Speaker 1 (01:38):
So we're back at it again. Survived the weekend and
the rare and appropriate, the rare and appropriate malad monologue
about golf. That is our lead. And we're going to
start out in the woods of Georgia because that is
where the big event of the weekend took place, and
(01:59):
we're going there. Why I watched it, so rather than
just waste my time, I'm going to talk about it
because I watched the site of the eighty ninth edition
of The Masters. They don't have fans, no, no, no,
they're no fans there. They have patrons at the Masters,
the elites of the elites, hanging out schmoozing with one another.
(02:22):
There was a record amount of pollen in the air everywhere,
which meant the sinus issues were popping up right and left. Now.
I don't know if you saw this or not, if
you watched any over the weekend. I usually consume very
little of The Masters early on. Part of that is
because it's not the easiestly the easiest thing to watch.
You've a lot of streaming things and whatnot. But by
(02:45):
the weekend normally I'm more more engaged to it, depending
on other things I have going on. But I watched,
and so we watched so you would not have to
the events over the weekend. And it's our act of
public service, it's our way to give back. And it
was actually a doozy. It was not a event that
(03:05):
sucked it. It wasn't terrible. I assume you know by
now that Roy McElroy won the Masters in a playoff
over Justin Rose there at the Augusta tournament there in Georgia.
The course, the beautiful Course, completes the career Grand Slam,
his eleventh attempt, eleven years after I guess this is
(03:29):
what twelve at tempth eleven years after the last major championship.
So it's been it's been a minute over a decade
since Roy McElroy won. And then he fell down dramatically
with raw emotion, fell down to the ground and he
had his head tucked between his arms. There was water
(03:49):
flowing from his eyes. Oh so dramatic, the drama of
human sport, athletic competition. Now McElroy becomes the sixth player
to claim the career Grand Slam. And not only does
Roy McElroy get the green jacket, which most people don't
really want a green jacket, but there you do. You
ever seen it wear a green jacket in public? I've
(04:11):
never seen anyone wear a green jacket public anyway. At
the Augusta tournament's big deal. So he got the green jacket.
He's got that and jumbo size check, one of those
cartoon checks for four point two million. Four point two million,
that's a jumbo size check right there. The runner up,
Justin Rose, the loser, first loser, he only got two
(04:35):
point two million, so after taxes, that's like point two
after taxes, and twenty one million was dished out from
the tournament. They're not allowed to talk about that though
on the broadcast because they don't like to admit that
it's all about the money. They think it's about something else.
But that is the second major in a row where
(04:57):
mister Rose as finished second. So runner up doesn't get
it done. So let us discuss the events here. Do
you find how Roy McElroy got her done and won
the green jacket? Significant? How he had the lead going
to the back nine, gagged it and then ended up
forcing the extra playoff and then ends up winning it.
(05:20):
So I've got steering wheel, bamboo and brand ambassador, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna give you a headache unless we don't. We're gonna
try not to give you a headache. So a do
you find it? The question again, do you find how
Roy McElroy won the Master's significant Well, yes, right now
(05:42):
in the moment, one hundred percent. And the way these
things work, over the course of time, you're not gonna
remember what happened. You're gonna remember he won it. You're
not gonna remember exactly the events of the day. But
right now, in this moment, yes, we are remembering, and
that is certainly a big part of the story. So
I'm nodding my head yes to answer the question.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It will fade over time. We only have so much
space in our little brains there to remember all this nonsense.
But McElroy was absolutely in control, and it was to
the point where I was like, oh, this is gonna
be boring. Now, this is gonna be boring. But then
I realized it's golf, and there are no bigger chok
artists than golfers. The last day of a major, it
(06:25):
is a tradition, unlike any other golfers gagging on the
back nine, and there we were set up yet again. Originally,
after nine holes the broadcast, the tone was like, this
was a coronation for Roy McElroy. But in the back
of my head I was like, well, you know, he's
had some big gags and the old slip on the
(06:47):
banana peel. So for sixty eight of the seventy two
holes over the weekend, McElroy was a dominant figure at
Augusta National and in those sixty eight holes, Roy McElroy
was nineteen under par. Of course, the problem is you
play seventy two the other four holes, don't ask the
(07:10):
sixty eight holes where he was nineteen under. That's one
stroke off of Dustin Johnson's Master's record of twenty under.
But that was during the COVID where there were no
patrons at the event and all that stuff, so the
conditions were different. But we were waiting for that trapdoor
to open up. We were hoping that trapdoor would open up,
(07:34):
and sure enough it did, although it didn't open up
all the way into the pit of vipers because Roy
McElroy ended up. If you've seen we only really talk
about the majors here, but there's been many missed putts,
there have been many collapses. And on cue right around
the midway point there, Roy McElroy sat, he moved over
(07:55):
the seat, he moved over to the driver's seat, and
he got behind the steering wheel, and he decided to
drive the drive the struggle bus. And boy did he
do it. Almost completely into a ditch, almost completely new dish.
Driving the struggle bus, Roy blew a two shot lead
in two holes at the beginning, but then he got
a four shot lead, and on the back nine in
(08:18):
a matter if my mouth or math is correct here,
in the matter of not one, not two, but three holes,
that that was all gonzo. So he f that up
right away, and much like an elevator, up and down,
up and down, up and down. And during the weekend.
Now I mentioned sixty eight of the seventy two holes
McElroy on his way to completing the career Grand Slam,
(08:40):
was amazing. Nineteen hundred five. The other four holes, not one,
not two, not three, four double bogies. Now, even if
you're not a golf person, you know that's not good, right,
double bogie not good? Two of them on Thursday, but
then he had none on Friday, none on Saturday, but
he made sure to have not one but two on Sunday.
And in the history of this event, the only only
(09:00):
person to win with even three double bogies in the
tournament was the Walrs Craig Stadler years ago, and so
that means Roy McElroy had the most terrible shots in
four different holes double bogey, double bogie, double bogie, double
bogie and end up winning the tournament there so he went. Also,
(09:22):
he tied for the largest first round deficit, another reason
not to watch the first round of the Masters. But
down seven shots and he comes back and wins. That
is tied for the largest rally. Back now page two.
As for the mainstream, the elitist golf media and their narrative,
(09:43):
if you've been paying attention, it's essentially, after eleven years,
eleven years without a major, what does this victory say
about Roy McElroy And they are laying it on thick.
