• 1:55
  Speaker 1: as this the Wednesday show, the NFL picking up tomorrow
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. It's still a late Tuesday night in the West.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But our leads story from San Francisco follow up follow
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: up to a previous previous malle monologue. We talked about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Niners after the Monday night game. A lot of chatter,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of chatter, delayed reaction, like hey boy, that guy,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that guy brock Party blows. It's like, well he sucks, Yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he does. He sucked before the Niners paid him. Now,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the tell for me was when the number one Brock
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Party Toatsucker Terry in England, who's a big forty nine
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: er at Hank, when he did not run to defend
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: brock Party. That was a dead do what dead give what?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So Kyle Shanahan, who plausibly is the head coach of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the San Francisco football team, Kyle Shanahan attempting to shut
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: down the noise. Oh, we're gonna stop the noise. Shanahan
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: asked a couple of times about possible quarterback change in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area, saying bye bye to brock Purty, giving
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: him the clipboard, the tools of Victor Ritz, and having
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: him walk around the sidelines there in a swap for
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: mac Daddy mac Jones as the forty nine Ers QB
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: number one. Well, turns out if you didn't see this,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: maybe not. Shanahan dismissed, dismissed, repeatedly the idea that there
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: would be some kind of shake up among the quarterback
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: position there in brock Purty, even though he delivered absolute flatulence,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: complete and total flatulence in the first half of that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: game and really throughout the entire game when you consider
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the opponent. So despite that, mac Jones will not be
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: taking over people calling for him to take over there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers coach repeatedly standing by his quarterback
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: prock Purty and says he remains in command of the offense,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all right, So that is a good jumping off point.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Let discuss the question, why why is the forty nine
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Ers coach Kyle Shanahan so stubborn about brock Purty. All right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got home Depot, Wright, Brothers,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and Fork and we will combine all of these things together.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Ding ding, and there you go. Well, we're gonna make
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: some chimmy chungosy is what We're gonna make, delicious chimmy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: chogas a tradition on Thanksgiving is the chimmy chunga unless
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's not all right. So a as I've learned from
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: years behind the powerful microphones at Fox Sports Radio and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: other broadcast channels, I have learned over the years that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: everyone is a psychologist. Everyone is. Even I am a psychologist,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so I would I'm not professional. I'm an amateur psychologist.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So I have my diagnosis on what's going on here
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. Doctor Mahler is in and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: here is my diagnosis. This is called classic stubborn Coaches syndrome.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Class look it up. It's in the medical journals. I'm
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: not making it up. You think I'm making it up.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not making it up. No, I'm not. It's classic
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: stubborn coach syndrome. That is what that is. They're diagnosed it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The reason that Shanahan is so held man he said, well,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: all coaches have to stand by their quarterback. Well they do,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but not to the degree that Shanahan is. My theory
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: on this is Shanahan knows he's stepped in it. He
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: really did step in. And now what do we mean
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: by that? He rubbers stamped and endorsed Brock Purdy getting
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a contract he did not deserve. The guy's not someone
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that elevates the players around him. And we've seen this era.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: There'll be a great docu series on frivolous pork barrel
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: spending in the NFL. Suck bag quarterbacks that got paid.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the little fella I'll get arms Murray in Arizona.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrens, that guy blows in Jacksonville. Right, you go
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: down the list here, these guys have got the big
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: money and they stink. And Brock Party is on that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And Kyle Shannon, he's the guy that again endorsed Brock
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Party getting the contract. You hand out that kind of cash,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five million dollars for Rock Party
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: buys a lot of rope. You go down to Home Depot.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You get the whole aisle. The whole aisle will be
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: named after you. When you have that kind of cash,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you can it's not ropeile, it's brock perty. Rope aile
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: is what it is when you get a lot of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: rope enough rope there at Home Depot, where they'll name
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the entire f and aisle at every store in North
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: America after you. And so he's got it. Defend it,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He's got a Shannon's got an defend it Now brock
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Purty continues to ride the vomit comet the way he
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: has here. Guess whose seat? One guess? No cheating, no cheating, okay,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I know you're old Jed who fled about the cheat.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Don't cheat, don't do it. So one guess. Okay. The
