This is your home for the useless question.

That's normal. What is some kind of idiot? The Bigger and Manners, the sports hub. Just try it. To your phones here, as promise. Here's Wayne and Yarmouth on the Celtics thing. Go ahead, Wayne. Wayno. Okay, babe, I'll put you on hold. Tom in Denver. Go ahead, Tom. Hey, how you doing, Faga? Good, Tom. You're right about one thing.

It's bull crap. John Hold. Tom and Danvers. Go ahead, Tom. Hey, how are you doing, Fogger? Good, Tom.

You're right about one thing.

It's bull crap.

It's basketball, his life.

He's going to come back.

This is his way of passive, aggressive, grandstanding.

All the attention is going to Brown, and he wants the attention back.

When he comes back and he will, the attention will be back on him.

He'll get a standing ovation, and, oh, isn't he brave?

So it's all bold, crap.

Okay, so he is coming back.

He's just sort of building up some drama.

All by that.

The one thing I will not buy is that he's going to hold himself out.

As the caller said, basketball is his life. And he posts, he plays. It's his calling card.

But he's going to hold himself out when he could return because he doesn't want to mess with the identity. That's the only thing I will not accept. No, of course you shouldn't accept. That's asinine. It's assonine. I told you, again, I'll just repeat quickly, but I said to you off the air because I know we want to get to calls. Jalen Brown Post game last night was very passive. It was a no-show game. Missoula was asking,

they didn't cover the three line. They played just, it was like a mail-in game. They were behind

the whole game. They were never really in it. Kind of a rare performance. And they've had a couple

of those. And when they have, Brown has been annoyed by it. Not last night. So in the last couple of days, is it possible? They said to Tatum, we're not going to bring you back. So get it in your head now. We're not going to do it. The deadline's coming up. The team is overperformed. The ownership and management has looked at it and said, well, now people are expecting us to add Jaron Jackson or some big guy that's going to cost us money. We're not going to go into the second tax. Tell Tatum to put the brakes on it. And by the way, Jalen, it's staying this way. Tatum's not coming back. Oh, really? You mean I busted my ass all year for nothing? And all of a sudden now we're on the verge of being in it. And now you're telling me he's not coming coming back and then they go out and mail it in and nobody's really locked in i like that entire scenario

the only piece i i don't accept is that they are going to shut down jason tatum if jason tatum
