(00:20):
in hour number four, how concerned is Roger Goodell and
the NFL legal department over John Gruden's victory in court
in Nevada. Also your thoughts on Patrick Mahomes brushing off
the JAG sign stealing scandal that took over the internet.
And what are the odds the NFL finds a market
for professional flag football. Yeah, that's a thing. We'll go

(00:43):
there as well, all of it. Right now, have a
wonderful weekend. Here it is our number four, Chucky Boy

(02:36):
I lead this hour from the courtroom. That's right. We
love a good legal drama. Now, before we get into this,
let me point out that we have been on all
night and we've done full Mallard monologues on all the
big stories. Here we break down everything. The Baseball Playoffs
says the Red Sox have been exterminated. They have been
kicked out of the playoffs, ejected, they have been told

(02:58):
to vacate the premises they're losing to the Yankees and
shut out fashion as Cam Schlitzer shoved it down their throats.
Wild scene there in that game. Also, we had the
Cleveland Guardians eliminated. The Padres were eliminated from the playoffs
as the Tigers advanced. The Tigers will take on the Mariners.

(03:20):
In the other half of the American League bracket, the
Yankees will take on Toronto. So we got that National
League side. Dodgers advanced. The other day they take on
the Reds, and you've got the Chicago called that's a
pretty good rivalry. Cubs and Brewers and the people at
the Cheese Castle and Kenosha are gonna be doing very
good business. There is the cub fans drive up there

(03:41):
for the Brewers and the Cubs in that rivalry series
will kick off this weekend as well. And we had
a Thursday night NFL game. Oh what a game it was.
The Rams decided not to show up in the first
half and blew the game Towys. They could have played
for a tie and overtime. The game went to overtime.
They had the game almost won in red. They had
a fumble with a little over a minute to go,

(04:02):
Kyron Williams fumbling the ball. The Rams have lost two
games this year because of one because of their idiot
kicker and special teams, the other because their idiot running back.
And then Sean McVay in overtime on a fourth down
and one, rather than kick a field goal and try
to tie the game, he went for it with a
little over three minutes to go, didn't get the down
to gain. The Niners backups of backups made the play

(04:26):
and so the Rams go down. Niners win that game
and Mac Jones Patriot trash. Mac Jones looked like he
was back in Tuscaloosa as he lit up what was
supposed to be a good Rams defense. He raised Holy
hell for the forty nine ers in the first half
of that game. Anyway, number that big news, big news
out of Nevada. If you have not heard, probably not

(04:50):
John Gruden. Who's he's a barstool bro now I think, yeah, yeah,
John Grud's lawsuit against the NFL moving a lit a
little bit closer to trial, inch by inch. The Nevada
Supreme Court, the Nevada Supreme Court, I think they decide
things via slot machine. The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously denied

(05:13):
the National Football League's petition to rehear a recent decision.
Now this is but who cares, it's just a formal thing. Well,
it's a big deal. And John Gruden's attorneys said were
obviously pleased with the decision in a prepared stand But
the NFL has the ability to appeal. However, here's where
they have to go. They have to go to the

(05:33):
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court would have to vote on
John Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL. And if you do
the matathod this, the NFL does not you know, they
know people, but the Supreme Court doesn't generally take too
many cases anyway, and so the NFL has declined to comment.

(05:54):
Now Gruden, this is all about him when he's coaching
the Raiders. Back in twenty twenty one, there was the
cherry picked emails sent from years earlier, which included all
the Big three, racist, misogynistic, homophobic language that Gruden had
sent out in email correspondence when he was not an
NFL employee. A month later, after this all went down,

(06:18):
he sued the NFL and the despotic commissioner Roger Goodell,
alleging a malicious and orchestrated campaign via his lawyer who
wrote that language. Because I'm pretty sure Gruden does not
use the word malicious or orchestrated. And about the leaked emails,
so let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
How concerned? How concerned is Roger Goodell and the NFL

(06:44):
over John Gruden's victory in the Nevada Supreme Court. So
I've got my take on this. I've got Jerry V. Lewis,
social media influencers, and Rolex and we will combine all
of these things together try to avoid an unmitigated disaster
and all the tongue twisters in the world because we're

