Hour 3 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Has it Out for Kyrie Irving

Chris and Rob tell us if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went too far when he said Kyrie Irving should lose sponsors after the Brooklyn Nets point guard shared a video from Alex Jones, explain why it's unfair to say that Giannis Antetokounmpo isn't all that skilled, and answer the tough questions in this week's edition of Trollin' or Rollin'.

six thirty trolling or rolling do Fox Sports Radio Weekend
host Martin Wiss So keep it like. We got a
lot of good stuff for you this hour, and Rob
we will start with the legendary Kareem Abdul Jabbar calling

(01:32):
out I think he'll be I don't know somebody. I
think it's an overstatement. He could be iconic going forward
because of his handle. Kyrie Irving greatest ball handler in
the history of the league in my view and in
a lot of people's view. But anyway, Kareem in a

(01:53):
recent he writes for sub Stack rob and he took
major issue as did a lot of people, with Kyrie
Irving sharing a video clip of noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Alex Jones it's from way back now. Alex Jones is

(02:15):
a guy that was denying Robbed that Sandy Hook took place,
you know, to see what he lost in the case
shooting right? Was it five million something like that. Yeah,
but he was denying ridiculously that that took place. But
Kyrie's not to excuse you, but his his UH post

(02:37):
was of Alex Jones way back in like two thousand
and one or two thousand and two, basically kind of
it was a New World Order Order type post about
you know, a new a secret society putting out these plagues, right,
releasing plagues upon the world. So they could profit. And

(02:59):
one of those, of course in Kyrie's mind, and what
he was certainly referring to was COVID and Kyrie of
course never got vaccinated. But here's what Kareem Abdul Jabbar
wrote about it, Rob, Kyrie Irving would be This is
a direct quote from his article, Kyrie Irving would be

(03:19):
dismissed as a comical buffoon if it weren't for his
influence over young people who look up to athletes. When
I look at some of the athletes who have used
their status to actually improve society, Colin Kaepernick, Lebron James
Muhammed Ali, Bill Russell, Billy Jane King, Arthur Ash and more,

(03:45):
it becomes clear how much Irving has tarnished the reputations
of all athletes who strive to be seen as more
than dumb jocks. Irving does not seem to have the
capacity city to change, but we have the capacity to
keep fighting against his brand of destructive behavior. One way

(04:09):
to do that, beyond shaking our heads and nasty tweets,
is to write to his sponsors and tell them to
drop Irving or you will drop them. Rob your thoughts,
I want you to go first, on this. I want
you to go first. I obviously have said I don't agree.

(04:34):
I'm vaccinated. I didn't agree with Kyrie his decision not
to get vaccinated NATed for many reasons. But I know
people that I know well and love and respect who
are not vaccinated. I don't agree with Kyrie's tweet of

(04:58):
Alex Jones, but he's got a right to put out
what he wants to. I respect Kareem and certainly the
athletes he mentioned are tremendous for what they did, you know,
for human rights and all of that. But I stop

(05:21):
at saying you should go to the sponsors that Kyrie
has and tell him to drop him. If people want
to just drop and look, Kareem's it's his right to
write that and say that and start this movement if
that's what he wants to do, But I don't believe

(05:42):
I wouldn't support that. I mean, if people want to
drop the brands, that's fine. I'm just saying I'm not
about to go for what Kyrie's done. I'm not going
to go and say he shouldn't have sponsorships or how
dare this company sponsor him? Or that. I think, Look,
we're in a pluralistic society. We're in a society that

(06:05):
is increasingly on the one hand, letting people say, due,
beat themselves whatever you want to be, that's cool, and
don't just know people shouldn't be offended by you do
what you want to do. And then and then on
the other hand, people are seeming to be more sensitive
than ever as well, which is kind of strange. But

(06:27):
I don't agree with Kyrie on these points. But I'm
not I'm not gonna go try to get his sponsorships taken,
is my point. I think people are going to have
in a pluralistic society of four hundred nearly what nearly
four hundred million people, you're going to have very different opinions.

