(01:51):

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Minutes talking about apologizing over food that you don't like.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean, where are we you can't like anything? Well,
it's just absolutely crazy, Rob Gene. It was a story,
a long one today.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was that the Athletic It was ESPN dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
ESPN dot com. Sorry but I get mixed up with
the two. But anyway, about the Clippers situation with Kawhi
and uh, it was interesting. Yeah, Baxter Holmes does a
great job over there.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
He's one of the few guys who still does long
form investigative journalism for ESPN and and uh it's great work.
So we know that this Kawhi Leonard situation has been
percolating now for a few weeks. The whole situation with
uh aspiration and the under the table deal to circumvent
the salary cap. Well, Baxter did a deep dive into
the whole situation with the Clippers, and here's the lead paragraph,
(02:52):
and I'll get to a quote later just to give
you some context, because he wrote a hell of like
five thousand words on this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
During the six season.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Is the clippers blockbuster twenty nineteen acquisition of Kawhi Leonard.
The team has won just three playoff series and Leonard
has played only fifty eight percent of its games. But
that failure extends further because from nearly since the moment
Leonard signed in Los Angeles, Steve Balmer and the team
have also drawn unprecedented and serious scrutiny from the NBA
League Office and the rest of the NBA. Since twenty nineteen,
(03:20):
the Clippers have faced two separate lawsuits alleging tampering, one
of which is ongoing. They've been fined at least twice
by the NBA for violations of leagues involving Kawhi Leonard.
They've also had at least three separate investigations, one of
which just began into the Clippers involving Kawhi Leonard. So
basically he doesn't play, he's always injured, and on top
(03:42):
of that, he's brought all kinds of the FEDS all
around the Clippers organization. So much so that a anonymous
former Clippers staffer went on record and said.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Another jealous former employee go ahead in the article. Quote
it wasn't a current employee right now for who's not
working here anymore.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I mean, if you read the article here, a lot
of people out the allegedly because Kawhi was so difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's what he said. Quote.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
This last investigation talking about the aspiration one is different.
This one directly calls into question Steve Bamer's character. At
some point, Steven's got to get out of the Kawhi business.
They're done building around him. They know that he knows
that end quote. So, guys, really easy question right off
the rip. If you're Steve Balmer and the opportunity presents itself,
(04:32):
whether because you're forced to do it or because the
heat gets so high you feel like you have to
do it, should the Clippers get out of the Kawhi business?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Closed?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Shot, closed, out of business, grant opening, grand closing for me,
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
If I'm Steve Bamer. We gave it a shot. We
gave it a shot.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
We did everything he wanted, Uncle Dennis wanted, Uncle Bob,
uncle Jim, uncle Auntie, whoever. We did everything the family wanted.
And what did we get? What's the ROI? What is
our return on investment? That would be my thing. Sometimes
things just hey, it's worn out, it's welcome, it's time
to move on. You just mentioned I think you might
be spotting him a percentage when you say fifty eight
(05:15):
percent of the games he played, I don't think he's playing. No,
fifty eight played thirty one games last season. There are
seasons where he didn't play but nine games. He's hurt,
just doing it on himself, you know, choosing to be hurt.
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. The point is he's
not playing. And when you look at some other things
as well, it's not as if you've got any trophies
for it. It's not as if he's got any MVPs
(05:36):
for It's not he's gotten any notoriety, any fame, anymore lights,
anymore bright. He doesn't break go about the organization. If
you read further into that story, he doesn't want to
be mentioned. He tells him, you can't bring my name up,
you can't talk about me, so you can't even like
pump him up, and he can't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Be this person that's raw.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Rod makes everybody want to come watch the team and
invest in the team and be about it. And so
to me, he didn't bring any right lights. The only
live ce brother with the spotlight now into this. He
is a heck of a player, one of the best
I've ever seen when healthy. But it's time to move on.
I have nothing new game from it. If I'm Steve Baumber,
I'm invested. I've done things. There's alleged things that may
(06:14):
have made not happen. We'll see whatever happens in the investigation.
I've done all I can do. I got a new
arena over here. I didn't time brought play you wanted
Paul George, he got Paul George. Here, got rid of SGA,
who's now got an MVP, who's got a championship.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's time to move on.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This version of the Clippers ain't even wasn't even more
entertaining than Lop City.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Love City at least was more entertaining. And we talked
about them more.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
And we had big aspirations for the Love City Clippers.
So Kawhi Leonard heck of a player, heck of a talent,
And it's okay to cut ties and move on, cutting
ties like I'm cutting.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
His car rolls. I'm moving on.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
So I'm out of it. I've tried it. I need
to move on. If I'm Steve Bomber, if I'm TYLERU,
we gotta move on. I don't even know what's if
you read into that story, you just never know. He
never tells you information. He doesn't talk to you. He
tells you, in fact, don't worry about this, don't do this.
I have the right to not do this. I have
the right to not do that. Too many stipulations. I'm good.
(07:12):
I'm moving on. Thank you, God, bless you. Ahalla couldn't
disagree more?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Are you kidding me? Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Steve Balmer understands there's a he didn't have to win
eight championships. He didn't have to win. He is banking
on the idea that he can just get one.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He has one less than Lebron who's been here. The
Lakers have given Lebron everything, made all these trades brought
in Luca. They couldn't even get out of the first round. Right,
that's when Luca, a twenty five year old All All
NBA player and Lebron couldn't even get out of first round.
Everybody had them going to the Western Conference finals. It's
(07:52):
only about winning one, that's all that Steve Balmer wants
to wins, not what he says. No, I'm telling you
that still takes his one and if he can get
one and for once the stars aligned and somehow he
can be healthy and play. You got a great coach
in ty Lou. You got James hard who has acquiesced
(08:14):
and was able to fit into what you know works
here and not have to be the same player and
some other players.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There's nothing here that you wouldn't want to run it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Back and hope that maybe just one day, your luck
is going to be in your favor because you have
a guy who win healthy is one of the best
players in the league. And I get it, he's not
healthy all the time, and that's what's been the big
bugg a boo. But when he's healthy and you watch
this guy play in certain situations, he's tremendous. He's worth
(08:48):
the price of a mission. He's that good and he's
worth it, and the Clippers have to feel good if
you're Steve Balmer that you were able to get a
guy who won two championships to come, not team up
with Lebron, not go to the big brother, but to
go to the little brother, no matter what it is,
and you could you could not cowhid for whatever the
late The Clippers were the ones who broke the rules if.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They did, you know what I mean? And all that
other thing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You could ask for the moon Okay, you could have
asked for the moon coming here, and if Fox Sports
decides to give it to you, that's on them or
or you know, or whatever it is it is. You
could ask for whatever. The company is the one that
has to decide that they're going to bend the rules
or do whatever it is to get you or to
pacify you. I just ka WHI to me? I can't
(09:33):
criticize a guy who's injured. That's not his fault. Do
I believe that he doesn't want to play? I don't
believe that. I think people are ludicrous to think that
he doesn't want to play or doesn't want to win.
This guy's been a winner his whole life. This is
where he's been a winner. This is where I challenge you.
I don't think he doesn't want to win. I think
(09:53):
he wants to win his own way. And if you
read it, I tell you what that means. He comes
with too many stipulations about being heard. I'm not, but
that's the lation. So yeah, in this piece, he Rodan
talking about I only want to play this. I'm not
playing backs back, I'm not doing this. Too many knots
when I'm trying to win. It's too many knots because
when I have to win, I have to count on this.
I have to be you have to be open that
(10:14):
I might have to play you this minin a minutes,
or might have to play you these games.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
It's too much that comes into trying to win a championship.
You said a couple of things. I don't like the
fact that you're if I'm baking on James Harden, who
ain't ever showed up in the postseason, and I'm baking
on Kawhi who's hardly ever healthy, and I'm baking on
Bradley Beal, no deal, it ain't happening. That's what this is.
Absolutely not happening. And I know you just talked about, well,
(10:39):
you know, at least they got Lebron. You can look
at the Brett Krumber with Lebron, you got a championship
with Lester.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Get which is questionable. You got a championship you got.
That's the one that he got. You got it the
years when Lebron wouldn't even make the.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Watch though, watch this and I'll get you that. Watch this.
I got a championship. I got all types of more
notoriety and fame. We're talking about the Lakers. They're talking
about what.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Goes without saying the Lakers have always Ron don't.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Absolutely no, they're one of the best franchises. D agree.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
And part of that because they know who they do,
they know how to do business. That's getting stars. And
then because of Lebron, I get a D. And because
of a D, I now have Luca. So the ripple
effect of it, I still.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Has Lebron's performance here, This is what you expected that
he get one bubble bubble championship when he came at
least two.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
But you got the one if you're the Lakers and
if you're the Clippers. That was the whole point the Clippers,
but all they need is one. They're not even close
to getting it, and now the guy that you gave
up to get them look like he might win another
one with his team, and that's g A.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And so my thing is, I can't separate. The day
that you have them winning another championship is far fetch.
That's not it's far fetched to me. I don't I doubt.
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
If you said it, don't I cool with that far fetches?
Come on, that's not crazy. No, that's not crazy. It
is because the.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Teams don't win back to back. But that's not teams
don't win bought back to back, Clippers winning, No felt,
teams don't win back to back. That's my point. Just
like somebody would have told you, okay see, winning was
far fetch, you didn't have okay see winning five years.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Ago when they made the trade, or three years ago.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
But I mean, I'm already how many years was far
I'm in the Kawhi years now, since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, but he hasn't been fully healthy and he won't.
That's the post my issue. He hasn't been fully high.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I can't separate.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
All I need is one year of a fully healthy
Kawhi with a great coaching.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Tylui, that ain't nothing you just said is that he's
never been fully healthy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's not even like I would love for that. Yeah, well,
not never fully healthy.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I mean to play like a full James Harden never
shows up when you need him. Bradley Beal hadn't done
anything really outstairs and started scoring in his career, and
and and then a bunch of other pieces around Like
what that? That to me is not Warren, especially when
you look at the Red Denver got better. Okay, see
you got all their Greek, kept all their young guys.
You know, you got all these other teams in the
East who look like they're gonna improve. I just don't
(13:04):
see how they're a part of this up. The Houston
Rockets got KDE, they look like they're improving. Minnesota still
out there. I mean, I just don't see where they
fit into this. And I can't keep going along. I gave,
it's been long enough. It's okay to we have knowing.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You have no plan, man, you know you can you
selling ticket sponsorships?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What are you talking about? What did the idea? Did
not see the tickets? Because you don't know if you're
gonna see Kawi the idea that you're gonna get out
of the Kawhid hope. I see Kawhi today, roll these dice.
Here we go back. Oh, crapped out. He's not playing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's called the NBA. You don't know what show, who
started it? You don't know who's the picture of it.
But Kawhi Leonards he hurt. I don't know, Yeah, I do.
I look up load management. I see Kawhi some corn
rolls somewhere. That's what I see. What is Load's management?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is me and a fun guy? That is load management? No,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The load management did not start there where they start.
They didn't start with with him.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, it did not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It was Tim Duncan and those other guy. Wasn't let
me get that. No, that's not me getting no, no, no,

