Speaker 1 (01:07):
It is the Odd Couple that said hour number three
on a magic City Monday, and we will never give
up the Magic Sea Monday, ever, ever, ever, ever, we
don't care. Adam Silver, stay away from Fox Sports Radio
on The Odd Couple. You can be a bad commissioner
(01:29):
for a bad league, all.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Right, I'm sorry, I'm just so so working.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Wait, at least Lisa finished doing the read. All right,
are you gonna have Robbie set the table or not?
Speaker 1 (01:39):

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Use as directed for minor eights campaigns.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
All right, Vinnie Bonsenor from the California Post, a senior
NFL columnist, He joins us coming up some I'm more
excited in about twenty seven minutes, and we also have
less call.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Look at you, you aren't even going. I could Rob, Alex.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I could only imagine Alex how Rob would feel if
he bought.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
His ticket to this game. Because you remember, I can't
go because of the jury duty.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I was going to go to Atlanta, and I got
jewelry duty on Monday. I don't know if they're gonna
select me or not, but I'm gonna tell you my
heart was broken when I heard the news today that
Magic City Monday was officially canceled by that weasel NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver to kill Joy, the guy who doesn't
(02:51):
care about the Atlanta community and the institutions that make
that city what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
My heart bleached.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
All the people who bought hoodies, who bought tickets, who
were looking to have lou Williams, lemon pepper wings, honey
barbecue and all that, who were ready for this. They
didn't have people who were like, I'm not buying tickets
to that. I'm not taking part of this chicanery and
(03:21):
devildry or whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Instead read the room, Adam Silver.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
The only people who didn't care about it or didn't
want it, didn't word it from Atlanta. There were they
always sticking their nose in Atlanta business. This ain't no
NBA event, This is the person, This is the Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
This was an Atlanta event.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Sometimes you do special things in special cities for people
because you know how it resonates with people. How dare
you take this away from the people of Atlanta. I'm
sick to my stomach. If I could talk to Adam
Silver right now.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I have a feeling what you were saying. Can I
tell you what you were saying. It would not be pretty.
Tell him, Alex, you will say what would the five
figures say to the faith? I think you would slap
Adam Zilvera right now. I can't believe how I've set
you are the best part. The best part is Elijah,
what the game on me? My partner is really sad?
(04:29):
Y'all like not tongue in cheek. I'm doing this for
radio hamming it upset. He's been in the mood all day.
I didn't want to call him out. It has been
two hours and five minutes of you not being the same.
First I wonder if it was your bad scripts, mess,
your stomach up or something. No, no, it is you
upset that you can't go. First of all, he couldn't go,
but because of jury duty. But that this w You're
(04:50):
so mad. You're mad for the people who were even
gonna go yes, because through them they sold down. I
wanted to Now let's go a little further into this.
This is what I was telling you. I've been Atlanta
a gazillion times. My sister lives in Atlanta. I love Atlanta.
I actually if I Laura will I live in another
fifty years.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
But if I never live in Atlanta, I'll be shocked,
because you couldn't have told twenty year ago Kelvin that
he would never live in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I know what Magic City is. I know what it
means to people.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I know what that whole lifestyle, not even just Magic City.
You got all of the other clubs like that, what
it means to them out there. However, Rob, this is
what I was telling you. The NBA is a massive corporation,
billions and billions of dollars that's tied to other massive corporations,
whether it be soda companies and pop companies and candy
and chips and you know, Ford and all this other stuff.
(05:39):
And again, my whole thing was, I'm not shocked Atlanta
wanted to do this. I'm not shocked the Hawks wanted
to do this and went ahead. I kept telling you,
I was shocked the NBA was okay with them doing this.
Not Magic City saying we're gonna have an Atlanta Hawk night.
They Atlanta Hawks saying we're gonna have a Magic City night.
