  Speaker 1: Oh what fun it is. We were trying to I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was talking to some of the other day, was trying
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to figure out, O, what's gonna be the big story
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of the NFL offseason. What's gonna be the one that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: kind of gets us through after the draft until training

  Speaker 1: our lead this hour, and is it true that we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have our first big, first, big possible NFL scandal to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: carry us through the off seat. He's in the silly season.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And now if you didn't hear about this, perhaps not.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It is a developing story. Some random woman in southern
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: California claims that La ra Am wide receiver Puka Nakua
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: both made an anti Semitic comment and later took a
• 1:21

  Speaker 1: And broke the skin the alleged victim keyword. They're alleged
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in a application for a temporary restraining order straining order
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: laid out which he clames TMC's got all the details
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: there that this happened on New Year's Eve? How is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: your New Year's Eve? I stayed home. I didn't go out, okay, Pooka,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I just went out and there was a group outing.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: They were over in Century City here in La La Land.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The woman says, the night got off off the way
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: rocky start and the way TMZ reported it that they
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: were having a nice group dinner and then all of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a sudden, in the middle of the group dinner, Pooka
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: allegedly yelled out f all the jos. But that doesn't
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: seem very nice during the dinner, what would lead to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that comment? Now, the group apparently a group of they
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just they went out after that and continued things escalated.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: According to the claim, Pooka was rude or vulgar and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: threatening and violent and harassing and all that, and after
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they had the meal, The woman who's making these clips
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: says that she and her friend, along with Pooka and others,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: got into a sprinter van. Was that the one Dan
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Patrick was giving away a couple of years ago? Probably
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not anyway, Apparently Pooka New Year's Eve? What little touchy pheely,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: little touchy peely. She's claiming that Pooka, out of nowhere
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: just rmly bit her friend's thumb. That the friends screamed,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: screamed right there in the back of the sprinter van,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hold the pain. And then Pooka turned to her and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: bit her left shoulder and broke the skin like a vampire.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And there's photographic evidence. TMZ. How much have they paid
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for this? How much is that story worth to TMZ?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Is that twenty thousand, forty fifty thousand? How much do
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you pay for that? I don't know they paid for it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming they didn't get that one for free. Now,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the alleged victim in this says that she went to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the police a day later filed an incident report. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: what about Pooka Nakoa? His attorney says, the whole claim
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is do you think he said completely true? Absolutely? Puoka
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: moonlights as a vampire. If other teams want to stop him,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just wrap yourself in garlic or turn the sun on
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and yeah, uh anyway.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: The lawyer for Pokinica claims that this is just a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: classic shakedown attempt and says it was. He claims that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: there was a bite mark, but it was horseplay, all right,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and the woman was asking for millions. Hey if I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: if she gets million, I'll let pooka bite me. If
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I get I can take a million, I'll take a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: million right now. Bite me on the shoulder. I don't care.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'll take a million bucks after taxes.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that's a good jumping off board. So we have
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what everyone loves. A he said, she said, situation, You
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: make the call. Okay, So let's discuss the question you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got rams Wide receiver pokin accused of making a random,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: unsolicited anti Semitic comment biting a what. I don't know
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: how I call this woman other than a groupie? Uh
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in a sprinter van? Are we here's question? Are we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: really supposed to believe this happened exactly the way it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: being described, exactly the way it's being described to TMZ.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So I've got my thoughts on this, I got vending machine, AMC.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Bucket and mister Miagi, and we will combine all of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we are gonna go upside down.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go upside down, is what we're gonna do.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So a at first glance, this is a version of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the truth, just not the whole truth, and nothing but
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the truth. As we know in these cases, there are
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: three sides to every story. There's her side, there's Puka's side,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and then there's the truth, which is likely a combo
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of both sides of the story. That's Pukah's gonna say
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: some things that are true, and she's gonna say some
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: things that are true. Almost never, almost never is a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: one side completely completely accurate. And you see the headline though,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: rams Superstar and anti Semitism and all that. And you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: see that in the headlines and you're like, oh my god,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this is a monster, a monster living amongst us. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: there is that, and you got the holy Trinity of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: debauchery in this story. You've got Pookah going around like
