In this third hour of the Ben Maller Show, Brian Noe discusses the WNBA drama of the day when Azzi Fudd was asked about her relationship with other WNBA player Paige Bueckers & why not everything needs to be categorized as sexist + how the league is doing itself as disservice in the way they are describing the contracts they’re dispersing to their stars compared to other sports leagues.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh, what's going on, Militia, Welcome in Ball on the brain.
More football to get to. We do have some hot
food takes. I don't know about this Brianna Muro girl.
I don't know what's going on with her. So she
she hit me with goth metal for a second. I'm like,
pre coming up, coming up in the world here, and
(00:49):
then she hit me with she uses briosh for her
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and she puts peanut butter
on both sides. I'm like, Bri, Bri, Bri. The The
overall Q rating is plummeting right now. What is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So we'll get to that in a little bit here.
I do want to say this, so I ran across
the story today. Actually, I want to give the Schwartz
Syndicate a shout out. So, Jeff Schwartz, guy work with
on Sunday mornings.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Check it out.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Countdown early morning militia. I know it's early wake up
call Sunday mornings. It'll be what nine to noon Eastern time.
You gotta do the math from there if you're a
central Mountain Pacific time. But I work with the Schwartz Syndicate.
Great dude, And he texted me today and it was
just a portion of a press conference. So like full disclosure,
(01:42):
Jeff and I geek out on the WNBA. We're degenerates.
We bet the WNBA like crazy. I watch a lot
of WNBA games. I'm not ashamed at all. I was
doing some fill in radio with my guy Jason Martin
last year and I told him I watched WNBA the time.
He thought I was kidding. He thought I was just
joking around. I'm like, no, I really watched games left
(02:05):
and right. So I'm a fan of the league. I
love basketball. No shame in my game. I will watch
And so Jeff he sent me this video. So this
is asy Fudd. Asy Fudd was the number one overall
pick by the Dallas Wings. Now she is in a
relationship with Pagebackers. They're a couple. So Page Beckers was
(02:29):
the number one overall pick the previous season with the
Dallas Wings, and she crushed it. She had a great
rookie season. And now this year, asy Fudd was the
number one overall pick. So now they're teammates. And so
Jeff sent me this, this link of a video. It
(02:49):
was basically a tweet, you know, like a link to
this tweet. And so this was asy Fudd. She had
just been picked number one overall, and this was one
of the questions that she received in the press conference.
So listen to this and we'll take it from there.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Page announced last year on TikTok that y'all were a couple,
and I'm wondering if that is still the case, and
if so, if y'all have talked to any other couples
in the league about how they negotiate that dynamic as
pro teammates.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I understand why you have to ask that question, but
we're going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players'
personal lives.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The next question. Okay, so it was shut down.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The PR person was just like, yeah, thanks, we won't
be addressing that at all, So let's move it along
and keep it on basketball.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Which I get, totally understand that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I totally understand how the Dallas Wings wouldn't want to
make things all about the relationship between Page Beckers and
their newest number one overall pick Easy Fud for obvious reasons.
They If Easy answers that question, there are going to
be fifty more questions about the relationship the Dynamics. It's
(03:57):
never going to end. There's always going to be a
question about that. It's going to lead into the regular season.
You know, Azy Fudd has a bad game. You know
Pagebackers looked a little bit miffed at one time in
the game. Is everything okay? They just don't want to
go down that road. Totally understandable in my brain.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
But the thing that's interesting with this whole thing, So
this the original tweet from the Sporting News. It's got
nearly eight million views, Okay, and it just says a
reporter asked Azy Fudd about her relationship with Page Beckers,
but the Wings media team said they won't be commenting
(04:37):
on their players' personal lives. Almost probably has eight million
views by now, I bet it does. I think I
could let me let me try the link. I'm just
curious if it's gotten to eight. It might be closer
to nine at this point, but that's crazy the amount
of views this has got, the attention it's gotten. Yeah,
we're at nine million views now. It was seven point
eight like a couple hours ago. It's crazy. So it's
(04:59):
got a ton of traction, and so the comments, like
people will quote tweet this and write whatever they write.
They'll respond to the Sporting News original tweet, and so
one that caught my attention Ashley Nicole Moss. So Ashley,
she's a basketball analyst. She's also a sideline reporter for
(05:21):
CBS Sports, and her tweet got some traction. She just wrote,
it's weird and gossipy as hell that people keep asking
about her about Page asking Azy Fudd about Page posting
about her, and Page Page already got drafted.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
They're not conjoined twins. That was her tweet. So the
first part of this, this is what I texted Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's not weird and gossipy as hell for people to
ask Asy Fudd about Page Beckers. There are a million
fair questions that you could ask, and it might be
a little bit awkward to ask questions about a relationship
and how it might impact the team, you know, the
(06:06):
business of the Dallas Wings. But those are even though
it might be a little bit awkward and a little
bit odd, those are fair questions. What happens if you
know the relationship isn't working out, What happens if they
break up their teammates? You tell me that can't be
a thing. Potentially in the lack of course it could.
(06:27):
But the other part of this is there are a
ton of tweets of like, this is just so inappropriate.
It's not even a basketball question. Why would anybody be
asking anything related to their relationship? And then you get
these like this, this would never happen in a male sport,
that sort of thing, and it's like, look, not everything
(06:47):
is sexist. And I got news for you. Anybody who
thinks that if Joe Burrow announced that he's dating wide
receiver Jamar Chase, there would be questions.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There would be a million questions.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, this is not just a sexist thing, like, oh,
there's this female couple.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Now they're teammates.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, let's just pry and be gossipy and let's just
be weird as hell as Nicole as Ashley wrote there,
it's like, it's not that there are questions about actual
basketball the impact of the team, and the same thing
would happen.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Believe me, in male sports.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
This is not I don't know, just like making something
out of nothing, or being weird or being gossipy. Some
of these are fair questions. They are fair questions, and
I just think there's a tendency for that to happen
sometimes in female sports. It happened just a couple of
days ago after the WNBA Draft. So the WNBA commissioner,
(07:50):
Kathy Engelbert, she was asked after the first round of draft, hey,
how long are you thinking about doing this' phrasing? You know,
like there was a lot recently. The FISA Collier is
one of the best players in the WNBA. The FISA
Collier was calling the commissioner out and again I'll paraphrase
(08:14):
where she was like, she basically sucks at her job.
She's bad at her job, she should not have her
job as basically what we're one of the best players
in the WNBA was saying. So to ask Kathy Engelbert, hey,
you know there was some static going on in the
off season how long do you see yourself being the
(08:36):
commissioner of the WNBA?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Totally fair question, and she.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Literally said, she was like, I don't know if you
would ask a male commissioner the same thing. It's like, really,
you've had Goodell asked that numerous times throughout the years.
You've had Gary Bettman face those same questions. You've had
Rob Manfred face those same questions. So to a immediately
(09:00):
go to the sexist card of like whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're asking me this? Are you asking the men this? Yes,
actually they are. They're asking the men that even more
often than the female commissioner in this situation here. So
not everything is sexist, Not everything is a witch hunt.
