(00:21):
George Kittle, that's a football player, thinks you're an idiot
if you believe this. However, is it really outrageous to
think that the forty nine Ers s head coach Kyle
Shanahan could be on the hot seat in twenty twenty six? Also,
how did you react to the news that former Raiders
(00:42):
first round pick wide receiver Henry Ruggs denied parole he
killed the young lady and her dog driving drunk. Also,
is there any risk in the Broncos extending Sean Payton
five more years? Five more years? We'll talk about all
that and more settle in We Move a mile a minute.

and he said, listen, I like the Saints and they
don't win anything. Hopefully things go better there in the
in the World Cup. And I said, well yet that
you're right, And then he wanted you to know about

(03:40):
And you probably want to know exactly where on Fox

he said, Wayne from Duluth, the Curmudgeon wants the people

(04:49):
just we'll do it. And that's that, ye all right.
We now pause the commercials to get back to the show.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So our lead this hour is from s I love
the sponsors. Our leave this hour is from the Bay area,
Santa Clara, where the forty nine Ers making some news
thanks to tight end George Kittle. If you did not hear,
perhaps not George Kittle going endorsement road. He went down
endorsement road. Kittle's strongly defending the in battled forty nine
(05:21):
Ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, calling anyone, anyone who puts
him on the hot seat not the smartest. Quote anybody
who says George Kittle, anybody who says Kyle Shanahan is
on the hot seat, You guys are not the smartest.
It doesn't make any sense to me. Close quote. All right,
So that's it. It's pretty good jumping off point. Let
(05:43):
us discuss the question. You've got George Kittle, who's at
the microphone and thinks you're an idiot if you believe
the chatter. However, is it really outrageous to think that
forty nine er coach Kyle Shanahan is on the hot seat?
Is it really that outrageous? So my observations, I've got Judge, Judy,
(06:05):
stranger things and bluetooth speaker, and we'll combine all of
these things together and we're gonna go from frying pan
to fryar is what we're going to do. Frying pan
to fryar. And we always start with number. Why number one,
number one, number one, the rue number one, like fox one.
(06:28):
It's number one, all right, So we're gonna play the
wheel of fortune, okay, And I'd like an end, and
I would like to buy a vowel I like an
O rather, I want to oh, I want to buy
a vowel, I want I want end so as in no,
as in nor. It's uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable, it is
(06:49):
in polite. It's also something that George Kittle would call
not the smartest, but it is perfectly reasonable. I can
make a compelling football ar mean that Shanahan is in
a make or break season heading into the next NFL
regular season. And I'm not shocked. No one can be
(07:11):
shocked that George Kittle has come out guns ablazing defending
his head coach and the reason he's in the inner circle.
That's not analysis, that is blind loyalty. Judge Duty would
bang the gavel. Judge Dudy would say, sir, your objectivity
is compromised. And Kittle sounds to me like the teacher's
(07:33):
pet yelling at the class for criticizing the teacher. It's like,
this is the greatest teacher of all time. Why are
you questioned the teacher? Yeah, and you can be brilliant
and still underachieve. And the Niners have had some some
teams over the Shanahan run here that were absolute wagons
(07:54):
and they didn't get it done on the biggest stage
oh and two, oh and two in the Super Bowl
with some really good football players, really good rosters there.
And the argument has been for Shanahan that he is
unable to get his team into the higher levels and
(08:15):
he can't close the big one, and that label is
tattooed on the toukis of Shanahan and it collapses or not.
Rumors they're documented for the future generations. This almost their
era of forty nine or football has gone on for
(08:36):
a long time now. I hope Shanahan stays is a
RAM fan because I know in the end they'll choke.
I feel bad for my friends like Ornesto and some
of the other great forty nine er fans that listen.
At some point, there's always that point where almost there
becomes never got there, and the forty nine ers window
is not closing. It's wheezing right now. You might want
(08:57):
to see a doctor on paper or on a tablet,
because who uses paper anymore? On a tablet. San Francisco
is a step behind the Rams. They're behind Seattle. They
got smoked in that playoff game against Seattle. Make no mistake,
though I truly believe in my heart of hearts that
(09:18):
this upcoming season is a make or break season for
Shanahan in the forty niner land, and the reason being
every year there's roughly eight to ten coaches that get whacked.
They get taken out. Shanahan has been winning regular season games.
It's not even about the regular season. It's about not embarrassing,
(09:38):
embarrassing yourself in the playoffs, going on a deep run,
and making something happen in the playoffs. If that does
not happen, I have missed the playoffs or end up
doing a belly whopper when they get there, I believe
Shanahan will, the consideration will be made to get rid
of him and bring somebody else in. Now page two,
we now go to the criminal justice system. Viva Las Vegas.
(10:05):
You might remember the Raiders had three first round picks,
if I remember correctly, and the Raider fans told me
that they were set up for the future, that they
were made men. They had all these first round draft picks. Well,
could not have f that up more. The crown jewel
of that draft years ago was a player named Henry Ruggs. Now,
(10:25):
Henry Ruggs did get a ten year contract with the
state of Nevada, not with the Raiders, and he's nearly
five years in I believe it was November of twenty
twenty one, so I guess a little less than that
as far as the prison sens. But if you don't
remember the story, Henry Ruggs was driving and drinking and
(10:46):
driving and ended up killing a twenty three year old
woman and a dog while driving drunk around Vegas. And
