Speaker 2 (00:22):
Eddie.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
The NBA, they have this last two minute report and
it's just so dumb it does no good. So there
was some controversy in game one of the Pacers Next
series where Miles Turner he set a screen with about

(00:43):
twelve seconds to go. Devincenzo sold it. The officials called
an illegal screen, turnover knicks ball. It's a big point
in the game, only twelve seconds to go. Pacers were
down by one. So Miles Turner said, and my experience
in this league, I think it's best when the players
decide the outcome of the game. And he was saying,

(01:06):
I'm looking forward to seeing the release of the last
two minute report. Well, the last two minute report comes
out and they said, actually that was the right call.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It was an illegal screen.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh but there were four missed calls aside from that
whole illegal screen thing, and they it just detailed all
this stuff where it's like, well, there was a kicked
ball called on aaron Ne Smith that was the wrong call,
and well they missed a defensive three seconds violation that

(01:37):
should have been called. And there was a backcourt you know,
violation here and this was messed up and it's like, cool,
So what can be done about that?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Nothing, absolutely nothing can be done about it.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
So it's just an oh, by.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
The way, you kind of got screwed on that call,
but we can't do anything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
What good does that do, Eddie?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It does make people mad. How is that good for
the NBA?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I guess their argument would be that there's transparency. Right
as far as them admitting, you know, the mistakes were made,
I don't know. I am more I agree with you.
I don't know what purpose this serves other than to
say our officials aren't very good when it matters most
and now you can be pissed off. I guess, you know,

(02:26):
like Ben would talk about how this is good content
for us, we're talking about it. I'm not one of
those people that believes that, you know, any publicity is
good publicity. I don't believe that. I think bad publicity
is bad. So I'm with you. I don't know, I
don't I don't understand why they want to do this.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's weird, and you're right. It is a transparency thing.
It's totally about gambling. It absolutely is. It's the Tim
Donneghe scandal when the corrupt official he was affect games
because he was betting the over or whatever he had

(03:03):
going on. He's like, foul, you know, we need to
get to at least two hundred and three points for
the total to hit, for the over to hit. And
so the NBA absolutely is doing it partially because of
that and also because of just gambling in general. They
want to show you that things are on the up
and up, but it's like it doesn't really accomplish that.

(03:26):
It just shows that calls were missed and the outcome
is jacked up. It doesn't show that you're like dotting
your eyes, crossing your t's and everything's okay. This last
two minute report came out, shouldn't bet a kicked ball.
So our takeaway is, oh, well, the NBA is not
corrupt whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Right does anybody think that? Or are they like me?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
And they're like Okay, so stuff was missed and the
outcome was screwed up, and now we're just ticked off
because nothing can be done about it. Even you go
back to the previous series when the seventy six ers
they had that epic comeback against the Knicks. Tyrese Maxi
had seven points in like the last you know, twenty

(04:11):
eight seconds or whatever it was, and the NBA came
out eddie the last two minute report. They said, oh,
that four point play. Tyrese Maxi hit a three and
got fouled. Hit the free throws a four point play
cut the deficit to two points. It was huge in
that comeback. They were like, yeah, it shouldn't have counted.

(04:34):
You're like, wait, what I think they said? It should
have been traveling. I don't know what they said why
it shouldn't have counted.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
They they did say it was traveling. They said it
was traveling, which is hilarious because when the last time
he saw a travel called in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
But it's like, nothing could be done about it, and
all they did was cause us to look at an
epic moment differently. How is it good for the NBA
to say, hey, like the modern version of Reggie Miller
scoring all those points in the garden in the final
ten seconds against the Knicks, the modern version with Tyrese

(05:10):
Maxey doing what he did. They're like, it never should
have happened. It should have been traveling. So why would
you do that, Why would you say that, You're just
negotiating against yourself. I don't think it makes any sense
at all. None, And yeah, I agree with you. Yeah,
they keep doing it many You have players that are like,

(05:33):
I'm interested to see what the last two minute report says,
and it's like, I guess, but nothing can be done
about it anyway, So what good is it?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I just think it's a waste of time. It's I
don't know why it would be comforting to any fan
or good for the NBA to be like, oh yeah,
when it was a tie game and we said it
was a kicked ball on the Pacers, it actually wasn't
a kicked ball.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It hit the guy's hand.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It should have been the Pacers ball, but we couldn't
do anything about that. Just so you know, you officially
got screwed. It's like, okay, cool, well good, it feels
so much better now. I just don't think it's good
for the league. Can you imagine if we had that
in the NFL, Eddie, think about that. What if the
NFL was kicking this around and they're like, hey, we've

(06:25):
got the you know, Caesar's super Dome. We're in bed
with some of these sports books. We got to make
sure everything's on the up and up. We got to
have an NBA version of our last two minute report,
so we could just tell you if a team gets
screwed and we couldn't do anything about it, but at
least you know, it's.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like, why, what good is that?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I think that happened against your Steelers in a playoff game, Eddie.
You might remember this. I remember they're playing Jacksonville. Is
when David Garrard was the quarterback of the Jags. Remember that,
and I remember him there was a hole by the way.
That's right, nice, look at you. You're ready for this showdown.