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a vampire, gnawing and biting and breaking and hacking and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: using bad language and all that stuff. Then you dig deeper,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you dig a little deeper and you get the cliff
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: notes on the professional victim playbook. If you've ever seen
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the Professional Victim playbook, this has a lot of those
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: pillars in that she was offended by Pooka Nicoua's rude
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: behavior at dinner, yet still felt worthy of hopping in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a sprinter van with someone who I assume was a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: stranger relative stranger to her, but she decided that she
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: wanted to hang out with him anyway. That seems odd,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: but I don't know why you do that, but she
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: did it. Could it be that the accuser in this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: case was looking for a nice vending machine. Maybe there
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was a vending machine in that sprinter sprinter van and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: she wanted to get a delicious candy bar. She did
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not want the Three Musketeers or the Snickers bar. She
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wanted the Payday bar with the extra peanuts and the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: carbel wanted some of that. Now. TMZ says the parties
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: had a mediation. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: ding ding ding d Yeah, that's a that's a that's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a dead nuit. So they had a mediation and shockingly,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it failed. It failed. The crisis PR team was unable
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to reach a deal they couldn't get a deal. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: what did she do? She went with the nuclear option,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop a bomb on you, and she did.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: She built the the I say hurts her lawyer built
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this for maximum shock value and the neutron bomb for
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Puka Nakula because he would not send over a bag
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of deep golden hush puppies, deep golden hush puppies if
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he had paid her. I think I'm right now, So
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: if he had paid her at the mediation, we would
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: have never known about this. We we have never known
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: about this, and it doesn't end up in the algorithm
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: because he didn't pay her what she wanted. This is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the result of that? Is that? And do I have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it right? Am I wrong? Maybe I'm wrong on that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That's the way I read the story. The way I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: read the story was ahead of mediation, which means she
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was looking for a deal. She didn't get the deal,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and so now it's like, okay, all right, you're dead.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ruin you, and now here's what I'm doing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So if I'm right, that makes this seem like a shakedown,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like a class Hollywood shakedown, NFL style. All right, Now,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: keeping the pooka conversation going here on the Ben Maler
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Show on Fox. Another question I had with the Rams
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: wide receiver here, Poka Nakua. This scandal now front and center.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Is this something that the league is going to address
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that they need to address or is it something that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: going to disappear by the weekend. Does this thing have
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: legs or does this thing not have legs? So I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: will tell you the NFL is not gonna do anything
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: right away, though they'll issue some statement we are aware
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of the allegations or something along those lines. However, they're
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: gonna wait. This has been their mo for the last
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: couple of years. They wait and see how the dough rises.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Sometimes the dough doesn't rise properly and you don't get anything,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and so it becomes a numbers game. Like you really
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: have to reserve judgment on this and see because if
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this is just one popcorn kernel, and that's all it
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: is right now, it's one kernel of popcorn. If it's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a pattern patternicity, if we're talking about a full large
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: bucket of AMC popcorn, an AMC bucket of popcorn, then
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: boom goes to dynamite. The league will immediately all of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a sudden care. They'll pretend to care anyway. They don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: investigate the truth. They investigate the headlines is what they
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: investigate here. So so now it's that right now we're
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: at the stage wherell well, we are aware of the story,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we are gathering information. That's the stage we're at right now. Translation,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: stall stall, stall, stallstall, deflect and just wait and then
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: survive and then that's it. If it's just one accusation,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: then it's just the shrug emoji, that's all. It is,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: just a nice little shrug emoji. If it's one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: nine ten, who do you appreciate? Yeah, then it becomes
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson two point zero. Then it's def Con one.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And so that's the the big issue has is this
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: just a one off? Or is this going to be
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a tip of the spear? And Pooka has a reputation,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he's certainly gone for it. Party boy USA, Poka nkoa meatthead,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: party boy, classic jock, just out there chasing skirts around
