Are the Super Bowl champs the reigning Super Bowl champion
Kansas City Chiefs really looking to acquire the Andre Hopkins?

(00:30):

end up suspending Alvin Kamara for his Vegas brew ha ha?
And what's your takeaway from the latest Kyler Murray decree

(00:50):

(02:03):
Next week it is on like Donkey Kong.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
The beginning of training camp.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
We continue our in depth team coverage of every washed up, unsigned,
unwanted NFL player. There are two main main players here,
Dalvin Cook, who says he loves.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Free agency, he's really enjoying it. And then there's the
other guy.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
So if you've not been following along that we're gonna
talk about the other guy. We have learned that DeAndre
Hopkins is waiting around la la la la la la la,
waiting around for who Tansas City, the ragining the reigning
Super Bowl champions to give him a contract now before

(02:55):
that happens. In order to get to that point, DeAndre
Hopkins needs the Chiefs to give Jones keeping up with
the Joneses the defensive tackle his own extension, which in
theory theoretically would then allow the Chiefs to finagle with
the salary cap to get enough money to pursue DeAndre Hoppins.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
So, Hopkins, we.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Know he has standing offers to play for the New
England Patriots and join Bill Belichick or Tennessee and hang
out with Derreck Henry. But at this point he is
not doing any of those things as far as signing
with those teams. So let us discuss the question. Are
the Chiefs really lurking in the shadows for DeAndre Hopkins?

(03:39):
So I've got coastguard, tongue lashing and fashion ee stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, one more bell, one more bel k, three belts
we need.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's a three bell monologue. You know it's big as
we jockey for positions. So to kick off here, we
would not use.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
The word lurking or in the shadows. I would say
the Chiefs are meandering? Is the word?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
How he's They're a meandering There's not a stampede here.
They're moving like a three toed sloth. And DeAndre Hopkins
to say he is not a priority.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Is in understated right Hopkins.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
If they get him, they get him, and I gotta
tell you he shouldn't be a priority. DeAndre Hopkins has
shown signs that he is about to fall into the
grand Can you know he's not there yet? You know
they're not there yet. But you look at some of
the numbers and you're like, well, is this about where
the sinkhole starts opening up and he falls in to

(04:44):
the pit of doom?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Is that about to happen?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
And there's a phrase that we use quite a bit,
do not let a falling star fall on you. And
at this point, DeAndre Hopkins is looking for help from
the post guard to bail his ass out. I'm talking
about sending in one of those helicopters, you know, the
ones that drop down that crane like hoist thing to

(05:08):
pull Hopkins out of the sea of despair for his
football career so he can think straight and get out
of the pickle that he's in. Now, why is that
DeAndre Hopkins is unhappy and he's uninterested in the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
And the Titans. How do we know that? We know
that because he hasn't.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Signed with either of those teams, even though he was
in the thick of things. With both of those teams.
He continues to play the waiting game. He is twiddling
his thumbs right now. And you look at the gambling market. Now,
the gambling market does not say Kansas City. It does not,
and it's pretty good indicator as we bounce things off

(05:51):
the walls. It's a pretty good indicator here of what's
gonna happen. So the gambling market says the favorite, and
it's a new favorite from earlier in this week, the
Tennessee Titans. That's right, the Tennessee Titans are now favorites
to bring in DeAndre Hopkins after just kind of hanging

(06:12):
in the background a couple of days ago. Now, the
odds of Tennessee landing Hopkins moved from plus five hundred
back on Tuesday to minus three hundred last week checked
as of a few hours before the show. That according
to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook, the bookmakers there, they

(06:34):
shifted more towards the field hours later than the Titans
odds dropped to minus one twenty five, followed by the
Patriots and the Chiefs. So somebody must know something or
think they know something that they've familiar familiarized themselves with.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
What's gonna happen. No other team other than.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
The Titans, Patriots and Chiefs has better than played US
one thousand odds to acquire the wide receiver late of
the Texans and the Cardiffs. Now furthermo're moving on from
DeAndre Hopkins. I hope he doesn't sign because we'll have
nothing else to talking about. But we do have Alvin Kamara.
Alvin Kamara.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
If you thought Alvin Kamara was out of the woods,
you are wrong.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
We are hearing now that the NFL, at this point,
based on feelers that have gone out, they are still
expected to suspend the Saints running back even after a
play deal has been reached. Does the NFL end up
actually doing it? Do they actually suspend Alvin Kamara the Saints?

