(00:00):
Wasn't I going to talk back anyway? He is right? Is it good?
Is it about a heist? Uh? Yeah a second? Oh my,
get it right? Change our mindis gone. Nope, alry guys.
Audio way it goes Man's Big TimeRadio for you. It is two
(00:24):
thirty five. Right now we'll havejust bucket of crap coming up here,
although that's kind of what we justheard. Hollywood Swinger will be at three
thirty five, but right now it'stime for this. Hey, look you
guys, it's me. Whoa,I'm at the sports desk. Look at
him and the way that we haveto start the sports desk today. We
(00:46):
do not have an option. Ladiesand gentlemen. We have to talk.
How about the Dallas Stars. Igotta do something in the other room.
Nope, you have to stay forthis TC. It's important. It's important.
But you don't want to talk aboutthe stars. It's the last thing
I want to do. Why youhate hockey? Yeah, it's boring.
(01:10):
I mean I don't hate it,it's just it's boring. I don't want
to talk about it, you know, like I hate it whenever it's like
being forced on me. If itwas just like a neutral thing that was
just out there. Yeah, Ididn't have to interact with it. I
wouldn't say that like I'd go outof my way to dedicate time to bringing
it down. I would love totalk about hockey, but I don't speak
the language. See, I wasthinking about this. I think I'm actually
doing the Stars fans a great favorby not talking about it, because you
(01:36):
will have I'm sure it's every sport, but because hockey is the one that
I don't partake in the most.If you do try to talk about it,
what you get is angry text fromfans who do do all the games,
and they're like, your stupid head, and I'm like, well,
I was just trying to talk aboutthe team. Sorry. That's one angle.
They speak the language, you don't. But I think the more prominent
(01:57):
angle under which I'm doing Stars fansa great service by representing this position is
anyone who doesn't talk Stars, theyget in their head that this person hates
the Stars and has it out forthem. Oh and now you've actually voiced
it. I've given them a target, you know, right. But you
chose to give them a target.You could have just been like, oh,
(02:19):
yeah, they have one, butI wanted to do them a favor.
I'm looking out for I'm I letme great to all listeners. Let
me ask you this. Do youlike it when teams around here are good?
If it's in aspects that I careabout, Yeah, But if it's
if the Stars are good, itjust means they're going to play extra games.
You guys are probably going to talkabout it during the playoffs. I'm
gonna have to find something else todo to their those segments. Yeah,
(02:42):
it's kind of an extra burden onme. I hope that they are as
bad as they could possibly be,because that means that they'll get less attention
focused on them. Should I justskip it? Mike? No, No,
let's do it. If you're notgoing, I'm into it. You
like the Stars, yes, Ido. Do you love the Stars as
much as I can love anything associatedwith that sport? All right? I
(03:06):
don't know if I love any ofit, but I do like the Stars,
and I think the Stars are verygood. You've been going to a
lot of games I have been,and I think the Stars are very viable
Stanley Cup contenders. Yeah, TC, if you can do me a favor,
zip, I can't say I hatethe Stars hockey sucks and then ask
(03:27):
follow ups to Mike about the hockeystuff. I just gotta yeah, I
didn't think you were just follow instructionsimmediately something else Stars, Uh, Mike,
what the Stars did to Edmonton asthey flacked that ass? They did
like that ass. And that's apretty good team too, I believe you.
(03:50):
They beat them five to nothing.It is a team record eighth win
in a row for your Dallas Stars. Otter stopped thirty five shots for his
second straight shutout. So now I'lltell you this Stars fan is a guy
who hadn't been paying attention. ButI know it's about time. We got
like two weeks left to the playoffs. Here I come checking in. Uh,
I'm old enough to remember when wewere really worried about Otter. Sounds
(04:11):
like he's turned his thing around,it does. That was just a couple
of weeks ago. He was ina slumpy actually got benched for a game
or two. But that was asgood as I've ever seen him last night,
And they have now where did thenumber go ahead? And number one?
They have like seven guys that havescored twenty goals this year. Yeah,
(04:34):
it's a very balanced team. Wyattscored his thirtieth. Yes, Whyt's
cafeteria is open around here, man. Oh yeah, Like Jamie Ben's good
at hockey again. We're in firstplace in the Western Conference TC, at
the very top. Yeah here,you can come back. Okay, the
(04:56):
time raided popping. Yeah, thestars. Jamie Benn one of the older
guys on the team, playing ona line with two young guys and number
one. That's the kind of thinga lot of old guys would really want
no part of. Yeah, becauseyou now you got to speed up and
stuff. You gotta be like,damn, y'all are going fast. Huh.
You're kind of about out of rhythmwith those guys. How could you
(05:18):
not love a team with a personaldynamo like Jamie Benn is the face?