Because again, while you're.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay and other people okay, and hey, if that's what
you want to do, more power to you.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Go to the strip club. You ask your prerogative. The
difference is you're tying it to the NBA. And that's
why I was shocked that it was happening. Not shocked
that the Hawks would want to do it or that
at the City of Atlanta, more so that the NBA
would be okay with with the linking and the correlating
the two and tying them together.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's what shocked me. Rob Can I give you this? Yes,
my NBA c WPFS. You know what that stands for,
Rob G and Alex c WPFS.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Piece of ish ps.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Rob G, come on, Alex c w PF CWPF.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Close one personal friends. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Rob G is the winner my NBA c w Pfuh
Can I read.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You what I got? I want to know. Horrible public
relations by the NBA.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The cave one percent never should have got to the
stage of this without the league at least.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Signing off on something of this magnitude.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I don't believe that people are doing their own thing
and the NBA doesn't know anything going on this. That's
why I don't agree with this. I was told on
hold on and they had number two for my CWPL.
The league probably had no real position on it until
all the pushbacks started, and then that's when the league
got involved. They roll with If nobody said anything, it
(07:31):
would have rolled.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Disagree.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But my idea is then that that's not the way
a league should run. Elite should have their own standards
and you should have to clear things.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Through a league.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I don't care what night it is, right, I think
Rob g Am I lying Andy Furman when he was
at a racetrack in Alabama, he had a clue klux
Klan night.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
If you wore a.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Sheet, you got in for free. Andy got fired off
of that. Didn't but you get you get my point.
It's like somebody could have said, Andy, that's so far
that ain't that ain't gonna be at that point.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I think you wanted the seference package. You you knew
what was coming there.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What you get My point to this was the n
b A it never should have reached this to where
you feel.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Like you have to cave into anything.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's just that's why I'm saying, and have been saying
to you, I'm not so sure the NBA fully understood
what was going on from the jump, because but.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
What is to fully understand is to have wings to
sell hoodies, and.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It is the association Rock I get. It's gonna be awesome.
It's working there, having fun.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's illegal.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's a legal establishment, but it's illegal. It's a one
night there. You told me it was the Bazooki Bar
in downtown Detroit. Maybe I got an issue with it.
That's not that. That's not a lamb a lambmark in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Martin Uther the King dreamed it one day.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I can't believe again, I'm you're correct, the city of Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It is totally different. That is one thousand percent.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You know what, fans down there in Atlanta could have
easily shown their displeasure by not buying tickets.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I'm not going. I'm not taking my family.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm calling I'm calling up returning my tickets. I want
tickets for another game. That is not what happened. But
here's that that is not And that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Reading the room.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
If you would have got a pushback from your season
ticket holders or people who refuse to buy the ticket
because they didn't want to, because they didn't want to
be involved targetting, pushed back from buck the season ticket holders,
from massive corporate people.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's been millions and millions and millions of dollars. What
do they care about that?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Because I'm being tied to, like tie to an legal business,
not illegal, and they paid taxes.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I don't playing Atlanta businesses say this get you.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And is okay?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Though if you were talking about a lot of people
don't believe in gambling. How many times on this show,
Rob g we talked to Chris who nod into the
gambling thing because religious, But that don't stop Quis from
covering the NBA and NBA might not.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Also have a militia Knight where technically you your Second
Amendment allows you to have aar rifles be a militia.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You just put up a statue of a guy who
who stopped black.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
People from going to school and what I'm saying, and
guess what there could be back last year that and
eventually guess what they may have to do take that down.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
So I'm not arguing what is legal.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What I'm saying is you don't have to The league
may not want you, and this is what I was saying,
tie themselves to that, and not that they might, you know,
the league might even do the league might come in Atlanta,
look around and say where are we going tonight and
end up at Magic City, But the league again doesn't
want to tie their corporations to At the end of
the day, Rob, I know you love it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I know you have a ball.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I know Dange there Dagner are a friend of the show,
partner of the show. But Magic City for you say
this institution and I actually it is in Atlanta, But
it is also at the end of the day, a
strip club. Like there's no that that's what it is.
