bet on NFL games on the radio? Okavio Mike Madonno, okay, that
is a good option. We'll write him down his option one. What about
Mark Cuban? What about Mark Cuban? Mark Cuban would be great again,
probably not gonna come on to give us two picks, Probably won't come on
the Home of the What if we talked some MAVs with him. I always
think that we can get us a leb and like kind of just get him
on and then what just throw in at the end if they have any NFL
plays they might be interested in. Yeah, very strange, right, Mark
Choir, I have one. Who do you got Mark Stein? All right?

Oh got it. His answers do go on forever. He loves himself too.
Yeah. I kind of want someone who doesn't have any like self esteem.
Okay, so there's that Mavericks spurs tonight here on the Freak, and
I will start out with some bad news before we get to what happened at
the MAVs team hotel. That is more funny to me than bad news.
Luca on his calf injury from Brad Townsend in the Dallas Morning News. Lucas
said it's good, but he's been battling calf and then a thigh injury.
Lucas said, it's good. I have no idea if they're related. You'll
have to ask the doctor. Were still figuring out what a thigh injury is.
It's off and on. It's a weird thing. I really don't know
how to explain it. It's something weird. But it's better than it was
for sure. Townsend wrote. If Luca is able to play tonight, it
will mark his first sustained court time this year. With Kyrie Irving, they
only played six minutes and fifty one seconds together in the opening preseason game,
and then Kyrie missed the next two games with a groin injury. Now,
I ain't gonna be the jerk that it's like we should fight through a groin
injury in the preseason, but it is concerning that they only get six minutes
and fifty one seconds of playing time together. It sounds like the end of
last season. Yeah, and you couldn't get them both on the court at
the same time. Kid and his staff have stressed pushing the ball up court
and playing in a faster tempo, which means Luca won't have the ball in
his hands as much. Lucas said that's fined by him reminds him of his
early days at Real Madrid. He also said that, Uh, practicing and
faster and a faster tempo has been really good for condition and things like that.
He's been talking about. Him and Kyrie have already talked about how they're
gonna exchange ball handling duties and things like that. Casualaying that on there now
because we haven't talked MAVs really at all the last two weeks, and normally
we are kind of in that mode before the season starts because the Rangers normally
aren't in the playoffs, much less the World Series. And hey, yeah,
much as the World Series had taken the town by storm. So when
the Raiders took the town hostage, I'm not saying I forgot about the Mavericks.
I'm saying not top of mind at all. I'm excited about tonight,
excited about the season. I'm concerned about the season highly. But let's go
to what happened last night. So the Mavericks are staying allegedly at the Thompson
in San Antonio. This is all alleged. There's a Twitter account and it's
a guy who does not have a lot of followers, twelve hundred followers from
California. And here's his bio on Twitter. It's at Ted Buddy eight,
Basketball football editor, media insider and content provider video content. I'm here for
the memes, Ted Bundy Ted Buddy eight. Now he does not show the
Snapchat account of the person that posted this, but they sounds super flimsy,
dude, It does until you look at the evidence and go looks real.
Here's his post. Spurs fan took the matchup information from Kyrie Irving's door at
the hotel they're staying at. The snapchat post is from a a Spurs fan
and he's edited out the Snapchat handle of the Spurs fan. It says,
the Dallas Mavericks are staying on my floor. The papers are all Spurs data
on players and stats. So you move it on and you see like stats
of players and then you go the next tweet from Ted Budwell and it's from
the snapchat of the same guy, and he's posted some scouting reports of Spurs
players, including the funny one to me is guard Trey Jones at which the
Mavericks label him an elephant and it says we can attack him. But it
also says little things like ball handler off the bench, good distributor, lead
team and assists last season right drivers. The right handed driver loves the floater
with his right hand when he gets into the paint. Not a good three
point shooter. He's an elephant. We can attack him. Doug McDermott laser
point shooter. Last season elephant pour on ball. Defender attack him. I
mean these are very basically believe this elephant is their term for poor defender.
Attack the elephants. Yes, laser means shooter. The other words that are
bolded are right and left, which would show you know, the tendency to
go yes if they're right handed things having a hard time. Sorry, buddy,
with some water, you go puke it up a little bit. I'm
good, I'll just sit here. I wanted to. Oh, I'm an
elephant, come at me. We made him laugh so much that he got
the hiccups. Mikey, good job, good job today. He's an uh
huh oh little need your help? So interesting, right, I mean,
how does that happen? The picture also shows the packet before it was taken
outside the door of a room that was all made outside, like like it's
a room service tray you've getting rid of and left outside the door like dang
it. Question all the tips man. All right. The question for me
is, did Kyrie read his scouting report, like yeah, I got it
and just put it out with the room room service trade or is this how
they were distributed to them, like leading them at their doors? This is
like the USA today. They're they're laid perfectly in front of multiple doors in
these photographs. Maybe they want to rethink that. Can't we just slide them
under the door, you would think, or you just knock on the door
and hand it to them. Yeah, these sensitive documents, Now I just
leave them on the floor of the hotel in the town that you're playing the
team. And look, there is a chance that it's not real, but
it seems so real just looking at it, and it all looks like pretty
basic information. I mean, it's not as egregious as the freaking cowboys.