old man. It was once he got hurt, all right,

Leonard two years ago? All right, he's not a leader,

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Can say that he's won two champions anymore?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Rock Rock Rock?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Did you watch and see what he did in Toronto?
It was a masterful job.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Rob, Rob.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
How many years is a business?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Then?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Rob, nobody hasn't been healthy when he's healthy. This year,
they got a chance to win. Rob, You're gonna be
We're going to my grandkids somebody.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Why ever? Healthy? Why Leonard will never play at least
sixty games in this season? He won't do it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh, absolutely, don't give you fifty this year. I'm thinking
about I'm thinking about eighty this year.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Rob, Rob.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Let me ask, Let me ask if they prove with
this investigation, right, if something has proven it comes down
the pike, do you think the Clippers will snipping anything
irrelevant anytime.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Soon this year? Yes, I think they got a chance
in the Western Conference.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
If the investigation goes south and it's determined that they were.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
In the wrong, good luck on that. Good luck on that.
I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't sound like Eric.
I'm just saying, Hey, I'm figured it.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Outright, Rob Tennis, I said, hello.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
No, you beat me to it. Have we ever seen
Uncle Dennis?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Are you uncle Dennis? I'm not Uncle dinnis breaking news,
Martin Weiss.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
This is he's becoming in the shadows.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Tell me he's no Eric, I figured it out.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I've never seen uncle Dennis and Rob parking the same
at the same building at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Are you our uncle Dennis?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It makes sense now, Dion in Texas, you're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
What's up? Dion?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Hey, what's guys?
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Hey man?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Rob?
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Do not compare Kawhi to Lebron.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Ever, Lebron has played in nine.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
All of his I'm talking about coming to LA and
winning like and there you go. He went, he won
one and Kawhi won none.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
That's gonna play.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
He wasn't going to play, so he couldn't help Lebron
win a championship if he's not on the court.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They wanted him, They offered them a big contract to
come to the Lakers. He turned them down. Stop it.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
And if he were the stepped the contract, he could
have played for ten years. He wouldn't have never played
enough games to win a championship.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
If he was on a team.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You don't think they would have won a champ with them,
A d and Lebron even if he played. Okay, come on,
you're gonna say that again. With those three players, they
wouldn't won a Championship.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Come on, if Kawhi played Kawhi, I'm not worried about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They won.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
What up?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
They won with Lebron and a D If the Kawhi
was on the team, you're telling me they want to
go win the Jam.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They win. They went multiple more than one.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Kawhi never plays.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
That's why the Clippers hadn't run anything I would run.
I'm out the Kawhi.
Speaker 2 (20:27):