he was the Raiders' first round pick, and so he
was up for parole, and I am surprised he was
denied parole Henry Ruggs. All right, So the question how
(11:07):
did you react to the news of former Raider first
round pick Henry Ruggs being denied his release from jail
there in Nevada. So, for once, the parole board did
not read the script the way everyone expected. So bravo.
I'm surprised. This was the rare moment where the system
(11:29):
did not rubber stamp the celebrity treatment. As we mentioned,
Ruggs got three to ten years in prison, which was
an absolute sweetheart deal, right. Just I mean, there's dudes
in prison that sold drugs that are in for much longer,
much longer than that, and he killed somebody the way
(11:50):
this had been reported in the last couple of months.
You would have thought Henry Ruggs. It was already fitted
for a new helmet and shoulder pads, and they had
his nameplate on the locker, ready to go for some
NFL team. Well, it turns out the hype machine got
ahead of reality yet again. And the sports media guys,
(12:10):
they love a comeback store like this isn't one, not yet,
Like this is tragedy with a legal process attached to it.
And I can't understand how you look at this situation
and you think, well, I'm upset that he didn't get released.
It genuinely sounded like Ruggs. I think he's twenty seven,
(12:31):
might be a little older than that. And he's twenty seven.
His camp thought he was going to walk out of
prison and go stranger things and be teleported immediately to
an NFL training camp. And again, if you missed the story,
if you weren't paying attention, he drove one hundred and
fifty six miles per hour drunk in his Corvette Stingray,
(12:53):
twice the legal limit in Nevada, which is bad, and
then became much worse because he clowed into a Toyota
rav four with a young woman and her dog that
were burned alive. They were alive when the accident happened,
and they couldn't get out of the car and they burned.
And that's it. Game over. And that's the part people
(13:14):
conveniently forget when they start talking about second chance for
Henry Ruggs and all that NFL future. And remember the
old phrase, actions have consequences and rugs. He just got
a refresher course. Now this is only temporary, and he
will be eligible for parole again in August of twenty
twenty seven, so a little over a year from now.
(13:37):
There's even one report that said it could happen even
sooner than that. With good behavior, he could appear before
the board sometime in May, like a year, a little
less than a year from now. All right, now, final
point to Denver. We have some coaching news other than
the Shanahan story. Sean Payton has agreed to a five
(13:59):
year contract extension with the team that plays Pro football
in Colorado, the Broncos. The real Martin at the airport
in Denver. Very happy there. I don't think Queen Roxanne
is because she's like a Tom Brady fan. I don't
think she cares about the Broncos, although she does. Also,
we're very big at the airport in Denver, a lot
of fans of the show at the airport in Denver anyway.
(14:19):
So get back to the point. So Sean Payton gets
an extension keeping him under contract through the twenty thirty season,
which is actually not that far away. The deal replaces
the previous contract. He already had two years left on
his contract. Must be nice. And that aligns with the
extension of George Peyton the GM there in Colorado. So
(14:42):
he's sixty two, Sean Payton, and he said he's got
a lot of juice left. That was the quote. Lot,
that was the money quote, a lot of jews left.
He enjoys coaching, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So
the question, everyone's like, this is great, this is wonder
Is there any risk? Is there? I'm gonna play Devil's advocate?
Is there any risk with the Broncos extending Sean Payton
(15:04):
five more years? So I'm not gonna lie and say, well,
this is like the worst thing in the world. You know,
the risk is limited. However, it's not zero. It's never zero.
Like this is mostly a low risk, high reward move.
Sean Payton's considered one of the top ten coaches in
the NFL. Some years he's top five. Other years he's
closer to ten. That's fine, it's low risk, high reward
(15:30):
right now. Because the recent results, you were a win
away from the Super Bowl. You've got stability. The ownership
group there, the Walmart people, the gm BO Nicks. They're
counting on him getting better and better and better. The
downsides are mostly age related. Sustainability is a big problem,
(15:51):
and also you've get flexibility down the line and all
that stuff mentioned. His age sixty two. By the end
of this deal, Sean Payton will be sixty seven. You
see how that works. If you get a five year contract,
you're sixty two, and then when it's over, you're sixty seven.
The NFL coaches generally do not They don't exactly hit
their prime when they reach medicare. Age generally does not happen.
(16:15):
They don't age like wine. They age like a carton
of whole milk left in a rental car in the
summer in Saint Louis. All right, So it becomes a
bit of an issue. Most coaches hit their mid sixties
and start sounding like they're coaching through a bluetooth speaker
with three percent battery left, not two percent chance like
(16:35):
our buddy in Alabama. Three percent battery left on that bluetooth.
And there's more risk obviously of health issues, reduced energy, declining. Innovation.
That's the other big thing, the innovation thing, right, because
the NFL people love to brag about they're very braggadocious
about how the NFL evolves every fifteen minutes. You give
us fifteen minutes and blah blah blah. So if Peyton
(16:56):
stops innovating and I know they brought in a new
offensive coordinator now and all that this year who was
already on the staff, but Denver's offense, if you're not innovating,
you become this historical reenactment and you don't want to
be that team. And so, for better or worse, the
Broncos are now married to Sean Payton, their head coach
(17:18):
through twenty thirty. If the team regresses, it means higher
prices at Walmart. The Walmart family will just pass that
on to the consumer. So good luck, good luck on that.

