I'd play you an opportunity to go several different directions. I did watch a good amount of what happened here. Saw the BAM out of bio, the most bogus 80 point game in the history of ProBasketball.

3:02Oh my god. I really thought about doing that, but that would reward the Miami Heat for the shenanigans that took place in that game. If they had a real commission with balls there would be some kind of mark on that. It was ridiculous. It was embarrassing for the NBA. Most things that happened the regular season were 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 Novata which is also Lost Trades Novata. Yeah, so the story, I think this is by far the biggest football story, 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 Perritos 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.

4:03It'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 stunner and a 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 days ago it was announced with much fanfare with much fanfare had said bite-by to Max Crosby. They sent his ass out of Vegas and sent him to Maryland. Well, now the raiders announced that the ravens had backed out of the agreement to acquire edge rusher Max Crosby. What does that mean? That means X-N-A on the trade-A. No trade. Now this did not. It is interesting to point out also. This did not come from the normal

5:03Gibronis. Adam Schefter didn't have it. The rap sheet didn't have it but it 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 Crosby to Baltimore. The reason was the trap-frize, and the two first-round draft fix in return. That was set to become official official official. It would mean Crosher in under 24 hours and it turns out No. Turn at the lights. The party is over. The word is Crosby failed

6:03the physical. media. So no, no, no, he's, it'll be, it'll be good to go. It's, uh, summer, everything will be good. Everything will be good. Alright. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. The Ravens pulling out of the Max Crosby 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 Raven said, no, no, bad knee. It's a bad knee for Max Crosby. 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. Alright. Anyway, first of all, this entire episode, if you are on the side, well, the Ravens are in the right

7:07and 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 Crosby's 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. The past, the physical dance is political as much as anything. It's not really medicine. It's not medicine. It's it's political. That makes point. 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,

8:09alright, 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 Crosby, if the ownership in Baltimore says we want Max Crosby, 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 guys played a lot of snaps in the NFL Max Crosby and it makes sense. If you suddenly don't want the player because you've had a change 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

9:11push back, again, the house band, should the doctor push back, the Ravens would then fly to Chicago, they'd visit Lou Melnottis, they'd 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'll 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 a 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

10:11which 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, 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 the champagne. 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,

11:12they 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 and say, 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

12:15Crosby 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 it. 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 Raiders spend 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 salary cap 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

13:20were interested in Max Crosby, a number of them have filled the void and those that haven't filled the void. I like, 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 boss is suck. And the morale at work is terrible. And 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 make this okay. But for now, it's the walk of shame, the walk of

14:28shame. You know, it's like 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 shovel 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. 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? What wait, there's more?

15:32What what do you happen about? Yeah, yeah. So the thing about like this, the PlayStation, you're doing your thing, you're like Kyler Murray, whatever you playing games. And then he's my favorite game or 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? They 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 started. 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

16:36dented antique lamp. And they got this lamp. It's classic. It might be worth a lot of money. However, we don't know. And antique's roadshow is what it is. And it works great. A 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. Dude, the limbo. How low can you go? You look around. You got Buffalo out there in New England,

17:38Chicago. 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's in the box. Crosby's still a 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. It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to be part, you can join us right now. We'll talk about that. Or if you want to discuss one of the most ridiculous accomplishments in NBA history, one of the most choreographed moments I've ever seen. Oh my God. This BAM out of bio performance. There should be a lot of people embarrassed. They don't seem embarrassed. I don't know why they're not embarrassed, but I think you should be that's kind of spinning a lugee at Kobe Bryant and Wilk Chamberlain

18:42and so many others in NBA history. What BAM out of bio did. But I guess they have no shame in that game anymore. It's the modern NBA back in the old days. If you're at a 25 point lead and you left your star in the game to try to set some kind of record, what would happen is some goon would come over and just lay the lumber on top of that guy and he would be out for the next month. But that's not how you work. Everyone's lovey-dovey in the NBA. So they don't operate like that. And also team USA losing the Italians. So with that as Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper proving they're still choke artists in big games. If you want to call these big games, which baseball does and they did not get her done.