(07:08):
That was great, But there was a holding call. I
think they missed it. It was Jags and Steelers, and
they came out and they said either the wrong call
was made or a call should have been made and
it was missed. I can't remember the exact detail, but

(07:29):
they're like, yeah, just so you know, we kind of
screwed it up. It's like, okay, why would you tell
us that you can't do anything about it. I just
I don't think it makes any sense, no sense at all.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
It does give us something to talk about.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Though, it does.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I guess we just have to vent a little bit,
and you know, we have a conversation about it.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
But I don't think it's good for the NBA. But
it this way.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
If there was a board meeting and Adam Silver said, hey,
open for suggestions, what do you think would make the
league better, I'd say killed at last two minute report
Immediately it does you, guys, no good at all, none,
And yet you keep it around like it's good for you.
It's not gets in your way. Let's get out to
the militia. Here eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox

(08:15):
is your number? Rich is over there in Connecticut. I'm
curious what he has to say here, Rich.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Man?

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Not too much?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Hey, what's up daddy?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
How you doing?

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Man?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'm good?

Speaker 4 (08:25):
How are you all right? Chilling?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Bro up there in Connecticut? Hey, cheese steakes a beautiful
up here. I've been in California. You know they might
have a few, but anyways, referees and umpires and everything,
and it stinks nowadays, it changes the whole aspect of sports.
It's like we can't trust no one anymore, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, I mean, look, it's I think it's so difficult
to officiate like these these athletes are so fast that
happens a fraction of a second you can't stand.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
But back in the day, that was the thing, you
know what I mean, that was it. I mean, safe
or not safe, you know what I mean. And all
these referees and umpires and whatnot, no matter what sport,
they all rely on the instant replay and everything, and
they all take things for granted, you know what I mean.
And then you're talking about gambling. So that's what it
all comes down.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Well, replay is a huge part of it. I mean,
you know, the advances in technology, all the camera angles
we have. I mean, these guys are more scrutinized than
ever before we see it. But you know, it's it's
the whole thing. You know, we've had replay because we
can't have a situation where we're sitting in our living
rooms and we all know what the call is and
they're getting it wrong, right, So they had to get

(09:40):
some help. And now the referees in their defense, I
guess they're relying on that. Now they're looking to, they're
looking to you know, they're not going to call it
a fumble because they know the replays got their back, right,
just an example.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, you know, I mean, was
scared these referees and umpires and everything. They're scared nowadays
because of you know, the gambling aspect or you know,
so many might time after it.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
You know what I mean that sense.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I don't think that's that at all. I disagree with
both of you guys. It's just look, man, it's hard
to officiate. That's the bottom line. It's not what they're lazy,
or they're worried, or they're scared, or it's hard to
get it right.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's just it. That's the bottom line. It's hard to
get it right.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
But don't get into business.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
If you can't do a job, no one can do
the job. That's the point.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
Nobody, nobody's gonna nobody's gonna officiate me if I do
something wrong at the warehouse, right, Well, replay, who's gonna
do replay.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
You know what I mean not.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I don't know. They've got cameras everywhere now these days.
Watch out. Bos's gonna call you into the office and said,
we're looking at the replay that shelf true.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Hey, hey go Eagles, go Celtics. You all take it easy, all.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right, you too, rich appreciate you like green teams. Yeah,
I got the Eagles and Celtics. I wonder if that's
like a common combo, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't know, me. I guess northeastern right area there.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Right, you know, I don't know if Patriot fans would
be down with that, you know, normally normally Pats and Celtics, right,
I'm sure some Uh, but Eddie, I think that sometimes
we uh, we go into movie trailer mode, you know,
and we come up with something that seems.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Like, oh wow.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's like the bottom line is just so simple. It's
just it's hard to officiate anything like NFL, NBA, good luck.
These athletes are so fast. These plays happen so quickly.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
No, I get it. But you're you're wait a minute,
you said you were disagreeing with me. I mean, you're
you're discounting instant replay in the technology that we have nowadays,
that that's not a huge factor in antiquing these officials.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh no, it absolutely is.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
But I'm just saying it's a lot easier to tell
what the right call is if you're watching it in
super slow motion from seven different angles.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
You know.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I have an issue with that too. I don't know
if we want to get deep into the replay pool,
but I've always said I don't mind them using the
super slow mo to figure out certain things. But when
when you're reviewing a call, I think they should have
to review it in real time because that's the way
the game is played. That's the way it doesn't make
any sense, you know, because super slow mo and zooming

