Speaker 1 (00:00):
Absolutely completely and totally humiliated last night by the New
York Yankees. The Evil Empire, well, formerly the Evil Empire,
the Evil Empire now probably resides in LA with the
Dodgers and then the Mets, but nonetheless, yes, it was.
(00:21):
It was close for a little bit, for a little bit,
and then Trent Grisham and Vulpi happened, and it was
just like, cancel Christmas. Cancel Christmas for the Mariners, and
it looks really bad after that, Man, it was Yankees
(00:44):
last night, six run fifth inning, Grisham home run, gold
Schmidt RBI single, Bellinger RBI single, and then Well's three
run home run, and it was just that was it
and you could just see it. And you know what
(01:06):
I think last night. Hopefully we'll end up being a
good thing for the Mariners. But right now, there's a
couple things. Number One, the Mariner's pitching. It is not
you're not turning that clock back to last year. It's
just different. It looks. You can see it. They're struggling.
They're not the team that they were a year ago.
That's starting pitching, and Emerson Hancock was actually doing pretty
(01:29):
good for a little bit, and then and then that
fifth inning happened, and I don't know what it is.
What Mariner's starting pitching and getting past that fifth inning,
they just can't do.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Ms were up two to one.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And then it all came crashing down and then cal
Rowley comes out. It's a two run home run in
the bottom of the eighth to cut the lead to
eight to five, and then you're thinking, all right, things
(02:06):
are going really good, and then all of a sudden,
everything just completely crashed hard, really hard. So it was
something that it was something that we It looks different,
(02:33):
doesn't it. It just really looks different when you see
the Yankees upfront and up close. All right, wow, Okay,
just at the KJR Twitter handle.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Breaking news here. The estate of Paul G.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Allen today announced it has commenced a formal sales process
for the Portland Trailblazers NBA franchise. Consistent with Allen's directive
to eventually sell his sports holdings and direct all real
estate proceeds to philanthropy. The estate has selected investment bank
Allen and Company and law firm Hogan Lavelle's to lead
(03:17):
the sales process, which is estimated to continue into the
twenty twenty five twenty twenty six basketball season. The NBA
Board of Governors must then ratify a final purchase agreement.
This news does not affect the Seattle Seahawks NFL franchise
or the estate's twenty five percent interest in the Seattle
(03:40):
Sounders MLS, and neither is for sale. Okay, so now
I will Okay, Now you know, I'm thankful the Seahawks
and Sounders aren't for sale. Now I'm wondering well the
Portland Trailblazers remain in Portland knows. I mean, we've seen
(04:02):
this movie before, haven't we? And what happened here about
seventeen years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Don't know?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't know, I don't I mean, I know we've been
devoid of the NBA here for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I mean, taking it from Portland.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Everybody here, we you know, we Portland has the Seattle Complex.
It's kind of like Philly does with New York City,
and but Philly's a lot bigger, and you know, has
every professional sports team and a much bigger city with
all four pro sports teams than Portland. But that's big news,
(04:39):
big news. The Portland Trailblazers are officially for sale. So
if you got money. You want to get some of
some of your fellow investors together. There you go. It
is announced a formal sales process. Now one of the
things this better not do.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Got my I've got my hands on the side of
my temples right now. Please tell me this will not
delay the Sonics coming back to Seattle because we had
to wait for the freaking Celtics to be sold. Prior
to that, had to wait for the Timberwolves to be sold.
Now I heard we're waiting for Las Vegas to get
(05:24):
their ownership group intact, so they're gonna build a new arena.
They don't want to play in the same arena as
the Golden Knights at Demo Breena in Vegas. I just
hope we don't have to wait even longer because of
the Portland Trail Blazers.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Please no, please, no, So here it is big news.
The Blazers are for sale. How about that? Interesting?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
All right, didn't expect that one on I bing no
card before today. I knew when Purple Sheet walked into
you control room, I'm like, didn't say anything bad yet.
Let me see, do you get in trouble playing Frank Sinatra,
New New York no, no, no, no, no, I haven't
really been.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I've been kind of a good boy today. I've been
good so far. I've got two hours and you know
what about forty seven minutes to go, forty eight eight
minutes to go. But yeah, I haven't. I'ven't say anything
that I'm like, oh wow, some must be big. So
there it is.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So again, twelve versus are trail Blazers are for sale.
And this news does not affect the Seattle Seahawks NFL
franchise or the Seattle's twenty or the Estates twenty five
percent interest in the Seattle Sounders MLS, and neither is
for sale. So that's very important regarding Seattle. I hope
(06:45):
it doesn't have anything to do on us getting the
Sonics back.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But who freaking knows? Do you really trust the NBA?
Do you?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And we'll get to that in the next set. I
gotta stay on point here. After that debacle and after
that complete sham that we saw yesterday before the Nick
Celtics game, you really trust the NBA after that sham
of a lottery?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But Mariners couldn't do anything last night against Clark Schmidt.
They had a couple of solo home runs by Polanco
and Julio So the Mariners are mired in a season
worst four straight losses and you're starting to see that
(07:36):
this team, what we thought and we knew was arguably
the best rotation in baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Guess what, They now have a four point five four
ERA and their MLB's fifth worst. Last year, it was
MLB's best at three point three eight. Hancock was good
for about five innings, for about four and a third innings,
and then he got to the fifth and that has
(08:07):
been the waterloo. The Achilles Heel of this franchise.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Chris Russo, mad Dog, who most of you probably know
from seeing him on First Take with Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He's a gentleman who was one of the pioneers of
sports talk radio, along with Mike Francessa.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
On the really show that put sports talk radio on
the map. And I'm not just saying this, they did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Wfan was the first ever sports talk station twenty four
hours that launched in July of nineteen eighty seven. They
came along two years later and they were the first
big show that got critical acclaim and really showed that
sports talk radio can exist in markets like Seattle, Atlanta, Boston.
(09:03):
But it started at wfan. Chris Russo from First Take
Mad Dog Radio will join us coming up at the
top of the hour. We'll get to him on the
Mariners and what's going on with this staff. After the game,
Everson Hancock said, I'll wear this one and didn't really
give us a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But baseball is what it is. You move on, you
keep working. End quote. I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I like the first sentence, I'll wear this one and
didn't really give us a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
End quote. Accountability. I like that. I like it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'm still you know, I don't know what's going on
with this staff. Obviously we know George Kirby, who is
apparently gonna be making his third and five hopefully final
rehab start for Triple A Tacoma on Friday down in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. So then we would hope we like to
(10:00):
see him come back. Logan Gilbert with the right elbow
flexer strain. He's gonna throw a bullpen session his first
and suffering the injury coming up today. And by the way,
did you see what a true star looks like last
night in Aaron Judge. That's what it looks like, folks,
(10:21):
It's not some fugazy there's no Fucci here, the fake Gucci.