Not everything is like hey, let's like what make fun
(09:24):
of a female sport?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It doesn't always rise to that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And look, I understand why some people would be very
cynical and some people would wonder like whoa, like where's
this coming from? Or yeah, is this equal and men's
sports compared to female sports? But if you really walk
down that road and you're objective about this, Kathy Engelbert
(09:50):
is not the only commissioner who's faced questions about, hey,
how long do you see yourself doing this job. How
long do you think you're gonna have this gig? How
long do you want to have this gig that happens constantly.
It's happened year after year after year to Goodell, Bettman, Manfred.
So it's not a sexist thing, man, and the thing
(10:12):
with you know, I'll meet you halfway. For anybody who
sees things differently, I think there are plenty of inappropriate
questions that a reporter could ask Easy Fudd or could
ask Paige Beckers about the dynamics of their relationship. The
question that I played was kind of weird, where it's like, hey,
(10:34):
have you basically sought advice from other players who are
couples around the league? Like who would do that? That's
just kind of an odd question. So there certainly are
odd questions to ask because I make it like, what's
the equivalent of that of let's say I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Let's say I have a brand.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
New relationship, which is not true, but let's just say
I did and I don't. Like there was a member
of the militia who called in like, hey, did you
did you ask other couples questions about the dynamics of
their relationship that could be helpful toward the dynamics of
your relationship and be like.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's a freaking weird question.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, I haven't asked anybody anything, you know, I'm just
living life.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
We're just trying to be a good couple together. Like,
it's just an odd question.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So certainly there are odd questions that can be asked,
But it doesn't mean that everything is weird and gossipy automatically.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
It just doesn't mean that.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And so I don't know, man, I just think there's
a quick trigger finger where you know, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa?
Not any question is fair whatsoever. It's like, no, there
are there are a lot of fair questions to ask
about a dynamic like this. There are two players who
are a couple. What happened if the relationship goes south?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
What?
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Then?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That could be a thing like how strong is this relationship?
That could be important.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Would easy Fund have been the number one overall pick
had they not been in a relationship?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That could be a something that maybe you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Want to ask per se, but it is a fair
question to just even wonder about. So not everything rises
to oh, you're only thinking these things because you're a
raging sexist.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's not the case.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
So I don't know, man, I just think that sometimes
something seems a lot more sinister than it really is.
That's just the bottom line, But that's how I see it.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number?
Do you have any thoughts on that? Being interested to
hear it? But I just think that, Look, man, I
(12:57):
want the WNBA to do well. I want the WNBA
to be successful.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I like the league.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I watch it a lot. I want them to grow.
I want them to flourish, you know. I want it
to be a very successful league. I love basketball, so
I'm definitely not rooting against it. But I think you
can really really turn off fans when you play a
card that is just it's not correct. You know, it's
(13:29):
just not the case. And if you immediately go to
the uh, whoa are you asking the male commissioners how
long they're planning on staying with their jobs?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Here?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Are you doing that? It's like, yeah, actually they are.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They're doing that a lot in fact, you know, So
when you play that card inappropriately, I think it can
turn a lot of people off, Like, you know what,
this is just drama.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
This is just like.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You know, it turns into that real fast. I think
you got to guard against that. I think you had
to be careful about that. And there are some WNBA
gatekeepers where it's like you don't realize you're actually damaging
the product by being this gatekeeper this.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
I'm gonna shout for what's right and they.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Need to be treated this way. And it's like, that's
not even what's going on right here. It's a sports question.
It's a sports question, that's it. It's not about you know,
prying into a like a lesbian relationship. It's not anti gay,
it's not anything like that. It is about sports, like
(14:36):
that's that's.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
What it is.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So to react as if it's something completely different than that,
I think is stupid. I just don't think it makes
any sense whatsoever. And I think you got to tread
lightly and not step in it when you're thinking about
doing that and reacting that way. This is my two cents,
But feel free to check in on that or anything else.
We will get to ball along the way. I do
(14:57):
have what I think is a good suggestion WNBA. And
also Breeze outrageous food takes outrageous, unbelievable she was doing
so well goth metal and then Briosh, it was just
hard left turn. Man. We'll get into that as well.
Looking forward to all that. Let's see coming up next exactly.
(15:19):
Oh oh, I want to change one word. Okay, I've
got a suggestion, just a suggestion. I think it's an
award winning suggestion. I think it could actually help a
league out a decent amount. I think it could be
a good change to make. So I want to throw
that out your way. See if you sign off on
my idea or not. We'll do that coming up. I'm

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Don't impress me much.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Some of my songs in the system they're like ghost buttons, right,
So it's like, oh, this is a song, but there's
no audio attached to it.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Uh huh, that's what happened with the last one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You must have really wanted to play this to remember,
you know, it's one of a you.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Know, one of the artists that we've bonded with.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, this doesn't sound like the original? Am I here?
Is my hearing wrong? Or why does it sound like
the new like sort of EDM version, you know what
I mean? Like it seems dressed up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Does it not? Okay, maybe it doesn't seem like the
original to me, is this the original? It sounds dressed
up a little bit. Well, it's the original.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I didn't realize it sounded like that. Wow, I have
no It sounds way poppier than the original to me,
sounded a lot more country.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Maybe I have it cranked up at full volume when
I listened to and that's a little quieter.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Maybe it is.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
That could have been it. That definitely could have been it.
Let me get to the militia here in a minute.
I do have an idea. Okay, I want you guys
to tell me if I'm onto something here. You think
I'm just, you know, stupid with this observation. So there
have been a couple of contracts in the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Bear with me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's another WNBA thing. But I'll make it quick and
painless and you might even agree with me. So Asia
Wilson with the Las Vegas Aces, she's fantastic. She just
signed a three year, five million dollar Supermax contract. Three years,
five million dollars Supermax. Okay, the FISA Collier. There was
(18:35):
news on Thursday night She's staying with the Minnesota Lynx,
a one point four million dollar supermax deal, one year,
one point four million dollars Supermax. I think the WNBA
needs to avoid using that word supermax. That's not smart
(18:59):
at all. Now follow me on this one.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Celtic star Jason Tatum, he signed a three hundred and
fifteen million dollar super max contract. Okay, now that's a supermax. Okay,
one point four million dollars Supermax.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Like, The point is, you don't want to make your
own league seem small, Just don't do that. Here's my idea. Okay,
And I'm not expecting the WNBA to have the same
amount of money that the NBA has. The NBA has
had far more years to grow the game, grow the money.
(19:44):
It's a work in progress with the WNB. They're making
significant strides. But no one in their right mind would
expect the WNBA to be on the same level as
the NBA. Ratings wise, financially, attendance, all that stuff, TV ratings,
all of that.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Okay, I'm not This is the thought.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Isn't to like hammer the WNBA for not being on
the same level.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
That would be a stupid takeaway.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
The takeaway is when someone hears super max contract, they're
used to hearing numbers in the high two hundred million
dollar range the three hundred million dollar range.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
There's been a.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Lot of super Max contracts in the in the NBA.
