Tiger Woods Driving, NBA Punishes Clippers

0:00All right, so we start out number two. I am Jim Rome. This show is presented to you by Fandall. Probably could not do exactly what we do without Fandall. So my appreciation to them, we will have our Fandall segment tomorrow with James Kelly. We've got ball legitimate ball, great ball. Lots of things to talk about tomorrow on our Fandall segment with James Kelly. So look forward to that. All right. My thanks to Buddha Baker again. I'm still getting a kick out of it. A few things come to mind when I think about Buddha, great player. I didn't get into it with him today. And I'm not saying he's there yet, but my guy is trending positively, I think, for a yellow jacket. Not there yet. And it is challenging based on who he's played for because frankly, they've had no success. Well, he's been there virtually no success yet. He shows up every single year in Desuay does. He makes the pro bowl puts up huge numbers. And as he points out, going into your 10, he feels like he's in better shape than he's ever been in. He feels absolutely awesome.

1:00He's optimistic. You know, put together a couple of more years like the years he's already had. And we're talking about a guy I think who's going to end up in canon for sure. My only question then is who is the one who does the speech for him? Woody. Who Woody is friends with Buddha Baker. I mean, damn, Woody, what's next? Are you in Josh Allen hanging out? I don't know about that. But then again, again, Alan, Jim, nothing that my man Woody all born. From Eagle River does will ever, ever, ever surprise me. All right. So there is that we talked about Lane Kiffin. Smoke, we talked bleep like Lane Kiffin. There was an excerpt in Vanity Fair from a book that's about to drop about Lane Kiffin and his years at Tuscaloosa. And what I'm saying is this guy, he's saying for the record, I'm all about the chaos. That's pretty much where I live. That's what I do. I'm comfortable. I mean, it's one thing to say, you know, the old phrase, you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

2:01My man is never more comfortable than when he's right in the middle of the chaos. Well, there's a lot more chaos now with this book dropping. I read the excerpt in our number one. If you want to react to that, go ahead. I've got Mark Trumbo coming up at the top of our number three, the angels. Arty Moreno made the best decision that he has made in a very, very long time. The decision to sell his team. That was a great decision. Not that he had much choice. When you go to the yard every single night and you hear a chance of sell the team, sell the team, what choice do you really have? And when you've had no success whatsoever. And when you've had two of the greatest players in the history of Major League Baseball as teammates in their prime for a six year period and you have nothing to show for it. Other than rats, a possum, a monkey and a horrible anthem from train.

3:02You got to sell the team, especially with a valuation of four billion man, cash the hell out. And now you know you made the right decision. When no sooner than it's announced, those same fans that would show up and chant sell the team, sell the team are then chanting goodbye. Arty, good by already. You know, the crazy thing about it, people forget when he first bought the team, he actually had success. They were going to the postseason with regularity and then it all went to hell. So the only thing better than him selling that team is who we sold that team to. Stan Kronke because that guy said success. I mean, it's one thing to say that already was successful. He was successful enough to purchase that team. But Kronke is way more successful. Lot more money, lot more success.

4:03And this guy wins. Unlike already, he wants to win. And he wins championships. And he wins championships almost in anything that he buys across sports. This is the best thing that could ever happen to the angels. Best thing that could happen to the angels was already selling. The second best thing that could happen or maybe the best thing was Kronke buying. It's perfect. So we're getting to that too. Mark Trumbo played for the angels. In fact, he grew up here locally. So we will talk to him about that. Next topic. If you're getting ready for a nice long drive right now, you're probably not Tiger Woods. You're probably not Tiger Woods. Get me a drive right now. You're probably not Tiger Woods. Now here is the good news for the cat. At least he can put that messy car flipping DUI in the rear view mirror right now. Well, not literally.

