  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We begin the new week with a topic of conversation,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: which I know many of you love so much. You said,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I need more of it, Ben, give me more, give
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: me more, give me more, give me more.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: That would be pro bouncy ball.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That's right. We'll start out in Motown. We'll start out
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in the state of Michigan where Caid Cuttingham, who had
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a hiccup, he had a glitch in his game earlier
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in the series, kept turning the ball over. Well, that'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: all be forgotten, cutting him with thirty two points, filling
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: up the box score thirty two points, twelve assists and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a partridge into paratree. Tobias Harris Journeyman. Tobias Harris had
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: thirty points. The Pistons make the Magic disappear. No no
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: na da good bye.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I see it later.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Orlando out of the playoffs, won sixteen to ninety four
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in Game seven on Sunday, So that means that the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Pistons have won a playoff series. If you're eighteen years old,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this is like the first time pretty much in your lifetime,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they've won a playoff series. It had been eighteen years
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the last time. How's that possible that they had won
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a playoff series? But there we are in cutting him
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: thirty two points. He averaged thirty two point four points
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: per game for Detroit in this series. And they last
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: won a postseason series against the aforementioned Orlando Magic way
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: back in eight barely a memory of that. Barely a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: memory of that. And so the Pistons now advanced, they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: will play the Cadavers in game number one of that series.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I'll be coming up on Tuesday. That would be tomorrow,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I know, still late Sunday night in the West, but
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: there'll be a quiz on this, So it's late Sunday
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in the West, but it's going to be early early
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on on on Tuesday, which is tomorrow. So it's almost Monday,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so that means tomorrow so there you go. The Pistons
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: will take on the team from Ohio. The better story, though,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room on this once, so
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to focus on that. Where Paulo Bonchero was asked,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he had a big stat line. Was asked about the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: status of the Magic franchise. They don't seem to do
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: anything in the playoffs. I've been in the playoffs a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: few times here recently and they haven't really made any noise,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: made their mark.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Any of that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And he was seated there at the postgame news conference
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on stage at the Dais and Bonchero he paused a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: little bit before answering the question, and he was asked
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the question, he said, I want to say yes. When
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I asked the question, he said, but this is the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: third straight time we haven't gotten out of the first round,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: bon Chero said, So, if you're going off the last
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: three years, the answer is no talking about whether or
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not the Magic can get it done this group of players.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So if this is going off the last three years,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: obviously not. I can't say we're good enough to be
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in the finals of the Eastern Finals, he said, because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of the last three years we've had the same results.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So that's your answer. Okay, thank you, good jumping off point.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Now here's the question.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Can you explain what's wrong because we have all the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: answers doing overnight talk radio, what is wrong with Paul
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: all Voncero's Orlando Magic.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: In the playoffs? Playoffs?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So on this one, we'll bounce around a little bit.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We've got co workers Warning Label and George Nori, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we will combine all all of these things together and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: we are going to put the biscuit in the basket,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So a the Orlando Magic.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: After a minutes long review of the available information, I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have determined, and I'm never wrong about these things, the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Orlando Magic are not cursed. They are not cursed. Okay,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they're not. They're stuck in the worst possible place, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: worst possible place in sports. That mushy middle, that mushy,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: mushy middle, that's where they are. That's where they are,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Lando Mets are. They're not bad enough to bottom out.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: They're not trying to bottom out. They did that a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: few years ago, and they've got a bunch of players
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that are high draftics. They traded five draft picks to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: get Desmond Main. Did anyone see him do anything good?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anything in this game against the Pistons.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But in terms of the question, getting back to it,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they're in the middle. The Orlando Magic are in that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: mushy middle there. And it's essentially the way I interpreted
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: what bon Chero said. He basically gave you the corporate
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: approved truth, which is that the team is good, they're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just not that good. And that's the Magic in a nutshell.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They're good, they're just not that good. And it's the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Disney honesty. It' said Disney honesty there from a team
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that plays its home games down the road from the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Magic Castle there in Florida, and all that their playoff identity.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Here's the Orlando Magic playoff identity. They had this series,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: they had a choke hold on it, and they gave
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it all the worst Game seven. You said, well, that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was bad Game six though they were kicking the tail
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of the Pistons.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And it all went to hell. All of it went
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: to hell.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And their playoff entity identity, they show up, the Orlando Magic.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They show up, they try hard, they lose very politely,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: they're very polite.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: When they lose. They're very polite and very important to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: be polite.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: There's no closer. They don't appear to have that guy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy, pal, they don't have that assassin