So when you hear the WNBA, Nafisa Collier, who's magnificent,
one of the faces of the league, one point four
million dollars Supermax deal.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Like, that's just just a punchline. It's a joke.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
There are comments left and right on X where it's
like Supermax. I fell over when I heard that. You
just don't want to put yourself in that position. If
you're the W and WNBA. Here's my thought, here's what
I think they should use instead. Okay, you tell me
if you think I'm ridiculous or not. Premiere Premiere contract,
(21:05):
different terminology. It doesn't have the same takeaway when you
if if I if the headline is the real headline.
Let's just doctor it a little bit. Sources the FISA
Collier signs with links on a one point four million
dollar premiere contract. I think that lands so much better.
You don't have the takeaway of super Max.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh at one point four super.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Mas, Wow, you don't have that. That's better for the
w NBA, is it not?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I tell that's what you're saying. That makes perfect sense.
Thank you don't highlight how small your league is. Yes, right, you're.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You're putting a gigantic spotlight on We don't have hardly
any money.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
I mean that's pennies compared to those other contracts that
you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yes, yes, why would you use the same terminologies.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Especially why to highlight how much your league is growing?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yes, exactly, that's right, And instead you're using the same
terminology service.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's not good, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Not smart, and just bake up a word that it
means the same thing as Supermax. But you're not saying Supermax.
It lands totally differently.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
What about Wumbo Jumbo kid? Okay, let's try it.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Asia Wilson, the WNBA's first four time MVP, has signed
a three year, five million dollar Wumbo Jumbo contracts.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wow, what do you think? I mean, I think it's
better than Supermax.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I think you could throw out almost anything but Supermax
and it would be an improvement. My idea is Premiere
Lorraina goes with Wumbo Jumbo. I think either way you
got a winner right there. You got anything, Brie, You're
throw out a phrase, a catchword. What do you think
up to the top of your head.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I was just gonna say, when has the w NBA
actually ever like followed through with being smart with their
any business and financial and verbiage communication decisions. So what
expectations do you really have when it comes to them
actually like being very you know, thoughtful about what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So, well, hey, that's true, that's absolutely true. But it's
it's a new day, it's a new dawn.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
It's a new day.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We we gotta correct some stuff over here. They've stepped
in it before in the past. It's all about the
here and now it's about the future. We gotta we
gotta tighten some screws around here, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
So it's make a good decision something.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, but get away from super max that it's horrible terminology.
It just turns your league into a punchline. Why would
you do that to yourself?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Like, at least the the NBA, And it took some time,
but they've tried to really hammer home that that ownership
owners or they don't refer to them as owners, they
refer to them as governors. Right.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
A lot of people think that's.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Stupid, but they've they've tried to hammer that home for
a number of years. It's like trying to turn, like
change the terminology. It's not gonna be like a snap
of the fingers and everybody falls in line. But if
I'm the WNBA, I would make it abundantly clear. I
would actually put it in my CBA. I'd be like,
that's the actual terminology the media would follow if the
(24:30):
media work up, Sorry, if the WNBA worked with their
media partners of like, listen, ESPN, here's what we're trying
to do. Okay, when we say super max, it sounds
like a joke because the FISA Collier signs.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
For one point four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
People are used to hearing Jason Tatum signing for three
hundred and fifteen million dollars. Okay, so we're not gonna
use Supermax. We're gonna go get away from that terminology.
We're gonna create something different. We're just gonna call it
a premier deal. It means the same thing, but it
sounds different, it lands differently. So we'd appreciate it if
you just when you put it out, there's a premier deal.
(25:05):
It's in our CBA. That's what it's actually referred to
as NBA has a supermax deal.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We don't have that.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We have a premiere contract, Like that's basically a max deal,
but we're not saying max because it makes it sound
like small potatoes, cool cool way better, way, better approach
night and day, better than using the same terminology, Like
you could play games with what what percentage is one
point four million dollars of you know, three hundred and
(25:35):
fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't know how to find that out. I have
to google things. It would be a whole thing. I
can't find it on the fly. But it's like, I
don't know, in the neighborhood of two hundred and seventy
percent less or something just insanely crazy, like why why
would you do that?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You just sounds small. It's not smart, not smart at all.
All right, let me get out to the phones.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Here the militias lined up. They want to check in.
I believe my guy James and Tacoma is out there.
I want to hear what James has to say. What's
going on, James, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you saw
what happened, bellas Baltimore last night baseball game between Baltimore
and Cleveland. But Baltimore was behind ninth inning four to
zero and the picture for Cleveland had no hitter going
through eighties. Yeah, go to Baltimore home crowd with Baltimore,
they turned against their own team. They started cheering for
(26:28):
the Cleveland picture because they wanted to win this of
no hitter in person. Yeah, So by christer for you,
have you ever turned against your own team if opportunity
to with this history being made in person?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Wow, it's a great question, James, that really and I
saw what you're talking about. Just like to put a
bow on what you're talking about. So the Cleveland picture,
he's trying to he's trying to get a no hitter
for the first time forever. Right, I think they're the
last They're the longest drought. Now now is the Cleveland
Guardians now since their last no hitter, it's been forever.
(27:05):
And exactly he didn't get it done, you know, he
gave up a hit, and then Baltimore made it interesting. Right,
they had they scored two runs, they had two runners
on base, and it looked like they're maybe gonna get
a base hit and tie the thing up, and the
second baseman made a nice play and the Guardians won
the game. But that's a brilliant question. I no, man,
(27:27):
I can't think off the top of my head. I'll
put it this way. I'm a Saint Louis Cardinals fan.
We'll keep it with baseball, especially baseball. If if my
team was pretty much out of contention, I would think
in the ninth inning, James, if my team were down
four to nothing, right and I had a chance to
(27:49):
see a no hitter. And there are other dynamics like,
for instance, this year, the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Are going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Okay, if I were in at ten, what I like,
you said, turn on my team, I really wouldn't even
look at it like that. I'd be like, I'm a
fan of baseball and not just a fan of the
Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I would like to see history being made. I probably
would and that in that scenario.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yet, now, if this is a a arrive like I
hate the Chicago Cubs, I do no way I would
ever root for them ever ever ever like being in
attendancying history.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
No, I'm rooting against you every single time.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Sorry, so I have limits and if this is an
important game, Saint Louis needs to win it. You know,
they're they're in a Pennant chase like no way no,
but in a lost season where they're really going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, I would, would you Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
I would?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
No, good stuff, great question, James, very good.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I like that. I like how you put that. Would
you turn on your on your team?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
You know I I I disagreed with my guy, Arnie,
Arnie Spanier. Arnie does a great job. I call him
chef boy Arnie. That's my silly nickname for Arnie. But
Arnie's a great dude. I visited him in Vermont with
my World travels, went to his place, you know, watch
hoops with Arnie's an awesome dude, awesome, awesome guy. And
(29:21):
we disagreed on one thing. He was hammering the Saint
Louis Cardinals for cheering Albert Pooholes. So Albert Pooholes was
a member of the Angels at the time, and he
was back in Saint Louis, and Saint Louis gave him
a crazy ovation.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You can imagine, right, this is Albert.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Pooholes, like three time NLMVP, the first ten seasons, he's
averaging a three hundred batting average, thirty home runs, one
hundred RBIs just like clockwork, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
All time cardinal great one rings.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He's got numerous championships, right like, And he goes back
to Saint Louis and the Saint Louis fans cheer him
like crazy, and Arnie was just like, oh, you're turning
on your team.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
What do you doing?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
What?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I thought he was freaking crazy. I still think he's crazy.