Speaker 6 (22:35):
A worship Wednesday. Ache knees if you gotta stip back,
if your joints on cooperated. By the way, I got
a nice massage today. I was dealing with some of
this stuff. I should have just went ahead and took
a leave. Because one pill a lead provides up to
twelve hours of pain relief, so you can keep moving
us as directed. So on those days when you're filling
a beat down, go take in a leave, all right.
(22:56):
The owner we're talking about the Tom Brady. We talked
a little bit about that before I had to leave yesterday,
a little bit about that, but a lot of you got.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
People coming out now, owners coming out.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
People are talking about Tom Brady and advantage or disadvantage
or maybe no advantage at all that he has with
his position with Fox and then also.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Being a minority owner with the Raiders. You kind of
going back to what we were talking about a little bit.
Are you okay with this?
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You have, well, you see where he has an advantage
over other minority owners or pokes in his position.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I think it's the rob g like the owner, right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I mean there's an owner coming out and saying it
isn't not just me or somebody not in the business.
This is an owner saying yes, of course, this is
an obvious conflict of interest. You could you could paint
it or spind it any way you want. He has
inside information, he's able to talk. He's an owner, talk
to players, put a bug in their ear. You know,
(23:48):
we love the you know you know you're a free agent.
I'm just saying, man, I love what you do. Tom
Brady gets to come up to you and smooth and
talk to Do you understand what I'm saying? Where normally
that would be tampering he can't talked to my players, right,
So I think it's an obvious conflict of interest. I
don't even know where, like what what would be the
(24:11):
idea of the NFL saying no, I just I don't
see it. I think the NFL.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Is so invested in Tom Brady, the man and the brand,
that they're gonna do whatever it's possible to. But I
mean we've already seen it. They've already changed the rules enough.
Last year we were having this conversation and he was
not supposed to do X, Y and Z. Well now
they said, well he can't do Z, but he can't
do X and Y. And how long before they say, okay,
well he can do X, Y and Z only because
(24:39):
of this? What are they invested in Tom Brady's like answer,
because it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That can be true.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
But I think it's because of the brand, the name,
and he's everything about him is winning. It's Tom Brady.
But Netflix has given him the roads and he's getting
the money from me. That's all the commercials.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But football, I don't care. John Madden was was one
of those icond of figures. The TV ratings didn't go
down because John Madden died or was off the when
he left NBC. I'm just saying the importance of get
it nobody's bigger than the Because Michael Jordan left the NBA,
the league didn't fall off the air nobody.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't care. Barry Bond. Everybody watched Barry Bond. But look,
but here's why. None of that's business.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
It's not about going backwards. It's cannot go one percent forward.
So I don't think the NFL is gonna fall off
if Tom Brady wasn't on calls. I think for them
it's if you know, I'm making it up. If we're
getting an eight share, meaning eight million people making a
twenty share, twenty million people watching, can we get to
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I don't think it's going backwards.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
I think business is long's trying to go forward, but
they think if we can bring It's the reason why
NBC is bringing Michael Jordan to NBC because it's like Jordan, I.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Want to watch it until you watch when he's recorded
on and in And the same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think we make too big of a deal about
announcers on games. I really do, because ultimately, what decide
whether or not people watch or what's the game that's on?
You might the only thing most people do announcers is
not that I like somebody, but I dislike them, and
I'll turn the radio on or turn it down or
(26:13):
something because I don't like I hear, you know, like
it's not Oh, I don't care what game is on.
Al Michaels is broadcasting the game I want to. I'm
gonna watch it. I think it's just the other way
that people don't like certain announcers, and that might turn
them off to watching something or putting on another venue.
I just don't believe that someone's gonna watch a bad
(26:34):
Jacksonville game because Tom Brady's doing.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Announcers are like offensive linemen. I don't want to hear
from you. And that's a compliment because that means you
ain't doing nothing wrong, right you. The only time if
announcers on the game, you just sit there and watch
the game. You just ay they're doing they're bad. You
saw man, you get on Twitter, you get on that.
Oh who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He sucks? She sucks? Why are they on?
Speaker 6 (26:54):
If they're good? Most of the time, you you don't
even acknowledge, you like a good offensive lineman. You didn't
even know if they were there. You're like, oh, I
didn't forget he was there. You know what, I'm getting
three fall starts in the.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Game, even though was this guy even at CBS where
they decided, uh.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That that I'm just the quarterback, Oh my god from
the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh uh Tony Romo, Tony Romo who got off to
a hot start.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
He was predicting everything.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Then it became so bad and and he was wrong
on a lot they told him to stop, you know
what I mean. Like that, like that's where you can
factor in where people go. I can't want to listen
to the game. He's he's predicting every play. They're wrong
a lot, you know what I mean, And it started
to hurt the broadcast.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Actually, yeah, I think the going back to a little
bit with the Tom Brady, I just think he's too
he has too much innoventive advantage to just be able
to be around, to mix and mingle, to get information,
to talk it, chop it up with guys, you know.
And again remember ultimately he's a competitive person. He's going
to do what I'm invested in. I want to succeed
(27:57):
when I'm invested in. I want to win.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'm invest which is fine with the creators. And so
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
So him on the call, doing all that, being around
all these other organizations, getting inside scoops and building relationships
with here Chip Kenne I talk to him three four
days a week. You don't think he's saying something. Man,
I was over here, I'm over there. This's what they're
doing I like the way they're doing this. I don't
like the way they're doing it. Hey, they got this
guy receiver.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
He has a way bigger advantage to people because he's
out there.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Owners on traveling around.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
They don't get to see every team, They don't get
to go in a lot of room talk to certain players.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's not what an owner gets to do, you know what,
Like that's a huge advance, even more than owners. You
coming in with the cachet that you're him.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Right, he already has Kobe Bryant, god bless it dead,
or Lebron or Steph Curry, you know, MJ. And if
they come around, it's like reference like, oh man, you
chopping up, you kind of you almost naturally left your
left your guard. Now all you might share a little
bit too much, man, I'm thinking about doing this move
or yeah, man, the team right now. But he's a
former player player, he knows how to getting there with you,
chopping up with you and you don't let you hear
(29:01):
it now, Yeah he can get something, So let me
be cool. I'm not saying this is a world like,
oh my gosh, it's gonna change the world for the Raiders. Advantage,
but no, hey, listen, any for them, any little advantage
will take. We're the raiders, my bad Robgi, and they'll
take any little bit that they can get as well.
All right, on the way, we're gonna do a little
shop talk for you. Step away from the games and
(29:23):
talk a little something. This is an interesting one because
it involves food and what you can and can't say
around food.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Why are you making that?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I'm just saying, don't. I don't want anybody to hate
me because I don't like all food.
Speaker 6 (29:34):

