I know Jason the Diamondman excited about that, and many
people staying up all night with us as we are
the pre pregame.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Show to oh ning morning.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Uh yeah, And I love hearing the grumbling of people
that don't live our life, that don't know what it's
like to live our world. That bitch about having it.
Oh my god, they're playing the first game with the
baseball at six of the morning, three in the morning
in the west six and the oh so bat Screw
(02:08):
all of you, I hate all of you. Welcome to
my world, settle in Bukaroo. This is just a normal
day for us, just a normal, normal night.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
That's it. So we had a lot to get to
and I learned my lesson.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
We attempted to talk some hot college basketball in a
previous episode of the show. We literally had to turn
the transmitters back on. We had to turn the transmitters
back on the we just knows no one left, and
it was it was warning.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
There was like a light flashing, woooo what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So we are going to go back to the thing
that keeps the lights on here at the mighty powerful
Fox Sports Radio Studios, here in the Premiere Networks building
at the iHeart Building, which is in a different building.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But our lead this hour is from the neighborhood, from
the neighborhood, mister Rogers neighborhood. I'm convinced that mister Rogers
has ulterior motives here that Aaron Rodgers' goal, all right,
his goal here is to just make sure that we
have fresh content on sports media radio television, because we
(03:17):
have a status update, a status update on Aaron Rodgers.
If you've not been paying attention here, you've been distracted
by some other shiny object. Aaron Rodgers is in the
ballot booth. He's got the ballot in front of him.
It's got Steelers on the line right there. Below it's
got the Giants, then it's got the Vikings with a
(03:39):
question mark, and then at the very bottom it says
none of the above. And so Rogers is in the
voting booth and he's an undecided voter, and he's just
decided that he doesn't want to decide. The decision is
I don't want to de side anything at this point.
(03:59):
And so his hands wobbling, and he's got the shivers,
he's got the flop sweat. He don't know what to
do now, State sponsored NFL Media, he propped the news
service in the National Football League tells us that the
decision conceivably will not happen until the NFL Draft, which is,
let me check my notes here, thirty seven days away,
(04:21):
so over a month away. Then you might remember a
couple of years back when Aaron Rodgers was debating where
he was going to end up, and he was with
the Green Bay Packers, and it was around the draft,
if I remember correctly, when Rogers got off the toilet
and finally decided to go live in the toilet, which
is the Jets building there in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So we've got some time here.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
If that's act, of course, you'll get that report today tomorrow,
there'll be a report that Rogers wants to decide by
this weekend because there's a comic book festival somewhere he
wants to go to. So let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel, which you are part of the.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Chatter that Aaron Rogers free ag decision.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The decision of Rogers could not come until the NFL Draft,
which is in late April, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Drummer FB express train and telemarketer, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make some jumbalaya, is what we're gonna make. Not that
Aaron Rodgers has ever eaten jumbalaya, I don't think he has.
But we're just gonna make some jumbali. So a my
first thought on the Rogers thing, to answer the question,
(05:40):
is it a believe it or not situation?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, I am a believer in this one.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I believe believe is in the cards at this point,
because initially it was like, well, Roger's going to sign
in the next forty eight hours. There was that report,
and then that didn't happen, and then there were the
tabloid photos of Rogers meandering around the beach in Male
Boo and contemplating the time space continuum as he wandered
around there. But Rogers, one thing's for sure, he is
(06:08):
not going to be bullied. You're not gonna bully Adam
Schefter Aaron Rodgers into making a decision.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He marches to the beat of his own drummer, and
his own drummer, who knows that drummer might be named
Joe Rogan or you know, somebody in the Trump administry.
I don't know, I have no idea, but Rogers will
not conform to what normal football decorum is. Right, the
popular societal norms in the NFL is that you sign rapidly.
(06:39):
And because because you've got a bottleneck here, you got
other suckbag quarterbacks that are like, what about us? What
about us? You know, like the Russell Wilson's out there,
what about me? You got Kirk Cousins in Atlanta who
we traded at some point here, and so they're like, hey,
we sucked too, but we want to go to different teams?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What about us?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And Rogers is at the front, and what you can't
the whole road's blocked. Rogers is blocking the whole road
at this particular point. But he's in his canoe and
he paddles his own canoe, and he's just gonna paddle
la la la la, la la la. I'm paddling my
own canoe, just like that. That sound of him paddling
his own canoe, refusing to follow the crowd, And Rogers figures,
(07:23):
if you really want him, you're gonna wait for it. Yeah,
you're gonna wait for him, And ergo. You know what
that means, Rogers wants to enjoy his downtime. See the
way I'm reading this, the longer that Rogers is just
floating in the wind like a tin can and a hurricane,
just floating in the wind there, and he can do
(07:45):
what every once. He can walk around the beaches of Malibu,
he can travel to the four corners of the planet.
It doesn't matter right the moment he signs a deal,
the moment Rogers agrees to a contract with the Steelers,
the Giant, it's the Vikings or Mystery Team, my favorite,
the Mystery Team. The moment Dad happens. You know what
(08:06):
that means Rogers will then be expected to attend team functions,
to be a leader, to not travel to Egypt when
there's many camps going on. And so the longer he
doesn't agree to a contract, the further he kicks it back,
the more time he can do whatever he wants, and
no one will criticize Rogers because he hasn't signed a contract,
(08:29):
and it's as long as he drags it out. He
can go hang out with Joe Rogan and Austin and
do the podcast. He can travel to tim Buck too,
and he will go anywhere. It doesn't matter, right, And
as the world turns now, speaking of as the world turns,
one of our favorite quarterbacks who loves crab legs, famous
(08:50):
Jameis Winston is set to meet later on hours from
now with the New York Football Giants, we are told,
And so Jameis Winston, famous Jamis who played with Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Not well, not well with Cleveland, then was a.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Commentator for Fox during the Super Bowl coverage. And now
Jameis Winston is going to meet with the New York
Giants and free agency? Is that something or nothing? So
I have I jotted down on my my chicken scratch.
I dritted it down something and I'm pulling for Jamis Winston.
(09:29):
If you're gonna get a mediocre to bad quarterback, if
you're the Giants, you might as well go down this road.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
In fact, I will rubber stamp the malor rubber stamp
of approval for Jameis Winston. That means a lot, it does.
It means send that out on social media, That means
a lot. That is the contingency plan for the Giants,
the lesser of not two, the lesser of three evils,
(09:57):
because if you take the temperature in the room. He's
pretty obvious. Aaron Rodgers isn't all that interested in playing
for the Giants. Does anyone disagree with that? I don't
see any hands raised, So he's not interested in playing
for the Giants.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So you look.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Around and you're like the bronze winner in that it's
the Steelers, Vikings or retirement, and then the Giants and
the other options. You got Russell Wilson, who's absolutely cooked
at this particular point, and Kirk Cousins, whoopee dam doo.