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out there. And it's a committee, it's a group project.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do it next year. Maybe we'll get it
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: done next year. That'll be what we do. We're gonna
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: get it done next year. And so they're not out
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: there as killers. The star players, the forever players that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the Magic got, Desmond Main and even bon Chero, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it's like they're just kind of clocking in and out.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: La la la la la la la la la la
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: la la la la la la la.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And when that happens, all right, when that happens, you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and I both know what happens next. Say bye bye
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to the head coach. You know that's gonna happen, Jamal Moseley.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: There were rumors that the players were at loggerheads with
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Mosley prior to the series, and it was guaranteed he
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was gonna be out. Well, now this cements it, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that's it. That's all she wrote there. And you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: he's hearing footsteps Jamal Mosley, the whispers, the friction behind
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the scenes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And all that for Orlando. So the the.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: NBA, they try to sell hope. They're big on hope.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's all about hope. We're selling hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Orlando sells lay away. It's it's like, well, we'll get
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to it event just pay a little beach here, we'll
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: get to it eventually.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile to Cleveland we go where the late game on
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the basketball card on Sunday, Jared Allen getting it done.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: He toddy playoff career.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I had twenty two points and nineteen rebounds, and the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Cleveland basketball team advancing to the Eastern Conference semi finals
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: as they win by twelve. The game, Toronto led early
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and then they had to play the rest of the game,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and very early on the Raptors looked like they were
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in good shape, and then by halftime it was all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: tied up. And then after that forget about it. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that sets things up. Donovan Mitchell was the big man
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on campus. He had twenty two points, tied with Jared
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Allen for the lead. There James Harden playoff Harden did
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not play that great. He had eighteen points. And so
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that's it's Scottie Barnes, face of the NBA, Scottie Barnes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All Stars Scottie Barnes. He played well. He had twenty
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: four points for Toronto, nine rebounds.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: R J.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Barrett twenty three as well for the Raptors, who were
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs for the first time way back in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I barely remember that also twenty twenty two.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So the question, let's focus in on the Cleveland side
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of things here on this one, as they were one
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of the better seeds in the East. They had a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: lot of excitement when they got James Harden.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they did.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And so the question is the glass half full or
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is the glass half empty? For the spider Mitchell Calves.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All right, so you'd say, well, they won, so it's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: half full. But I'd say no, You'd say well it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: half empty because they didn't play that well. I'd say
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the answer is neither. I'm gonna go with none of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the above. The glass, I'll put it this way. The
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: glass is not half full. It's not half empty. It
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is cracked. The glass is it cracked, it's leaking, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: somehow James Harden keeps dropping it while Donovan Mitchell goes
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: over there and he's got some duct tape and he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: trying to put the thing back together and all that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: At this point, Cleveland's claim to fame here the pro
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: bouncy ball team in Cleveland is survivability.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Is what it is.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: They don't win clean then, were any of these games
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just a surgical take that I don't remember? Maybe the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: first game. I don't feel like that was the case, though.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So they're able to survive and escape and all that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And this Toronto series not a victory lap. This was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: not some kind of statement that was made said, here
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: we are, We're on our way. This is not a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: statement situation at all. It was kind of like, oh, okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you won the series.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Congratulations.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It's like crawling out of a bad escape room and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you have no clues left except one that you couldn't solve.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I couldn't you solve it? I couldn't solve it. Well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: will you get back in there? What are you doing?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And so that's where a lot of turnover. Ugly basketball,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: shaky basketball, The shooting was not good. Defensive laps is
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: all over the place, here, there and everywhere. It's like
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the greatest Hits album for the Cadavers on bad habits
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in this series, yet they win. They did everything they
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: could to lose until the end, and then they pulled
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that out Cleveland and they win the game. So it
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: does appear they are allergic to comfort. They do not
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: appreciate comfort. Here, you build the lead up and immediately
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Pop goes the lead, just like that, Just like that,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Pop goes the lead like a cheap bubble wrap.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Is how that went.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So if the Cavaliers, if they were on Wall Street
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and you say, okay, what kind of stock are they?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Well, they're not a penny stock. They're not a.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Gold standard stock like a stock's been around forever, you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is gonna make your money.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: They're not that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: They'd be the stock that comes with the big black