My goodness? Like they're gonna watch it later? Please.
Speaker 6 (30:16):

church and you're not kind of a thing. Or maybe
let me not say it so cynically. Maybe it's also

world of sports, and this week we're cheating because this
one does involve sportsh You know. I don't know if
you heard about this one, guys, but uh American tennis
starred Taylor Townsend how to issue an apology because a
couple of days ago, she posted videos of local dishes
in China, including bullfrogs and turtles, on her social media
(31:53):
and she joked that she would need to quote talk
to hr about the quality of the food. She got
a lot of backline about it, and she said, Hey,
I gotta go on Instagram and apologize for it, saying, quote,
I just want to come on here and apologize sincerely
from the bottom of my heart. It's one of those
things I love so much about what I do. I
have nothing but the most amazing experiences and time here
(32:14):
in the job. Everyone has been so kind and so great.
She thinks I said, we're not representative of that at all.
I just truly want to apologize. No excuse, there are
no words for me. I just I will be better.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I will be better.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Should she have to apologize for not being a fan
of local Chinese food?
Speaker 6 (32:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And it was like frog legs and some other stuff.
So wid I don't like the Chinese restaurant with the
red box. Should I have to apologize.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like him? It ain't the food. No, So should I.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Apologize because I'm mad they only gave me five script
in my box?
Speaker 8 (32:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
No, no, no, and no, this is ridiculus. Look she
didn't like. They're like, this is garbage. She didn't even
do any of that.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Cracked a joke about we have gotten too sensitive? How
many times we talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Lilian she don't work here anymore? About her like she
was she was the hr person.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Oh yeah, so we always say Lilyan. Chris used to
yell it all the time if somebody said something out
of pocket.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Well, it's man, no, whatever happened to being able to
have an opinion, and it wasn't. Now you can say,
all right, that was a little you know, if if
that I could see if somebody that was you know,
maybe their culture, their cuisine being a little like all right, dang,
hold on now, But you knew what her intention was.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Her tension was just like this ain't for me. I
don't like it, and we've gone too far, man.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
And even if she said, even if she wanted to
a politicize, she's like, I'm a bad y'all didn't meaning
like that cool, but I'm lost of words. I have
no words, and I am taking a back like now
you're doing too much.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
First thing I would have thought about if I saw
the plate as, I would have said, how did they walk?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Because it's.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Rob hushions and Rob Man, this is absolutely that we've
gone too far, man. And what what I've noticed is
that it's other people who are telling the other said
group that they're they're offended.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It's it's the well, you're.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Offending because somebody said, somebody said something like this, like man,
something they said, comedian cracks show, something went to do
movie theater. I couldn't really hear because it was so
you know, the black folks allowed the movie theater. And
then they'll be like Kelvin and Rob, are you you're
offended by that? Not that that's kind funny?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Ain't gonna lie?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
We do?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
We kind of allowed to that. I'm gonna lie. No, No,
you're offended? Should I have been offended?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
My old radio partner Mike Stone, we all went out
to a group, you know, double dates with our wives
and girlfriends and everybody from the station.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Rob.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
We went to a soul food restaurant Steve so Fill
in Detroit. All is that still up there? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I don't think Steve was right back in those days.
You must have suggested, okay, so we went. So should
I have been offended? When when Stony's wife, they're Jewish,
go to Steve's soul food as she orders a caesar
salad at a soul food restaurant because right venture off
the you know what it was on the menu, she
(35:14):
had a right to order it. I wasn't offended that
she didn't order soul food. But did you put no
she didn't want to try it? You ain't put up
on game. Some yams, some sweet potatoes. And you know
what I say to people like Cindy more for us,
you don't want to anybody who's gonna have to yam?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Did all the other stores craze potato? How is that racist? Alex?
What did I say?
Speaker 6 (35:38):
ROBERI rob g that this is there's no still going
too far this topic. And it makes it worse is
that she did that. Yes, sometimes you gotta stand ten
toes downstad on business and be like, I mean, hey,
I said it, and.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I just hope whoever was in her comments that made
her feel so bad that she had to apologize that
they would include the kind of food that they like
that their culture eats. It's like one of the foods
that I enjoy is for breakfast is if you ever
had Anu. Though they have some bomb albums, thank you
so racist. Two of the prim ingredients are the lining
(36:14):
of a cow's stomach, which is beef tripe if you
want to eat nice about it, let's grow okay.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
And pig's feet. I can't understand. I like it, but
that might sound gross to you. But listen and lessen
our people. There's a whole bunch of our people who
still eat Chitlin's and you got to walking about, and
it's being prepared to walking out. Big Mama is making chillings.
(36:39):
You like, oh, and it's it's horrible. I'm not offended
if you were like, yo, I'm not eating pig and
testes with feces and I am. I ain't about to
put it. Yes, I'm not telling you know now what
you might want to eat is what she's about to
tell you about. You might want to eat this, you
(37:04):
name it, You might want to eat that. See greens, beans, tomatoes.
You got the fast version, sway the remix. Look at
the sway, the remix version, greens, the beans, tomatoes.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
That all sounds good. Mark quickly, you're from New Orleans.
There she she had an apologized for this.
Speaker 11 (37:21):
No and this is this is this is symptomatic of
a bigger disease. I call it press release. I just
you don't have to release a press release. You don't
have to like, no one cares. But but she this
was her star, this was her star moment. And her
team was like, we can't ruin this. You're hot right now.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
And that's but she didn't do anything. Everybody's paranoid. You're
gonna offend somebody. She should have just told him this
what I like.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You don't want to get cool bared. This is what
she should have said. Y'all know what I like. That's
my favorite. This is on my plate.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Minutes talking about apologizing over food that you don't like.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean, where are we you can't like anything? Well,
it's just absolutely crazy, Rob Gene. It was a story,
a long one today.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was that the Athletic It was ESPN dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
ESPN dot com. Sorry but I get mixed up with
the two. But anyway, about the Clippers situation with Kawhi
and uh, it was interesting. Yeah, Baxter Holmes does a
great job over there.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
He's one of the few guys who still does long
form investigative journalism for ESPN and and uh it's great work.
So we know that this Kawhi Leonard situation has been
percolating now for a few weeks. The whole situation with
uh aspiration and the under the table deal to circumvent
the salary cap. Well, Baxter did a deep dive into
the whole situation with the Clippers, and here's the lead paragraph,
(02:52):
and I'll get to a quote later just to give
you some context, because he wrote a hell of like
five thousand words on this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
During the six season.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Is the clippers blockbuster twenty nineteen acquisition of Kawhi Leonard.
The team has won just three playoff series and Leonard
has played only fifty eight percent of its games. But
that failure extends further because from nearly since the moment
Leonard signed in Los Angeles, Steve Balmer and the team
have also drawn unprecedented and serious scrutiny from the NBA
League Office and the rest of the NBA. Since twenty nineteen,
(03:20):
the Clippers have faced two separate lawsuits alleging tampering, one
of which is ongoing. They've been fined at least twice
by the NBA for violations of leagues involving Kawhi Leonard.
They've also had at least three separate investigations, one of
which just began into the Clippers involving Kawhi Leonard. So
basically he doesn't play, he's always injured, and on top
(03:42):
of that, he's brought all kinds of the FEDS all
around the Clippers organization. So much so that a anonymous
former Clippers staffer went on record and said.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Another jealous former employee go ahead in the article. Quote
it wasn't a current employee right now for who's not
working here anymore.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I mean, if you read the article here, a lot
of people out the allegedly because Kawhi was so difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's what he said. Quote.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
This last investigation talking about the aspiration one is different.
This one directly calls into question Steve Bamer's character. At
some point, Steven's got to get out of the Kawhi business.
They're done building around him. They know that he knows
that end quote. So, guys, really easy question right off
the rip. If you're Steve Balmer and the opportunity presents itself,
(04:32):
whether because you're forced to do it or because the
heat gets so high you feel like you have to
do it, should the Clippers get out of the Kawhi business?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Closed?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Shot, closed, out of business, grant opening, grand closing for me,
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
If I'm Steve Bamer. We gave it a shot. We
gave it a shot.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
We did everything he wanted, Uncle Dennis wanted, Uncle Bob,
uncle Jim, uncle Auntie, whoever. We did everything the family wanted.
And what did we get? What's the ROI? What is
our return on investment? That would be my thing. Sometimes
things just hey, it's worn out, it's welcome, it's time
to move on. You just mentioned I think you might
