Rob and Kelvin tell us if the Miami Dolphins will come to regret dumping Tua Tagovailoa (and his $99m cap hit) in favor of the unproven Malik Willis, explain why the Indianapolis Colts would be crazy to give Daniel Jones the kind of contract he’s reportedly looking for, and debate whether the Adam Silver and the NBA were being cowards for canceling the Atlanta Hawks’ Magic City Monday promotion.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Let's start here, Rob G.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
With free agency up and going, the Miami Dolphins decided
that they wanted to go and get a new quarterback.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, they're the.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Big movers and shakers of Day one of the NFL
free agency period, not just.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
For who they acquired, but who they let go.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Would to make it happen, the Miami Dolphins dumped to
a Tonguemi loa with the post June one designation, which
means that they will eat an NFL record setting ninety
nine million dollars dead cap over the next two seasons.
In a corresponding move, they are adding a new quarterback,
(01:06):
none other than former Packers backup Malik Willis. He is
their new QB one, getting a three year, sixty seven
and a half million dollar deal to be the starter
in Miami to out Malik Willis in and I just
have one response to them.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What you're talking about Willis? What? What? What?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
What of the Miami Dolphins? What are they doing? They
don't know what they're doing? Really, you want to break
down the stats. We talked about it last week. He
threw like twenty six passes downfield?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Was that what it was?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
A number like that? All bubbles, screens and dump offs.
That's all he does.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
He's one of those guys who looks good for one
or two or three games and you're not asking him
to do too much. You're paying him like you're really
where the Dolphin's going from here? Home, dinner, maybe a show.
Come on, man, this is crazy. And then to take
a ninety nine million dollar cap hit?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Is that what you're doing from Elik Willis?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You're gonna take that cap hit and then give him
Aleak Willis sixty eight million?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Which you talking about Willis? I mean, seriously, I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Somebody explained what the game plan is in Miami because
I don't get it. Really, they're going to the playoffs.
How you're worse, I don't care how bad tool is.
You're worse with Malik willis you are. You can't justify
it in any You're better off getting a rookie quarterback
(02:52):
making no money in playing that way. I'm dead serious.
He's a placeholder what you're not winning anything. This is
no disrespect to him. He is what he is.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
He's been around forever. He looks good for a couple
of games. Kelvin, he does. I don't get it. I
don't understand it. I like the pickup.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
If the issue is they are spending ninety nine million
dollar dead cap hit. And here's the difference the Presidents
was set with Russell Wilson with the Broncos did the
only difference is the Broncos looked at themselves as we
are a very good team.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And if you're Sean Payton to add, they said, we
have what we need.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Everything around us is set up to compete. I know
ownership my back. We're gonna take a big hit seventy
million whatever it was for Russell Wilson, but trust me,
we're going to be good. We're going to be They
believe great and they're a handful of plays away even
with sted them from being to the super Bowl. So
that's to me, Well, the challenge right right, And that's
the challenge where now teams can say, well, legal you know,
in the legal world, when the president's is set and
(03:54):
you say, hey, you can point to that. And so
to me, that's what the Dolphins just say, ooh, look
we can do that, and I don't think they can
because they're not built like that. You've lost players you
obviously Tyreek Hill's gone now too is gone. And what
I think they wanted to do rob was get rid
of the stench of that previous regime. McDaniel's, Tua Hill,
some other players as well, and I think, but that's
(04:14):
what I get it. But you can't to me, start
by now taking ninety nine million dollar cap hit and
also given a reasonable lot of money for a good quarterback,
but not what you need to do. If Pittsburgh did this,
we got some pieces around, we're right there. We just
made the postseason. We believe he can be that guy
to help us get thinking. Okay, I can I can
have this argument, this conversation with you. The Offins are
(04:35):
gonna be starting from pretty much ground zero, and now
you're already taking a massive cap hit to start to
build up. You've already lost some players throughout this free
agency process who've signed elsewhere. You got rid of guys
because you chose to so. To me, and if I'm
also eligue Willis, I was telling Rob g this is
that simply the best soffer is he just want to
be going like Florida and maybe no income state income taxes,
(04:59):
because didn't he want to go some ekee where else where?
To me, you know you're gonna be in a better
situation because you're leading still bills he was paying.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
They paid the bad team tax. He ain't crazy. I'm
just saying you're going through my stability. But that's my point.
Are you gonna get exposed where you had stability with
the Packers?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Right? You know the organization. They're well run.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Whether they win a bunch of Super Bowls or not lately,
but they're well run. They have good places around there.
They know what they're doing, and that allows you to
look good. He looked good. Now you're going where they're
gonna be looking at you like you are it. We
spend a lot of money on you, especially if you
include the dead cap hit. We need you to be
good to if not great, And I don't think he's
that guy, right, now so to me, and he put
(05:39):
a lot of pressure on himself. You get what I mean.
You go to a team that, let's say he was
gonna compete with CJ. Stroud or something. Well, you got
some pieces around you there, you got an amazing defense,
and all you gotta do is go do what you
were doing in Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You might be onto something. You're gonna have to be
the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And with the Dolphins, and maybe obviously believes in himself,
but I was blown away that they were willing to
spend that much money. But I think that just shows
how they believe that regime and how in aft it was,
and how much they need to move on from McDaniel's
sua Hill and anybody associated with that.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But I think it also tells you how desperate people
are for quarterbacks. Like we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Why are you waiting around, Why are you waiting around
for Aaron Rodgers? Why are you waiting around for Why
do you bring back this guy? Why are you doing that?
