hour play the hit small Man, one of our old bosses.
Just say plan heads, mom man, I we'll put the hits.
So we go deep in the heart of Texas Jerry's world.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
How about him? Cowboy who? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the
NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw
former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A
was hanging out with Jerry.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
In the box.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
What's in the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway,
So Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride
was the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the
tight end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to
the Cowboys crib. We'll match up there Jerry Jones' favorite
NFL team, and it was on an island game. An
(02:46):
island game. He had Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on
the call.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Did you watch? Were you checking this game? I know,
maybe not.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We'll back up quarterback Jacoby Brissett and he wasn't supposed
to play in this game at the beginning of the week.
It was gonna be Kyler, sorry, but the old switcher route,
and so Bersett was in there. He threw not one
but two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler
Alligator Arms Murray could not play a little fella had
a small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals
(03:18):
a domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in
this game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they
get to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had
a five game skid, a route that came to an end.
There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,
(03:41):
A very very comfortable win for the team from the
Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been
a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in
his brief NFL career. He had a breakout game, big
first half. The stat line was big first half. Those
seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There was
(04:04):
one play where he scored in the end zone the
touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of the
Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and Jacoby
Brissett though the headliner here he made the third consecutive
start there for the Cardinals. They get their third win
of the year, and they win for just the second time.
The stats been going around the second time in eighteen
(04:26):
games without the little fella alligator arms Murray, the fun
sized quarterback.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
And so the.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Better story, though, is in the losing locker room. The
better stories in the losing locker room. The Cowboys were
not ready to play. Does anyone disagree with that statement?
The Cowboys were not ready to play. I don't see
anyone raising their hands, so no one disagrees. Good good
job by you not disagreeing. So they weren't ready. They
were shut out in the first quarter. They had a
promising drive that went could put to start the game
(04:55):
and then that was it fumbled by Mike count four times,
lost a couple of those fumbles, Dak Prescott in a
helter skelter comeback situation, had an interception, but didn't play
all that well, did not play all that well. Just
a bad mess of a game for the Dallas Cowboys.
They're in the better story on the losing side. So
that is where we will begin a good jumping off point.
(05:18):
So let us discuss the question, what does this performance
with all eyes of the football world on it, what
does this performance say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shannie and his
coaching run with the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this,
I've got Slurpye, media, mafia, and hot pocket, and we
(05:43):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to pig.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So my first thought on this A let's start with
when you take a look down. You get in the
black Hole helicopter, not black Hawk down the black Hawk helicopter,
and you go up in the sky and you look.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Down and you look around, look at the landscape there.
What do you see?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong
about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same
old Cowboys that's what I see, all right, same old,
over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George
Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get
back in the game, but he's trying to get style points. Man,
you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what that was.
(06:35):
Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the epitome of
the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's a glorified
seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting, and he's
house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's fat ass
who got let go last year. And so it's all
just a placeholder, is what it is for the Dallas Cowboys.
(06:57):
I mean, the main problem is the defense of For
some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
But we'll play it because we have it. Here we go.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
We got to play better offensively. We're better than ten points,
which is all we scored. Great job by Sam on
the punt and block special teams, but for us to
score ten points offensively is not the standard, and no
one's happy about that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, Well, the people that better on the Cardinals are
very happy about that. So I don't know that no
one's happy about that. But you look at the Cardinals
and they're not evolving. This is mid season in the NFL.
We're now done with Week nine. They only play seventeen,
so it's actually a little bit past mid season there.
There's no actual mid season. Eight and a half weeks
would be mid season. So the Cardinals and Cowboys played
(07:40):
the midway point as much as you can say. I
know some teams have had buys or whatever, so they're
just existing that Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I every week, it's every game, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The five o'clock follies, blown coverages to the right, mistackles
to the left, stupid penalties in the air, everywhere. That's
the Dallas. You can practically hear the circus music in
the background when you watch them try to tackle. It
is fascinating how much they suck on defense for a
team that supposedly practices. And everyone was talking up Matt Eberflus,
(08:13):
the defensive coordinator who cut his chops in Indianapolis as
the Colts defensive coordinator, got a good reputation and he's
been living on that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Got the Bears job.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Sucked in Chicago goes to Dallas, blows in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.
We get that job too. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The defense, in particular, they build as America's team, the
Dallas Cowboys. A big selling point there, the proprietary blent.
We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of
the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in
the day.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Legendary defenses in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The Dallas Cowboys defense is the seven to eleven defense.
It's the seven eleven defense because these guys look like
they should be working the night shift at a seven
eleven the way they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense.
There just arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and
you look around, it's like would you like a slurp?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Bee, sir?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misdassignment?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
My god? And so yet oh boo.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The Cowboys traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently
they don't have to hustle, they don't have to tackle
because the Jerry Jones traded Michael Burton. So that is
the ultimate. Okay, we blow, let's not try to get better?
Excuse and then am I correct on?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
That?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying
to find some glory.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Whole, but the cowboy I get that they traded Michael Parsons.
It's a team game. You put the collective unit together.
If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.
And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin
in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.
It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the
sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions
and not well, not hustle on certain plays and all that.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
My god, there's no rallying again.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles
and arm tackling and all that stuff. It's like a
garage seal out there. Jacoby Frickin Brissett sliced you up.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged
eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
That to you? Where'd he hurt you? Everywhere?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He hurts you everywhere? Two passing touchdowns one on the ground.
Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's at night. Here, Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's
bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys
are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice logos.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
On their helmet.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
They have good, good logos there, and they do look
marvel Is getting off the bus. Don't they look good?
Those uniforms, man, they look solid. Now when they actually play.
It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked. What happened to that
MVP campaign for Dak Prescott? It's in a ditch on
the side of the road.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,
riding the vomit comet tigles.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
So frustrating because I'm not just going to accept that, oh,
this team is inconsistent. This team is just up and
down like we're going to be as long as we
ride the wave of you know, the media and you
know the media and the media game to the next
and not putting the blame on you guys. But you know,
we want to game and we feel really good about ourselves.
And you think you're just going to go in the
next next week and smack that opponent.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And you don't.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Then you know, you feel at upset and you look
in the mirror and you come back and you give
give a better performance. You know, that's what's been happening
this year other than tonight. And so when you've put
two bad games or two ugly losses back to back,
you gotta find answers.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
We know the answers. You suck, Your team sucks. That's it.