(07:43):
So I am going yes, I am going yes.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
On this one.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
But it's gonna be small. It's gonna be small. It'll
mostly be a tongue lashing. Get called into the principal's office.
He embarrassed the NFL at what was one of their
dual events, the final Pro Bowl.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Ever, now it's a I don't know what he is,
like an Olympic event, the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's like the Pro Bowl games it's not a game
because the players they got too scared of playing football,
so they stopped.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Playing football and they turned chicken.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And now they just do weird events, is what they do.
But anyway to the last Pro Bowl, where nobody tackled
that day. Either in Vegas right the night before, he
got into a dust up the famous fight there, and
he was charged with a bunch of crimes. He played
no contest though to the misdemeanor charge of breach of
peace for his role in that bloody fight at the casino,

(08:40):
the Casino Hodown. The problem is that he did humiliate
the NFL because they had all their corporate partners who
were in Vegas, and the police waited until the Pro
Bowl ended to arrest DeAndre Hopkins at that point to say, hey,
you're in some trouble here, and he and his posse

(09:01):
of hoodlums were initially facing misdemeanor charges for a conspiracy
to commit battery and a felony charge of battery with
substantial bodily harm because they this guy looked like he
had got into a fight with a wood chipper. Okay,
he looked terrible, but thanks to a wad of cash
and good lawyers. Alvin Kamar gets a mosquito bite. He

(09:23):
apologized he's got to complete thirty hours of community service
and pay over one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
In medical expenses.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
We also think there's some attorney fees in there as well,
which is chump change for someone who's earned thirty two
million dollars in their career. Party shot a couple of
closing thoughts here in Arizona. Kyler Murray has informed the
media that last season was necessary, you know, and the

(09:53):
Cardinals went four and thirteen. He says some good will
come out of that miserable season last season.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
So what is your takeaway from.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
The latest Kyler Murray decree to state sponsored Arizona Cardinals website?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Whatever that is.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So, this is what's known as gibberish. You could also
call it sauce, not spicy. It's apple sauce. And Kyler
Murray is in the house.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
He's in the dog house.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
He is coach killer, coach killer, his bad attitude, his
lack of performance, injured, overrated, hobgoblin, he's toxic, he's all
those things, a little bit of all those things.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
If Arizona is bad to the bone, and I mean bad,
like the flies kind of buzzing around there.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, So if Arizona is as bad as they're supposed
to be, Kyler Murray will be excommunicated after this upcoming season.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I don't even know he's going to play that many games.
He's coming off a knee injury.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The reason he will be gone is because Arizona not
only has their own pick, they also have the Texans
pick burning up a whole their pocket. So the chances
are at one of those picks, if not both, they
might have to combine them. We'll get you the number
one overall pick, which is Caleb Williams of usc and
he's the prize, he's the jewel in NFL scouts eyes,

(11:16):
and he's going to be the number overall pick for
the Cardinals or whoever has the number one pick.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now, finally, what did you think, let's move on one
more point here? What did you think Kyler Murray, by the.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Way, would be just traded to Atlanta or Washington or
somewhere like that.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
They'll get rid of him and start new. That's what
the Cardinals do.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
So what did you think as we move on from
that turn the page, what do you think of the
Bucks rolling out the classic Buco Bruce retro uniforms that
they will play the NFL allowing this a couple of
years ago ago.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Of course, it takes multiple years to get the ball rolling.
So there it was.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
It was all over the internet. I woke up, I
saw it and I was like, oh, yeah, I recognize that.
Yeah yeah, Because I'm a I guess I'm old. So
my answer is, what did you think? I thought, well,
that's in vogue. Everything old is new again, everything is
old is new again. Those creamsicle uniforms are so ugly.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
How ugly are they?