All right, well, I don'tthink he's the face of this thing anymore.
I think we should go back.I feel you there, and I'll
say he's the leader of the teamwho when they were playing a game for
their playoff lives, just got himselfthrown out like eight seconds in but unexplainedly
(05:40):
trying to kill a guy. Uhthor I can worry about that. He
seems sweet. He's a wonderful captain, they tell me, so back off.
Do you get a buzzer screw hockey? Is that? All? Well?
Get they won, They're really good. They're in first place in the
West. All right, Okay,eight in a row, very balanced team.
(06:01):
All right. I don't have more. Okay, I don't have more.
Okay, that's fine. If it'sso good a second, you don't
this is the sports desk. Ifit's such a great, awesome fun time,
how come you don't even watch ituntil there's two weeks left in the
season, Because to me, it'snot an awesome, great fun time or
that's actually not necessarily true. Ienjoy, I would say a live hockey
(06:26):
game, I enjoy more than alive whatever you're gonna say, I disagree.
I wonder if I'm lying you doyou are? You're trying those It's
like, I don't watch stars hockeyfor the most part, unless it's playoffs
or near playoffs, like there's enoughmomentum to be like, Okay, I'm
in. But I go to multiplegames a year and I always have a
(06:46):
wonderful time. Live hockey is lovely. Now That's the way I'd always been
this year, or up until thisyear. I didn't watch it all that
much, but now I'm locked inon every game. Well, then you
tell me, how's rope Hey,what's the stuff? Who are we doing?
Wow? What's Robertson doing? Hegood? Well, what you've got
is you've got about well, they'reactually four lines good and that's very unusual
(07:11):
in the game of hockey. Usually, if you got two, you're a
pretty good team. If you've gota three, you're a contender. They
got four. I like that.I think we should win. That's something
to like. And that's something thatreally sets them apart. And I didn't
know what to think about Pete deBoor, but I will say this about
him. He's got his team playingits best hockey at the right time.
(07:35):
See this is we okay, Seethis is Next time at the desk,
I'm gonna be like stars five nothing, Mike, and you're gonna be like,
here's some hockey stuff, and theneverybody wins. That's what we're gonna
do. And then TC's gonna belike show stupid stoops food. Yeah,
he's gonna be over there dreaming ofWhite Sox baseball. So I'm doing Elise
(07:56):
Robert googling Bears ninth over we getfor Garrett Crochet's next start buzzer Replease,
who are they going to pick anine? Well, I'll tell you TC.
I think it's so exciting. Ithink I think about two top ten
picks. I think in a perfectworld, we're gonna get the best quarterback
in the last fifteen years, andthen we're also going to get someone else
(08:18):
at nine. In a perfect world, what happens for you? For your
Bears people, let's here's a ninetyseconds of Chicago sports for you. I
think in a perfect world, withoutknowing their team inside out, that the
dream would be that like four quarterbacksgo in the top nine, which isn't
impossible, and then Joe Alt andmaybe you get the Penn State offensive tackle
(08:43):
and find a way to push oneof the three best receivers down to nine.
And then Caleb Williams comes in andhe's thrown to Romo Doonzay or so.
I think that Dounday is going tobe there. I think you should
pick him. I'd like I wouldlike it very much if we could pick
a Doonzay. I think he's lovely. Yeah, Mike, who would you
take with Bears first round pick?I guess I would take Caleb Williams,
okay, and that we're gonna dothat, well, I mean that's we'll
(09:05):
be rocking. That's kind of thechalk. Yeah, But I don't see
anyway that they wouldn't take him.However, we're taking him. That's done.
However, I think there's a greaterthan zero chance you're gonna be very
disappointed with him. Uh oh.I'm also worried about that. I don't
know if he can run an offense. I don't know he hits his back
foot, gets it out to theright man. I don't know that he
had a single snap where he hithis back foot and just throw the ball.
(09:28):
And I don't like that he looksan adventure I don't like that he's
like, Hut, all right,the play's over. Time to do stuff,
all right? Well, if Igot the one one, I don't
want an adventure. I want someonewho runs the offense in a crisp,
efficient manner. And if there's noquarterback, I look for something else that
I need. We could we couldtrade him Dak yep. Could do that
(09:52):
and just try to localize it.Buzz repleats Dak for the one one.
I mean, I do that hurtbeat. Everybody would everybody but the Bears
would do that and a hurtbeat.Uh, and you might bust. But
hell, let's have some fun.Right. Here's the good news, though,
you don't have to worry about dakor the Cowboys because it appears we
are getting the Dallas Texans back,so we're gonna have Pat Mahomes and so
(10:18):
that'll be great. We can stopworrying about the Cowboys and we could just
cheer for our old team who leftbecause not enough people cared about him.
