So it was a whirlwind. If you love the transaction, if you get all horny for the transaction, you needed an ambulance by midday. There was a lot going on. Lot going on. Am I going to sit here and pretend like I'm an expert on every single player? God no. I have no life, but I got some life compared to some of these other gibbonies. Well, I think are all fraudsters. Now, I got into radio. I worked with a guy San Diego who claimed he knew the answer to every name in like baseball. People would call up with phony phone calls about names of athletes that they just made up and this guy would say, well, I know that guy. He was in AA for the Cardinals or something like this. He's a book rep. And I look at a lot of these so called geniuses who are out there breaking down the free agent pyramid. And I'm like, that guy's a Charlton. That guy's a con man and all that. But our lead from people we've heard of our lead from the quarterback, Mark, on the move again, on the move again, the high speed sports wire smoking hot,
smoking hot, developing dot, dot, dot, and the legal tampering period is underway. The flag is up and off to the races we go. And the story came out early, the dolphins said, bye, bye to two, a tongue of I loa. And the worst kept secret around the story had been out for some time. So then a few hours later, just a few hours later to was swooped up in NFL free agencies found a new employer. I assume you know by now, however, there's a chance that you actually have lived your life. You worked, if you slept, you weren't paying attention, you tune in, you want to hear what's going on. So the story we learned that to a tongue of I loa taking his talents to the ATL. Dirty birds, you know, the dirty birds there, a one year contract for the minimum 1.3 million. That's the veteran minimum. And how can he do that? Well, he can do that because those suckers in Miami
are paying him money, money, money, and then some the deal was likely agreed to a long time ago. It was just announced on Monday. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You've got quarterback to a tongue of I loa headed to Atlanta. What exactly are the Falcons doing here? Is this an upgrade? Seriously. So I've got Ivan life. We've got canned spam and Fisher price. And we will combine all of these things together. And we're going to pinky swear. This will be the greatest monologue ever broadcast overnight on Fox Sports Radio on this day. And if it's not, then I'm going to blame my Carmen who I just saw walk out of the building. Alright, so a the Falcons answer the question. What exactly are the Falcons doing here? It's a box checking exercise. That's my theory. It's a box checking exercise or go to a checks not one, not two, but three boxes. Alright, for Atlanta. He's cheap. He's available. And he's got a pulse. We think he's breathing.
We think he's breathing. So that's it. But boom, right at that. There you go. That's the bar. That's the bar for the Atlanta Falcons. And he comes with a warning label buyer beware buyer beware numbers are misleading stats are misleading. And so this continues. What apparently is the new franchise charter in Georgia there. The Atlanta football team there. They've turned now to the island life. The island life. What does that mean? Well, the island of law so as they go play for the Falcons. Come on, come on. Come on. Come on. Fun for all ages there. Falcon football unless you're actually watching them. You can reinvent yourself. Rejuvenate your career in the peach state. Unless that doesn't happen. But you don't to go down there. Hang out. Get some of that jerk chicken that good southern food there. Get some collard greens and grits. And a cornbread and all the other great foods they have there and enjoy that because you're not going to enjoy playing quarterback for the Falcons very much.
Now I will tell you on a tablet. If you look at a tablet and imagine use your imagination. You can be Benny Brightside. You look at it. You're like, well, this looks pretty good. You've got a dome stadium. A division filled with southern team. So it's not your north eastern coal or upper Midwestern cold weather. Playmakers and Drake London and Bajon Robinson Kyle pits up the wazoo for two. So you got that. That's the kind of lineup that on a tablet looks pretty pretty good. That looks gorgeous. The sales pitch like listen. This is the way to do it. These guys are all young and hungry in the prime of their careers are not even in the prime of their careers. Some of these guys. Now the reality is the scouting report on tour says keep your distance. Keep your distance here. It's one of those moves that looks better than it is from the hallway outside the theater. Right outside the theater. Well, that's pretty good outside the stadium. Like, oh, that's not bad.
