Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on

00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so we start with is this good news? Now?

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: Initially it sounds like it is, but I'm not convinced

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: that it actually is. This is chiefs wide receiver Rashie Rice.

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: So he's going to have a disciplinary hearing that's expected

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: to be on September thirtieth in New York. So this

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: means he'll likely be able to play the first four

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: weeks of the season before any potential discipline, and we

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: can eliminate potential he's going to be disciplined like he

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: had a role in a multi car crash I left

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: multiple people injured during the twenty twenty four offseason. It's

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: finally played out in court, it's done with. So now

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: it's the NFL stepping in determining what the punishment is

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: going to be. The interesting part is it's supposed to

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: happen around September thirtieth, So you think, okay, Rashi Rice,

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: all these reports from Chiefs camp, just glowing reports. Some

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: of these reporters are saying he actually looks better and

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 3: more explosive than he did before he suffered a knee

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 3: injury last season. And so it's like, all right, Chiefs,

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: they're cooking with grease. Now they got their wide receiver one,

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: Rashie Rice on the field for the first four weeks

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: most likely. But I started thinking about this, and I'm like,

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: if it's up to the Chiefs, if they had it,

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: if they had their preference, what would their preference be?

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Would it be that Let's just say it's a four weeks.

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how long it's going to be, but

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: just for the sake of argument, let's just say it's

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: four games. Okay. If you're the Chiefs, would you prefer

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: your stud wide receiver to be suspended for the first

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: four games or like the next four games, you know

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: what I mean? Instead of weeks one through four, would

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: you pick weeks five through eight? Which would you choose?

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: I honestly don't know what they would choose. And I

42
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: looked at this, I'm strangely curious about this whole thing

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: because I'm looking at the schedule and I'm considering all

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: these things. If you look at the Rashi Rice situation,

45
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: just from the schedule standpoint, I think that the first

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: four games are a little tougher than the next four games.

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: So if Rashi Rice, if he were suspended the first

48
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: four weeks, which it sounds like he will not be,

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: so they take on the Chargers in Brazil. By the way,

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: fun fact, so I I dated a Brazilllion girl one time.

51
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: That's not the fun fact. Well maybe it is, but

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: she I said Brazil one time, like that's how and

53
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: she looked at me sideways and she goes, you don't

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: say it with an L. She's like, it's Brazil. And

55
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, like with a W at the end, and

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: she's like, yeah, like Brazil. I'm like, all right, I

57
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: don't make the rules. Apparently that's the way if you

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: want to get in cool with the Brazilian crowd, you

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: don't go with an L at the end of the pronunciation.

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: You go with the W. But in any event, the

61
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: Chiefs are taking on the Chargers in Brazil. That's the

62
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: first game. Then they're at home to host the Eagles

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: at the Giants on a Sunday night, Then they host

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: the Ravens. So think of the three of the first

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: four games Chargers Internationally, Eagles, Ravens. That's pretty tough slate.

66
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: So it looks like Rashi Rice will be there for

67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: the first four weeks. If you're a Chiefs fan, probably

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: good news. Now if you look at the next four

69
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: games at Jacksonville on a Monday, host the Lions on

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: a Sunday night, host the Raiders, host the Commanders on

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: a Monday night. So you've got three of the next

72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: four games our primetime games, a couple of Monday night games,

73
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: a Sunday night game. Get the Lions in there, get

74
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: the Commanders in there. So it's not like this layup

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: of games, you know, layup city the next four weeks.

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: So like the schedule is what it is if you

77
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: think of it from a rhythm standpoint, right, having Rashie

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: Rice miss weeks one through four or miss weeks five

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: through eight, I really don't know what their preference would be.

80
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: Think about this. I think there are arguments on both sides.

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: You could start the season with Rashie Rice. He's there

82
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: for the first four games, you start to establish a rhythm,

83
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: and then the suspension kicks in and he's gone for

84
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: a little bit of time and then he comes back.