texas is a rather large. STATE i don't know if you,
know this is kind of a Big are you you're In?
Lubbock are you In? Lubbock are? You? Yeah uh, Well
i'm fascinated by the. STORY i haven't spent too much
time talking about. It i've been reading about it and
keeping up on the. Story and so for those that
(23:46):
haven't been paying, attention this guy. Transferred he was the
top quarterback from WHAT i saw one of those rating
website thing of The. Jiggs they, said this, Guy Brendan
sorosby was the top player eligible in the transfer portal at.
Quarterback and he went to to The Red raiders and
and then he he had admitted to, gambling not just
a little, bit like a, lot a. Lot and then
(24:07):
they went to court and there were some there's some
people that think here that this was, crooked, right that
the judge that the people that decided this Were Texas
tech people and they have ties To Texas, tech and
so he got preferential. Treatment he's technically allowed to. Play
and then the other part of, it which is a
bunch of schools are saying that they're not going to
play The Red raiders and they're they're going to bail
(24:28):
out on those. Games and NOW i read That Texas
tech is planning on suing any team that says they
will not play. Them they're gonna gonna file a bunch
of lawsuits and that'll go through the court. System so
that'll be, fun, right that'll be a good. Time, yes
not so Mess, no if you're you, know wait wait wait,
no if you're if you're one of the attorneys and billable,
(24:49):
hours that's a lot of. Fun that's, Great it's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Wonderful it's the family vacation next, year.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You, kids grandkids go to. College is the whole. Thing,
Absolutely so what did you want to add to? That
did you have a hot take on?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
THAT i JUST i think it shouldn't fall so much
on the.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
UNIVERSITY i think it's Between sorsby and the M c DOUBLE.
A AND i saw an at commercial ON tv for
THE mc DOUBLE a talking about how they support their
their their student athletes no matter. What but here we
are fixing to try to annihilate a dude's career before
it even has.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, well but hold, on he did it to, himself
don't get me. Wrong, yeah, yeah he should. Do you
think there should be some punishment for, that right that
that that he should be punished more than he's going
to be. Punished, NO i.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Needs to evolve with the sports gambling.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
World, well, yeah but you. Can't you can't be betting
ON i know he didn't play in the. Game he
bet on what was that At? Indiana you? Know is It?
Indiana but you can't Foreign.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Indiana, yeah, yeah you.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Can't there have to be rules that have to be,