I am talking full bubble bath, full bubble bath for
Rory McElroy and they're just over the top. Now listen,
(10:06):
it was it a case of resilience, sure, but McElroy
kind of liked the bamboo. He had the phrase of
the bamboo there. The bamboo bends in the wind, and
McElroy certainly bent in the wind. He did not break.
And it's not a case where he just flat out
(10:28):
was at the top of Suck Mountain for the last
decade plus. There's this misnomer that McElroy was just god awful,
just got awful, and then he came back and he won,
and it's like this great redemption story. And it was
his seventeenth start at Augusta, and the nerds have pointed
(10:51):
out that that is the second most to get the
first win at Augusta. Sergio Garcia had gone nineteen can
sayecutive Masters, I think I think it was consecutive nineteen
Masters starts without without winning before he had. But the
eleven year gap now that is tied for the longest
span between major wins. However, again he was not trash.
(11:15):
It wasn't garbage over that stretch. He won nineteen times
on the PGA Tour over those ten years, so he
was averaging it was eleven years, but he was averaging
about two about two wins per year, and there were
a bunch of other high finishes as well. He was
(11:35):
only outside of the the NERD Golf rankings the World
Golf rankings one year out of those eleven years, so
the most part, he was still among the top players
in the sport, one of the top ten in the sport,
and he had six of those years where he was
in the top three. So again he was just like,
he's hanging around. You make a lot of money at golf,
(11:57):
not winning, but just kind of hanging out in the
top ten. You make a lot of money doing that.
They pay a lot of money. Rich people love golf.
It's a rich man sport. I went to go buy
golf clubs. I was seen about buying golf clubs last year,
and I went to a golf shop and I saw
how much they wanted for new golf clubs. I walked
right out. I said, I'm done. I don't like golf
that much. I'm gonna golf like once every six months
(12:19):
at the most. I ain't putting that kind of cash
down on something I'm gonna do once every six months.
But it's a rich man elitist game, and that's why
they have so much money. You can finish in the
top ten and you're good to go and we know
he won a bunch of tournaments McElroy. However, Roy McElroy,
nobody pays attention to the waste management open other than
(12:41):
when the hoodlams go there just get hammered and cause debauchery.
But other than that, it's like you're not watching these
other tournaments. Only the hart O Golf people are watching.
That's the issue. The rank and file watch the majors
and that's it, and that's the problem with the sport. Now,
last word, So Jim name Nants is part of the
story here. Jim Nance, who is synonymous with this event.
(13:06):
He has embraced it. He is into it, He's all
about it. So Jim Nance made a couple of costs.
There was a lot of silence after Roy McElroy won
the green jacket. I think we have some audio here
that we're gonna play though, but his line after McElroy
got very emotional. Nance is being called out for this.
(13:27):
Take a listen to the call on this. Tosses his putter,
troubles to the sacred side. Yeah, there's a lot of ambia. Nos.
I don't know if you could hear that. Play it again.
Us here tosses his putter troubles to the sacred side.
So jim Nantz, if you couldn't hear that because there's
(13:47):
a lot of ambient crowd noise there, Nance said he
I think he said, he clutches his putter and then
he stumbles to the sacred sawd was what he said?
That last part, that is the key part of this
jim Nantz describing the emotion of Roy McElroy and that
he stumbled to the sacred side. So how do you
(14:09):
rank this call? How do you rank this call? So
I've thought about, as some people very upset, how can
you say that it's just a stupid golf course and
all that stuff. I would argue, if you hire Jim
Nance to call a golf tournament or any sporting event,
this is what you're gonna get, right, That's who jim
Nantz is. That is the essence of Jim Nance. That
if you're an officiaato of his work, this is what
(14:31):
you want. That's the kind of bull crap you want
from a guy like Jim Nance. You know you're gonna
get it. Jim Nantz is like the brand ambassador of Cheetos. Right,
it ain't easy being cheesy, but that's Jim nantz Man.
The guy's just a cheese ball. He's always been a
cheese ball. And I've known a lot of guys like
(14:51):
that dude in the broadcasting business. There's a lot of
hard old dudes like Jim Nance. Andy Nance is much
more successful than I'll ever be, so good for him.
But he's a heart. Oh I mean, come on, he's
he's like a puffy guy too. In the booth right,
he's like at that dangerously cheesy I think was their
slogan back in the day for the cheese from him Nance.
(15:13):
And that's just the way it is. Listen for him.
I get it. This is the mecca, this is what
he's known for the Masters and and all that. And
so if you want cheese, boom check, if you want
extra surrupy, check, Nance will make it extra syrupy for you.
And it is amusing though, when you you juxtaposed the
(15:34):
event this weekend and how we were in here on
Friday before the weekend and the story remember the story
from round one you talk about going full circle at
the eighty ninth Masters. So the Masters began on Thursday,
and some no name golfer who had gone to Arizona
(15:55):
State treated the Sacred sod as Jim Nance liked to
call it, there as an outhouse by taking a leak
at Ray's Creek. And then it ends with the golfer
on his hands and knees there on the again sacred
sword of Augusta. So they have certainly gone full circle.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Later this out we will have mallardly third Degree, but
we begin with this. The curtain has come down on
the regular season of the NBA. There will be no
more regular season NBA games for this year anyway. It's
all over there the finale. Everyone playing on a Sunday,
(16:45):
And while we were watching the golf, we flipped over
to the basketball. There's only one game really worth watching
on Sunday in the NBA, and I was in San Francisco.
That was the game. You win, you get a secured
playoff spot, lose, and you gotta go to that fugase
playing tournament and that involved Golden State playing the People's team.
(17:08):
And I know he saw it was on National National TV.
Don't know if you're watching it or not. Maybe not,
but the Beard a renaissance. James Harden hitting consecutive three
point baskets in overtime, a domination situation, the kind of
performance that if Harden does that in an NBA Finals game,
(17:30):
they write books about it. He was that dominant, made
a parafoul, shots, scored on a also got a basket
on a Jimmy Butler goaltending call. He had thirty nine points.