So a lot going on we talked earlier about Max Crosby as he is back to the Raiders. A lot of people very upset in the NFL and it's telling the NFL general managers many of them appear to be upset because they know what the Ravens are doing is dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty so we'll talk more about that later on but our lead this hour is from pro bouncy ball now you know if you listen to this show on regular basis for us to talk about pro bouncy ball

24:04in the month of March something like really crazy has to happen something really really crazy has to be taken place there some kind of accomplishment well that happened there was an historic performance and I assume you've been paying attention here and you know what we're talking about but there's a chance that maybe you missed it somehow you were not paying attention maybe we're watching the world baseball classic the Italians taking down team you in the world baseball classic not eliminated but embarrassing not eliminated but embarrassing for team USA and so with that being said the story get to the point please so the story is bam bam out of bio who bam out of bio the Miami Heat Big Man just your generic NBA Big Man scored let's see how many points do you score 50 points no 55 points double nickels no how about 60 do I hear 60 how about 65 do I hear 70 70 from the woman in the back no do I hear 75 75 from the fat guy with the cigar no 83 points

25:08bam bam 83 points against the Wizards which I'm told is an NBA team but not really I'm told an NBA team but not really that is the second most points in NBA history let me repeat that last part because it seems somewhat interesting that is the second most 83 points there have only there's only one person that scored more points in an NBA game the goat the greatest of them all will Chamberlain and now bam out of bio so the story here is he passed Kobe Bryant 20 years ago a little over 20 years Kobe Bryant had 81 points against the Toronto Raptors on a Sunday night at the arena then called Staples Center a rag tag Laker team which I believe were down by double digits at halftime against Toronto and they won that game and Kobe Bryant ended up with the 81 point performance and so now bam out of bio has passed Kobe and not the all-time record will Chamberlain still has the all-time record

26:13considering the reputation or lack thereof of bam out of bio he's had how many games is here with less than 10 points seven seven games where he scored less than 10 points and now he goes out and puts up an 80 83 point game yeah but considering that and also the opponent here and how all of this went down as much as I would love to sit here behind the bully pulpit in the Benny Brightside and just sing sweet little buys about how amazing bam out of bio was the problem I watched the game if I hadn't watched the game and I just you know and watching the the score and looking at the box scores oh wow we oh man wow we because we that's so exciting but I watched the game that's the problem and so there's a lot of people that are like well

27:14this is not a great accomplishment how how could this not be a great accomplishment you don't know ball 83 points so some trying to diminish the the performance so that's a good jumping off point let us discuss the question for the class as we discuss this what is the word what is the word for Miami Heat Center bam out of bio scoring 83 points the second most in NBA regular season history or playoff history the way that he did it for the heat now what's the word so my observations I've got skid row sleeper cell and checking account and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make the reading rainbow is what I'm gonna make all right so number one number one yeah so my word is deplorable with a capital D deplorable as in an absolute jumbo sized basket

28:22of deplorables the whole entire thing smells else stinko is the the phrase that I will use the Miami Heat and again this is something like if you're look if you're not a knowledgeable fan you don't watch ball you don't understand I get it you're like all excited you know you got your face paint your your Miami Heat onesy you're all excited but we watched the game and that's problematic so the heat were up I think it was 25 or 26 points or something like that and the Miami Heat were intentionally fouling the Washington Wizards players on the in bounds just so bam out of bio would have more opportunities to get the ball I'm not I'm not making this they want to have more possession so the Miami Heat who are up by 26 we're doing hack a not hack a shack because he's long gone but hack a wizard hack a wizard it's like something from Harry Potter that that's what they were doing and that I'm supposed to sit here and celebrate that the Miami Heat up 26

29:26are trying to elongate the game so bam out of bio can get a record my fat ass they also missed foul shots intentionally they intent the Miami Heat intentionally missed foul shots so again more opportunities missing foul shots on purpose it wasn't basketball it was the dumbing down the dumbing down of the NBA record book you want a fun fact on dumbing down I got a fun fact for you did you know the term dumbing down came from Hollywood when they were making movies and if things were too complex the studio executives would say dumb it down for the people that bought tickets because they thought their customers were idiots and so they had to make everything elementary so the term dumbing down as a movie term from early Hollywood array for Hollywood anyway look that up I think I'm running I think I'm running so no but you got the wizards here the wizards who are one