You're letting their draft board get out seemingly every other year. Yeah, but
that's that's funny. It's also they're really was social media at least is kinding
them for just calling guys who can't play defense elephants. That's kind of funny.
So I thought it was just stats at first when I saw it,
and I'm like, all right, whatever, that's I guess. I don't
know. I don't know what a team have a game day like the latest
updated info, yeah, because I mean get first game of the season.
Fine, but something may have happened late last night with the stats change a
little bit and maybe an injury or something where you want them first thing to
wake up to a nice report of the league and the team you're playing.
That may have Maybe that's it. It's overnight and you'll wake up in the
morning. We'll have your scouting reports for you in the morning for you.
Yeah, like and freshest scouting report. You know, like there are people
here and I think, yeah, people here that like live at the Thompson
here in Dallas, you know, so it could be like a thing where
it's just a guy who lives there and the Mavericks happened to stay on a
team for I get a story about being on the team for when the Eagles
and Patriots played in the Super Bowl. At the Super Bowl in Minnesota,
the Mall of America. We stayed on the same flor as the Philadelphia Eagles,
and a bug was going around that I'm pretty sure I got the flu
from Mike Basseck the time I mean, I had to miss our Wednesday show.
I was bedridden and sick. But I was like, man, we're
all kind of touching the same hotel buttons, you know, or elevator buttons
on that flour And then sure enough, the day I'm sick and I'm bedridden
and couldn't go to work, down to the food court at the Mall of
America into the show and I'm in bed. I've got the NFL network on
it, and they pumped jump in at like the Eagle, like six Eagles
have come down with the flu. And I'm like, holy crapah, the
same thing they got. Have I given the Eagles the flu? Look what
I've done for Cowboy Nation awesome. I gave Fletcher Cox the the poo poos.
But I mean, so it's not crazy to me that in a town
like San Antonio, someone would be on the MAVs team floor. No,
I agree, But to get the packet interesting, I don't. But you
don't want it getting out that you call another player an elephant and a poor
defender. I mean, that's that's a bad look. That's enough info to
want to secure it and not leave it on the floor of a hotel in
front of a door, Danny, pull your knees up to your chest and
lean forward. Is there any I mean, if it's out in a common
area, it's free for the taking. Taking right, it was a secured
floor. I'm sure we need to use your little card to get to that
floor, but somebody on that floor could certainly snag it. You don't think
there's a lot of similarities between where they're staying and where we stayed not before
last I don't think so host all. Can you imagine if, like the
MAVs showed up to play the Rockets and they got their itinerary or the bus
dropped them off at their hotel and they ended up staying where we stayed a
change, and there was a running bathtub in the room they checked into,
and a dog. I was at a Team hotel in the closest restaurant for
you to eat late at night is Walgreens. I won't even say the sport
I'm gonna be. This is be the most vague thing you ever hear me
say. But I was at a Team hotel once, and in the adjacent
room I heard a lot of things happening the night before the game. Sex,
you know, what I'll say, yes, but I'm more quite sure
it was so No is that cocaine? No? No, I'm quite sure
I heard it's solo sex how with assistance from from thee's Wi fi. But
oh you heard an I didn't just hear someone watching porno and no, because
they were interacting with they were talking to. Could have been a webcam situation,
yes, a chatterbait, yes, shake that tiny d Do you think
that it was someone they knew or somebody that they just mark Dooper's hotel room?
Did you hear the player? I heard you saying? Tell me I'm
disgusting. Yes, I heard things that even I found shocking and I am
f night. Joe just came on. Tell me was it was it like
a fantasy trying to get into her role here? Sure, like stomp on
them and slam it in the door, go for grape lady. I heard
shocking things. I was traumatized by this. Do you know who it was?
Yes? Was it somebody on a team. I'm not gonna go on,
fellow media media, there was a movie called The Penis. Is it
a somebody from the Italian media? Italian media, not one of these local
teams or was a local team. You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna say
no more, and I understand that's not fair. Necessarily did say that.
I was gonna be as vague as I've ever been, and I'm not.
I don't normally do that. I'll normally give you a full payoff. I'm
imagining a great baby stomp. I'm imagining that it was Ben Rogers. You
want to go ahead and make that announcement. Now it was not Ben Rogers,
but hi, I think I could pick someone like Ben who could handle
it and give more info, you know, and then but no, it
was not Ben anyway, it was I will say traumatic to here for you
for me knowing that now this in person, clearly, that's all I think
about. Do you have any personal interaction with this human being after that night?
I guess I used to face exchange, pass them in the hallway where
you kind of see them in person. You go, sure, yes,
what you did? Yes? You dirty dirty man? Yes? Or a
woman or woman could have been a professional athlete of any of the sports.
Really, when you were covering the w n B A for Roy, Yes,
for my draft pre or the w NBA preview show that Corby and I
had to do because we lost some bet and we just argued about w n
b A the whole time. Danny, we need you to swallow some granulated
sugar in the break, or maybe also bite on a lemon. Theo's are
ways. Maybe if I get through the steas awesome, he's gonna do more
news hiccup the whole time. What I deem is the coolest hippiest couple in
America got married. I'm going to tell you who they are next