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: guess is whose seat gets hotter than a habanero in Asana?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Who is it? All right? That's right, d yes, that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is Kyle Shannan's Now did you hear the excuse? I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: love the excuses, lack of accountability. The excuse is so good,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it's just just just wonderful. Uh So the excuse after
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the three atrocity interception half there in the first half
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on the Monday night game, he uh reated. I thought
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he was just kind of kid, and I thought this
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: was some ad lib comedy. Apparently not. He said, all
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: three were good decisions by brock Purdy. Just a hair late,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is what Shanahan said about those interceptions the other night.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So a hair late for brock Purdy and all good decisions,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: really good. So I went back. I looked because I thought, well,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe my memory is going. I don't see a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: lot of football games. Maybe something was wrong. And I said, well, no,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: brock Party was a full Greyhound bus late on those throws,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and Carolina's defensive backs it was a Vaudvillian comedy as
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they were actually running better routes or roots than the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Niner receivers. And either that or brock Party was just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: trying to throw to the Carolina Panthers defensive backs there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And so Shannan listened. The point is, Shannan's married to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the mistake. He's married to the mistake. You pay the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: guy who's not the guy, but you paid the guy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: He's not the guy, but you paid the guy. So
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you paid him, and congratulations, you picked the wrong guy,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and now you're tied to that player for better or worse.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, you got to ride the wave. It turns
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: out that the wave looks like it's a tsunami of turnovers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But that's you made your bed. Congratulations, it's a bed
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of nails. Hope you enjoy that. Good luck. Meanwhile, Mac
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Jones is not God's gift to the quarterback position. He
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: did keep the Niners afloat congratulations, and the Niners quarterback
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones the twelfth ranked quarterback in the NFL. And
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that's ahead of Caleb Williams, the guy that likes to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: paint his nails there in Chicago, and then also Patrick
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Mahomes who's now opening restaurants and things like that and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: doing that whole thing. So regardless, Kyle Shannon will not
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: even entertain the conversation blasphemy, absolute blaspem, because it means
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he would have to admit he misread the room. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: no one ever wants to admit they're wrong. You don't
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: want to. You want to clearly I messed that. No,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you don't want to say that mess that up. No,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he's protecting his resume, is what he's doing. Yeah, Brock
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: pretty has played often like a low battery notification like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the batteries getting low charge it. We're gonna go to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: low power mode. That's what we're doing here. And Shannan's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: gonna keep defending it until the rope runs out. And again,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: two hund and sixty five million. A lot of rope,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of rope. You can even do the rope
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: d dope is what you can do. You can do
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the rope dy dope all right now, flipping the pache,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but not going far because another story that we have
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: not really gotten into, I haven't really bitten into a nice,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: juicy story, and that involves the Niers. Everyone's got a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: hot take. I saw some fiery comments from a former
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawk and forty nine er Richard Sherman, the mouth of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the legion of voom back of the day, and now
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: someone that despised the media, now remember the media. It's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: wonderful anyway. Richard Sherman perplexed, absolutely perplexed that Brandon iuc
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver. His antics said, if you've missed it
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, the last couple days, stories come out.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The Niners gave him one hundred and twenty million dollars
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: contract and because of his malfeasans. They have already voided
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: almost twenty seven million of that in gairwal and tees.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: They've said, we're going to chop that away guaranteed money.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So you had one hundred and twenty and now you've
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: given back about twenty seven million of that one hundred
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and twenty. Reports out of the Bay indicate that Brandon
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and I, the wide receiver there, skipped not one, not two,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: not three, but many many forty nine er team meetings
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and activities. I guess you figured out I'm not playing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Why am I going to bother going to these team meetings?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Didn't show up, there were team activities, he said, I'm good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I'm good, and that's no.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Like the other night, if you're watching the Monday night
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: game the Niners in Carolina, you had Fred Warner and
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Nick Bosa eating nachos and buttered popcorn watching the game.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure both those guys were like, what do I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have to be there? I'm not playing. I am a here.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: That you were there so they could put you on