(10:33):
Those are your options, Dollsville, Doulsville. So Jameis Winston is
the antithesis of that.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm not sitting here and telling you behind the microphones
of FSR that Jameis Winston's good.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I don't believe he is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But what he is is more importantly, He's on the
train what I call the FB Express train, the fun
bad Express train. And I want fun bad. I love
fun bad. Who doesn't enjoy fun bad? Fun bad is great.
I live for fun bad. If you're gonna be bad,
(11:06):
at least be fun. Don't be bad boring, be fun bad.
And that's Jameis Winston. He's mesmerizing he's charismatic off the field,
he says, goofy things. He's fun, just a fun loving
guy and all that. He's a high risk, high reward
situation a quarterback. There one man band, it says in
(11:27):
the Bible Jamith Gibbeth and Jamith take it away. That
involves throwing interceptions and pick sixes and all that. And
it's fun. For every two interceptions that Jameis Winston throws,
he'll throw like a touchdown. For every two touchdowns four interceptions,
it's it's fascinating to.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Watch him play.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And also, don't forget if he does go Jameis Winston
to the Giants, that would mean that Sekwon Barkley. His
stretch of hits continues because remember at the Super Bowl
media event, which used to be Media Day before its
commercialized by the NFL and they ruined it. But at
that event, Jameis Winston interviewed Saquon Barkley called NFL opening
(12:07):
that would have dope named. They came up with it
and they sold tickets or where other people go. But
Barkley was asked by Winston, hey, where should I go?
And kind of sarcastically, Saquon Barkley said, well, I hear
that New York the Giants need a quarterback, and sure enough,
later today Jameis Winston will meet with the team that
fired Saquon Barkley and allowed him to go to Philadelphia
(12:29):
and lead the Egos to the Super Bowl. Not last word,
a regular punching bag, not a full size punching bag,
A little punching bag on this show, Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Now, Kyler Murray quote when viral.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Several of you sent this to me, and I thank
you for that because I don't have to really pay
attention to Kyler Murray news because.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You idiots send me the stores not really on my radar.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Things that small don't show up on my radar, and
so I normally just don't pay attention. But you guys
always let me know when there's something out there about Kyler.
So Kyler Murray said recently, the Cardinals are not far
at all. That's the quinet we have the quote, right,
not far at all, Kyler Murray said, the Cardinals are
not far at all from the Super Bowl. So what
(13:15):
is your response?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So my response is, I think it's the what they
do in the cartoons. They yawn, and they stretch right,
you yawn and you kind of you stretch your arms out,
you and then you stretch your arms out like that.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I think that's my response.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I believe that is Now technically he's not wrong, because
the super Bowl next year will be played in Northern California,
and I believe it's about an hour fifteen minutes or so,
maybe a little longer than that from Sky Harbor Airport
to the airport closest to the forty nine ers Stadium.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Maybe a little longer, give or take. So it's not
that far.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're not that far away from flying into Northern California
from Arizona where the super Bowl will be played. But
Kyler Murray, I give the guy credit because I knew.
I knew right away this guy was phony and he's
been able to bamboozle the dumb dums in Arizona all
these years, six years into his NFL sojourn, and the
(14:11):
only thing he's an All pro at his video games.
It's fascinating, and yet it continues and there's really no
end in sight. There were some rumors that Murray will
be traded, but got to find another sucker to take
Kyler Murray on, but alligator arms Murray and he says, hey,
the Cardinals are not that far away from the super Bowl.
Of course, if you put your record and my record together,
(14:35):
Kyler Murray and you and me combined, we have the
same number of playoff wins. That would be zero zip zilch,
not a bupkis any other way you want to phrase that,
no playoff wins. The one playoff game he played in,
he was absolutely overwhelmed over like a kid trying to
(14:56):
sit at the grown ups table against the Rams in
that playoff game.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Remember that days look on the bench like what am
I doing here? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But Kyler is a fifty to fifty player. He's a
fifty to fifty player. He's fine for half the season.
Because of his domeanon of size, or just the video
game addiction that he has, he's unable to perform at
a high level in the second that. It's not my opinion,
it's a fact, and the numbers back that up and
my supporting evidence for those of you questioning my analysis
(15:25):
of Kyler Murray, the eyeballs and the stats back up
that argument.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
To Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Twenty two and seventeen record with a good touchdown interception
numbers in September and October, so that's half the season,
play four games a month about and so it's halfway
through the season. Then in the dates after that, November
and December and a little bit of January, Kyler Murray
as a record which is, I believe fourteen games under
(15:52):
five hundred and terrible touchdown interception numbers and just dreadful,
just absolute from Kyler Murray past that point. And so
Kyler Murray saying, hey, we're not that far away from
the super Bowl. It's like reading off a telemarketers script
and he's like, yeah, hey, cold calling you and I'm
(16:14):
gonna make your life better.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Blah blah blah blah. That's a stock answer.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's going to sportscliche dot com, rip and read knock
yourself out. Kyler Murray has a much better chance of
winning one of these video game tournaments than he does
winning a super Bowl. Even getting to a Super Bowl,
it's not gonna happen. Cardinals with Kyler Murray are a
roster that is led by their quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
It's soft and creamy. It's a soft and creamy roster.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So our lead this hour, our lead this hour is
from pro bouncy ball, not college basketball.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Pro bouncyball.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
College basketball does not begin until later on, so we
can talk about the pro game and why not? Why
not because the story of stories here and it's been
bouncing around.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's like a boomerang.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The story started a couple of weeks ago, it died out,
and it's come back around. It's like a Haley's Comments story.
It bounced back. So as we inch closer to the
end of the regular season in the en b a
as I've often pointed out, the better story is in
the losing locker room, and that locker room we're going
to focus on right now would be the Grand Canyon
(17:37):
State that is the home of one pro bouncy ball team.
They call themselves the Suns, but they haven't been very
bright so far this season. If you've not been paying attention. Now,
a lot of chatter, and I love chatter. I'm in
the chatter business. So there's been a lot of chatter
that the Phoenix Pro basketball team is considering handing the
guillotine to their head coach, Mike Budenhoe, who had gotten
(18:02):
it done in Milwaukee a couple of years ago and
has been relatively successful as a head coach in the
different places that he's been. He's a journeyman head coach,
and that he's going to get the old guillotine as
a way to please kd and Devin Booker, who are
said to be grumbling, rumbling and grumbling and stumbling. Now,
(18:24):
despite the very high expectations, the anticipation with Bradley Beal,
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant that the Suns were going
to reign supreme over the NBA, well, obviously that hasn't happened.