They're coming back. Maybe, seethat's why they're not coming back, because
that's not necessarily how I understand thingshappened, but that they left because no
one cheered about him. I thinkthey left because there was a sacred blood
oath that was consummated to the fiftyyard line of the Cotton Bowl Stadium between
(10:43):
Clint Murkison and Lamar Hunt. Onehundred percent. I mean, the Hunts
are still around here, dude,and Jerry here. Jerry has inherited Murkison's
promise. Whoever owns the franchise isbound by that blood. Oh right,
But Jerry's also a scumbag, sohe would gumback or not a blood oaths
and blood oaths Okay, yeah,blood oath is a blood. No.
(11:07):
So the Kansas City Chiefs, theythe taxpayers up there. Shout out to
them. I'd like to give aSammy Sosa thump thump, fingers to the
sky, Shout out to you guys. That is a city that told the
football team and baseball team like,nah, we're not going to just give
you more money to renovate stadiums,like, spend your own f and money.
(11:31):
It's a sound financial decision. Yeah. So they were trying to get
renovations at Arrowhead Stadium where the Chiefsplay, and a new stadium for the
Kansas City Royals, and they weregoing to pay for it over a forty
year sales tax thingy. And thepeople were like, nah, Mike,
are you with me that you wouldhave been distressed, especially about that Royals
(11:52):
bit about the Royals getting a newstadium abandoning Kaufman Stadium seems like a terrible
idea to me. I think it'sa gem. I've never been there,
so I really can't say with anydefinitive certainty, but I've not heard one
person ever have anything bad to sayabout it, even when it was all
AstroTurf. I've never been myself either, but the look of that narrowhead that
(12:15):
just very distinctive Swab seventies field.Yeah, it's kind of like I love
it. It's kind of like inKansas City, they set aside a whole
area just for those stadiums, justyou know, there's not a lot of
junk around it or anything like that, it seems, and I always kind
of liked that. I like thatthe stadiums have the same kind of like
(12:37):
design feel to them, and Ilike that design feel. I believe that
they did put a good amount ofmoney into renovating Kaufman. Yeah they did,
super long ago they did. Ilove the waterfalls out there. It's
not time for Kaufman to be redoneagain yet, not at all, and
they're talking about knocking it down andbuilding a new one. I'm glad the
voters made a good decision. Yeah, the voters told them to f off.
(12:58):
And Eric Johnson of Dallas is hethe guy who was like I used
to be a something, but nowI'm the other one? Uh huh?
Did he do that? Okay?Yeah? He And I'm disappointing the Dallas
Morning News too. But he jumpedon this the stadium renovation vote story,
and he shared it on his twitter'seat and he said welcome home Dallas,
(13:20):
Texans. And then the newspaper sayshe added a smiley face emotion. Really
yeah, he said welcome home DallasTexans. Hashtag Cotton Bowl. Haven't played
the Cotton Bowl. So would youleave Arrowhead? If you? If if
the reason you're leaving Kansas City,go to the Cotton Bowl. Yeah,
it's older than Arrowhead. No,you could not leave it. And God,
(13:41):
a related thing is they are puttinganother one hundred and forty million dollars
into the Cotton Bowl. This isgonna be one of the larger than I
would do the Cotton Bowl. Yeah, but it's still gonna be more.
It's gonna get it to about asgood as Arrowhead maybe can I it's not
a modern stage. I love it. Could never even approach Arrowhead. No,
the way they could ever approach itis to tear it down and build
(14:03):
a new one right on that side. Yeah, that is the only way.
That's not What if you're taking thebare bones of the con Bowl and
you're gonna renovate it and it wouldn'teven approach Jarrowhead. No, no,
can I ask a blasphem? CanI ask a dumb question about that stupid
idea in a fantasy world that's obviouslynot happening, that the Chiefs moved to
(14:24):
Dallas and you have two teams inDFW, which Jerry would never let happen.
He would have people behind the scenesliterally murder people. Oh yeah,
so if that happened, I thinkyou're not allegedly allowed to do this.
I would absolutely bail on the Cowboysand be like, let's go Chiefs if
(14:45):
you bring me Pat Mahomes team andI can stop cheering for Jerry's team.
And if they were playing in theCotton Bowl and it's actually Dallas, I
care about things like that. Yeah, it would be extremely close to my
house. I would jump. Iwould I mean, you know, I
would jump. I'm and I'm noteven I was raised right from a Bears
fan, for I die. Idon't jump based on what who's playing closest
(15:05):
to my house. But I certainlywould rank the Chiefs out of the Cowboys
in terms of mine. What ifthe owner of your team in Chicago had
extra children that he wasn't trying totake care of and well, it's just
being mean to people all the time. And then what if that lady had
all those things happening and she refusedto take the DNA test of is this
my child? That it works alittle different in that scenario, don't worry
(15:26):
about it. And then a newteam comes to town and your team is
annoying you and been annoying you forsome time, and now the new team
that comes to town has the bestplayer ever, Like it would be tempting
to just go, Okay, I'mgonna just I'm gonna watch this one.