You're never going You're you're the definition of blah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Cowboys will win seven games or eight games or something
along those lines, they'll finish around five hundred, and they're
not making the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Playoffs.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's how happened. Yeah, on the Arizona side of things,
everyone's been yapping. We'll frame the question this way. One's
been yappening here. Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe
Buck said they expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with
quarterback Jacoby Brissett that seems like kind of a big deal,
and not go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both
(12:33):
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman going on the record that
they believe Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has
been demoted, that he has been put in the doghouse
in favor of Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Is this something or is this nothing?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So at first glance you say, well, who cares what
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
They're just a couple of media hacks.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You don't know anything like That's what the low information
fan would say. I'm telling you right now, it's something.
I'm telling you. It's something here. They're not hot take guys.
Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys. They're well
compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees. They
ran off to ESPN to get the big pile of money.
(13:20):
They're the free agency. Good for them, Good for them.
But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not dabble in
the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not what they
do here. They are made men. Joe Buck and Troy
Aikman are made men. They are They're in the elite
(13:41):
NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia and
you're a made man in the media mafia. You don't
speak out of class. You don't do it. You cannot
do it because they'll whack you.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
They will whack you.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
And so what I'm imagining happened here, just based on
connecting the dots, is that they are simply regurgitating Buck
and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.
They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,
and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there,
(14:13):
lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated
play sheet in the other. You sit around a round
table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,
that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,
they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly
a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.
(14:35):
You've got that going there, and they just start talking
and they just start chirping. And you don't have to
be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some
kind of guru here. You can just simply read between
the lines on this and inside that building. Kyler Murray's
the guy you want at the controls. If you're trying
(14:57):
to win a Call of Duty tournament, that is the
guy you want. There's no one else on the Cardinals
you would want out there other than Kyler Murray. You
give him the joystick and you get out of the way.
You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,
that's what your doubt. Now if you actually want to
win football games, that's something of you. But now again,
Call of Duty tournament thumbs of blazing there for Kyler
(15:19):
Head said on NFL Team No, no, you knew right away.
This is one of the rare deals where the team
signed the player to the extension and immediately had buyer's remorse.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we
do that?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You knew they signed the wrong player when they had
to put a clause in there to actually do your
job and watch film, and then they had to take
it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called
out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there,
So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not
very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and
(15:57):
I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of
mole and warts. Jacoby Brissett. You're not going to go
anywhere with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not
that great. He's been around a lot of miles on
the odometer for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up
on time, and he knows the offense, he can command
the huddle, all that stuff, and he does not need
(16:19):
juice boxes in between a series of offense. In practice, they
don't need to give him a juice box and some
orange slices.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He's okay. So that's there. Is that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby
Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another
one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a
seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would
be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.
It's really difficult to get a great read on any
(16:51):
of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like
the some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For
some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I don't know why. They take the short bust there.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And so we're not gonna pretend this is some kind
of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't
think they were gonna play that well. I thought at
least the Cowboys offense would be able to do stuff
they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,
just to put the ball on this, so Aikman and
Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite media mafia
of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle,
(17:24):
all right, those top level guys. They get all the goodies,
all the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop
a nugget like that on national team. I don't think
that's random. I believe that is a dead giveaway.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
That's a tell. That is a tel.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The Cardinals are quietly moving off the Kyler Murray fantasy
and they're settling in to the mud with Jacoby Brissett
adult supervision until they get some other dabbroni next season. Now,
the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't it be wild if
the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray to trade him? Where
(17:59):
would they trade him? The Saints? Like that's the only
obvious destination at this point, Like the Saints are terrible,
worst team since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
They don't have a quarterback and they got money to burn.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Uh, they can move some numbers around, make make it
work if salary caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Back to that Cowboys. Back to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of
the opponent, in case this case Arizona low the Arizona
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a
State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the
money quote here, and he said a lot the one
that stood out to me that I'd like to share
with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like
our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to
(18:43):
our nuts and bolts though. Close quote from Jerry Jones.
So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when
he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
All right? So yeah, all right, nah? Using the mallar.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation, Jerry taking
time for a modest flex. Modest flex in front of
the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now, Jerry's not
blaming himself he's definitely not blaming himself on this. In fact,
(19:24):
he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list. He's like, man,
am I a great gm Look at the town, the
nuts and bolts.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That's me. I did that. I did that.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
That's my team. I put that team together. He's essentially saying, Hey,
I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen. These are such
great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook. I know I
hired him too, but he can't cook with my delicious ingredients.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon
hat and looking for gloryhole.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.
It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle, oil,
all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings
and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen
for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what
comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is
(20:24):
collapsing on a weekly basis there and it's burning in
the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach, there is arguing
with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's
not burning, it's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would
not burn this food at all. And it's a classic
Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM
(20:46):
and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're
just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me.
No no no, they're underachievers. But not because of Mete No, no,
no no. Jerry loves the nuts and the She loves
the nuts and the ball. She just putting an actual
winning football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though,
(21:07):
is there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem.
You got a bad contractor. They don't know what they're doing.

(24:02):
over the weekend. Why would you talk baseball? What are
you stupid?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
No?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So the post mortem on the World Series here to
the winner goes a parade an a rally. You get
a parade and a rally. That's how that goes there.
So after winning Game seven in a l Classico in
Toronto the World Series, the Dodgers made their way back
(24:29):
in their luxury planes. They made their way back to
la and the Boys in Blue were serenaded with flowers
and songs.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
And they just everyone loved them.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
A cacophony of goodness for the Dodgers there as they
returned to the People's Republic of California for a big
celebration and a championship parade and rally for the ages.