Because there aren't guys out there, so so a guy
who is a backup quarterback, all of a sudden it's
getting way more than because there's so few.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Quarterbacks out there. It's mind boggling. Look how many guys
are out of work? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They just dropped there. I mean, you got some other
guys who's still getting checks. Case Kingum still getting checks
in the NFL rog GI. But but there's just there's.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Chase Daniels still getting money. There's just there's just not
It's unbelievable. I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
The first thing I thought of when I heard about
Malik Willison's contract us.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Right with the remix version, that was one more touch
on what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
What when?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
When I was in college, No, Lie, we used to
wait for him to say that. We just and there
you can go about today. You knew you're gonna get
one episode, right, you knew you're gonna get oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
They just it was how they could work it into
the script, and you were like, is this is this?
Is it all right?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We're all about getting money, but dagg it is somebody
who might be overstepping it a little bit in Indianapolis.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I can't quite put my finger on why he feels
that way, but there's big movies and shakings in Indianapolis.
First off, get the housekeeping out of the way. That's
more reference. I think to rock Park gots mean to
set the table in case you guys missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Number one, what was that? Number one? That is racist?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Alec Piers Number one, Number one.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Their new number one wide receiver gets a four year,
one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal. Wasn't an extension technically,
it was a free agent move. So he is now
the highest paid receiver in NFL free agent history because
all the other guys before that were extensions.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Forty one catches. That's right.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Shout out to Alec Pierce getting all the money there, dude,
that's as I'm saying. By product of that, their previous
number one ride receiver, Michael Pittman Junior, was traded to
Pittsburgh because it helps them not only open up receptions
for peers, but number two, it opens up twenty four
million dollars in cap space so they could pay him.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All of which leads to one thing that what are
they going to do at quarterback?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
And according to Albert Breer Sports Illustrated, they'd like to
bring back Daniel Jones. In fact, the Colts offered him
a deal ranging between thirty and thirty five million dollars
this season. Of course, Dan Jones coming off a torn achilles.
Dan Jones said no, hell no. According to Albert Beer,
(10:15):
his CAP wants fifty million dollars a season to be
the Colts QB one moving forward.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Dude, I don't know if he thought he was Quincy Jones,
Indiana Jones, Roy Jones Junior, Mike Jones, Tom Jones, settled down,
Daniel Jones listen or Barnaby Jones. Barnaby Jones. He's about
to be somewhere else, is how I feel if I'm
the coach.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He played well in the first seven eight games, ten games,
then all of a sudden we started to see the
real one.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Did he forget? We saw where he had a few games.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Where you're like, all right down, you know, turnovers, a
bunch of turnovers and he's not looking great and gave
them that did save him, but he was playing poorly,
probably would have had a bad finish to the same.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Injury saved him.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Because you'll go, well, what was it was it the
last few games that we saw he didn't look good?
Or is it the first seven eight where he looked
really good? Was an MVP obviously early candidate, So to me,
settled down, you just got kicked off a couple of teams.
But prior to this, right, the Giants let you go,
The Vikings let you go, and they had a chance
(11:23):
to bring you in if they thought you were better
than JJ and they so now you started off good.
We talked about it for a few weeks. Is it
them or is it the schedule? Remember I wasn't buying
weren't you weren't buying them. My thing was they're beating
Obviously you can't help the schedule. And I thought they
had a really good offense what they which they did,
but he didn't look great. I don't mind bringing them back,
(11:44):
but fifty million. You remember the movie Rush Hour?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I know you do.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Rob g when he said, what do you think of
kidnapped Chelsea Clinton? The ransom was like, you know, ten
million dollars. He's like, y'all ain't kidnapp Chelsea Clinton, the
daughter of the Clintons. Hold on, Daniel Jones, You're not
Payton in this era.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You're not you know.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Joe Burrow and Josh Allen Lamar in the Gang. So
to me, pump the brakes. They're offering somewhere in the
thirty low thirties. I think that's fair and reasonable. It's
considering we only saw half of you half of a
season plus or minus.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Axon.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh, I would tell him to get lost and take
your bum leg with you. I'm dead serious. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
See? No, I'm not calling say how far are we
going with this? I'm just are you kidding? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Like like you didn't have that season you you started
out like you said, we could break it down and
show you.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I'll get that's right.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We'll break it down against the bad teams that they
played when they got fat on their schedule and then
when they started playing better teams.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Come on, Kelvin, you can't deny it. Turn it over. Yes,
he was playing poor Ley.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
And all that, and then and then all of a sudden, Rob,
do you got the breakdown?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It was not a pretty picture. I'm fifty one.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You know where he has the cohones, the goal, the audacity.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Hey man, don't speak, You don't eat it right. You
ask for whatever they want, Rob, shout out to Kawhi Leonard.