James Harden and tennis sist. That was the Roquets version
of James Harden in that game. Kawhi Leonard, the Toronto
Raptor San Antonio Spur Vintage for the People's team, Leonard
(17:51):
had thirty three points. The Clippers get it done, they win,
and they win in overtime, and they're the fifth seed
in the West Conference. They get to play those lightweights
from Denver in their first playoff series, and the Warriors
on the wrong end of things, which means they are
not guaranteed of a play in spot. And the better story, though,
(18:14):
is in the losing locker room. As much as I
would like to sit here and wax loquacious about the
Clippers and how great James Harden was and all that.
Nobody wants to hear that. You want to hear the
sad sack Golden State Warriors, that's what you want to
hear about. You had Steph Curry make a basket, strutting right,
he was strutting down the court there. Oh man, we
got these guys and then they had to play the
(18:36):
rest of the game. He didn't have anybody and he
had nothing, nothing. So the Warriors who melted under pressure.
They had the lead late, had a four point lead,
and they melted down the stretch. Curry had thirty six
although he did really nothing the first three quarters. Jimmy
Butler thirty points and nine assists, and that's it. The
(19:00):
regular season is over. So let us discuss how big
a setback, How big a setback is this loss for
Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green and the Warriors
as they now have to go into that playing tournament.
So I've got Fiddle pac Man and Forrest Gump and
(19:20):
we will combine all of these things together and we're
going to make some sour dough bread, the San Francisco treat,
which is well just sour, just very sour there the worst.
So this is a myth buster situation, right, this is
a myth buster situation. That is my number one the
(19:42):
aura of the Warriors when they got Jimmy Butler and
they had a great record to finish the regular season,
but they didn't get Jimmy Butler to still end up
in the play in tournament. That was not the mission.
When they got Jimmy Butler and they had everything set up.
Golden State had everything you could possibly want. So this
is a massive disappointment. All right, this is a massive disappointment.
(20:05):
Everything was there. You had home cooking checked, you had
that Warriors were favored. They were three and a half
point favorites in the gambling line. When you avoid the
playing tournament, lose and you're in it. And Golden State
had a twelve point lead in the first half, and
there was that point where it was teetering where if
the Warriors go second level, go turbo time, they go
(20:27):
up by twenty five points games over. They didn't have it.
They did not have the ability to go turbo time,
and they were not turbotask the tastic in that situation.
And they did have the early body blow body blow
by Golden State. So they came as all right there
by twelve had a body blow, and then the Clippers
respawned and the Warriors, because they were they had home cooking,
(20:51):
they fiddled around with their food. You don't fiddle around
with your food. They did, and the Clippers kept chipping
away their little right hook. Here a left hook. And
in overtime the Beard said, here's an uppercut right to
the chin. Boom, right to the chin. Sure enough, and
so Harden had twelve of the Clippers thirteen points in overtime.
(21:13):
He was electric. And Jimmy Butler at the end there
he looked like a pogo stick. He was hopping up
and down there at the end of the game. Draymond
Green blew a buddy. I'm sure we'll hear about that
in this podcast unless we don't. But yeah, missed a
layup right there. I could have made that. He missed it.
Nobody around. He missed a layup. And you combine this
(21:38):
loss and also a couple of days back, the Warriors
lost to the San Antonio Spurs at home, a dog
food Spurs team. And there's not a lot of razzle
dash like any razzle dazz of the Warriors had from
winning a bunch of games when he got Jimmy Brother.
You lose to the Spurs at home, and you've got
a win, and you're in the playoffs, losing your play
(22:00):
and you can't beat the Clippers. That's a bad job
by Golden State. Now, you can spin it any way
you want, but that's not why they got Jimmy Butler
and all that stuff. And there's no time for a
penny party because right back added another thing that's ridiculous.
In the NBA, you play eighty two games. It's an
eighty two game playing tournament to decide who makes the playoffs.
(22:21):
And then you add a couple extra games just in
case somebody gets hurt, because you want more content. And
so the NBA Playing Tournament will begin on Tuesday. The
seven seed Memphis will travel to Northern California to take
on the Warriors in San Francisco. There and that's that.
Now turning the page, we've got former NBA player Patrick
(22:44):
Beverly who has entered the chat. BEV the glue guy
for the Clippers. Now, he said prior to the Clipper
Warrior game that the winner of that game on a
lazy Sunday afternoon, the winner of that matchup, he was
winning the championship? So how does that sound to you?
(23:05):
That's what he said it. I didn't say it. He
said it. Patrick Beverly said it all right, So certainly
some edgy commentary from Beverly, who I don't think he'll
probably play in the NBA again. He played overseas and
whatnot here and from Beverly's lips to the NBA scriptwriter's
ears is what I would say, right? Why not? And
(23:27):
the Clippers are certainly more than capable of winning the championship.
And they've been in this position where they have the
talent to win a championship for about a decade now.
Most of the time they've been good enough to win
a championship, but inevitably the car breaks down. The car
breaks down, the engine doesn't work right, the breaks don't work.
(23:47):
At some point, it's if it's not one thing, it's
something else here. So I've determined, after a minutes long
Mallard deliberation, that the richest owner in American sports, Steve Balmer,
needs to go pac Man. They need to go pac Man. Now,
old arcade game, pac Man, get your hands on those
power pellets, you know, those little power pellets, and pac
(24:07):
Man eats the power pellet and then he flips the
script and then all of a sudden, because pac Man
ate the power pellet, he can then he's invincible, and
he can then eat those annoying little ghosts that usually
chase him. And all of a sudden, he's eating them.
And they got to go to that little penalty box
in the middle of the screen. The Clippers need a
power pellet. They need a pac Man power pellet for
Kawhi Leonard. Get him on the court, and they are
(24:31):
going to be in the Final four and likely the
NBA Finals and the whole thing here, and you really
set up pretty good. You got a disheveled Nuggage team
that hate each other. They got the coach fired, Michael
Malone in Denver. It's a total mess. They got a
nerd king dork as the interim coach, Adalman's kid, So
(24:54):
I don't know what the hell they're doing there. You
got playoff Westbrook. So all the Clippers have to do
is leave him open to shoot three. Here's the Nuggets
will feed them the ball, he'll lose, he'll miss them, and
so you get by them, and is maybe play Oklahoma City.