So if you didn't watch any of this, why would
you if you're not a Dodger fan. I even I
find this a little annoying, but I did check some
of it out for talk show.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Reasons, for talk show reasons.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
And Dave Roberts, good old Dave, some of this stuff
was so corny. It was so oh so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Anyway, Dave Roberts tossed out a word and it involved
the number and a word, and it was kind of
the theme. You had sho Hel Tani deliver a speech
in English. He was not the only one who did that,
and the crowd went wild. They sold out crowd at
Dodger Stadium there. That concluded with Otani saying that he
(25:34):
was ready to get another ring, but Dave Roberts talking
about what the mission is now for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
I talked, you have to fail on the plane, and
he gave me the okay to use this phrase, pat Riley, let's.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Go to the too.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Okay, there you go. So how can the Dodgers three
people when they've already ruined baseball? I don't understand anyway,
So there you go. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping
off point. We'll talk about what Dave Roberts said there,
and the crowd went wild. So question, what did you
take away from the chatter that Dave Roberts? You threw
(26:23):
it out there, the Dodger chatter from Dave Roberts about
a three P all right, So I've got alphabet, pasta
atomic and tuna fish sandwich, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make your Babushka's
favorite buttered popcorn, the kind of buttered popcord your Babushka
just loves.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, I can't get enough of it. So number I said, number?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Why?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yes? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The Dodgers held this event was the word gods event, right,
we are the gods of baseball. It was that was
that kind of I love that Roberts worked in a
humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry Jones
humble bragging.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with
pat Riley.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at
this point. The younger generations don't even know who pat
Riley is, right, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Who that is.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I wasn't around for the showtime Lakers. That's a boomer.
You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you?
But the whole theme was that we are gods. We
are the gods of baseball. And it was like the
full Gladiator You know that famous scene from Gladiator?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
It was that kind of it. So the whole free
peat thing, like what are you supposed to say? Like
these things are always corny and over the top anytime
a team wins.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
A championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying,
let me tell you boys, we've won enough championship.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
My belly is full. I am from all the bling, bling.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Bloated, blooded, blooded blood, blooded blood, it blurred, it blowed
it blooded. All right, My belly is so frickin full,
I can't even anymore. No, you can't say that, right,
you meagine? Oh, I ate so much alphabet pasta, all
those ws w.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
W dob, I got no room left, no room left.
Can't win.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it,
You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that
you enjoyed the moment and just live in the moment.
None of those guys were living in the mallment. They
were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't
you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that
(28:44):
day and then you worry about next year at a
later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried
on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning
and planning their parade route or root for next year.
And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the
Harlem Globe trotters versus the Washington generals the way they're
(29:06):
playing here, and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion
dollar boy Boys Club and all that stuff. Then yet
we mentioned shoey Otani, who gave the crowd his I'm
ready for another ring line from O'tani. It was his
quote there. He said it in English, mind you, he
said it in English, and the fans of course lost
their mind Q the fireworks. There was then the choreographed
(29:30):
moment with Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophies.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So who did he call? Ice Cube?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
He brought in not an actual ice Cube, ice Cube,
the you know, the old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah,
I uh, not really a rapper anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
He's like a businessman anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the
Dodger World Series trophy from center field. Not planned at all,
very organic, moment just happened. It was very odd that
ice Cube just happened to be in his car with
the World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave
Roberts needed the trophy.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
What are the odds?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Like?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Ice Cube was just bored.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
He was driving around Dodger Stadium and he just happened
to be stopped out in center field at Dodger Stadium,
and at that moment he must have known that Dave
Roberts needed the trophy, so he say, okay, I'll drive
it in, no problem. And then security they opened the
gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a totally organic,
not scripted mallet at all, to drive it in. Simply amazing.
(30:26):
The fireworks went off, the muscle car came in there
and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn. That's
what it was, all of it, total fan porn, porn, porn, porn,
porn porn, that's what it was. The speech is everything choreographed,
all that stuff. We're a dynasty baby by Keith k Hernandez.
He's right, by the way, they are dynasty, and it's
(30:48):
this is you know what this is for the Dodgers.
It is the Gilded Age. It is the gilded age
for the Dodgers. At some point, this ownership group's going
to sell the team. Once they have to pay a
Tony's seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball,
whatever it is, they'll sell the team and some other
dope will come in and talk about well, we need
to reset the franchise, and well, we're gonna build through
the minor league system and the team will suck. But
(31:11):
until that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers.
Everyone's coddled, everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the
Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us
with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all
that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now
and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to
annoy everyone and sign somebody else.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
In free agency. Again, that's what they do. The Dodgers
are so good.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael
Conforto and he was one of them and Tanner Scott
the other, and still ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Still ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
There, and you know, they had the line, the greatest
fans in the world, all that stuff, and so you
had to say that line, right. That was Miguel Rojas.
I believe that was his line. I think he said
that he praised his teammate. It's not all about me,
that whole thing. So you had those and even the interpreters,
as mentioned these guys might be out of work here
(32:09):
because once you've exposed the fact that you speak English,
does it become a problem now, because those interpreters probably
make ninety thousand dollars a year to travel around.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
With these guys.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And you had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went
full English at the event, both of them. So there
you go. They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So
congratulations on that. And that's how the empire rolls on
in Dodger Blue. It was a coronation situation and a
(32:45):
reminder the Dodgers have become a modern If they were
a rock band, they'd be like the Beatles back in
the day. At this point, now, the rest of Major
League Baseball, if you look around the landscape of Major
League Baseball, they're just like an opening act, hoping, hoping,
beyond hope. Here to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah,
that kind of thing. Now, turning the page, but not
(33:07):
turning the page too far. Page two.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
TV Land. We go to TV Land, You and I and.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The question what do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings,
which were very good, very good, involving.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
The Dodgers in Blue Jays tell us.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
So the ratings came out, and turns out despite having
a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna be a
Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that good and
no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out that just
wasn't true. People watch and apparently the Dodgers. Of what
I took away from the TV ratings is apparently the
Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking talk about
(33:47):
a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball, said the
guy on social media that calls sports talk radio and
all that stuff. Twenty If I read this right, twenty
six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into Game
seven of the World Series. Now that's not just good.
That's massive in modern television. Bag in the old days
(34:09):
they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism
of entertainment where everything's chopped up into little, bite sized pieces,
you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games.
Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen.
You might remember that one the Dodgers were in that
World Series against the cheating astros. Yeah, bang bang on
(34:34):
the trash can cheat a cheata chea cheata cheatah cheeta. Meanwhile,
social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen,
everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that
is the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball.
You're running the Sparta baseball, the Dodgers, You're running it.