And I can see when the NBA may want to
say and say, can we just not be talking about
(11:24):
this is a scrip club?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I get that, but but but I think what you're
not being fair about is that the league, in order
to have a Magic City logo with the Hawks logo,
the league has to know where the logo was being
placed on. What to act like they didn't know what
was going on is just not real. I can't believe
(11:46):
that the league didn't know.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I actually don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Like even the Lakers, if it's something when they put
on when they when they take the logo.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's like even the NFL.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
If a player has a deal with something, sometimes they
wear the uniform. The league is sign off, and when
the league doesn't get any money, guess what they don't have.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
What I'm saying is, well, I don't know for sure,
and Rob G I might shoot off a couple of
texts during the break to some people who you know
connected the teams. I actually I'm saying, I genuinely don't know.
If a team has a night, if the league's like
I think they're entrusting you to have your night, like
the Dodgers do Family Faith Night, then they'll do this night.
(12:26):
They'll Latino Mexican Heritage, not they'll do African America like.
I don't know that they have to get those signed off.
I think it's an inherent we trust you, you're gonna
do the right thing, enjoy your night. When there's pushback,
when there's controversy, it obviously rises.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
To the league's off and hold on what's going on? Where?
Who went? And wear why?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And then I think the league says no, no, no, no, we
can't do that. But I don't think they go through
forty one nights in the NBA, eighty one in the MLB,
and go through every thirty teams thirty two depending on
the league. I think they say We're gonna trust you
to have fit knights that are you know, fairly tame
and fun and family friendly knight.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
They got chair leaders who are half naked at the
Hawks game. And now all of a sudden, you're sitting
here telling me those women can shake their booties during
halftime or during a timeout, but the have of a
Magic City night.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Come on that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Don't tell me that your kids are going to games
and they got women.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You don't know what.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Remember, you guys are all phony and fake and and
come on, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Most of the teams have cheerleaders with nothing on. Who
is that for? Those are for the kids too, Those
are for the men who come to NBA games you
want to be entertained. They're not.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Girls handing and comic books. No, they're shaking their booty.
And now, all of a sudden, because it's Magic City,
you're showing up saying.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This is the word thing in the warduse. We can't
believe it. What do we know what he's shaking?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You need?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I'm just saying game. You already have booties shaking at
the game. Listen, all right, I want to hear from
the people. Listen. You know there's levels to booty shaking.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
By the way, rob Let's talk, if we're gonna be real,
Magic City booty shaking is not the same. I was saying,
t I doing the halftime show, and if t I
is gonna do it, t Yo talk about it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
If t I gonna do it, t I's gonna do
it right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, he's gonna have them out there hoping. You know
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
He might be chancing.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't know, but when he was doing Magic City Night,
you know he was gonna have them out there and
them dancing.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Ain't gonna be the same as the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
SERI lead chance to say, yeah, Hucks is not gonna

Speaker 4 (18:51):
As a board member. She like fully knows Magic City,
like fully.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
What is so stop playing?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
She created the documentary Stars about them.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
That's thank you. No, no, no, the Hawks know what it is.
It's not the Hawks, it's the league approved. The Hawks
fully know what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Hey, uh Johnny in Virginia, you're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
What's up, Johnny?
Speaker 10 (19:15):
What a shame? What a shame? What a shame? I
mean Magic City was bringing a whole new meaning to
load management.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I mean, hey, yo, hey, hey, Johnny, Johnny, I thought
I thought it was going to be the first time
all season that players play. I'll never mind. I know
what Rob Rob.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
Yes, Fortunately, the coupon they used to buy our tickets
are non refundable. This is a shame. You can't do
this kind of stuff to the fans.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's terrible. That is terrible.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And they sold out and record fashion, she said. Nobody
is questioning that. The Saint Sean or at least sixteen fifteenth.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I appreciate you. I want to go, thank you, Johnny.
We know that Timid Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
She's a man of the cloth and uh sim has
probably rejoiced Heim.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You about to say the prayers? Are the rights available?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Right?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio, Chilly,
what's up?
Speaker 11 (20:12):
You know the words don't.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
You kill me? You know that scripted?