Who knows Oklahoma City won all these games and all
that they could lose in the first round. Whoever's the
eighth seed they get end up losing to, whether you're
(25:16):
Memphis or Golden State, of one of those two teams
is the eighth seed that would be shocked if Oklahoma
City loses and Clippers get there, they can beat them.
So you said, up right, last thing here the final
part of this winding road. So the looking around situation,
as we have now gotten to a fork in the road.
We are done with the regular season at the play
(25:37):
in tournament and then the regular season building up to
the playoffs, which will be this weekend. The playoffs this weekend.
So what early playoff matchups intrigue you the most? What
early playoff matchups intrigued you the most? So we don't
know all the matchups yet, There's only four that we know,
two in the East and two in the West because
of the ridiculous play in tournament. But those upset alert,
(26:03):
upset alert, upset alert, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lakers.
Anthony Edwards has a chance to exterminate Hukaluka right away
in the playoffs, and the Lakers are there right there.
They're plump for the taken. And during the regular season,
(26:24):
Minnesota was two and two with the Lakers. Now, the
one thing that's scares is they don't play any defense.
Neither the Lakers, Neither one's a good defensive team. But
that is a juicy opportunity for ant Man. If he
can stop, you know, knocking up women for a few
days and go out there and get it done, then
he'll be in good shape. Now, the Wolves are a
bipolar team, but I've noticed from watching random NBA games
(26:45):
during the course of the season that there are mostly
bipolar teams in the association. That's a league filled with
bipolar teams. There's a lot of Forrest Gump, a lot
of Forrest Gump out there. You never know what you're
gonna get, like a chocolates here, there and everywhere. Inconsistent
performances are the norm, at least during the regular season.
(27:07):
And these teams that many of them have been brilliant
at times, but they're not consistent pathetic at other times.
And so it makes it unlike years ago when you
kind of knew what you were going to get going
into a playoff. Situation not quite the case. That said,
much like the NCAA tournament went in doubt, go with
chalk Chalky mcchalk. Now in the East, of the matchups
(27:28):
that we know, the one that you're circling right away
is the upstart Pistons, who should not win a playoff series.
But the Knicks are a hot mess. They've got issues.
You've got Cade Cuttingham and Jalen Brunson on the other
side for the Knickerbockers that matchup. Detroit did win the
(27:48):
regular season series three games to one over New York.
So will the Knickerbockers pull the old Tracy Morgan and
puke all over the court at Madison Square Garden in
that series? And then you look around and it's like this,
you got a lot of the playing stuff. I mean,
there's not a lot there. There is. Now there's only
one playing game that you're like mildly interested in, and
(28:11):
that's to see what happens with Golden State Memphis. But
that's it. Does anyone care about Kings and Mavericks? I
don't Bulls and heat pu what stinks? And even the
Magic and Hawks matchup. That's the seven eight matchup in
the East that doesn't really do much for you.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
This is one big gets great.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
The Portland Trail Blazers have missed the playoffs for four
seasons in a row, but despite that, they gave head
coach Chauncey Billups a contracts extension keeping them there through
the twenty twenty seven to twenty eight season. Yes, do
you think the Blazers are headed in the right direction
under Billups?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well, they are better, but the bar was so low.
It's like they sucked for so long. And now they
did improve their record by fourteen games. I wouldn't say
they're they're they're in danger of being good if they
actually go out and add a couple of players. Yeah,
but at this point the assumption is, hey, they were
I think they had a winning record from mid January
to the end of the season. They beat some good teams,
(29:21):
so they are heading the right direction. And the Blazers
from when I heard they were worried that other good
teams actually wanted to hire Chauncey Billips, so they keep
him locked on the Oregon trail. They're not going the
wrong direction. I think they're kind of more in the
middle of their day, the fork in the road where
if they make a couple of decent moves this offseason,
they can actually be a playoff team again. Otherwise they'll
(29:41):
be stuck in purgatory. But I wouldn't say a thirty
five win team is a good team. Next.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Speaking with the media over the weekend, Kenny Pickett said
that he plans on starting in Cleveland, saying, I'm not
going there to hang out ben Yus.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Do you expect Pickett to be the starter throughout the season.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, he will start, But do I expect him to
be the star?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I mean they did sign Joe Flacco over the weekend.
Flacco was there before and they had to get rid
of him because Deshaun Watson was uncomfortable because Flacco was there.
But no, I would think every team seventeen games, Kenny Pickett,
he's there, He's gonna start at least one or two games.
But he's you know, he's no good. You know, he
was he was like they tried to hide him in Pittsburgh.
(30:20):
They won some games, but not because of Kenny Pickett.
But he's not gonna start the year a s QB one. Plus,
the Browns will likely draft a quarterback and we'll add
another quarterback next.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Evan Ingram told reporters that he was pursued by the
Chargers in the offseason, but he chose the Broncos because
of how Sean Payton intends to use him in the
offense and that he is quote ready to be unleashed.
Ben do you expect a big season from Ingram and Denver? Well, See,
this is a trick question, Coop.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I know you asked a Bronco question, and if there's
if I give an answer that you don't like it's
anti Bronco, then you will fail me on this one.
I know how this works here. Evan Ingram made a decision.
I believe it was a financial decision. It wasn't based
on the Chargers or the Broncos. It was based on
he got more money. That's why he went to Denverse.
(31:06):
Not about the Broncos and the Chargers are about the same.
I don't thin there's much difference between those teams. There
It is how do we know?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
But do you expect a big season? That's not show
you fail?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
No, I knew it. I don't see that. But that's
a fraudulent Joe. That's an East German judge.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
You didn't it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's a Russians Germany. That's a Russian judge communist.

You couldn't figure out how many bones were in the
human body.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Let's keep going. Let's keep it going on a lot
of time. Let's go to science. We'll keep this simple.
Who invented the telephone? Multiple choice? You have Thomas Edison,
Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell or none of the above? Lorena,
you want to go first this time?
Speaker 6 (42:49):
I think it's Alexander Graham Bell.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Why are you smiling when you say that?
Speaker 6 (42:54):
I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (42:55):
All right, Patrick, you want to take a shot, Patrick,
give this? Yeah, thank you. Alexander. I think it's none
of them, none of the Bob all right? And uh
the Lorraina got it right? And is Alexander Graham Bell
invented the telephone? He was a Scottish born scientist inventor,
best known for his work on developing the telephone.