30:28of the many tanking tumbleweeds of the NBA just kind of floating like a tumbleweed down the country road just floating along not trying to win not trying to win they want lottery balls right everyone knows what's going on there's about 13 teams of bakers dozen that are not trying to win in the NBA and they roll out a lineup the wizards that look like a collection of middle aged leftovers from a late Saturday at the YMCA that's the Washington Wizards right there and we are told they're I say this in their quotes their coach so many named Brian Keefe he's standing there in the sidelines with this aw shucks look on his head what do you do I'm come on keep on the wizards now they're culpable as well they did not attempt to double team bam out of bio until midway through the fourth quarter he had 40 points at halftime they didn't say well maybe we should adjust here

31:33because they weren't trying to win the game hello yeah and then it was so comical they were doing three against one so you had three guys guarding bam out of bio and then you had the two other guys on the wizards who were just kind of dancing around I guess that's the the three and two zone what's not even zone it's like three on one and then just two other people fluts it around and all that stuff and meanwhile while all this is going on in the fourth quarter the games long over the wizards aren't even trying to win the game they're conceding the game and then you have bam out of bio being force fed the ball like he's Joey Chestnut at the fourth of July hot dog eating contest the the glizzy glober just going for it there just just trying to attack as much as he can shoveling in 43 43 attempts at the foul line 43 that is not just a record that is a trip to skid row for the NBA and when I say skid row I'm talking about our favorite truck driver truck stop fungus

32:39who is wearing his tidy whiteies but this is a skid mark is what this is on the NBA does anyone disagree is anyone I see no one raising their hand this is a skid mark on the NBA what bam out of bio did it's embarrassing it's absolutely embarrassing is it memorable yeah is it historic no it is not historic it's synthetic it's kind of like going and walking around and Ikea and you know they got all the displays they've got the the sofa display section they got the the office section they've got the the kitchen section like going into the kitchen section while you're walking around Ikea and grabbing one of those plastic apples and saying okay yeah that's my meal that's dinner no it's not that's not it's not real it's not real but wait there's more now have you heard as we turn the picture have you heard the conspiracy that is going on with

33:39this bam out of bio so you're not okay good so there is a conspiracy theory that what led to bam out of bio having an 83 point performance for the Miami Heat these the greatest modern performance will Chamberlain of course million years ago and back back of the day but at the fact that in the history of basketball bam out of bio his performance here and what he was able to do and how little he had done up until this point six he had actually 16 points a game I believe was the the number in the history of the NBA and the entire history of league somebody with that kind of stat line had never even scored 60 in an NBA game and bam goes out there and scores 80 so let's get to the conspiracy through 83 was his number so question is it true that heat coach Eric Spolstra coach Spau heat coach Eric Spolstra orchestrated orchestrated bam out of bio's historic

34:39performance as pay back to a franchise legend developing hot dot dot dot so now I'm gonna wear my tinfoil hat just imagine I've got a tinfoil hat on a slight that down here nice hat thank you so both Eric Spolstra and bam out of bio in their post game referenced comments made by flash now not the actual superhero flash no no no the basketball version the guy that has a statue that looks nothing like him outside the arena in Miami that that guy yeah the forefather of the glory days of the Miami heat Dwayne Wade uh Dwayne Wade so Dwayne Wade did some interview on a podcast for friends and family recently and Wade said that he had visited Miami on paraphrasing this but he had visited Miami the heat were missing a star player he said who could bring a certain quote buzz

35:46to the city and he implied that Miami just wasn't buying into the Miami heat because they did not have that star that got people excited that things were a little sleepy when it came to the heat and by the way Dwayne Wade is not wrong he's not wrong Tyler Hiro and bam out of bio do not move the needle they don't they don't move the needle so Miami's a middling team they're a middling team the eastern conference is not very good they're a jet J A T just a team that's the Miami nevertheless the conspiracy is that that commentary was so upsetting the coach spoke and to bam out of bio is their former teammate and in case of obviously supposed to was the coach and bam out of bio and and Wade know each other very well and all right so so that they were upset and these comments were kind of a big deal in that world we're not in that world but that was a big deal so that was a CTA