They are not only a basketball team. They suck ah many.
It's just a miserable season. So let us discuss the
(18:45):
question with all the buzz, the buzz that the Sons
could fire Mike Budenholzer their coach in the offseason to
appease Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Is this yes, no
or maybe so? Situation? So I have medallion, seagull and
(19:09):
honorary mayor and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a cactus, and
we're going to sit on the cactus, which is more
enjoyable than watching the Phoenix Suns play basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
So the answer n barr.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He said nam bar number one. So the answer is
maybe so. Now my answer is no. But the real
answer we deal in the real world, not the fake world.
We do the real heavy lifting here in overnight sports
radio and in the real world where I talk in
the answer is maybe so. It should be no. Mike
(19:49):
Budenholzer is not the issue. Is he the greatest coach
on God's green Earth?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
No? Is he the worst coach? No? He's all right.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He's a serviceable head coach in the NBA. He's not
the reason the blow chunks. That's not why. And and
I understand coaches are like disposable razors, easily replaceable, easily.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Replaced by I get that.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Nevertheless, the Phoenix Suns have made it a regular occurrence
to get rid of coach. It is a revolving door situation.
And they've had instability and ownership. They've kept getting rid
of coaches. But you certainly don't get rid of a
coach if the reporting is accurate. They're saying well, slim
Reaper's not happy.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
What d damn do? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
If you do that, if you're getting rid of the
coach to make Kevin Durant happy, you might as well
keep the coach. Because Kevin Durant, if you look at
his resume as a as a great player in the NBA,
he also wears this gold chain. And on that gold chain,
the very end of that gold chain wrapped around his neck,
there you have the medallion. And on that medallion is
(20:56):
a piece of kryptonite. And his kryptonite is the coach.
If you go through the coaches that Kevin Durant has
played for over the recent stretch of his career, has
We've got Steve nash on there, Monty Williams, Mike Budenhozer,
and the beat goes.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
On and on and on and on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And KD always gets a mulligan. He always escapes the blame.
It's it's well, it's not his fault, it's you know,
this guy's fault. But the finger of blame goes to
the coach.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But yet the.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Common denominator in all of those situations is Kevin Durant,
mister all everything and all that, and the Sons have this.
From my perspective, having watched a few of the Suns
games this year, they have this highly contagious situation. Venomous.
It's a venomous situation. It's an infectious disease. It is
(21:48):
my diagnosis. The Sons are suffering from IDGAF. I don't
give a f. Now, it doesn't matter whether you are
a pro bouncy ball player, whether you're a talk to
your host, whether you're a trash man, a security guard.
If you suffer from this contagious disease at whatever you
(22:10):
do in life, whatever your life's work is, and you
suffer from I don't give an f.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You're going to be bad.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
At your job. That's just the reality of the situation.
And listen, I worked with a lot of people over
the years in this business. They don't They just don't
put the work in and it shows. And in pro
bouncy ball, there are things there that really really.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Make you look just horrific.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
If you have the disease of I, I don't give
an f. Yeah, it's it's not good, right. And you
look at the core of the Suns, the superstars who
are all making big time money. They've made big time
money for a long time. They don't do a lot
of those hustle plays. They don't draw a lot of charges.
(22:58):
There's not a lot of deflections on d because that
takes effort, and if you have I don't give an
f you don't do a lot of that. They don't
recover a lot of loose balls because again that's an
effort play. So you do the bare minimum and you
just look terrible. And it's those little things within the
margins that separate you from being good and reaching your
(23:20):
full level of ability and not reaching your full level ability.
And last I checked, I might be wrong with this.
I don't believe this is aau ball like no coach
is going to be able to motivate you at the
professional level. That's not it's not raw raw stuff. That's
not how how it works if you don't have the
inner fire, because again you're suffering from a I id
(23:42):
GF g AF almost said it. Uh, then then you
got problems and it doesn't matter all right now page two,
So we have grumbling out of big deed. Did you
see this, PJ.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Washington? That's a pro bouncy ball player, but people PJ.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Washington says, that the the Mavericks players are sick and tired.
They're sick and tired of the Maverick fan base chanting.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Fier niko, fier.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Nko, just like that.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's been NonStop since it wasn't a trade that Mavericks
just decided to hand Luka Donsik to the Lakers and
said here, you're gonna have them, and so ever since then,
it's been a constant undercurrent of fire Nico Homeman road.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And so finally PJ.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Washington snapped, He confronted someone says tired, you know, sick
and tire.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
The whole team is of this.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So question for the esteem panel, do you have empathy
for the plight of PJ Washington and the Dallas Mavericks
players who are complaining about the constant soundtrack of their
season being fire Nico, do you have empathy? So I'll
go first. I'm shaking my head. No, I do not
(25:03):
have any empathy here. We're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Here. This is actually a felony. This is a felon.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It is not a Misdemeanor's a felony, and it is
an absolute dereliction of duties and it is completely justified
by the Dallas Maverick supporters, and if it didn't happen,
that would be a problem. Now, in the big picture,
if you look around here, it's actually a good thing.
I'll explain why in a second. But what happened with
(25:32):
Nico Harrison is the what I call the sea goal approach.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Now, what is the sea goal approach?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
The seagull approach is Nico Harrison swooped in and actually
made things worse. Now, a lot of bosses do that.
I've had some over the years that have done the
same thing. They make a situation that is not great
and they come in there with their wisdom and somehow
eff it up even more. And that's what Nico Harrison did.
(26:00):
He also allowed the ownership signed off on it. So
it's on multiple levels. No, you say, Nico Harrison traded them,
but you don't trade you your franchise player without ownership saying.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Okay, seems like a good idea. Why not.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I still believe some of the conspiracy stuff will come out,
whether it was the League office for television, whether it
was the ownership of the Mavericks trying to sandbag the
franchise to move to the Vegas. I tend to believe
that some of that stuff is true. It'll come out
at some point, somebody to write a book. It'll all
come out down the line. But the Maverick players are
(26:33):
caught in the crossfire. It's collateral damage from the seagull
approach of Nico Harrison and the ownership there. But it's
actually good in the big picture. And here's why. Let
me make my elevator pitch. Why it's good. Having worked
around the sports game and talk to enough people in
the business over the years, the fact that the Maverick
fan base is up in arms and they've got their
(26:57):
pitchforks and their torches out, and they're doing mock.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Funerals and the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That is a good thing because it's a passion play
and you want that because you care.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It matters.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Right, You're in Dallas listening to me right now, and
you're hurt by the fact the team's gonna suck for
the next ten years of your life because of this
trade and not a giveaway, not a trade, and so
you're bothered by that.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
It means something to you.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And the moment that becomes a bigger problem is when
people stop caring, and that's when the dreaded a word
takes over.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Apathy. That is the death of professional sports. Apathy.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
People don't care. And when apathy sets in, you might
as well bring back Dick Mata, who I think is
still alive. By the way, he's got to be in
his nineties. Guy, I mean gott to be in his
night Dick Matta, who's got coached me. I was like
a teenager covering the NBA and Dick Motta was coaching
in the NBA and he was really f and old.