Speaker 6 (43:14):
And Nikola Tesla invented electricity.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Okay, you don't need to touch up the questions. There's
no need to touch up the question. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 6 (44:05):
The dirt.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Okay, call the dirt. Good answer, Patrick, What do you
think the area between the outfield grass and the wall
in the outfield is called a baseball stadium? The lorena.
I'm a huge baseball guy, so I'm so sorry that
you're not gonna be able to win outright, but then
the warning trick, that is true, It is the warning track.
(44:26):
All right, we're out of time. What happens when we
have a tie is that we don't have any time.
So thank you, Patrick, you tied. All right, you're not smarter,

Speaker 1 (01:38):
So we're back at it again. Survived the weekend and
the rare and appropriate, the rare and appropriate malad monologue
about golf. That is our lead. And we're going to
start out in the woods of Georgia because that is
where the big event of the weekend took place, and
(01:59):
we're going there. Why I watched it, so rather than
just waste my time, I'm going to talk about it
because I watched the site of the eighty ninth edition
of The Masters. They don't have fans, no, no, no,
they're no fans there. They have patrons at the Masters,
the elites of the elites, hanging out schmoozing with one another.
(02:22):
There was a record amount of pollen in the air everywhere,
which meant the sinus issues were popping up right and left. Now.
I don't know if you saw this or not, if
you watched any over the weekend. I usually consume very
little of The Masters early on. Part of that is
because it's not the easiestly the easiest thing to watch.
You've a lot of streaming things and whatnot. But by
(02:45):
the weekend normally I'm more more engaged to it, depending
on other things I have going on. But I watched,
and so we watched so you would not have to
the events over the weekend. And it's our act of
public service, it's our way to give back. And it
was actually a doozy. It was not a event that
(03:05):
sucked it. It wasn't terrible. I assume you know by
now that Roy McElroy won the Masters in a playoff
over Justin Rose there at the Augusta tournament there in Georgia.
The course, the beautiful Course, completes the career Grand Slam,
his eleventh attempt, eleven years after I guess this is
(03:29):
what twelve at tempth eleven years after the last major championship.
So it's been it's been a minute over a decade
since Roy McElroy won. And then he fell down dramatically
with raw emotion, fell down to the ground and he
had his head tucked between his arms. There was water
(03:49):
flowing from his eyes. Oh so dramatic, the drama of
human sport, athletic competition. Now McElroy becomes the sixth player
to claim the career Grand Slam. And not only does
Roy McElroy get the green jacket, which most people don't
really want a green jacket, but there you do. You
ever seen it wear a green jacket in public? I've
(04:11):
never seen anyone wear a green jacket public anyway. At
the Augusta tournament's big deal. So he got the green jacket.
He's got that and jumbo size check, one of those
cartoon checks for four point two million. Four point two million,
that's a jumbo size check right there. The runner up,
Justin Rose, the loser, first loser, he only got two
(04:35):
point two million, so after taxes, that's like point two
after taxes, and twenty one million was dished out from
the tournament. They're not allowed to talk about that though
on the broadcast because they don't like to admit that
it's all about the money. They think it's about something else.
But that is the second major in a row where
(04:57):
mister Rose as finished second. So runner up doesn't get
it done. So let us discuss the events here. Do
you find how Roy McElroy got her done and won
the green jacket? Significant? How he had the lead going
to the back nine, gagged it and then ended up
forcing the extra playoff and then ends up winning it.
(05:20):
So I've got steering wheel, bamboo and brand ambassador, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna give you a headache unless we don't. We're gonna
try not to give you a headache. So a do
you find it? The question again, do you find how
Roy McElroy won the Master's significant Well, yes, right now
(05:42):
in the moment, one hundred percent. And the way these
things work, over the course of time, you're not gonna
remember what happened. You're gonna remember he won it. You're
not gonna remember exactly the events of the day. But
right now, in this moment, yes, we are remembering, and
that is certainly a big part of the story. So
I'm nodding my head yes to answer the question.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It will fade over time. We only have so much
space in our little brains there to remember all this nonsense.
But McElroy was absolutely in control, and it was to
the point where I was like, oh, this is gonna
be boring. Now, this is gonna be boring. But then
I realized it's golf, and there are no bigger chok
artists than golfers. The last day of a major, it
(06:25):
is a tradition, unlike any other golfers gagging on the
back nine, and there we were set up yet again. Originally,
after nine holes the broadcast, the tone was like, this
was a coronation for Roy McElroy. But in the back
of my head I was like, well, you know, he's
had some big gags and the old slip on the
(06:47):
banana peel. So for sixty eight of the seventy two
holes over the weekend, McElroy was a dominant figure at
Augusta National and in those sixty eight holes, Roy McElroy
was nineteen under par. Of course, the problem is you
play seventy two the other four holes, don't ask the
(07:10):
sixty eight holes where he was nineteen under. That's one
stroke off of Dustin Johnson's Master's record of twenty under.
But that was during the COVID where there were no
patrons at the event and all that stuff, so the
conditions were different. But we were waiting for that trapdoor
to open up. We were hoping that trapdoor would open up,
(07:34):
and sure enough it did, although it didn't open up
all the way into the pit of vipers because Roy
McElroy ended up. If you've seen we only really talk
about the majors here, but there's been many missed putts,
there have been many collapses. And on cue right around
the midway point there, Roy McElroy sat, he moved over
(07:55):
the seat, he moved over to the driver's seat, and
he got behind the steering wheel, and he decided to
drive the drive the struggle bus. And boy did he
do it. Almost completely into a ditch, almost completely new dish.
Driving the struggle bus, Roy blew a two shot lead
in two holes at the beginning, but then he got
a four shot lead, and on the back nine in
(08:18):
a matter if my mouth or math is correct here,
in the matter of not one, not two, but three holes,
that that was all gonzo. So he f that up
right away, and much like an elevator, up and down,
up and down, up and down. And during the weekend.
Now I mentioned sixty eight of the seventy two holes
McElroy on his way to completing the career Grand Slam,
(08:40):
was amazing. Nineteen hundred five. The other four holes, not one,
not two, not three, four double bogies. Now, even if
you're not a golf person, you know that's not good, right,
double bogie not good? Two of them on Thursday, but
then he had none on Friday, none on Saturday, but
he made sure to have not one but two on Sunday.