(34:56):
I thought Sho, Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed
to make you tune out.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
You told me that, that's what you told me.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You told me that people were not gonna watch because
of the Dodger payroll. Turns out America still loves watching
the rich kids. Now were they tuned in to watch
the Dodgers lose? It doesn't matter. They watched twenty six
million men, women and children tuned in to watch the
World Series. And that is not a niche sport. That
(35:27):
is an event, that is a massive event.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
And up in.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers they pulled
record ratings the channel that carried the World Series in Canada,
and they estimate that nearly half of all Canadians, almost
fifty percent of all Canadians that have access to television,
watched at least part of Game seven of the world.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Seriest Deep Pritt deep, pretty deep good. Half the fricking
country was watching.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Uh so so much for the Dodgers are bad for
baseball narrative. Oh it's so bad. The social media echo chamber.
A reminder for those of you in the back of
the room, the social media echo chamber is not real.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
It just isn't.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the
Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It
turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are
actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain.
And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling
or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at
(36:34):
the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy,
and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power.
Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot
of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports
of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
That's what I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Say, that who knew, who knew? The ratings, the villains,
the Dodgers, the big blue, bad guys. They got flash
and they got the finish and all that stuff. So
the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a little
bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem,
it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers.
It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget.
(37:13):
That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping
the lights on and they're actually the good guys here,
which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not
all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use
that as a jumping off point for our next next
conversation point.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
So there is this chatter.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I mentioned this in a previous episode of the show,
and there's a lot of chatter that we're gonna have
a nuclear winter in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage,
either be a lockout or a strike, and there's not
gonna be baseball playing. There's can be a long long time.
They're gonna reset all the rules in baseball. This has
been the art and the marching in Shouder society. Demanding
(37:53):
a salary cap has been outspoken. They've been banging the drum,
bang bang, bang in the drum yet again. And the
argument is that all we need is not just a
salary cap. We need a salary floor to encourage the
teams that don't spend a lot of money to spend
more money and that will be the magic placebo that
(38:14):
will fix everything in the sport of baseball. You might
have heard about that. Have you heard about that? I've
heard about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about
this for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the
Dodgers spending too much, they spend too much, in the
A's don't spend any money, and we need to have
more balanced than all that. So the question on this
one would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate?
(38:38):
In this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate
the penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more,
thus fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five
or six teams and everyone else in baseball.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
So this is one of those ideas. There's a lot
of this in life.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
As you get older, you realize there's things in life
that's sound like a good idea and it makes for
a good post on social media and you get a
lot of way to go, way to go, and then
it falls apart.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
In the real world.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
It's like there's a lot of people these days that
think they should get everything free, not realizing.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
That someone has to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Right. These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's
nothing free. Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our
friends in New York are probably going to find out
about that soon, that someone's going to be paying for it.
But nonetheless, you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins,
and the Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a
conscience and start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor.
(39:44):
Are you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are
you that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise
if you think that's the case here. They will just
find creative ways to f around the rules. Example, the
worst owner, most people say the worst over in sports,
this guy Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Bob Nutting.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
There, you think this guy's gonna wake up the day
after they put a salary cap floor in baseball and
say you know what, why don't we go out and
sign Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we
sign Kyle Schwarber. What do you say? And we'll sign
Ranger Suarez, the top pitcher in the free agent market
as well. That'll go, well, no chance, there is no
chance they will. They'll What they're gonna do is they're
(40:28):
gonna do it every every team does. In a situation
where there's a salary cap floor, they are going to
add bad contracts. They will be the dumping ground. Teams
like the Pirates, will be the dumping ground for massive
bloated contracts in baseball. And what you're gonna see is
teams like the Dodgers will use the A's example, Like
the Dodgers will call the Athletics up and say, hey,
(40:51):
we got this guy Tanners Scott.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
He's a dog with fleas.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
The guy's terrible, and we want to get rid of
his contract because the salary cap. So what you guys
are you're not even at the floor yet, So why
don't we send him and we'll put we'll throw in
some lottery ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics.
And then you just give us back like, you know,
some low level minor league pitcher and then that's it,
and and that's what the top teams are going to do,
(41:15):
I promise you. How do I know that I've seen
it in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will
send you a prospect attached to the veteran player and
all that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for
It's creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not
winning baseball. It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And you know,
(41:36):
the Phillies will trade Aaron Nola, who's washed up or
certainly was this past season, the starting pitcher. They'll trade
him to the Pirates for a half eaten tuna fish
sandwich and a half eaten bag of chips and a
handshake and a smile.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
That's what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Cosplay is all it is at that particular point. And
I remember back in the day the Clippers, back before
they were purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team,
right before the season, they traded for a couple of
veteran players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are
trying to improve the roster. No, no, no, they were
so far there was like a salary cap minimum you
(42:16):
had to spend in the NBA, and I don't know
if they still have that.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
I think they do.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
But the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts,
they didn't even have them on the roster, just so
they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll.
That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades.
You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check
the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook,
same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't
(42:44):
trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete.
They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of
the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are
just snap. But the snap so good. And if you
think the floor forces effort, if you think that's going
to force these teams to try to win, you to
(43:10):
read a book or something like that, learn a little
bit about life.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
Right ahead of the Cardinals Monday night football matchup against
the Cowboys, Mike Florio reported that, well, Kyler Murray won't
be going anywhere before the trade deadline this year after
the season, the trade is not only a possibility but likely, Ben,
Do you think that'll be the case?
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah, if they can find a team dumbenof to take
a guy that doesn't like playing football and would rather
be a video gamer off their hands, absolutely they will
trade Kyler Murray. No, they would have traded him two
years ago if they could have. There's no one dumb
enough to take his kind of the only stupid team
to take this guy's to Cardinals.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
They gotta find somebody dumber than them next.
Speaker 10 (43:59):
Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over
the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some
analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP
this season.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
What do you think, Ben?
Speaker 1 (44:10):
All Right, So, first of all, I don't think there's
anyone who's the MVP right now. It's like to me,
it's wide open. Nobody's established himself. That's the first thing.
Stafford's been great. I thought he was gonna be done.
Is back was all messed up. I'm shocked that he's
played as well as he has. I didn't have that
on my Bengo card. I don't he's been good. I
don't think he's MVP good though.
Speaker 10 (44:29):
Next a little over a week ago, we talked about
how Jimbo Fisher wants to return to coaching, but that
he will be picky about his opportunities. Now his name
is being floated as a potential higher for Auburn, then
you think that would be a good fit for Fisher.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
No, he's already won the lottery from Texas A and M.
Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing?
Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more
money out of Auburn and they'll pay him.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
A lot of money. But it's it's not a great
job in the SEC. How did we do you passes it?