be spotting him a percentage when you say fifty eight
(05:15):
percent of the games he played, I don't think he's playing. No,
fifty eight played thirty one games last season. There are
seasons where he didn't play but nine games. He's hurt,
just doing it on himself, you know, choosing to be hurt.
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. The point is he's
not playing. And when you look at some other things
as well, it's not as if you've got any trophies
for it. It's not as if he's got any MVPs
(05:36):
for It's not he's gotten any notoriety, any fame, anymore lights,
anymore bright. He doesn't break go about the organization. If
you read further into that story, he doesn't want to
be mentioned. He tells him, you can't bring my name up,
you can't talk about me, so you can't even like
pump him up, and he can't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Be this person that's raw.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Rod makes everybody want to come watch the team and
invest in the team and be about it. And so
to me, he didn't bring any right lights. The only
live ce brother with the spotlight now into this. He
is a heck of a player, one of the best
I've ever seen when healthy. But it's time to move on.
I have nothing new game from it. If I'm Steve Baumber,
I'm invested. I've done things. There's alleged things that may
(06:14):
have made not happen. We'll see whatever happens in the investigation.
I've done all I can do. I got a new
arena over here. I didn't time brought play you wanted
Paul George, he got Paul George. Here, got rid of SGA,
who's now got an MVP, who's got a championship.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's time to move on.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This version of the Clippers ain't even wasn't even more
entertaining than Lop City.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Love City at least was more entertaining. And we talked
about them more.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
And we had big aspirations for the Love City Clippers.
So Kawhi Leonard heck of a player, heck of a talent,
And it's okay to cut ties and move on, cutting
ties like I'm cutting.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
His car rolls. I'm moving on.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
So I'm out of it. I've tried it. I need
to move on. If I'm Steve Bomber, if I'm TYLERU,
we gotta move on. I don't even know what's if
you read into that story, you just never know. He
never tells you information. He doesn't talk to you. He
tells you, in fact, don't worry about this, don't do this.
I have the right to not do this. I have
the right to not do that. Too many stipulations. I'm good.
(07:12):
I'm moving on. Thank you, God, bless you. Ahalla couldn't
disagree more?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Are you kidding me? Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Steve Balmer understands there's a he didn't have to win
eight championships. He didn't have to win. He is banking
on the idea that he can just get one.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He has one less than Lebron who's been here. The
Lakers have given Lebron everything, made all these trades brought
in Luca. They couldn't even get out of the first round. Right,
that's when Luca, a twenty five year old All All
NBA player and Lebron couldn't even get out of first round.
Everybody had them going to the Western Conference finals. It's
(07:52):
only about winning one, that's all that Steve Balmer wants
to wins, not what he says. No, I'm telling you
that still takes his one and if he can get
one and for once the stars aligned and somehow he
can be healthy and play. You got a great coach
in ty Lou. You got James hard who has acquiesced
(08:14):
and was able to fit into what you know works
here and not have to be the same player and
some other players.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There's nothing here that you wouldn't want to run it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Back and hope that maybe just one day, your luck
is going to be in your favor because you have
a guy who win healthy is one of the best
players in the league. And I get it, he's not
healthy all the time, and that's what's been the big
bugg a boo. But when he's healthy and you watch
this guy play in certain situations, he's tremendous. He's worth
(08:48):
the price of a mission. He's that good and he's
worth it, and the Clippers have to feel good if
you're Steve Balmer that you were able to get a
guy who won two championships to come, not team up
with Lebron, not go to the big brother, but to
go to the little brother, no matter what it is,
and you could you could not cowhid for whatever the
late The Clippers were the ones who broke the rules if.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They did, you know what I mean? And all that
other thing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You could ask for the moon Okay, you could have
asked for the moon coming here, and if Fox Sports
decides to give it to you, that's on them or
or you know, or whatever it is it is. You
could ask for whatever. The company is the one that
has to decide that they're going to bend the rules
or do whatever it is to get you or to
pacify you. I just ka WHI to me? I can't
(09:33):
criticize a guy who's injured. That's not his fault. Do
I believe that he doesn't want to play? I don't
believe that. I think people are ludicrous to think that
he doesn't want to play or doesn't want to win.
This guy's been a winner his whole life. This is
where he's been a winner. This is where I challenge you.
I don't think he doesn't want to win. I think
(09:53):
he wants to win his own way. And if you
read it, I tell you what that means. He comes
with too many stipulations about being heard. I'm not, but
that's the lation. So yeah, in this piece, he Rodan
talking about I only want to play this. I'm not
playing backs back, I'm not doing this. Too many knots
when I'm trying to win. It's too many knots because
when I have to win, I have to count on this.
I have to be you have to be open that
(10:14):
I might have to play you this minin a minutes,
or might have to play you these games.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
It's too much that comes into trying to win a championship.
You said a couple of things. I don't like the
fact that you're if I'm baking on James Harden, who
ain't ever showed up in the postseason, and I'm baking
on Kawhi who's hardly ever healthy, and I'm baking on
Bradley Beal, no deal, it ain't happening. That's what this is.
Absolutely not happening. And I know you just talked about, well,
(10:39):
you know, at least they got Lebron. You can look
at the Brett Krumber with Lebron, you got a championship
with Lester.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Get which is questionable. You got a championship you got.
That's the one that he got. You got it the
years when Lebron wouldn't even make the.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Watch though, watch this and I'll get you that. Watch this.
I got a championship. I got all types of more
notoriety and fame. We're talking about the Lakers. They're talking
about what.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Goes without saying the Lakers have always Ron don't.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Absolutely no, they're one of the best franchises. D agree.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
And part of that because they know who they do,
they know how to do business. That's getting stars. And
then because of Lebron, I get a D. And because
of a D, I now have Luca. So the ripple
effect of it, I still.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Has Lebron's performance here, This is what you expected that
he get one bubble bubble championship when he came at
least two.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
But you got the one if you're the Lakers and
if you're the Clippers. That was the whole point the Clippers,
but all they need is one. They're not even close
to getting it, and now the guy that you gave
up to get them look like he might win another
one with his team, and that's g A.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And so my thing is, I can't separate. The day
that you have them winning another championship is far fetch.
That's not it's far fetched to me. I don't I doubt.
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
If you said it, don't I cool with that far fetches?
Come on, that's not crazy. No, that's not crazy. It
is because the.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Teams don't win back to back. But that's not teams
don't win bought back to back, Clippers winning, No felt,
teams don't win back to back. That's my point. Just
like somebody would have told you, okay see, winning was
far fetch, you didn't have okay see winning five years.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Ago when they made the trade, or three years ago.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
But I mean, I'm already how many years was far
I'm in the Kawhi years now, since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, but he hasn't been fully healthy and he won't.
That's the post my issue. He hasn't been fully high.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I can't separate.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
All I need is one year of a fully healthy
Kawhi with a great coaching.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Tylui, that ain't nothing you just said is that he's
never been fully healthy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's not even like I would love for that. Yeah, well,
not never fully healthy.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I mean to play like a full James Harden never
shows up when you need him. Bradley Beal hadn't done
anything really outstairs and started scoring in his career, and
and and then a bunch of other pieces around Like
what that? That to me is not Warren, especially when
you look at the Red Denver got better. Okay, see
you got all their Greek, kept all their young guys.
You know, you got all these other teams in the
East who look like they're gonna improve. I just don't
(13:04):
see how they're a part of this up. The Houston
Rockets got KDE, they look like they're improving. Minnesota still
out there. I mean, I just don't see where they
fit into this. And I can't keep going along. I gave,
it's been long enough. It's okay to we have knowing.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You have no plan, man, you know you can you
selling ticket sponsorships?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What are you talking about? What did the idea? Did
not see the tickets? Because you don't know if you're
gonna see Kawi the idea that you're gonna get out
of the Kawhid hope. I see Kawhi today, roll these dice.
Here we go back. Oh, crapped out. He's not playing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's called the NBA. You don't know what show, who
started it? You don't know who's the picture of it.
But Kawhi Leonards he hurt. I don't know, Yeah, I do.
I look up load management. I see Kawhi some corn
rolls somewhere. That's what I see. What is Load's management?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is me and a fun guy? That is load management? No,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The load management did not start there where they start.
They didn't start with with him.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, it did not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It was Tim Duncan and those other guy. Wasn't let
me get that. No, that's not me getting no, no, no,
it wasn't let me become the poster child for one
old man. It was once he got hurt, all right,