And in the history of this event, the only only
(09:00):
person to win with even three double bogies in the
tournament was the Walrs Craig Stadler years ago, and so
that means Roy McElroy had the most terrible shots in
four different holes double bogey, double bogie, double bogie, double
bogie and end up winning the tournament there so he went. Also,
(09:22):
he tied for the largest first round deficit, another reason
not to watch the first round of the Masters. But
down seven shots and he comes back and wins. That
is tied for the largest rally. Back now page two.
As for the mainstream, the elitist golf media and their narrative,
(09:43):
if you've been paying attention, it's essentially, after eleven years,
eleven years without a major, what does this victory say
about Roy McElroy And they are laying it on thick.
I am talking full bubble bath, full bubble bath for
Rory McElroy and they're just over the top. Now listen,
(10:06):
it was it a case of resilience, sure, but McElroy
kind of liked the bamboo. He had the phrase of
the bamboo there. The bamboo bends in the wind, and
McElroy certainly bent in the wind. He did not break.
And it's not a case where he just flat out
(10:28):
was at the top of Suck Mountain for the last
decade plus. There's this misnomer that McElroy was just god awful,
just got awful, and then he came back and he won,
and it's like this great redemption story. And it was
his seventeenth start at Augusta, and the nerds have pointed
(10:51):
out that that is the second most to get the
first win at Augusta. Sergio Garcia had gone nineteen can
sayecutive Masters, I think I think it was consecutive nineteen
Masters starts without without winning before he had. But the
eleven year gap now that is tied for the longest
span between major wins. However, again he was not trash.
(11:15):
It wasn't garbage over that stretch. He won nineteen times
on the PGA Tour over those ten years, so he
was averaging it was eleven years, but he was averaging
about two about two wins per year, and there were
a bunch of other high finishes as well. He was
(11:35):
only outside of the the NERD Golf rankings the World
Golf rankings one year out of those eleven years, so
the most part, he was still among the top players
in the sport, one of the top ten in the sport,
and he had six of those years where he was
in the top three. So again he was just like,
he's hanging around. You make a lot of money at golf,
(11:57):
not winning, but just kind of hanging out in the
top ten. You make a lot of money doing that.
They pay a lot of money. Rich people love golf.
It's a rich man sport. I went to go buy
golf clubs. I was seen about buying golf clubs last year,
and I went to a golf shop and I saw
how much they wanted for new golf clubs. I walked
right out. I said, I'm done. I don't like golf
that much. I'm gonna golf like once every six months
(12:19):
at the most. I ain't putting that kind of cash
down on something I'm gonna do once every six months.
But it's a rich man elitist game, and that's why
they have so much money. You can finish in the
top ten and you're good to go and we know
he won a bunch of tournaments McElroy. However, Roy McElroy,
nobody pays attention to the waste management open other than
(12:41):
when the hoodlams go there just get hammered and cause debauchery.
But other than that, it's like you're not watching these
other tournaments. Only the hart O Golf people are watching.
That's the issue. The rank and file watch the majors
and that's it, and that's the problem with the sport. Now,
last word, So Jim name Nants is part of the
story here. Jim Nance, who is synonymous with this event.
(13:06):
He has embraced it. He is into it, He's all
about it. So Jim Nance made a couple of costs.
There was a lot of silence after Roy McElroy won
the green jacket. I think we have some audio here
that we're gonna play though, but his line after McElroy
got very emotional. Nance is being called out for this.
(13:27):
Take a listen to the call on this. Tosses his putter,
troubles to the sacred side. Yeah, there's a lot of ambia. Nos.
I don't know if you could hear that. Play it again.
Us here tosses his putter troubles to the sacred side.
So jim Nantz, if you couldn't hear that because there's
(13:47):
a lot of ambient crowd noise there, Nance said he
I think he said, he clutches his putter and then
he stumbles to the sacred sawd was what he said?
That last part, that is the key part of this
jim Nantz describing the emotion of Roy McElroy and that
he stumbled to the sacred side. So how do you
(14:09):
rank this call? How do you rank this call? So
I've thought about, as some people very upset, how can
you say that it's just a stupid golf course and
all that stuff. I would argue, if you hire Jim
Nance to call a golf tournament or any sporting event,
this is what you're gonna get, right, That's who jim
Nantz is. That is the essence of Jim Nance. That
if you're an officiaato of his work, this is what
(14:31):
you want. That's the kind of bull crap you want
from a guy like Jim Nance. You know you're gonna
get it. Jim Nantz is like the brand ambassador of Cheetos. Right,
it ain't easy being cheesy, but that's Jim nantz Man.
The guy's just a cheese ball. He's always been a
cheese ball. And I've known a lot of guys like
(14:51):
that dude in the broadcasting business. There's a lot of
hard old dudes like Jim Nance. Andy Nance is much
more successful than I'll ever be, so good for him.
But he's a heart. Oh I mean, come on, he's
he's like a puffy guy too. In the booth right,
he's like at that dangerously cheesy I think was their
slogan back in the day for the cheese from him Nance.
(15:13):
And that's just the way it is. Listen for him.
I get it. This is the mecca, this is what
he's known for the Masters and and all that. And
so if you want cheese, boom check, if you want
extra surrupy, check, Nance will make it extra syrupy for you.
And it is amusing though, when you you juxtaposed the
(15:34):
event this weekend and how we were in here on
Friday before the weekend and the story remember the story
from round one you talk about going full circle at
the eighty ninth Masters. So the Masters began on Thursday,
and some no name golfer who had gone to Arizona
(15:55):
State treated the Sacred sod as Jim Nance liked to
call it, there as an outhouse by taking a leak
at Ray's Creek. And then it ends with the golfer
on his hands and knees there on the again sacred
sword of Augusta. So they have certainly gone full circle.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Later this out we will have mallardly third Degree, but
we begin with this. The curtain has come down on
the regular season of the NBA. There will be no
more regular season NBA games for this year anyway. It's
all over there the finale. Everyone playing on a Sunday,
(16:45):
And while we were watching the golf, we flipped over
to the basketball. There's only one game really worth watching
on Sunday in the NBA, and I was in San Francisco.