If they give it to you, that's their problem. That's
why they don't blame Kawhi. All right, you guys mentioned
it first.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want to.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
The first eight games of the season Indiana Jones seven
and one, thirteen touchdowns, three picks.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Was in MVP conversation, not.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Mine, but but you're in the odds, like lamar Mitchell's like,
we got to put up on the board. He's having
too good of a season. He gets nicked up a
little bit, decides to play through it, and defenses kind
of catch up to what they're doing the rest of
the way. One in four six touchdowns, five picks. The
one win was an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
(13:48):
Losses to the Steelers, the Chiefs, the Jags, and the Texans.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And how many fumbles though, like you don't have the
fumbles number.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I have the fumbles here. He lost three fumbles there
in that second bad stretch.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And look at the every team you pre lost fumbles
and five six touchdowns, eight turnover.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Every team you name, he lost you down that stretch
was a playoff team SAMs for the Chiefs, and they
were right there, you know, towards the obviously, but my point,
the higher caliber.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Team and the teams he beat, well, they got to
be fair though. He beat the Dolphins, beat the breaks
off of them, beat the Broncos by one point. Beat
the Titans, lost to the Rams, beat my Raiders by
thirty four points, got them, uh beat the Cardinals, beat
the Chargers, beat the Titans again.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
So look at that one team, the Chargers, and they
were slumping, you know, with all the offensive line issues
and the Broncos by one.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
But but that was it. It was. It really was
a little smoking mirrors.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And I'm not they were winning, but nobody people were that.
You had to see the whole movie, do you know
what I mean? The beginning was good, but the whole
movie you had to see. With Daniel Jones, the idea
that he could ask for fifty something that to me
absolutely deserves.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
He's steal the money for a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
He got that Giants money when they gave him the
Moneys to the Sakwan. I mean they like him because
somebody likes him because they keep giving him money. And
I can't figure it out because Kirk Cousin effects his
career numbers just don't want it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Kirk Cousins is, isn't he the highest paid quarterback of
all time right now? And obviously you know it changes
every two years, But like I believe Kirk cousin has
made crazy money crazy and that's Daniel Jones. Gonna look
at the end of his career, We're all gonna be like, wait,
how did Daniel Jones make two hundred and forty million dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And which which is?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You know what I mean, like, because he's gonna get
one more deal even after this one at some point,
even if it's not crazy, if it's just you know,
three years, fifty sixty million, But that's being a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Is there's not sixty four of them, right.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There's thirty two starting and everybody needs a backup and
there's not sixty four to walking around on earth. So
guys get money, even backups get crazy money. I told
you we did the money the math on a guy
like Chase Daniels.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean, like forty million dollars in his career. He
never even had to do anything.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So yeah, I'm flabbergast said he would ask for that much.
You think they maybe he's asking They want low thirties,
he wants low fifty. They meet and you know, at forty,
and that's kind of meeting him anywhere?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I'm not, are you No, I'm not that Steak House
of eight. This was a one night stand, and you
know what, it's a done deal. I'm not I'm not
entering that ever again.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That was one. That's it, the Daniel Jones one night stand.
That's all it was.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I mean, we we needed something that night and we
did what we had to do. But we are not
wifing boy said. He walked in I'm city looking okay.
He was at Denzel, I'm leaving here with something. Look
at Alix saying.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Ha ha ha ha. Good one.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
That was a good one though. Yeah, Daniel Jones got
to relax.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And I know his agents obviously Agent teen trying to
get the most, but he definitely has to relax.
Speaker 2 (16:54):

Speaker 3 (17:06):
You aren't even going. I could Rob g Alex.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I could only imagine Alex how Rob would feel if
he bought his ticket to this game, because you remember,
I can't go because of the jury duty.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I was gonna 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 Killjoy, the guy who doesn't care about
(17:42):
the Atlanta community and the institutions that make that city
what it is. My heart bleeds to all the people
who bought hoodies, who bought tickets, who were looking to
have lou Williams, lemon pepper wings, barbecue, honey barbecue, and
all that, who were ready for this. They didn't have
(18:04):
people who were like, I'm not buying tickets to that,
I'm not taking part of this chicanery and devildry or
whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
To call it. Instead read the room, Adam Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
The only people who didn't care about it or didn't
want it, didn't worn 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 (18:36):
This was an Atlanta event.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
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.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm sick to my stomach. If I could talk to
Adam Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Right now, I have a feeling what it would not
be pretty. Tell him, Alex, you will say what will
the five figures say to the faith? Think you would
slap Adam zoom right now. I can't believe how I've
set you are the best part. The best part is Elijah,
(19:16):
what the game on me? My partner is really sad?
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 ount it has been
two hours and five minutes of.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
You not being the same.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
First I wonder if it was your bad scripts mess,
your stomach up or something.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
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 wol You're so mad. You're mad for
the people who were even gonna go, yes, because liciously
through them.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
They so down.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I wanted to Now let's go a little further into this.
This is what I was telling you. I've been Atlanta
gazillion times. My sister lives in Atlanta. I love Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I actually, if I Laura, will I live another fifty years.
But if I never live in Atlanta, I'll be shock
because you couldn't have told twenty year ago Kelvin that
he would never live in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I know what Magic City is. I know what it
means to people. 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
(20:24):
pop companies and candy and chips and you know, Ford
and all this other stuff. And again my whole thing was,
I'm not shocked Atlanta wanted to do this.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I'm not shocked the Hawks wanted to do this and
went ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
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.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
They Atlanta Hawks say we're gonna have a Magic City night.