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: TV for ten seconds, that's why you were there. Said
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we're paying these guys a lot of money, but they're
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: not here anyway. So Brandon Ike didn't want to play
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the game. He didn't want to play the political game
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, and so after a big
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: contract dispute, got a lot of airplay, talked about him
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a lot last year when his contract was up, last
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: off season and back and forth. He ended up getting
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: hurt acl mcl tear in October of twenty twenty four,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and he has yet to come back and play. So
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: let's discuss this one. The question, the question for the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: esteemed panel here, why is forty nine or wide receiver
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuc not fighting? He's not trying to get to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars, he's not hired a lawyer and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all that suff No, the Niners have said, we're avoiding
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars of money that we were going
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to give you, and he's like, okay, whatever you want,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: go ahead, knock yourself out. I said, my first thought
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: on this one, this is the strangest, the strangest twenty
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: seven million dollar ghosting that I can recall off the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: top of my head. Now, I'm sure there have been
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: other situations that have been ridonculous and all that stuff,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but right now, in this moment, we worry about today's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: show and this right now, I can't think, I cannot
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: think of another situation quite like this. Normally, if you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: void this kind of deal, this amount of money, then
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: there's a war that breaks out, there's an absolute ord
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that's too dramatic. But no, you have parachuters jumping out
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of planes, lawyers for the NFL Players Association jumping out
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of lanes. You have a media onslaught where they show
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk and you know, some poor relative he's got
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: making a whole sob story about how he has to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: pay bills and how's he supposed to pay bills and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: all this stuff, that ole thing, and and then and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Brandon I said, no, no, I'm cool, I'm good, I'm good.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And that tells you everything that is the dead giveaway,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: dead give what it is that bye bye Bay, Bye
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: bye Bay area. Brandon wants out. He goes. He bought
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the most expensive think about this, the most expensive one
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: way ticket since the Right Brothers built the plane that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: became what became air travel. The Right Brothers there in
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. So the forty nine ers paid him. Brandon Ayuk,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we're talking about. They shackled him with the golden handcuffs.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, the golden handcuffs. And now well, now
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he wants the Houdini escape backed. Although Houdini didn't pay
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars to get the handcuffs off. He
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. So what he should do and see
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: if the forty nine ers are cool with this? You
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: should drive down the California coast Brandon and I have
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a big event for charity in air quotes for charity
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and go down to like Pismo Beach and get right
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: on the beach there and have a bonfire and light
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the twenty seven million dollars on fire. That would be majestic.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It would be wonderful, be awesome to have a big
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: bonfire there right on the beach and have forty nine
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: er fans come out. It can be therapeutic and it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: can be a cleansing of the soul. Cleansing of the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: soul is what it could be there. And there you go,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: because again it's this one's not business. This is personal.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: This is a personal situation. You skip team meetings, you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: rehab away from the facility, all that stuff, and you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are very quiet night, silent night. When it comes to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: avoiding money and all that. And that's the athlete body
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: language that tells you, Okay, I have already checked out,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Bye bye, I've checked out, just like that. And before
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: staying with the Niners, there was some flirtation out on
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the market. Brandon iok had a chance to go to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. He turned down I think it was thirty
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: something million dollars a year because he felt like the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Patriots did not have a solid quarterback. They had Drake
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: May who had not established himself yet, and he was
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: betting against Drake May. That tells you that he's chasing
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the perfect situation, Brandon Ayuk, and not just to pay day.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He wants like the perfect situation. And this might be
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the dumbest financial play since there was a running back
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: named Ricky Williams who signed with master P back in
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the day. You don't even know who that is, but
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it was very funny at the time, and we thought
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good. And as the lessons from Doctor
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Seuss that life is just a series of decisions that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we make on a daily basis, and Brandon IUC is