Just say plan heads, mom man, I we'll put the hits.
So we go deep in the heart of Texas Jerry's world.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
How about him? Cowboy who? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the
NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw
former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A
was hanging out with Jerry.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
In the box.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
What's in the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway,
So Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride
was the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the
tight end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to
the Cowboys crib. We'll match up there Jerry Jones' favorite
NFL team, and it was on an island game. An
(02:46):
island game. He had Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on
the call.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Did you watch? Were you checking this game? I know,
maybe not.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We'll back up quarterback Jacoby Brissett and he wasn't supposed
to play in this game at the beginning of the week.
It was gonna be Kyler, sorry, but the old switcher route,
and so Bersett was in there. He threw not one
but two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler
Alligator Arms Murray could not play a little fella had
a small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals
(03:18):
a domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in
this game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they
get to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had
a five game skid, a route that came to an end.
There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,
(03:41):
A very very comfortable win for the team from the
Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been
a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in
his brief NFL career. He had a breakout game, big
first half. The stat line was big first half. Those
seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There was
(04:04):
one play where he scored in the end zone the
touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of the
Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and Jacoby
Brissett though the headliner here he made the third consecutive
start there for the Cardinals. They get their third win
of the year, and they win for just the second time.
The stats been going around the second time in eighteen
(04:26):
games without the little fella alligator arms Murray, the fun
sized quarterback.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
And so the.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Better story, though, is in the losing locker room. The
better stories in the losing locker room. The Cowboys were
not ready to play. Does anyone disagree with that statement?
The Cowboys were not ready to play. I don't see
anyone raising their hands, so no one disagrees. Good good
job by you not disagreeing. So they weren't ready. They
were shut out in the first quarter. They had a
promising drive that went could put to start the game
(04:55):
and then that was it fumbled by Mike count four times,
lost a couple of those fumbles, Dak Prescott in a
helter skelter comeback situation, had an interception, but didn't play
all that well, did not play all that well. Just
a bad mess of a game for the Dallas Cowboys.
They're in the better story on the losing side. So
that is where we will begin a good jumping off point.
(05:18):
So let us discuss the question, what does this performance
with all eyes of the football world on it, what
does this performance say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shannie and his
coaching run with the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this,
I've got Slurpye, media, mafia, and hot pocket, and we
(05:43):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to pig.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So my first thought on this A let's start with
when you take a look down. You get in the
black Hole helicopter, not black Hawk down the black Hawk helicopter,
and you go up in the sky and you look.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Down and you look around, look at the landscape there.
What do you see?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong
about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same
old Cowboys that's what I see, all right, same old,
over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George
Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get
back in the game, but he's trying to get style points. Man,
you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what that was.
(06:35):
Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the epitome of
the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's a glorified
seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting, and he's
house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's fat ass
who got let go last year. And so it's all
just a placeholder, is what it is for the Dallas Cowboys.
(06:57):
I mean, the main problem is the defense of For
some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
But we'll play it because we have it. Here we go.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
We got to play better offensively. We're better than ten points,
which is all we scored. Great job by Sam on
the punt and block special teams, but for us to
score ten points offensively is not the standard, and no
one's happy about that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, Well, the people that better on the Cardinals are
very happy about that. So I don't know that no
one's happy about that. But you look at the Cardinals
and they're not evolving. This is mid season in the NFL.
We're now done with Week nine. They only play seventeen,
so it's actually a little bit past mid season there.
There's no actual mid season. Eight and a half weeks
would be mid season. So the Cardinals and Cowboys played
(07:40):
the midway point as much as you can say. I
know some teams have had buys or whatever, so they're
just existing that Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I every week, it's every game, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The five o'clock follies, blown coverages to the right, mistackles
to the left, stupid penalties in the air, everywhere. That's
the Dallas. You can practically hear the circus music in
the background when you watch them try to tackle. It
is fascinating how much they suck on defense for a
team that supposedly practices. And everyone was talking up Matt Eberflus,
(08:13):
the defensive coordinator who cut his chops in Indianapolis as
the Colts defensive coordinator, got a good reputation and he's
been living on that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Got the Bears job.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Sucked in Chicago goes to Dallas, blows in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.
We get that job too. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The defense, in particular, they build as America's team, the
Dallas Cowboys. A big selling point there, the proprietary blent.
We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of
the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in
the day.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Legendary defenses in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The Dallas Cowboys defense is the seven to eleven defense.
It's the seven eleven defense because these guys look like
they should be working the night shift at a seven
eleven the way they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense.
There just arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and
you look around, it's like would you like a slurp?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Bee, sir?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misdassignment?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
My god? And so yet oh boo.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The Cowboys traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently
they don't have to hustle, they don't have to tackle
because the Jerry Jones traded Michael Burton. So that is
the ultimate. Okay, we blow, let's not try to get better?
Excuse and then am I correct on?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
That?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying
to find some glory.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Whole, but the cowboy I get that they traded Michael Parsons.
It's a team game. You put the collective unit together.
If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.
And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin
in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.
It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the
sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions
and not well, not hustle on certain plays and all that.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
My god, there's no rallying again.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles
and arm tackling and all that stuff. It's like a
garage seal out there. Jacoby Frickin Brissett sliced you up.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged
eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
That to you? Where'd he hurt you? Everywhere?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He hurts you everywhere? Two passing touchdowns one on the ground.
Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's at night. Here, Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's
bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys
are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice logos.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
On their helmet.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
They have good, good logos there, and they do look
marvel Is getting off the bus. Don't they look good?
Those uniforms, man, they look solid. Now when they actually play.
It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked. What happened to that
MVP campaign for Dak Prescott? It's in a ditch on
the side of the road.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,
riding the vomit comet tigles.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
So frustrating because I'm not just going to accept that, oh,
this team is inconsistent. This team is just up and
down like we're going to be as long as we
ride the wave of you know, the media and you
know the media and the media game to the next
and not putting the blame on you guys. But you know,
we want to game and we feel really good about ourselves.
And you think you're just going to go in the
next next week and smack that opponent.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And you don't.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Then you know, you feel at upset and you look
in the mirror and you come back and you give
give a better performance. You know, that's what's been happening
this year other than tonight. And so when you've put
two bad games or two ugly losses back to back,
you gotta find answers.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
We know the answers. You suck, Your team sucks. That's it.