Speaker 10 (20:15):
No?
Speaker 11 (20:16):
But so so let me just I've been here in
Atlanta for almost twenty years. I'm not from here, but
I've been living and working here for for about almost
twenty years now. So here's the thing. The four biggest
sports attractions in pretty much in the metro area are
the UGA football team, then the Braids, then the Falcons,
then the Hawks, right, and that's just kind of the way
(20:37):
it goes. The Hawks are kind of on the bottom
of the coat and pole. But but realistically and not,
you know, we're just gonna keep it real, you know,
we brothers, We're gonna keep it real here, folks. Are
the ten that are more app to tend the Hawks
games or more app to people that you know, are
cool with Magic City. And so the Hawks kind of
catering to their fans that come to their games. That's
(20:59):
pretty much high close, and you know, I'm okay with it.
It's not you know, I don't believe and you know
I don't the ship club, and of course you know
how I feel about stuff like that, but I'm not
going to, uh, you know, if that's what people want
to do. You know, everybody has free will. But I
just think the Hawks were catering to their fans. I
(21:19):
think that's what it was about. It wasn't about that
they were trying to, you know, a fan to do anybody,
but the people that come to their game. So typically
the people, not everybody, but it's.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Match right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
They know that, they know their crowd diagram exactly. Kevin
in Culver City. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, keV? How are you all the time? All
the time, except when they're not. Things aren't going on.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
That's the.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Good the bad time. When we get what we want,
we don't get what we want. I got it.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
Hey, man, I am so mad about this.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
I'm so pissed about it.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
I'm so passionate about this.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
You know how many All Star games I've been going
to where I've seen strippers at the airport getting ready
to go.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
To the All Stars.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Ye, strippers at All Star Games. Strippering is part of basketball,
like the slam duck is. And you're talking about a
strip club off establishment outside of the arena. This is
a night to honor Magic City in the NBA for
years with Lions. It's not sex trafficking and Lou Cornett.
(22:28):
You can't tell a woman what to do with her body.
A woman in owner of the Hawks promoted this event,
So stop him. Stop with the hypocrisy, Adam Silver, and
go with spine. Strippers have been part of basketball since
the basketball NBA have started. It's a damn shame and
it's a great night to honor the hip hop black
culture of Atlanta. It's not the NFL, it's not the MLB,
(22:51):
it's the NBA, and Magic City is NBA Silver. I'm
stopping my lead pass subscription if they don't reverse this rule.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I hear you, Kevin. I love the passion, my man,
you whip me.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Ain't nobody saying he only doing that because the Lakers
don't look good right now? That's the only raising right
because it is no I love it, Kevin appreciate. You
don't be mad at him because he got it.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm not mad.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
He's passionate about it. It is hypocritical, it's terrible. It's
the worst. Like Adam Silver, I've already thinked. I'd say
he's the worst commissioner in sports.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Even he's even more so. What you're gonna say? What
is Rob gonna say to him when he see Adam Silver?
Five fingers say to the face?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
What is it? That's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Hi, I'm glad to be on The Odd Couple right now, slap.
All I know is you got an update coming up
right man, right now? And uh, Aaron Judge went, he
did this?