MIKE i appreciate that there's A mike In texas heading
out doing his. Thing and let's say Hello Enie meanie miney.
Mode let's say hello To, stacy who's In. Dallas Hello.
Stacy your next it is The Ben Mahlor. Show Hello?
Stacy Why?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Ben how are?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You IF i was any, BETTER i would be A,
maverick but not A Dallas maverick because you know that
got that?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Good, yeah, well, no we do have a new.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
But president of basketball.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Operations oh, yeah you got the Old Toronto raptor. Guy, yeah,
yeah he. DID i suppose.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Them, yeah you, know you were asking about the you,
Know Texas tech And Brendan, soursby and of course there's
a lot of talk about that down here in that you,
know that's the one, rule the one, rule you don't
bet on your. Team and then he did, it and
it's more than. Once, ACTUALLY i think initially we were
told he bet on them to, win and people, thought,
(27:30):
well it's not so, bad but he also bet on
them to.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Lose so, yeah, well and the issue is always, like you,
know he'll come back and he'll probably stop gambling for
a while and he'll go through the therapy and all.
THAT i don't know how much that works and, whatnot
but there's always going to be that. Suspicion, unfortunately once
you get tagged with. That as you, Know stacy's, like
even if he comes back and plays and plays another
(27:53):
five six, years goes to THE nfl or something like,
that anytime he has a bad, game people are gonna be,
like wait a, minute what's going? On funny? BUSINESS i, know?
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Right and then if he really has his mental health,
issue will it help his psyche to get out on
a field and hear sixty thousand people Doing.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
It's.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Crazy you're putting him close to the theme the target
of his, addiction which is for. GAMBLING i, Mean i'm
not an, expert And i'm not you, know trying to
like crucify, him but, yeah it doesn't really make any.

governing or? Not like if they have no, power what
are we?

for a. While they for a long time they had
too much power and now they have like. None AND

his local golf course there In San, Diego. Lefty not only,
(33:17):
that he's been accused of making unwanted contact with a female.

Incident This Golf digest had this thing he went down
a few months ago though it just started making the
rounds this. Week six time major, champion he is accused
(33:39):
of approaching a female employee and making quote non consensual
and inappropriate physical contact with. Her what exactly does that?
Mean it is like the what do you think he, Did?
Lorraine let's go to our, Expert, lorena who may or
may not have been involved in these situations in the. Past, So,
lorena what do you think happened? Here it says consensual
and and inappropriate physical contact and the woman went to
(34:04):
her boss and there was an, investigation and Then michelson
was told to vacate the. Premises you, know those situations
can be very. Touchy. AH i think he like padded
the tookis or. SOMETHING i, mean we don't. Know it's all.
(34:26):
Speculation consensual and. Inappropriate, no the way they said it
was non consensual. Inappropriate, yeah physical. Contact so what well

(00:21):
George Kittle, that's a football player, thinks you're an idiot
if you believe this. However, is it really outrageous to
think that the forty nine Ers s head coach Kyle
Shanahan could be on the hot seat in twenty twenty six? Also,
how did you react to the news that former Raiders
(00:42):
first round pick wide receiver Henry Ruggs denied parole he
killed the young lady and her dog driving drunk. Also,
is there any risk in the Broncos extending Sean Payton
five more years? Five more years? We'll talk about all
that and more settle in We Move a mile a minute.