5:04This all explained in a second. However, the cat was in court today and played guilty to lesser charges stemming from that March incident in Florida. Even though this is far from the first incident like this for the cat, he still managed to cut a sweet deal bumping down his two misdemeanor charges to just reckless driving and refusal to submit a lawful test. Considering this dude is a repeat cereal offender, this is a nice break for the cat. Considering they found this dude, Isaac Kite with two loose hydrocodone pills in his pocket, I would say it's pretty fortunate to even have the chance to reduce those charges. Give my guy neighing it out. If you're watching on the stream, neighing it out, sweating profusely, I mean, all things insane, trying to tell officers, I was just on the phone with the president.

6:07I'm stuck in the president. The Range Rover was fully on its side. This dude was so sweaty and so piled up. He had to take that knee to explain to the officers that he just happened to look down on his phone and boom. Next to you know, the car is on side and he's crawling out the window. Then they put him in the back of the squad car and he looked like he was taking a trip around the moon. So yes, I would say the cat locked out on this deal. There is a catch however, look at that car. How jacked up would you have to be for your car to end up on a side like that? In a residential area on this narrow road, somehow his rig ends up on a side. How fast would you have to be going and how piled up out of your mind allegedly would you have to be to end up neighing it out while your SUV is on its side.

7:10Now, he had thought he just was like in victory formation. He thought he won the masters. Thought he had another major. I'm just neighing it out. I'm in victory formation. Bro, how piled up would you have to be to think you were in victory formation when your car is lying on its side and the other guy, the other driver of the other rig is just absolutely beleaguered like I don't even know what that will happen. I just pulled out and there's tiger woods neighing it out in victory formation with his rig on its side. Now, there is a catch. Catch is the cat can't drive for five years. Not one, not two, not three, not four, five years. So at least there is that. At least you won't see the cat. You won't see cat on the road anymore, mate. At least the biggest menace on the road will be off the road for at least a half

8:12a decade. Big exhale for the rest of us and cat. If you never ever want to get behind the wheel ever again, we're behind you on that one too, buddy. I have to admit, banning him from the roads for five years is an even better solution than my solution, which was the so called cat alarm. This was my idea. The whole idea, and this is the cat alarm. I have proprietary interest on this. I patented this. This is mine. The whole and now we get to taste because we kind of collaborated. The whole idea of the cat alarm was to install this alarm that you're hearing right now on all of Tiger's vehicles. So anytime he drives down the street, anybody can hear him coming because everybody will be able to hear this.

9:13You know, kind of like a breathalyzer attached to the ignition. My idea was more of a forward warning to anybody else on the road. When you're driving down the road, you would hear and know that Tiger Woods was on the same road as you would do whatever the hell you had to do to get off the road entirely. But even better. And I thought that was a great idea. Now, I was just about to come to market with that. That was going to be a Walmart. That was going to be everywhere. Every dealership. Believe me, that was going to be me off the air in about five minutes. For good. But now, now all my buyers are saying, Rome, we don't need it. We don't need that on the shelves because he's off the road. He's off the road for five years. I guess in a way, I shouldn't be so greedy. Even better to just keep the cat off the road entirely.

10:15You don't need the alarm if the guy's down on the road. So clearly a necessary punishment, but that's got to be brutal for Tiger because we all know his favorite activity is flipping cars. Imagine this guy facing the reality of five years without being able to flip any cars or drive any cars into any ditches or get his car, drive over to Perkins and get nice in the parking lot with a waitress in his car. Well, he can still do that. I think as long as he can prove that somebody else drove him there. But still five years without an opportunity to roll a whip or put it on the side of the road or put it on its side or put it in a ditch. Man, that's a bitter pill to swallow. And I'm not talking about one of those hydrocodone pills. Now, there is one big question in all of this. Does it apply to golf carts?

11:16Can the cat drive a golf cart? We know he can't drive a car, but can he drive a golf cart or does the five year ban apply to golf carts as well? Does he have to blow into a breathalyzer in the ignition on the golf cart? I would argue no driving means no driving because I could also argue you can flip a golf cart even more easily than you can flip a car. And golf carts can be dangerous as hell. Not as dangerous as flipping a Range Rover or Genesis or being found by police asleep at the wheel or having your wife chase you down the street with your nine. But still dangerous. TMZ seemed confident earlier this morning that no driving for five years. Means no golf carts for five years.