(06:52):
With social media to day, those opinions are gonna be
out there more than ever. More people have a megaphone,
more people have, you know, a chance to speak their minds.
I don't agree with everything in mainstream society. I don't
agree with everything that's being pushed as normal and behavior

(07:14):
that we all have to accept. And I wouldn't want
somebody trying to rob me of any of my livelihood
because of that, and so'm I look, Kareem can like
I said do what he wants. I respect him, but
I wouldn't go as far as he's saying against Kyrie.

(07:35):
People do it all the time, whether it's someone leading
the charge or not. So I hear what you're saying.
But people I've done it, I don't. I don't eat
at certain places if I don't believe in who owns
the restaurant or how they treat their workers. I've done it.
I've done it subconsciously a lot. There's certain places I

(07:55):
won't go to, or certain people I won't give my
money to if I don't uh feel that they're good
people or just or that they've done an injustice. That's
who I am. Whether someone dictates it or says the
boycott boycotts or boycott boycotts are good. Yeah, but but
also uh Martin Luther King and different people let boycotts

(08:19):
against the bus company and in Alabama, right, don't ride
the buses, don't and and got things change because they
rallied around it and didn't think it was just or right.
So I have seen where people have promoted others to
stop financing somebody in damage a company or whatever because

(08:42):
of their uh policies. Right. So I have seen that
and it has worked because let me say this, when
you call people money, things change all of a sudden, right,
And I agreed with like with the rate with civil rights.
To me, race is a different matter than a lot

(09:02):
of this stuff, Okay, And I made no bones about that.
I'm not saying all boycotts aren't good. There is a
time the boycott. I'm not saying they're certainly with the
civil rights movement and things like that. I'm just saying
I think race is different. So I just want to
clarify that I'm with you on MLK and civil rights
and all that, right, but I think they're in this

(09:24):
case specifically, I'm not. I'm not with right. The NFL
did it too at the state of Arizona. People of
Arizona spoke and said that they didn't want Martin Luther
King to be a national paid national holiday, and they said, fine,
we're gonna punish the state and not bring a Super
Bowl to the state as long as you don't have it.

(09:45):
That's what they did, right, right, Okay, I'm sure a
lot of people in Arizona they said, wait a minute,
we voted and the people didn't want marthin Luke the
king to be a paid holiday one. Why should the
NFL get involved in all politics, right and and our
way of how we want to run our people. It
happens all the time. I will agree with Kareem from

(10:09):
the standpoint of it is dangerous because people have the
right to say and do whatever they want. We remember
Chris when he said the earth was flat and all that,
and everybody chuckled and laughed and all that he had.
He has an influence over people, and there's nothing wrong
with people. All the wrong people make statements or whatever.

(10:30):
But you don't want to be reckless and just throwing
out stuff. This guy who he's retweeting and whatnot has
been taken accord and some of the stuff that has
been said and done is some bad stuff. So you
gotta be careful who you're following, and who you're retweeting,
and who you're endorsing. That's what's scary. And I understand

(10:52):
why Kareem would be alarmed by what Kyrie's done and
his affiliation with some people. I agree with all of that.
Do you do you think do you agree with Kareem
calling for the sponsors to drop Kyrie Kareem if he
wants to do it and make it on his Chris, like,

(11:15):
I would never tell anybody what they should do. But
if they organized it and there were other people who
were upset, say, I would say, right here, Chris, the
family of the victims of Sandy Hook, and they said
they wrote to Nike and said, Kyrie, this guy has

(11:35):
lied and done all this stuff. And you have a
somebody who wears your sneakers and endorses them and whatnot,
and he's backing a guy who denied that our children
were killed. I wouldn't be mad at them if they
took that action. I couldn't be. Yeah, and I think
that Kyrie. And again I don't know, I don't know
if he's addressed like that, Alex Jones. You know what