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow warning label volatile,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: high risk. It's a high risk stock, emotional damage guaranteed.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So I keep hearing Championship Window, the Cavs are going
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: for it with James Harden. I did not see any
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: anything in this matchup that leads me to believe that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: team is on their way to a magic carpet ride.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: The Cavaliers to go to the NBA finals. I see nothing,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: in fact, just the opposite. I see this is a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: team that gonna be lucky if they get past the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Pistons in round two. And people are about championship window, this,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that and the other thing. But there's no frame. It's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: just a draft and a prayer at this point. That's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: where we are, all right. Meanwhile, we now go to Boston,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: where the if you are the Celtics winning the NBA Championship,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you're a loser, as they were decommissioned from the playoffs
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then we got some really wild
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: conversation from Jalen Brown, the star of the Celtish now
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown claiming on twitch where I get all my
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: breaking sports news on Twitch, I wonder if he was
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: playing games with Blake Snell, the guy that is a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: gamer that sometimes pitches.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: For the Dodgers, but not really just more of a gamer.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Jayalen Brown, though, claimed on Twitch that the NBA referees
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: had a targeted agenda against him.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Yep in the playoffs.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Playoffs, that's right, saying they called offensive files. Cording to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, they called offensive files every time he put
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: his hands up, possibly due to the regular season outsmoking
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: criticism of the Zebras and that rant following the Celtics
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: who blew a three games to one lead in their
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: playoff series as they have been exterminated by the Sixers,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: who had that at Philadelphia look beating and broken. They
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: were people calling each other's names in the locker room.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And now the Sixers came back they win that series.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: In Brown had also been critical of Joe Well andbid
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: floppy mcflop and all that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: All right, I guess we have the other. All right,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: let's go to the audio here. Let's go to the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: audio tape. Take a listen.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: This is my personal opinion on basketball. Some of 'am
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: might disagree, but argue with your grandma. Flopping has ruined
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: our game. Joel Embiid is a great player, one of
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: the best bigs in basketball history.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Flops.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: He know it. This ain't breaking news. It is what
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: it is. I can clip it up, like I said,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: y'all can post it on these paid accounts that he's
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: bought whatever.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, wonderful Jalen Brown, right there, it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all of course, this has been This is not new.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: This has been going on for thirty years, at least
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: twenty five years. At least twenty five years. All right,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So question, how does Jalen Brown come across with his
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: grumbling over the NBA referees and the whole thing. This
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: guy's flopping, I'm not getting any calls here. They're out
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to get me. The man's holding me down. That's essentially
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: his argument. The man's holding me down. That's Jylen Brown.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So Jalen Brown out here talking like the referees were
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: tapping his phone. There was a wire tap on Jalen
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Brown's phone, and it seems a little deeper than just
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: frustration like there, it's more than just frustration there. This
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: is a full blown the league is watching me paranoia
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is what that comes across to me. And it appears
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that Jalen Brown this offseason should spend some time picking
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: up a little side hustle. And I recommend the number
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: two chare. I know George Nori works alone over on
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Coast to Coast, but why not put Jalen Brown in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: there as a coast or least you can host the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: weekend version of Coast to Coast and can talk about
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the Kim Trails and the little Gremlins and all that
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: out to get him.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Who says no, I don't know anyone would say no.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown acting like every whistle was not just a
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: foul but a coordinate surveillan operation against him, because of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: course the NBA doesn't want the Celtics that have a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: national fan base to advance in the playoffs and all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Of course, and he didn't lose a series.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown didn't lose a series here. He lost a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: battle with the imaginary Boogeyman, is what happened. So he's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: essentially accusing the referees of some kind of psychological warfare,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: describing a conspiracy thriller back in the old.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Days when they made good movies in Hollywood.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And it's that, not just a random playoff series where
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you gagged away, you played with your.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Food and you lost. It's a bad job by you.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So Jalen out there talking like the officials had a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: dossier on him, convinced that every whistle was actually not
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: just a whisty, it was a dog whistle coded message
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: from the illumina, the deep state of the NBA. Now
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: do I think sometimes this stuff happens?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely of course I do. Do I think the NBA
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: was out to get Jalen Brown? No?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And does that explain why every other guy in the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Celtics in that last game it was a brick house.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, did he think the referees were hiding in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the bushes before tip off outside the arena?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Is that what was going on here? So we'll see.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Get him on some of those meds that blind Scott's got,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: he'll be all right. Of course he doesn't doesn't really
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: take those either.

• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, don't better lead my man Darkin'
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Bay's ball. We're going to start out in the Boogey
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Doown Bronx Yankee Stadium. The Yankees wing very well to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: start the baseball season, very well for the Yankees. However,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: not all as well for the new Prodigy who was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the I should say new he was the prodigy. He
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: was going to dominate the middle infield for the Yankees
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: for years to come. Turns out that he has been
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: usurped by Jose Caballero, the former Tampa Bay Ray shortstop.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: He is now the everyday shortstop for the New York
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yankees and the Yanks leading the way in the American
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: League East, and they have said bye bye to Anthony
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Volpi for now. He was out with his shoulder injury
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and he has been demoted to Triple A Scranton Wilkesbury.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: So he will be headed to a Triple A.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: And I believe I'm not mistaken the game we're going
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to this weekend, the WUSS Game. I think Scranton is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the opponent. And if that's the case, we could see
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi playing Triple A. I know he's excited about that.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun, right kim On Now, anyway, Aaron Boone said,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Caballero is playing the heck out of the position, playing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: really well. That complicates things, he said, So Vulpi, if
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he remains in the mind of the leagues for another
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: twenty days or longer, that means he would be ineligible
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to become a free agent when he was supposed to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: become a free agent. Instead, he'll have to wait until
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty nine season to become a free agent.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: But the big headline here the guy that was the.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Shortstop for the Yankees in the World Series when they
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: gagged it against the Dodgers a couple of years ago.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi has been demoted and he has been sent
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to the minor league.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Jumping off point, let us discuss the question what went
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: wrong with Anthony Volpi in the Bronx?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Where did it all go? Sideway?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: So I've got strawberry jam, We've got Andy Cohen and bonfire,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: we are going to go ABC and one, two three
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. So number one, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: said number one, all right, all right, So Anthony Volpi,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the answer, which is the right answer, is also the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: simplest answer. Anthony Volpi has sucked at a time you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: cannot suck. He makes way too many errors. He hits
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: an occasional home run, and that's about it. That's all
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: he does. Volpi showed up with Broadway level hype. The
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yankees never bashful about celebrating their minor league players. They
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: hyped this guy up, and he did not deliver Broadway performances.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: He delivered off Broadway performances. And that's the problem. The
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yankees sold the fan base that this was the next
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: big thing, that you had a shortstop.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: You throw away the key.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi is gonna be the Yankee shortstop for years
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to come, and unfortunately for him, no, not the face
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of the franchise, the player most likely to end up
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: next playing for the Milwaukee Brewers or the Sacramento Orphan
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Athletics or somebody like that. So you look at what
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: he did, the body of work for Anthony Volpi here,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and he batted two to twelve very shaky defense last year,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: very shaky defense. And there's a label on there, handle
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: with care. It says handle with care for Volpi. A
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise. And Volpe is
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: still stuck in the interrogation room as he is no
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: longer a prospect. He is firmly a suspect, and he
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is leaning heavily towards the bust category.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And the deadly word.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The most deadly word of them all, is potential. The
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: p word potential. You hear that word. Most overrated word
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: in all of sports is potential.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: It just is.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It is code. It is code for hasn't done anything
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: yet and likely will not do anything of note at all.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And the numbers are brutal. Now, Volpi is one of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: my favorite Yankees because he really nailed it in that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: fifth inning meltdown at Yankee Stadium. So I'm sad I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like Vulpi. I want him on the Yankees because he's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: so bad at his job. He makes the other teams
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: look good. If you saw the numbers, the numbers are
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: just brutal. Among all players with real runway since twenty
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: twenty three, since he came in to the major league,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi, he is near the bottom or at the bottom,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and on base percentage volpy, batting average, and ops, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: name it, and he's in the bottom percentile in every
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: key offensive category that is not growing pains. We're past
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the growing pain stage. That is getting lapped by the field.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: You're getting lapped by everybody. And this is a case
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of too much toast. There's too much toast there and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: not enough strawberry jam. Well, you've got a lot of toast,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but you need to put jam on the toast. Why
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I can't put jam on the toast. We have too
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: much toast and not enough strawberry jam. Well maybe we
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: have too much strawberry jam and we don't have enough
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: strawberry jam. We have too much toast. But either way,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that's the case. The story was good. People loved the story.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: They always buy the story. Volpi was like the local.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Guy, and he had the leadership skills, the intangibles.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Look that word up. That's a weasel word in tangibles.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And at some point this is unfortunate. You actually have
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to do the job. You can't just ride the fact
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: that you are a good story. You actually have to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do the job. There, make the routine play. That's too