(04:49):
just we'll do it. And that's that, ye all right.
We now pause the commercials to get back to the show.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So our lead this hour is from s I love
the sponsors. Our leave this hour is from the Bay area,
Santa Clara, where the forty nine Ers making some news
thanks to tight end George Kittle. If you did not hear,
perhaps not George Kittle going endorsement road. He went down
endorsement road. Kittle's strongly defending the in battled forty nine
(05:21):
Ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, calling anyone, anyone who puts
him on the hot seat not the smartest. Quote anybody
who says George Kittle, anybody who says Kyle Shanahan is
on the hot seat, You guys are not the smartest.
It doesn't make any sense to me. Close quote. All right,
So that's it. It's pretty good jumping off point. Let
(05:43):
us discuss the question. You've got George Kittle, who's at
the microphone and thinks you're an idiot if you believe
the chatter. However, is it really outrageous to think that
forty nine er coach Kyle Shanahan is on the hot seat?
Is it really that outrageous? So my observations, I've got Judge, Judy,
(06:05):
stranger things and bluetooth speaker, and we'll combine all of
these things together and we're gonna go from frying pan
to fryar is what we're going to do. Frying pan
to fryar. And we always start with number. Why number one,
number one, number one, the rue number one, like fox one.
(06:28):
It's number one, all right, So we're gonna play the
wheel of fortune, okay, And I'd like an end, and
I would like to buy a vowel I like an
O rather, I want to oh, I want to buy
a vowel, I want I want end so as in no,
as in nor. It's uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable, it is
(06:49):
in polite. It's also something that George Kittle would call
not the smartest, but it is perfectly reasonable. I can
make a compelling football ar mean that Shanahan is in
a make or break season heading into the next NFL
regular season. And I'm not shocked. No one can be
(07:11):
shocked that George Kittle has come out guns ablazing defending
his head coach and the reason he's in the inner circle.
That's not analysis, that is blind loyalty. Judge Duty would
bang the gavel. Judge Dudy would say, sir, your objectivity
is compromised. And Kittle sounds to me like the teacher's
(07:33):
pet yelling at the class for criticizing the teacher. It's like,
this is the greatest teacher of all time. Why are
you questioned the teacher? Yeah, and you can be brilliant
and still underachieve. And the Niners have had some some
teams over the Shanahan run here that were absolute wagons
(07:54):
and they didn't get it done on the biggest stage
oh and two, oh and two in the Super Bowl
with some really good football players, really good rosters there.
And the argument has been for Shanahan that he is
unable to get his team into the higher levels and
(08:15):
he can't close the big one, and that label is
tattooed on the toukis of Shanahan and it collapses or not.
Rumors they're documented for the future generations. This almost their
era of forty nine or football has gone on for
(08:36):
a long time now. I hope Shanahan stays is a
RAM fan because I know in the end they'll choke.
I feel bad for my friends like Ornesto and some
of the other great forty nine er fans that listen.
At some point, there's always that point where almost there
becomes never got there, and the forty nine ers window
is not closing. It's wheezing right now. You might want
(08:57):
to see a doctor on paper or on a tablet,
because who uses paper anymore? On a tablet. San Francisco
is a step behind the Rams. They're behind Seattle. They
got smoked in that playoff game against Seattle. Make no mistake,
though I truly believe in my heart of hearts that
(09:18):
this upcoming season is a make or break season for
Shanahan in the forty niner land, and the reason being
every year there's roughly eight to ten coaches that get whacked.
They get taken out. Shanahan has been winning regular season games.
It's not even about the regular season. It's about not embarrassing,
(09:38):
embarrassing yourself in the playoffs, going on a deep run,
and making something happen in the playoffs. If that does
not happen, I have missed the playoffs or end up
doing a belly whopper when they get there, I believe
Shanahan will, the consideration will be made to get rid
of him and bring somebody else in. Now page two,
we now go to the criminal justice system. Viva Las Vegas.
(10:05):
You might remember the Raiders had three first round picks,
if I remember correctly, and the Raider fans told me
that they were set up for the future, that they
were made men. They had all these first round draft picks. Well,
could not have f that up more. The crown jewel
of that draft years ago was a player named Henry Ruggs. Now,
(10:25):
Henry Ruggs did get a ten year contract with the
state of Nevada, not with the Raiders, and he's nearly
five years in I believe it was November of twenty
twenty one, so I guess a little less than that
as far as the prison sens. But if you don't
remember the story, Henry Ruggs was driving and drinking and
(10:46):
driving and ended up killing a twenty three year old
woman and a dog while driving drunk around Vegas. And
he was the Raiders' first round pick, and so he
was up for parole, and I am surprised he was
denied parole Henry Ruggs. All right, So the question how
(11:07):
did you react to the news of former Raider first
round pick Henry Ruggs being denied his release from jail
there in Nevada. So, for once, the parole board did
not read the script the way everyone expected. So bravo.
I'm surprised. This was the rare moment where the system
(11:29):