(11:59):
he said about Sandy Hook, which is ridiculous. Yeah, And
again I'm not backing in any way, shape or form,
Alex Jones. I'm not even backing Kyrie. No, I know that.
I'm just saying in this case, I would not go
out and say he shouldn't have sponsorships. I am not

(12:22):
like I said against boycotts in general, or you know,
like I said, all the bus boycotts and the civil
rights movement and even things since then, there's a time
for that. To me, this wasn't it. But if now,
if Kyrie would have came out and supported Alex Jones
and his lies about Sandy Hook, I think that's a

(12:44):
different story. I think this is mainly, I guess on
the vaccination, because that's what his tweet or post whatever
it was, was a if he if he had, if
he said in public Chris On up in front of
a mike that he backed Scott, it would be hell
to pay and even the NBA, which I totally agree,

(13:05):
no question about it. We know Kyrie may not even
know this guy. I don't know if you know this
guy when he was saying about Sandy Hook, yeah, um,
but yeah no, if he came out and said he
supported him in that regard, no question um and rightly
so Rob. And that's where I don't know if I agree.

(13:27):
I don't. I don't really agree with Kareem that Kyrie's
tweet of what Alex Jones said twenty years ago means
he's like a follower of this guy or a supporter
of what he said with Sandy Hook, you know what
I mean? And I think that's what Kareem is making
a connection that oh Kyrie must rock would just dude

(13:49):
like he's a disciple of Alex Jones and all he said.
And I don't think that's the case. But it looks
rob We've said that Kyrie needs to be on his
best behavior this season or the court and off the court,
and it seems like as far as saying the things

(14:11):
he wants to say and that, I don't know that
that's changed. So um, we'll see. But but I'll say this, Chris,
I was anxiously watching the next preseason game against Philly
last night. Uh, I just wanted to see I wanted
to see Ben out there Simmons for the first time,

(14:32):
you know what I mean. Like, I really thought it
meant a lot that he got out there. I hate
you say that, like you know what I mean, but
I'm with you. Yeah, it was. It was definitely like
something I wanted to against Philly. Yeah, to him play
and he shot a jumper. I only saw the one
jumper to turn around Jay in the lane. That was
a brick, But the fact that he shot it, I mean,

(14:55):
I just think I don't want to give him too
much credit for just going out and doing his job,
but he clearly had mental hurdles to get over robbed
and it looks like I'm glad it looks like he
got over him, you know, So hopefully that that remains
the case. All Right, more I Couple coming your way,
Chris and Rob Fox Sports Radio. Fox Sports Radio has

(15:16):
the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all
of our shows at foxsports Radio dot com and within
the iHeart Radio app. Search f SR to listen live.
All right, we are live the I Couple from the
Tirak dot com studios and trolling and rolling with Martin
Weiss coming up in about ten minutes Rob. The annual

(15:40):
GM Survey has been put out. Forty three percent of
GM's in the NBA picked Jannis and the Milwaukee Bucks
to win the championship, twenty five percent picked Golden State,
twenty one percent predicted the Clippers, and an eleven percent

(16:02):
said the Celtics. Yannis received second most votes to win MVP.
First went to Luca don chich Uh, but Yannis reigned
supreme and almost everything else. Rob obviously the championship. He
was also voted the best power forward, the best defensive player,

(16:23):
the most versatile defender, and the most versatile player, and
I want to contrast that now, I think he's the
best player in the league. Rob, What do you think? Yeah?
I mean I think, Um, it's hard not to vote

(16:44):
him the best player in the league. I do um
because of what he's been able to accomplish, his his
trophy case the championship, and even though they didn't win it,
you know, last year or whatever, just the idea of
will he is his team. I'm not so sure that
they're going to win another championship with that squad. I'm