(07:04):
gonna make some gotta goul We're gonna make the gotta
gool not to kick off the NFL right now. The
NFL right now, behind closed doors is sweating like they
accidentally summoned a demon when they were ordering door Dash.
They pressed the wrong thing on the app and instead
of getting a burger, they got a demon. Two losses

(07:26):
in a row in Nevada, And when's the last time
the Raiders won two games in a row. It's been
a while, but the John Gruden two wins in a
row there, the winning streak is alive and well. And
you gotta think of this like Johnsonville Sausage. I think
it was like Johnsonville saus like the factory at Johnsonville Sausage.
Behind the scenes, Roger Goodell calling his country club buddies,

(07:49):
the guys he hangs out with on Long Island right
in his place up there in Maine, the really aristocratic
people that have extra homes and whatnot. And so Goodell's
calling up his country club buddies and he's like saying, hey, ring, Ring,
this is Roger Goodell. Yeah, Roger, what's going on. Yeah,
I'm the commission of the National Football like, I know
who you are, Roger. I know you're the commission of
National Football League. Uh. And I was like, listen, we've

(08:11):
got this little problem. We can't really go public, right,
We can't go public with this. You know, people might
actually see how the sausage is made. So we need
some help because the NFL does not want sunlight. They
do not want sunlight. They want smoke. They want a
smoke filled back room. They want the kangaroo court. They
want Roger Goodell judge, jury executioner. That is how it's

(08:35):
always been. It has always been that way. You've got
the rigged arbitration system where the same guy who fired
you is also the one deciding your fate. Seems fair,
That's most of us would say. That's not justice. That's
a Soviet Union type operation there. But for now, the
Nevada Supreme Court told Roger Goodell to go pound sand

(08:58):
and just take a hike your little minions. You know,
your lawyers on retainer. So that is not just one,
but two. Body blows, body blows, body blows, and it's
got to be nerve racking. Got to be nerve racking
for the folks over there on Park Avenue. This is
the NFL's worst nightmare. The D word, discovery, capital d discovery,

(09:19):
Lawyers digging through emails, depositions, text messages, real answers, real
answers to figure out who exactly put the hit on
John Gruden? Who ordered the shiv on John Gruden? In
broad daylight as Brent Musburger, the iconic Hall of Fame
voice Brent Musburger, who was the voice of the Raiders

(09:42):
at the time, and he talked about John Gruden his
removal as coach of the Raiders, and he said it
was a professional hit job by a paid assassin. That
the NFL did not use their usual media gumbas. That
is what he said back in the day. It seems sactly.
Now you debate, well, who did it, why did they

(10:03):
do it? Well, I think we know why they did it.
But this is code red stuff for the NFL. You
cannot handle the truth. That's the movie they're living in
right now. Right So the NFL will appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, but the odds of them taking
the case are not particularly good. They're actually slimmer than
the Raiders winning the AFC West with Gino Smith at

(10:24):
quarterback as our friend Manuel from Guardina knows you need
not one, not two, not three, but four. And this
is I understand. I'm not a believe it or not,
I'm not a Supreme Court expert, but as I understand it,
you need four justices to even grant a hearing. So
you need four of the justices. You then need five

(10:44):
in order to win, five of the nine in order
to win. So it's not easy even for a behemoth
like the NFL. And this could blow the whole thing
wide open. And I have a big bucket of popcorn.
You can't see it because it's off to the side,
but I got a big bucket of popcorn, and I'm

(11:05):
like movie theater popcorn, like really bad, just kind of
fills your arteries up and all that show please yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. And so you got you got emails, as
I said, the cover up, You've got the Washington investigation,
and we might actually know who ordered the hit job
and pushed John Gruden out, and it's Jerry Lee Lewis.

(11:27):
Great balls of fire. John Gruden's got the NFL by
the balls. He does right, He's got them in a
choke hold, and the clock is ticking. In fact, you
can almost hear it. If you turn up the volume,
you can almost I almost hear it. Yeah, exactly, every
motion the NFL loses everyone is like another beat of

(11:50):
sweat rolling down Roger Goodell's forehead, and we are inching
closer to the NFL's dirty laundry get dragged out and
being put on a clothes line right in the middle
of the town square for everyone to see. Sounds good it,
all right? Furthermore, do Cansah city we go where Patrick Mahomes.