And now I'm getting old, so he's got to be old.
(28:00):
And you know, bring back like pop Eye Jones and
Lucius Harris and some of those great iconic Maverick players
of the nineties and bring them back all right now,
final point. So we had a viral moment at the
Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Midtown Manhattan. Now I
happen to be watching this game because it was the
only game in the early television window and I like
(28:21):
to have a game on. I couldn't find a baseball game.
Not a lot of spring training TV broadcast this year,
and of course the regular season is starting in a
couple hours from now in Tokyo, so I was watching
the Knicks in the heat. I was settling in and
of course I saw our friend of the show, Kenny Albert,
the filled in play by play guy the Knicks, So
I was happy to see Kenny Albert. And then I
saw Walt Clyde Fraser and Walt Fraser had I was
(28:45):
watching the MSG feed and Walt Fraser had this ridiculous
Saint Patti's Day outfitter. Nobody dresses as debonair as Walt Fraser,
so it was great. It was great seeing that. And
so I'm watching the game and early on the Heat
played pretty well in the first half, and then at
some point right after halftime, the Heat realized where the
Miami Heat, and we're not good, and then they sucked
(29:08):
and they were terrible from.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
That by floor.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But there was a moment where the game was delayed
and they didn't really say what had happened. They said
there was a medical situation on the court, and they
didn't say what had happened, and I didn't really pay
much attention to it, and then I started getting these
messages on my phone.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Did you hear what happened? Well, I'm watching the game, and.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
He says some medical situation, but you know, I didn't
really see what happened. And so it turns out that
comedian Tracy Morgan caused about a ten to fifteen minute
to lay in an NBA game on Monday night because
Tracy Morgan upchucked. He rode the vomit comet all over
(29:48):
the floor right at mid court, sitting in that celebrity
row at Madison Square Garden, and there was a viral photo.
You talk about art in photography, Ansel Adams has nothing
on whoever took this photo of the man the myth,
the legend, Tracy Morgan at the point of explosion, when
(30:09):
he is leaning over and he is vomiting, the stream
of yellow goo coming out of the man's mouth, and
it was captured right in the act. It's like the
Zebruder film. It's unbelievable the artwork that is in.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
That particular photo. And check it out.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Even Blind Scott's impressed by that. And Incoad Terror and
Blind Emmett, there was so much puke that came out
of this guy's stomach. Then there was literally the pavement
pizzas some people call it was all over the place
that it actually splashed and cascaded onto the court. If
you can imagine, it was like the Great flood of
(30:55):
Madison Square Garden and on the playing floor. The game
was halted for several minutes. I estimated ten to fifteen minutes.
There were a bunch of people trying to clean it up.
So you had people it was like a Vaudvillian act.
You had people trying to clean up the puke. You
also had other people trying to attend to Tracy Morgan,
(31:16):
and he's in his mid fifties. He vomited so much
as nose started bleeding and he was taken away and
in some social media critics or upset that people were
having an absolute field day with this particular story. It's
not every day that a well known celebrity delays an
NBA game. It just happens to be, I don't know,
(31:38):
on Saint Patrick's day where the guy puked all over
the court. And so I asked the question, goofing on
Tracy Morgan and his reversal of fortune at the Knickerbocker
game with the Miami Heat, is that fair or foul?
So after a booth review, we have determined it is
(31:59):
a fair ball. It is a fair ball to me.
This is not this deep. It's not that deep. Tracy Morgan,
last I checked, is a comedian. This is the kind
of stuff that Tracy Morgan would tell jokes about. So
if you're a comedian and you're sitting there at Celebrity
Row and you happen to puke so much that you
delayed an NBA game, that is a made for comedy situation.
(32:24):
And Tracy Morgan, the honorary mayor of Barf City, congratulations
and the old technicolor yawn right there from Tracy Morgan.
And he got his wings, and he got his wings.
He is in the cockpit of the vomit comet and
all that stuff. You know, you reminded me of Donovan
McNabb and.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
The Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
If you remember that name, Donovan McNabb, he famously puked
during the Super Bowl. It's a hot day in Jacksonville
against the Patriots, and he puked all over the place.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Here we go, it's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
To the third degree.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
This is one big fan gets grilled Cobolo.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So the thunder have a wide lead in the Western Conference,
but the second seed in the seventh seed are only
separated by three and a half games, Ben, Who do
you think are the true contenders to win the West?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
All Right?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So I'm not gonna discount Oklahoma City. I would be
surprising if they make it. But even though they've got
their rate record, because they're gonna be battling the officials.
But I got the Nuggets, Oklahoma City, and Golden State.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
One of those.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Three teams will end up winning the rest. I don't
trust Houston. There's a lot of these other things. I
don't trust. Lakers don't have enough depth next.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
This season's NBA rookie class hasn't exactly been groundbreaking.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They suck.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
However, some are starting to think that the number two
overall pick Alex Sar is finally starting to show a
franchise player type potential, and with it has come signs
of life from the Wizards. But do you think Wizards
fans can maybe start to get excited about the future.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
No, the team is irrelevant. All these games are meaningless.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
They've played a little bit better since they got Chris
Middleton from the Milwaukee Bucks. But they have the worst
record in the Eastern Conference and I think the second
worst record in the NBA. So it's like meaningless basketball.
And no, you're putting up some individual stats, but they're
not winning numbers. So there's no, no, no, no, no, no,
(34:30):
next next.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that having only
been to the playoffs once in his career has been disappointing.
But he's keeping an eye on what the Cardinals have
been doing in free agency and he thinks they're headed
in the right direction. Yeah, Ben, are they headed in
the right direction? Well, they're heading towards another season, coop.
So every year there's another season, No the Cardinals. What's
gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
This year, there'll be another mediocre Cardinal team, They'll win
six to seven games, something along those lines, will fire
the coach, and then they'll talk about trading Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
How do we know you failed this to this? Shap
Lakers true contenders? Who are you are? Such a fan boy?