That's not bad. That's not a bad move. However, when you sit down at your seat and watch it, you realize it's a low budget student film is what it is. Now the plot twist here is this Atlanta now has two lefties at quarterback. They're going all left handed there to a Michael Penex junior who for some reason the Falcons drafted in the first round because there are a bunch of country bumpkins and that worked out really well. That was great. They should have drafted Tommy and Atlanta are caller and listener in Atlanta. Tommy would have been better off there. Apparently the Falcons are running the South Paul offense, which explains a lot. Now keeping the theme going here, but turning the page on the Miami side of things. So the dolphins were so desperate. So desperate to get rid of two. How desperate. Where are they? Thanks for asking. There was so desperate that they're going to take the greatest salary cap ding in the history of the salary cap. 99.2 million.
Do you understand how much one must suck and blow to have a team say rather than keep you, we would rather take a hit of 99.2 million dollars. Now we are told that will be spread like chunky peanut butter over a couple years. So starting this year, 67.4 million in the following year, 31.8 million of dead charges. And then the dolphins will have to deal with that. And oh, they are. Oh, they are. So Miami hosted a one minute sizzle reel as two was fired from his job. I guess laid off get 99 million. You're not really fired. You're laid off. So the dolphins and I did sizzle reel. I mean, saw it or not. It happened when I was sleeping. I saw it when I woke up. And I wanted to talk about that. So the question. Why? Why did the Miami dolphins a multi billion dollar football team post a highlight video of a guy into a tongue of Iowa, who they are going to pay 99 million to not have on the roster. So what are you doing? Now this made me want to vomit.
Not the vomit comment. I just wanted to vomit. It's not just dysfunction with the dolphin. I mean, they got that going for them too. The D in dolphins also works for dysfunction. It's a sub basement level of loser dumb. So you go to the basement. And then you go below the basement. That's loser dumb. There's a portal right under there. And you go in there. And that's the board. You're posting a thank you video for two a tongue of Iowa. Like he's Dan Marino. They didn't do that for Dan Marino because he was it. There was a social media with Dan Marino retired and all that. The guy to it just essentially pick pocketed the franchise. And you left with a 99 million dollar charge. She dined and ditched. And you of course escorted them out of the building. The biggest heist in NFL history. And the social media mods for the Miami dolphins are out there. And they're treating two are like he's some kind of war hero. What are you doing? Just quietly let him go. That's it. Say, hey, we have to up. And we'll move on. That's it. And two, it turned out to be a fake, a phony and a fraud. And some people, I won't say who that may or may not host an overnight show tried to warn the Miami dolphins.
Did they listen? Hell no. They didn't listen. No, they did not. So two and not only commits the perfect crime because you got all that money without a gun without a knife without a hand grenade. Just the Duke, the Duke. And that's it. So the dolphins have already paid to a by my malware math 124 million to check the turf. See what's going on there for structural integrity. He throws the ball into the ground. And or better into the ear hole of a receiver that wasn't looking for the ball. And now you're eating at 99 million dollar cap it there. Just to get him out of the building. That's an FBI situation is what that is here. This isn't the salary cap hit. That's a ransom payment is what that is. And two has got another 100 some million dollars. That he's going to be getting by the time this is all done. So he's got much more money. And for that, you got one playoff appearance and no playoff wins with two.
He was also hurt quite a bit. That turned out to be a superpower. And he's shown to be to a based on his relatively long NFL career. A front runner who collapses the very mom, the very split second, the temperature drops below 50 degrees. He literally turns into a popsicle. He turns into a popsicle. He's essentially just can spam under center, if you will, that cost a quarter of a billion dollars. That's some very expensive can spam. That's what it is. And so that's what the dolphins didn't. They should have just posted a video of him leaving Miami and said, okay, happy days are here again. That's the only highlight that the dolphins should have posted to a left and just erase everything else. All right. Now last word. So to the replacement we go, we already have his replacement. The new head coach, Jeff Haively has a deal with former Titans and Packers quarterback Malik Willis. Now the overnight rumor was Willis was going to the Cardinals at dolphins, supposedly stepped in and offered him a little bit more money toss in the Florida taxes and saving some more money on top of that. So Malik Willis going to Miami, the question what stands out.
What stands out about Malik Willis of all people who's now the QB one for the Miami dolphins. So this is great. And the reason I wanted to talk about not that in Malik Willis, I think you'll be okay. I want to see if you can blossom. However, however, this moment, this little Polaroid captures the absurdity of the business of football, the economy of the NFL. And this is the bullied pulpit. Where I have been screaming down from the bully pulpit about the salary cap is crap and all that stuff and going on and on and on. So this should end all the bait. This should be the moment that it's all the bait about those that preach at the altar of the salary cap. So Miami is paying a $99 million dead cap hit for two or two go away. Okay, fine. We've established that. Get out of here. Go away. So that's not a buyout. It's not a buyout. It's a yacht and a hella pad. And there's still a whole bunch of guaranteed money and all that. So and somehow with that amount of money tied up, they were still able to sign another quarterback.