did not rubber stamp the celebrity treatment. As we mentioned,
Ruggs got three to ten years in prison, which was
an absolute sweetheart deal, right. Just I mean, there's dudes
in prison that sold drugs that are in for much longer,
much longer than that, and he killed somebody the way
(11:50):
this had been reported in the last couple of months.
You would have thought Henry Ruggs. It was already fitted
for a new helmet and shoulder pads, and they had
his nameplate on the locker, ready to go for some
NFL team. Well, it turns out the hype machine got
ahead of reality yet again. And the sports media guys,
(12:10):
they love a comeback store like this isn't one, not yet,
Like this is tragedy with a legal process attached to it.
And I can't understand how you look at this situation
and you think, well, I'm upset that he didn't get released.
It genuinely sounded like Ruggs. I think he's twenty seven,
(12:31):
might be a little older than that. And he's twenty seven.
His camp thought he was going to walk out of
prison and go stranger things and be teleported immediately to
an NFL training camp. And again, if you missed the story,
if you weren't paying attention, he drove one hundred and
fifty six miles per hour drunk in his Corvette Stingray,
(12:53):
twice the legal limit in Nevada, which is bad, and
then became much worse because he clowed into a Toyota
rav four with a young woman and her dog that
were burned alive. They were alive when the accident happened,
and they couldn't get out of the car and they burned.
And that's it. Game over. And that's the part people
(13:14):
conveniently forget when they start talking about second chance for
Henry Ruggs and all that NFL future. And remember the
old phrase, actions have consequences and rugs. He just got
a refresher course. Now this is only temporary, and he
will be eligible for parole again in August of twenty
twenty seven, so a little over a year from now.
(13:37):
There's even one report that said it could happen even
sooner than that. With good behavior, he could appear before
the board sometime in May, like a year, a little
less than a year from now. All right, now, final
point to Denver. We have some coaching news other than
the Shanahan story. Sean Payton has agreed to a five
(13:59):
year contract extension with the team that plays Pro football
in Colorado, the Broncos. The real Martin at the airport
in Denver. Very happy there. I don't think Queen Roxanne
is because she's like a Tom Brady fan. I don't
think she cares about the Broncos, although she does. Also,
we're very big at the airport in Denver, a lot
of fans of the show at the airport in Denver anyway.
(14:19):
So get back to the point. So Sean Payton gets
an extension keeping him under contract through the twenty thirty season,
which is actually not that far away. The deal replaces
the previous contract. He already had two years left on
his contract. Must be nice. And that aligns with the
extension of George Peyton the GM there in Colorado. So
(14:42):
he's sixty two, Sean Payton, and he said he's got
a lot of juice left. That was the quote. Lot,
that was the money quote, a lot of jews left.
He enjoys coaching, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So
the question, everyone's like, this is great, this is wonder
Is there any risk? Is there? I'm gonna play Devil's advocate?
Is there any risk with the Broncos extending Sean Payton
(15:04):
five more years? So I'm not gonna lie and say, well,
this is like the worst thing in the world. You know,
the risk is limited. However, it's not zero. It's never zero.
Like this is mostly a low risk, high reward move.
Sean Payton's considered one of the top ten coaches in
the NFL. Some years he's top five. Other years he's
closer to ten. That's fine, it's low risk, high reward
(15:30):
right now. Because the recent results, you were a win
away from the Super Bowl. You've got stability. The ownership
group there, the Walmart people, the gm BO Nicks. They're
counting on him getting better and better and better. The
downsides are mostly age related. Sustainability is a big problem,
(15:51):
and also you've get flexibility down the line and all
that stuff mentioned. His age sixty two. By the end
of this deal, Sean Payton will be sixty seven. You
see how that works. If you get a five year contract,
you're sixty two, and then when it's over, you're sixty seven.
The NFL coaches generally do not They don't exactly hit
their prime when they reach medicare. Age generally does not happen.
(16:15):
They don't age like wine. They age like a carton
of whole milk left in a rental car in the
summer in Saint Louis. All right, So it becomes a
bit of an issue. Most coaches hit their mid sixties
and start sounding like they're coaching through a bluetooth speaker
with three percent battery left, not two percent chance like
(16:35):
our buddy in Alabama. Three percent battery left on that bluetooth.
And there's more risk obviously of health issues, reduced energy, declining. Innovation.
That's the other big thing, the innovation thing, right, because
the NFL people love to brag about they're very braggadocious
about how the NFL evolves every fifteen minutes. You give
us fifteen minutes and blah blah blah. So if Peyton
(16:56):
stops innovating and I know they brought in a new
offensive coordinator now and all that this year who was
already on the staff, but Denver's offense, if you're not innovating,
you become this historical reenactment and you don't want to
be that team. And so, for better or worse, the
Broncos are now married to Sean Payton, their head coach
(17:18):
through twenty thirty. If the team regresses, it means higher
prices at Walmart. The Walmart family will just pass that
on to the consumer. So good luck, good luck on that.