Because again, while you're okay and other people okay, and hey,
if that's what you want to do. More power to
you 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
(21:05):
NBA would be okay with with the linking and the
correlating the two and tying them together.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That's what shocked me. Rob Can I give you this? Yes,
my NBA CWPFS. You know what that stands for, Rob
G and Alex CWPFS.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Piece of ish ps.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Rob G, Come on, Alex CWPF CWPF.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Close one personal friends. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Rob G is the winner my NBA CWPF.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Uh Can I read you what I got? I want
to know? Horrible public relations by the NBA. The Cave.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Never should have got to the stage of this without
the league at least.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Signing off on something of this magnitude.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I don't believe that people are doing their own thing
and the NBA doesn't know anything going on.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
This Why I don't agree with this.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I was told on hold on and the number two
for my cw p L. 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 would have rolled DOT disagree.
But my ideas and that that's not the way a
(22:26):
league should run. E laite should have their own standards
and you should have.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To clear things through a league.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
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 (22:44):
If you wore a sheet, you got in for free.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Andy got fired off of that, didn't he Here's the
but you get but you get my point. It's like
somebody could have said, Andy, that ain't that ain't gonna
be at that point, I think you wanted the seference package.
You you knew what was coming there. What you get
My point to this was the n b A it
never should have reached this to where you feel like
(23:09):
you have to cave into anything. It's just that's why
I'm saying, and I've been saying to you, I'm not
so sure the NBA fully understood what was going on
from the jump, because but what is to fully understand
is to have wings to sell hoodies, and.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It is the association ROP I get. It's gonna be awesome.
It's working there having fun.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's illegal.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
It's a legal establishment, but it's illegal. It's a one
night there time 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 alam a Lamdmark in Atlanta,
Martin the King, I haven't dreamed it one day. I
(23:52):
can't believe again, I'm you're correct. The city of Atlanta.
It is totally different. That is one thousand percent. You
know what, fans down there in Atlanta could have easily
shown their displeasure by not buying tickets. I'm not going.
I'm not taking my family. I'm calling, I'm calling up
(24:13):
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. Reading the room. 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 people around, because they didn't want
to be involved, targetting, pushed back from Buck the season
(24:33):
ticket holders from massive corporate people. That's been millions and
millions and millions of dollars. What do they care about that?
That nothing I'm being tied to, like tie to an
illegal business, not illegal and they paid taxes. Gamling is
okay though if you were touching on a lot of
(24:56):
people don't believe in gambling. How many times on this show,
Oh Rob g we talked to Chris who nod into
the gambling thing because I mean not religious, but that
don't stop Quis from covering the NBA.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
NBA might not also have a militia knight where technically
you your Second Amendment allows you to have aar rifles
be a militia.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
You just put up a statue of a guy who
who stopped black people from going to schools 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. So I'm not arguing what is legal.
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,
(25:37):
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 (25:51):
I know you have a ball.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I know Dang and there Dagna 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. But when the NBA may want
to say and say, can we just not be talking?
(26:14):
But this is the scrip club, I get that.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
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 that the league
(26:37):
didn't know.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I actually don't know even the Lakers if it's something
when they put on when they when they take the logo.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's like even the NFL. If a player has a
deal with something. Sometimes they wear the uniform because the
league is signed off and when the league doesn't get
any money, guess what they don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
What I'm saying is for I don't know for sure,
and Rob G I might shoot off a couple of
text during the break to 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 leagues,
like I think they're entrusting you to have your night,
like the Dodgers do Family Faith Night, then they'll do
(27:15):
this night. 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 to the
leagu's off hold on what's going on? Where who went
and wear why? And then I think the league says no, no, no, no,
we can't do that. But I don't think they go
(27:35):
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 knights.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
They got cheerleaders who are half naked at the Hawks game.
And now all of a sudden, you sitting here telling
me those women could shake their booties during halftime, during
the time out, but to have a Magic City night.
Come on that. Don't tell me that your kids are
going to games and they got women they know you
(28:10):
don't know what you guys are all phony and fake
and and come on, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Most of the teams have cheerleaders with nothing on. Who
is that for?
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Those are for the kids too, Those are for the
men who come to NBA games. You want to be entertained.
They're sending 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 (28:41):
This is the word thing in the world. We can't
believe it. What do we know what you need?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm just saying, game, you already have booty shaking at
the game, all right?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I want to hear from the people. Listen, you know,
there's levels to booty shaking. By the way, rob Let's talk,
if we're gonna be real magic, any 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. If t I don't do it,
t I's gonna do it right. Yeah, He's gonna have
them out there hoping. You know what I'm talking about.