Like you'd think that dolphins would have to play with 10 players on the field. They wouldn't have to full 11 on offense or defense. They'd have 10 on offense, 10 on defense, maybe only nine on special teams. But no, they still found a way to get Malik. Well, now why is that? Because the cap is crap. Say it was me now kids. Cap is crap. Cap is crap. That's right. It's all part of the Fisher price cash register. That is the NFL salary cap. They even come with six, six little toy coins, blue, yellow, green, all those coasts. And the the salary cap. It's like the points on whose line is it anyway? None of it matters. None of it matters. Right. And also Malik Willis. This is also a great thing about life and jump in sports. I don't know if this works anywhere else. He became more valuable Malik Willis by doing less. By not working that much, his value skyrocketed to the moon to the moon. The last two years he has started three more games than I have. And you have three. That's it.
The last two years, he's attempted, not completely attempted 89 passes Malik Willis. He's barely played. And yeah, did he show a flicker here and there for Green Bay? Sure. Surrounded by competent grownups. He looked like he had some kind of a clue. And now, now he goes to the daycare center in Miami. And yet it's like, wow, he's a blue chip stock waiting to happen. Okay. Well, I hope he does well, but certainly seems like quite the overpay. Meanwhile, you look at what the dolphins plan is. And we were discussing the jets the other day, tanking for archmaning with Miami dolphins. At this point, can we do a wellness check on Stevie meatballs and some of our great dolphin fans that are part of the show because it looks like an exclusion zone, you know, that 18 mile area around Chernobyl. That's the dolphins. Right. And here, Malik is a lot of nuclear stuff going on. We want you to blossom. We want you to blossom right there. So radiation soaked environment. That's the dolphins. Good luck.

All right. So I lead this item. I'd play you an opportunity to go several different directions. And I didn't watch a good amount of what happened here saw the. I'm out of bio the most bogus 80 point game in the history pro basketball. Oh my god. Oh my god. And I really thought about doing that. But I that wouldn't reward the Miami heat for the shenanigans that took place in that game. As if they had a real commission with balls that there would be some kind of mark on that it was ridiculous. It was embarrassing for the NBA. But most things that happen the regular season embarrassing. We'll talk about that later. Also Aaron judge playing like it's the world series for team USA. Who goofed I've got to know. But we begin with this our lead story from lost wages Nevada, which is also lost trades Nevada. Yeah. So the story. I mean, this is by far the biggest football story, the biggest football story. The second day of what I love is the legal tampering period for the NFL, the silver and black continue to be in the headlines. I know our buddy peritos were upset.
And a lot of the the raiders who their fan base. I will say this with their fan base has more passion than the team does. It's almost like they still think they're good, which is hilarious to me. They blow. They're the browns of the jets. They just have a different logo. So yet again, a stutter from sin city and man alive. This is why. So if you didn't hear, I assume you're fired by now. You never know. Maybe you don't pay attention. Perhaps you've been off the grid. And you've been away from all forms of media. So the raiders who a couple of days ago, it was announced with much fanfare with much fanfare had said bite by to max cross me. They sent his ass out of Vegas and send him to Maryland. Well, now psych. The raiders announced that the ravens had backed out of the agreement to acquire edge rusher max crossby. What does that mean? That means it's nay on the trade a no trade. Now this did not it is interesting to point out also this did not come from the normal.
Gibronies Adam Schefter didn't have it. The rap sheet didn't have it to NFL media. This was a story that was not leaked. It was delivered by the raiders on social media. Normally, these things are just given to the insiders to get out there. It was just a random social media post. One so random there were people that truly believed that the raiders account had been hacked. And so the previous agreed deal, the deal that previously had been agreed to where the raiders were sending crossby to Baltimore. And then they got some crab fries and two first round draft fix in return. And that was set to become official official. So the word is crossby failed the physical. His representation ran to the microphones or let's get social media to say no, no, no, he's it'll be good to go.