You're never going You're you're the definition of blah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Cowboys will win seven games or eight games or something
along those lines, they'll finish around five hundred, and they're
not making the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Playoffs.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's how happened. Yeah, on the Arizona side of things,
everyone's been yapping. We'll frame the question this way. One's
been yappening here. Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe
Buck said they expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with
quarterback Jacoby Brissett that seems like kind of a big deal,
and not go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both
(12:33):
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman going on the record that
they believe Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has
been demoted, that he has been put in the doghouse
in favor of Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Is this something or is this nothing?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
So at first glance you say, well, who cares what
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
They're just a couple of media hacks.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You don't know anything like That's what the low information
fan would say. I'm telling you right now, it's something.
I'm telling you. It's something here. They're not hot take guys.
Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys. They're well
compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees. They
ran off to ESPN to get the big pile of money.
(13:20):
They're the free agency. Good for them, Good for them.
But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not dabble in
the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not what they
do here. They are made men. Joe Buck and Troy
Aikman are made men. They are They're in the elite
(13:41):
NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia and
you're a made man in the media mafia. You don't
speak out of class. You don't do it. You cannot
do it because they'll whack you.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
They will whack you.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
And so what I'm imagining happened here, just based on
connecting the dots, is that they are simply regurgitating Buck
and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.
They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,
and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there,
(14:13):
lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated
play sheet in the other. You sit around a round
table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,
that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,
they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly
a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.
(14:35):
You've got that going there, and they just start talking
and they just start chirping. And you don't have to
be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some
kind of guru here. You can just simply read between
the lines on this and inside that building. Kyler Murray's
the guy you want at the controls. If you're trying
(14:57):
to win a Call of Duty tournament, that is the
guy you want. There's no one else on the Cardinals
you would want out there other than Kyler Murray. You
give him the joystick and you get out of the way.
You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,
that's what your doubt. Now if you actually want to
win football games, that's something of you. But now again,
Call of Duty tournament thumbs of blazing there for Kyler
(15:19):
Head said on NFL Team No, no, you knew right away.
This is one of the rare deals where the team
signed the player to the extension and immediately had buyer's remorse.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we
do that?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You knew they signed the wrong player when they had
to put a clause in there to actually do your
job and watch film, and then they had to take
it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called
out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there,
So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not
very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and
(15:57):
I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of
mole and warts. Jacoby Brissett. You're not going to go
anywhere with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not
that great. He's been around a lot of miles on
the odometer for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up
on time, and he knows the offense, he can command
the huddle, all that stuff, and he does not need
(16:19):
juice boxes in between a series of offense. In practice, they
don't need to give him a juice box and some
orange slices.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He's okay. So that's there. Is that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby
Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another
one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a
seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would
be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.
It's really difficult to get a great read on any
(16:51):
of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like
the some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For
some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I don't know why. They take the short bust there.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And so we're not gonna pretend this is some kind
of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't
think they were gonna play that well. I thought at
least the Cowboys offense would be able to do stuff
they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,
just to put the ball on this, so Aikman and
Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite media mafia
of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle,
(17:24):
all right, those top level guys. They get all the goodies,
all the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop
a nugget like that on national team. I don't think
that's random. I believe that is a dead giveaway.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
That's a tell. That is a tel.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The Cardinals are quietly moving off the Kyler Murray fantasy
and they're settling in to the mud with Jacoby Brissett
adult supervision until they get some other dabbroni next season. Now,
the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't it be wild if
the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray to trade him? Where
(17:59):
would they trade him? The Saints? Like that's the only
obvious destination at this point, Like the Saints are terrible,
worst team since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
They don't have a quarterback and they got money to burn.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Uh, they can move some numbers around, make make it
work if salary caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Back to that Cowboys. Back to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of
the opponent, in case this case Arizona low the Arizona
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a
State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the
money quote here, and he said a lot the one
that stood out to me that I'd like to share
with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like
our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to
(18:43):
our nuts and bolts though. Close quote from Jerry Jones.
So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when
he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
All right? So yeah, all right, nah? Using the mallar.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation, Jerry taking
time for a modest flex. Modest flex in front of
the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now, Jerry's not
blaming himself he's definitely not blaming himself on this. In fact,
(19:24):
he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list. He's like, man,
am I a great gm Look at the town, the
nuts and bolts.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
That's me. I did that. I did that.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
That's my team. I put that team together. He's essentially saying, Hey,
I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen. These are such
great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook. I know I
hired him too, but he can't cook with my delicious ingredients.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon
hat and looking for gloryhole.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.
It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle, oil,
all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings
and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen
for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what
comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is
(20:24):
collapsing on a weekly basis there and it's burning in
the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach, there is arguing
with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's
not burning, it's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would
not burn this food at all. And it's a classic
Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM
(20:46):
and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're
just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me.
No no no, they're underachievers. But not because of Mete No, no,
no no. Jerry loves the nuts and the She loves
the nuts and the ball. She just putting an actual
winning football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though,
(21:07):
is there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem.
You got a bad contractor. They don't know what they're doing.

hour though from baseball. Baseball, No baseball. The season ended
(24:02):
over the weekend. Why would you talk baseball? What are
you stupid?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
No?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So the post mortem on the World Series here to
the winner goes a parade an a rally. You get
a parade and a rally. That's how that goes there.
So after winning Game seven in a l Classico in
Toronto the World Series, the Dodgers made their way back
(24:29):
in their luxury planes. They made their way back to
la and the Boys in Blue were serenaded with flowers
and songs.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
And they just everyone loved them.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
A cacophony of goodness for the Dodgers there as they
returned to the People's Republic of California for a big
celebration and a championship parade and rally for the ages.