12:16They posted exclusive Tiger Woods plea deal includes driving golf carts. Now that'd be brutal. That would be a brutal blow for Tiger if true because we all know the dude does not move around very well. And he more, we know this. Thanks, of course, to the way he messed up his leg the last time he flipped a car. So he's got to be pretty dependent on golf carts to get around the course these days, right? Get around anywhere, especially if you can't drive a car. I mean his neighborhood, the store, the pharmacy, wherever he's got to go. Look, if there are no golf carts, I mean, where do we draw the line? How about those stupid scooters that you can drop anywhere on the road when you're done with them? Is he allowed on those? Can he ride a bike? Can he ride a skateboard? Can he rock a pair of kicks that kids had back in the day with those little wheels on the back that allowed them to glide down the sidewalk?

13:22Can he roller skate? Can he operate anything with any wheel at all? Luckily for Tiger, TMZ slightly jumped the gun on this one because the Martin County prosecutors office had a press conference today where the prosecutor was asked point blank. If the five-year ban included golf carts, and this was his answer. Oh my God, that's a great question. Actually, you, yeah, I think you could, can you drive a golf? You know what? You got me. Well, I have to look into that. I'll get back to you. I know you cannot drive a golf cart while impaired on the roads because it is a vehicle, but I don't, my gut reaction is going to be no. But great question. And if you give Christine your information, I'll get back to you. Wow, dude.

14:23Yeah, you might want to have that one locked and loaded. How did you not know that question was coming? Great question. Yes. This dude's like, oh my God. Wow, great question. Oh my God. I don't know, dude. Maybe you figured that one out before you actually get beyond those microphones. Seems like a pretty relevant question. Seems like a question that you probably should have known was coming. Wow, what a question. Just blew my mind. Got me there. Wow, dude, how did you even come up? With such a brilliant question. Hey, you know what? Leave me information with Christine. I'll get back to you. Bro, the case involves literally the most famous golfer who ever lived, who is half crippled because he keeps flipping cars. And nobody thought about golf carts, possibly coming up as a question and whether or not they've pertained to a five year license suspension, not to pile on Florida,

15:26but Florida much. Pretty important question, pretty important question for Tiger 2 because the judge made it very clear to the cat today. There are no exceptions. His five year ban is for the safety of the public. And if you were to drive for any reason, even once he's going right back to jail, listen to the judge. So I wish to understand the time he's driving is for the safety of the public. There are no exceptions. If you were to lie for any reason, you know, we'll meet in the next week. Unlike other dude, unlike other home slice, the judge was pretty clear on that, pretty certain on that you drive again, even once quote, you're going immediately back to jail. Now one of those, well, what if he drives once? Oh my God, great question. Um, Christine, do you know?

16:30That judge, that judge just said it. Hey, listen, cat, five years means five years. You drive once, you're going right back to jail. Imagine a situation where this dude gets ripped off a golf cart, ripped off the course, mid-round and taken immediately to jail. Like somebody saw him driving and then tip the judge off. And they say you pull his ass right off that track right now. He's going right to jail. Imagine if Tiger could somehow find a way to outdo hefty and get ripped off the course, mid-round in even more spectacular fashion, then hefty got ripped off the course mid-round. Ripped off his cart off the course and went immediately to jail. Do not pass, go, do not collect 200 bucks. You go right to jail.

17:30That would be more spectacular than even that hermit hefty because hefty was ripped off his home track mid-round and kicked out of the club, but they didn't always ask off the jail. But they will the cat if he drives himself to the course. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the cat is allowed on a cart. I'm just relieved, even though it's going to cost me a lot of money because that cat alarm is going to make me rich as L. But you know what? It's not about me being rich as L. It's about the roads being safe for everybody else. So it's just good to know that we're not going to see him on the road. He's off the road and we're relieved. I'm relieved we all get five years of peace of mind when we're behind the wheel. I'm just relieved that the state of Florida came up with a better solution than my cat alarm, which I thought was the best solution ever, but I have to admit Florida did one up me