(17:06):
not convinced of that. Chris, Um, do you have your
pick in the East right now? I don't have a pick,
but I'm I'm still not convinced that Milwaukee's going back
to the finals. Just um, I can't give you anybody else.
Do you know what I mean? But I don't don't.
I don't think it's a layup, like, it's not a

(17:26):
layerup by any No. It's gonna be tough. Absolutely, it's
gonna be tough. Um they Yannis saying, Rob, g I
want you to read the quote from Yannis when he talked,
because you know, everybody's talking about skills. Gilbert Arenas says,
Yannis isn't skilled. U k D and Kyrie like to

(17:47):
talk about skills. Some people think they're the most skilled
duo ever to play. They think Kyrie's the most skilled
point guard ever to play. This was Yannis's take on
guys talk about quote unquote skills. He said, quote, it
takes more than skills to be great. The thing that

(18:08):
makes me a step further is the obsession and the
discipline I have towards the game. You think, you think about,
you think about consistency. He's been great for twenty years
about getting better obsession, not just skills. Then he also
say the most skilled what something about the most skilled
person player may not be in NBA or something to
that effect. Rob Yep, he does continues on later on

(18:31):
in the in the story, it takes more than skills
to be great. That's what people don't understand. You can
be the most skilled person on earth and still don't
make the NBA. The NBA is not about just skills.
I think what's interesting, Rob, is that we do have
players talking a lot now about skills, and you know,
kind of in some instances it's almost they're almost taking

(18:54):
shots at Jannis. No. I think that does not like
to take shots because they are some aren't, right, but
I mean even if they not, don't say him, you
know what I mean, Like it's like I almost think
it's this, it's almost to get away from the accomplishments

(19:14):
and you know how guys the awards and what guys
may be viewed as the best. It's almost like they're
looking at this. They got this esoteric knowledge, this secret
knowledge about who's really the best, and it's these dudes
with skills, and skills are obviously important, but I don't

(19:38):
think it's the end all be all that Some people
are kind of making it out to be robbed some
players KD. Kyrie, Gilbert Arenas and maybe James Harden because
he ripped Yanna's lack of skills, so to speak. And
when Yanna says you could be the most skilled, but

(19:58):
rob we I think a lot of guys who are
awesome shooters aren't in the NBA. Some of the best
shooters in the world are not in the NBA. Right,
The best dunkers in the world, a lot of them
aren't in the NBA because it's not just about shooting

(20:21):
ability ball handling ability. I'm sure there are dudes they
can handle the ball better than Kyrie like that aren't
in the NBA, but they don't have the rest of
the package and the dunkers as well, and so they'll
have Oh, they don't have to discipline to play on
the team, Chris, right in the practice and or even

(20:42):
within the context of a twenty four second shot clock,
run a play right, or read a playbook, you know
what I mean, or any of that. Yep. So I
just I mean Rob at the end of the day,
because he is skilled for seven. We don't tend to

(21:02):
think of Yannis as a big man, but he's a
big man. And did anybody rip Shock for not having
quote unquote skills? Right? And God knows early on, Chris
remember yourself to come out of games because he couldn't
make free throws at the end. Let's right, Let's not
act like that didn't happen, right, right, And Shock actually was,

(21:26):
as you know this, Rob very obviously athletic, but also
some skills for a guy that big at that point
in time. You just didn't get to showcase him at
his size. But I just think Yannis, I mean, we
gotta remember again, he's a big man. His career, he rebounds.
At least at this point he's rebounded as well as

(21:48):
Shock did. And so I just think at the end
of the day, Yannis is right that it takes more
than skills. Kyrie very well might be might be the
most skilled point guard, which maybe would make him the
most skilled player ever. He ain't the best point guard.