85
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: Is that easier for your team compared to, Hey, he's

86
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: just gone the first four weeks. We got to make

87
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: do without him, and then boom, he's there for Week

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: five and if healthy, he's there for the rest of

89
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: the season. I really don't know what their preference would be,

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 3: don't My guess is it would probably differ from team

91
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: to team, from player to player. There might be like

92
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: Mahomes might say, Oh, my preference is this. Meanwhile, Josh

93
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: Allen might say, well, you know, if it were up

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: to me and it's my stud wide receiver is suspended

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: for weeks one through four or weeks five through eight,

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: this is what I would prefer. I really don't know.

97
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't know my I would say, my preference is

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: to have Rashie Rice there for the first four games.

99
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: You play three tough teams Chargers, Eagles, Ravens, and I

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: also think to establish a rhythm, to get into a groove,

101
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 3: to have him there for the beginning of the season.

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: I think that's important because you start to get you know,

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: solidified as an offense, and you find out what works,

104
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: you're finding out what does, and you're starting to get

105
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: into these patterns, right, and then he's gone for a

106
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 3: little while. You have to make do and then he's back.

107
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit easier than it is

108
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: to just not have him there for four weeks. You're

109
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: trying to make do. Maybe you start establishing some rhythms,

110
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: you're getting into some patterns that are working, and then

111
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: all of a sudden he's there and you have to

112
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: recalibrate everything. I think the way it looks like it's

113
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: gonna shake out, which is Russ ge Rice is going

114
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: to be there for the first four weeks. It's just

115
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: like an injury almost, you know, he goes away for

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: the next four games or however long the suspension is,

117
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, and then you get him back. I

118
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: think that's a little bit better. So I don't know

119
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: why mine just latched onto that one, like I don't.

120
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: I'm strangely curious from team to team what they would

121
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: prefer if it were up to me, If I'm a

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: Chiefs fan. Put it that way, I would prefer for

123
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: him to be there for the first four weeks. Now,

124
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: the the disciplinary officer, the blast from the past, Sue L. Robinson.

125
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: She's jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFL Players

126
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: Association to oversee this disciplinary stuff. Right, used to be Goodell.

127
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: Now it's Sue L. Robinson. You might be like, how

128
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: do I know that name? That's what I was thinking.

129
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: It's It's like, okay, she presided over the Deshaun Watson

130
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: disciplinary hearing, right, she was the one that determined how

131
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: long that suspension was going to be. And her name

132
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: was thrown out there all the freaking time. What Sue L.

133
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: Robinson gonna rule?

134
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: What?

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: She blah blah blah. So that's the same Sue L. Robinson.

136
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: This is only her second disciplinary hearings. The second case

137
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: she's presided over will be Rashi Rice and we'll see.

138
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: I'm curious how long the suspension is going to be

139
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: and what week it actually kicks in. But that's the story.

140
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: He's supposed to get this disciplinary hearing on September thirtieth

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: in New York, and if that is the date, that

142
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: means he would be able to play the first four games.

143
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: So there you go. I think kind of interesting stuff.

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: By the way, for what it's worth in terms of

145
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: the suspension, amount of time, the length of the suspension.

146
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: So he pled guilty to two third degree felony charges.

147
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: It was collusion involving serious bodily injury and racing on

148
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: the highway causing bodily injury. Now he received deferred adjudications.

149
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: That means the case will be dismissed if he completes

150
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: the probation. Basically, it's like you have this probationary period

151
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: where if you don't screw up again, it just goes away.