Leonard two years ago? All right, he's not a leader,
he's not even You can't win with Leonard as your

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Can say that he's won two champions anymore?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Rock Rock Rock?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Did you watch and see what he did in Toronto?
It was a masterful job.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Rob, Rob.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
How many years is a business?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Then?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Rob, nobody hasn't been healthy when he's healthy. This year,
they got a chance to win. Rob, You're gonna be
We're going to my grandkids somebody.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Why ever? Healthy? Why Leonard will never play at least
sixty games in this season? He won't do it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh, absolutely, don't give you fifty this year. I'm thinking
about I'm thinking about eighty this year.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Rob, Rob.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Let me ask, Let me ask if they prove with
this investigation, right, if something has proven it comes down
the pike, do you think the Clippers will snipping anything
irrelevant anytime.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Soon this year? Yes, I think they got a chance
in the Western Conference.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
If the investigation goes south and it's determined that they were.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
In the wrong, good luck on that. Good luck on that.
I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't sound like Eric.
I'm just saying, Hey, I'm figured it.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Outright, Rob Tennis, I said, hello.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
No, you beat me to it. Have we ever seen
Uncle Dennis?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Are you uncle Dennis? I'm not Uncle dinnis breaking news,
Martin Weiss.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
This is he's becoming in the shadows.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Tell me he's no Eric, I figured it out.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I've never seen uncle Dennis and Rob parking the same
at the same building at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Are you our uncle Dennis?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It makes sense now, Dion in Texas, you're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
What's up? Dion?
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Hey, what's guys?
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Hey man?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Rob?
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Do not compare Kawhi to Lebron.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Ever, Lebron has played in nine.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
All of his I'm talking about coming to LA and
winning like and there you go. He went, he won
one and Kawhi won none.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
That's gonna play.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
He wasn't going to play, so he couldn't help Lebron
win a championship if he's not on the court.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They wanted him, They offered them a big contract to
come to the Lakers. He turned them down. Stop it.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
And if he were the stepped the contract, he could
have played for ten years. He wouldn't have never played
enough games to win a championship.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
If he was on a team.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You don't think they would have won a champ with them,
A d and Lebron even if he played. Okay, come on,
you're gonna say that again. With those three players, they
wouldn't won a Championship.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Come on, if Kawhi played Kawhi, I'm not worried about Lebron.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They won.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
What up?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
They won with Lebron and a D If the Kawhi
was on the team, you're telling me they want to
go win the Jam.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They win. They went multiple more than one.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Kawhi never plays.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
That's why the Clippers hadn't run anything I would run.
I'm out the Kawhi.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Leonard Sweet states, I'm out all right, MJ and New Orleans.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 3 (20:35):

if Cam Newton could wear a costume want CV every day,
why can I man that man look like.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Said I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Wow, all right, all right, look, let me give a
shout out to Rob g Man. I always forget to
do that, so let me give it to him. Steve
boma A ka Max money Bags has the cop to.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
This charge aka fall on the Sword. I love watching
Kawhi ball as much as he loves watching Jordan Akio
and videos of mort. I blame Jaja for two of you.
Let's keep the ball rolling.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
They came too far.
Speaker 9 (21:37):