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: really not great at making decisions. It would appear, it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: would appear his decision making is not good. It is
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: going to take him years. He will likely never get
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the lost money, the twenty seven million back, and that's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the price to get out of a forty nine or uniform. Meanwhile,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: last word to Miami, Miami we Go, where Tyreek Kill's agent,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus was asked about the status of the rather interesting,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: shall we say wide receiver Tyreek Hills hurt out for
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the year after ergoing season ending knee surgeon. Leg was
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: all mutilated in that primetime game. So his future with
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins remains murky, very murky. That's what it remains.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Although the current contry technically does have Tyreek Hill part
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of the Dolphins through the twenty twenty six season. The
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Hills agent, Drew Rosenhouse won a local TV in Miami
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this week and gave a vague update. He said, quote
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: regarding Tyreek Hill's treacher that depends on the Dolphins. He said,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I haven't had any discussions so with the Miami brass
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: yet about Tyreek or his future with the team. We'll
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: have those discussions after the season. Close quote. All right, question,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: how hard a decision is this for the Miami Dolphins
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: regarding Tyreek Hill and his future how hard a decision
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: is this? All right, So this is the oldest trick
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in the book of tricks for Drew Rosenhause, it just
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: is this is the non update update, non update update.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And he says, hey, well, we're gonna talk after the season,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and that's great. Let me use my mather Rosetta stone
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to translate. That means they have not called us, they
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: have not contacted us. We know what is coming, we
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: are aware what is coming, and you know what is
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: coming close quote. Now, that's what the Rosetta Stone told me.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's what it means. Pre Chopped veggies is what this is.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's predetermined, It's predetermined. That's it. The Dolphins are swimming
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: towards a fork in the road. Why are they swimming
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: on the road. They just go with it. They're swimming
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: towards a fork in the road. And the fork is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: shaped like a wrecking ball, shaped like a big wrecking ball.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And unless someone from Disney steps in and there's a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: magical plot twist, and the Dolphins have another winnable game
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: this week, I believe they play the Saints. The Saints
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: blow So unless there's some kind of magical plot twist here,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Miami is gutting that operation. They are to a tongue
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of Ilawa. You might want to afford your mail right now,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you're gone, Mike McDaniel. Time to get a different colored
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: polo and work on your podcast game because you're gone.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: This is just bookkeeping. There's no motion. It's just bookkeeping
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: on this one. That's all it is. It's business school
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: wearing shoulder pads and that's it. Miami would say thirty
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: three million. Now I'm a salary cap truther. I think
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the kap is crap, capus crap, capus crap. That said,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: when you want to get rid of someone suddenly, it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: very important. And a lot of dumb people call radio
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: shows and post things online. So all, what's so good?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: We saved so much money? Book crap. Anyway, listen, the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: reason you want to get rid of the player is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it's not even based on the money. It's not. It's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the fact that Tyreek Hill, his entire body of work
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is turbo speed. He's nicknamed the Cheetah. He's thirty one
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: coming off a mutilated leg injury. So if you don't
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: have the speed, what do you got? You end up
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: on the clearance rack. And that's it, And that's the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL's version of a It's like a sports car
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that needs a new transmission. Well, you're not gonna pay
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: full price if you take the car and you say,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: well it needs this and that, And the thing of
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a jig's not working. The watching McCall it's kind of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: messed up there. What are we gonna do with that?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe somebody knows how to fix the watching mccull it,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But the thing of a jig. I don't know if
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: anyone gonna fix the thing of a jig. The watching
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: mc call it probably, but the thing of a jig
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: not so much. And then that's it. So it's not
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: really that hard decision. And then we'll do the where's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Tyreek kill game? Where's he gonna end up? And all
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and uh so the Dolphins really have already
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: made the decision, like what's going to change between now
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and then? They just haven't given the breaking news graphic
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to because they are mister editor. So as mister editor,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: they have not given that to schefter to put on
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: social media and all that. It's the math. It's the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: drama mixed together there, and the math and drama together
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that is a home Run.