What a fanboy? Pathetic? Pathetic? Pathetic.

Oh my god, they're playing the first game with the

in the west six and the oh so bat Screw
(02:08):
all of you, I hate all of you. Welcome to
my world, settle in Bukaroo. This is just a normal
day for us, just a normal, normal night.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
That's it. So we had a lot to get to
and I learned my lesson.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
We attempted to talk some hot college basketball in a
previous episode of the show. We literally had to turn
the transmitters back on. We had to turn the transmitters
back on the we just knows no one left, and
it was it was warning.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
There was like a light flashing, woooo what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So we are going to go back to the thing
that keeps the lights on here at the mighty powerful
Fox Sports Radio Studios, here in the Premiere Networks building
at the iHeart Building, which is in a different building.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But our lead this hour is from the neighborhood, from
the neighborhood, mister Rogers neighborhood. I'm convinced that mister Rogers
has ulterior motives here that Aaron Rodgers' goal, all right,
his goal here is to just make sure that we
have fresh content on sports media radio television, because we
(03:17):
have a status update, a status update on Aaron Rodgers.
If you've not been paying attention here, you've been distracted
by some other shiny object. Aaron Rodgers is in the
ballot booth. He's got the ballot in front of him.
It's got Steelers on the line right there. Below it's
got the Giants, then it's got the Vikings with a
(03:39):
question mark, and then at the very bottom it says
none of the above. And so Rogers is in the
voting booth and he's an undecided voter, and he's just
decided that he doesn't want to decide. The decision is
I don't want to de side anything at this point.
(03:59):
And so his hands wobbling, and he's got the shivers,
he's got the flop sweat. He don't know what to
do now, State sponsored NFL Media, he propped the news
service in the National Football League tells us that the
decision conceivably will not happen until the NFL Draft, which is,
let me check my notes here, thirty seven days away,
(04:21):
so over a month away. Then you might remember a
couple of years back when Aaron Rodgers was debating where
he was going to end up, and he was with
the Green Bay Packers, and it was around the draft,
if I remember correctly, when Rogers got off the toilet
and finally decided to go live in the toilet, which
is the Jets building there in New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So we've got some time here.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
If that's act, of course, you'll get that report today tomorrow,
there'll be a report that Rogers wants to decide by
this weekend because there's a comic book festival somewhere he
wants to go to. So let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel, which you are part of the.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Chatter that Aaron Rogers free ag decision.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The decision of Rogers could not come until the NFL Draft,
which is in late April, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Drummer FB express train and telemarketer, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make some jumbalaya, is what we're gonna make. Not that
Aaron Rodgers has ever eaten jumbalaya, I don't think he has.
But we're just gonna make some jumbali. So a my
first thought on the Rogers thing, to answer the question,
(05:40):
is it a believe it or not situation?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, I am a believer in this one.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I believe believe is in the cards at this point,
because initially it was like, well, Roger's going to sign
in the next forty eight hours. There was that report,
and then that didn't happen, and then there were the
tabloid photos of Rogers meandering around the beach in Male
Boo and contemplating the time space continuum as he wandered
around there. But Rogers, one thing's for sure, he is
(06:08):
not going to be bullied. You're not gonna bully Adam
Schefter Aaron Rodgers into making a decision.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He marches to the beat of his own drummer, and
his own drummer, who knows that drummer might be named
Joe Rogan or you know, somebody in the Trump administry.
I don't know, I have no idea, but Rogers will
not conform to what normal football decorum is. Right, the
popular societal norms in the NFL is that you sign rapidly.
(06:39):
And because because you've got a bottleneck here, you got
other suckbag quarterbacks that are like, what about us? What
about us? You know, like the Russell Wilson's out there,
what about me? You got Kirk Cousins in Atlanta who
we traded at some point here, and so they're like, hey,
we sucked too, but we want to go to different teams?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What about us?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And Rogers is at the front, and what you can't
the whole road's blocked. Rogers is blocking the whole road
at this particular point. But he's in his canoe and
he paddles his own canoe, and he's just gonna paddle
la la la la, la la la. I'm paddling my
own canoe, just like that. That sound of him paddling
his own canoe, refusing to follow the crowd, And Rogers figures,
(07:23):
if you really want him, you're gonna wait for it. Yeah,
you're gonna wait for him, And ergo. You know what
that means, Rogers wants to enjoy his downtime. See the
way I'm reading this, the longer that Rogers is just
floating in the wind like a tin can and a hurricane,
just floating in the wind there, and he can do
(07:45):
what every once. He can walk around the beaches of Malibu,
he can travel to the four corners of the planet.
It doesn't matter right the moment he signs a deal,
the moment Rogers agrees to a contract with the Steelers,
the Giant, it's the Vikings or Mystery Team, my favorite,
the Mystery Team. The moment Dad happens. You know what
(08:06):
that means Rogers will then be expected to attend team functions,
to be a leader, to not travel to Egypt when
there's many camps going on. And so the longer he
doesn't agree to a contract, the further he kicks it back,
the more time he can do whatever he wants, and
no one will criticize Rogers because he hasn't signed a contract,
(08:29):
and it's as long as he drags it out. He
can go hang out with Joe Rogan and Austin and
do the podcast. He can travel to tim Buck too,
and he will go anywhere. It doesn't matter, right, And
as the world turns now, speaking of as the world turns,
one of our favorite quarterbacks who loves crab legs, famous
(08:50):
Jameis Winston is set to meet later on hours from
now with the New York Football Giants, we are told,
And so Jameis Winston, famous Jamis who played with Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Not well, not well with Cleveland, then was a.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Commentator for Fox during the Super Bowl coverage. And now
Jameis Winston is going to meet with the New York
Giants and free agency? Is that something or nothing? So
I have I jotted down on my my chicken scratch.
I dritted it down something and I'm pulling for Jamis Winston.
(09:29):
If you're gonna get a mediocre to bad quarterback, if
you're the Giants, you might as well go down this road.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
In fact, I will rubber stamp the malor rubber stamp
of approval for Jameis Winston. That means a lot, it does.
It means send that out on social media, That means
a lot. That is the contingency plan for the Giants,
the lesser of not two, the lesser of three evils,
(09:57):
because if you take the temperature in the room. He's
pretty obvious. Aaron Rodgers isn't all that interested in playing
for the Giants. Does anyone disagree with that? I don't
see any hands raised, So he's not interested in playing
for the Giants.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So you look.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Around and you're like the bronze winner in that it's
the Steelers, Vikings or retirement, and then the Giants and
the other options. You got Russell Wilson, who's absolutely cooked
at this particular point, and Kirk Cousins, whoopee dam doo.