18:32because as much as I love my cat alarm, I like the cat off the road entirely even more. Actually, actually, if the dude is allowed to drive golf carts, we should actually install the cat alarm in his golf cart. So other golfers know that this dude's coming on the path. Same menace less horse power, but horrible things have happened to people in horrible golf cart accidents. I'm just not trusting this dude behind the wheel of anything at all. I think I think the patterning of that cat alarm is going to pay off. I'm still going to sell that to everybody. All right, so that's what we're going to do. Albi, that's our new plan. We're going to install the cat alarm in golf carts. Just not actual vehicles. I'm going to go find, I got the, I'm going to set this up. It's going to be good. So on a golf cart, on a golf course, you'll know when the cats around.

19:35Hey, believe me, man, you don't want him to flip that thing over in front of you. You don't want him running into you. If you're walking on the golf path, path, cart path. Anyway, I would consider this a good day. Good day for him because that worked out pretty well. Given who he is and what he's done. Good day for everybody on the roads. Good day for me. My candle alarm is still alive. I can still sell that win, win, win, win. Keep that, Albi. We're going to need that. We're going to sell a million of those things. And then you're never going to see me again. You'll see Vance Mac mate on a beach. 1,800, 636, 86, 86. All right. So two big topics right there. You got Lane, you've got Eldrick. I've got more. I've got Happy Valley. And again, Happy Valley. I know we have a station there.

20:35I appreciate that we have a station there. I am not in the business of alienating my affiliates. I'm just in fact, I'm here to help you. I just think that you're in this bubble. And some of you do things and say things in Happy Valley that do not make people happy outside of Happy Valley. Now, I know you don't care, but I'm just saying I've got that 30,000 view, 30,000 foot view that I just want to let you know what the reaction is going to be. So you are prepared for the reaction to what you're pushing out there right now. In other words, I'm looking out for you. Happy Valley. Yeah, I'm pretty sick of talking about the Browns. Honestly, but the monkey is still doing a monkey type things like admitting I didn't watch any film of the Sean Watson in any of his games that he played here before I got here because he's elite. It's what he said. So I've got thoughts on that too.

You know, this has been a fascinating week where there's all of these stories that are breaking. They don't see it coming. We knew there had to be resolution to this, but I did not expect this kind of resolution today. But we've been tracking this, right? We've been waiting on powder and the clippers and the investigation. Now what was really interesting before I tell you what the story is and the outcome and the details are trickling out. But remember the investigation. Remember they were negotiating the investigation. That was really curious to me. Like what kind of an investigation is it if you get to negotiate the outcome of the investigation?

24:45That's not a punishment. You don't negotiate your punishment. Well, the investigation apparently is done. And the negotiation to me did not go very well for the clippers. According to Shams, this is where he just posted breaking the NBA has ruled on the Los Sanctuous Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on quiet lettered after a year long probe, stripping the franchise of five first round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Balmer and suspensions for Balmer, Lawrence Frank and Joanne Zucker, sources tell ESPN. It goes on quote, quiet Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the clippers for his uncle and former business rep Dennis Robertson.

25:48No contract void or suspension for Leonard and Robertson who was fired by Leonard in June is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings. Other notes. First of all, five first round picks and a $30 million fine. You might argue 30 million, 30 million. I'm going to argue that to Balmer, 30 million is walk around money. 30 million to Balmer is five bucks due in me. That won't hurt. I mean, 30 million, 30 million. You're going to say it's going to hurt Rome. It's 30 million. If you're a multi billionaire, it's really not going to hurt that much. The five first round picks, that's going to hurt like hell. That's going to really hurt. That's how you hurt a billionaire. You can't hurt a billionaire by finding a billionaire. How much would you have to find a billionaire to hurt a billionaire? You want to hurt a billionaire? Rip draft picks.

26:49Five first round draft picks. That will hurt. Five. It goes on clippers owner, Steve Balmer is suspended from all league and team activities. For one year. All right. So Balmer gets five first round picks ripped, find 30 million and suspended from all league and team activities for one year for knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off court income opportunities for approving a business deal that he knew was a precondition for aspiration to enter into an endorsement agreement with Mr. Leonard and for his failure to create conditions under which his organization abided by the MBA's circumvention rules. End of quote. In other words, he knowingly circumvented the cap. What happened to I'm not a God scammed.