(12:13):
Mahomey said recently that he does not understand the hullabaloo or,
as he said, the fuss about the Jaguars recent signs
stealing saga. Mahomes claim, given the fact the Chiefs changed
their signals every single week, they're the smartest guys in
the room. He also said, as we understand it that

(12:35):
they know the game is on TV and that other
teams try to get a beat on what they're trying
to do. All right, close quote question your thoughts on
Patrick Mahomes brushing off the Jags signs stealing scandal. All right,
So the first thought rather was like, no kidding, right,

(12:57):
that's football teams have been breaking looking down hand signals
and snap counts since Dan Marino was a young pup.
This isn't espionage, it is not. It is called preparation.
That is what it's called preparation. It's what every good
coaching staff does. You self scout, you scout the opponent.
You put it all together, You mix and match, you
put a ven diagram together. You pick up the little twitches,

(13:20):
the collaps, the mannerisms, the check with me's all that stuff.
And if you don't, you're a bum. You're bum. You're
leaving free information on the table. You never leave free
information on the table. You don't do it. The thing
that has changed social media influencers know, this is really

(13:41):
good clickbait, really good. The algorithms like it, the bots
like it. It's really sexy clickbait. And so we have to
turn this into a federal case. We just have to,
like the Lower Court of Manhattan has to be involved,
because now there are nerds running football, the analytical mafia, right,
all the all twenty two podcasters, the smartest guys in

(14:04):
the room, the hardos that are impossible to listen to today.
Suddenly they discover these nimrods that hey, teams watch TV,
they copy, they pick up signals. It's not right. Really.
See this is the This is as old as Vince
Lombardi's Fedorra back in the day. As long again, maybe clear,

(14:26):
as long as you don't go full asstros the Houston
ass one one thousand two, one thousand holes with the buzzers,
the trash cans, the whistles. You know, some guy in
the whistle with the whistle, Hey up, check him for
the buzzer. Albouve, you're fine. Baseball crossed the line with

(14:49):
that circus fraud, that rob Man fraud. The commissioner allowed
to go unpunished. Nobody got punished. We did get a
cheating astro eliminated in and Bregman and the Red Sox
he's out. We've got two cheating a holes left of prominence.
George cheating Springer, the MVP of the Crooked World Series

(15:10):
in twenty seventeen with Toronto. So we got to get
Toronto out. And you also have on the in the
Detroit dugout. You've got the manager of the cheating a
holes who was so pompous and arrogant, aj Hinch that
while it was going on, while they were cheating, he
just dismissed the idea that they were cheating, and we

(15:30):
played that audio and it was so good in hindsight,
knowing what we know and knowing what we thought we knew,
man was that good. But again, we're talking football here,
and don't cross the streams. It's still the honor among
thieves in football. Steal what you can, just don't bring props.
Don't bring the props into it and all that. All right,

(15:51):
last thing, the flug is up, so we have learned.
Now go back to the commissioner. Roger Goodell has confirmed
that the NFL is is spending money to launch a
new professional startup football league, professional flag flag flag Football,

(16:18):
that's going to start in the next couple of years. Question,
what are the odds? What are the odds the NFL
finds a market for professional flag football flag flag football.
So I've looked at it. The malarodds on this are
slim and none and slim. Just left town on an

(16:38):
Amtrak train and I don't know where that train is headed.
It's just headed out of Dodge, going off to timbuckto somewhere.
That's where it's going. So I sent some messages out
to some people. I know that work in that world
that actually take checks from the NFL. And the response
I got was that this is all being planned in
correspondence with the Olympics coming to Los Angeles in twenty

(17:02):
twenty eight, I believe, the summer of twenty twenty eight.
So it's gonna be hear before you know I mean,
the heck, twenty twenty five is gonna be over before
you know it. Halloween's right around the corner, then Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and then that's all she wrote. But anyway, so in
twenty twenty eight, the Olympics, you're gonna have flag football,
and the NFL owners are thinking, Okay, this will be popular,
and we're gonna piggyback off that. We're gonna start this