There's no Fui Vatan, fake Louis Vatan. No, that's the
real deal. That's what a star looks like. That's what
a superstar looks like. That's what a true that's what
a future Hall of Famer looks like. Aaron freaking Judge.
(10:47):
And he didn't even really do much last night, didn't
have to. His entire team did it for him. He
went two for three RBI, but double you know, but nothing,
you know, didn't go all out. He's team just And
I have to say this man, prayer is up for
Oswaldo Cabrera. Ooh, that was a gruesome, gruesome slot. I've
(11:11):
never seen an ambulance come on the field at a
Major League baseball game like that. I've never seen that
happen ever. And when that happened, I said, uh oh.
I talked to someone back in the Northeast today. He
said it could be career ending. So that was that
was gruesome. Do you know last night on Root Sports?
Thankfully I have where you can rewind it on your TV.
(11:32):
I don't have a DVR, but I have up to
a certain point, as long as you don't change the
channel Aaron Goldsmith, because I was kind of like on
the phone and I sort of I saw it, but
I didn't see it the way I needed to see it.
And Aaron Goldsmith, I just heard him say, we're not
We're not allowed to replay it. So what did I do?
I reround it and I watched it and I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
God, oh no, that was brutal.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That was brutal.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I mean, I just hope this guy can walk again.
Forget about baseball. Prayers up for Oswaldough Cabrera. You don't
usually see that in baseball.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That was brutal. I mean, his entire knee just buckled.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It wasn't as bad as Kevin Ware from Louisville in
the twenty thirteen NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But it was pretty close and it just looked bad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And when the ambulance comes on the field like that,
I said, oh man, this is not good. You never
really see the ambulance come on a major league baseball field.
And when they came, I'm like, oh, he's going straight
to the hospital. There's you know, this is really bad.
So it was just a tough night. For the Mariners
as a whole. But that's what a star looks like.
(12:46):
Aaron Judge, you're seeing it right now. Watch him. I'm
gonna be there tonight, gonna be checking that out. I
wanna see ninety nine. I've seen him before, but I
want to see him again, and I want to see
if the Mariners and turn this losing streak around, because
it is absolutely right now. Y'all were right. You said
(13:10):
last week, Mark, don't it's not to her. You don't
have to eat your crow, bro. Yet you were right.
You know what, the audience is usually right. They were,
and I was really proud of yesterday and it shows
when we were doing what do you say? Text of
the Day and I was talking about I couldn't think
of Hugh Grant's name.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I couldn't think of it. Who was the guy that
was married to Elizabeth Hurley back in the nineties. He
ended up paying for a prostitute and he got busted
in La Hugh what what was his name? And then
the text line just flooded in. You grant you, grant you,
grant you, grant you, grant you grant, thank you, thank
you for listening. I appreciate it. But you were Right's
(13:52):
guess I'm not eating that crow on the Mariners just yet. Wow. Wow,
we all thought that the pitching was going to be
Imagine getting after September and the Seahawks having the second
worst defense in the NFL when you thought going into
the season it was a top five defense. Imagine that
(14:16):
it was bad. It was really really bad.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And I don't know, but this team not feeling him
right now, not feeling him at all. So Chris Russo
coming up at the top of next hour. Brendan Haywood,
one of the only people in the world that can
say he was a teammate in the NBA of Michael
Jordan and Lebron James. He will join us at the
(14:40):
top of the noon hour. Coming up next. Why don't
we just call it the WWE. Just just stop the
sham and call it what it is. It's fixed, it's rigged.
Just call it the WWE. Next on MJ and the
Midday Radio ninety three to three kJ R. At them,
(15:04):
I think this is so fricking fixed, it's it's not
even funny anymore. The Calves won the lottery right after
Lebron left to get Kyrie Irving. The Pelicans won the
lottery right after the CP three trade, okay, which screwed
(15:25):
the Charlotte Bobcats, who had the worst winning percentage in
NBA history. Then the Pelicans again won the lottery right
after the Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers so they
could get Zion Williamson number one. We had a text
ring yesterday who said how the Pistons got screwed out
(15:49):
of the number one pick two years ago to get
Victor Wembayama because the NBA wanted San Antonio, which has
been down so long, to get the number one pick.
So they fixed that too, and they did it again
yesterday the Dallas Mavericks get the number one pick after
(16:10):
trading Luca to the Lakers. Because it's been an absolute
bleep show in Dallas for Nico Harrison and that franchise
bleep show. Can't we just to call it and admit
what it is. And here's the thing where I knew
this process was completely totally BS totally when they would say, well,
(16:35):
we have the executives from ernstin Youngen.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Oh really, Oh well, I feel so much better now
because it's not like there's crooks on Wall Street. Oh oh,
those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Probably most of them who had worked at Goldman in
sacks when that whole thing went down right now, about
a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's just a sham. It's a sham. So there it is.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
The Dallas Mavericks get the number one pick after trading
away a top five NBA player who was twenty five
years old to the Lakers, and they get, oh, you
might ask, well, Mark, what was the percentage one point
eight percent chance they had to get the number one pick?
One point eight percent chance. Same thing in two thousand
and eight when the Bulls were down for a long
(17:29):
time post Jordan, they gave him the number one pick
to get Derrick Rose. It happened so many times, so
many freaking times. At this point, it's just Kyrie and
twenty eleven to Cleveland, Anthony Davison, twenty twelve to New Orleans,
Cleveland getting back to back year number one picks. Cleveland
had the number one pick three out of four years.
(17:50):
Twenty eleven, twenty thirteen, and twenty fourteen. They took Anthony
Bennett out of UNLV was one of the biggest boss,
if not the biggest bus in NBA draft history, with
the first overall pick and in twenty fourteen they got
Andrew Wiggins, who was great. But then Lebron comes in
after the season and Lebron, you know, he's like, I
want to get Kevin Love instead. We want to win
a title next year, So they traded Andrew Wiggins to
(18:13):
Minnesota for Kevin Love. It's it's on and on and
on like the Erica Badu song, on and on and
on and on. That's what it is. An Erica Badu
reference today. Didn't they have that on your Bengo card?