(29:15):
He might be canceled. I don't know, but when he
was doing Magic City Night, you know he was gonna
have them out there and them dancing ain't gonna be
the same as the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
SERI lead chance say yeah, Hucks is not gonna be.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
The same as Magic City dancing dancing, negget, you know it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
There's levels to the shaken.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Whose side are you on? The inevitability side? I told
you this is gonna happen to kill Joy, Adam Silver
or Magic City.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And the right to uh have a night at the
Hawks game in Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, baby, those are singles. This's called making it rain,
Hey outside, no baby dollar bill with no dollars. All
the bills come from the sky because the dudes threw
a bunch of money in the air.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Let's start here, Rob G.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
With free agency up and going, the Miami Dolphins decided
that they wanted to go and get a new quarterback.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, they're the.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Big movers and shakers of Day one of the NFL
free agency period, not just.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
For who they acquired, but who they let go.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Would to make it happen, the Miami Dolphins dumped to
a Tonguemi loa with the post June one designation, which
means that they will eat an NFL record setting ninety
nine million dollars dead cap over the next two seasons.
In a corresponding move, they are adding a new quarterback,
(01:06):
none other than former Packers backup Malik Willis. He is
their new QB one, getting a three year, sixty seven
and a half million dollar deal to be the starter
in Miami to out Malik Willis in and I just
have one response to them.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What you're talking about Willis? What? What? What?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
What of the Miami Dolphins? What are they doing? They
don't know what they're doing? Really, you want to break
down the stats. We talked about it last week. He
threw like twenty six passes downfield?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Was that what it was?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
A number like that? All bubbles, screens and dump offs.
That's all he does.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
He's one of those guys who looks good for one
or two or three games and you're not asking him
to do too much. You're paying him like you're really
where the Dolphin's going from here? Home, dinner, maybe a show.
Come on, man, this is crazy. And then to take
a ninety nine million dollar cap hit?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Is that what you're doing from Elik Willis?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You're gonna take that cap hit and then give him
Aleak Willis sixty eight million?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Which you talking about Willis? I mean, seriously, I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Somebody explained what the game plan is in Miami because
I don't get it. Really, they're going to the playoffs.
How you're worse, I don't care how bad tool is.
You're worse with Malik willis you are. You can't justify
it in any You're better off getting a rookie quarterback
(02:52):
making no money in playing that way. I'm dead serious.
He's a placeholder what you're not winning anything. This is
no disrespect to him. He is what he is.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
He's been around forever. He looks good for a couple
of games. Kelvin, he does. I don't get it. I
don't understand it. I like the pickup.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
If the issue is they are spending ninety nine million
dollar dead cap hit. And here's the difference the Presidents
was set with Russell Wilson with the Broncos did the
only difference is the Broncos looked at themselves as we
are a very good team.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And if you're Sean Payton to add, they said, we
have what we need.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Everything around us is set up to compete. I know
ownership my back. We're gonna take a big hit seventy
million whatever it was for Russell Wilson, but trust me,
we're going to be good. We're going to be They
believe great and they're a handful of plays away even
with sted them from being to the super Bowl. So
that's to me, Well, the challenge right right, And that's
the challenge where now teams can say, well, legal you know,
in the legal world, when the president's is set and
(03:54):
you say, hey, you can point to that. And so
to me, that's what the Dolphins just say, ooh, look
we can do that, and I don't think they can
because they're not built like that. You've lost players you
obviously Tyreek Hill's gone now too is gone. And what
I think they wanted to do rob was get rid
of the stench of that previous regime. McDaniel's, Tua Hill,
some other players as well, and I think, but that's
(04:14):
what I get it. But you can't to me, start
by now taking ninety nine million dollar cap hit and
also given a reasonable lot of money for a good quarterback,
but not what you need to do. If Pittsburgh did this,
we got some pieces around, we're right there. We just
made the postseason. We believe he can be that guy
to help us get thinking. Okay, I can I can
have this argument, this conversation with you. The Offins are
(04:35):
gonna be starting from pretty much ground zero, and now
you're already taking a massive cap hit to start to
build up. You've already lost some players throughout this free
agency process who've signed elsewhere. You got rid of guys
because you chose to so. To me, and if I'm
also eligue Willis, I was telling Rob g this is
that simply the best soffer is he just want to
be going like Florida and maybe no income state income taxes,
(04:59):
because didn't he want to go some ekee where else where?
To me, you know you're gonna be in a better
situation because you're leading still bills he was paying.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
They paid the bad team tax. He ain't crazy. I'm
just saying you're going through my stability. But that's my point.
Are you gonna get exposed where you had stability with
the Packers?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Right? You know the organization. They're well run.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Whether they win a bunch of Super Bowls or not lately,
but they're well run. They have good places around there.
They know what they're doing, and that allows you to
look good. He looked good. Now you're going where they're
gonna be looking at you like you are it. We
spend a lot of money on you, especially if you
include the dead cap hit. We need you to be
good to if not great, And I don't think he's
that guy, right, now so to me, and he put
(05:39):
a lot of pressure on himself. You get what I mean.
You go to a team that, let's say he was
gonna compete with CJ. Stroud or something. Well, you got
some pieces around you there, you got an amazing defense,
and all you gotta do is go do what you
were doing in Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You might be onto something. You're gonna have to be
the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And with the Dolphins, and maybe obviously believes in himself,
but I was blown away that they were willing to
spend that much money. But I think that just shows
how they believe that regime and how in aft it was,
and how much they need to move on from McDaniel's
sua Hill and anybody associated with that.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But I think it also tells you how desperate people
are for quarterbacks. Like we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Why are you waiting around, Why are you waiting around
for Aaron Rodgers? Why are you waiting around for Why
do you bring back this guy? Why are you doing that?