(17:24):
little startup fugeesy flag Football League and it'll be great. Now,
without knowing much about it, just the idea is that
in my head, this is going to be nothing more
than a cheap knockoff. It'll be like going to the
old Times Square in New York and some guys there, Hey,

(17:45):
I got some watches you want to watch, and watch, watch, watch.
I'll take a watch, all right, So you buy a
Rolex from a guy's trunk in Times Square and it
looks pretty good. They're like, oh, man, I scored. This
might be stolen, but it's good. But the second you
wear it, the thing falls apart. Right, this is the
owner's dream scenario that you strip the sport down, you

(18:06):
eliminate the helmets, you cut down on the lawsuits. Boom
goes to dynamite. How great would that be? You've reduced
what they call downstream liability that the players of today,
A certain percentage of NFL players today will have their
brains like scrambled eggs with cheese in thirty years and

(18:28):
a percentage of those players will then sue the NFL.
And they said, well they can't sue the NFL. Well,
it's happened for it will happen again, and so that's
downstream liability. You don't need in flag football linemen, so
no need for that. You don't need to tackle because
it's a flag. You don't even need testosterone. Right, you

(18:49):
can sell that. It's inclusive. You can have women playing
flag football and the NFL flag football they can play.
I imagine what this will be is a lot of
wash stop has bins. It'll be the senior PGA Tour
meets Beer League Softball that you know they're gonna market
it like, hey, come out and see NFL legends playing

(19:11):
flag football. You can watch Peyton Manning take on Drew
Brees one more time, you know, that kind of thing.
It's kind of like how they marketed pickleball when that started,
right they brought a bunch of tennis players in to
try to get people all horny for pickleball. You know,
nobody really is into it. It was a fly by
night thing. But but anyway, listen until reality sets it.

(19:34):
You're not gonna get Peyton Manning versus Drew Brees playing
flag football. You're going to get, at best, you'll get
Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Amish rifle throwing five yard dump off passes,
and he'll be going against Mark Bulger and the old
Ram quarterback who was last seen in the Witness Protection
program about ten years ago. Yeah but yeah, but yeah,

(19:55):
but yeah it that's Mike March. Yeah but yeah but
it yeah but yeah but and the NFL will try
to sell it as fast paced fun and the future
of football. And just like the XFL, the USFL, the
AAF and a bunch of other leagues that I don't
even remember, and all those things, all of these things
end up in the same pigskin, junk yard gimmick football

(20:17):
and the real kicker though that this is the wet
dream of the NFL. This is the end game. They
want this, they need this, and if they time it right,
if it does become popular in the Olympics, and they
time it right, the owners would love to transition. It's
been all the rage to the want to transition the
public into accepting flag football and make that become a

(20:41):
moneymaker the norm, because again, it's got three things going forward.
It's cheaper, it's easier, and it's safer, all right. Cheaper, easier, safer,
No more pads, no more high priced lawsuits, no more
guys getting turned into chop meat in the trenches and
all that stuff. And it's kind of like getting fans
hooked on diet coke after years of regular coke. You

(21:01):
shave off all the sugar and most of the calories
and all that. It's in all the flavor. It's football
without the football. It's like opening a steakhouse and going
down and bid like a really big porterhouse steak. Can
I get this? Sure, we get you at Porterhouse Steak,
and then they serve the Porterhouse steak and they put this,
they put the A one steak sauce right there, and

(21:22):
then you cut into it and you're like, well, that's
not that's tofu, that's not a steak. But well yeah,
but it's a steakhouse. So if it's a steakhouse, it's
a steak. It's the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
That's really like a religious experience. When you meet an
overnight talk radio host, it's very similar. Yes, all right,
well James, enjoy your weekend. But anything else you want
to say, I got to move on here. No, yeah, okay,
all right, I knew, all right, thank you, and she
misses you too. Okay, I'm gonna go bang my head

(26:24):
against the wall till it starts bleeding. In the meantime,
I'll say, yeah, there you go. Hey, we got a
new toy for those of you that just tune in
the last hour. Sean McVeigh gave us what we love
is an evergreen drop. We love evergreen drops. That means
we can use it out of context. It's a toy. Now.
If you remember the old days when Dave Roberts, the

(26:46):
Dodgers manager, would bring in some stiff to pitch and
the guy would get lit up and he'd say I
really liked him in that spot. Well, we anytime out
of context, we'd use that drop. I really liked him
that spot. The former former famous hockey coach John Tortorella.
We sucked at a time we couldn't. You know, can't suck.