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and you know he likely had a harem of groupies
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in recent months based on the photos that are out there.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So there, if he was acting like a vampire going
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: around just biting random women. Chances are there's other women. Now,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: whether it's true or not, who knows, because uh, once
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you see an opportunity to make some money, he's like, okay, boom,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we're off to the races. And if he has been
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: enjoying these sex drugs and Rock and Roll off season,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that lifestyle leads to some issues there. So, like we said,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: right now, we're at the he said, she said situation.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: And does this remain just a single allegation or do
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: women start forming a conga line? Do the conga right
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: there around the building saying Pooka spat on me, not
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: sat on me, He spat on me and he bit
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: me and this that and the other thing. And so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: we have seen this type of movie before. I remember
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that Shaun Watson story. That night we were on the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: air and the Watson story came out and he immediately
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: denied it. And then there were like three other women
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: through that same sleazy lawyer in Houston that you know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they got paid off too, but they they came out
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and said, well he did it to me, and then
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you know, he just kept snowballing. So we're not at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that part. I haven't seen any of their accusations at
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: this moment. Now, last word to the country Cousins department
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: fired fired by the Falcons. Kirk Cousins can be yours
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: if the price is cheap, because he's not gonna get
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of money anymore. The question that the two
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: teams that are supposedly considering Kirk Cousins, all right, what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: do you make of the Raiders and the Cardinals who
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: are supposedly window shopping and they're they're looking at the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins mannequin and they're like, do we want the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins mannequin? I don't know, so Cousins. The advice
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: if those are the two teams we know Cousins is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: going off the grid right now. It's off the grid
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: traveling on the Siberian Express. Now many say, if it's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: between the Cardinals and the Raiders, you pick Vegas. What
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: say you? You've got option A the Raiders and option
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: B the Cardinals. So on my scorecard, I went with
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: option C. None of you above like, why would he
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: sign up to be a babysitter in Vegas? He didn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: want to do that. That's kind of the point. He
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be a backup, so he could conceivably
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: start in Vegas for a little bit, or go to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Arizona and start that. You know, it's just they're terrible,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: both so bad. Oh my god, they don't know what
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: they're doing. The savvy plan here is option see and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: take the wisdom of the star and one of the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: stars of Karate Kid, mister Miagi, his approach, which was patience,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: young grasshopper. Now he's not that young. Just patience. You
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: just wait for rice crispies to happen, and there will
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: be someone dining on rice crispies, and you just wait
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and when snap crapple, crapple, snap crapple and pop go.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'll just say it like that, snap, crackle and pop,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you start hitting opportunity, right because and never one every
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: year there's like one or two guys that get hurt,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: their star quarterbacks. He usually happens. One gets early in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the year, whether it's training camp for the first like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: three weeks of the regular season, and if Cousins is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: out there, who you're gonna call, Let's start kissing Cousins
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So you're you're banking on a disaster. Now,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it is the NFL. It is a car crash league,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It So someone like Josh Allen
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: or Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Rock Purty, someone like that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: goes down, down, down, down, down, down down. Then Kirk
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Cousins is the name at the very top of the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: emergency list, emergency contact list. So it's not a total
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: joke just to sit out. You don't sign now to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: play for a bottom feeder when you have the option
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of just kind of being patient and waiting and seeing
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: what happens there and then when desperation sets in, you'll
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: find an opportunity. This is the league that contacted a grandfather,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers from the backwoods of Alabama, to come back
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and play. So if they're calling him Cousins, just stay
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in shape, wait for it. Someone who's actually good or
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: considered good, we'll call you.

  Speaker 1: A slight favorite on the money line in that game, However,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: our lead is not from the Yankees and the Giants.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's from Chicago, the Cubbies squeezing together a big money,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: big money, big money hope, no wammy hope, no wamy hope,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: stop a contract before the curtain goes up on the season.