• 22:43
  Speaker 1: So in our lead this hour from the ongoing Days
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of Our Lives drama in the Delaware Valley, we go
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to phil Delphia where the Eagles trying to get off
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the schneide. They were twenty one point lead on the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: road at Dallas. Bad job, bad job by them. Now
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: this cloud was an ominous cloud with wide receiver A. J.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Brown throwing jabs at the quarterback. Frustrated with the Eagles offense.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: There you had former Philadelphia Eagle Donovan McNabb, who has
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: entered the chat McNabb urging the Eagles to say bye
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: bye to AJ Brown. You see this, Yeah, I know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I know. Well he's like the trade him or whatever.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: The trade deadline has already passed, so that's not gonna happen.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see it, Donovan McNabb popped up on
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Philly's sports radio, So put anyone on Philly Sports Radio,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So they put McNab up there. He called in earlier
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this week, and he used as an example a point
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of reference. He used his former coach and now the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: coach of the chiefs Andy Reid, as an example. Is
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: that Andy, and trying to explain why a toxic culture
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: can hurt the entire team, McNabb said, quote, among other things,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: he said, it's when you start bringing pieces in that
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the toxic talk starts to create a bad aura around
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the team when discussing AJ Brown. So that is a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, what
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: is your verdict on Donovan McNabb urging the Eagles to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: unload AJ Brown because of the toxic culture brewing in Philadelphia.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It must be in the water supply. So my observations
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: on this, I've got South Park X men and A
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Windy's Frosty, and we will combine all of these things
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make the Gabba Ghoul
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: with a side of Baba Ganoosh is what we're going
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, all right, so number one, number one, Yes,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: So we agree that the relationship between A. J. Brown
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles is crack a lacing like the old
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: pavement there. If you've been to Philadelphia on the Vine
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Street Expressway right there in downtown Philadelphia, it's it's not
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: looking good. It's not looking good. And we love it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: From a talk radio standpoint, we're not Eagle fans, so
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: we think it's just freaking great that AJ and the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Birds are heading towards Splitsville. And how Howie Freeman, Howie Freeman,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, the GM of the Eagles there who's loves
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the camera and broadcasters love him. This was a misstep
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: by the Eagles front office. They had offers, standing offers
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to trade AJ Brown, and they're hubris. They're like, oh no,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we don't need to do we can we can navigate this. Well, okay,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: we'll see if you're correct or not. It doesn't look
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: like you're navigating it very well at this particular point.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: You know, like I'm gonna keep this guy and so
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: oh they are heading towards Splitsville in Philadelphia, but the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: trade deadline has passed. Now that said, you are not
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the guy, Donovan nab. You're not the guy to give
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the state of the Bird's address when it comes to
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the relationship between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Here's why,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: because you are the former quarterback who needed a birf
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: bag in the Super Bowl, a literal burf bag vomit
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere in Jacksonville against the Patriots. We
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: don't forget, we don't forget keeping it real. It's not
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: really analysis by Donovan McNabb, the former Eagles quarterback NNA.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: This is unresolved trauma, is what this is. It is
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: t o Terrell Owens broke Donovan McNabb's spirit so much.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: He did it before social media, like social media was
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: not really a thing the way that it's become now.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: It's the matrix, it's the full matrix. It was people
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: dabbling in that world, but it was nothing like it
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: is today. Right when that was going on. They were
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: able to go mono amano toe to toe, eye to eye,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: belly to belly without social media. McNab on one side
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and Owen's on the other. And so it wasn't documented
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: in memes and gifts and all that stuff. It wasn't
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: There weren't bot farms in Maldova that were keeping track
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: of everything and weaponizing all that. So t O for
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: McNab was the horror movie villain for mister McNabb there,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and he can hear the theme music in the back
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of his head. It's just it's subtle, but it's there.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like in the background. And so now
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he sees aj Brown McNab he's not played in years.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: He sees aj Brown and that triggers a flashback. Uh oh,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So it's not really commentary so much from McNab as
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: it's a therapy session disguised as a call into a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: sports radio show from from Donovan. Here he's going Cartman