Did you now look her up? She was great, great
(18:35):
R and B singer. But what a joke. This is
so and you know it's a joke when they won't show.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
The process the ping pong, they won't show it. They
don't show it. They just show the envelopes. Why don't
we do the ping pong balls like they would do
for the state lottery? All right, tonight you're winning numbers
are sick four eight, three one, And they show the
(19:05):
ping pong balls getting sucked up like they used to
do it those.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Drive through at the bank when you would put your
money or check in the thing and then you put
the thing in there and you hit the send button.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, you remember those.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, those are the good old days, right, those have
been systematically eliminated.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Why don't they show the process on TV? What a joke?
What an absolute joke. I don't get it. I just
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And last night the internet it was literally breaking the internet.
It was going crazy. Yeah, they had to do a
solid for Dallas. They lost Luca on their own accord.
By the way, they Nico Harrison woke up one day
in fi be worried last year, said, you know what
(20:01):
I think I'm gonna do. I'm gonna trade a top
five NBA player who took us to the NBA Finals
last year, and I'm gonna trade them for a broken
down bag of bones glass dall named Anthony Davis, who's
in the twilight of his career, on the back four
or five holes of his career, probably about hole fifteen
(20:24):
right now, maybe sixteen. Just a joke, so you can't
get it. Listen, this has been fixed, going back to
the Knicks in nineteen eighty five where they had the
frozen envelope and they knew don't pick the frozen envelope.
(20:45):
And it's I mean, now there's talk that the NFL
could look into doing a lottery. Just if you do it,
just have it be above board and have it be
legitimate so the people can see it happening. I want
to see ping pong balls of the team, Oh, this
(21:08):
team at fourteen, the Sacramento Kings get the fourteen pick. Oh,
with the thirteen pick to Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I want to see it as if it's a true lottery,
that's all I want to see. Make it be legitimate.
Such a joke, an absolute joke, and it was a
total sham and Utah, I'm sorry. I thought you had
your great white hope comingto Salt Lake City and Cooper Flag.
(21:37):
Unfortunately that didn't happen because the NBA screwed you over,
just like they've screwed so many teams over in the past.
And I'm glad the Texter brought that up on the
Tech the four nine, four or five one text line yesterday.
How they did it to the Pistons two years ago.
They should have gotten Victor Wembayama instead. You know, they
(21:59):
still got a great team, much better than San Antonio.
But imagine Victor Wemby there with Kate Cunningham Jaden Ivy
in that whole squad. Who wow, man, that'd be you
know what I heard about Victor Wembayama just one thing.
I already needs to sleep eleven twelve hours a night
because his body is so disproportionate. He needs eleven to
(22:23):
twelve hours of sleep a night to get through a day.
He had to sleep half the day because he's so
you know, seven to six. He's just he's awkward. I mean,
he's just a freak and he needs to sleep. I'm like, real,
I go, you know what, that makes sense? That makes sense?
(22:46):
Anything surprised you last night, Christopher Kidd on that lottery.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't know where to spand on this because you
were so confident yesterday about Utah getting it. You thought
it was going to be rigged. But no, but I
but here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It wouldn't have been ranked they had the highest chance
of getting it, but they want they had, but they
had to take care of a bigger market, and Dallas
is a bigger market than.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
You know what we're gonna be doing when their first
round exit next season.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, it won't even matter.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I like that, No, think about it, Like, are we
really like it's unfair for a team like Utah that
could use someone like Cooper Flag to get to the
next level. No any so it would be like, could
you and as you mentioned, it's fitting Cooper Flag couldn't
fit anywhere else. It's Utah. It's perfect for him. Yeah,
but I tell you man, But now he's going to
go to a team that it's not gonna be Cooper
(23:37):
Flag to the Jazz.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We know that much.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No, but they they had to keep that market relevant
because they just went to the finals and they don't
know how much longer Anthony Davis has.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You don't want a way, so okay, you.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Trim their best, but it still probably won't matter.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It might not, but though, but it might not.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
But that was to make good the NBA said, Okay, Dallas,
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanza in May.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
There you go, Dallas, Mary New Year. Oh there it is.
I mean, and now people can stop talking about Oh
Nico and what here's another thing that got Nico off
the hook, Lakers losing in five, getting there, getting there there.
He doesn't look like a madman, does he. He's the
(24:22):
Lakers losing in five right now. And now you couple
that in the first round I might add, now you
bring in Cooper flag from Duke, It's it's interesting, it's
very so flag will I mean Anthony Davis is not
the four, and Anthony Davis wants to play the four.
He's not the four.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
He's got a problem there. I got a problem there.
And now you're looking at what's his face? Wants more
money like a center what's his name?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The center?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Like, oh my Gafford Lively, thank you Gafford with Tarkansas.
He deserves it. You want to get your money, get
your money. But they're gonna have. It's gonna be and
they all do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, it's yeah, they all like listen.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
All Bucket get Hiss and Kyrie as well. But he's
gonna miss a lot of time, obviously.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think one of the things this is a funny
text from the two five three. He needs eleven to
twelve hours of sleep because he is French and they
are a week.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Are you watching the Netflix US versus the Olympic Games? No,
check it out because they have the little beef between
the French and the Americans.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I haven't seen that yet. It's really good.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No, I saw I saw shooting guards about Gilbert Arenas
and Javaris Critton.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know what's cool? Though, I got no it sucks.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Arenas used to be a bully, but I gotta give
Gilbert Reena's credit. They're tight and he takes all the blame.
He's like, I'm the reason that his life wins sideways
and I want to I'm here for him, and I'm
like there was a happy ending there, Yes, there was
a happy ending. And I'm like, good for you, Gilbert Arenas,
and good for you to you know, it's like you can't.
I mean, dude, I didn't know he brought gun to
(26:00):
the locker room.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Gilbert Arenas did, like he really was, like, go for it, dude,
he brought guns to the locker room. So everyone wanted
to make Javar's Critinton out to be the bad guy.
I'm not saying he was a good guy, but then yeah,
I mean I just feel bad. I mean Javar's Crittinton was.
You know, you don't mess with dudes from South Atlanta.
You just don't mess with guys from there. You really don't.
(26:30):
Uh So, all right, coming up next?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Oh oh boy, it's April and an NFL team is
already broken.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Who is it. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right here on MJ in the midday Chris Russo, the
mad Dog coming up at the top of the hour.