Speaker 2 (12:15):
They're so ugly that they are now fashion neis To approved. Yes,
fashion nist To approved. And the Buccaneers were a morbid
franchise when they played in those uniforms. It's appropriate they're
bringing them back because without Tom Brady, they're projected to
be a morbid franchise again.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
But they're good.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
They can go down the catwalk, strut, do a little
pirouette there, they win the beauty pageant. They win the
beauty pageant there, and they'll go out and they'll play
just like those old school Bucks teams.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
And they will get absolutely smoked.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Are they gonna move back to the old Sombrero or are
they gonna move back to that they're old that's what
they used to call their old stadium there and Tama, No,
they're not, probably not all right.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Our friend writes in from the OC.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
She tells us that Alex Cobb, the Cobb Salad guy,
his family invented the Cobb salad Ax Cobb of the Giants.
Once Sho Hao Tani traded, he says, he's coming to
San Francisco. Yeah, well, it is true that Shoe Hao
Tani will be coming to San Francisco every season, because

(15:29):
just about every season, because every team in baseball now
plays every team, So every other year Otani will be
coming to San Francisco. I tell that's gonna go. Chip
and the Cues writes in. He says eight plus on
the Malay monologue. As far as Hopkins situation goes, I
think Homer Simpson said it best when he said the
waiting game sucks, so Hopkins should play hungry hungry Hippos.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Uh, this guy writes in and says, your anti player
bias is showing again. Hopkins will be just fine not
having to be the number one receiver under Andy Reid
and getting his ring. I know, yes, everyone is fine.
No one ever ages, no one ever gets old, nobody sucks.
Everyone's great forever. That's just the way it is. It's
just virtual reality. There is no aging. No one goes

(16:18):
down the ladder of success the other way.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
It does not happen. It does not.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, and I look at that Chiefs Wide Receiver corps
and I'm looking around here and none of these guys
are worth their salt. But it doesn't matter because they
got the quarterback. Marquez Valdez. Scantling is the number one,
Kadarius Tony number two. Sky Moore is the number three receiver.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
He is not great player. But DeAndre Hopkins is a
guy that's got a name. But how much game does
he have? I am skeptical. I am skeptical. Let's go
to the phones and will say hello.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
To Blind Scott, who's on the North end of Boston
and was not in the Talent Show this year.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Blind Scott was not part of it. Hello, blind Scott.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Yeah, there's intense rehurtsal that requires and I just wasn't
up for it this year. You know, I was gonna
do my mouth trumpets and stuff like that. And my
sound effects. I just wasn't prepared. I dropped the ball.
But you just mentioned Alex Cobb. My mom grew up
with Alex Kob's mother. We're good friends and family, you
know what I mean. So that was pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
He just brought that up.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
That made me feel really good about myself, like I'm
really in the know. I was just yesterday I fell down,
head burst down my stairs over all these boxes. You know.
You know, it's a real tragedy around here that people
don't take the boxes. And then I attacked all the boxes.
I kicked them and I punched them and I stomped
them into the ground and everything. So we over got
those packages. Didn't get them in good order, you know

(17:48):
what I'm saying. But we had Blair call an hour
one tonight and he just participated in the Special Olympics
and we all poured our hearts out to him, which
is sad. Special Olympics, you know fundraiser which was just
from Special Olympics, and he never gave us any updates.
And you know, I feel like he maybe just took
my money and just took it to the bar or whatever.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Up there in you know, what did you know now
you can bet on the special Olympics and one of
the off yet looks you can bet on it. We
got to find out where Blair is competing so we
can bet on him.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Yeah, I think it's a it's an international one. You
can better. I didn't even realize they have a blind
blind long jump too.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
I thought they just had the bicycle for Why.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
How does blind lung jump work?

Speaker 6 (18:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
I mean I couldn't see what was going on, but
they definitely had it. There's a guy doing it. I
don't know if it was Maybe it was even a
pole ball too. I'm not really sure. You know, imagine that.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
I remember you years ago you did blind baseball, right,
you know you would call us up and give us
updates on blind baseball.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
I got an update on blind baseball too. Like me
and the coach had a fallen out. I just didn't
like the guy. Now they started a new team, so
there might be a chance for me to resurrect my
blind baseball career where it's The Blind Baseball World Series
will be at the end of the month in summer place.
The only thing I don't like.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
About baseball is it's way too hot.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Like, who wants to stand out there in the goofy
uniforms in one hundred degrees heat? You know what I mean,
it's like the stupidest thing ever.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
He should be well, Scott, I just remember for you
and Blind Emmett and Vision and all are blind listeners.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
That are they're part of the show The Sea Bass
in Memphis. I watched.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
It's an old it's kind of an old documentary. Now,
I'd not seen it before. You ever heard of the
documentary called delt You ever heard of that?