27:51I'm not a God. God. They can't be. They can't be. They can't be. Nobody is buying that. Including powder. They caught me. I made an investment. They caught me. Really? If they caught you, then why are you now without 30,000? Five first round draft picks and you're suspended for an entire year. And what amazing it was when powder shows up, rolls up and bands, Donald Sterling for life for life. And not only bands him for life, but can install. Steve Balmer is the owner of that team, like the richest guy in the world, the most credible guy in the world. Like this is amazing. Wow, powder. You're incredible. And now this dude is bad, not for life, but for a year and five first round picks, five and 30 mil. And by the way, for all that cheating from that nonsense,

28:51what do they have to show for it? Nothing. They've won nothing. The circumvention of the cap. All these things and they have nothing. And they're without five first round picks and 30 mil. And he's banned for a year. Powder said quote, the NBA's collectively bargain system for determining player compensation is a fundamental component of the basketball competition that the league oversees for the benefit of the teams and players and ultimately the fans. I am deeply disappointed by the flagrant violations of our rules and by the clippers institutional and leadership failures that led to this misconduct. The severity of the penalties reflects the seriousness of the violations. Very clearly powder is not buying. I got caught. They caught me thinking it was on the up and up and they can be.

29:55Now the thinking was not on the up and up and you were not gone. You cheated. You got caught. You got hammered. How would I be able to look? They can't meet. Oh, they called you. They called you. Kauai is gone with a statement on Instagram. Quote integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. Let me stop you right there. Kauai. First of all, first of all, my response to your first sentence of your official statement, integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. My response. Apparently not my dude. If that were the case. Your former team would not be without five first round picks and your former owner would not be without 30 mil and your former owner would not be suspended along with some other execs for a year.

30:56So no integrity and respect for this game are not fundamental to who you are. And you fired your uncle Dennis as your rep. Is he fired as your uncle or just as your rep? He goes on. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle. Here we go. Bro, that is not accepting full responsibility. That's running your inner circle under the bus and accepting no responsibility. This is already one of the worst statements ever. And I'm aiming through the second sentence. Let me go back to the top integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle and regret the distraction.

31:57This situation has caused the fans and my family. Who the hell wrote that way to own none of that. Family quote. I entered into my contract with the clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith. Let me take a moment and respond to that too. Boy, you're going to tell me you really, really had no idea that this was not on the up and up. That this was not legit. Are you that dumb? Didn't know or didn't want to know. All these millions of dollars just all of a sudden from this company, you know, nothing about that you did nothing with. It quite explained that before I finished your statement. How were you able to get millions of dollars from a company that you did no work for?

33:01And yet you don't think that that's sketchy. You don't think that's suspect. You don't think that's slimy. You don't think that's against the rules. You think that's good faith. You just got that advice that people around you let you down and you're sorry for that. I entered into my contract with the clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith fully committed to fulfilling my obligations and with no knowledge of any intent on anyone's part to circumvent the salary cap. Are you kidding? Again, you made all that money for never showing up, never doing any work for at least one company and maybe more, but it never dawned in you to ask, hold on now. They're just going to give me millions of dollars. And I don't have to do a damn thing.

34:02I don't have to represent at all. And that's not a way around the salary cap. That's not illegal. That's not sketchy that they're just doing this because I'm quite lettered and I'm great. Come on, dude. Stop with that. He goes on for 15 years. My priority has been giving everything to my family, the game and those I share the court with. As I return to Toronto, I am focused on what I can control, closing this chapter and moving forward with a clean slate, quite lettered. That might be the worst statement I have ever seen. Ever. No apology, no contrition, no responsibility, no acceptance, no accountability. And an implied yo LA peace.