Speaker 3 (23:45):

Speaker 4 (24:03):
All right, well, well, I'm just making sure I check
on you. Seem a little agitated all day today because
maybe maybe Vinny B maybe asking Vinnie Botce Nor joining
us now California Post Senior NFL columnists, Vinnie, I.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Saw you at a super Bowl. They couldn't say what up?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You're working hard man, didn't get a chance off Viny Mitch, Yeah,
I didn't get a chance. I saw him in the
middle of the you know, the room radio road doing
his thing. What's up, man, how are you?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Vinnie?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I'm doing good to both of you guys. And it
is kind of funny at those events because we're all
just running around and we don't have time just to
say hello. But I saw both of you guys, so hello,
and it's great to talk to you, and uh and yeah,
what's hell all about? Magic? Come on, man, you can
have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Thank you. I mean, come on, man, it's so ridiculous,
I said.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But they got they got cheerleaders shaking booty at the
NBA game. Now all of a sudden they can't sell
all right, hoodies, Vinnie and some chicken wings.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's the end of the world.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
You be careful. You ain't gonna get no more. They're
gonna take the cheerleaders from you too.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Rob.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Then what you're gonna do? Crazy?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So oh Rob, Yeah, I'm just gonna say, so your raiders, Yeah,
the the Raiders, Well.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
What do we want to start? The Raiders?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
But they went defensive, man, they went, they went and
got a couple of really defensive studs. And I was
telling Rob Gi, who's somehow fan of the Raiders that
to me, I'm looking at it as they're saying, if
we could just get good on one side of the
ball and at least get something, Are am I crazy
of any Well?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I mean they started they started a day by, you know,
giving a record brick in contract to Tyler Winner. Yeah,
the the best center on the on the market. And
then they went and got Jalen Naylor, a wide receiver
they think has some really good football ahead of him.
He played behind Justin Jefferson and and Jordan Addison, uh
and and and they think he's going to fit into
(25:46):
this offense. Everything that the Raiders are doing, and we
make this perfectly clear to everybody, everything that they're doing,
including building up their defense, is is just call it
Project Fernando Mendoza. They are making sure that they are
going to support this young quarterback. Now, it doesn't guarantee success.
He's going to have to obviously translate to the NFL.
(26:07):
A lot of variables will play into whether or not
he's a successful quarterback in the NFL. But they're not
going to screw it up. They've seen too many teams,
including themselves probably over the years that have screwed up
that asset, you know, and and and that's not going
to be the reason in their minds anyway that they're
that they're going to mess mess it up, or that
he's not going to live up to his hype. And
(26:29):
they've got Tom Brady. And I know everyone wants to
talk about, well, who knows the quarterback position better than
Tom Brady? And you probably do have an argument, but
what he really knows is what a quarterback needs to
succeed around them. Coaching a good offensive line, weapons a
defense that you know doesn't doesn't mean that you're going
to have to go out and score thirty five points
a game to win. It's a supporting cast that supports quarterbacks.
(26:51):
And generally speaking, when we look at the quarterbacks, the
high draft pick quarterbacks that haven't succeeded, it's often on
the organization, not the player himself. And I think that
that's something that the Raiders are pretty determined not to
let happen. Doesn't mean that it's going to be a
success in Fernando, but they are building a great trying
to build a great infrastructure around him so that when
he stepped foot into their building, there there will be
(27:15):
a nice support system around him.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, why why should we buy into the Raiders and
Tom Brady and their front office when the disaster that
happened last year, Uh, kill Gelvin and I from Jump Street,
Pete Carroll, bad hire, Gino Smith. None of it made
any sense to me, some of the hires. They had
to fire all these people. Vinny it was bad.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
It was it was. And Pete Carroll was a bad
hire from Jump Street.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Yeah, there's no question about that. Rob. And if you
go back though, and uh and and and look at
the timeline, they wanted Ben Johnson's and they pushed that
as far as they possibly could. Tom Brady was enamored
with him when he was the Detroit Lions offense coordinator.
He wanted Tom Brady to be his head coach. And
obviously at the time Ben Johnson said who's your quarterback?
(28:03):
And they're like, well, we really don't have a quarterback yet.
He's like, okay, well I'd rather go with the quarterback
Kaylen Williams over at Chicago and obviously made a great
decision on his part. Why everything and then he pivoted
to Pete Burlew is a mistake and everyone knew that.
Probably a quarter into the season, nobody was working on
the same page it was. It was a huge mistake.
Tom Brady, John spy Tech. I think learn learn their
(28:25):
lesson on that. The difference now is they do have
a quarterback. They have access to the quarterback. They don't
have to trade for them, they don't have to give
fifty million dollars to go get them. All they got
to do is hand the card to the commissioner and
they have Fernando Mendoza. Again, that may mean that he's
going to be a success, but there's enough people that
I talked in the NFL who feel like he can
be a real good NFL quarterback with the right kind
(28:46):
of supporting casts around him. So that led them to
Clint Kubiak is not coach in the Raiders. If it's
Gardner Minshew, or if it's Gino Smith as a quarterback,
or any other guy that they've had here these last
few years, it's not it's going to be Daniel Menjoz.