Speaker 6 (19:32):
No? No?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, it's about this guy, Richard Turner. You know who
Richard Turner is. No, Yeah, he's the world's greatest cardon magician.
And the guy's completely blind. It's wild and it's kind
of like it's kind of like your story blind Blind Scott,
because he had his vision when he was a little
kid and then he kind of lost it.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Because he had he might have had the same thing
you had.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Actually, yeah, I have star Guards and Red Night is
putting a to that must be degenitive. That's another good one.
It's called going Blind. It's kind of like me. But
they want you five bucks for it, so I don't
this is free.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I was on one of the streaming services for free,
but actually it's called delt d Alt Delpe.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
I could watch that stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
But if you've seen one blind story, you've seen them all.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
You know, you know, no, No, this guy's different though.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
This guy kind of reminds me of you because he
like he would like do things like he wasn't blind,
Like you live your life like you're not blind, Scott.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Right, yeah, yeah, exactly, like I get the fights with
people on the street.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Exactly what kind of blind guy's gonna get in a
fight with people? You you're blind, Scott, that's what you
do here. You're a rough house.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
You're my family. They find me really difficult, so I'm
not sure if they don't talk to me because blinder,
I'm just difficult. But I you know, I've never listened
to what anybody said. I've always done whatever I felt
like doing, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I respect that.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Listen, it's very difficult what happened to you, and I
respect that you've lived your life that way. But I
thought this guy had this story. His story kind of
reminded me of your story a little bit.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
So yeah, that's pretty good. He should do you gotta
go see this guy. You said his name is Dick Turanner.
That's a pretty good name too, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
And he goes, he goes by Richard. I think he's
semi retired at this point. But yeah, he's amazing. And
the fact that he doesn't he's blind, that's wild, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I wonder he's a guy. I wonder if he's a
guy dog.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
He's it here.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
That's pretty important as your guy dog.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Well you'll learn about that if you watch I Got
I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
But thank you, you've you've bowguarded enough of the time.
Let's say hello to Angry Bill. Hello, Angry Bill. Get
the dump button ready in the Sunshine State.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
See, then the people have spoken road trip with me.
That was the decision. What would they do on a
road trip? View Ben make cookies and put sprinkles on him.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yes, you get your sawt off shotgun and you go
rob some banks. It'll be amazing.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
And Eddie, we could jump into the fountain in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Eddie's hey, how much money did you?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeahcause we did a story earlier Angry Bill that that
guy Chief's aholic. According to court papers, this guy was
able to get eight hundred thousand dollars robbing banks over.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
A thousand dollars. You did not get that much in
your bank.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
Rubber, he's the man, he's the man. Let me tell
you that, right wolf. Hey, how much coffee money did
you collect in that sound? Eddie? Tell us you don't
want to tell us No money, no money?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Okay, Wait, why didn't you answer the question?

Speaker 7 (22:30):
I want to know how much money you got from
your from your robbery.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Twenty three thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's a decent amount. Yeah, for one bank robbery.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
What's his name? Is a great guy?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Would you do it again? Would you rob a bank again?

Speaker 6 (22:44):
No? No, no, I'll for that stuff. I'm seventy one
years old.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Now, how old were you when you robbed the bank?

Speaker 6 (22:51):
How? What?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
How old were you when you decided to rob the bank?

Speaker 6 (22:54):
I was in my late forties? Hey, forty five?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh you just woke up one day? He said, you
know what, let me go for it.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
Wait, have we like dug into this before?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I can remember a little bit. He talked about checks.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Were you were you armed or did you do the
whole like finger gun in the sweatshirt things.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
I'd go into this bank all the time, and I
had a business I was doing, and I would put
large deposits in twenty thousand and fifteen thousand, and the
lady to tell her the bank got to know me.
So I went in with a small check. It was
only like twelve hundred dollars, but I altered it to
twenty three thousand dollars, so I deposited it. So she

(23:38):
deposited this twenty three thousand dollars although I altered the check.
Next day, I went in and I cashed a check
for that large amount, because that was my common thing
to do, deposit money large money, would draw large monies.
But at the time things were getting a little tough,
so I was the next day I would drove the
large amount of twenty three thousand dollars and she gave
me the money.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
And so how long did it take them to figure
out that that was not your money?