Don't go anywhere right here on ninety three to three
KJR FM.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
All right, hit in all fields. Right here on MJ
and the midday mad Dog Chris Russo coming up in
about thirteen minutes in the top of the hour. One
of the pioneers in sports talk radio. You see him
on first take. Seems like he's on there every day
with his good buddy Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I think it was a New York Times best selling author.
If it wasn't for him, me Ian, Chuck Softy, none
of us would be here. He was one of the
guys on that Mount Rushmore of sports talk radio and
just can't wait to have him. So all right, Christopher kid,
(27:40):
this is something that I didn't look at it yet.
It's from WFAN, but it says it's April and the
Giants have already broken.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What is up on? From boomer in g O on
w fa N.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Good morning, guys, GEO got I got a bonupit we
get this morning?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
You?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Is everything is everything okay? This morning?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Because you've done nothing but ripped the Giants since six
o'clock this morning, the old miss games?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Have you actually watched all year?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Okay, I've sat there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I sat there and watched.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
If the Giants like a quarterback, you go out and
get them geo.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, hey, listen to me. Hold on for myself.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
You're a bold I see you, or for God's sake,
Park And by the way, I said this for dummies
like you earlier that I hated the Vikings picking JJ McCarthy.
I said he stinks and I hated it, So it
has nothing to do with it being a Vikings fan
or not. And how do you old miss games of
John Gruden watch of Jackson Dark And.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I'll tell you right now you did? How many times
have you watched them play?
Speaker 5 (28:41):
If you watch them play?
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Hold up, seriously, you're a Giants fans. You're gonna suck
off every one of their picks. She's from all this
likeli you probably want know sickos who sat there and
defended Daniel Jones for sex a year.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Get out for it.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
He's a pudgy you clamber.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But cow many games all this?
Speaker 7 (29:15):
I don't need to watch any games all this? How
many games?
Speaker 6 (29:18):
And p y.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
You gotta watch Zack Wilson play zero, and I knew
he was gonna suck.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
And he did.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
NFL trap passion.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Do you what?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Stop it?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
God?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
This is his staff.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Count, who's a system quarterback in Lane Kiffin's offense. Go
go look up Matt Corral. How did that work out?
I just crumpled up a.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Corrals in the UFL.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I'll lose my voice again.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Nicks meet the Pistons won eighteen one.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Upsets. I watch zero and I knew he's gotta suck. Yeah, yeah,
Well this is a snap count. Just starting to know
these takes.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
By the way, I gotta tell you, I kind of
like the way I like Geo's retort to Geo's very good.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
He's very good.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
He's taking the place of Craig Carton, who used to
be in that spot. Craig Carton, of course, as you know,
used to be with Boomer Sizin. Uh, Boo, Boomer and
Carton for over a decade. Craig Carton got arrested for
running some federal felonious concert ticket scam. Or you could
buy tickets to Metallica or jay Z, but you didn't
(30:53):
get the tickets, and that's why he went to prison
for like, well two and a half three years. He
was off the air for three years. Comes back to WFAN.
He's number one. He's one of only two people in
the history of New York City to be number one
in morning or afternoon. Who was the other guy, Howard Stern.
So speaking of Boomer Sison, good segue? Uh oh, Dave Simms.
(31:15):
Dave Simms, you're not in Kansas anymore. You're not in
Seattle anymore. You just kind of when.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You miss games, especially for the New York Yankees, guess
what you're going to get called out on the air.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
To Seattle tonight. Take on the marin as. I imagine
Dave Simms will be back. He used to work in Seattle.
He didn't do these games this weekend, but I would
think it would with Susan.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
He was visiting with family in Seattle. That's what somebody
told me on x SO they must to talk about
a broadcast so.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
That I get out there a couple of days early.
Maybe my did Mother's Day weekend. Maybe he wanted to
see family.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He's from New York.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
Oh, he's got some family out there. But he was
in Seattle for what fifteen years? Right, So maybe their
kids live out there and they want.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
To know to do the Yankees.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I mean SI didn't miss any games, did he?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
He did not miss many games?
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Well, if he did because he was sick or something,
or because you know, he was in his eighties and
he didn't want to travel to second games because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I you know, I do want.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Two thousand straight games something like that.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
He wants you just pick a week off.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That wasn't a week it was a weekend weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
I love Dave Simms, but you know, unless there's something
major going on that I don't know about, then I'll
I'll gladly retract the criticism.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Otherwise, get your ask in the book. What are you doing?
You just took the Yankee job. It's supposed to be
the job of your life.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Now do you think that Dave Simms when he walks
in and see his family, goes, hey, nah, like his
nieces and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's here.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
There's no reports that that there's anything a miss or anything. Right,
I don't know. I don't think so I wasn't feeling well,
or he got or something. You're telling me he went
the Seattle to visit family and friends.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm not telling you.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I have no idea where he went. Oh what are
you thinks going on here?
Speaker 6 (33:08):
That that sounds like a good reasoning right there, with
the visiting uh Seattle a couple of days early sounds reasonable.
I mean, it sounds like something that could sounds reasonable
to you, not for me personally, but I'm saying it's
that sounds plause to that that happens.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Scott d McKay reaches out to me and says, Dave
Simms is in Seattle this weekend visiting family before calling
the Mariners series. So he I trust this guy looks
like a normal guy. Seems like he was listening to.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The who the hell? So?
Speaker 8 (33:37):
So the Yankees are in Sacramento and he's this guy
is telling me that or telling you that, said Dave
is visiting family in Seattle before he got to Seattle
a little bit early Mother's Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I love Dave, I told you, But you know, what
are we doing? The Mets beat the Cubs six to two.
Speaker 11 (33:57):
All those players have moms. What are you looking at? Yeah?
And Boomer's really triggered on this. Wow, Boomer Sison did
not like that. Hey, Dave Simms, there's no Seattle Sally's
in New York City. Man, it's you are in.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You are in an ocean full of great white sharks
up there. And when you miss a series and you
don't have an excuse absence, you're gonna get called out
on one of the biggest morning shows in the world.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That's how it works, not. You know, they don't throw
softballs up there. It's not how it works up there.
So I like Dave Simms though he's a good guy.
So but uh man, boy Boomer did not plenty punches.