You could absolutely cheer a former player who starred for
your team. You're just showing appreciation for the guy. You're
not turning on your team and saying, go Angel, screw
the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
You're not saying that at all.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
But yeah, some fans they look at it like that.
They get really territorial. But that's an awesome question by James.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I put it like this, If it.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
If it put my team at a disadvantage, then no,
I wouldn't do that. But if it really didn't put
my team at a disadvantage, would I root for another
team to do something historic against my favorite team?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I would.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I would do that.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I think baseball lends itself to that more than any
sport think about that. You got one hundred and sixty
two games, you know what I mean, Like you drop
a game in April, there's so much runway right left
to go to make that up, Like, oh yeah, it's yeah.
You got a chance to see a no hitter. I'd
(31:26):
say a perfect game. Perfect game is almost a no brainer.
You've got like twenty five ish of those in MLB history.
You got a chance to witness a perfect game.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
And you turn that down. Like I'd be like, you know,
if I'm not outright going like.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Come on, guy, let's go get get another out against
my favorite team, internally, I'd be like, I kind of
hope he gets another out here. It was amazing what's
going on here. It's a great question by James. Really
good stuff. Yeah, shame on me. My job as a
show host, I should be coming up with stuff like that. Instead,
I've I've got, you know, premiere contract for the w NBA.
(32:07):
That's what I brought to the table here tonight, man,
small potatoes compared to James. James brought his a game here.
You know, he's crushing it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Very nice. Let me go to Cardiac Stanley.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
He's been hanging with me from Ohio, I appreciate your
basient's Cardiac Stanley, what's on your mind these early morning hours.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
I wouldn't do that, but if it really didn't put
my team at a disadvantage of what I root for
another team to do something historic against my favorite team.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Is, I would Yeah, yeah, I would do that.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
I think baseball and as to that, more than any sport.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
To think about.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
You got one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Me, oh, cardiac Stanley's replaying.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I was agreeing with myself until I realized it's me.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, Like I like, yeah, yeah, you got a chance,
you know hit, I.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Say, a perfect game, perfect games, almost no break.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That's still me.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
That's the most random call ever. I mean, like, hold on,
pot it back up. Let me try to disagree with myself.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
And you turn that down.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Now.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I would turn that down. I would no.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Outright going like come on, yeah, you sound ridiculous, right,
come Like, I kind.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Of hope you get this mother round here.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
No, I wouldn't be hoping.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
No, that's good stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
I didn't think it was that great of a questions.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
My job as a show MoES, I should be coming
up with stuff like that. Instead, I've got I did fine.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I did. I brought premiere contract to the table. I
think that's fine.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You know, I brought the crazy story to the table
about the dude impersonating NFL players.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I was strong.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
You know, I'm gonna have to disagree with myself. I
do think I brought it tonight. Who here's the question, though,
who who calls in.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
To just play audio of the host? I didn't even
know that was happening. For like ten seconds. I was like,
I didn't either.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
I didn't either, And I'm like, wait a minute, that
sounds strangely familiar. What how do I know this voice?
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's me. That's what's happening.
That's kind of odd.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
H that's a new one right there. No one's ever
done that.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Had We have a wide range of callers over the years,
man wide range.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
The most random.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Oh, I'll tell you one of my most random stories.
I gotta tell you one of my most random stories.
Happened in Portland. Okay, do I have time for this
now or should.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
I do it on the other side and a half minutes?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Ki, okay, all right, Well, first thought, let me pay
us pay some bills right here. Huh, For over forty years,
Tire has been helping customers find the right tires or how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rec dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. Okay, here's my story. So he's doing
radio in Portland and we had this event. It was
(35:15):
like the NBA Draft or something. So some other guys
were doing their show there. So I went there and
just hung out, just hanging out watching my co workers
do their show.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And this girl walks into me from behind.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Oh I'm just standing there like, you know, against the wall,
and this girl just boomed, like just nailed, like walks
into me from behind, and I kind of looked at
her and I was like, what was that about?
Speaker 8 (35:44):
You know?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And so after the show ends, I see this girl
and she's there and we were just talking.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
She's there with her brother, I believe.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And it turns out they told me they were big
Philadelphia Eagles fans and they were upset that. I said,
the Eagles who had just won a Super Bowl. This
is like the Nick Foles Super Bowl. They beat the Patriots,
And I said the next season, they wouldn't even make
the playoffs. And they were mad about my prediction that
(36:19):
they wouldn't make the playoffs. And so what they did,
her brother was recording this whole thing. He's recording his
sister walking into me because they're upset about my prediction,
and they were trying to bait me. Now, they were
trying to bait me into whatever, doing something inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like yelling at her. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Yeah, they're trying to set a bear trap that I
did not walk into because they were mad about an
Eagles prediction of mine. And I was like, you guys
are psychotic. You're psychotic right now, that's crazy. What's wrong
with you guys?
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It's a prediction? Who cares? Yeah, And they took it
to that level.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
So I've had some random experiences, but I've never had
an experience where someone replayed my own sports takes from
like five minutes prior.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
That's a new one. Man, he's gonna replay it when
he goes to bed. He might, yeah, he might.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Hey, right after the show, our podcast will be going up.

(38:45):
so let me pay off the sports thingy and I'll
get to my horrible singing voice. I can't believe that
with the Clippers losing, that means that the Clippers are
in the lottery, which actually means the Oklahoma City Thunder
are in the draft lottery because Okasee owns the Clippers pick.
(39:06):
Can you imagine the Thunder, who are already loaded, who
might win another championship. Can you imagine them getting a
top ten pick or higher, top five, you know, top three.
The Dallas Mavericks had hardly any chance whatsoever to have
the number one overall pick.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
They got it last season.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
If what if OKC did that? Can you imagine them
winning a title and then getting.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
The number one overall pick.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's insane. But I was telling the girls. I was
telling Lorena and Brie off the air. I I was, uh, well,
I've singing the Turbo tax song because Lorena has issues
going on. She's sorting out with taxes. And Lorena complimented me.
She lied to me and said I had a great
angelic type voice, which I appreciate, but it's completely wrong.
(39:56):
And I told her I sang a karaoke song one
time with this girl I know from New York. Yeah,
it was that that did the kid rock first.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I was off to drink you away.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I did that like that thing. Yeah, And so she
did her part. And as I'm singing, it's just one
note the whole time.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
I have no range.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I'm like, I put your picture away. I'm hearing it
from the loudspeakers. I'm like, this is awful. I have
no ability to go up or down. You get one note,
man like whatever it was, it's a solid B note.
That's it I got you. I give you a B note.