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: much to ask for. What are you talking about? Make
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the routine play? Have you lost your mind? And Volby
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: talked to talk? The people around the Yankees talk to talk,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't walk the walk. And the bigger question is why
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: did it take the Yankees this long? Seriously? Why did
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it take them this long? A year and a half ago.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: A year and a half ago is like, Okay, this
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: guy's not it and no Yankees are. We stand by
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: our man, We support this guy. Something must have changed.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Did this come from ownership? Did one of the Steinbrenner
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: clans say enough is enough, let's do some youth in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Asia here or in this case send down to Scranton
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and Wolfsbury. Get this guy out of here. But you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: reset the swing, rebuild the confidence, all those buzz terms
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: that people use about players to get sent to the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: minor leagues and figure some stuff out and all that stuff.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Leave it when I see it. I am not buying
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: what they're selling about This is going to be a
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: quick reset. And I even saw some of the chatter
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: was like, well, the Yankees wanted to go to the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: minor league, so they get an extra year before he's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: able to become a free agent. Really, why would you
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: care about that? The guy can't play.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Who cares? Let me be a free agent right now?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Who cares? All right? Meanwhile, we go to Boston.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: We have some drama o rama bubbling up over the weekend,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fallout from the dismissal of Alex Cora, the Red Sox.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras, former catcher.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: He's like a first base bouncer around a little bit.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But Wilson Contreras, he was asked about the changing of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox locker room with Alex Cora, the cheating
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: astro being gone. He said, quote, it's different with Alex
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: not here. Wilson Contrera said. After Cora got fired, the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: guys got loose a little more because I feel like
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the tension was gone. Contreras said, throwing Alex Cora under
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the bus. That's what it felt like, he said, that's
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: my own opinion. When Alex wasn't in the dugout anymore,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the team was kind of like a loose close quote. Okay, Now,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Contreras said that it probably doesn't help that the lineup
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: has a bunch of young players for the Red Sox
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this year. They don't have a lot of experience dealing
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: with playing like crap, which many of them have been
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: doing all season to begin the year. Here and then
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Marcello Meyer checked in and he said, wait a minute here,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: hold on a sec Marcello said, wait a minute here
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that he didn't agree. He said to me, that's just
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: kind of an excuse. He said, blame the young guys.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Meyer said, So, question, You've got dueling narratives coming out
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: of the Red Sox locker room. We've got Marcello Meyer
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: claiming that he's going to clap back and he did
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: clap back at Wilson Contrera's here where the former manager
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Alex Korra being part of the Red Sox problems. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: how are you thinking about this one? So you got
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: two different guys on the team. One guy said, Hey,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the guys loosened up. The young guys loosened up when
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Cora was gone. The other guy said, that's a that's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: an excuse.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: You know what this is.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It's a reality check. No, seriously, this is a reality
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: check situation. The Red Sox have officially stopped being a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: baseball team and they have transitioned into a multi season Bravo,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Bravo franchise, Bravo, Baro, barbo.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Just like that.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Now, if you look at this the dynamic here, you
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: got one guy saying, well, you guys are feeling pressure
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: because of Alex Cora. The other guys like got to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: cop out, and there are more confessionals going on.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: And these are two.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: There's other players that we did not bring up last
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: week that said similar things. But it's like a Real
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Housewives reunion episode, is what it is. And the vibes
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: are sub Terranian around the team, and the younger guys
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: are calling out the veteran guys for excuse making and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so you've got Marcela Meyer who
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: basically told Wilson Contreras to shove that Alex Cora was
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the problem. Narrative where the sun don't shine, just get
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: rid of it, and he's got some backpoints twenty three.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: He's one of the younger guys on the Red Sox.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And it's the oldest, laziest trope in all of sports.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And it's just a default boilerplate position. When something like
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this happens, the veteran players blame the youth to dodge accountability.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, it's because they're young, that's.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: So they don't get it. They don't understand. They always
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: go with that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: And if accountability were a stat if accountability were an
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: actual statistic on Baseball Reference, this team would have a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: batting average of point zero zero zero zero zero, if
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying here. And so forget the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: analytics and all the nerd stuff and all that stuff,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the pitching coaches, the hitting coaches, all that stuff. The
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Red Sox they don't need a manager at this point.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: They need a mediator, is what they need. Here a
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: reunion special hosted by Andy Kohn. And this isn't a rebuild,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: it's like a recasting situation like next week on Real
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Housewives of Boston. The only thing younger than the roster
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is the maturity level, and that's it. And baseball we're
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: talking baseball, a game, a game of baseball. Yeah, it's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: just background noise to the dysfunction junction. What's your function?