You know else doesn't plenty punches.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
The mad dog Chris Russo, We will talk to him
next right here on MJ in the midday ninety three
to three KJR FM, don't go anywhere
Absolutely completely and totally humiliated last night by the New
York Yankees. The Evil Empire, well, formerly the Evil Empire,
the Evil Empire now probably resides in LA with the
Dodgers and then the Mets, but nonetheless, yes, it was.
(00:21):
It was close for a little bit, for a little bit,
and then Trent Grisham and Vulpi happened, and it was
just like, cancel Christmas. Cancel Christmas for the Mariners, and
it looks really bad after that, Man, it was Yankees
(00:44):
last night, six run fifth inning, Grisham home run, gold
Schmidt RBI single, Bellinger RBI single, and then Well's three
run home run, and it was just that was it
and you could just see it. And you know what
(01:06):
I think last night. Hopefully we'll end up being a
good thing for the Mariners. But right now, there's a
couple things. Number One, the Mariner's pitching. It is not
you're not turning that clock back to last year. It's
just different. It looks. You can see it. They're struggling.
They're not the team that they were a year ago.
That's starting pitching, and Emerson Hancock was actually doing pretty
(01:29):
good for a little bit, and then and then that
fifth inning happened, and I don't know what it is.
What Mariner's starting pitching and getting past that fifth inning,
they just can't do.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Ms were up two to one.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And then it all came crashing down and then cal
Rowley comes out. It's a two run home run in
the bottom of the eighth to cut the lead to
eight to five, and then you're thinking, all right, things
(02:06):
are going really good, and then all of a sudden,
everything just completely crashed hard, really hard. So it was
something that it was something that we It looks different,
(02:33):
doesn't it. It just really looks different when you see
the Yankees upfront and up close. All right, wow, Okay,
just at the KJR Twitter handle.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Breaking news here. The estate of Paul G.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Allen today announced it has commenced a formal sales process
for the Portland Trailblazers NBA franchise. Consistent with Allen's directive
to eventually sell his sports holdings and direct all real
estate proceeds to philanthropy. The estate has selected investment bank
Allen and Company and law firm Hogan Lavelle's to lead
(03:17):
the sales process, which is estimated to continue into the
twenty twenty five twenty twenty six basketball season. The NBA
Board of Governors must then ratify a final purchase agreement.
This news does not affect the Seattle Seahawks NFL franchise
or the estate's twenty five percent interest in the Seattle
(03:40):
Sounders MLS, and neither is for sale. Okay, so now
I will Okay, Now you know, I'm thankful the Seahawks
and Sounders aren't for sale. Now I'm wondering well the
Portland Trailblazers remain in Portland knows. I mean, we've seen
(04:02):
this movie before, haven't we? And what happened here about
seventeen years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Don't know?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't know, I don't I mean, I know we've been
devoid of the NBA here for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I mean, taking it from Portland.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Everybody here, we you know, we Portland has the Seattle Complex.
It's kind of like Philly does with New York City,
and but Philly's a lot bigger, and you know, has
every professional sports team and a much bigger city with
all four pro sports teams than Portland. But that's big news,
(04:39):
big news. The Portland Trailblazers are officially for sale. So
if you got money. You want to get some of
some of your fellow investors together. There you go. It
is announced a formal sales process. Now one of the
things this better not do.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Got my I've got my hands on the side of
my temples right now. Please tell me this will not
delay the Sonics coming back to Seattle because we had
to wait for the freaking Celtics to be sold. Prior
to that, had to wait for the Timberwolves to be sold.
Now I heard we're waiting for Las Vegas to get
(05:24):
their ownership group intact, so they're gonna build a new arena.
They don't want to play in the same arena as
the Golden Knights at Demo Breena in Vegas. I just
hope we don't have to wait even longer because of
the Portland Trail Blazers.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Please no, please, no, So here it is big news.
The Blazers are for sale. How about that? Interesting?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
All right, didn't expect that one on I bing no
card before today. I knew when Purple Sheet walked into
you control room, I'm like, didn't say anything bad yet.
Let me see, do you get in trouble playing Frank Sinatra,
New New York no, no, no, no, no, I haven't
really been.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I've been kind of a good boy today. I've been
good so far. I've got two hours and you know
what about forty seven minutes to go, forty eight eight
minutes to go. But yeah, I haven't. I'ven't say anything
that I'm like, oh wow, some must be big. So
there it is.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So again, twelve versus are trail Blazers are for sale.
And this news does not affect the Seattle Seahawks NFL
franchise or the Seattle's twenty or the Estates twenty five
percent interest in the Seattle Sounders MLS, and neither is
for sale. So that's very important regarding Seattle. I hope
(06:45):
it doesn't have anything to do on us getting the
Sonics back.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But who freaking knows? Do you really trust the NBA?
Do you?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And we'll get to that in the next set. I
gotta stay on point here. After that debacle and after
that complete sham that we saw yesterday before the Nick
Celtics game, you really trust the NBA after that sham
of a lottery?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
But Mariners couldn't do anything last night against Clark Schmidt.
They had a couple of solo home runs by Polanco
and Julio So the Mariners are mired in a season
worst four straight losses and you're starting to see that
(07:36):
this team, what we thought and we knew was arguably
the best rotation in baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Guess what, They now have a four point five four
ERA and their MLB's fifth worst. Last year, it was
MLB's best at three point three eight. Hancock was good
for about five innings, for about four and a third innings,
and then he got to the fifth and that has
(08:07):
been the waterloo. The Achilles Heel of this franchise.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Chris Russo, mad Dog, who most of you probably know
from seeing him on First Take with Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He's a gentleman who was one of the pioneers of
sports talk radio, along with Mike Francessa.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
On the really show that put sports talk radio on
the map. And I'm not just saying this, they did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Wfan was the first ever sports talk station twenty four
hours that launched in July of nineteen eighty seven. They
came along two years later and they were the first
big show that got critical acclaim and really showed that
sports talk radio can exist in markets like Seattle, Atlanta, Boston.
(09:03):
But it started at wfan. Chris Russo from First Take
Mad Dog Radio will join us coming up at the
top of the hour. We'll get to him on the
Mariners and what's going on with this staff. After the game,
Everson Hancock said, I'll wear this one and didn't really
give us a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But baseball is what it is. You move on, you
keep working. End quote. I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I like the first sentence, I'll wear this one and
didn't really give us a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
End quote. Accountability. I like that. I like it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'm still you know, I don't know what's going on
with this staff. Obviously we know George Kirby, who is
apparently gonna be making his third and five hopefully final
rehab start for Triple A Tacoma on Friday down in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. So then we would hope we like to
(10:00):
see him come back. Logan Gilbert with the right elbow
flexer strain. He's gonna throw a bullpen session his first
and suffering the injury coming up today. And by the way,
did you see what a true star looks like last
night in Aaron Judge. That's what it looks like, folks,
(10:21):
It's not some fugazy there's no Fucci here, the fake Gucci.