Because there aren't guys out there, so so a guy
who is a backup quarterback, all of a sudden it's
getting way more than because there's so few.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Quarterbacks out there. It's mind boggling. Look how many guys
are out of work? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They just dropped there. I mean, you got some other
guys who's still getting checks. Case Kingum still getting checks
in the NFL rog GI. But but there's just there's.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Chase Daniels still getting money. There's just there's just not
It's unbelievable. I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
The first thing I thought of when I heard about
Malik Willison's contract us.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Right with the remix version, that was one more touch
on what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
What when?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
When I was in college, No, Lie, we used to
wait for him to say that. We just and there
you can go about today. You knew you're gonna get
one episode, right, you knew you're gonna get oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:21):

the script, and you were like, is this is this?

Listen.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We're all about getting money, but dagg it is somebody
who might be overstepping it a little bit in Indianapolis.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I can't quite put my finger on why he feels
that way, but there's big movies and shakings in Indianapolis.
First off, get the housekeeping out of the way. That's
more reference. I think to rock Park gots mean to
set the table in case you guys missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Number one, what was that? Number one? That is racist?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Alec Piers Number one, Number one.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Their new number one wide receiver gets a four year,
one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal. Wasn't an extension technically,
it was a free agent move. So he is now
the highest paid receiver in NFL free agent history because
all the other guys before that were extensions.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Forty one catches. That's right.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Shout out to Alec Pierce getting all the money there, dude,
that's as I'm saying. By product of that, their previous
number one ride receiver, Michael Pittman Junior, was traded to
Pittsburgh because it helps them not only open up receptions
for peers, but number two, it opens up twenty four
million dollars in cap space so they could pay him.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All of which leads to one thing that what are
they going to do at quarterback?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
And according to Albert Breer Sports Illustrated, they'd like to
bring back Daniel Jones. In fact, the Colts offered him
a deal ranging between thirty and thirty five million dollars
this season. Of course, Dan Jones coming off a torn achilles.
Dan Jones said no, hell no. According to Albert Beer,
(10:15):
his CAP wants fifty million dollars a season to be
the Colts QB one moving forward.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Dude, I don't know if he thought he was Quincy Jones,
Indiana Jones, Roy Jones Junior, Mike Jones, Tom Jones, settled down,
Daniel Jones listen or Barnaby Jones. Barnaby Jones. He's about
to be somewhere else, is how I feel if I'm
the coach.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He played well in the first seven eight games, ten games,
then all of a sudden we started to see the
real one.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Did he forget? We saw where he had a few games.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Where you're like, all right down, you know, turnovers, a
bunch of turnovers and he's not looking great and gave
them that did save him, but he was playing poorly,
probably would have had a bad finish to the same.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Injury saved him.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Because you'll go, well, what was it was it the
last few games that we saw he didn't look good?
Or is it the first seven eight where he looked
really good? Was an MVP obviously early candidate, So to me,
settled down, you just got kicked off a couple of teams.
But prior to this, right, the Giants let you go,
The Vikings let you go, and they had a chance
(11:23):
to bring you in if they thought you were better
than JJ and they so now you started off good.
We talked about it for a few weeks. Is it
them or is it the schedule? Remember I wasn't buying
weren't you weren't buying them. My thing was they're beating
Obviously you can't help the schedule. And I thought they
had a really good offense what they which they did,
but he didn't look great. I don't mind bringing them back,
(11:44):
but fifty million. You remember the movie Rush Hour?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I know you do.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Rob g when he said, what do you think of
kidnapped Chelsea Clinton? The ransom was like, you know, ten
million dollars. He's like, y'all ain't kidnapp Chelsea Clinton, the
daughter of the Clintons. Hold on, Daniel Jones, You're not
Payton in this era.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
You're not you know.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Joe Burrow and Josh Allen Lamar in the Gang. So
to me, pump the brakes. They're offering somewhere in the
thirty low thirties. I think that's fair and reasonable. It's
considering we only saw half of you half of a
season plus or minus.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Axon.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh, I would tell him to get lost and take
your bum leg with you. I'm dead serious. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
See? No, I'm not calling say how far are we
going with this? I'm just are you kidding? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Like like you didn't have that season you you started
out like you said, we could break it down and
show you.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I'll get that's right.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We'll break it down against the bad teams that they
played when they got fat on their schedule and then
when they started playing better teams.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Come on, Kelvin, you can't deny it. Turn it over. Yes,
he was playing poor Ley.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
And all that, and then and then all of a sudden, Rob,
do you got the breakdown?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It was not a pretty picture. I'm fifty one.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You know where he has the cohones, the goal, the audacity.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Hey man, don't speak, You don't eat it right. You
ask for whatever they want, Rob, shout out to Kawhi Leonard.