I hear all what you're saying.But I was born a Bears fan.
Oh God, the same way Iwas born. And then you know,
like, I'm not gonna stop havingblonde hair. You know, I don't
(15:50):
think you're I wouldn't call that.I wouldn't call that blonde. Yeah,
I'm sure what i'd call it,but blond ain't it. I wouldn't call
that blonde. I don't think,Well, you be wrong. It is.
You know, like I'm a Bearsfan. It's part of my personal
identity. I you know, I'mwith them no matter what they do.
It's not if there was a thingthey could do to chase me away.
(16:11):
They've done it twenty times. Iwish I liked the Colvil owners straight up
in a heartbeat. Yeah, justbecause you'd have more fun stuff to talk
about that and like, you know, say what you will about Jerry,
like he cares about whether or notthe team is good. Like he doesn't
care enough, and you care anymoreabout the valuation the ninety eight year old
(16:33):
checked out, you know, likethat that's the owner. I want,
no, you don't. They gotno, they have no because I want
that owner to care enough to hirethe right people. And they don't care.
They don't. They don't. Theygot to care enough to hire the
right people and then not care.There's no struck calls up. There doesn't.
And the woman Virginia, yeah McCaskey, she doesn't make the calls.
(16:56):
But like that, that's part ofthe problem, you know, Like this
manager operated structure. You know,people will tell you it's not advantageous.
You want the person who owns itto the person director, the person making
the decisions needs to have skin inthe game. That's gonna make them.
Like it's a bit what Jeff wastalking about about the first generation owners versus
second generation owners. She is asecond generation owner. She's George Hollis's daughter,
(17:21):
so she don't care. Yeah,and she's ninety eight. She really
doesn't care. I think Ted Phillipsis the person who is showing up to
the office every day. That isnot the name of a guy who's going
to build you a winner. TedPhillips. Nothing against Ted personally, but
with all due respect, he's failedto build a winner for quite a while.
Now. Everyone named Ted Phillips listening. I bet you're good at something,
(17:44):
but you're not building football. TeacherMayor Eric Johnson. Oh, now
it says Ted's the former CEO,So I guess I'm wrong. You don't
even know your own team. Dallaswas named yet because it's it's Kevin Warren,
the Big ten guy who Kevin Warren, Right, Kevin, I don't
know Kevin Warren. Well, ourmayor said, Dallas was named the top
(18:07):
sports city in the United States becausewe played a win. As I've said
previously, our market's big enough,growing enough, and loves football more than
enough to support a second NFL team, especially a franchise and an owner with
deep roots here. Now, Jerryhad been asked about this before, and
he's his quote then this is intwenty twenty two. He said, you
(18:30):
can you can be rest assured,so you could be assured. You could
rest assured, but you should beassured. You can rest assured or you
can do it all. But Jerrywent with, you can be rest assured.
Nice that you would not have theNFL supporting another team because of the
(18:51):
kind of value that the game andthe NFL receives of having the Dallas Cowboys
of one of its marquee teams.And again, logic tells you the NFL
wouldn't want to water that down.So yeah, it's not actually gonna happen,
but it would be awesome and Icould fun to talk about. I
could cheer for Paddy and it wouldbe great. Quick buzzer please spokes doesn't
(19:15):
of course, the Dallas Texans tattoothat I have on my heart would be
valid. Again. Oh yeah,it's a good tattoo too. I think
you had to do some waxing beforeyou had that tattoo put on to your
heart, but it looks good.No, I was twelve at the time,
so yeah, it's smoking a sig. Getting your Texans tatt Yep,
the lawyer representing Kansas City Chiefs andfuture Dallas Texan wide receiver Rashi Rice,
(19:41):
said Thursday that the NFL player toldpolice he was driving one of the cars
and Saturday's multi vehicle hit and runcollision. At a sixteen minute news conference
where she Rice's attorney, State SenatorRoyce West said he expects charges to be
filed by Dallas police soon against Rashid. He said Rice was driving the Lamborghini
(20:04):
in the collision, which injured atleast four people left multiple vehicles damaged.
Hopefully, they called Franklin. FranklinWes said Rice had reached out to some
of the victims and will do everythingin his power to bring a sense of
normalcy back to their lives. Hesaid that he understands that people could have
been seriously injured, which is whyhe came forward. Uh huh. Yeah,
(20:25):
it's also why we really came forwardand stepped up at the time.