There's no Fui Vatan, fake Louis Vatan. No, that's the
real deal. That's what a star looks like. That's what
a superstar looks like. That's what a true that's what
a future Hall of Famer looks like. Aaron freaking Judge.
(10:47):
And he didn't even really do much last night, didn't
have to. His entire team did it for him. He
went two for three RBI, but double you know, but nothing,
you know, didn't go all out. He's team just And
I have to say this man, prayer is up for
Oswaldo Cabrera. Ooh, that was a gruesome, gruesome slot. I've
(11:11):
never seen an ambulance come on the field at a
Major League baseball game like that. I've never seen that
happen ever. And when that happened, I said, uh oh.
I talked to someone back in the Northeast today. He
said it could be career ending. So that was that
was gruesome. Do you know last night on Root Sports?
Thankfully I have where you can rewind it on your TV.
(11:32):
I don't have a DVR, but I have up to
a certain point, as long as you don't change the
channel Aaron Goldsmith, because I was kind of like on
the phone and I sort of I saw it, but
I didn't see it the way I needed to see it.
And Aaron Goldsmith, I just heard him say, we're not
We're not allowed to replay it. So what did I do?
I reround it and I watched it and I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
God, oh no, that was brutal.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That was brutal.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I mean, I just hope this guy can walk again.
Forget about baseball. Prayers up for Oswaldough Cabrera. You don't
usually see that in baseball.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That was brutal. I mean, his entire knee just buckled.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It wasn't as bad as Kevin Ware from Louisville in
the twenty thirteen NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
But it was pretty close and it just looked bad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And when the ambulance comes on the field like that,
I said, oh man, this is not good. You never
really see the ambulance come on a major league baseball field.
And when they came, I'm like, oh, he's going straight
to the hospital. There's you know, this is really bad.
So it was just a tough night. For the Mariners
as a whole. But that's what a star looks like.
(12:46):
Aaron Judge, you're seeing it right now. Watch him. I'm
gonna be there tonight, gonna be checking that out. I
wanna see ninety nine. I've seen him before, but I
want to see him again, and I want to see
if the Mariners and turn this losing streak around, because
it is absolutely right now. Y'all were right. You said
(13:10):
last week, Mark, don't it's not to her. You don't
have to eat your crow, bro. Yet you were right.
You know what, the audience is usually right. They were,
and I was really proud of yesterday and it shows
when we were doing what do you say? Text of
the Day and I was talking about I couldn't think
of Hugh Grant's name.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I couldn't think of it. Who was the guy that
was married to Elizabeth Hurley back in the nineties. He
ended up paying for a prostitute and he got busted
in La Hugh what what was his name? And then
the text line just flooded in. You grant you, grant you,
grant you, grant you, grant you grant, thank you, thank
you for listening. I appreciate it. But you were Right's
(13:52):
guess I'm not eating that crow on the Mariners just yet. Wow. Wow,
we all thought that the pitching was going to be
Imagine getting after September and the Seahawks having the second
worst defense in the NFL when you thought going into
the season it was a top five defense. Imagine that
(14:16):
it was bad. It was really really bad.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And I don't know, but this team not feeling him
right now, not feeling him at all. So Chris Russo
coming up at the top of next hour. Brendan Haywood,
one of the only people in the world that can
say he was a teammate in the NBA of Michael
Jordan and Lebron James. He will join us at the
(14:40):
top of the noon hour. Coming up next. Why don't
we just call it the WWE. Just just stop the
sham and call it what it is. It's fixed, it's rigged.
Just call it the WWE. Next on MJ and the
Midday Radio ninety three to three kJ R. At them,
(15:04):
I think this is so fricking fixed, it's it's not
even funny anymore. The Calves won the lottery right after
Lebron left to get Kyrie Irving. The Pelicans won the
lottery right after the CP three trade, okay, which screwed
(15:25):
the Charlotte Bobcats, who had the worst winning percentage in
NBA history. Then the Pelicans again won the lottery right
after the Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers so they
could get Zion Williamson number one. We had a text
ring yesterday who said how the Pistons got screwed out
(15:49):
of the number one pick two years ago to get
Victor Wembayama because the NBA wanted San Antonio, which has
been down so long, to get the number one pick.
So they fixed that too, and they did it again
yesterday the Dallas Mavericks get the number one pick after
(16:10):
trading Luca to the Lakers. Because it's been an absolute
bleep show in Dallas for Nico Harrison and that franchise
bleep show. Can't we just to call it and admit
what it is. And here's the thing where I knew
this process was completely totally BS totally when they would say, well,
(16:35):
we have the executives from ernstin Youngen.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Oh really, Oh well, I feel so much better now
because it's not like there's crooks on Wall Street. Oh oh,
those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Probably most of them who had worked at Goldman in
sacks when that whole thing went down right now, about
a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's just a sham. It's a sham. So there it is.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
The Dallas Mavericks get the number one pick after trading
away a top five NBA player who was twenty five
years old to the Lakers, and they get, oh, you
might ask, well, Mark, what was the percentage one point
eight percent chance they had to get the number one pick?
One point eight percent chance. Same thing in two thousand
and eight when the Bulls were down for a long
(17:29):
time post Jordan, they gave him the number one pick
to get Derrick Rose. It happened so many times, so
many freaking times. At this point, it's just Kyrie and
twenty eleven to Cleveland, Anthony Davison, twenty twelve to New Orleans,
Cleveland getting back to back year number one picks. Cleveland
had the number one pick three out of four years.
(17:50):
Twenty eleven, twenty thirteen, and twenty fourteen. They took Anthony
Bennett out of UNLV was one of the biggest boss,
if not the biggest bus in NBA draft history, with
the first overall pick and in twenty fourteen they got
Andrew Wiggins, who was great. But then Lebron comes in
after the season and Lebron, you know, he's like, I
want to get Kevin Love instead. We want to win
a title next year, So they traded Andrew Wiggins to
(18:13):
Minnesota for Kevin Love. It's it's on and on and
on like the Erica Badu song, on and on and
on and on. That's what it is. An Erica Badu
reference today. Didn't they have that on your Bengo card?