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: from south Park and he's going Cartman from south Park.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, why don't you show me,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Donovan on the doll where t O hurt your confidence?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Can you show me where? Okay, right right there, Okay,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: where else? Okay there to Okay, we'll see that. Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Uh so a J.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: A J.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Brown has been chirping, because that's what birds do. They chirp.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Trip trip trip trip trip trip trip trip. And uh
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: he's also been chipping the paint off the the Eagles.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: They just won the Super Bowl a year ago with
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown, but he has been in Jalen Hurts business
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: in his face literally and figuratively. Toxic guy, right, toxic guy.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And from that standpoint, and normally, if your production is good,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you stick around. If your production is bad, you go away.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: This is a career low in many areas for AJ
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Brown this season. So the production is going down. And
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: McNabb referenced Tyreek Hill and he used Tyreek as an
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: example to make his case. He didn't bring up t
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Oh mind you. He brought up Tyreek Hill and Andy
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Reid getting rid of Tyreek in Kansas City and the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Chiefs continuing to win Super Bowls after Tyreek went off
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to Miami. So he was a fifty to fifty ball
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: kind of guy, right, fifty to fifty maintenance, fifty to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: fifty ball, and AJ brown stats are starting to go
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: down as mentioned just a little subtle thing at this point.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: So there's that, and Brown is problematic. McNabb though, is
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: really projecting here. And it's my analysis on this that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb is projecting and Philadelphia's culture, the crack of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: lacking and all that stuff. It's like the it's like
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: if you go to any gas station, they they all
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: like if you're in Philadelphia, they have like the little
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia souvenirs. Very proud of the fact that the history
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of Philadelphia in America, so they have like little souvenirs.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: At the gas station. You can get a little replica
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Liberty bell that has like the fake crack in it
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. That's kind of what that is.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: The Liberty bell, like the cheap ripoff toy that you
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: get at some gas station in Philadelphia. That's where that
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: is not. Paige sue. We now go to former NFL
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: coaches for a thousand. Please, can I get former Bucks
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: coach and Cardinals coach Bruce Arians online? Yes? All right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Arians unloaded unloaded on the Minnesota Vikings quarterback
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy arians ripping McCarthy demanding the former NFL coach
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: demanding that the Vikings quarterback ditch is very dramatic alter ego,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and we talked about in a previous episode of the show. Quote,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: we don't need all this ball one two, one thousand ship.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: We don't need it. We don't need the ball bucking
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the bull by night. We don't need it, don't want it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Talking about the alter ego thing, Bruce Arians said, it
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: needs to be a p he washed up. Former coach
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: stated accurate passer was the way he described it. Bruce
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Arians saying that, and they paid appearance on YouTuber Pat
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: McAfee show. He said, you don't need snot bubbles and tears.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: The former NFL coach stated, you play quarterback, not linebacker.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: He said, Okay, we don't need all this bull shoy,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the bullshoy ballet. Don't need it. I don't need it,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: he said, So there you go. He said, you're just
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: an effing quarterback. Play quarterback. That's all you're supposed to do.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: You're not a linebacker. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Is Bruce arians criticism
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: is Bruce arians criticism of Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: his alter ego Go nine, that's his alter ego nine,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: his imaginary friend nine. Is that fair or foul? Fair
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: or foul? That's the question. So Bruce Arians, now, we
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: went back and we watched the replay. We did an
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: expedited review, and Bruce Arians did not tiptoe into the take.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: He didn't tiptoe into the take. He kicked the door
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: off the hinges is what he did. And he's right
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: based on a expedited review. Fair ball, fair ball, that's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: what we call. Right there, you go. Nobody cares about
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: your inner spirit, animal, your imaginary pal. Nobody cares about that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: It's not stage play. We're not on Broadway or off Broadway.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: We're not doing that McCarthy's whole nine routine, which is
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: his jersey number. It's kind of like him doing that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and playing the way he's playing is akin to sacking
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the quarterback while your team is down fifty five to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: nothing and then doing the river dance after you've sacked. Well,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you could do the river dance after you sacked the