BACK i mentioned this last. YEAR i didn't pay it.
Off it appears the it's a done. Deal according To Adam,
schefter The Chicago bears are moving To. Indiana they're moving To,
indiana which is sounds odd if you're not if you've
never been To chicago and spent time, there it's. Not
it's not that. Far it's just just across the border.
There And i've not been to the town In indiana
(20:59):
where they're going to build this stadium as a lake.
There AND i was talking to one of my friends
from that part of the country and they said it's
an absolute s. Whole they didn't say s, though they
said a different. Word and The bears are. Moving they're
the ideas they're going to fix this town up and
they're gonna make it all, nice and they're gonna have
like a Little Chicago bears. Town you know How Jerry
jones in The dallas area, there he's Got Jerry's, world
(21:24):
which is like The Death. Star and so they're planning
on doing that kind of thing In. Chicago as parently
five billion dollars to move To, Indiana and will there
be a group that says they can't be called The
Chicago bears? Anymore even though The New York jets And
New York giants play In New, jersey and The rams
(21:44):
And chargers play in the hood In, inglewood the forty
Nine ers play In Santa, clara and The bills play
An Orchard, park not Technically, buffalo and it's the suburbs
and all, that but there's a lot of. That most
of these teams don't play in the city they go
by the name Of so we'll see what. Happens but five,
billion what a? Boy If i'm a taxpayer In, INDIANA
(22:05):
i don't know THAT i want my tax dollars to
go to The Chicago. Bears but that's. It will they
still be called The Chicago? Bears should they be called
The Hoosier State bears or The Chicago Land bears or
something like. That, well we'll see about. That we'll take your.
Calls eight seven seven ninety nine On fox is the
number eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty
(22:27):
nine as my my board gets. Reset we also have
a very well known figure in sports who has some
explaining to. Do, yeah AND I i was debating whether
to get into this or. Not it's a it's a scandal.
STORY i was gonna do it in the, MONOLOGUE i
chose not to do. It let's go to the, phones.
(22:48):
Though let's say all over To, mike who's deep in
the heart Of. Texas, mike what's going? On you're on
The Ben Malis show On. Fox Welcome, Mike how are you?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Big?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Ben IF i was any, Better i'd be a, raider
but not a red raider Of Texas tech because everyone
seems to hate, them can't stand them all.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Of a, sudden AND i don't know, why because they're
not they're not in the. Laws that's just their name
is NOT i mean it. Is it's attached To Brendan,
soarsby but it wasn't attached To Brittan, sowarsby you, know
before the claim that he Owed cincinnati a million dollars came.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Out, yeah, well are you, WELL i don't know. Where
texas is a rather large. STATE i don't know if you,
know this is kind of a Big are you you're In?
Lubbock are you In? Lubbock are? You? Yeah uh, Well
i'm fascinated by the. STORY i haven't spent too much
time talking about. It i've been reading about it and
keeping up on the. Story and so for those that
(23:46):
haven't been paying, attention this guy. Transferred he was the
top quarterback from WHAT i saw one of those rating
website thing of The. Jiggs they, said this, Guy Brendan
sorosby was the top player eligible in the transfer portal at.
Quarterback and he went to to The Red raiders and
and then he he had admitted to, gambling not just
a little, bit like a, lot a. Lot and then
(24:07):
they went to court and there were some there's some
people that think here that this was, crooked, right that
the judge that the people that decided this Were Texas
tech people and they have ties To Texas, tech and
so he got preferential. Treatment he's technically allowed to. Play
and then the other part of, it which is a
bunch of schools are saying that they're not going to
play The Red raiders and they're they're going to bail
(24:28):
out on those. Games and NOW i read That Texas
tech is planning on suing any team that says they
will not play. Them they're gonna gonna file a bunch
of lawsuits and that'll go through the court. System so
that'll be, fun, right that'll be a good. Time, yes
not so Mess, no if you're you, know wait wait wait,
no if you're if you're one of the attorneys and billable,
(24:49):
hours that's a lot of. Fun that's, Great it's absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Wonderful it's the family vacation next, year.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You, kids grandkids go to. College is the whole. Thing,
Absolutely so what did you want to add to? That
did you have a hot take on?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
THAT i JUST i think it shouldn't fall so much
on the.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
UNIVERSITY i think it's Between sorsby and the M c DOUBLE.
A AND i saw an at commercial ON tv for
THE mc DOUBLE a talking about how they support their
their their student athletes no matter. What but here we
are fixing to try to annihilate a dude's career before
it even has.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, well but hold, on he did it to, himself
don't get me. Wrong, yeah, yeah he should. Do you
think there should be some punishment for, that right that