Did you now look her up? She was great, great
(18:35):
R and B singer. But what a joke. This is
so and you know it's a joke when they won't show.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
The process the ping pong, they won't show it. They
don't show it. They just show the envelopes. Why don't
we do the ping pong balls like they would do
for the state lottery? All right, tonight you're winning numbers
are sick four eight, three one, And they show the
(19:05):
ping pong balls getting sucked up like they used to
do it those.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Drive through at the bank when you would put your
money or check in the thing and then you put
the thing in there and you hit the send button.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, you remember those.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, those are the good old days, right, those have
been systematically eliminated.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Why don't they show the process on TV? What a joke?
What an absolute joke. I don't get it. I just
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And last night the internet it was literally breaking the internet.
It was going crazy. Yeah, they had to do a
solid for Dallas. They lost Luca on their own accord.
By the way, they Nico Harrison woke up one day
in fi be worried last year, said, you know what
(20:01):
I think I'm gonna do. I'm gonna trade a top
five NBA player who took us to the NBA Finals
last year, and I'm gonna trade them for a broken
down bag of bones glass dall named Anthony Davis, who's
in the twilight of his career, on the back four
or five holes of his career, probably about hole fifteen
(20:24):
right now, maybe sixteen. Just a joke, so you can't
get it. Listen, this has been fixed, going back to
the Knicks in nineteen eighty five where they had the
frozen envelope and they knew don't pick the frozen envelope.
(20:45):
And it's I mean, now there's talk that the NFL
could look into doing a lottery. Just if you do it,
just have it be above board and have it be
legitimate so the people can see it happening. I want
to see ping pong balls of the team, Oh, this
(21:08):
team at fourteen, the Sacramento Kings get the fourteen pick. Oh,
with the thirteen pick to Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I want to see it as if it's a true lottery,
that's all I want to see. Make it be legitimate.
Such a joke, an absolute joke, and it was a
total sham and Utah, I'm sorry. I thought you had
your great white hope comingto Salt Lake City and Cooper Flag.
(21:37):
Unfortunately that didn't happen because the NBA screwed you over,
just like they've screwed so many teams over in the past.
And I'm glad the Texter brought that up on the
Tech the four nine, four or five one text line yesterday.
How they did it to the Pistons two years ago.
They should have gotten Victor Wembayama instead. You know, they
(21:59):
still got a great team, much better than San Antonio.
But imagine Victor Wemby there with Kate Cunningham Jaden Ivy
in that whole squad. Who wow, man, that'd be you
know what I heard about Victor Wembayama just one thing.
I already needs to sleep eleven twelve hours a night
because his body is so disproportionate. He needs eleven to
(22:23):
twelve hours of sleep a night to get through a day.
He had to sleep half the day because he's so
you know, seven to six. He's just he's awkward. I mean,
he's just a freak and he needs to sleep. I'm like, real,
I go, you know what, that makes sense? That makes sense?
(22:46):
Anything surprised you last night, Christopher Kidd on that lottery.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't know where to spand on this because you
were so confident yesterday about Utah getting it. You thought
it was going to be rigged. But no, but I
but here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It wouldn't have been ranked they had the highest chance
of getting it, but they want they had, but they
had to take care of a bigger market, and Dallas
is a bigger market than.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
You know what we're gonna be doing when their first
round exit next season.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, it won't even matter.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I like that, No, think about it, Like, are we
really like it's unfair for a team like Utah that
could use someone like Cooper Flag to get to the
next level. No any so it would be like, could
you and as you mentioned, it's fitting Cooper Flag couldn't
fit anywhere else. It's Utah. It's perfect for him. Yeah,
but I tell you man, But now he's going to
go to a team that it's not gonna be Cooper
(23:37):
Flag to the Jazz.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We know that much.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No, but they they had to keep that market relevant
because they just went to the finals and they don't
know how much longer Anthony Davis has.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You don't want a way, so okay, you.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Trim their best, but it still probably won't matter.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It might not, but though, but it might not.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
But that was to make good the NBA said, Okay, Dallas,
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanza in May.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
There you go, Dallas, Mary New Year. Oh there it is.
I mean, and now people can stop talking about Oh
Nico and what here's another thing that got Nico off
the hook, Lakers losing in five, getting there, getting there there.
He doesn't look like a madman, does he. He's the
(24:22):
Lakers losing in five right now. And now you couple
that in the first round I might add, now you
bring in Cooper flag from Duke, It's it's interesting, it's
very so flag will I mean Anthony Davis is not
the four, and Anthony Davis wants to play the four.
He's not the four.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
He's got a problem there. I got a problem there.
And now you're looking at what's his face? Wants more
money like a center what's his name?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The center?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Like, oh my Gafford Lively, thank you Gafford with Tarkansas.
He deserves it. You want to get your money, get
your money. But they're gonna have. It's gonna be and
they all do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, it's yeah, they all like listen.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
All Bucket get Hiss and Kyrie as well. But he's
gonna miss a lot of time, obviously.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think one of the things this is a funny
text from the two five three. He needs eleven to
twelve hours of sleep because he is French and they
are a week.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Are you watching the Netflix US versus the Olympic Games? No,
check it out because they have the little beef between
the French and the Americans.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I haven't seen that yet. It's really good.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No, I saw I saw shooting guards about Gilbert Arenas
and Javaris Critton.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know what's cool? Though, I got no it sucks.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Arenas used to be a bully, but I gotta give
Gilbert Reena's credit. They're tight and he takes all the blame.
He's like, I'm the reason that his life wins sideways
and I want to I'm here for him, and I'm
like there was a happy ending there, Yes, there was
a happy ending. And I'm like, good for you, Gilbert Arenas,
and good for you to you know, it's like you can't.
I mean, dude, I didn't know he brought gun to
(26:00):
the locker room.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Gilbert Arenas did, like he really was, like, go for it, dude,
he brought guns to the locker room. So everyone wanted
to make Javar's Critinton out to be the bad guy.
I'm not saying he was a good guy, but then yeah,
I mean I just feel bad. I mean Javar's Crittinton was.
You know, you don't mess with dudes from South Atlanta.
You just don't mess with guys from there. You really don't.
(26:30):
Uh So, all right, coming up next?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Oh oh boy, it's April and an NFL team is
already broken.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Who is it. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right here on MJ in the midday Chris Russo, the
mad Dog coming up at the top of the hour.