• 17:50

• 17:53

• 18:06
  Speaker 1: for six years and one hundred and fifteen million dollars.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: The deal does not begin until twenty twenty seven, so
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to slum it for the next year.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: And everyone's all excited. They're the baseball writers were orgasmic
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: because they said, oh my god, it doesn't have a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: club option that allows crow Armstrong to hit the market
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: as a free agent before his age thirty one season.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Holy bonkers, Batman and Tree and Ya Feemei and Faz
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. Yeah, so Pca, who is twenty four today?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: We don't do shout outs, so I cannot wish a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: happy birthday. Seems like a pretty good birthday present. Though
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to get one hundred and fifteen million dollar guaranteed contract.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So there you go, and that is a good jumping
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question. This is being
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: celebrated as a win for the Cubbies. So you make
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the call, is this a win for Pete crow Armstrong,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for the Cubs, for both or none of the above.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: So on this one, my observations, I have parmersan garlic,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: chicken wings, iPad, and crime lab and we will combine
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: give you the ABC's and possibly if we have time,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the one two threes. Well, definitely the ABC's number. Wa
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the number. So ignore what the Wrigleyville marketing department is
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: selling on this one. Here's the real talk, not the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: guy that used to call show, the real talk. On
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: this Pete crow Armstrong contract with the Cubs. This is
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: venture capital, is what this is. The Cubs just think
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: about like this. They bought a startup after one decent
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: earnings call, just one decent earnings call, and you're in.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong is like the app that's got a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: really nice interface and you think, boy, this is gonna
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: be really good. It's got speed, and he's a good
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: defensive player, high energy guys. He's got that razmatazz. The
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: fans seem to like him a lot. However, we do
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: not know. We do not know if there's actually any
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: real revenue behind it, Like are these legitimate calories or
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: these empty calories? Who is the real crow Armstrong? And
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: will that PCA please stand up? Now, this is the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: part that you're not supposed to talk about. You're supposed
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the big contract. However, is it true that
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Pete Crow Armstrong is a one hit wonder? Is it
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: also true that he was a half a he's in player,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that he had twenty five home runs and had seventy
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: one runs batted in mammoth numbers Sammy Sosa like numbers
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in the first half of the baseball season and then
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: vanish into Lake Michigan in the second half just to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: two to sixteen batting average, just six home runs and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: twenty five runs batted in in the second half. To
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: go from twenty five home runs to six and from
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: seventy one RBIs to twenty five, Who goofed? I've got
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to know. So we're talking about an HSH player. Now,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: what is an HSH player, I'll tell you a half
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a season hero half season hero hsh and that you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: know what that is? That is the parmesan garlic chicken wings,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the meatballs on toothpicks, but not Stevie meat balls, the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: finger foods that are not a full meal. So the league,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I surmise, figure out whatever PCA was doing the first
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: few months of the baseball season. And he never adjusted.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: He never adjusted the rest of the season. And also
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the snuff aaluffigus in the room. Now, what is the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: snuff of loove igus in the room? Well, the stuffle
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: loove agus in the room? Is that Pete crow Armstrong
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: took the cash out. He took the cash out, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that tells you something. That is that's a tell Now
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what does it tell you? It tells you In the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: sporting business, the industrial complex of pro sports, betting on
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: yourself is the ultimate confidence play. And he didn't do that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: He didn't bet himself. He chose the buy now price
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and he decided I'm not gonna take the risk. And
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I understand why you would do that, and I would
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: likely do that the same way. However, in that world,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you're ashamed you didn't max out. You didn't go for
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the gusto. You didn't You didn't show confidence, You showed risk.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Aversion is what you showed. So is that because you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: don't think you're that good and you realize that you
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: couldn't hit after the All Star break and you got
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to get the money before the Cubs figure out you
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: can't hit. So, in terms of the actual nitty gritty,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: here on who won the Pete crow Armstrong contract extension
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: using the Mallord scales of justice. And let me tell
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you something, Mallard scales and justice are never wrong. They
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: are leaning towards crow Armstrong for a short term win.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So Pete crow Armstrong, short term win, guaranteed wealth, garanteed wealth.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Now the Cubs you got the long term gambled. There's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a long term gamble because if he's just a guy,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: if he's just a guy. They paid an exorbitant amount
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of money for a unicorn, and they've got a Clydesdale,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and they don't want a Clydesdale. They want they would
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: like to get a nice unicorn with the horn in
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. All right, now, staying in Chicago, page
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: two here, this is a wild one. We head to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the south Side, the baddest part of town in Chicago,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and that is where we read the Hall of Famer,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the big hurt Frank Thomas. He's apparently not a fan
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of the White Sox. Now, how do we know Frank
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Thomas is not a fan of the White Sox. He's
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: suing the White Sox. Ding ding ding ding ding? Hello, Uh, yes,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: did you see this? No?