(12:31):
in on things can change what things actually look like
and what they are. I just I hate when they,
you know, you break it down so much and you
you you know, micro analyze it, it starts to change
actually what actually had happened. I mean, I just think
there's sometimes when if you want to get a look
to see if somebody touched the ball or not begain

(12:52):
you want to use super SLOWE. That's fine, But then
there's certain calls you want to get a second look at.
It okay, but you have to watch it in real time,
not breaking it, because that changes what things look like.
The game's not played in slow motion.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll meet you halfway where I don't need to watch
a good example, right, basketball, Let's say I have the ball, Eddie,
and you're the one that's like knocking the ball out
of bounds. But it just in super slow motion, it
just grazes my right, you know, ring finger, and I

(13:25):
was technically the last one to touch the ball like
that is. So that's not in my mind what replay
should be for when you're breaking it down to that level.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I've always said replay should just be for blown cobbys,
blown calls when you're you know, making it so yeah,
like I said, just putting under the microscope so much,
it's just ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Right, Just fix the obvious stuff. That's that's what I
want to see happen. But I think for anyone who
makes it out to be that, all these officials just
just be better. It's like, bro, no one can officiate
like perfectly or even close to it with the speed
of these games. And you have one angle in real

(14:13):
time that's so much different than seven angles in super
slow motion Like. It's not like they're lazy or they're
just scared, or it's like, oh, let's just use replay.
They're like, ah, the hell with it, what do I care.
It's like they're trying their best to get this right.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's just hard. It's incredibly hard to get it right.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's not easy. It's not easy profession at all. It's
like they're the offensive lineman of the sports world. We
never give them credit when they get something incredibly difficult right.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's just we crush them if they get it wrong.
That's the life.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Of an official. It's just like an offensive lineman. We
don't put them on a pedestal. If they do their job.
It's just like we crush them if they allow a sack.
That's how it is, all right. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is the phone number here, getting the
game showdown style, our rules ironed out. We will make

(15:07):
sure we're all on the same page here. So that's
coming up momentarily. We got somebody in trouble again. Somebody
is in trouble again. Details on that coming up. I'm
probably no, he's Eddie Garcia. Hang with us right here.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
The Ben Maler Shows a collaborative effort. You're invited to
communicate with those of us on this side of the microphones.
You can follow your host on x in for Ben Maller,
It's Brian No He's at the No Show n OE,
and you can boast at and follow our executive producer.
He is manning the phone. So he's the guy you
talk to when you call under the show. He is

(16:34):
more than just a call screener. He's the liar, liar
and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. It's
the Cooper Loop. Justin Cooper, and he's at uh Bronco fan.
Justin Prefers Black Statlan a Bronco fan, and I live
Natyrack dot com, Fox Sports Radio Studios in for Ben Mallard.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's Brian No, thank you, Eddie. So, Coop and I
have been working on the details. Here the the ground
rules of the game showdown style. Okay, what do you
think about this? I love this idea by Coop. So
I didn't realize this ady, This is in your wheelhouse
as well, naming the colleges of NFL players, like what

(17:15):
college they went to. And so we're gonna have a
show down, you and me Mano Amano, right, and so
we need some of the militia to call in with
an NFL player in mind. Right, they throw it at us,
we buzz in. Whoever gets it gets the point. So
how about this? We'll race to five? And Coop said,

(17:37):
but it's got to be like tennis, you got to
win by two. So I think of it like deuce again,
like you go, you do the tiebreaker thing, right, like
you got to be ahead by two.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
In the race to five to win? What do you
think about that? You up for that?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
That's fine? Is the caller? Is each individual caller just
gonna have one name?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I don't know. Do you want them to have multi?

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I think it would make probably make more sense for
them to have one for each of us.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I would think, Well, Coop's idea was if they have
one or multiple, he just throws it out and it's
who's quickest on the draw.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh, I see what you're saying. Right, that's fine.