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Final point, we stay in Boston. A plane flew over
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Fenway Park. This happens every once in a while, planes
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: actually fly over stadiums. But a plane flew over Finway
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: over the weekend.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: It had a.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Banner that called for Red Sox owner John Henry to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: fire the GM of the Red Sox, Craig Breslo, and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: sell the team. The banner said, fire Craig, sell the team,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: pretty straightforward, Pretty straightforward.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: So the question where are you at on the Red
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Sox fan? Somebody bank rolling a plane flyover demanding change?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So where are you at on that one? So the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox are so bad?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: How bad are they?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: They are so bad this year that the pilots are
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: joining the protest movement. Can you imagine? Hey, this is
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: a Joe Blow Airlines. Hey Joe Blow Airlines. Yeah, this
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is this is so and so. Yeah, So I want you,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I'm to buy a sign. I'd like you to circle
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: around Finway Park for like three hours and I'll what's
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the rate on that?
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: That's like five grand. Okay, sure, no problem, we'll do that.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Why not, It's it's just great.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So apparently the front office only responds to I guess skywriting,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like John Henry does not respond unless it's in the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: sky and then they'll be like okay. And you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: John Henry saw the banner and he didn't think it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: was a problem. He didn't he thought, well, that's a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: sponsorship opportunity. And this is always the thing, right, that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: was not a message, right, it was not a message.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: That was a performance review at ten thousand feet or whatever.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: The issue is always this. The thing that gets changed
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: in sports is not passion. This shows passion. The thing
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that scares everybody is the A word. So this is,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, a waste of money. And only do
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you hold a bonfire in Boston and burn what five thousand,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: minimum five thousand dollars.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: With fuel and all that to get the plane in
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: the sky.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: See it blew about five thousand if not more, on
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a banner to say what your random caller to talk
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: radio could have told you and yelled at you for free.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And so again, the issue here at this point is
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the if you really want something to change, you.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Got to go with apathy. That's it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: The passion means you're still engaged. They still got you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: by the balls. You're engaged, you're interested. And guys like
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: John Henry, they respond to apathy, they do, and that
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: scares them more than anything, because you're not engaged, you're
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: not into it. You're not buying into the product, you're
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: not watching it on TV. You're not buying souvenirs, you're
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: not buying the lopster boat poutine or whatever that is.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And so that's it that leads to change. The Dodgers
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: are in the glory days of baseball because of a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: fan revolt, a fan revolt where Frank McCourt owned the team.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: People stopped watching the games on television. The ratings went down,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the television ratings went down. People were not engaged. It
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: was one of the great fan bases in baseball. People said,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: we're not into it, we're not part of it, we're
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: not going to do it.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: And at the time, the.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Used car salesman, Bud Selik and the powers that be
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: at baseball got together. They had a powwow, and so
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: we got to force this guy out. So they gave
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Frank McCort, the parking lots a Dodger Stadium, and the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: group came in, the Gougenheim group, and they they're of
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: course price gouging the Dodger fans, but they're winning and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that's all people care about. They don't care about the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: price gouging. They put up with that as long as
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the team is successful in the field, and the Dodgers
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: have obviously been the most successful team in baseball the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: last decade or so.

  Speaker 3: All right, cool? What do we have here?
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: It's been a big Celtics fan of mine. I talked
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: to after you have.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: A Celtic fans.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a friend, a friend of mine is a big
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Celtics fan. Talked to her after they were eliminated, and
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: I was surprised at how upbeaty was.
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: She said, you know, it really wasn't supposed to be
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: our year.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Jason Tatum wasn't supposed to be you know, come back,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: you know, it was supposed to be a last season.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Celtics fans find solace in that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: No, they had a great regular season. They overachieved. Tatum
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: came back. I know he didn't play in Game seven,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: but he was back. The thing that would drive me
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: nuts if I was a Celtic fan is Joe Mizzoula
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and the way that the Celtics play that the amount
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of free point shots that they were missing and they
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: never adjusted like that would drive me. To me, that's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a bigger problem than anything like I wouldn't think this
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: was a great year. They kept selling it was a
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: gap year. No.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Next, it was reported that former Browns Titan David Nijoku
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: will be visiting with the Chargers today and a lot
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: of Chargers fans are excited about that. Think Mike McDaniel
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: can turned him back into a Pro Bowl tight end.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Ben, do you think that's the case. Should to be
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: excited about David Nadjoku?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: No, listen, he's He's a decent NFL player. He had
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of good years in Cleveland. This is not