The summer everything will be good. Everything will be good. All right. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. The ravens pulling out of the max crossby trade with the raiders because of what is the claim is a failed physical. How realistic does that report come across? That's what's being tossed out there that the ravens said no, no, bad knee. It's a bad knee for max crossby. So my views on this, I've got house band, champagne and PlayStation. And we'll throw all of these together and we're going to drop a brand new album. And whether you like it or not, we're just going to have a bunch of bots download the album. Isn't that what all the people do today? All the kids just have bots downloaded so it doesn't matter if it's good or not, you just have artificially fake downloads. All right. Anyway, first of all, this entire episode, if you are on the side, well, the ravens are in the right and I believe the ravens doctors.
I have bad news. This is a stupid test and you've just failed. Sorry, not sorry. Okay. You are gullible. Just how gullible are you if you believe this is an accurate story that's being fed to us that the ravens physical was the reason that max crossby. That max crossbees trade was declined. This is one of the oldest open secrets in the NFL and all of sports. Even when I was a little kid and I'm so old, I was around before the internet, but even then when I was growing up, I knew about this. Has the physical dance is political as much as anything. It's not really medicine. It's not medicine. It's it's political. Let me explain. For those of you who go slow in the back of the room here, the team doctor, whether you work for the ravens or the patriots or the Vikings, whoever the team doctor is. They work for the team. They don't work for the Mayo Clinic. They're more like the house band. They're the house band, whether it's on a boat or a casino, they're the house band and they play whatever they are told the play.
That's how it works. And if the GM wants max crossby, if the ownership in Baltimore says we want max crossby, what happens? Then the story is, well, listen, the doctor gave him a physical. He's got some minor wear and tear. It's perfectly normal. The guy's played a lot of snaps in the NFL max crossby. And it makes sense. If you suddenly don't want the player, because you've had a chance of heart, because you realize that wasn't such a great trade for you for whatever reason, if you believe that, then man, the knee, the structural instability. We just can't make the trade. We just can't we just cannot do it. Should the doctor push back, again, the house band, should the doctor push back the Ravens would then fly to Chicago. They visit Lou Melnotties. They get a deep dish pie and then have lunch with Doc Mike, who will then sign off on it or call their Doc Mike from Chicago, right?
They say, yeah, no problem or go the Ravens change their mind. They say, well, we don't want to give up that many draft picks. That's not what the Ravens do. First round draft picks like that. That's out of our culture. So we we have a chance here, because the trade hasn't been sent through the league. So we're going to bow out of it. And we're going to use the physical as a fall guy. Everyone's got to have a fall guy. All right. So secondly, keeping the rhythm of this hour going, the hour of Max Crosby. So Max Crosby goes back to Vegas for now. And Baltimore does the old Mutambo. They reject Max Crosby. So which part of this story feels the most uncomfortable because there's a lot of uncomfortable things about this. There's a lot of things that are very odd. There's oddities to this, which makes it so good. It's just great. So the Raiders, I'm going to start with them. They tried prematurely. We have pills. If you've got premature issues, listen to the overnight show. But the Raiders tried to celebrate prematurely.
The break up the divorce papers had not yet been signed, but they were already having a party to celebrate the divorce and all that's classic mistake. You never popped a champagne. Ever don't don't pop the champagne until the paperwork clears the league office. You don't measure the drapes before you win the election. Okay. So bad job by them. The Raiders and then they did this just ridiculous victory lap. Because the Raiders don't win during the regular season. They suck. They're the jets of the Browns. So when they make a move of transaction in the off season, they celebrate like they're good at something. So hey, we blow, but we're good at this. Of course, anybody can say they want a transaction because you won't know for months and months and months. They don't play till September. We're sitting in March. They don't play till September. So the Raiders go around like, look at us, man. I mean, I'm like, like peacocks with their feathers in the air everywhere. The Raiders. We got two first round picks. We so excited. High five in chest pumping. Tom Brady, probably in the back polishing the Lombardi. Right there. Of course, he has one one with the Raiders twirling his mustache like every cartoon villain. Tom Brady there. We're geniuses.