(22:11):
He's not the best player ever or even close. So
I just think it takes more. It's like if I
compared it to rapping, Rob. You got some guys that
are tremendous rappers, words, Smith's great, flows, all that, but
they don't make the best records, you know, underground back

(22:33):
not at all, right, you know, And it takes you
gotta have the whole package in that. And in sports,
in basketball, we talk about what Matthew Safford, Rob, how
strong is his arn't he got a strong arm, strong, right, right,
got a lot of physical tools, but he lacks a
lot of other things exactly. That's a good example. Yeah,

(22:56):
So I just you know, I'm kind of with Yannis,
and I think he's saying it because Rob, he knows
these dudes take shots at him and he's not He's
not one of them. And right, he didn't play up
in that circuit. He doesn't hang out with them, he
doesn't train with them. He's he grew up in a
different circumstance. His values, his what what moves him, what

(23:18):
shakes him, is different than Kats who grew up here.
That just just right. You're dumb. What are you doing?
Stay in Milwaukee? Who would stay there? Go to Miami?
Why would you play with the Bucks? You'll never win,
That's what That's what they said to him. Yep, yep,
no doubt, no doubt. So all right, we got our
Martin Weiss with trolling and rolling in a moment. But

(23:39):
first Ilo with the update. I am completely beside myself
with what I have just learned, and you're about to
be as well. We start with history being made the Yankees,
Aaron Judge hitting his sixty second home run of the
season to lead off Game two of a double header
at Texas off of Rangers pitcher Hey SEUs to Noko, That, however,

(24:02):
is apparently not the story. The story, at least right now,
is the guy who caught the ball. Because you want
to talk about winning at life, listen to this. So
the ball was caught on the fly in the front
row of the left field stands by a man named Corey.
Yeoman's caught it right in his glove, a perfect clean
catch for the record, mister Yeoman's told reporters he has

(24:23):
not thought about what he's going to do with the ball.
But get this. USA Today just reported that mister Yeoman's
is a vice president at Fisher Investments, a firm which
manages one hundred and ninety seven billion dollars worldwide. But wait,
there's more. We also just learned that mister Yeoman's wife

(24:46):
is a former contestant on The Bachelor. How old is
yeoman old enough? I suppose you want to talk about
winning at life? Vice president of Crazy. I was gonna
say this, rob Ilo, if I would caught that ball,

(25:08):
I would sell it to the highest bidder, or you know,
Judge wanted to pay me for it, I would, or
keep it one or the other. I would. I would
give it back to Judge. I would, but I would
want to get some money something in exchange, Chris. And
if that's the case, like even if Judge gave me,
like not money out of his own pocket, but gave

(25:30):
me stuff that I could sell to you know what
I mean, Other stuff that I could like the batting
gloves that he wore or something other that I could sell.
Could the ball means so much to him, But I
wouldn't hold him hostage for the ball. I would give
it to him. You want to talk about what do
you get for the guy that has everything? Well, I
was gonna say, he don't need to get. That's nunbelieve.

(25:52):
He's got plenty. Corey Yeoman's lucky and winner at life.
That's for the game. By the way, the Yankees have
a two one lead at Texas in the top half
of the fifth inning. We update the race four the
championship of the National League East. The Braves have a
two one lead at Miami in the top half of
the ninth inning. Meanwhile, the Mets scored seven runs in

(26:13):
the bottom of the first ditting in game one of
a double header and game two of a double header
at Washington. The Mets lead to Nationals seven and nothing
in the top half of the fourth inning. As we speak,
Atlanta in first place by one over the Mets in
the National League East. Fellas, I gotta tip my cap
to Corey Omens. Back to you, all right, thank you, Ilo.