That's all I got. It's all I have, my arsenal,
it's pathetic. All right, We get back to ball, right
around the corner.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh, what's going on, Militia, Welcome in Ball on the brain.
More football to get to. We do have some hot
food takes. I don't know about this Brianna Muro girl.
I don't know what's going on with her. So she
she hit me with goth metal for a second. I'm like,
pre coming up, coming up in the world here, and
(00:49):
then she hit me with she uses briosh for her
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and she puts peanut butter
on both sides. I'm like, Bri, Bri, Bri. The The
overall Q rating is plummeting right now. What is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So we'll get to that in a little bit here.
I do want to say this, so I ran across
the story today. Actually, I want to give the Schwartz
Syndicate a shout out. So, Jeff Schwartz, guy work with
on Sunday mornings.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Check it out.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Countdown early morning militia. I know it's early wake up
call Sunday mornings. It'll be what nine to noon Eastern time.
You gotta do the math from there if you're a
central Mountain Pacific time. But I work with the Schwartz Syndicate.
Great dude, And he texted me today and it was
just a portion of a press conference. So like full disclosure,
(01:42):
Jeff and I geek out on the WNBA. We're degenerates.
We bet the WNBA like crazy. I watch a lot
of WNBA games. I'm not ashamed at all. I was
doing some fill in radio with my guy Jason Martin
last year and I told him I watched WNBA the time.
He thought I was kidding. He thought I was just
joking around. I'm like, no, I really watched games left
(02:05):
and right. So I'm a fan of the league. I
love basketball. No shame in my game. I will watch
And so Jeff he sent me this video. So this
is asy Fudd. Asy Fudd was the number one overall
pick by the Dallas Wings. Now she is in a
relationship with Pagebackers. They're a couple. So Page Beckers was
(02:29):
the number one overall pick the previous season with the
Dallas Wings, and she crushed it. She had a great
rookie season. And now this year, asy Fudd was the
number one overall pick. So now they're teammates. And so
Jeff sent me this, this link of a video. It
(02:49):
was basically a tweet, you know, like a link to
this tweet. And so this was asy Fudd. She had
just been picked number one overall, and this was one
of the questions that she received in the press conference.
So listen to this and we'll take it from there.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Page announced last year on TikTok that y'all were a couple,
and I'm wondering if that is still the case, and
if so, if y'all have talked to any other couples
in the league about how they negotiate that dynamic as
pro teammates.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I understand why you have to ask that question, but
we're going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players'
personal lives.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The next question. Okay, so it was shut down.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The PR person was just like, yeah, thanks, we won't
be addressing that at all, So let's move it along
and keep it on basketball.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Which I get, totally understand that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I totally understand how the Dallas Wings wouldn't want to
make things all about the relationship between Page Beckers and
their newest number one overall pick Easy Fud for obvious reasons.
They If Easy answers that question, there are going to
be fifty more questions about the relationship the Dynamics. It's
(03:57):
never going to end. There's always going to be a
question about that. It's going to lead into the regular season.
You know, Azy Fudd has a bad game. You know
Pagebackers looked a little bit miffed at one time in
the game. Is everything okay? They just don't want to
go down that road. Totally understandable in my brain.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
But the thing that's interesting with this whole thing, So
this the original tweet from the Sporting News. It's got
nearly eight million views, Okay, and it just says a
reporter asked Azy Fudd about her relationship with Page Beckers,
but the Wings media team said they won't be commenting
(04:37):
on their players' personal lives. Almost probably has eight million
views by now, I bet it does. I think I
could let me let me try the link. I'm just
curious if it's gotten to eight. It might be closer
to nine at this point, but that's crazy the amount
of views this has got, the attention it's gotten. Yeah,
we're at nine million views now. It was seven point
eight like a couple hours ago. It's crazy. So it's
(04:59):
got a ton of traction, and so the comments, like
people will quote tweet this and write whatever they write.
They'll respond to the Sporting News original tweet, and so
one that caught my attention Ashley Nicole Moss. So Ashley,
she's a basketball analyst. She's also a sideline reporter for
(05:21):
CBS Sports, and her tweet got some traction. She just wrote,
it's weird and gossipy as hell that people keep asking
about her about Page asking Azy Fudd about Page posting
about her, and Page Page already got drafted.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
They're not conjoined twins. That was her tweet. So the
first part of this, this is what I texted Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's not weird and gossipy as hell for people to
ask Asy Fudd about Page Beckers. There are a million
fair questions that you could ask, and it might be
a little bit awkward to ask questions about a relationship
and how it might impact the team, you know, the
(06:06):
business of the Dallas Wings. But those are even though
it might be a little bit awkward and a little
bit odd, those are fair questions. What happens if you
know the relationship isn't working out, What happens if they
break up their teammates? You tell me that can't be
a thing. Potentially in the lack of course it could.
(06:27):
But the other part of this is there are a
ton of tweets of like, this is just so inappropriate.
It's not even a basketball question. Why would anybody be
asking anything related to their relationship? And then you get
these like this, this would never happen in a male sport,
that sort of thing, and it's like, look, not everything
(06:47):
is sexist. And I got news for you. Anybody who
thinks that if Joe Burrow announced that he's dating wide
receiver Jamar Chase, there would be questions.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There would be a million questions.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, this is not just a sexist thing, like, oh,
there's this female couple.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Now they're teammates.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, let's just pry and be gossipy and let's just
be weird as hell as Nicole as Ashley wrote there,
it's like, it's not that there are questions about actual
basketball the impact of the team, and the same thing
would happen.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Believe me, in male sports.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
This is not I don't know, just like making something
out of nothing, or being weird or being gossipy. Some
of these are fair questions. They are fair questions, and
I just think there's a tendency for that to happen
sometimes in female sports. It happened just a couple of
days ago after the WNBA Draft. So the WNBA commissioner,
(07:50):
Kathy Engelbert, she was asked after the first round of draft, hey,
how long are you thinking about doing this' phrasing? You know,
like there was a lot recently. The FISA Collier is
one of the best players in the WNBA. The FISA
Collier was calling the commissioner out and again I'll paraphrase
(08:14):
where she was like, she basically sucks at her job.
She's bad at her job, she should not have her
job as basically what we're one of the best players
in the WNBA was saying. So to ask Kathy Engelbert, hey,
you know there was some static going on in the
off season how long do you see yourself being the
(08:36):
commissioner of the WNBA?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Totally fair question, and she.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Literally said, she was like, I don't know if you
would ask a male commissioner the same thing. It's like, really,
you've had Goodell asked that numerous times throughout the years.
You've had Gary Bettman face those same questions. You've had
Rob Manfred face those same questions. So to a immediately
(09:00):
go to the sexist card of like whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're asking me this? Are you asking the men this? Yes,
actually they are. They're asking the men that even more
often than the female commissioner in this situation here. So
not everything is sexist, Not everything is a witch hunt.