Huh yep, yep. But fivesix days later he was like, you
know what, someone could have beenhurt. I need to tell the world
that already knew that it was me, that it was me, because they
could have been hurt more whatever hesaid to the people whose cars got impacted.
(20:47):
If he had just said that atthe time instead of, as reported,
grabbed the guns and bounced out grabbedthe guns, I think it would
have been it would have been workingon Huh. Was there a little gun
grabbing allegedly, according to one personat least that's right, grab some stuff
out of their gun stuff. Yeah. The lady whose car they spun out,
(21:10):
the gray one the fun day accent. She said one of the other
bystanders that the crash scene saw themgrabbing weapons out of their vehicle before they
departed. Oh, so that's likea third hand report. I want to
be clear about that. However,if you're wondering why he would have such
a strong desire to get out ofthere quickly, it does explain a few
(21:30):
things. Yeah, I saw Isaw some of the stills. It looked
like he was carrying in an RPGrocket propelled grenade strapped across his back.
And I don't think that's necessarily true. He wasn't trying to fight the predator
coming up that is on behind us, which is bs that you guys get
to see the predator, and Idon't pretty cool coming up Next, it's
time for Jeff's bucket, oh crap, and some of the biggest news in
(21:53):
recent local history. I gotta hityou with somebody here will probably be dismissive. Next
Wasn't I going to talk back anyway? He is right? Is it good?
Is it about a heist? Uh? Yeah a second? Oh my,
get it right? Change our mindis gone. Nope, alry guys.
Audio way it goes Man's Big TimeRadio for you. It is two
(00:24):
thirty five. Right now we'll havejust bucket of crap coming up here,
although that's kind of what we justheard. Hollywood Swinger will be at three
thirty five, but right now it'stime for this. Hey, look you
guys, it's me. Whoa,I'm at the sports desk. Look at
him and the way that we haveto start the sports desk today. We
(00:46):
do not have an option. Ladiesand gentlemen. We have to talk.
How about the Dallas Stars. Igotta do something in the other room.
Nope, you have to stay forthis TC. It's important. It's important.
But you don't want to talk aboutthe stars. It's the last thing
I want to do. Why youhate hockey? Yeah, it's boring.
(01:10):
I mean I don't hate it,it's just it's boring. I don't want

being forced on me. If itwas just like a neutral thing that was

it down. I would love totalk about hockey, but I don't speak

You guys are probably going to talkabout it during the playoffs. I'm
gonna have to find something else todo to their those segments. Yeah,
(02:42):
it's kind of an extra burden onme. I hope that they are as
bad as they could possibly be,because that means that they'll get less attention
focused on them. Should I justskip it? Mike? No, No,
let's do it. If you're notgoing, I'm into it. You
like the Stars, yes, Ido. Do you love the Stars as
much as I can love anything associatedwith that sport? All right? I
(03:06):
don't know if I love any ofit, but I do like the Stars,
and I think the Stars are verygood. You've been going to a

at hockey again. We're in firstplace in the Western Conference TC, at
the very top. Yeah here,you can come back. Okay, the
(04:56):
time raided popping. Yeah, thestars. Jamie Benn one of the older

not love a team with a personaldynamo like Jamie Benn is the face?
All right, well, I don'tthink he's the face of this thing anymore.
I think we should go back.I feel you there, and I'll
say he's the leader of the teamwho when they were playing a game for
their playoff lives, just got himselfthrown out like eight seconds in but unexplainedly
(05:40):
trying to kill a guy. Uhthor I can worry about that. He
seems sweet. He's a wonderful captain, they tell me, so back off.
Do you get a buzzer screw hockey? Is that? All? Well?
Get they won, They're really good. They're in first place in the
West. All right, Okay,eight in a row, very balanced team.
(06:01):
All right. I don't have more. Okay, I don't have more.
Okay, that's fine. If it'sso good a second, you don't
this is the sports desk. Ifit's such a great, awesome fun time,
how come you don't even watch ituntil there's two weeks left in the
season, Because to me, it'snot an awesome, great fun time or
that's actually not necessarily true. Ienjoy, I would say a live hockey
(06:26):
game, I enjoy more than alive whatever you're gonna say, I disagree.
I wonder if I'm lying you doyou are? You're trying those It's
like, I don't watch stars hockeyfor the most part, unless it's playoffs
or near playoffs, like there's enoughmomentum to be like, Okay, I'm
in. But I go to multiplegames a year and I always have a
(06:46):
wonderful time. Live hockey is lovely. Now That's the way I'd always been
this year, or up until thisyear. I didn't watch it all that
much, but now I'm locked inon every game. Well, then you
tell me, how's rope Hey,what's the stuff? Who are we doing?