If they give it to you, that's their problem. That's
why they don't blame Kawhi. All right, you guys mentioned
it first.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want to.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
The first eight games of the season Indiana Jones seven
and one, thirteen touchdowns, three picks.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Was in MVP conversation, not.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Mine, but but you're in the odds, like lamar Mitchell's like,
we got to put up on the board. He's having
too good of a season. He gets nicked up a
little bit, decides to play through it, and defenses kind
of catch up to what they're doing the rest of
the way. One in four six touchdowns, five picks. The
one win was an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
(13:48):
Losses to the Steelers, the Chiefs, the Jags, and the Texans.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And how many fumbles though, like you don't have the
fumbles number.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I have the fumbles here. He lost three fumbles there
in that second bad stretch.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And look at the every team you pre lost fumbles
and five six touchdowns, eight turnover.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Every team you name, he lost you down that stretch
was a playoff team SAMs for the Chiefs, and they
were right there, you know, towards the obviously, but my point,
the higher caliber.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Team and the teams he beat, well, they got to
be fair though. He beat the Dolphins, beat the breaks
off of them, beat the Broncos by one point. Beat
the Titans, lost to the Rams, beat my Raiders by
thirty four points, got them, uh beat the Cardinals, beat
the Chargers, beat the Titans again.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
So look at that one team, the Chargers, and they
were slumping, you know, with all the offensive line issues
and the Broncos by one.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
But but that was it. It was. It really was
a little smoking mirrors.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And I'm not they were winning, but nobody people were that.
You had to see the whole movie, do you know
what I mean? The beginning was good, but the whole
movie you had to see. With Daniel Jones, the idea
that he could ask for fifty something that to me
absolutely deserves.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
He's steal the money for a long time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
He got that Giants money when they gave him the
Moneys to the Sakwan. I mean they like him because
somebody likes him because they keep giving him money. And
I can't figure it out because Kirk Cousin effects his
career numbers just don't want it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Kirk Cousins is, isn't he the highest paid quarterback of
all time right now? And obviously you know it changes
every two years, But like I believe Kirk cousin has
made crazy money crazy and that's Daniel Jones. Gonna look
at the end of his career, We're all gonna be like, wait,
how did Daniel Jones make two hundred and forty million dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And which which is?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You know what I mean, like, because he's gonna get
one more deal even after this one at some point,
even if it's not crazy, if it's just you know,
three years, fifty sixty million, But that's being a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Is there's not sixty four of them, right.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There's thirty two starting and everybody needs a backup and
there's not sixty four to walking around on earth. So
guys get money, even backups get crazy money. I told
you we did the money the math on a guy
like Chase Daniels.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean, like forty million dollars in his career. He
never even had to do anything.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So yeah, I'm flabbergast said he would ask for that much.
You think they maybe he's asking They want low thirties,
he wants low fifty. They meet and you know, at forty,
and that's kind of meeting him anywhere?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I'm not, are you No, I'm not that Steak House
of eight. This was a one night stand, and you
know what, it's a done deal. I'm not I'm not
entering that ever again.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That was one. That's it, the Daniel Jones one night stand.
That's all it was.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I mean, we we needed something that night and we
did what we had to do. But we are not
wifing boy said. He walked in I'm city looking okay.
He was at Denzel, I'm leaving here with something. Look
at Alix saying.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Ha ha ha ha. Good one.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
That was a good one though. Yeah, Daniel Jones got
to relax.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And I know his agents obviously Agent teen trying to
get the most, but he definitely has to relax.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
You aren't even going. I could Rob g Alex.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I could only imagine Alex how Rob would feel if
he bought his ticket to this game, because you remember,
I can't go because of the jury duty.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I was gonna 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 Killjoy, the guy who doesn't care about
(17:42):
the Atlanta community and the institutions that make that city
what it is. My heart bleeds to all the people
who bought hoodies, who bought tickets, who were looking to
have lou Williams, lemon pepper wings, barbecue, honey barbecue, and
all that, who were ready for this. They didn't have
(18:04):
people who were like, I'm not buying tickets to that,
I'm not taking part of this chicanery and devildry or
whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
To call it. Instead read the room, Adam Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
The only people who didn't care about it or didn't
want it, didn't worn 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 (18:36):
This was an Atlanta event.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
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.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm sick to my stomach. If I could talk to
Adam Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Right now, I have a feeling what it would not
be pretty. Tell him, Alex, you will say what will
the five figures say to the faith? Think you would
slap Adam zoom right now. I can't believe how I've
set you are the best part. The best part is Elijah,
(19:16):
what the game on me? My partner is really sad?
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 ount it has been
two hours and five minutes of.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
You not being the same.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
First I wonder if it was your bad scripts mess,
your stomach up or something.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
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 wol You're so mad. You're mad for
the people who were even gonna go, yes, because liciously
through them.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
They so down.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I wanted to Now let's go a little further into this.
This is what I was telling you. I've been Atlanta
gazillion times. My sister lives in Atlanta. I love Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I actually, if I Laura, will I live another fifty years.
But if I never live in Atlanta, I'll be shock
because you couldn't have told twenty year ago Kelvin that
he would never live in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I know what Magic City is. I know what it
means to people. 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
(20:24):
pop companies and candy and chips and you know, Ford
and all this other stuff. And again my whole thing was,
I'm not shocked Atlanta wanted to do this.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I'm not shocked the Hawks wanted to do this and
went ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
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.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
They Atlanta Hawks say we're gonna have a Magic City night.