(26:34):
We're live from the tirag dot com studios. It's time
for trolling and rolling with Martin White, Tom Brady, he's done.
Aaron Rodgers did not have a Pro Bowl season. Time
it's trolling or rolling, all right, her White, I'll break

(26:58):
it for you. Your story that I read, rollo and
if they don't like me not liking the idea of
giving the ball back to Aaron Juck Oh man, Hey, hey, hey, yo,
you need to get that phone back. Man, this is ridiculous.
We can barely hear you. No kind of your phone

(27:24):
is really where are you at? Dude? You got the
worst phone in America, Martin, you really do. He can't
even hear you can't even hear us. All right, we'll
get him back by rob Um. Yeah. How much you
think that ball is gonna go for? Yeah, that's a

(27:45):
good question. It's not the all time record, but it's
gonna go for some cheddar Yankees. You know that's what
you gotta play up Yankees, right, And he passed Babe
Roots and Roger Marris right like all time great names
And I kind of feel like, look, I get where
you're coming from for Judge, But look, man, if you're
a fan, you go to games for stuff like, oh,

(28:05):
I get that, why you go with your ball? I
mean you know I would go as a kid all
the time looking to catch a ball, you know, right,
But I wouldn't. I wouldn't like hold him hostage. I
mean I would want something for sure. I like a
million bucks, Chris, you would ask for a million beyond.

(28:25):
I don't know. I want to see what is worth.
I'm gonna be honest, I want to see what is worth. Now,
if you went and said to people Joe public and
remember baseball, uh put a marking on those, Chris to
authenticate did you know that? Yes, every ball that they pitched,
the judge had a marking on it so that they

(28:45):
knew so because mark because people switch balls, you know that, right?
Like he could have easily had a ball in his pocket.
And yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely all right we uh, I
guess Martin. You have to catch him on the weekends
with his man VJ. Husky. Uh, seven o'clock crop out
eastern Saturday night. He needs a new phone for real.

(29:08):
All right? Well, you know what we've been scraping by uh,
and we've gotta show now start doing trolling a rolling.
We're gonna have Rob Rob, g's gonna read us the questions. Rob,
We'll do it very quickly, and then we're up against it.
All right, guys. The Seattle Seahawks off to a good start.
Geno Smith now the highest rated quarterback in the NFL
according to Pro Football Focus. Meanwhile, in Deniver Russell Wilson

(29:30):
been struggling, and the Seahawks now own six of the
Broncos picks in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three.
Chris trolling a rolling The Seahawks actually wand that Russell
Wilson trade trolling. Oh man, hey, hey, hey, hey, the
Broncos have their quarterback for the next what They signed
him up for four more years? So five years? All right?

(29:53):
They got a guy they know they can count on. Um.
Despite the slow start, Geno is going to turn into
a pumpkin and come back to earth within the next
forty seven minutes, all right, So or realistically maybe the
next week or two. So no, I definitely think Denver

(30:15):
one is straight. Yeah, I'm trolling the two. I'm trying.
Oh man, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, if four weeks
made a season, then Gino Smith wouldn't have been a
journeyman quarterback. It's just not four weeks does not make
a season. We've seen guys have great a couple of
weeks or whatever. What was that guy with the Jets,

(30:36):
Chris Mike White. Mike White was insanity of the King,
the King of the four week career, Ryan Fitzpatrick exactly,
and he turned into a pumpkin the Hall of Famer
Geno's Smith's Gonta turn into a pizza. He'll be Gino's pizza. Okay,
speak for yourself. Four weeks turned Joe Flacco into a

(30:57):
multi multi, multi millionaire. Well that was in the playoffs.
I was four weeks into the Super Bowl. All right.
Question number two. Steelers are one in three and head
coach Mike Tomlin has never finished the season with the
record below five hundred. However, he did switch quarterbacks to
Kenny Pickett a half time of the Jets loss, and
now Pickett will be the starter moving forward. Chris trolling

(31:21):
a rolling the Steelers will finish above five hundred. Wow,
great question, because they've been playing better than expected and
that division is tight. But I'm a role I think
I'm saying they're gonna finish under under five hundred. So