Speaker 6 (24:03):
About twenty four hours.

Speaker 7 (24:07):
So this is really more of like a catch me
if you can type situation.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
Yeah, here's what Now, here's the best part of the story.
I went on a casino boat that day, okay, and
I figured I'm going to run the money up and
then just redeposit the twenty three thousand, No problem, because
I was down on a casino boat and won, you know,
forty or fifty thousand dollars at a time, so I
was going to redeposit the money and there'd been no problem.
They might smack me on the wrists a little bit,

(24:34):
but they had their money back, no problem. Well I
didn't win that day.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
You lost all the buddy. That's just like this guy,
this other guy. It must be a thing. You rob
a banks.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
You figure it's not your money, so you can just gamble.
That guy Casey or whatever his name is, Casey Wolf,
the Wolf.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Guy, chief Aholic. He gambled the money too to get
Internet cloud. So yeah, there you go. All right a,
all right, I gotta go. What Well, thanks for the story.
It was a good story.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
But well so, I mean that's like they kind of
they do that to clean the money, right, Like what.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Do you mean gamble, yeah, laundering it? Yeah yeah yeah no.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
But the guy chief Ahollic was just doing it because
he was like, hey, I don't care, it's not he's
like he wanted to pretend like he was a playboy,
like he had aunts of money and his people like
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
And the Matrix.

You don't know Ryan, but I know Ryan. He's a
big support of the show. On the big jab there
he calls, He listens the whole thing, he contributes. He
also happens to have insider information. He's a made man

(26:18):
with Blair and may I see Blair now growing a beard?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I had not see.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Blair with a beard, but it said, Ryan tells us
that Blair got one gold to silver, one bronze.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's a lot of metals that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's a nice metal collection there from the Special Olympics
and gad Terror writes and says Benny. I think there
are enough blind listeners to make a Malard Militia Beep
baseball team.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Heck I would join.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It, he says too, especially if I could accidentally hit
blind Scott with a pitch.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Would would we have to be blindfolded for that?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Well, we'd be the coach, Eddy, Oh, I mean my
both be coaching. It would be wonderful.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
I get one of those whistles, you know, and the
short shorts like those old school coaches.

back in the day.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
No it's not.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
I lied, it's not hockey season, but for Eddie it
is hockey season. So let's puck the world right now
with Eddie.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Garci all right.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Ben some moves made in the offseason involving some signings
of players and an occasional trade. That was the big
story in the NHL this week, where the Detroit Red
Wings made a deal to acquire forward Alex Tobrinkt from
the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Dominic Kubleik, a prospect
the first round picking a fourth round pick in next
year's draft now to bring it. Scored forty one goals

(27:57):
in two of his six NHL seasons. He is a
native of Farmington Hills, Michigan. He grew up a Red
Wings fan. So it's going back home to play for
the the Red Wings there and they hope he can
help enough.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
To remember when the Red Wings were good.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, I would say so, okay, not quite the heyday,
but yeah, he's a young guy, but he can still
remember that. So we're still waiting on some other big
names like Vladimir Tarasenko. There's rumors of him being heading
to Ottawa. Patrick Camps still out there. I guess they
would pay him the most money is probably a good
reason why. But there's still some pretty big names out

(28:31):
there like Patrice Bergeron and David Crachie. You don't know
if they're going to come back and play for Boston
next year. Jonavan Tave's future Hall of Famer for the Blackhawks.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Like all those guys, they play there forever, we'll see
even know they leave they go back.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
La King Sun captain and j Coopetard to a two
year extension where fourteen million is now under contract through
the twenty twenty five to twenty sixth season. Just finished
his seventeenth season in the NHL, all with the Kings,
who was their leading scorer this past season at the
age of thirty five. New York Rangers agree on a
two years engine with de vinceman KeAndre Miller. He gets
seven point seventy five million. The San Jose Sharks signed

(29:05):
former Red Wings first round pick Phillip z Adina to
a one year, one point one million dollar contract. He's
twenty two years old, was the sixth overall pick in
twenty eighteen. It did not work out in Detroit, and
he actually basically turned down five million dollars from the
Red Wings to have his contract terminated so he could
move on and try and resurrect his career with another team.