(10:33):
Those are your options, Dollsville, Doulsville. So Jameis Winston is
the antithesis of that.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm not sitting here and telling you behind the microphones
of FSR that Jameis Winston's good.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I don't believe he is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But what he is is more importantly, He's on the
train what I call the FB Express train, the fun
bad Express train. And I want fun bad. I love
fun bad. Who doesn't enjoy fun bad? Fun bad is great.
I live for fun bad. If you're gonna be bad,
(11:06):
at least be fun. Don't be bad boring, be fun bad.
And that's Jameis Winston. He's mesmerizing he's charismatic off the field,
he says, goofy things. He's fun, just a fun loving
guy and all that. He's a high risk, high reward
situation a quarterback. There one man band, it says in
(11:27):
the Bible Jamith Gibbeth and Jamith take it away. That
involves throwing interceptions and pick sixes and all that. And
it's fun. For every two interceptions that Jameis Winston throws,
he'll throw like a touchdown. For every two touchdowns four interceptions,
it's it's fascinating to.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Watch him play.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And also, don't forget if he does go Jameis Winston
to the Giants, that would mean that Sekwon Barkley. His
stretch of hits continues because remember at the Super Bowl
media event, which used to be Media Day before its
commercialized by the NFL and they ruined it. But at
that event, Jameis Winston interviewed Saquon Barkley called NFL opening
(12:07):
that would have dope named. They came up with it
and they sold tickets or where other people go. But
Barkley was asked by Winston, hey, where should I go?
And kind of sarcastically, Saquon Barkley said, well, I hear
that New York the Giants need a quarterback, and sure enough,
later today Jameis Winston will meet with the team that
fired Saquon Barkley and allowed him to go to Philadelphia
(12:29):
and lead the Egos to the Super Bowl. Not last word,
a regular punching bag, not a full size punching bag,
A little punching bag on this show, Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Now, Kyler Murray quote when viral.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Several of you sent this to me, and I thank
you for that because I don't have to really pay
attention to Kyler Murray news because.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You idiots send me the stores not really on my radar.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Things that small don't show up on my radar, and
so I normally just don't pay attention. But you guys
always let me know when there's something out there about Kyler.
So Kyler Murray said recently, the Cardinals are not far
at all. That's the quinet we have the quote, right,
not far at all, Kyler Murray said, the Cardinals are
not far at all from the Super Bowl. So what
(13:15):
is your response?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So my response is, I think it's the what they
do in the cartoons. They yawn, and they stretch right,
you yawn and you kind of you stretch your arms out,
you and then you stretch your arms out like that.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I think that's my response.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I believe that is Now technically he's not wrong, because
the super Bowl next year will be played in Northern California,
and I believe it's about an hour fifteen minutes or so,
maybe a little longer than that from Sky Harbor Airport
to the airport closest to the forty nine ers Stadium.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Maybe a little longer, give or take. So it's not
that far.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're not that far away from flying into Northern California
from Arizona where the super Bowl will be played. But
Kyler Murray, I give the guy credit because I knew.
I knew right away this guy was phony and he's
been able to bamboozle the dumb dums in Arizona all
these years, six years into his NFL sojourn, and the
(14:11):
only thing he's an All pro at his video games.
It's fascinating, and yet it continues and there's really no
end in sight. There were some rumors that Murray will
be traded, but got to find another sucker to take
Kyler Murray on, but alligator arms Murray and he says, hey,
the Cardinals are not that far away from the super Bowl.
Of course, if you put your record and my record together,
(14:35):
Kyler Murray and you and me combined, we have the
same number of playoff wins. That would be zero zip zilch,
not a bupkis any other way you want to phrase that,
no playoff wins. The one playoff game he played in,
he was absolutely overwhelmed over like a kid trying to
(14:56):
sit at the grown ups table against the Rams in
that playoff game.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Remember that days look on the bench like what am
I doing here? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
But Kyler is a fifty to fifty player. He's a
fifty to fifty player. He's fine for half the season.
Because of his domeanon of size, or just the video
game addiction that he has, he's unable to perform at
a high level in the second that. It's not my opinion,
it's a fact, and the numbers back that up and
my supporting evidence for those of you questioning my analysis
(15:25):
of Kyler Murray, the eyeballs and the stats back up
that argument.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
To Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Twenty two and seventeen record with a good touchdown interception
numbers in September and October, so that's half the season,
play four games a month about and so it's halfway
through the season. Then in the dates after that, November
and December and a little bit of January, Kyler Murray
as a record which is, I believe fourteen games under
(15:52):
five hundred and terrible touchdown interception numbers and just dreadful,
just absolute from Kyler Murray past that point. And so
Kyler Murray saying, hey, we're not that far away from
the super Bowl. It's like reading off a telemarketers script
and he's like, yeah, hey, cold calling you and I'm
(16:14):
gonna make your life better.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Blah blah blah blah. That's a stock answer.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's going to sportscliche dot com, rip and read knock
yourself out. Kyler Murray has a much better chance of
winning one of these video game tournaments than he does
winning a super Bowl. Even getting to a Super Bowl,
it's not gonna happen. Cardinals with Kyler Murray are a
roster that is led by their quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
It's soft and creamy. It's a soft and creamy roster.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So our lead this hour, our lead this hour is
from pro bouncy ball, not college basketball.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Pro bouncyball.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
College basketball does not begin until later on, so we
can talk about the pro game and why not? Why
not because the story of stories here and it's been
bouncing around.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's like a boomerang.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The story started a couple of weeks ago, it died out,
and it's come back around. It's like a Haley's Comments story.
It bounced back. So as we inch closer to the
end of the regular season in the en b a
as I've often pointed out, the better story is in
the losing locker room, and that locker room we're going
to focus on right now would be the Grand Canyon
(17:37):
State that is the home of one pro bouncy ball team.
They call themselves the Suns, but they haven't been very
bright so far this season. If you've not been paying attention. Now,
a lot of chatter, and I love chatter. I'm in
the chatter business. So there's been a lot of chatter
that the Phoenix Pro basketball team is considering handing the
guillotine to their head coach, Mike Budenhoe, who had gotten
(18:02):
it done in Milwaukee a couple of years ago and
has been relatively successful as a head coach in the
different places that he's been. He's a journeyman head coach,
and that he's going to get the old guillotine as
a way to please kd and Devin Booker, who are
said to be grumbling, rumbling and grumbling and stumbling. Now,
(18:24):
despite the very high expectations, the anticipation with Bradley Beal,
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant that the Suns were going
to reign supreme over the NBA, well, obviously that hasn't happened.