(31:42):
is that you're trolling it. I'm trolling. I'm sorry, I'm sure,
but yeah, I think they're gonna finish under five hundred.
Tomlin's a great coach. That's just such a tribute to
him that they haven't ever had a losing record. But
I do think this is the first year, even though
I really like Kenny Pickett a lot and the edgy brings.
But yeah, I think they're losing record. Yeah, I'm trolling
it as well. Many I didn't like what they were

(32:03):
doing and what the quarterbacks they picked. Anyway, I'm just
that team is messed up. I'm sorry, all right, last one,
I trolling a rolling here on the R couple Fox
Sports Radio. Apparently NBA General managers are not impressed with
the Lakers offseason editions, because then the newest NBA GM
survey guys like Patrick Beverley, Juandascano Anderston Lonnie Walker not

(32:25):
moving the needle GMS picked the Lakers to finish eighth
in the West. Chris trolling or rolling, the Lakers are
destined to be a playing team once again. I'm a
troll that oh man, hey obviously somewhat healthy. Hey, but
I think they get in the top eight legitimately, Well,
I guess they gotta be what six or better, so

(32:49):
that makes it a little different. But I'm gonna still
roll or troll it. I think they can be a
six seat or better and rob g I'm I don't
think they will be, so I'm rolling with it. I'm
not buying the Lakers. And there's too many question marks.
I keep saying it over and over. When you have
too many question marks, there's a chance that things aren't

(33:11):
going to work out for you. Lebron in year twenty
has been hurt for three or the four years in
LA And also you gotta look at Anthony Davis. Okay,
this is gonna be the year he's never He's not
gonna get hurt. I don't buy that. And then I'm
not so sure they're gonna pull the tray trigger on
the Westbrook trade. So I'm not buying. I think the
Lakers missed the playoffs again, hater. And that's rolling rolling, Okay,

Eagles with number one in the league, and everybody still

we number one in sacks. Now we got one of
the best. We've got the best Russian in the league.
Were one of the best team in the league. Just hey,

(37:11):
It's first serious owners. If you were listening to a
Stevens fan of forty nine years, please feel free to call,
and if you do not agree, these gentlemen will be
glad to feeld your call. Our offensive line couldn't hold,
couldn't block toilet paper. They don't give our quarterbacks enough
time to look down feel to get their wide receivers
and they don't open up enough holes to let Naj

(37:33):
Harris fun like he's supposed to. Our deepense couldn't stop
a cold. We're up twenty to ten and you give
up two touchdowns to the lowly Jets. Are you serious?
We haven't had a losing season since two thousand and three.
When touchdown Tommy Maddox, this quarterback, what do you think
this is two thousand and four? Big Ben ain't coming

(37:53):
through that door. Can you pick? It's not going to
three thirteen straight victories. I'm sorry, folks, but we're gonna
have a losing season this year. Make if you disagree
and you're listening, please call in. I'm sure they'll talk
to you all right. Thanks Dennis, appreciated, no doubt. Tyler

Joseph in Indiana, you're in the couple of Fox sport
rated Joseph who get trash in I'm trash shocking. Adam

(39:21):
Silverber called the NBA owners governors. A governor. A governor
is elected. If you allow like, then the NBA players
could have elect their owners. They then Lebron James would
get Genie Buss out there and make himself into the
NBA governor. Governors or either a correct terms or either

(39:44):
appointed or elected. Owners are like are like kings and queens.
The rulers, Lebron James or the Lakers is the court
Jester of the Lakers. He's not King James. He's gesture
James or le fraud. Wow, we don't have time. So
we're talking now. We ain't got time for makes. I'm
talking to somebody today about the Sun's ownership buying the team.

(40:09):
Made an interesting point. They said they don't want to
own the team because you know, and you know this
covering the league, it's not a money maker on an
annual basis. The money you make owning a team is
the appreciation generally, you know what I mean. And that
could be They were like, that could be thirty forty
years down the line. Yeah, but it's worth it. Oh,

(40:31):
the appreciate the cowboy for sure. But year to year
is tough, all right. Bus