That was the game. You win, you get a secured
playoff spot, lose, and you gotta go to that fugase
playing tournament and that involved Golden State playing the People's team.
(17:08):
And I know he saw it was on National National TV.
Don't know if you're watching it or not. Maybe not,
but the Beard a renaissance. James Harden hitting consecutive three
point baskets in overtime, a domination situation, the kind of
performance that if Harden does that in an NBA Finals game,
(17:30):
they write books about it. He was that dominant, made
a parafoul, shots, scored on a also got a basket
on a Jimmy Butler goaltending call. He had thirty nine points.
James Harden and tennis sist. That was the Roquets version
of James Harden in that game. Kawhi Leonard, the Toronto
Raptor San Antonio Spur Vintage for the People's team, Leonard
(17:51):
had thirty three points. The Clippers get it done, they win,
and they win in overtime, and they're the fifth seed
in the West Conference. They get to play those lightweights
from Denver in their first playoff series, and the Warriors
on the wrong end of things, which means they are
not guaranteed of a play in spot. And the better story, though,
(18:14):
is in the losing locker room. As much as I
would like to sit here and wax loquacious about the
Clippers and how great James Harden was and all that.
Nobody wants to hear that. You want to hear the
sad sack Golden State Warriors, that's what you want to
hear about. You had Steph Curry make a basket, strutting right,
he was strutting down the court there. Oh man, we
got these guys and then they had to play the
(18:36):
rest of the game. He didn't have anybody and he
had nothing, nothing. So the Warriors who melted under pressure.
They had the lead late, had a four point lead,
and they melted down the stretch. Curry had thirty six
although he did really nothing the first three quarters. Jimmy
Butler thirty points and nine assists, and that's it. The
(19:00):
regular season is over. So let us discuss how big
a setback, How big a setback is this loss for
Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green and the Warriors
as they now have to go into that playing tournament.
So I've got Fiddle pac Man and Forrest Gump and
(19:20):
we will combine all of these things together and we're
going to make some sour dough bread, the San Francisco treat,
which is well just sour, just very sour there the worst.
So this is a myth buster situation, right, this is
a myth buster situation. That is my number one the
(19:42):
aura of the Warriors when they got Jimmy Butler and
they had a great record to finish the regular season,
but they didn't get Jimmy Butler to still end up
in the play in tournament. That was not the mission.
When they got Jimmy Butler and they had everything set up.
Golden State had everything you could possibly want. So this
is a massive disappointment. All right, this is a massive disappointment.
(20:05):
Everything was there. You had home cooking checked, you had
that Warriors were favored. They were three and a half
point favorites in the gambling line. When you avoid the
playing tournament, lose and you're in it. And Golden State
had a twelve point lead in the first half, and
there was that point where it was teetering where if
the Warriors go second level, go turbo time, they go
(20:27):
up by twenty five points games over. They didn't have it.
They did not have the ability to go turbo time,
and they were not turbotask the tastic in that situation.
And they did have the early body blow body blow
by Golden State. So they came as all right there
by twelve had a body blow, and then the Clippers
respawned and the Warriors, because they were they had home cooking,
(20:51):
they fiddled around with their food. You don't fiddle around
with your food. They did, and the Clippers kept chipping
away their little right hook. Here a left hook. And
in overtime the Beard said, here's an uppercut right to
the chin. Boom, right to the chin. Sure enough, and
so Harden had twelve of the Clippers thirteen points in overtime.
(21:13):
He was electric. And Jimmy Butler at the end there
he looked like a pogo stick. He was hopping up
and down there at the end of the game. Draymond
Green blew a buddy. I'm sure we'll hear about that
in this podcast unless we don't. But yeah, missed a
layup right there. I could have made that. He missed it.
Nobody around. He missed a layup. And you combine this
(21:38):
loss and also a couple of days back, the Warriors
lost to the San Antonio Spurs at home, a dog
food Spurs team. And there's not a lot of razzle
dash like any razzle dazz of the Warriors had from
winning a bunch of games when he got Jimmy Brother.
You lose to the Spurs at home, and you've got
a win, and you're in the playoffs, losing your play
(22:00):
and you can't beat the Clippers. That's a bad job
by Golden State. Now, you can spin it any way
you want, but that's not why they got Jimmy Butler
and all that stuff. And there's no time for a
penny party because right back added another thing that's ridiculous.
In the NBA, you play eighty two games. It's an
eighty two game playing tournament to decide who makes the playoffs.
(22:21):
And then you add a couple extra games just in
case somebody gets hurt, because you want more content. And
so the NBA Playing Tournament will begin on Tuesday. The
seven seed Memphis will travel to Northern California to take
on the Warriors in San Francisco. There and that's that.
Now turning the page, we've got former NBA player Patrick
(22:44):
Beverly who has entered the chat. BEV the glue guy
for the Clippers. Now, he said prior to the Clipper
Warrior game that the winner of that game on a
lazy Sunday afternoon, the winner of that matchup, he was
winning the championship? So how does that sound to you?
(23:05):
That's what he said it. I didn't say it. He
said it. Patrick Beverly said it all right, So certainly
some edgy commentary from Beverly, who I don't think he'll
probably play in the NBA again. He played overseas and
whatnot here and from Beverly's lips to the NBA scriptwriter's
ears is what I would say, right? Why not? And
(23:27):
the Clippers are certainly more than capable of winning the championship.
And they've been in this position where they have the
talent to win a championship for about a decade now.
Most of the time they've been good enough to win
a championship, but inevitably the car breaks down. The car
breaks down, the engine doesn't work right, the breaks don't work.
(23:47):
At some point, it's if it's not one thing, it's
something else here. So I've determined, after a minutes long
Mallard deliberation, that the richest owner in American sports, Steve Balmer,
needs to go pac Man. They need to go pac Man. Now,
old arcade game, pac Man, get your hands on those
power pellets, you know, those little power pellets, and pac
(24:07):
Man eats the power pellet and then he flips the
script and then all of a sudden, because pac Man
ate the power pellet, he can then he's invincible, and
he can then eat those annoying little ghosts that usually
chase him. And all of a sudden, he's eating them.