They are not only a basketball team. They suck ah many.
It's just a miserable season. So let us discuss the
(18:45):
question with all the buzz, the buzz that the Sons
could fire Mike Budenholzer their coach in the offseason to
appease Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Is this yes, no
or maybe so? Situation? So I have medallion, seagull and
(19:09):
honorary mayor and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a cactus, and
we're going to sit on the cactus, which is more
enjoyable than watching the Phoenix Suns play basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
So the answer n barr.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He said nam bar number one. So the answer is
maybe so. Now my answer is no. But the real
answer we deal in the real world, not the fake world.
We do the real heavy lifting here in overnight sports
radio and in the real world where I talk in
the answer is maybe so. It should be no. Mike
(19:49):
Budenholzer is not the issue. Is he the greatest coach
on God's green Earth?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
No? Is he the worst coach? No? He's all right.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He's a serviceable head coach in the NBA. He's not
the reason the blow chunks. That's not why. And and
I understand coaches are like disposable razors, easily replaceable, easily.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Replaced by I get that.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Nevertheless, the Phoenix Suns have made it a regular occurrence
to get rid of coach. It is a revolving door situation.
And they've had instability and ownership. They've kept getting rid
of coaches. But you certainly don't get rid of a
coach if the reporting is accurate. They're saying well, slim
Reaper's not happy.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
What d damn do? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
If you do that, if you're getting rid of the
coach to make Kevin Durant happy, you might as well
keep the coach. Because Kevin Durant, if you look at
his resume as a as a great player in the NBA,
he also wears this gold chain. And on that gold chain,
the very end of that gold chain wrapped around his neck,
there you have the medallion. And on that medallion is
(20:56):
a piece of kryptonite. And his kryptonite is the coach.
If you go through the coaches that Kevin Durant has
played for over the recent stretch of his career, has
We've got Steve nash on there, Monty Williams, Mike Budenhozer,
and the beat goes.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
On and on and on and on.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And KD always gets a mulligan. He always escapes the blame.
It's it's well, it's not his fault, it's you know,
this guy's fault. But the finger of blame goes to
the coach.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But yet the.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Common denominator in all of those situations is Kevin Durant,
mister all everything and all that, and the Sons have this.
From my perspective, having watched a few of the Suns
games this year, they have this highly contagious situation. Venomous.
It's a venomous situation. It's an infectious disease. It is
(21:48):
my diagnosis. The Sons are suffering from IDGAF. I don't
give a f. Now, it doesn't matter whether you are
a pro bouncy ball player, whether you're a talk to
your host, whether you're a trash man, a security guard.
If you suffer from this contagious disease at whatever you
(22:10):
do in life, whatever your life's work is, and you
suffer from I don't give an f.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You're going to be bad.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
At your job. That's just the reality of the situation.
And listen, I worked with a lot of people over
the years in this business. They don't They just don't
put the work in and it shows. And in pro
bouncy ball, there are things there that really really.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Make you look just horrific.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
If you have the disease of I, I don't give
an f. Yeah, it's it's not good, right. And you
look at the core of the Suns, the superstars who
are all making big time money. They've made big time
money for a long time. They don't do a lot
of those hustle plays. They don't draw a lot of charges.
(22:58):
There's not a lot of deflections on d because that
takes effort, and if you have I don't give an
f you don't do a lot of that. They don't
recover a lot of loose balls because again that's an
effort play. So you do the bare minimum and you
just look terrible. And it's those little things within the
margins that separate you from being good and reaching your
(23:20):
full level of ability and not reaching your full level ability.
And last I checked, I might be wrong with this.
I don't believe this is aau ball like no coach
is going to be able to motivate you at the
professional level. That's not it's not raw raw stuff. That's
not how how it works if you don't have the
inner fire, because again you're suffering from a I id
(23:42):
GF g AF almost said it. Uh, then then you
got problems and it doesn't matter all right now page two,
So we have grumbling out of big deed. Did you
see this, PJ.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Washington? That's a pro bouncy ball player, but people PJ.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Washington says, that the the Mavericks players are sick and tired.
They're sick and tired of the Maverick fan base chanting.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Fier niko, fier.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Nko, just like that.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's been NonStop since it wasn't a trade that Mavericks
just decided to hand Luka Donsik to the Lakers and
said here, you're gonna have them, and so ever since then,
it's been a constant undercurrent of fire Nico Homeman road.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And so finally PJ.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Washington snapped, He confronted someone says tired, you know, sick
and tire.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
The whole team is of this.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So question for the esteem panel, do you have empathy
for the plight of PJ Washington and the Dallas Mavericks
players who are complaining about the constant soundtrack of their
season being fire Nico, do you have empathy? So I'll
go first. I'm shaking my head. No, I do not
(25:03):
have any empathy here. We're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Here. This is actually a felony. This is a felon.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It is not a Misdemeanor's a felony, and it is
an absolute dereliction of duties and it is completely justified
by the Dallas Maverick supporters, and if it didn't happen,
that would be a problem. Now, in the big picture,
if you look around here, it's actually a good thing.
I'll explain why in a second. But what happened with
(25:32):
Nico Harrison is the what I call the sea goal approach.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Now, what is the sea goal approach?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
The seagull approach is Nico Harrison swooped in and actually
made things worse. Now, a lot of bosses do that.
I've had some over the years that have done the
same thing. They make a situation that is not great
and they come in there with their wisdom and somehow
eff it up even more. And that's what Nico Harrison did.
(26:00):
He also allowed the ownership signed off on it. So
it's on multiple levels. No, you say, Nico Harrison traded them,
but you don't trade you your franchise player without ownership saying.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Okay, seems like a good idea. Why not.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I still believe some of the conspiracy stuff will come out,
whether it was the League office for television, whether it
was the ownership of the Mavericks trying to sandbag the
franchise to move to the Vegas. I tend to believe
that some of that stuff is true. It'll come out
at some point, somebody to write a book. It'll all
come out down the line. But the Maverick players are
(26:33):
caught in the crossfire. It's collateral damage from the seagull
approach of Nico Harrison and the ownership there. But it's
actually good in the big picture. And here's why. Let
me make my elevator pitch. Why it's good. Having worked
around the sports game and talk to enough people in
the business over the years, the fact that the Maverick
fan base is up in arms and they've got their
(26:57):
pitchforks and their torches out, and they're doing mock.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Funerals and the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That is a good thing because it's a passion play
and you want that because you care.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It matters.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Right, You're in Dallas listening to me right now, and
you're hurt by the fact the team's gonna suck for
the next ten years of your life because of this
trade and not a giveaway, not a trade, and so
you're bothered by that.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
It means something to you.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And the moment that becomes a bigger problem is when
people stop caring, and that's when the dreaded a word
takes over.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Apathy. That is the death of professional sports. Apathy.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
People don't care. And when apathy sets in, you might
as well bring back Dick Mata, who I think is
still alive. By the way, he's got to be in
his nineties. Guy, I mean gott to be in his
night Dick Matta, who's got coached me. I was like
a teenager covering the NBA and Dick Motta was coaching
in the NBA and he was really f and old.