Don't go anywhere right here on ninety three to three
KJR FM.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
All right, hit in all fields. Right here on MJ
and the midday mad Dog Chris Russo coming up in
about thirteen minutes in the top of the hour. One
of the pioneers in sports talk radio. You see him
on first take. Seems like he's on there every day
with his good buddy Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I think it was a New York Times best selling author.
If it wasn't for him, me Ian, Chuck Softy, none
of us would be here. He was one of the
guys on that Mount Rushmore of sports talk radio and
just can't wait to have him. So all right, Christopher kid,
(27:40):
this is something that I didn't look at it yet.
It's from WFAN, but it says it's April and the
Giants have already broken.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What is up on? From boomer in g O on
w fa N.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Good morning, guys, GEO got I got a bonupit we
get this morning?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
You?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Is everything is everything okay? This morning?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Because you've done nothing but ripped the Giants since six
o'clock this morning, the old miss games?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Have you actually watched all year?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Okay, I've sat there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I sat there and watched.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
If the Giants like a quarterback, you go out and
get them geo.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, hey, listen to me. Hold on for myself.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
You're a bold I see you, or for God's sake,
Park And by the way, I said this for dummies
like you earlier that I hated the Vikings picking JJ McCarthy.
I said he stinks and I hated it, So it
has nothing to do with it being a Vikings fan
or not. And how do you old miss games of
John Gruden watch of Jackson Dark And.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I'll tell you right now you did? How many times
have you watched them play?
Speaker 5 (28:41):
If you watch them play?
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Hold up, seriously, you're a Giants fans. You're gonna suck
off every one of their picks. She's from all this
likeli you probably want know sickos who sat there and
defended Daniel Jones for sex a year.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Get out for it.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
He's a pudgy you clamber.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
But cow many games all this?
Speaker 7 (29:15):
I don't need to watch any games all this? How
many games?
Speaker 6 (29:18):
And p y.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
You gotta watch Zack Wilson play zero, and I knew
he was gonna suck.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
And he did.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
NFL trap passion.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Do you what?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Do you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Stop it?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
God?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
This is his staff.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Count, who's a system quarterback in Lane Kiffin's offense. Go
go look up Matt Corral. How did that work out?
I just crumpled up a.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Corrals in the UFL.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I'll lose my voice again.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Nicks meet the Pistons won eighteen one.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Upsets. I watch zero and I knew he's gotta suck. Yeah, yeah,
Well this is a snap count. Just starting to know
these takes.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
By the way, I gotta tell you, I kind of
like the way I like Geo's retort to Geo's very good.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
He's very good.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
He's taking the place of Craig Carton, who used to
be in that spot. Craig Carton, of course, as you know,
used to be with Boomer Sizin. Uh, Boo, Boomer and
Carton for over a decade. Craig Carton got arrested for
running some federal felonious concert ticket scam. Or you could
buy tickets to Metallica or jay Z, but you didn't
(30:53):
get the tickets, and that's why he went to prison
for like, well two and a half three years. He
was off the air for three years. Comes back to WFAN.
He's number one. He's one of only two people in
the history of New York City to be number one
in morning or afternoon. Who was the other guy, Howard Stern.
So speaking of Boomer Sison, good segue? Uh oh, Dave Simms.
(31:15):
Dave Simms, you're not in Kansas anymore. You're not in
Seattle anymore. You just kind of when.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You miss games, especially for the New York Yankees, guess
what you're going to get called out on the air.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
To Seattle tonight. Take on the marin as. I imagine
Dave Simms will be back. He used to work in Seattle.
He didn't do these games this weekend, but I would
think it would with Susan.
Speaker 10 (31:43):
He was visiting with family in Seattle. That's what somebody
told me on x SO they must to talk about
a broadcast so.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
That I get out there a couple of days early.
Maybe my did Mother's Day weekend. Maybe he wanted to
see family.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
He's from New York.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
Oh, he's got some family out there. But he was
in Seattle for what fifteen years? Right, So maybe their
kids live out there and they want.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
To know to do the Yankees.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I mean SI didn't miss any games, did he?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
He did not miss many games?
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Well, if he did because he was sick or something,
or because you know, he was in his eighties and
he didn't want to travel to second games because of COVID.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I you know, I do want.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Two thousand straight games something like that.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
He wants you just pick a week off.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That wasn't a week it was a weekend weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
I love Dave Simms, but you know, unless there's something
major going on that I don't know about, then I'll
I'll gladly retract the criticism.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Otherwise, get your ask in the book. What are you doing?
You just took the Yankee job. It's supposed to be
the job of your life.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Now do you think that Dave Simms when he walks
in and see his family, goes, hey, nah, like his
nieces and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's here.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
There's no reports that that there's anything a miss or anything. Right,
I don't know. I don't think so I wasn't feeling well,
or he got or something. You're telling me he went
the Seattle to visit family and friends.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm not telling you.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I have no idea where he went. Oh what are
you thinks going on here?
Speaker 6 (33:08):
That that sounds like a good reasoning right there, with
the visiting uh Seattle a couple of days early sounds reasonable.
I mean, it sounds like something that could sounds reasonable
to you, not for me personally, but I'm saying it's
that sounds plause to that that happens.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
Scott d McKay reaches out to me and says, Dave
Simms is in Seattle this weekend visiting family before calling
the Mariners series. So he I trust this guy looks
like a normal guy. Seems like he was listening to.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The who the hell? So?
Speaker 8 (33:37):
So the Yankees are in Sacramento and he's this guy
is telling me that or telling you that, said Dave
is visiting family in Seattle before he got to Seattle
a little bit early Mother's Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I love Dave, I told you, But you know, what
are we doing? The Mets beat the Cubs six to two.
Speaker 11 (33:57):
All those players have moms. What are you looking at? Yeah?
And Boomer's really triggered on this. Wow, Boomer Sison did
not like that. Hey, Dave Simms, there's no Seattle Sally's
in New York City. Man, it's you are in.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You are in an ocean full of great white sharks
up there. And when you miss a series and you
don't have an excuse absence, you're gonna get called out
on one of the biggest morning shows in the world.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That's how it works, not. You know, they don't throw
softballs up there. It's not how it works up there.
So I like Dave Simms though he's a good guy.
So but uh man, boy Boomer did not plenty punches.
You know else doesn't plenty punches.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
The mad dog Chris Russo, We will talk to him
next right here on MJ in the midday ninety three
to three KJR FM, don't go anywhere