(29:25):
So he basically left about four million dollars on the
table to try and go someplace else to see if
he get turned things around.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I like to let every NHL team knowady, I will
not leave four million dollars on the table.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
I was pretty sure that that was going to be
the case.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, not a dimeback. No, not a dimeback.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
And Lane Vigno announced his retirement after nineteen seasons as
NHLA coach. Sixty two year old and is the all
time winnings coach in Canucks history. He won the Coach
of the Year award back in two thousand and sixty seven.
Twice got teams to the Stanley Cup Final, won in Vancouver,
won in New York with the Rangers, but did not
win the Stanley Cup. He says he's done, but well,
we'll see. I would imagine if somebody offered him a

(30:02):
pretty good job, he'd probably probably come out of retirement.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Right, Boxers, they don't really retire as long as they
have a pulse.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I can come back.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Two times Stanley Cup champ Patrick Hornquist announced his retirement
after fifteen seasons. That's right. I was a member of
two Stanley Cup winning teams. In Pittsburgh, had a couple
of concussions this year and sat out the rest of
the year. Decided that's going to be it for me.
And veteran goalie Thomas Greis retired after fourteen NHL seasons,
three hundred and sixty three games played for the Blues,

(30:29):
Red Wings, Islanders, Penguins, Coyotes, Sharks. He was the first
German born goalie to play a one hundred games in
the NHL. And you know, Ben, as a radio veteran,
you need to always assume that the microphone is hot.
There was an embarrassing moment that the Philadelphia Fliers had
to apologize for this week. They had a conference call
with members of the media involving player Garnet Hathaway.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
This did not evolve Jonesy did it.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
It didn't. Well I did, because he ended up apologizing
for what happened. But so they had this conference call
going on. People in the media were, you know, on there,
answering questions or asking questions, and well, the guy running
the meeting that worked for the Flyers, he didn't mute
his microphone apparently, and a female reporter asked a question
and he responded by saying, how many times? Is she

(31:17):
gonna ask this effing question? Everybody heard it. It's out
there on the internet if you'd like to hear it
as well. But uh yeah, that didn't go over well,
and the Flyers and Keith Jones specifically issued an apology
for that hot mic mic not muted in the conference call.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
I feel like that could have gone worse, could have
could always be worse.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Scoop the naked gun, that old movie when they went
he went to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Remember, yes, that's yeah, you got its. Gotta mute that
mike when you're on the conference calls, and that is
your Puck the World Report.

Speaker 2 (31:50):

jokes weed Man. I guess it's back. He said his
phone is now fixed somehow. So if you want to
send in some weed Man jokes, whatever you want, send
those jokes in. Put jokes in the headlines, and send

(32:29):
those jokes in care of Benmahlorshow at gmail dot com.
That's Benmaalorshow at gmail dot com. Put jokes in the headline,
so I know to I get a lot of email
during the show and after the show, and every day
people email me tell me they suck, that I suck
and the show sucks. And then some people like the
show and they give me feedback. So anyway, just so

(32:50):
I can filter through the email, just put jokes on
the headlines. And as far as the voting, there is
still time. It'll be up all day to day if
you want to vote and help decide the vote of
the people on the Mallard Pull the Great Mallard Paloosa
and the final vote for the Talent Show Pulse of
the People. And it is so close. We are literally
separated by just a couple dozen votes. The top three,

(33:14):
the top three now the final four our Matt in
Nashville played the nose trumpet in the Mallard Palooza Ohio.
Wow with that Rivening Malar song was so good, well done,
well produced.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Got a lot of the names of the people on
the show. Callers. It was great.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Pam and Seattle, she's never called the show before. She
had the viola and it was wild. It was so good, amazing.
We thought it was a recording, but she did a
live though baseball tune for the All Star Game and
the Boston Burper a show legend. You can help sway
the vote if you want to vote based on geography.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Our friends listening to us on the sports up there
can vote for me.

You want anybody any of these four people on my
Twitter pages pinned to the very top there at Ben