Wow? What's Robertson doing? Hegood? Well, what you've got
is you've got about well, they'reactually four lines good and that's very unusual
(07:11):
in the game of hockey. Usually, if you got two, you're a
pretty good team. If you've gota three, you're a contender. They
got four. I like that.I think we should win. That's something
to like. And that's something thatreally sets them apart. And I didn't
know what to think about Pete deBoor, but I will say this about
him. He's got his team playingits best hockey at the right time.
(07:35):
See this is we okay, Seethis is Next time at the desk,
I'm gonna be like stars five nothing, Mike, and you're gonna be like,
here's some hockey stuff, and theneverybody wins. That's what we're gonna
do. And then TC's gonna belike show stupid stoops food. Yeah,
he's gonna be over there dreaming ofWhite Sox baseball. So I'm doing Elise
(07:56):
Robert googling Bears ninth over we getfor Garrett Crochet's next start buzzer Replease,
who are they going to pick anine? Well, I'll tell you TC.
I think it's so exciting. Ithink I think about two top ten
picks. I think in a perfectworld, we're gonna get the best quarterback
in the last fifteen years, andthen we're also going to get someone else
(08:18):
at nine. In a perfect world, what happens for you? For your
Bears people, let's here's a ninetyseconds of Chicago sports for you. I
think in a perfect world, withoutknowing their team inside out, that the
dream would be that like four quarterbacksgo in the top nine, which isn't
impossible, and then Joe Alt andmaybe you get the Penn State offensive tackle
(08:43):
and find a way to push oneof the three best receivers down to nine.
And then Caleb Williams comes in andhe's thrown to Romo Doonzay or so.
I think that Dounday is going tobe there. I think you should
pick him. I'd like I wouldlike it very much if we could pick
a Doonzay. I think he's lovely. Yeah, Mike, who would you
take with Bears first round pick?I guess I would take Caleb Williams,
okay, and that we're gonna dothat, well, I mean that's we'll
(09:05):
be rocking. That's kind of thechalk. Yeah, But I don't see
anyway that they wouldn't take him.However, we're taking him. That's done.
However, I think there's a greaterthan zero chance you're gonna be very
disappointed with him. Uh oh.I'm also worried about that. I don't
know if he can run an offense. I don't know he hits his back
foot, gets it out to theright man. I don't know that he
had a single snap where he hithis back foot and just throw the ball.
(09:28):
And I don't like that he looksan adventure I don't like that he's
like, Hut, all right,the play's over. Time to do stuff,
all right? Well, if Igot the one one, I don't
want an adventure. I want someonewho runs the offense in a crisp,
efficient manner. And if there's noquarterback, I look for something else that
I need. We could we couldtrade him Dak yep. Could do that
(09:52):
and just try to localize it.Buzz repleats Dak for the one one.
I mean, I do that hurtbeat. Everybody would everybody but the Bears
would do that and a hurtbeat.Uh, and you might bust. But
hell, let's have some fun.Right. Here's the good news, though,
you don't have to worry about dakor the Cowboys because it appears we
are getting the Dallas Texans back,so we're gonna have Pat Mahomes and so
(10:18):
that'll be great. We can stopworrying about the Cowboys and we could just
cheer for our old team who leftbecause not enough people cared about him.
They're coming back. Maybe, seethat's why they're not coming back, because
that's not necessarily how I understand thingshappened, but that they left because no
one cheered about him. I thinkthey left because there was a sacred blood
oath that was consummated to the fiftyyard line of the Cotton Bowl Stadium between
(10:43):
Clint Murkison and Lamar Hunt. Onehundred percent. I mean, the Hunts
are still around here, dude,and Jerry here. Jerry has inherited Murkison's
promise. Whoever owns the franchise isbound by that blood. Oh right,
But Jerry's also a scumbag, sohe would gumback or not a blood oaths
and blood oaths Okay, yeah,blood oath is a blood. No.
(11:07):
So the Kansas City Chiefs, theythe taxpayers up there. Shout out to
them. I'd like to give aSammy Sosa thump thump, fingers to the
sky, Shout out to you guys. That is a city that told the
football team and baseball team like,nah, we're not going to just give
you more money to renovate stadiums,like, spend your own f and money.