Speaker 10 (18:15):
Yeah, use your name to buzz in.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, buzz in, and then whoever gets it gets the
point you like it? Sure, Okay, we can get that
a try. Let's let's do that here.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
If people want to check you in, give us a
call eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, and after
Eddie spins us around, right, we'll get to it.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
First of all, we've got Jerome. Jerome's over there in Charleston.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
We're waxing poetic about Charleston yesterday, Eddie beautiful.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Jerome, it was nice to be really nice to do.
It'starting to get the full uh sealing of summer now,
you know. I just glad to be living at Chauton
with the beautiful women and the beautiful women you.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Know there you go excellently.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
All too young for me though.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Age is just a number, Jerome, I don't believe that
at all.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
That's what I tell myself all the time. But so
far I'm not convincing myself. Okay, Brian, that sound good?

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, no, I got you.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
I was teasing the uber driver that brought me home
to day because I had to go to the VA.

on the news about they're gonna have this nude what
do they call it when they go on these big
these boats for the color yach yacht. But you know,
cruise cruise, A nude cruise, a cruise. And I'm telling

(19:42):

We'll statue of limitations on your body. You know what

and get sat There's nothing going to change that is

(20:04):
a diet and I'm not going on a diet man.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
That reminds me it's the TNT crew, right like Shaq
and Barkley. We're talking about that yesterday where Shaq was like,
if you go to the beach, you better wear a.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
T shirt like our second days are over with. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
I wanted to from you, a gambler, have you lost
as much money as Charles Barkley? They lost twenty five million?
Dog how?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Brian?

Speaker 4 (20:27):
How? And I hell do you lose that kind of money?
I mean you must be like at the casino twenty
four to seven, going crazy, lose and lose and lose
and losing, and then you come out and something like that.
That's when you got too much dog on money, when
you can lose it. I got to ask you about
the Clippers though, Hey, uh, you know that Walker Alexander

more than one location of my Father's Mustache.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
They got to be very popular in that area. I'd imagine, right,
smash hit.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, I guess so, I guess so.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I hope the meet and greet goes great. You know
how long's Ben in South Carolina? Just a little getaway
for the week.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I mean, yeah, he's gone for the He was gone
for the whole week here except for the Sunday night
show he did. So he's uh yeah, he's gonna be
out till the weekend. I guess he blew me off. Nice.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
What if what if there was a nude cruise meet
and greet for the Mallard Militia. What do you think
about that, Eddie?

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Oh, that would be I would I would wish blindness
on myself. Can I see your ball show?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I'd like to see. Yeah, that might be a little
bit too much.

Speaker 8 (24:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Brian, we had the NHL Draft Lottery and the San
Jose Sharks for the first time in their franchise history,
we'll have the opportunity to pick number one overall in
the NHL Draft. The first pick is expected to be
a kid named Maclin Celebrini. Oh wow, I know he

(24:57):
actually I don't know if he grew up in the
but he lived in the Bay Area for a while.
He played for the Junior Sharks, which is like a
youth team. His dad is the head athletic trainer of
the Golden State Warriors. Oh wow, and Macwin Celabrini played
one year or at least he has played one year
at Boston University. He'll decide after the draft he's going

(25:20):
to go pro or come go back to college for
another year. I'm guessing he's gonna go pro. But he
could be the only player in NHL history to win
the Hockey Heisman, the Hobie Baker Award, and be the
number one overall pick in the NHL Draft. So probably
gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
And he goes from the Sharks to the Sharks, right,
that's the expectation.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely so.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
I do like when the team that has the best
odds to get the top pick gets the top pick.
I realized that they have a lotter ready to discourage
tanking and all. I get that, but man, it sucks
if you've got the best odds to have the number
one pick you end up with you know whatever, like
the fourth or fifth pick or something like that. I

(26:04):
always feel bad for those teams. So good for the
Sharks that they're going to get the top pick. All right, Eddie,
let's get to this.

Speaker 8 (26:17):
Versus there we go.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Actually better than some of the imagery we have.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
The game versus style.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
That's right, the first showdown here, Eddie, between the two
of us, this is uncharted territory. Very much looking forward
to this. Okay, so we just need people come up
with an NFL player, anyone you want, and Eddie and
I will race to see who can name the college
that player attended.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Quicker.

the NFL. I'm pretty sure that. I bet, I bet
that college doesn't even exist anymore. It doesn't have a
football program.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
What college did it turn into? Is what I want
to know.

Speaker 1 (27:38):

Notre Dames. So blind Scott actually just a long snapper,
but he's really good. He's like highly recruited.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
You know, that's very A full ride is a long
snapper that seems to be pretty good.

Speaker 11 (28:14):

It was awesome, just all right.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
We still have a one ozer lead for Eddie. And
just before we get to the next player.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Now, if I was Ben, I'd be like trying to
stall time until.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's is run out of time and you take the
win before.