35:03I'm out. Wouldn't want to be a sea is I return to Toronto. Bro, this dude, this dude all, but through the victim card. I had nothing. I mean, this is the equivalent of Balmer sitting on ESP dancing. I was what we're gone. Look, they come. They come on me. They come on me. They come on me. My inner circle let me down. My own uncle turned on me. I'm one who's got to pay the ultimate price, the restitution. I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't know anything about this. You know, it's really weird to me. Powder must be buying this on some level because he's really not penalizing him at all. He ripped the draft picks from the Clippers.

36:03He suspended the owner for a year. He fined the owner 30 mil, but he's certainly not suspending quite Leonard. He's not making him miss any time. He's only saying he's got to pay 700 grand in restitution. Yeah, quiet is not seem sorry at all. Why is not accepting any of this at all? Why is running everybody around him under the bus? Why is I peace? I'm out of here LA. Nice knowing you. I'm going back to Toronto. I'm moving forward. Look, what I love the way at the end of this too. I am closing this chapter and moving forward with a clean slate. No, you're not, dude. There is no clean slate with you. This is going to stick to you. Especially, I part about, I had no knowledge. I do intent on circumventing the salary cap. Man, if you didn't know, you're either dumb or you didn't want to know. And I find it impossible to believe that you didn't know.

37:04But how could you not know again? Nobody's paying out that kind of money for somebody to do nothing. No name, no likeness, no commercials, no, I'm an ambassador for. That seems like they're funneling you money under the table is a way to circumvent the cap. Is that down at the very definition of circumventing the cap, getting stacks and stacks and stacks of paper for doing nothing? Didn't none of us know anything about? Is that not a textbook definition of circumventing the cap? Obviously powder thoughts, though. Wow, but, but, but, but, but, but. At least they have championships to show for it. No, they don't, they haven't won anything. Not even close. Not even close. Wow. All right. So we knew at some point that investigation would finish being negotiated and apparently

38:08it has. So more on that as details become available. Five first round picks, 30 mil and a one year suspension for the guy who is going to be the best thing that ever happened after they ran stirling off. Hmm. Tanky. Why owning none of it? None of it. All right. Your reaction when we come back. Stay tuned. You're listening to that gym room show. Dayport now here. Football is here in so is draftings.

If you've ever noticed it, every single story involving Kauai and there are a lot of them.

40:14Every single story involving Kauai ends with Kauai walking away laughing. Like nothing six to this guy. Great. He's got a scratch check for 700. And who cares? Just set it. I'm only going to control what I can't control and I'm going to go to Toronto and start with a clean slate. Like nothing sticks to this guy. Every single Kauai story ends with him walking away laughing his ass off. So he scratches a 700,000 dollar check in restitution. But gets to go to Toronto. So again, what are the clips have to show for this? They won nothing and now the guy's gone. Hope that was worth it. And as always, it was not man. You can't help a wonder when you see this go down with the clippers.

41:16How will they ever, ever change? Ever for all the drama, the Lakers have had. How will the clippers ever, ever, ever be anything other than the Lakers, JV? How will the clippers ever, ever, ever win anything at all? Like I don't believe in curses. But how can you not look at them and think that they're not cursed? Well, and they cheat and they lie and they circumvent. No, we don't. We got caught. Look, they caught me. Oh, oh, you got caught. One of the richest guys, one of the smartest guys ever. Oh, you got caught. You got caught by a tree company. Oh, okay. Thinking it was on the up and up and they caught me. At Chris covers comics in the chat. Bra, I raced into this stream so fast. L M A O. I had to hear the Rome take on this. The clippers are freaking cooked.

42:20They are. There's Vick and no Cal. Quote. We cheated the cap, but it's almost like they caught me. Side OJ, Bulmer. Ron and Nicole were physically dead. And it's almost like they killed me. They're on the up and up. It's pretty good, Vick. Aaron and Iowa can't spell. Why without AI? I don't know. I know a lot of you think that that was an AI generated statement. I don't even know what the robots could craft something that horrible. I mean, Conor McGregor could have written that. I accept full responsibility for absolutely nothing. To quiet letter does whatever the hell he wants. Screw you, L.A. Here I come, Toronto.

43:21Mark Trumbo when we come back.