That was an instant straw for Clint Kubiak, So that
in and of itself makes this a lot different than
(29:07):
last year. There were mistakes the Lord, but I think
they learned from from those. I'll never forget. It was
a Monday night game against the Cowboys, and it was
one of a few times that Tom Brady was actually
in the building because normally, obviously he's working on Sundays
on the box telercast, but he was actually in the
at Allegian Stadium. And I'll never forget. Somebody in the
front off and said, you know, Tom's going to see
this up close and personal tonight, and he's not going
(29:28):
to like what he sees. And sure enough, they got
boat based by the Cowboys. And I'm pretty sure Tom Brady,
whose name, image and likeness is all over this operation.
I mean, he is inexplicably tied to the Raiders. Their
success is going to be his success. Their failures will
be his failures. And I don't think he I know,
he didn't like what he saw that Monday night, and
(29:49):
I think he's determined to make sure that whatever mistakes
were made last year, they fixed them, and they learned
from them and they're better off for it.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Vinnie Bosnor on with the couple in the Magic City Monday,
of course, with the California Post. See your NFL columnist there.
Let me ask you about this. Max Trosby finally gone.
You know, obviously he wanted to be a rder for life,
love the team, but it was time for him to
move on.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
How big of a loss is this?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Is this something that and more so we know what
he is on the field, but maybe more off the
field in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Yeah, just a tone setter and the leader, the ring
leader of the heart. And so I've told maxus faith
the faith. There's two players that I've watched personally, whether
it's in OTA's training camp, practice, whatever, games that play
everything like it's the super Bowl and literally to the
point where they could take over practices and leave the
offense cutting and cutting him out and saying take it
(30:37):
easy a little bit so we could try to install
our offense. There's two players. One's Max Crosby, the other
is Aaron Donald. And I don't say that, you know lightly,
those both of those guys are just cut from the
same kind of cloth. And I think, you know, it's
a huge loss. But from Max's perspective, I think a
reasonable person would understand, like, look, I'm twenty nine years old.
I want to go play on the biggest stages that
(31:00):
that are out there, and I've signed off on multiple
you know, rebuilds and resets. There were game changes and
have one in winning season and one playoff appearance to
show for it. He deserved and has earned the right
to say, guys, can you get me someplace else where
I can go win? And by the way, the parting
gift that he got the Raiders was a thirty million
dollars extra in cash and cap space and two first
(31:21):
round picks, including the fourteenth overall in this year's draft,
to go along with their first So it was a
win win. It's tough to lose mix Crosby, but I
think that most Raider fans, especially today after they saw
what their team did in free agency, are pretty excited
about how these assets are now going to be used
and how they might be able to expedite the rebuild
(31:43):
around Quick, Kubiak and predentiment.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Doesn't one last question, do you have to rub off
his tattoo of the Raiders?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
We'll say that I think Max Max, you know, if
you've ever seen his house in Las Vegas and the
love that he had for the Raiders going to change.
He'll do his thing in Baltimore. But I think as
soon as it's all said and done, he'll be right
back to Las Vegas. And and there's a saying with
the Raiders. Once the Raider, always a Raider. He's gonna
be part of that family forever, and that's never gonna change.
(32:14):
So I don't think he's ever gonna You might put
you might get a raven tattoo in addition to it.
I'm he's not gonna do that, But I think you're
gonna keep the Raider.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
One, all right. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
That's what I appreciate you, Vinny Man, and appreciate it
as always good talk to you. That's why I could
join a new gig too. Mazeltof No doubt is what
he was saying. He's gone, but he was saying no
doubt to you, all right. Last call eight seven seven

big money maker. Okay, well turn our hands. I would