Turn off your station? That's right, remember that? Turn off
your station? Now? I remember.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I know the player was timeing. I heard Mike Tyson
talking to interview a sline throw you off?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
How does that go? How does that match with his
you know what I mean? Tough guy person. I do
think that's what made it. Also, I can that's why
he had a fight. Yeah he had to fight. Yeah
in Brownsville. Oh man, you talk about regret, man, just

start to regret. It's people walking around now bring damage

Speaker 6 (22:35):
A worship Wednesday. Ache knees if you gotta stip back,
if your joints on cooperated. By the way, I got
a nice massage today. I was dealing with some of
this stuff. I should have just went ahead and took
a leave. Because one pill a lead provides up to
twelve hours of pain relief, so you can keep moving
us as directed. So on those days when you're filling
a beat down, go take in a leave, all right.
(22:56):
The owner we're talking about the Tom Brady. We talked
a little bit about that before I had to leave yesterday,
a little bit about that, but a lot of you got.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
People coming out now, owners coming out.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
People are talking about Tom Brady and advantage or disadvantage
or maybe no advantage at all that he has with
his position with Fox and then also.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Being a minority owner with the Raiders. You kind of
going back to what we were talking about a little bit.
Are you okay with this?
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You have, well, you see where he has an advantage
over other minority owners or pokes in his position.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I think it's the rob g like the owner, right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I mean there's an owner coming out and saying it
isn't not just me or somebody not in the business.
This is an owner saying yes, of course, this is
an obvious conflict of interest. You could you could paint
it or spind it any way you want. He has
inside information, he's able to talk. He's an owner, talk
to players, put a bug in their ear. You know,
(23:48):
we love the you know you know you're a free agent.
I'm just saying, man, I love what you do. Tom
Brady gets to come up to you and smooth and
talk to Do you understand what I'm saying? Where normally
that would be tampering he can't talked to my players, right,
So I think it's an obvious conflict of interest. I
don't even know where, like what what would be the
(24:11):
idea of the NFL saying no, I just I don't
see it. I think the NFL.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Is so invested in Tom Brady, the man and the brand,
that they're gonna do whatever it's possible to. But I
mean we've already seen it. They've already changed the rules enough.
Last year we were having this conversation and he was
not supposed to do X, Y and Z. Well now
they said, well he can't do Z, but he can't
do X and Y. And how long before they say, okay,
well he can do X, Y and Z only because
(24:39):
of this? What are they invested in Tom Brady's like answer,
because it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That can be true.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
But I think it's because of the brand, the name,
and he's everything about him is winning. It's Tom Brady.
But Netflix has given him the roads and he's getting
the money from me. That's all the commercials.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But football, I don't care. John Madden was was one
of those icond of figures. The TV ratings didn't go
down because John Madden died or was off the when
he left NBC. I'm just saying the importance of get
it nobody's bigger than the Because Michael Jordan left the NBA,
the league didn't fall off the air nobody.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't care. Barry Bond. Everybody watched Barry Bond. But look,
but here's why. None of that's business.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
It's not about going backwards. It's cannot go one percent forward.
So I don't think the NFL is gonna fall off
if Tom Brady wasn't on calls. I think for them
it's if you know, I'm making it up. If we're
getting an eight share, meaning eight million people making a
twenty share, twenty million people watching, can we get to
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I don't think it's going backwards.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
I think business is long's trying to go forward, but
they think if we can bring It's the reason why
NBC is bringing Michael Jordan to NBC because it's like Jordan, I.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Want to watch it until you watch when he's recorded
on and in And the same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think we make too big of a deal about
announcers on games. I really do, because ultimately, what decide
whether or not people watch or what's the game that's on?
You might the only thing most people do announcers is
not that I like somebody, but I dislike them, and
I'll turn the radio on or turn it down or
(26:13):
something because I don't like I hear, you know, like
it's not Oh, I don't care what game is on.
Al Michaels is broadcasting the game I want to. I'm
gonna watch it. I think it's just the other way
that people don't like certain announcers, and that might turn
them off to watching something or putting on another venue.
I just don't believe that someone's gonna watch a bad
(26:34):
Jacksonville game because Tom Brady's doing.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Announcers are like offensive linemen. I don't want to hear
from you. And that's a compliment because that means you
ain't doing nothing wrong, right you. The only time if
announcers on the game, you just sit there and watch
the game. You just ay they're doing they're bad. You
saw man, you get on Twitter, you get on that.
Oh who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He sucks? She sucks? Why are they on?
Speaker 6 (26:54):
If they're good? Most of the time, you you don't
even acknowledge, you like a good offensive lineman. You didn't
even know if they were there. You're like, oh, I
didn't forget he was there. You know what, I'm getting
three fall starts in the.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Game, even though was this guy even at CBS where
they decided, uh.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That that I'm just the quarterback, Oh my god from
the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh uh Tony Romo, Tony Romo who got off to
a hot start.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
He was predicting everything.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Then it became so bad and and he was wrong
on a lot they told him to stop, you know
what I mean. Like that, like that's where you can
factor in where people go. I can't want to listen
to the game. He's he's predicting every play. They're wrong
a lot, you know what I mean, And it started
to hurt the broadcast.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Actually, yeah, I think the going back to a little
bit with the Tom Brady, I just think he's too
he has too much innoventive advantage to just be able
to be around, to mix and mingle, to get information,
to talk it, chop it up with guys, you know.
And again remember ultimately he's a competitive person. He's going
to do what I'm invested in. I want to succeed
(27:57):
when I'm invested in. I want to win.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'm invest which is fine with the creators. And so
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
So him on the call, doing all that, being around
all these other organizations, getting inside scoops and building relationships
with here Chip Kenne I talk to him three four
days a week. You don't think he's saying something. Man,
I was over here, I'm over there. This's what they're
doing I like the way they're doing this. I don't
like the way they're doing it. Hey, they got this
guy receiver.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
He has a way bigger advantage to people because he's
out there.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Owners on traveling around.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
They don't get to see every team, They don't get
to go in a lot of room talk to certain players.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's not what an owner gets to do, you know what,
Like that's a huge advance, even more than owners. You
coming in with the cachet that you're him.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Right, he already has Kobe Bryant, god bless it dead,
or Lebron or Steph Curry, you know, MJ. And if
they come around, it's like reference like, oh man, you
chopping up, you kind of you almost naturally left your
left your guard. Now all you might share a little
bit too much, man, I'm thinking about doing this move
or yeah, man, the team right now. But he's a
former player player, he knows how to getting there with you,
chopping up with you and you don't let you hear
(29:01):
it now, Yeah he can get something, So let me
be cool. I'm not saying this is a world like,
oh my gosh, it's gonna change the world for the Raiders. Advantage,
but no, hey, listen, any for them, any little advantage
will take. We're the raiders, my bad Robgi, and they'll
take any little bit that they can get as well.
All right, on the way, we're gonna do a little
shop talk for you. Step away from the games and
(29:23):
talk a little something. This is an interesting one because
it involves food and what you can and can't say
around food.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Why are you making that?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I'm just saying, don't. I don't want anybody to hate
me because I don't like all food.