Because again, while you're okay and other people okay, and hey,
if that's what you want to do. More power to
you 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
(21:05):
NBA would be okay with with the linking and the
correlating the two and tying them together.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That's what shocked me. Rob Can I give you this? Yes,
my NBA CWPFS. You know what that stands for, Rob
G and Alex CWPFS.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Piece of ish ps.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Rob G, Come on, Alex CWPF CWPF.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Close one personal friends. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Rob G is the winner my NBA CWPF.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Uh Can I read you what I got? I want
to know? Horrible public relations by the NBA. The Cave.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Never should have got to the stage of this without
the league at least.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Signing off on something of this magnitude.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I don't believe that people are doing their own thing
and the NBA doesn't know anything going on.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
This Why I don't agree with this.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I was told on hold on and the number two
for my cw p L. 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 would have rolled DOT disagree.
But my ideas and that that's not the way a
(22:26):
league should run. E laite should have their own standards
and you should have.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
To clear things through a league.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
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 (22:44):
If you wore a sheet, you got in for free.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Andy got fired off of that, didn't he Here's the
but you get but you get my point. It's like
somebody could have said, Andy, that ain't that ain't gonna
be at that point, I think you wanted the seference package.
You you knew what was coming there. What you get
My point to this was the n b A it
never should have reached this to where you feel like
(23:09):
you have to cave into anything. It's just that's why
I'm saying, and I've been saying to you, I'm not
so sure the NBA fully understood what was going on
from the jump, because but what is to fully understand
is to have wings to sell hoodies, and.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It is the association ROP I get. It's gonna be awesome.
It's working there having fun.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's illegal.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
It's a legal establishment, but it's illegal. It's a one
night there time 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 alam a Lamdmark in Atlanta,
Martin the King, I haven't dreamed it one day. I
(23:52):
can't believe again, I'm you're correct. The city of Atlanta.
It is totally different. That is one thousand percent. You
know what, fans down there in Atlanta could have easily
shown their displeasure by not buying tickets. I'm not going.
I'm not taking my family. I'm calling, I'm calling up
(24:13):
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. Reading the room. 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 people around, because they didn't want
to be involved, targetting, pushed back from Buck the season
(24:33):
ticket holders from massive corporate people. That's been millions and
millions and millions of dollars. What do they care about that?
That nothing I'm being tied to, like tie to an
illegal business, not illegal and they paid taxes. Gamling is
okay though if you were touching on a lot of
(24:56):
people don't believe in gambling. How many times on this show,
Oh Rob g we talked to Chris who nod into
the gambling thing because I mean not religious, but that
don't stop Quis from covering the NBA.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
NBA might not also have a militia knight where technically
you your Second Amendment allows you to have aar rifles
be a militia.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
You just put up a statue of a guy who
who stopped black people from going to schools 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. So I'm not arguing what is legal.
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,
(25:37):
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 (25:51):
I know you have a ball.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I know Dang and there Dagna 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. But when the NBA may want
to say and say, can we just not be talking?
(26:14):
But this is the scrip club, I get that.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
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 that the league
(26:37):
didn't know.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I actually don't know even the Lakers if it's something
when they put on when they when they take the logo.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's like even the NFL. If a player has a
deal with something. Sometimes they wear the uniform because the
league is signed off and when the league doesn't get
any money, guess what they don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
What I'm saying is for I don't know for sure,
and Rob G I might shoot off a couple of
text during the break to 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 leagues,
like I think they're entrusting you to have your night,
like the Dodgers do Family Faith Night, then they'll do
(27:15):
this night. 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 to the
leagu's off hold on what's going on? Where who went
and wear why? And then I think the league says no, no, no, no,
we can't do that. But I don't think they go
(27:35):
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 knights.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
They got cheerleaders who are half naked at the Hawks game.
And now all of a sudden, you sitting here telling
me those women could shake their booties during halftime, during
the time out, but to have a Magic City night.
Come on that. Don't tell me that your kids are
going to games and they got women they know you
(28:10):
don't know what you guys are all phony and fake
and and come on, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Most of the teams have cheerleaders with nothing on. Who
is that for?
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Those are for the kids too, Those are for the
men who come to NBA games. You want to be entertained.
They're sending 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 (28:41):
This is the word thing in the world. We can't
believe it. What do we know what you need?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm just saying, game, you already have booty shaking at
the game, all right?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I want to hear from the people. Listen, you know,
there's levels to booty shaking. By the way, rob Let's talk,
if we're gonna be real magic, any 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. If t I don't do it,
t I's gonna do it right. Yeah, He's gonna have
them out there hoping. You know what I'm talking about.
(29:15):
He might be canceled. I don't know, but when he
was doing Magic City Night, you know he was gonna
have them out there and them dancing ain't gonna be
the same as the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
SERI lead chance say yeah, Hucks is not gonna be.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
The same as Magic City dancing dancing, negget, you know it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
There's levels to the shaken.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Whose side are you on? The inevitability side? I told
you this is gonna happen to kill Joy, Adam Silver
or Magic City.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And the right to uh have a night at the
Hawks game in Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, baby, those are singles. This's called making it rain,
Hey outside, no baby dollar bill with no dollars. All
the bills come from the sky because the dudes threw
a bunch of money in the air.