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: quarterback down fifty five. It doesn't generally look that good,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not a great look. And this does
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: not fire the guys up the whole alternative persona doesn't
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: fire anybody up. In fact, it makes a lot of
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: people roll their eyes like like, what a douche, what
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: an absolute JABBRONI this guy is. You talk about Schmendrick
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and look it up. This is a Mama Luke if
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: there ever was a Mama Luke. And Justin Jefferson does
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: not need drama. He needs the ball to be placed
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in a position where he can catch it. He needs
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: he needs completions, he needs yards and touchdowns and all
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: those things. He's not getting that, Justin Jefferson, he's not.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And so let me tell you a little bit from
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what I've learned over my years here behind these microphones
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on how they make the sausage stuffed pigskin. How do
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: they do it? How do they make the pigskin sausage?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So the alter ego stuff, while it's lame to the membrane,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: lame to the membrane. It the way it works is,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it's fine if you're good and people are India, it
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: works if you win. You know, Aaron Rodgers is mysterious
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: and he's a deep thinker, and then when he doesn't win,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: he's a whack a doodle. He's a jackwagon and a
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: cuckoo for cocoa Puff's guy is what he is. And
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: if you and so that's the word, it's the same name.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I say.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: If you lose your JaMarcus Russell, your Ryan Leaf doing
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: cosplay as those guys, that's just the way it is.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: And so you become Bozo the clown. Congratulations, you are
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Boso the Clown. And right now, JJ McCarthy, I'm going
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: up the ladder here looking down at the room. JJ McCarthy,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the Viking quarterback is a founding member of x Men.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? You didn't know that? Okay, well,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: have you learned something new when you listen to late
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: night radio. He's not nine. He's a founding member of
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: x Men. Actually, Iceman, that's it. He's Iceman, and he's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a mutant. Doesn't play like a mutant. He's a mutant
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that was born with superhuman skills. Congratulations. McCarthy has the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: ability to manipulate the ice and cold by freezing water.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: He takes water vapor and freezes it and then in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the process has absolutely destroyed any kind of good mojo.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings happen to have their drives with wobbly
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: throws and just so bad. The Vikings often don't even
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: bother throwing because they know it'll be an incompletion, So
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: why would they do that. You know that that whole thing,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: we don't want any part of that went another new
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: with that, So so there you go and just horrible.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: And Bruce Arian's giving him the playbook. He's like, well,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: ditch the whole theater thing. Push that, pushed that off
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to the side, get rid of the whole theater thing
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: like that, we don't need that, and that's it, and
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: just throw completions and it's wild. He didn't look at
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Michigan when I watched McCarthy, but I hadn't said, well,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: this guy's an NFL quarterback. I didn't look like it
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: at all. The marketing campaign that has taken place over
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen years or so with these guys before
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the draft, and it goes back to a previous point
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: we talked about in a previous hour, how dumb many
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: people are working sports and they buy the marketing like
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: there's my theory is they're so lazy that they just
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like they don't do their homework and they just kind
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of look at the oh, this agent's really selling this guy.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: He's got the whole work, the whole package. Like Kyler
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Murray had no business being the number one pick. He
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick in the draft because
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they sold Kyler Murray he can't play. The guy's a
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: good gamer, he's not a good quarterback. But they were
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: able to sell the Cardinals because there are a bunch
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: of idiots there the draft again. And now JJ McCarthy
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: was not the top pick of the draft, but the
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: same concept applies where he had no business being a
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: first round pick. You look at his resume, he said, well,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: they hardly threw at Michigan. You know, this is a
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: guy that should have been drafted in the fifth or
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the sixth round. And even there, you're like, well, probably
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: not that great. All right, final point, we shift over
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: to pro bouncy ball. Why well, Lebron James. There was
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a report making the rounds here that Lebron James is
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: insisting through his posse that he doesn't no, does not
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: know if he will retire from the Lakers after this
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: current NBA season, a story that was conveniently leaked by
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Camp Lebron, letting the world know that this could that's