36:52situation a call to action situation activating the sleeper cell and the result was what happened in the game on Tuesday night that's it so I buy that I buy that air expulsora and bam out of bio were opportunists there are opportunists they didn't know going into the game that this opportunity would present themselves I'm not going to I'm not going to go that far to say that this was rigged from the league office however all right they took advantage of the tomato cans from DC they should really change the wizard should change their name and contact the Harlem Globetrotters and see if they can get that Washington Generals name that's really what they need living up to the legacy of Washington basketball yeah why not the heat in this game they never trail they never trail in this game the game was over from jump street and despite holding a commanding lead 25 26 points something like that in the fourth quarter the heat did not pull bam out of bio until very late in

37:59the fourth quarter very very late in the fourth quarter allowing him to get the most bogus stat line you've ever seen in the history of the NBA there the second highest single game point total in the history of the association and it's all because de Wade said there's no buzz and the star players don't really do anything for the people who are sports fans in Miami and Wade takes a shot at them and all of a sudden this happens and let me ask you question is that heat culture is that the heat culture like what are we doing here seriously so where the bell coach spoke and bam out of bio the shame bell shame shame shame shame yeah now the the heat culture if that's heat culture they have sunk to a new low if that's the Miami heat and of course I know the way this works in over time the low information fan doesn't remember the nuance they only remember the outcome right they'll see the 83 point game they'll fail to mention the fact that there's some context involved in

39:04this and it always gets lost over time and I know we talked a lot over the years about the greatest scandal in my lifetime the cheating ass one one thousand two one thousand holes and I'll bring that up and people say why are you still talking about that they won the world series just let it go and all that because people can't handle nuance because they're morons they're dumb dumb they can't handle it so I said those details will vanish over time then bam out of bio the ridiculousness of this will vanish and only certain people will remember what we all know in the moment and things certain things get stored away and other things go away and they don't make it to that lasting memory art now final point to the zebras question what should the NBA do about the officiating crew of ben taylor pat frayer and deedrick taylor after the bam out of bio 83 point konga line to the charity stripe it was a free throw jamboree

40:09is what it was in this game and NBA record for attempts NBA record for make foul shots in this game so my answer on what the NBA should do with these guys is simple you send ben taylor pat frayer i believe that's his name and deedrick taylor send those guys a box of chocolates and a rule book an NBA rule book old school not on a tablet an actual rule book preferably the one they ignored the one they ignored in this game fouls are judgment calls you are never supposed to call every foul you have to be able to let the game breathe you don't call everything you have to swallow a whistle at times that's a grown up referee these guys have a bunch of amateurs a bunch of amateurs right these schmendrix the three horsemen of the NBA statistical apocalypse out there galloping through the game with whistles blazing right it's like they just discovered a new toy we let's call a foul we oh somebody breathed on bam out of bio foul oh my god

41:15someone's in his same zip code call a foul dumb dumb's bam out of bio didn't just get to the foul line he opened a checking account at merchants bank even sga thought that was egregious what happened to that game even even shade yoga salad is like oh my god you're a you're a merchant it's ridiculous 36 of 43 from the foul line that is not a stat line that is a membership plan is what you got all kinds of records were absolutely vaporized here and yet if you're honest out of bio again he didn't do it alone the Washington Wizards were part of this they're in competence the coach with the aw shucks body language I don't know what to do and then you've got the referees over there that were like the lookout person and the getaway driver that was the referees and Washington just any kind of if if a little bit of sweat got on bam that was a foul

42:17if one of the guys on the wizards checked out a hot girl in the crowd that was a foul the whole thing so using mal or math and I watched the entire second half I didn't watch a second of the first half but watch the entire second half 65% of the foul calls were softer than a marshmallow in July in Arizona okay and so yes the league why not you investigate everything else not that anything's going to come of this but you might as well investigate it it was so bad that it made you think that something funny was going on yeah I know the NBA not they don't really care about credibility anymore because of load management and yet coaches advocating for less games because the players are soft and all this is embarrassing but the the message should be simple stay in your lane now is it possible that they just got carried carried away in the moment do you think somebody from the mob got a hold of them I don't know what it why I've no idea just look so shady that it makes you wonder and there have been games where people have fixed stats and whatnot and that's going on