that that he should be punished more than he's going
to be. Punished, NO i.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Needs to evolve with the sports gambling.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
World, well, yeah but you. Can't you can't be betting
ON i know he didn't play in the. Game he
bet on what was that At? Indiana you? Know is It?
Indiana but you can't Foreign.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Indiana, yeah, yeah you.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Can't there have to be rules that have to be,
followed and you can't do. It i'm a talk. SHOWS
i can't take. Payola i'd love to take. Payola i'm
not allowed to do. IT i have to every YEAR
i get. TRAINING i can't take. Paola they make it
a big. Deal and so because some DJs back in
the sixties and seventies were paid to play. Records so
HERE i am fifty something years later AND i got
(26:25):
to still do training to not do the paola, Anyway thank, You.
MIKE i appreciate that there's A mike In texas heading
out doing his. Thing and let's say Hello Enie meanie miney.
Mode let's say hello To, stacy who's In. Dallas Hello.
Stacy your next it is The Ben Mahlor. Show Hello?
Stacy Why?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Ben how are?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You IF i was any, BETTER i would be A,
maverick but not A Dallas maverick because you know that
got that?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Good, yeah, well, no we do have a new.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
But president of basketball.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Operations oh, yeah you got the Old Toronto raptor. Guy, yeah,
yeah he. DID i suppose.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Them, yeah you, know you were asking about the you,
Know Texas tech And Brendan, soursby and of course there's
a lot of talk about that down here in that you,
know that's the one, rule the one, rule you don't
bet on your. Team and then he did, it and
it's more than. Once, ACTUALLY i think initially we were
told he bet on them to, win and people, thought,
(27:30):
well it's not so, bad but he also bet on
them to.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Lose so, yeah, well and the issue is always, like you,
know he'll come back and he'll probably stop gambling for
a while and he'll go through the therapy and all.
THAT i don't know how much that works and, whatnot
but there's always going to be that. Suspicion, unfortunately once
you get tagged with. That as you, Know stacy's, like
even if he comes back and plays and plays another
(27:53):
five six, years goes to THE nfl or something like,
that anytime he has a bad, game people are gonna be,
like wait a, minute what's going? On funny? BUSINESS i, know?
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Right and then if he really has his mental health,
issue will it help his psyche to get out on
a field and hear sixty thousand people Doing.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
It's.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Crazy you're putting him close to the theme the target
of his, addiction which is for. GAMBLING i, Mean i'm
not an, expert And i'm not you, know trying to
like crucify, him but, yeah it doesn't really make any.
SENSE i mean the frustration, Is i'll go ahead.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Her can you can you pretend to be an Expert?
Stacey for the? Radio can you pretend to be an expert?
Police can?
Speaker 6 (28:32):
You? Sure? Sure?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah why?
Speaker 6 (28:37):
NOT i think the frustration did you hear this? Part it's,
like you, know THE ncaa said he's, ineligible but then
it was the court that, said, well, no it's you,
know just irreparable harm if he doesn't so he can.
Play so some of the frustration, is well are they
governing or? Not like if they have no, power what
are we?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Doing that's why it's been THE ncaa has been toothless
for a. While they for a long time they had
too much power and now they have like. None AND
i would, Think, stacy the next couple of, years that'll
be the next thing that, happens like The big ten
and THE sec some of these big time, players they'll
(29:17):
just do their own. Thing they'll just like move away
from the NC. Doublea that's been rumored for a. WHILE
i think we're heading on the fast track to.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
That so so that guy out what Is? CHANDLESS i
can't remember his first. NAME i guess you'll get to
play until he's thirty years? Old of, course keep over?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Right why? Stop WELL i stop at. Thirty just keep, going,
man that's a great gig you, get you, know beautiful
people in, college you, know hang out with young people

her boss and there was an, investigation and Then michelson
was told to vacate the. Premises you, know those situations
can be very. Touchy. AH i think he like padded
the tookis or. SOMETHING i, mean we don't. Know it's all.
(34:26):
Speculation consensual and. Inappropriate, no the way they said it
was non consensual. Inappropriate, yeah physical. Contact so what well
that that has to be more than just.

there's nothing. There nobody went to the cops and so
(35:28):
there's no there's no there there Isn't it usually just
an H r thing though at the.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