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a weasel word. Could be Lebron's last season. However, he's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: undecided who me, yes, you undecided there, and he might
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: feel even more responsibility to play in every game because
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: he's God's gift to basketball every game. And if it
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: was like a retirement tour situation, So let us talk
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: about this one the question, what are the chances, what
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: are the chances that Lebron James skips out on a
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: retirement tour, that he just quietly retires at the end
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: of this season and says, I'm gone, I'm going fishing.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I know this a really good lake back back in
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Ohio I love and I'm just gonna go to that
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: lake and that's just gonna be it. And that's all. Yeah.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: So the malaradds the Ben Malor Show malarods from the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Malor Sports Book. These are non official odds. These are
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show odds Lebron James skipping a retirement to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: quietly go away. Now, I'm gonna be fair. The odds
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: are gonna shock you. You don't know where they are. Even
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Antony and Anaheim doesn't know what they are. The odds
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: are zero point zero point zero zero zero zero zero percent.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I'm talking buzz light Year to Infinity and beyond squad. Yeah,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Lebron James is not Tim Duncan. Tim
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Duncan snuck out the fire escape at the Spurs facility
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: wearing dad jeans and holding a Windy's Frosty Lebron. Ain't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: that that's not Lebron. No, no, no, no. This is
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the quintessential prima Donna Lebron James. He's addicted to the spotlight.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: He's made tons and tons of money doing it. He
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: hears a basketball bounce, bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy, and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the camera lens open up. It's who he is. He
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: is not built. Lebron is not built for an Irish goodbye.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not Irish, but I love the Irish goodbye. You
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: just leave and don't tell anyone. No, Lebron's got the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Hollywood goodbye. He's all about the Hollywood long, cinematic, dramatic,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: tears soaked monologue filled farewell from Lebron. He's got to
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: have a lighting crew to the left. He's got a
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: big production budget, the whole thing, and he'll do the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Hollywood goodbye mix with the Minnesota goodbye? Do you know
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: what the Minnesota good You know, our friends in Minnesota
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: are shaking their head, They're nodding their head. Yes, I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: know what a Minnesota goodbye. Yes, a Minnesota goodbye is.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: You have to go around the room multiple times, circle
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the room multiple times. Well, I really should get going,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I really should get going. Then you talk for thirty
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: more minutes. I really need to go. I got something
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: to do, I got that, got to make a stew
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: But no, you stay. That's it. The man once held
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: at a boys and girls club in Connecticut with Jim Gray,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the great hang around Jim Gray put together a show
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: called The Decision for the Children. You realize you can
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: do anything you want in the world as long as
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: you say it's for the children. No one questions them. Yeah,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: and so that's not the guy that's going to retire quietly.

• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Eagles all pro tackled Jordan Malita, my lot whatever. Push
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: back against the notion that Saquon Barkley is quote in
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: a funk and stress that the team struggles on offenses,
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: not on Saquon Man, How much blame do you think
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: can be put on the lack of production from saque.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: He had a career year extreme outcomes are followed by
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: more modern I was even say Quan's admitting he's not
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: playing that well, so I stopped covering for him. The
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: guy's not having a good year. It happens.

  Speaker 4: Next, Art Briles landed his first college head coaching job

  Speaker 4: since he was fired from Baylor a decade ago. Was
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: announced Monday that he will be leading Division two Eastern
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: New Mexico. Ben, do you think he could work his
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: way back into a job at a mate program.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: The problem is his age. He would have to go
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the deep like South They where they would
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: overlook pretty much anything if you can win football games.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: So outside of that, good luck. I think he's too old.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Next, it was a part of this week that part
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: of the reason Steph Curry decided to leave the Under
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: Armour brand is due to their failed attempt at signing
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: You're buying that that sounds like an excuse to me. Coop.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: If under if he was selling from when I've heard,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he's not, you know, people love him at all. He's
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: not selling enough merch and so the offer was lower
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: than he wanted. If he was selling merchandise, they were
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: worked out a deal. So I don't I think that's
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that's an excuse. It's embarrassing for him. How do we