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: So.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Frank Thomas, hall of Famer, filed the lawsuit against the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox, a team he played for sixteen of
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: his nineteen seasons of the major leagues. The allegation is
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: that the Chicago White Sox did not have authorization to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: use his likeness on uniforms. Now. The lawsuit, which also
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: named Nike and Fanatics Nike and Fanatics as co defendants,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: seeking payment in excess of fish fifty thousand dollars and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: demanding a jury trial. Demanding a jury trial, Thomas his
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: complaint is because of the City Connect money grab that
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Fanatics and Nike in Major League Baseball have beIN cahots on.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Let's come up with extra jerseys and we'll get that
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: dumb money. So the City Connect jerseys with Thomas, the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: White Sox from the lawsuit. They were selling number thirty
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: five jerseys with Thomas on the back, and Thomas's name
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: obviously is Thomas. His number was number thirty five, alongside
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the White Sox trademarked logos and the Nike branding and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: all that. So the question I'm going to put on
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: my lawyer hat. I'm not a lawyer, but I can
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: play one on the radio. So does Frank Thomas have
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a winnable case? Does he have a WinBook case against
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the White Sox fanatics and Nike over violations Coiler lawsuit
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of the Illinois Right to public Publicity Act? So again,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: does Thomas Frank Thomas? Does Frank Thomas have a winnable
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: case against the Chicago White Sox fanatics and Nike over
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: violations of the Illinois Right to Publicity Act? So, after
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: about twenty two seconds I time this, about twenty two
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: seconds of checking this out, I am nodding my head. Yes,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. And Frank Thomas is right
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and he still might lose. Huh, what are you talking about? Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: he's right. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. So, Illinois
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: this Right to Publicity Act, which is what Thomas is
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: using in the lawsuit, his lawyers are yes. It says
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: clearly that you can't use someone's identity for commercial purposes
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: without proper permission. Just kind of the Major League Baseball broadcast.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: They have that disclaimer without the express written concertive Major
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. Well, the Chicago White Sox needed the express
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: written consent of Frank Thomas. And so you look at
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: this you've got without that. You used his name, his number,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: put those things together. That's not very subtle. It's not
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: very subtle. It's in your face. So yes, on an iPad.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: If you look at the iPad ding ding ding ding
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: ding textbook violation. So you're nodding your head. I'm nodding
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: my head. We're both nodding our everyone's nodding, nodding like
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: a bibblehead. We're nodding. And now reality walks in and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: gives you the bird. The bird is the word. It
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: gives you the bird. Now the bird is that? Do
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you think that fanatics Major League Baseball, which means the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: White Sox and Nike, that their lawyers are gonna say, hey, yeah, well,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: we're absolutely right, we're gonna give you whatever you want.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Or are they gonna say, this isn't Frank Thomas the man,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: it's a historical team uniform which is property of the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox. Translation, the lawyers will say, we're not
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: actually selling Frank Thomas, We're selling nostalgia and stitching. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: of course he'll be up to Major League Baseball to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: get the dumbest people they can possibly find in the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Chicago land area who are cub fans and get them
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: on the jury and that would be perfect right. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: courts sometimes will buy the fact that you say, wow,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: we're selling We're not selling him, We're selling nostalgia. There
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: was a case I remember back in the nineties, a
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of the old Mets players from the nineteen sixty
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: nine Mets sued the Mets and they won like six
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: figures in court in the nineties, won a bunch of money.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So sometimes you'll win it. It's really you know, it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: up to the jury and all that stuff, and it
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: comes down to licensing spaghetti, old agreements, major League Baseball entanglements.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that Frank Thomas signed some kind of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: deal back in nineteen ninety three or four while he
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: was eating clubhouse spaghettios and he doesn't remember about it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: So Discovery at that point will turn to archaeology, and so, yes,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: it is winnable. Absolutely, it's a winnable case. It seems
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: pretty open and shut and all that. Is it going
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to be easy. No, as we laid out, you're going
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: up against a triple headed hydra of billionaire sports litigation.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: By the time this ends up getting out of Discovery,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Nike is going to own Frank Thomas's house. Fanatics will
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: own the firstborn grandsons naming rights, and you'll be having
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to be wearing a jumpsuit that says property of Major
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. By the way, the deal with the Players
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Association once you retire from baseball, like if you're in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the Union, Baseball teams can do whatever they want. There's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a partnership agreement with your likeness and image, and once
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you're retired, though, they have to get you to sign
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: off on that, or technically you could file a lawsuit
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and I think this will go to a settlement. Just
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: save time, save money, that kind of thing. And it's
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: usually how these things work out in the legal system,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: even when you're right, even when it looks like you've
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: got everything lined up in a row. You're still negotiating