And now I'm getting old, so he's got to be old.
(28:00):
And you know, bring back like pop Eye Jones and
Lucius Harris and some of those great iconic Maverick players
of the nineties and bring them back all right now,
final point. So we had a viral moment at the
Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Midtown Manhattan. Now I
happen to be watching this game because it was the
only game in the early television window and I like
(28:21):
to have a game on. I couldn't find a baseball game.
Not a lot of spring training TV broadcast this year,
and of course the regular season is starting in a
couple hours from now in Tokyo, so I was watching
the Knicks in the heat. I was settling in and
of course I saw our friend of the show, Kenny Albert,
the filled in play by play guy the Knicks, So
I was happy to see Kenny Albert. And then I
saw Walt Clyde Fraser and Walt Fraser had I was
(28:45):
watching the MSG feed and Walt Fraser had this ridiculous
Saint Patti's Day outfitter. Nobody dresses as debonair as Walt Fraser,
so it was great. It was great seeing that. And
so I'm watching the game and early on the Heat
played pretty well in the first half, and then at
some point right after halftime, the Heat realized where the
Miami Heat, and we're not good, and then they sucked
(29:08):
and they were terrible from.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
That by floor.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But there was a moment where the game was delayed
and they didn't really say what had happened. They said
there was a medical situation on the court, and they
didn't say what had happened, and I didn't really pay
much attention to it, and then I started getting these
messages on my phone.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Did you hear what happened? Well, I'm watching the game, and.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
He says some medical situation, but you know, I didn't
really see what happened. And so it turns out that
comedian Tracy Morgan caused about a ten to fifteen minute
to lay in an NBA game on Monday night because
Tracy Morgan upchucked. He rode the vomit comet all over
(29:48):
the floor right at mid court, sitting in that celebrity
row at Madison Square Garden, and there was a viral photo.
You talk about art in photography, Ansel Adams has nothing
on whoever took this photo of the man the myth,
the legend, Tracy Morgan at the point of explosion, when
(30:09):
he is leaning over and he is vomiting, the stream
of yellow goo coming out of the man's mouth, and
it was captured right in the act. It's like the
Zebruder film. It's unbelievable the artwork that is in.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
That particular photo. And check it out.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Even Blind Scott's impressed by that. And Incoad Terror and
Blind Emmett, there was so much puke that came out
of this guy's stomach. Then there was literally the pavement
pizzas some people call it was all over the place
that it actually splashed and cascaded onto the court. If
you can imagine, it was like the Great flood of
(30:55):
Madison Square Garden and on the playing floor. The game
was halted for several minutes. I estimated ten to fifteen minutes.
There were a bunch of people trying to clean it up.
So you had people it was like a Vaudvillian act.
You had people trying to clean up the puke. You
also had other people trying to attend to Tracy Morgan,
(31:16):
and he's in his mid fifties. He vomited so much
as nose started bleeding and he was taken away and
in some social media critics or upset that people were
having an absolute field day with this particular story. It's
not every day that a well known celebrity delays an
NBA game. It just happens to be, I don't know,
(31:38):
on Saint Patrick's day where the guy puked all over
the court. And so I asked the question, goofing on
Tracy Morgan and his reversal of fortune at the Knickerbocker
game with the Miami Heat, is that fair or foul?
So after a booth review, we have determined it is
(31:59):
a fair ball. It is a fair ball to me.
This is not this deep. It's not that deep. Tracy Morgan,
last I checked, is a comedian. This is the kind
of stuff that Tracy Morgan would tell jokes about. So
if you're a comedian and you're sitting there at Celebrity
Row and you happen to puke so much that you
delayed an NBA game, that is a made for comedy situation.
(32:24):
And Tracy Morgan, the honorary mayor of Barf City, congratulations
and the old technicolor yawn right there from Tracy Morgan.
And he got his wings, and he got his wings.
He is in the cockpit of the vomit comet and
all that stuff. You know, you reminded me of Donovan
McNabb and.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
The Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
If you remember that name, Donovan McNabb, he famously puked
during the Super Bowl. It's a hot day in Jacksonville
against the Patriots, and he puked all over the place.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Here we go, it's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
To the third degree.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
This is one big fan gets grilled Cobolo.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So the thunder have a wide lead in the Western Conference,
but the second seed in the seventh seed are only
separated by three and a half games, Ben, Who do
you think are the true contenders to win the West?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
All Right?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So I'm not gonna discount Oklahoma City. I would be
surprising if they make it. But even though they've got
their rate record, because they're gonna be battling the officials.
But I got the Nuggets, Oklahoma City, and Golden State.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
One of those.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Three teams will end up winning the rest. I don't
trust Houston. There's a lot of these other things. I
don't trust. Lakers don't have enough depth next.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
This season's NBA rookie class hasn't exactly been groundbreaking.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They suck.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
However, some are starting to think that the number two
overall pick Alex Sar is finally starting to show a
franchise player type potential, and with it has come signs
of life from the Wizards. But do you think Wizards
fans can maybe start to get excited about the future.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
No, the team is irrelevant. All these games are meaningless.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
They've played a little bit better since they got Chris
Middleton from the Milwaukee Bucks. But they have the worst
record in the Eastern Conference and I think the second
worst record in the NBA. So it's like meaningless basketball.
And no, you're putting up some individual stats, but they're
not winning numbers. So there's no, no, no, no, no, no,
(34:30):
next next.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that having only
been to the playoffs once in his career has been disappointing.
But he's keeping an eye on what the Cardinals have
been doing in free agency and he thinks they're headed
in the right direction. Yeah, Ben, are they headed in
the right direction? Well, they're heading towards another season, coop.
So every year there's another season, No the Cardinals. What's
gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
This year, there'll be another mediocre Cardinal team, They'll win
six to seven games, something along those lines, will fire
the coach, and then they'll talk about trading Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
How do we know you failed this to this? Shap
Lakers true contenders? Who are you are? Such a fan boy?
What a fanboy? Pathetic? Pathetic? Pathetic.