And they got to go to that little penalty box
in the middle of the screen. The Clippers need a
power pellet. They need a pac Man power pellet for
Kawhi Leonard. Get him on the court, and they are
(24:31):
going to be in the Final four and likely the
NBA Finals and the whole thing here, and you really
set up pretty good. You got a disheveled Nuggage team
that hate each other. They got the coach fired, Michael
Malone in Denver. It's a total mess. They got a
nerd king dork as the interim coach, Adalman's kid, So
(24:54):
I don't know what the hell they're doing there. You
got playoff Westbrook. So all the Clippers have to do
is leave him open to shoot three. Here's the Nuggets
will feed them the ball, he'll lose, he'll miss them, and
so you get by them, and is maybe play Oklahoma City.
Who knows Oklahoma City won all these games and all
that they could lose in the first round. Whoever's the
eighth seed they get end up losing to, whether you're
(25:16):
Memphis or Golden State, of one of those two teams
is the eighth seed that would be shocked if Oklahoma
City loses and Clippers get there, they can beat them.
So you said, up right, last thing here the final
part of this winding road. So the looking around situation,
as we have now gotten to a fork in the road.
We are done with the regular season at the play
(25:37):
in tournament and then the regular season building up to
the playoffs, which will be this weekend. The playoffs this weekend.
So what early playoff matchups intrigue you the most? What
early playoff matchups intrigued you the most? So we don't
know all the matchups yet, There's only four that we know,
two in the East and two in the West because
of the ridiculous play in tournament. But those upset alert,
(26:03):
upset alert, upset alert, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lakers.
Anthony Edwards has a chance to exterminate Hukaluka right away
in the playoffs, and the Lakers are there right there.
They're plump for the taken. And during the regular season,
(26:24):
Minnesota was two and two with the Lakers. Now, the
one thing that's scares is they don't play any defense.
Neither the Lakers, Neither one's a good defensive team. But
that is a juicy opportunity for ant Man. If he
can stop, you know, knocking up women for a few
days and go out there and get it done, then
he'll be in good shape. Now, the Wolves are a
bipolar team, but I've noticed from watching random NBA games
(26:45):
during the course of the season that there are mostly
bipolar teams in the association. That's a league filled with
bipolar teams. There's a lot of Forrest Gump, a lot
of Forrest Gump out there. You never know what you're
gonna get, like a chocolates here, there and everywhere. Inconsistent
performances are the norm, at least during the regular season.
(27:07):
And these teams that many of them have been brilliant
at times, but they're not consistent pathetic at other times.
And so it makes it unlike years ago when you
kind of knew what you were going to get going
into a playoff. Situation not quite the case. That said,
much like the NCAA tournament went in doubt, go with
chalk Chalky mcchalk. Now in the East, of the matchups
(27:28):
that we know, the one that you're circling right away
is the upstart Pistons, who should not win a playoff series.
But the Knicks are a hot mess. They've got issues.
You've got Cade Cuttingham and Jalen Brunson on the other
side for the Knickerbockers that matchup. Detroit did win the
(27:48):
regular season series three games to one over New York.
So will the Knickerbockers pull the old Tracy Morgan and
puke all over the court at Madison Square Garden in
that series? And then you look around and it's like this,
you got a lot of the playing stuff. I mean,
there's not a lot there. There is. Now there's only
one playing game that you're like mildly interested in, and
(28:11):
that's to see what happens with Golden State Memphis. But
that's it. Does anyone care about Kings and Mavericks? I
don't Bulls and heat pu what stinks? And even the
Magic and Hawks matchup. That's the seven eight matchup in
the East that doesn't really do much for you.
Speaker 2 (28:28):

Speaker 2 (28:40):
This is one big gets great.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
The Portland Trail Blazers have missed the playoffs for four
seasons in a row, but despite that, they gave head
coach Chauncey Billups a contracts extension keeping them there through
the twenty twenty seven to twenty eight season. Yes, do
you think the Blazers are headed in the right direction
under Billups?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well, they are better, but the bar was so low.
It's like they sucked for so long. And now they
did improve their record by fourteen games. I wouldn't say
they're they're they're in danger of being good if they
actually go out and add a couple of players. Yeah,
but at this point the assumption is, hey, they were
I think they had a winning record from mid January
to the end of the season. They beat some good teams,
(29:21):
so they are heading the right direction. And the Blazers
from when I heard they were worried that other good
teams actually wanted to hire Chauncey Billips, so they keep
him locked on the Oregon trail. They're not going the
wrong direction. I think they're kind of more in the
middle of their day, the fork in the road where
if they make a couple of decent moves this offseason,
they can actually be a playoff team again. Otherwise they'll
(29:41):
be stuck in purgatory. But I wouldn't say a thirty
five win team is a good team. Next.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Speaking with the media over the weekend, Kenny Pickett said
that he plans on starting in Cleveland, saying, I'm not
going there to hang out ben Yus.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Do you expect Pickett to be the starter throughout the season.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, he will start, But do I expect him to
be the star?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I mean they did sign Joe Flacco over the weekend.
Flacco was there before and they had to get rid
of him because Deshaun Watson was uncomfortable because Flacco was there.
But no, I would think every team seventeen games, Kenny Pickett,
he's there, He's gonna start at least one or two games.
But he's you know, he's no good. You know, he
was he was like they tried to hide him in Pittsburgh.
(30:20):
They won some games, but not because of Kenny Pickett.
But he's not gonna start the year a s QB one. Plus,
the Browns will likely draft a quarterback and we'll add
another quarterback next.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Evan Ingram told reporters that he was pursued by the
Chargers in the offseason, but he chose the Broncos because
of how Sean Payton intends to use him in the
offense and that he is quote ready to be unleashed.
Ben do you expect a big season from Ingram and Denver? Well, See,
this is a trick question, Coop.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I know you asked a Bronco question, and if there's
if I give an answer that you don't like it's
anti Bronco, then you will fail me on this one.
I know how this works here. Evan Ingram made a decision.
I believe it was a financial decision. It wasn't based
on the Chargers or the Broncos. It was based on
he got more money. That's why he went to Denverse.
(31:06):
Not about the Broncos and the Chargers are about the same.
I don't thin there's much difference between those teams. There
It is how do we know?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
But do you expect a big season? That's not show
you fail?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
No, I knew it. I don't see that. But that's
a fraudulent Joe. That's an East German judge.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
You didn't it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's a Russians Germany. That's a Russian judge communist.