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: your own surrender. All right, final point. We had a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: coaching change in college basketball quick way, North Carolina. Bye bye,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Hubert Davis. He's out. He got whacked after that choke
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: job by the Tar Hills gagging away a nineteen point lead. Embarrassing.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: We knew that Hubert Davis was going to be fired
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: when they canceled his radio show this week. That is
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a dig you what So Hubert Davis five seasons, five
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: seasons in the Carolina Blue and had a winning percentage
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of almost seven hundred and yet didn't do it in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the tournament enough and so he's out. The question, did
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Hubert Davis get a raw deal from North Carolina? Hell no,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They're given like five million dollars to go away. That's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a sweetheart deal. He'll get another job if he wants,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: or he can go do some bad television like he
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: did before ESPN. Someone will hire him. It's just a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: high cost of living in a spookky neighborhood haunted by
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the ghost of Dean Smith who lives in the shadow
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: of the Dean Dome. So we sent the physical, chemical, biological,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and digital evidence to the crime lab on this and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the results came back really really clean, just really really
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: really clean. No foul play, no foul play on this,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: just a cold blooded accounting of the blue blood ledger.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And that's how it works. And so you have been
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: excommunicated from the Chapel the Chapel Hill, bye bye. And
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Hubert Davis was grant did several mulligans in the tournament.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Hower eventually it turns out that the country club there
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina ran out of golf ball. So it
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: turns out blowing a nineteen point lead to VCU was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the final nail in the coffin. That is a Hasmatt situation.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: It is messy, it is loud, and you cannot ignore that,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and especially when you didn't succeed the year before. And
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: so if you don't survive back to back years in
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the first round of the tournament, that's not a slump.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: That is a mortal sin, is what that is. And
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: so yeah, there were injuries, I get it. And you
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: know that's a mere footnote on this. The opponent VCU
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: is irrelevant, doesn't matter. It's open payroll. North Carolina's got
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a payroll here. Boosters demand a hefty ROI return on investment,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and they don't invest that amount of money the boosters
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to have a night at the improv. They don't do that, right,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: they don't. You don't need to pay a lot of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: mone I need to become a laughingstock. You don't have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to do that. So it's make or miss business. And
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: it was a brick house again. Hubert Davis is gonna
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: walk away with five million dollars. He'll get some bad
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: TV job, or some lower level college basketball job or
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: an NBA assistant gig, and he'll be on his merry way.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's maller.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: How about that?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: To the third degree.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: He's seven and zero on opening day.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: This is one big event.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Gets grilled good.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Hello. According to a report this week, an anonymous GM
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: predicted that Anthony Richardson will end up on the Green
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Bay Packers. Now, Ben, could you see the Packers taking
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: a chance on Richardson?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're not gonna play, so who cares? Sit
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: him on the bench? And that's great? Why not? Jordan
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Love will play? And then if Jordan Love gets hurt,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the Packers are screwed, so they'll they'll let Richardson go.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: And that's what they just did. They just had a
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: guy that sucked in Tennessee and now he's getting paid
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year for the Miami dall Dolphins.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: So that's the model for the Green Bay Packers. That's
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: what they used to do back in the day. They
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: just stashed quarterbacks and try to rehab them. And the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: only difference is the Packers didn't trade this latest example next.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Though the Lakers win streak ended at nine games on Monday,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: their recent success and Lebron James's acceptance of a lesser
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: role has led some to believe that Lebron's staying with
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the Lakers for another season as a viable option.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Ben, do you think Lebron could stay? Oh? Could he? Yeah?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: The multiverse, there's a world where Lebron James stays. He
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: does love La. He loves hanging out with all these
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Hollywood f's and all that everyone in La. Oh Lebron,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: they kiss his ass anywhere. I still think he's going
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: back to Cleveland. I think that's where he ends his career.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: He's got a problem, though, because if Lebron leaves the Lakers,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the first move the Lakers make is they release his kid.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: So that's that's the problem, because the only reason on
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the team is because of that. Next.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Celtics point guard Derek White was recently outed as a
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theorist by his head coach, and on a recent podcast,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: he said he wouldn't call himself a conspiracy theorist, but
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: he admits that he doesn't believe we landed on the moon. Yeah, Ben,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: is there any conspiracy theory that you subscribe to? Yeah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: there's a bunch.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I think there are. There's another species living on the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: planet in the oceans, lizards under the oceans. I also
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: believe that the cal Ripken streak should have ended. You
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: got no flight with Kevin Kostner, I believe that conspiracy.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: How do we do coop? He passes it's so we
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: put it on the bold.