(11:31):
It's a sound financial decision. Yeah. So they were trying to get
renovations at Arrowhead Stadium where the Chiefsplay, and a new stadium for the
Kansas City Royals, and they weregoing to pay for it over a forty
year sales tax thingy. And thepeople were like, nah, Mike,
are you with me that you wouldhave been distressed, especially about that Royals
(11:52):
bit about the Royals getting a newstadium abandoning Kaufman Stadium seems like a terrible
idea to me. I think it'sa gem. I've never been there,
so I really can't say with anydefinitive certainty, but I've not heard one
person ever have anything bad to sayabout it, even when it was all
AstroTurf. I've never been myself either, but the look of that narrowhead that
(12:15):
just very distinctive Swab seventies field.Yeah, it's kind of like I love
it. It's kind of like inKansas City, they set aside a whole
area just for those stadiums, justyou know, there's not a lot of
junk around it or anything like that, it seems, and I always kind
of liked that. I like thatthe stadiums have the same kind of like
(12:37):
design feel to them, and Ilike that design feel. I believe that
they did put a good amount ofmoney into renovating Kaufman. Yeah they did,
super long ago they did. Ilove the waterfalls out there. It's
not time for Kaufman to be redoneagain yet, not at all, and
they're talking about knocking it down andbuilding a new one. I'm glad the
voters made a good decision. Yeah, the voters told them to f off.
(12:58):
And Eric Johnson of Dallas is hethe guy who was like I used
to be a something, but nowI'm the other one? Uh huh?
Did he do that? Okay?Yeah? He And I'm disappointing the Dallas
Morning News too. But he jumpedon this the stadium renovation vote story,
and he shared it on his twitter'seat and he said welcome home Dallas,
(13:20):
Texans. And then the newspaper sayshe added a smiley face emotion. Really
yeah, he said welcome home DallasTexans. Hashtag Cotton Bowl. Haven't played
the Cotton Bowl. So would youleave Arrowhead? If you? If if
the reason you're leaving Kansas City,go to the Cotton Bowl. Yeah,
it's older than Arrowhead. No,you could not leave it. And God,
(13:41):
a related thing is they are puttinganother one hundred and forty million dollars
into the Cotton Bowl. This isgonna be one of the larger than I
would do the Cotton Bowl. Yeah, but it's still gonna be more.
It's gonna get it to about asgood as Arrowhead maybe can I it's not
a modern stage. I love it. Could never even approach Arrowhead. No,
the way they could ever approach itis to tear it down and build
(14:03):
a new one right on that side. Yeah, that is the only way.
That's not What if you're taking thebare bones of the con Bowl and
you're gonna renovate it and it wouldn'teven approach Jarrowhead. No, no,
can I ask a blasphem? CanI ask a dumb question about that stupid
idea in a fantasy world that's obviouslynot happening, that the Chiefs moved to
(14:24):
Dallas and you have two teams inDFW, which Jerry would never let happen.
He would have people behind the scenesliterally murder people. Oh yeah,
so if that happened, I thinkyou're not allegedly allowed to do this.
I would absolutely bail on the Cowboysand be like, let's go Chiefs if
(14:45):
you bring me Pat Mahomes team andI can stop cheering for Jerry's team.
And if they were playing in theCotton Bowl and it's actually Dallas, I
care about things like that. Yeah, it would be extremely close to my
house. I would jump. Iwould I mean, you know, I
would jump. I'm and I'm noteven I was raised right from a Bears
fan, for I die. Idon't jump based on what who's playing closest
(15:05):
to my house. But I certainlywould rank the Chiefs out of the Cowboys
in terms of mine. What ifthe owner of your team in Chicago had
extra children that he wasn't trying totake care of and well, it's just
being mean to people all the time. And then what if that lady had
all those things happening and she refusedto take the DNA test of is this
my child? That it works alittle different in that scenario, don't worry
(15:26):
about it. And then a newteam comes to town and your team is
annoying you and been annoying you forsome time, and now the new team
that comes to town has the bestplayer ever, Like it would be tempting
to just go, Okay, I'mgonna just I'm gonna watch this one.
I hear all what you're saying.But I was born a Bears fan.
Oh God, the same way Iwas born. And then you know,
like, I'm not gonna stop havingblonde hair. You know, I don't
(15:50):
think you're I wouldn't call that.I wouldn't call that blonde. Yeah,
I'm sure what i'd call it,but blond ain't it. I wouldn't call
that blonde. I don't think,Well, you be wrong. It is.
You know, like I'm a Bearsfan. It's part of my personal
identity. I you know, I'mwith them no matter what they do.
It's not if there was a thingthey could do to chase me away.
(16:11):
They've done it twenty times. Iwish I liked the Colvil owners straight up
in a heartbeat. Yeah, justbecause you'd have more fun stuff to talk
about that and like, you know, say what you will about Jerry,
like he cares about whether or notthe team is good. Like he doesn't
care enough, and you care anymoreabout the valuation the ninety eight year old
(16:33):
checked out, you know, likethat that's the owner. I want,
no, you don't. They gotno, they have no because I want
that owner to care enough to hirethe right people. And they don't care.