So if you didn't watch any of this, why would
you if you're not a Dodger fan. I even I
find this a little annoying, but I did check some
of it out for talk show.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Reasons, for talk show reasons.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
And Dave Roberts, good old Dave, some of this stuff
was so corny. It was so oh so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Anyway, Dave Roberts tossed out a word and it involved
the number and a word, and it was kind of
the theme. You had sho Hel Tani deliver a speech
in English. He was not the only one who did that,
and the crowd went wild. They sold out crowd at
Dodger Stadium there. That concluded with Otani saying that he
(25:34):
was ready to get another ring, but Dave Roberts talking
about what the mission is now for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
I talked, you have to fail on the plane, and
he gave me the okay to use this phrase, pat Riley, let's.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Go to the too.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Okay, there you go. So how can the Dodgers three
people when they've already ruined baseball? I don't understand anyway,
So there you go. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping
off point. We'll talk about what Dave Roberts said there,
and the crowd went wild. So question, what did you
take away from the chatter that Dave Roberts? You threw
(26:23):
it out there, the Dodger chatter from Dave Roberts about
a three P all right, So I've got alphabet, pasta
atomic and tuna fish sandwich, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make your Babushka's
favorite buttered popcorn, the kind of buttered popcord your Babushka
just loves.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, I can't get enough of it. So number I said, number?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Why?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yes? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The Dodgers held this event was the word gods event, right,
we are the gods of baseball. It was that was
that kind of I love that Roberts worked in a
humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry Jones
humble bragging.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with
pat Riley.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at
this point. The younger generations don't even know who pat
Riley is, right, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Who that is.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I wasn't around for the showtime Lakers. That's a boomer.
You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you?
But the whole theme was that we are gods. We
are the gods of baseball. And it was like the
full Gladiator You know that famous scene from Gladiator?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
It was that kind of it. So the whole free
peat thing, like what are you supposed to say? Like
these things are always corny and over the top anytime
a team wins.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
A championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying,
let me tell you boys, we've won enough championship.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
My belly is full. I am from all the bling, bling.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Bloated, blooded, blooded blood, blooded blood, it blurred, it blowed
it blooded. All right, My belly is so frickin full,
I can't even anymore. No, you can't say that, right,
you meagine? Oh, I ate so much alphabet pasta, all
those ws w.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
W dob, I got no room left, no room left.
Can't win.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it,
You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that
you enjoyed the moment and just live in the moment.
None of those guys were living in the mallment. They
were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't
you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that
(28:44):
day and then you worry about next year at a
later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried
on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning
and planning their parade route or root for next year.
And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the
Harlem Globe trotters versus the Washington generals the way they're
(29:06):
playing here, and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion
dollar boy Boys Club and all that stuff. Then yet
we mentioned shoey Otani, who gave the crowd his I'm
ready for another ring line from O'tani. It was his
quote there. He said it in English, mind you, he
said it in English, and the fans of course lost
their mind Q the fireworks. There was then the choreographed
(29:30):
moment with Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophies.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So who did he call? Ice Cube?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
He brought in not an actual ice Cube, ice Cube,
the you know, the old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah,
I uh, not really a rapper anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
He's like a businessman anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the
Dodger World Series trophy from center field. Not planned at all,
very organic, moment just happened. It was very odd that
ice Cube just happened to be in his car with
the World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave
Roberts needed the trophy.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
What are the odds?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Like?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Ice Cube was just bored.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
He was driving around Dodger Stadium and he just happened
to be stopped out in center field at Dodger Stadium,
and at that moment he must have known that Dave
Roberts needed the trophy, so he say, okay, I'll drive
it in, no problem. And then security they opened the
gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a totally organic,
not scripted mallet at all, to drive it in. Simply amazing.
(30:26):
The fireworks went off, the muscle car came in there
and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn. That's
what it was, all of it, total fan porn, porn, porn, porn,
porn porn, that's what it was. The speech is everything choreographed,
all that stuff. We're a dynasty baby by Keith k Hernandez.
He's right, by the way, they are dynasty, and it's
(30:48):
this is you know what this is for the Dodgers.
It is the Gilded Age. It is the gilded age
for the Dodgers. At some point, this ownership group's going
to sell the team. Once they have to pay a
Tony's seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball,
whatever it is, they'll sell the team and some other
dope will come in and talk about well, we need
to reset the franchise, and well, we're gonna build through
the minor league system and the team will suck. But
(31:11):
until that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers.
Everyone's coddled, everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the
Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us
with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all
that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now
and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to
annoy everyone and sign somebody else.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
In free agency. Again, that's what they do. The Dodgers
are so good.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael
Conforto and he was one of them and Tanner Scott
the other, and still ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Still ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
There, and you know, they had the line, the greatest
fans in the world, all that stuff, and so you
had to say that line, right. That was Miguel Rojas.
I believe that was his line. I think he said
that he praised his teammate. It's not all about me,
that whole thing. So you had those and even the interpreters,
as mentioned these guys might be out of work here
(32:09):
because once you've exposed the fact that you speak English,
does it become a problem now, because those interpreters probably
make ninety thousand dollars a year to travel around.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
With these guys.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And you had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went
full English at the event, both of them. So there
you go. They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So
congratulations on that. And that's how the empire rolls on
in Dodger Blue. It was a coronation situation and a
(32:45):
reminder the Dodgers have become a modern If they were
a rock band, they'd be like the Beatles back in
the day. At this point, now, the rest of Major
League Baseball, if you look around the landscape of Major
League Baseball, they're just like an opening act, hoping, hoping,
beyond hope. Here to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah,
that kind of thing. Now, turning the page, but not
(33:07):
turning the page too far. Page two.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
TV Land. We go to TV Land, You and I and.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
The question what do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings,
which were very good, very good, involving.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
The Dodgers in Blue Jays tell us.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
So the ratings came out, and turns out despite having
a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna be a
Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that good and
no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out that just
wasn't true. People watch and apparently the Dodgers. Of what
I took away from the TV ratings is apparently the
Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking talk about
(33:47):
a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball, said the
guy on social media that calls sports talk radio and
all that stuff. Twenty If I read this right, twenty
six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into Game
seven of the World Series. Now that's not just good.
That's massive in modern television. Bag in the old days
(34:09):
they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism
of entertainment where everything's chopped up into little, bite sized pieces,
you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games.
Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen.
You might remember that one the Dodgers were in that
World Series against the cheating astros. Yeah, bang bang on
(34:34):
the trash can cheat a cheata chea cheata cheatah cheeta. Meanwhile,
social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen,
everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that
is the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball.
You're running the Sparta baseball, the Dodgers, You're running it.