(27:08):
That's a great evergreen job. But now we have Sean
McVeagh who decided in his wisdom in a game the
Rams were trailing by three points in a an overtime.
If the Rams don't score, the game ends. He decided
to go for it on fourth and one deep in
Niners territory, in makeable field goal range, and then he
gave us this pearl of wisdom. It's a bad call.

(27:29):
It's a bad call by me, so perfect. That is
so good. We're gonna have fun with that.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
I'm gonna play that every time you have a bad
caller on the air.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Not only bad callers, but we can mock the coaches
and the people in sports. Yeah, yeah, have a have
a good time. And we got to get that Dave
Roberts one ready to go because he's gonna f up
this series with the Philly So we got to get
that ready to go when Roberts screws things up there
Tilio is up next. Hello, Tillio. Welcome in the sunshine stick.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
How you doing, Ben?

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, I'm good. I'm If I was any better, i'd
be gool, but not gabba ghoul because I'd be in
your stomach. You know.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Hey, listen, I gotta hope the Yankees go deep in
the playoffs because the Giants won't be good for another
probably another five years now went through offensive line.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, not five years. If Jackson Dark can play, and
I'm not convinced after one game you can lock together,
you can slap together an offensive line.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
The main reason I called is I wanted to the
first time I visited your state forty seven years ago
with my beautiful Bribe on our honeymoon. We flew into
San Francisco, drove down to California and it was really nice.
And it was nineteen seventy eight. That was the seventy
eight Do you remember seventy eight, bet or you're too
young when the Yankees spent your voice.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Two years it was a child. I don't really remember,
but there's photographic evidence that I did exist, so that
I was in the world.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Let's let's have some fun, play a little game, because
they have to California. We spent the week in Florida,
and I surprised my my wife with two nights day
at their contemporary in the Disney World. How much did
it cost for a room in the contemporary?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Okay? What year is this? Nineteen seventy eight? All right,
Disney World? One night? Was it a weekend or was
it during the week?

Speaker 6 (29:29):
It was during the week, and was two.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Nights fifty five dollars a night?

Speaker 6 (29:39):
Is there another guest or exact it?

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I don't know, LORAINI you want to guess quickly, Lorena,
I'll do forty seven dollars a night. Okay? Cool?

Speaker 4 (29:49):
What year was this again? I'm sorry?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Nineteen seventy eight? He paid for a hotel room in
Orlando for Disney World temporary on Disney property, seven Disney property.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go lower thirty thirty dollars
a night.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Well, you said fifty five. The rangers are closest. It
was fifty.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh, man, I went over. I went over my five
bucks when I left. Sucks.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Okay, I'll give you a second chance. How much did
it cost to park oh at the Magic Kingdom? Remember
nineteen seventy eight?