Oops, a daisy. Oops, a daisy. Tom failed physical and the trade is D E A D with Baltimore. So Crosby boomerangs back. And since this is the portion where we talk about the shame game. So Crosby goes back on the old boomerang. He bounces back to the Raiders and kind of like bad calls on this show that just keep coming back every day, whether you want them or not, they just pop up. And I'm not, I'm not naming it. No, Lorraine. I'm not going to name Mike the Leopard. I'm not doing it. I didn't hear. I'm not. I didn't say no. I'm not going, hollering James. I'm not saying that name. No. Definitely not. Definitely not. No. But here's the point. So the Raiders get the player back, which you'd say, well, this guy was born to be a Raider. This is great and all that stuff. It's wonderful. The plan would be just to flip Crosby again. The Raider spent a bunch of money on some marginal players in free agency. And now they lost the two first round picks. They were all excited about and all the all jazzed up for.
And they've lost. I don't really care about the side recap flexibility. Some people are worked up into a lather about that. I don't really worry about that. The leverage part of it's where they're screwed. Because now the teams that were interested in Max Crosby, a number of them have filled the void. And those that haven't filled the void. Well, we don't have to pay that much. You guys are screwed. You got to work with us now. All right. And then how about Crosby? The most awkward of them all Max Crosby. This dude posted a 13 minute goodbye video to the Raiders. 13 minute heartfelt message to Raider Nation Max Crosby. Ica Rumba. My God. It's like quitting your job, giving a very dramatic speech about how your bosses suck. And the morale at work is terrible. Nobody ever gets raises here. And people are very upset.
And then HR walks in and says, Oh, by the way, you know, actually that that transfer thing didn't go through. So you got to come back to work tomorrow. What? Say what? Now the Raiders still have time to to make this. Okay. But for now, it's the walk of shame. The walk of shame. You know, it's like, you know, the late night booty call there. Three in the morning, walking out and a couple of people for some reason awake. They look at you. Like, what are you doing? You know what you're doing? All the sheveled and all that stuff. So everyone knows that Crosby wanted out. You want to be with the Raiders. He didn't like Alex Guerrero or Tom Brady thinks he's a phony. And Brady does appear to be a phony as an executive. So Crosby wanted out. And so fine. And now he's got to again, for now, he's got to go back and pretend pretend that the breakup thing didn't happen and all that stuff. So all right. Now final thought on this flipping forward. So question here is where does this max Crosby story go next with the Raiders?
So on this one, you should pull up a chair and get some popcorn because this is good. This is where it becomes a late night infomercial. But wait, there's more. But wait, there's what are you talking about? But wait, there's more. What do you happen about? Yeah, yeah. So the theme like this, the PlayStation, you're playing, you're doing your thing. You're like Kyler Murray, whatever you playing games. And then he's my favorite gamer Kyler Murray little guy. So the PlayStation gets turned off. And nothing got saved. The memory card is toast. And so the Raiders have to start the game from the beginning level. They go back to the start. This is my nightmare. And the Ravens, they hit the big red failed physical box. What's in the box? Hit that. And so suddenly the whole deal goes poof like a magician and congratulations to max Crosby here. He won the shami whammy. So congratulations on that. You get the shami whammy. And now the Raiders are back to where they start as we said. And that's the interesting story here is they're wandering through the flea market of the NFL here.
And like, okay, this is the NFL's trade bizarre. And they're holding Crosby up like a slightly dented antique lamp. And I got this lamp. It's classic. It might be worth a lot of money. However, we don't know. Antiques roadshow is what it is. And it works great. Little wear and tear. No problem. No problem. Use a little bit pre-owned. So there there's the catch now entering the conversation here. Baltimore very publicly red tagged max Crosby is damaged at a garage sale. So true or not that label is going to follow Crosby around. So now Tom Brady and the puppets underneath Tom Brady who do nothing but just follow the instructions of Tom Brady in the Raider front office. They now have to adjust the price. The market has spoken. They have to adjust the price. The dancing shoes are on the dancing shoes are on there and they're doing the limbo.
The limbo. How low can you go? You look around. You got Buffalo out there in New England, Chicago. Dallas is lurking around there. They're all circling like bargain hunters on a Monday morning when the new supplies come in at the Amazon liquidation store. And they're trying to find some good stuff that it's in the box. Crosby still star. Just now he's on the not that full discount rack, but a lot less than he was the other day. So slightly scratched box now for Max Crosby and the Raiders are hoping someone still wants to purchase the Max Crosby package.