They don't. They don't. Theygot to care enough to hire the
right people and then not care.There's no struck calls up. There doesn't.
And the woman Virginia, yeah McCaskey, she doesn't make the calls.
(16:56):
But like that, that's part ofthe problem, you know, Like this
manager operated structure. You know,people will tell you it's not advantageous.
You want the person who owns itto the person director, the person making
the decisions needs to have skin inthe game. That's gonna make them.
Like it's a bit what Jeff wastalking about about the first generation owners versus
second generation owners. She is asecond generation owner. She's George Hollis's daughter,
(17:21):
so she don't care. Yeah,and she's ninety eight. She really
doesn't care. I think Ted Phillipsis the person who is showing up to
the office every day. That isnot the name of a guy who's going
to build you a winner. TedPhillips. Nothing against Ted personally, but
with all due respect, he's failedto build a winner for quite a while.
Now. Everyone named Ted Phillips listening. I bet you're good at something,
(17:44):
but you're not building football. TeacherMayor Eric Johnson. Oh, now
it says Ted's the former CEO,So I guess I'm wrong. You don't
even know your own team. Dallaswas named yet because it's it's Kevin Warren,
the Big ten guy who Kevin Warren, Right, Kevin, I don't
know Kevin Warren. Well, ourmayor said, Dallas was named the top
(18:07):
sports city in the United States becausewe played a win. As I've said
previously, our market's big enough,growing enough, and loves football more than
enough to support a second NFL team, especially a franchise and an owner with
deep roots here. Now, Jerryhad been asked about this before, and
he's his quote then this is intwenty twenty two. He said, you
(18:30):
can you can be rest assured,so you could be assured. You could
rest assured, but you should beassured. You can rest assured or you
can do it all. But Jerrywent with, you can be rest assured.
Nice that you would not have theNFL supporting another team because of the
(18:51):
kind of value that the game andthe NFL receives of having the Dallas Cowboys
of one of its marquee teams.And again, logic tells you the NFL
wouldn't want to water that down.So yeah, it's not actually gonna happen,
but it would be awesome and Icould fun to talk about. I
could cheer for Paddy and it wouldbe great. Quick buzzer please spokes doesn't
(19:15):
of course, the Dallas Texans tattoothat I have on my heart would be
valid. Again. Oh yeah,it's a good tattoo too. I think
you had to do some waxing beforeyou had that tattoo put on to your
heart, but it looks good.No, I was twelve at the time,
so yeah, it's smoking a sig. Getting your Texans tatt Yep,
the lawyer representing Kansas City Chiefs andfuture Dallas Texan wide receiver Rashi Rice,
(19:41):
said Thursday that the NFL player toldpolice he was driving one of the cars
and Saturday's multi vehicle hit and runcollision. At a sixteen minute news conference
where she Rice's attorney, State SenatorRoyce West said he expects charges to be
filed by Dallas police soon against Rashid. He said Rice was driving the Lamborghini
(20:04):
in the collision, which injured atleast four people left multiple vehicles damaged.
Hopefully, they called Franklin. FranklinWes said Rice had reached out to some
of the victims and will do everythingin his power to bring a sense of
normalcy back to their lives. Hesaid that he understands that people could have
been seriously injured, which is whyhe came forward. Uh huh. Yeah,
(20:25):
it's also why we really came forwardand stepped up at the time.
Huh yep, yep. But fivesix days later he was like, you
know what, someone could have beenhurt. I need to tell the world
that already knew that it was me, that it was me, because they
could have been hurt more whatever hesaid to the people whose cars got impacted.
(20:47):
If he had just said that atthe time instead of, as reported,
grabbed the guns and bounced out grabbedthe guns, I think it would
have been it would have been workingon Huh. Was there a little gun
grabbing allegedly, according to one personat least that's right, grab some stuff
out of their gun stuff. Yeah. The lady whose car they spun out,
(21:10):
the gray one the fun day accent. She said one of the other
bystanders that the crash scene saw themgrabbing weapons out of their vehicle before they
departed. Oh, so that's likea third hand report. I want to
be clear about that. However,if you're wondering why he would have such
a strong desire to get out ofthere quickly, it does explain a few
(21:30):
things. Yeah, I saw Isaw some of the stills. It looked
like he was carrying in an RPGrocket propelled grenade strapped across his back.
And I don't think that's necessarily true. He wasn't trying to fight the predator
coming up that is on behind us, which is bs that you guys get
to see the predator, and Idon't pretty cool coming up Next, it's
time for Jeff's bucket, oh crap, and some of the biggest news in
(21:53):
recent local history. I gotta hityou with somebody here will probably be dismissive. Next