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Nineteen seventy eight ten bucks, ten bucks.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
I'm going to go with five dollars, but you could
get it validated if you ate at a restaurant.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
No, they didn't do that back then.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, that's a new thing. Coop free.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
He is the closest. It was fifty cents to park.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
The damn wow, fifty cents to park.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
It's thirty five dollars down.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Thirty day pass, a three day pass. Well, I'm not
lying to you. I still have I have one of them.
Was thirty three dollars for a three day path.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, all right, I gotta go tell yo. But
y all right, buddy, Yeah, let's get over the Cooper
loop for the Coop Scoop on entertainment. Hooray for Holly.
What already Holly Holly?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Thank you, Ben, thank you.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Yes, all right, we're gonna start off in the theaters.
There's a couple of movies worth mentioning this weekend. The
first one is The Smashing Machine that stars Dwayne the
Rock Johnson in his first ever like super serious role.
It is the story of mixed martial artists and UFC
champion Mark Kerr.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
See off the sauce. I saw photos of him. He
looks skinny.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
That's what I've heard. Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
People people are saying that he's no longer using and
that's why he's that small. He's saying that he's doing
it for a role.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't know. Okay, Well, he's definitely thinner. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
Another movie out in theaters this weekend. It is a
horror movie. I've already seen it. I saw a special
sneak preview. It's called good Boy, and it is a horror.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Movie that would be a horror movie, a good Boy horu.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
It was a it's a horror movie from the perspective
of a dog. So it's only it's only like an
hour and twelve minutes long.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
But charging discount price, that's not very long.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
No, it's not. But I mean there's only so much
you can get the dog to do.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I watch it, and I will say there was times
where I was like, Okay, this is a it's a
little repetitive because you know, there's only so many like looks.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
That the dog can do.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Uh, But overall I was I was impressed with the
dogs acting. It's a the dog's named is Indie, and.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Does the dog know it's acting?

Speaker 4 (32:44):
No?

Speaker 5 (32:45):
No, I read about this afterwards, and it's the director's dog,
and there's like, you know, there's shots where the dog
is sleeping and then gets woken up by you know,
like a sound in the house. And apparently they just
they've filmed on a close set and they waited around
for the dog to actually like fall asleep so that
they would get like natural.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
I know, I know, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Imagine how much the people hated that who were working
on that.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
I'm sure, I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
But that being said, there were a few good jump
scares and you know, a nice, nice little tie up
at the end, so I think it's worth checking out.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
But well, my dog Moxie coop, the whole house could
burd dow and the Moxie wouldn't move, you know.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Just yeah, for sure, for sure. So that is good boy.
That is in theaters right now. And then moving over
to television, we have a couple of things. The first
one is a movie called The Lost Bus. This is
a limited release in theaters, but it is an Apple
TV Plus movie and so it is available streaming on
Apple TV Plus right now. It is based on a

(33:46):
true story look at Northern California's deadly campfire back in
twenty eighteen. So the film follows a school bus driver
played by Matthew McConaughey, who teams up with a teacher,
America Ferrera, as they battle to save twenty two children
from the flames.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
As I saw this, this looks intense. Yeah it does.
It does look intense. So it's in.

It's in some theaters, but you can stream it if
you have Apple TV Plus. It's got pretty good reviews.

a man who's very nervous about his Seattle Mariners as
they take on the Tigers this weekend. Robbie the Mariner fan, Hello, Robbie, welcome. Yep,

But we'll have to survive that first game. That's fine.
Just get to the bullpen. That's what you gotta do.

(37:10):
Just survive until you get to the bullpen. Robbie picked
door number one. Door number two or dirt number three,
Robbie door number two in honor of justin Cincinnati, and
the big number. Well, you pick coach Russell in Orlando.
His team's got a bye week this week, so you'll
be going against coach Russell. Are you there? Coach Russell?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Good morning. All right, here we go, gentlemen. Your name
is your buzzer. The categories are it takes two and
also we've got to win the game. Which one do
you want Robbie to win the game? Okay, these athletes
have all scored to win a playoff game with no
time left two hundred dollars. A layup by Craig Elo

(37:54):
with three seconds left would not be enough, as this
legend double clutched and buried a shot to upset the
Cavaliers and move on to the NBA Finals. Coach Michael Jordan, Yeah,
one of the iconic shots of that year. Michael Jordan
absolutely at the Richfield Coliseum four hundred dollars in Game
seven of the twenty nineteen Eastern Conference semi Finals. Robby Robbie,

Oh boy, oh no, I'm blanking.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
It's the guy with the crazy laugh.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
There you go Kawhi. Leonard Justin would have never let
you forget that if you'd gotten that six hundred dollars. Yeah.
Tim Duncan thought he had hit a buzzer beater to
win the game, but with zero point four seconds left,
Rob Robbie, oh no, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
I don't know either, all.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Right, out of time, But what about you, coach? No,
they go, oh man, we forgot Derek Fisher was who
we were looking for, because but I believe Robby probably
got that one wrong. Nobody wins. Is zero's washing zero
zero
