealer. It's business, It's more than that though,
- 31:02Speaker 1: it's not just business personal right, this person Cook is cooked.
- 31:08Speaker 1: He is cooked in a Bill's uniform. He gone, He
- 31:12Speaker 1: is mentally checked out, and once a player has mentally
- 31:15Speaker 1: checked out, that's it. Go to HR, fill out the paperwork.
- 31:20Speaker 1: You're done. You're done. You're disconnected. He is disconnected from
- 31:25Speaker 1: the organization. And James Cook is not just skipping workouts, said, well,
- 31:31Speaker 1: who cares, it's June. He's not just skipping workouts. He's
- 31:35Speaker 1: essentially skipping zip codes. He's like, I'm out, and you
- 31:39Speaker 1: don't list your house for sale like that. Remember Tom
- 31:42Speaker 1: Brady before he left the Patriots, he put his house
- 31:45Speaker 1: on the market and there were people like, well, that
- 31:48Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. He was like, oh, generally, it's a
- 31:53Speaker 1: pain in the ass to move, even when you're rich.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I know, when you're rich, you can have a bunch
- 31:56Speaker 1: of people move your crap. But it's still a pain
- 31:59Speaker 1: in the butt to take everything in your DMV, your
- 32:03Speaker 1: driver's license address, change, everything has to be changed. It's
- 32:08Speaker 1: a pain in the book. So you only do that
- 32:10Speaker 1: when you have to do it right. And so the
- 32:13Speaker 1: fact that James Cook is proactively getting rid of where
- 32:16Speaker 1: he lives, that is a dead giveaway. You've got a
- 32:20Speaker 1: contract squabble. The team's pretty much said you're not that important,
- 32:24Speaker 1: and really that's what that that This gets down to you.
- 32:27Speaker 1: James Cook put up solid numbers in Buffalo last year.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Is a yin to the yang into the yang of
- 32:34Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And this is not hey, I just want
- 32:37Speaker 1: a little more money or a couple of bonuses tossed
- 32:40Speaker 1: into the contract. This is not that. It's more than that, right,
- 32:44Speaker 1: This is a James Cook bird is the word. He's
- 32:48Speaker 1: given the bird to the organization. And he's already thinking
- 32:52Speaker 1: about where do I want to be in September? Do
- 32:54Speaker 1: I want to be Miami? Do I want to be
- 32:55Speaker 1: Where do I want to be a Chargers? Where would
- 32:57Speaker 1: I like to go? Pick your team man? Not in Buffalo,
- 33:01Speaker 1: not in Bubble, somewhere else. He would like to be
- 33:04Speaker 1: somewhere else. He's ghosting New York. And it's kind of
- 33:08Speaker 1: like go back to the pandemic a couple of years back,
- 33:11Speaker 1: and many of us found out whether we were essential
- 33:15Speaker 1: employees or non essential employees, like, for example, you would
- 33:18Speaker 1: think overnight talk radio not essential. I found out during
- 33:22Speaker 1: the pandemic very essential. In fact, they gave us cards
- 33:27Speaker 1: if they had martial law, which I maybe they'll have
- 33:30Speaker 1: here in LA with what's going on these days. But
- 33:32Speaker 1: they gave us a card. We're allowed to work because
- 33:35Speaker 1: the people need sports takes no matter what. So we
- 33:38Speaker 1: are essential employees doing overnight talk radio. But if you're
- 33:41Speaker 1: a running back for the Buffalo Bills, you are non essential.
- 33:44Speaker 1: You are non essential. You are not part of the
- 33:47Speaker 1: critical infrastructure that is that football team, clearly, and I
- 33:51Speaker 1: don't disagree with that by the Bills front office. He's
- 33:55Speaker 1: not a one percent running back, James Cook, But you
- 34:01Speaker 1: can find somebody else. Josh Allen will open things up,
- 34:05Speaker 1: and you have a decent offensive line, you'll figure it out.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
- 34:11Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
- 34:15Speaker 1: How about that to the third degree?
- 34:18Speaker 2: This is one big then gets grilled cool.
- 34:23Speaker 7: Earlier this year, former Colts coach Chuck Pagano came out
- 34:26Speaker 7: of retirement to join the Ravens as their secondary coach.
- 34:29Speaker 7: He was recently asked if he aspires to be a
- 34:31Speaker 7: head coach again, and he said emphatically no, he's had
- 34:34Speaker 7: enough of head coaching.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Do you believe him? Yeah, I do believe. It's been
- 34:39Speaker 1: almost ten years since he was a head coach. He
- 34:41Speaker 1: coached the Colts. I love Pagano is a great sound
- 34:43Speaker 1: by he's almost sixty five. I think he's just tired
- 34:47Speaker 1: of the bull crap and he just wants to coach
- 34:49Speaker 1: and it's fun being a position coach and he can
- 34:52Speaker 1: play grab ass with everyone on this Generally, I think
- 34:55Speaker 1: most of these guys are lying when they say they
- 34:56Speaker 1: don't want to be head coach. But in this case, no,
- 34:59Speaker 1: I believe McConnell's being one hundred percent reel and he
- 35:03Speaker 1: knows he's not gonna be a head coach, and he's
- 35:05Speaker 1: like he's happy just kind of hanging out and being
- 35:07Speaker 1: part of the Ravens coaching chef.
- 35:08Speaker 7: Next, the Steelers have not had a losing record since
- 35:11Speaker 7: the two thousand and three season under Bill Kauer. That's
- 35:15Speaker 7: a twenty one straight years of finishing five hundred or better.
- 35:17Speaker 7: As the Street continue with Aaron Rodgers.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Yes, because they've proven they've had suck quarterbacks in Pittsburgh
- 35:24Speaker 1: since even in the end of Roethlisberger, they were pretty bad.
- 35:28Speaker 1: And so the Steelers defense is good enough to win
- 35:31Speaker 1: by itself seven games, let's say, right, so they'll win
- 35:35Speaker 1: seven because of the defense, and then the offense will
- 35:37Speaker 1: win at least two or three, So they'll get to
- 35:39Speaker 1: that nine or ten win mark and Tomlin is a
- 35:42Speaker 1: good regular season coach. He hasn't been a good playoff coach.
- 35:46Speaker 1: But with TJ. Watt and Patrick Queen and what they
- 35:50Speaker 1: have on defense and Hayward and those guys, they'll win
- 35:52Speaker 1: at least nine games next.
- 35:54Speaker 7: The Celtics are widely expected to be active on the
- 35:56Speaker 7: trade market this summer. In recent recording, says rival teams
- 35:59Speaker 7: are operating as if Boston will have a little something
- 36:01Speaker 7: for everybody.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Yeah, then what Boston players do you expect to be
- 36:04Speaker 1: gone next year? Well, definitely Holiday, Drew Holiday is going
- 36:07Speaker 1: to be traded, Porzingis will likely be gone. The big
- 36:10Speaker 1: one is do they trade Jalen Brown? But at least
- 36:15Speaker 1: two of the rotation guys Wire can be gone? How
- 36:17Speaker 1: do we know you pass? The second? Is that? The
- 36:19Speaker 1: way foot it on the bard.