Not everything is like hey, let's like what make fun
(09:24):
of a female sport?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It doesn't always rise to that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And look, I understand why some people would be very
cynical and some people would wonder like whoa, like where's
this coming from? Or yeah, is this equal and men's
sports compared to female sports? But if you really walk
down that road and you're objective about this, Kathy Engelbert
(09:50):
is not the only commissioner who's faced questions about, hey,
how long do you see yourself doing this job. How
long do you think you're gonna have this gig? How
long do you want to have this gig that happens constantly.
It's happened year after year after year to Goodell, Bettman, Manfred.
So it's not a sexist thing, man, and the thing
(10:12):
with you know, I'll meet you halfway. For anybody who
sees things differently, I think there are plenty of inappropriate
questions that a reporter could ask Easy Fudd or could
ask Paige Beckers about the dynamics of their relationship. The
question that I played was kind of weird, where it's like, hey,
(10:34):
have you basically sought advice from other players who are
couples around the league? Like who would do that? That's
just kind of an odd question. So there certainly are
odd questions to ask because I make it like, what's
the equivalent of that of let's say I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Let's say I have a brand.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
New relationship, which is not true, but let's just say
I did and I don't. Like there was a member
of the militia who called in like, hey, did you
did you ask other couples questions about the dynamics of
their relationship that could be helpful toward the dynamics of
your relationship and be like.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's a freaking weird question.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, I haven't asked anybody anything, you know, I'm just
living life.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
We're just trying to be a good couple together. Like,
it's just an odd question.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So certainly there are odd questions that can be asked,
But it doesn't mean that everything is weird and gossipy automatically.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
It just doesn't mean that.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And so I don't know, man, I just think there's
a quick trigger finger where you know, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa?
Not any question is fair whatsoever. It's like, no, there
are there are a lot of fair questions to ask
about a dynamic like this. There are two players who
are a couple. What happened if the relationship goes south?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
What?
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Then?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That could be a thing like how strong is this relationship?
That could be important.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Would easy Fund have been the number one overall pick
had they not been in a relationship?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
That could be a something that maybe you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Want to ask per se, but it is a fair
question to just even wonder about. So not everything rises
to oh, you're only thinking these things because you're a
raging sexist.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's not the case.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
So I don't know, man, I just think that sometimes
something seems a lot more sinister than it really is.
That's just the bottom line, But that's how I see it.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number?
Do you have any thoughts on that? Being interested to
hear it? But I just think that, Look, man, I
(12:57):
want the WNBA to do well. I want the WNBA
to be successful.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I like the league.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I watch it a lot. I want them to grow.
I want them to flourish, you know. I want it
to be a very successful league. I love basketball, so
I'm definitely not rooting against it. But I think you
can really really turn off fans when you play a
card that is just it's not correct. You know, it's
(13:29):
just not the case. And if you immediately go to
the uh, whoa are you asking the male commissioners how
long they're planning on staying with their jobs?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Here?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Are you doing that? It's like, yeah, actually they are.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They're doing that a lot in fact, you know, So
when you play that card inappropriately, I think it can
turn a lot of people off, Like, you know what,
this is just drama.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
This is just like.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You know, it turns into that real fast. I think
you got to guard against that. I think you had
to be careful about that. And there are some WNBA
gatekeepers where it's like you don't realize you're actually damaging
the product by being this gatekeeper this.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
I'm gonna shout for what's right and they.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Need to be treated this way. And it's like, that's
not even what's going on right here. It's a sports question.
It's a sports question, that's it. It's not about you know,
prying into a like a lesbian relationship. It's not anti gay,
it's not anything like that. It is about sports, like
(14:36):
that's that's.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
What it is.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So to react as if it's something completely different than that,
I think is stupid. I just don't think it makes
any sense whatsoever. And I think you got to tread
lightly and not step in it when you're thinking about
doing that and reacting that way. This is my two cents,
But feel free to check in on that or anything else.
We will get to ball along the way. I do
(14:57):
have what I think is a good suggestion WNBA. And
also Breeze outrageous food takes outrageous, unbelievable she was doing
so well goth metal and then Briosh, it was just
hard left turn. Man. We'll get into that as well.
Looking forward to all that. Let's see coming up next exactly.
(15:19):
Oh oh, I want to change one word. Okay, I've
got a suggestion, just a suggestion. I think it's an
award winning suggestion. I think it could actually help a
league out a decent amount. I think it could be
a good change to make. So I want to throw
that out your way. See if you sign off on
my idea or not. We'll do that coming up. I'm

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Don't impress me much.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Some of my songs in the system they're like ghost buttons, right,
So it's like, oh, this is a song, but there's
no audio attached to it.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Uh huh, that's what happened with the last one.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You must have really wanted to play this to remember,
you know, it's one of a you.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Know, one of the artists that we've bonded with.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, this doesn't sound like the original? Am I here?
Is my hearing wrong? Or why does it sound like
the new like sort of EDM version, you know what
I mean? Like it seems dressed up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Does it not? Okay, maybe it doesn't seem like the
original to me, is this the original? It sounds dressed
up a little bit. Well, it's the original.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I didn't realize it sounded like that. Wow, I have
no It sounds way poppier than the original to me,
sounded a lot more country.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Maybe I have it cranked up at full volume when
I listened to and that's a little quieter.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Maybe it is.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
That could have been it. That definitely could have been it.
Let me get to the militia here in a minute.
I do have an idea. Okay, I want you guys
to tell me if I'm onto something here. You think
I'm just, you know, stupid with this observation. So there
have been a couple of contracts in the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Bear with me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's another WNBA thing. But I'll make it quick and
painless and you might even agree with me. So Asia
Wilson with the Las Vegas Aces, she's fantastic. She just
signed a three year, five million dollar Supermax contract. Three years,
five million dollars Supermax. Okay, the FISA Collier. There was
(18:35):
news on Thursday night She's staying with the Minnesota Lynx,
a one point four million dollar supermax deal, one year,
one point four million dollars Supermax. I think the WNBA
needs to avoid using that word supermax. That's not smart
(18:59):
at all. Now follow me on this one.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Celtic star Jason Tatum, he signed a three hundred and
fifteen million dollar super max contract. Okay, now that's a supermax. Okay,
one point four million dollars Supermax.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Like, The point is, you don't want to make your
own league seem small, Just don't do that. Here's my idea. Okay,
And I'm not expecting the WNBA to have the same
amount of money that the NBA has. The NBA has
had far more years to grow the game, grow the money.
(19:44):
It's a work in progress with the WNB. They're making
significant strides. But no one in their right mind would
expect the WNBA to be on the same level as
the NBA. Ratings wise, financially, attendance, all that stuff, TV ratings,
all of that.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Okay, I'm not This is the thought.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Isn't to like hammer the WNBA for not being on
the same level.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
That would be a stupid takeaway.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
The takeaway is when someone hears super max contract, they're
used to hearing numbers in the high two hundred million
dollar range the three hundred million dollar range.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
There's been a.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Lot of super Max contracts in the in the NBA.