Speaker 6 (30:16):

world of sports, and this week we're cheating because this
one does involve sportsh You know. I don't know if
you heard about this one, guys, but uh American tennis
starred Taylor Townsend how to issue an apology because a
couple of days ago, she posted videos of local dishes
in China, including bullfrogs and turtles, on her social media
(31:53):
and she joked that she would need to quote talk
to hr about the quality of the food. She got
a lot of backline about it, and she said, Hey,
I gotta go on Instagram and apologize for it, saying, quote,
I just want to come on here and apologize sincerely
from the bottom of my heart. It's one of those
things I love so much about what I do. I
have nothing but the most amazing experiences and time here
(32:14):
in the job. Everyone has been so kind and so great.
She thinks I said, we're not representative of that at all.
I just truly want to apologize. No excuse, there are
no words for me. I just I will be better.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I will be better.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Should she have to apologize for not being a fan
of local Chinese food?
Speaker 6 (32:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And it was like frog legs and some other stuff.
So wid I don't like the Chinese restaurant with the
red box. Should I have to apologize.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like him? It ain't the food. No, So should I.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Apologize because I'm mad they only gave me five script
in my box?
Speaker 8 (32:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
No, no, no, and no, this is ridiculus. Look she
didn't like. They're like, this is garbage. She didn't even
do any of that.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Cracked a joke about we have gotten too sensitive? How
many times we talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Lilian she don't work here anymore? About her like she
was she was the hr person.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Oh yeah, so we always say Lilyan. Chris used to
yell it all the time if somebody said something out
of pocket.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Well, it's man, no, whatever happened to being able to
have an opinion, and it wasn't. Now you can say,
all right, that was a little you know, if if
that I could see if somebody that was you know,
maybe their culture, their cuisine being a little like all right, dang,
hold on now, But you knew what her intention was.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Her tension was just like this ain't for me. I
don't like it, and we've gone too far, man.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
And even if she said, even if she wanted to
a politicize, she's like, I'm a bad y'all didn't meaning
like that cool, but I'm lost of words. I have
no words, and I am taking a back like now
you're doing too much.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
First thing I would have thought about if I saw
the plate as, I would have said, how did they walk?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Because it's.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Rob hushions and Rob Man, this is absolutely that we've
gone too far, man. And what what I've noticed is
that it's other people who are telling the other said
group that they're they're offended.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It's it's the well, you're.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Offending because somebody said, somebody said something like this, like man,
something they said, comedian cracks show, something went to do
movie theater. I couldn't really hear because it was so
you know, the black folks allowed the movie theater. And
then they'll be like Kelvin and Rob, are you you're
offended by that? Not that that's kind funny?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Ain't gonna lie?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
We do?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
We kind of allowed to that. I'm gonna lie. No, No,
you're offended? Should I have been offended?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
My old radio partner Mike Stone, we all went out
to a group, you know, double dates with our wives
and girlfriends and everybody from the station.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Rob.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
We went to a soul food restaurant Steve so Fill
in Detroit. All is that still up there? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I don't think Steve was right back in those days.
You must have suggested, okay, so we went. So should
I have been offended? When when Stony's wife, they're Jewish,
go to Steve's soul food as she orders a caesar
salad at a soul food restaurant because right venture off
the you know what it was on the menu, she
(35:14):
had a right to order it. I wasn't offended that
she didn't order soul food. But did you put no
she didn't want to try it? You ain't put up
on game. Some yams, some sweet potatoes. And you know
what I say to people like Cindy more for us,
you don't want to anybody who's gonna have to yam?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Did all the other stores craze potato? How is that racist? Alex?
What did I say?
Speaker 6 (35:38):
ROBERI rob g that this is there's no still going
too far this topic. And it makes it worse is
that she did that. Yes, sometimes you gotta stand ten
toes downstad on business and be like, I mean, hey,
I said it, and.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I just hope whoever was in her comments that made
her feel so bad that she had to apologize that
they would include the kind of food that they like
that their culture eats. It's like one of the foods
that I enjoy is for breakfast is if you ever
had Anu. Though they have some bomb albums, thank you
so racist. Two of the prim ingredients are the lining
(36:14):
of a cow's stomach, which is beef tripe if you
want to eat nice about it, let's grow okay.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
And pig's feet. I can't understand. I like it, but
that might sound gross to you. But listen and lessen
our people. There's a whole bunch of our people who
still eat Chitlin's and you got to walking about, and
it's being prepared to walking out. Big Mama is making chillings.
(36:39):
You like, oh, and it's it's horrible. I'm not offended
if you were like, yo, I'm not eating pig and
testes with feces and I am. I ain't about to
put it. Yes, I'm not telling you know now what
you might want to eat is what she's about to
tell you about. You might want to eat this, you
(37:04):
name it, You might want to eat that. See greens, beans, tomatoes.
You got the fast version, sway the remix. Look at
the sway, the remix version, greens, the beans, tomatoes.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
That all sounds good. Mark quickly, you're from New Orleans.
There she she had an apologized for this.
Speaker 11 (37:21):
No and this is this is this is symptomatic of
a bigger disease. I call it press release. I just
you don't have to release a press release. You don't
have to like, no one cares. But but she this
was her star, this was her star moment. And her
team was like, we can't ruin this. You're hot right now.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
And that's but she didn't do anything. Everybody's paranoid. You're
gonna offend somebody. She should have just told him this
what I like.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You don't want to get cool bared. This is what
she should have said. Y'all know what I like. That's
my favorite. This is on my plate.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