(34:56):
I thought Sho, Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed
to make you tune out.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
You told me that, that's what you told me.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You told me that people were not gonna watch because
of the Dodger payroll. Turns out America still loves watching
the rich kids. Now were they tuned in to watch
the Dodgers lose? It doesn't matter. They watched twenty six
million men, women and children tuned in to watch the
World Series. And that is not a niche sport. That
(35:27):
is an event, that is a massive event.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
And up in.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers they pulled
record ratings the channel that carried the World Series in Canada,
and they estimate that nearly half of all Canadians, almost
fifty percent of all Canadians that have access to television,
watched at least part of Game seven of the world.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Seriest Deep Pritt deep, pretty deep good. Half the fricking
country was watching.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Uh so so much for the Dodgers are bad for
baseball narrative. Oh it's so bad. The social media echo chamber.
A reminder for those of you in the back of
the room, the social media echo chamber is not real.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
It just isn't.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the
Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It
turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are
actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain.
And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling
or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at
(36:34):
the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy,
and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power.
Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot
of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports
of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
That's what I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Say, that who knew, who knew? The ratings, the villains,
the Dodgers, the big blue, bad guys. They got flash
and they got the finish and all that stuff. So
the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a little
bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem,
it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers.
It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget.
(37:13):
That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping
the lights on and they're actually the good guys here,
which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not
all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use
that as a jumping off point for our next next
conversation point.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
So there is this chatter.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I mentioned this in a previous episode of the show,
and there's a lot of chatter that we're gonna have
a nuclear winter in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage,
either be a lockout or a strike, and there's not
gonna be baseball playing. There's can be a long long time.
They're gonna reset all the rules in baseball. This has
been the art and the marching in Shouder society. Demanding
(37:53):
a salary cap has been outspoken. They've been banging the drum,
bang bang, bang in the drum yet again. And the
argument is that all we need is not just a
salary cap. We need a salary floor to encourage the
teams that don't spend a lot of money to spend
more money and that will be the magic placebo that
(38:14):
will fix everything in the sport of baseball. You might
have heard about that. Have you heard about that? I've
heard about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about
this for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the
Dodgers spending too much, they spend too much, in the
A's don't spend any money, and we need to have
more balanced than all that. So the question on this
one would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate?
(38:38):
In this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate
the penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more,
thus fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five
or six teams and everyone else in baseball.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
So this is one of those ideas. There's a lot
of this in life.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
As you get older, you realize there's things in life
that's sound like a good idea and it makes for
a good post on social media and you get a
lot of way to go, way to go, and then
it falls apart.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
In the real world.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
It's like there's a lot of people these days that
think they should get everything free, not realizing.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
That someone has to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Right. These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's
nothing free. Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our
friends in New York are probably going to find out
about that soon, that someone's going to be paying for it.
But nonetheless, you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins,
and the Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a
conscience and start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor.
(39:44):
Are you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are
you that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise
if you think that's the case here. They will just
find creative ways to f around the rules. Example, the
worst owner, most people say the worst over in sports,
this guy Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Bob Nutting.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
There, you think this guy's gonna wake up the day
after they put a salary cap floor in baseball and
say you know what, why don't we go out and
sign Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we
sign Kyle Schwarber. What do you say? And we'll sign
Ranger Suarez, the top pitcher in the free agent market
as well. That'll go, well, no chance, there is no
chance they will. They'll What they're gonna do is they're
(40:28):
gonna do it every every team does. In a situation
where there's a salary cap floor, they are going to
add bad contracts. They will be the dumping ground. Teams
like the Pirates, will be the dumping ground for massive
bloated contracts in baseball. And what you're gonna see is
teams like the Dodgers will use the A's example, Like
the Dodgers will call the Athletics up and say, hey,
(40:51):
we got this guy Tanners Scott.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
He's a dog with fleas.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
The guy's terrible, and we want to get rid of
his contract because the salary cap. So what you guys
are you're not even at the floor yet, So why
don't we send him and we'll put we'll throw in
some lottery ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics.
And then you just give us back like, you know,
some low level minor league pitcher and then that's it,
and and that's what the top teams are going to do,
(41:15):
I promise you. How do I know that I've seen
it in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will
send you a prospect attached to the veteran player and
all that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for
It's creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not
winning baseball. It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And you know,
(41:36):
the Phillies will trade Aaron Nola, who's washed up or
certainly was this past season, the starting pitcher. They'll trade
him to the Pirates for a half eaten tuna fish
sandwich and a half eaten bag of chips and a
handshake and a smile.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
That's what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Cosplay is all it is at that particular point. And
I remember back in the day the Clippers, back before
they were purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team,
right before the season, they traded for a couple of
veteran players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are
trying to improve the roster. No, no, no, they were
so far there was like a salary cap minimum you
(42:16):
had to spend in the NBA, and I don't know
if they still have that.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
I think they do.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
But the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts,
they didn't even have them on the roster, just so
they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll.
That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades.
You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check
the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook,
same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't
(42:44):
trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete.
They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of
the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are
just snap. But the snap so good. And if you
think the floor forces effort, if you think that's going
to force these teams to try to win, you to
(43:10):
read a book or something like that, learn a little
bit about life.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
Right ahead of the Cardinals Monday night football matchup against
the Cowboys, Mike Florio reported that, well, Kyler Murray won't
be going anywhere before the trade deadline this year after
the season, the trade is not only a possibility but likely, Ben,
Do you think that'll be the case?
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah, if they can find a team dumbenof to take
a guy that doesn't like playing football and would rather
be a video gamer off their hands, absolutely they will
trade Kyler Murray. No, they would have traded him two
years ago if they could have. There's no one dumb
enough to take his kind of the only stupid team
to take this guy's to Cardinals.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
They gotta find somebody dumber than them next.
Speaker 10 (43:59):
Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over
the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some
analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP
this season.
Speaker 11 (44:09):
What do you think, Ben?
Speaker 1 (44:10):
All Right, So, first of all, I don't think there's
anyone who's the MVP right now. It's like to me,
it's wide open. Nobody's established himself. That's the first thing.
Stafford's been great. I thought he was gonna be done.
Is back was all messed up. I'm shocked that he's
played as well as he has. I didn't have that
on my Bengo card. I don't he's been good. I
don't think he's MVP good though.
Speaker 10 (44:29):
Next a little over a week ago, we talked about
how Jimbo Fisher wants to return to coaching, but that
he will be picky about his opportunities. Now his name
is being floated as a potential higher for Auburn, then
you think that would be a good fit for Fisher.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
No, he's already won the lottery from Texas A and M.
Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing?
Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more
money out of Auburn and they'll pay him.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
A lot of money. But it's it's not a great
job in the SEC. How did we do you passes it?