So when you hear the WNBA, Nafisa Collier, who's magnificent,
one of the faces of the league, one point four
million dollars Supermax deal.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Like, that's just just a punchline. It's a joke.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
There are comments left and right on X where it's
like Supermax. I fell over when I heard that. You
just don't want to put yourself in that position. If
you're the W and WNBA. Here's my thought, here's what
I think they should use instead. Okay, you tell me
if you think I'm ridiculous or not. Premiere Premiere contract,
(21:05):
different terminology. It doesn't have the same takeaway when you
if if I if the headline is the real headline.
Let's just doctor it a little bit. Sources the FISA
Collier signs with links on a one point four million
dollar premiere contract. I think that lands so much better.
You don't have the takeaway of super Max.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh at one point four super.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Mas, Wow, you don't have that. That's better for the
w NBA, is it not?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I tell that's what you're saying. That makes perfect sense.
Thank you don't highlight how small your league is. Yes, right, you're.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You're putting a gigantic spotlight on We don't have hardly
any money.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
I mean that's pennies compared to those other contracts that
you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yes, yes, why would you use the same terminologies.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Especially why to highlight how much your league is growing?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yes, exactly, that's right, And instead you're using the same
terminology service.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's not good, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Not smart, and just bake up a word that it
means the same thing as Supermax. But you're not saying Supermax.
It lands totally differently.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
What about Wumbo Jumbo kid? Okay, let's try it.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Asia Wilson, the WNBA's first four time MVP, has signed
a three year, five million dollar Wumbo Jumbo contracts.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wow, what do you think? I mean, I think it's
better than Supermax.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I think you could throw out almost anything but Supermax
and it would be an improvement. My idea is Premiere
Lorraina goes with Wumbo Jumbo. I think either way you
got a winner right there. You got anything, Brie, You're
throw out a phrase, a catchword. What do you think
up to the top of your head.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I was just gonna say, when has the w NBA
actually ever like followed through with being smart with their
any business and financial and verbiage communication decisions. So what
expectations do you really have when it comes to them
actually like being very you know, thoughtful about what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So, well, hey, that's true, that's absolutely true. But it's
it's a new day, it's a new dawn.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
It's a new day.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We we gotta correct some stuff over here. They've stepped
in it before in the past. It's all about the
here and now it's about the future. We gotta we
gotta tighten some screws around here, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
So it's make a good decision something.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, but get away from super max that it's horrible terminology.
It just turns your league into a punchline. Why would
you do that to yourself?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Like, at least the the NBA, And it took some time,
but they've tried to really hammer home that that ownership
owners or they don't refer to them as owners, they
refer to them as governors. Right.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
A lot of people think that's.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Stupid, but they've they've tried to hammer that home for
a number of years. It's like trying to turn, like
change the terminology. It's not gonna be like a snap
of the fingers and everybody falls in line. But if
I'm the WNBA, I would make it abundantly clear. I
would actually put it in my CBA. I'd be like,
that's the actual terminology the media would follow if the
(24:30):
media work up, Sorry, if the WNBA worked with their
media partners of like, listen, ESPN, here's what we're trying
to do. Okay, when we say super max, it sounds
like a joke because the FISA Collier signs.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
For one point four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
People are used to hearing Jason Tatum signing for three
hundred and fifteen million dollars. Okay, so we're not gonna
use Supermax. We're gonna go get away from that terminology.
We're gonna create something different. We're just gonna call it
a premier deal. It means the same thing, but it
sounds different, it lands differently. So we'd appreciate it if
you just when you put it out, there's a premier deal.
(25:05):
It's in our CBA. That's what it's actually referred to
as NBA has a supermax deal.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We don't have that.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We have a premiere contract, Like that's basically a max deal,
but we're not saying max because it makes it sound
like small potatoes, cool cool way better, way, better approach
night and day, better than using the same terminology, Like
you could play games with what what percentage is one
point four million dollars of you know, three hundred and
(25:35):
fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't know how to find that out. I have
to google things. It would be a whole thing. I
can't find it on the fly. But it's like, I
don't know, in the neighborhood of two hundred and seventy
percent less or something just insanely crazy, like why why
would you do that?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You just sounds small. It's not smart, not smart at all.
All right, let me get out to the phones.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Here the militias lined up. They want to check in.
I believe my guy James and Tacoma is out there.
I want to hear what James has to say. What's
going on, James, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you saw
what happened, bellas Baltimore last night baseball game between Baltimore
and Cleveland. But Baltimore was behind ninth inning four to
zero and the picture for Cleveland had no hitter going
through eighties. Yeah, go to Baltimore home crowd with Baltimore,
they turned against their own team. They started cheering for
(26:28):
the Cleveland picture because they wanted to win this of
no hitter in person. Yeah, So by christer for you,
have you ever turned against your own team if opportunity
to with this history being made in person?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Wow, it's a great question, James, that really and I
saw what you're talking about. Just like to put a
bow on what you're talking about. So the Cleveland picture,
he's trying to he's trying to get a no hitter
for the first time forever. Right, I think they're the
last They're the longest drought. Now now is the Cleveland
Guardians now since their last no hitter, it's been forever.
(27:05):
And exactly he didn't get it done, you know, he
gave up a hit, and then Baltimore made it interesting. Right,
they had they scored two runs, they had two runners
on base, and it looked like they're maybe gonna get
a base hit and tie the thing up, and the
second baseman made a nice play and the Guardians won
the game. But that's a brilliant question. I no, man,
(27:27):
I can't think off the top of my head. I'll
put it this way. I'm a Saint Louis Cardinals fan.
We'll keep it with baseball, especially baseball. If if my
team was pretty much out of contention, I would think
in the ninth inning, James, if my team were down
four to nothing, right and I had a chance to
(27:49):
see a no hitter. And there are other dynamics like,
for instance, this year, the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Are going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Okay, if I were in at ten, what I like,
you said, turn on my team, I really wouldn't even
look at it like that. I'd be like, I'm a
fan of baseball and not just a fan of the
Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I would like to see history being made. I probably
would and that in that scenario.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yet, now, if this is a a arrive like I
hate the Chicago Cubs, I do no way I would
ever root for them ever ever ever like being in
attendancying history.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
No, I'm rooting against you every single time.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Sorry, so I have limits and if this is an
important game, Saint Louis needs to win it. You know,
they're they're in a Pennant chase like no way no,
but in a lost season where they're really going nowhere.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, I would, would you Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
I would?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
No, good stuff, great question, James, very good.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I like that. I like how you put that. Would
you turn on your on your team?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
You know I I I disagreed with my guy, Arnie,
Arnie Spanier. Arnie does a great job. I call him
chef boy Arnie. That's my silly nickname for Arnie. But
Arnie's a great dude. I visited him in Vermont with
my World travels, went to his place, you know, watch
hoops with Arnie's an awesome dude, awesome, awesome guy. And
(29:21):
we disagreed on one thing. He was hammering the Saint
Louis Cardinals for cheering Albert Pooholes. So Albert Pooholes was
a member of the Angels at the time, and he
was back in Saint Louis, and Saint Louis gave him
a crazy ovation.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
You can imagine, right, this is Albert.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Pooholes, like three time NLMVP, the first ten seasons, he's
averaging a three hundred batting average, thirty home runs, one
hundred RBIs just like clockwork, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
All time cardinal great one rings.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He's got numerous championships, right like, And he goes back
to Saint Louis and the Saint Louis fans cheer him
like crazy, and Arnie was just like, oh, you're turning
on your team.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
What do you doing?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
What?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I thought he was freaking crazy. I still think he's crazy.
You could absolutely cheer a former player who starred for
your team. You're just showing appreciation for the guy. You're
not turning on your team and saying, go Angel, screw
the Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
You're not saying that at all.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
But yeah, some fans they look at it like that.
They get really territorial. But that's an awesome question by James.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I put it like this, If it.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
If it put my team at a disadvantage, then no,
I wouldn't do that. But if it really didn't put
my team at a disadvantage, would I root for another
team to do something historic against my favorite team?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I would.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I would do that.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I think baseball lends itself to that more than any
sport think about that. You got one hundred and sixty
two games, you know what I mean, Like you drop
a game in April, there's so much runway right left
to go to make that up, Like, oh yeah, it's yeah.
You got a chance to see a no hitter. I'd
(31:26):
say a perfect game. Perfect game is almost a no brainer.
You've got like twenty five ish of those in MLB history.
You got a chance to witness a perfect game.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
And you turn that down. Like I'd be like, you know,
if I'm not outright going like.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Come on, guy, let's go get get another out against
my favorite team, internally, I'd be like, I kind of
hope he gets another out here. It was amazing what's
going on here. It's a great question by James. Really
good stuff. Yeah, shame on me. My job as a
show host, I should be coming up with stuff like that. Instead,
I've I've got, you know, premiere contract for the w NBA.
(32:07):
That's what I brought to the table here tonight, man,
small potatoes compared to James. James brought his a game here.
You know, he's crushing it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Very nice. Let me go to Cardiac Stanley.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
He's been hanging with me from Ohio, I appreciate your
basient's Cardiac Stanley, what's on your mind these early morning hours.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
I wouldn't do that, but if it really didn't put
my team at a disadvantage of what I root for
another team to do something historic against my favorite team.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Is, I would Yeah, yeah, I would do that.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
I think baseball and as to that, more than any sport.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
To think about.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
You got one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Me, oh, cardiac Stanley's replaying.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I was agreeing with myself until I realized it's me.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, Like I like, yeah, yeah, you got a chance,
you know hit, I.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Say, a perfect game, perfect games, almost no break.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That's still me.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
That's the most random call ever. I mean, like, hold on,
pot it back up. Let me try to disagree with myself.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
And you turn that down.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Now.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I would turn that down. I would no.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Outright going like come on, yeah, you sound ridiculous, right,
come Like, I kind.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Of hope you get this mother round here.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
No, I wouldn't be hoping.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
No, that's good stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
I didn't think it was that great of a questions.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
My job as a show MoES, I should be coming
up with stuff like that. Instead, I've got I did fine.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I did. I brought premiere contract to the table. I
think that's fine.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You know, I brought the crazy story to the table
about the dude impersonating NFL players.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I was strong.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
You know, I'm gonna have to disagree with myself. I
do think I brought it tonight. Who here's the question, though,
who who calls in.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
To just play audio of the host? I didn't even
know that was happening. For like ten seconds. I was like,
I didn't either.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
I didn't either, And I'm like, wait a minute, that
sounds strangely familiar. What how do I know this voice?
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's me. That's what's happening.
That's kind of odd.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
H that's a new one right there. No one's ever
done that.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Had We have a wide range of callers over the years,
man wide range.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
The most random.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Oh, I'll tell you one of my most random stories.
I gotta tell you one of my most random stories.
Happened in Portland. Okay, do I have time for this
now or should.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
I do it on the other side and a half minutes?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Ki, okay, all right, Well, first thought, let me pay
us pay some bills right here. Huh, For over forty years,
Tire has been helping customers find the right tires or how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rec dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. Okay, here's my story. So he's doing
radio in Portland and we had this event. It was
(35:15):
like the NBA Draft or something. So some other guys
were doing their show there. So I went there and
just hung out, just hanging out watching my co workers
do their show.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And this girl walks into me from behind.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Oh I'm just standing there like, you know, against the wall,
and this girl just boomed, like just nailed, like walks
into me from behind, and I kind of looked at
her and I was like, what was that about?
Speaker 8 (35:44):
You know?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And so after the show ends, I see this girl
and she's there and we were just talking.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
She's there with her brother, I believe.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And it turns out they told me they were big
Philadelphia Eagles fans and they were upset that. I said,
the Eagles who had just won a Super Bowl. This
is like the Nick Foles Super Bowl. They beat the Patriots,
And I said the next season, they wouldn't even make
the playoffs. And they were mad about my prediction that
(36:19):
they wouldn't make the playoffs. And so what they did,
her brother was recording this whole thing. He's recording his
sister walking into me because they're upset about my prediction,
and they were trying to bait me. Now, they were
trying to bait me into whatever, doing something inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like yelling at her. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Yeah, they're trying to set a bear trap that I
did not walk into because they were mad about an
Eagles prediction of mine. And I was like, you guys
are psychotic. You're psychotic right now, that's crazy. What's wrong
with you guys?
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It's a prediction? Who cares? Yeah, And they took it
to that level.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
So I've had some random experiences, but I've never had
an experience where someone replayed my own sports takes from
like five minutes prior.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
That's a new one. Man, he's gonna replay it when
he goes to bed. He might, yeah, he might.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (37:22):

Coming up next, we've got We've got an apology right

(38:02):
I can't believe this is even a thing, and we
have the Clippers to blame. I'll get to that coming up.

(38:45):
so let me pay off the sports thingy and I'll
get to my horrible singing voice. I can't believe that
with the Clippers losing, that means that the Clippers are
in the lottery, which actually means the Oklahoma City Thunder
are in the draft lottery because Okasee owns the Clippers pick.
(39:06):
Can you imagine the Thunder, who are already loaded, who
might win another championship. Can you imagine them getting a
top ten pick or higher, top five, you know, top three.
The Dallas Mavericks had hardly any chance whatsoever to have
the number one overall pick.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
They got it last season.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
If what if OKC did that? Can you imagine them
winning a title and then getting.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
The number one overall pick.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's insane. But I was telling the girls. I was
telling Lorena and Brie off the air. I I was, uh, well,
I've singing the Turbo tax song because Lorena has issues
going on. She's sorting out with taxes. And Lorena complimented me.
She lied to me and said I had a great
angelic type voice, which I appreciate, but it's completely wrong.
(39:56):
And I told her I sang a karaoke song one
time with this girl I know from New York. Yeah,
it was that that did the kid rock first.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I was off to drink you away.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I did that like that thing. Yeah, And so she
did her part. And as I'm singing, it's just one
note the whole time.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
I have no range.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I'm like, I put your picture away. I'm hearing it
from the loudspeakers. I'm like, this is awful. I have
no ability to go up or down. You get one note,
man like whatever it was, it's a solid B note.
That's it I got you. I give you a B note.
That's all I got. It's all I have, my arsenal,
it's pathetic. All right, We get back to ball, right
around the corner.