152
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: It's basically how it works. So take that for what

153
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: it's worth. Sue L. Robinson will take all that into account,

154
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: and she'll say three games suspensioned or I don't know,

155
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: somewhere between three and six would be my guess, maybe

156
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: like three four games probably what he gets. But I'll

157
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: tell you what, man Rashi Rice being back for that

158
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: Chief's offense is gonna be a big, big deal. He

159
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: was off to a magnificent start last season, played only

160
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: three and a half games, productive, had twenty four catches,

161
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: almost three hundred yards, and three touchdown grabs in three

162
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 3: and a half games, averaging a touchdown a game basically,

163
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: So to have him back in the mix, that is

164
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: a big, big deal. I don't understand these people that

165
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: are like, ah, the blueprint has been figured out over here,

166
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: the blueprint to beating the Chiefs, that's established based on

167
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: the Eagles beating them. It's like, dude, the Eagles have

168
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: such a special roster. Let's not make it sound like

169
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: the Raiders bring the same thing to the table, you

170
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like this idea that the Chiefs

171
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: are gonna be I don't know, eight to nine this

172
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: season is ridiculous. I think that they're gonna still own

173
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: that division. I think they're still gonna be the biggest

174
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: problem in the AFC. You could argue the entirel but

175
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: for for Mahomes to have these weapons back led by

176
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice is a big, big deal. But there you go.

177
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: Be there for the first four weeks. It looks like.

178
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,120

185
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 6: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

186
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 6: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

187
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to

188
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 6: the show so it can get Camps.

189
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing out studio? Get him,

190
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: paul Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauline Tony Fusco

Speaker 3: Show on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get

192
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: your podcast.

193
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: He's still moving.

194
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: I typically don't find this interesting at all, and you're

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: probably like, well, then why would you be talking about it? No,

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: because I found something interesting about this subject. I typically

197
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: don't care about whatsoever. These lists come out, you know,

198
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: at some point during the year, probably around this time,

199
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: and it lists how much franchises in pro sports are worth.

200
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: So it's like, the average NFL team is worth seven

201
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: point one to three billion dollars. That's pretty crazy, just

202
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: the average team is worth that much. Now, when you

203
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: see like it's broken down in many different ways, and

204
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: most of it I just don't care about even a

205
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 3: little bit. Where this list is like Okay, the Cowboys

206
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: lead the way again. They're valued at twelve point eight

207
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: billion dollars. And then there are a couple other teams

208
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: that have crossed the ten billion dollars threshold. The Rams

209
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: have done that ten point four billion, Giants ten point

210
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: two billion. This to me is just like le it's

211
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: white noise. It's like, okay, we get it. They're worth

212
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: a lot of money. Great, what else you got for me?

213
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: You know?

214
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: But what stood out to me was this little nugget

215
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: where the Bengals, they're the team that's worth the least

216
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: in the NFL. They're still worth five point five billion dollars,

217
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals. But this nugget is what really stood out.

218
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: So the Bengals, even though they're in last place in

219
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: terms of value among all NFL franchises, five point five

220
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: billion dollars. That's more than every NHL team, that's more

221
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: than all but four MLB teams, and that's more than

222
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: all but seven NBA teams. Think about that. That blows

223
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: my mind. Where you're the you know, the runt of

224
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: the litter, basically the Bengals in terms of what that

225
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: franchise is worth. But it's still worth more than all

226
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: but four MLB teams. Only four teams in Major League

227
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: Baseball are worth more than the last place Bengals in

228
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: the NFL, and then the NBA. The NBA has only

229
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: seven franchises that are worth more than the Bengals. That's it.

230
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: They have twenty three franchises that are worth less than

231
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: the last team in terms of NFL value. That is

232
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: wild to me. Like, we get it, we're football obsessed.

233
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: We understand that football is king, NFL is king, but man,

234
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: when you break it down in some of those ways,

235
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: it's still staggering to me. Like the least valuable is

236
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: more valuable than almost every MLB franchise. That's just like wow,

237
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: Like these I can just picture these commissioners and these

238
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: you know, these other team owners of like NBA MLB squads.

239
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: You can talk to Manfred or Adam Silver and it's

240
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: just like heh yeah yeah yeah, NFL yeah yeah yeah.

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: You know, it must be so annoying for those guys

242
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: to hear about this all the time, you know, Like

243
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 3: they came out with the Christmas Day slate. I think

244
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: it was Fan Duel tweeted this out today and it

245
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: just broke down how the games you know, when they're

246
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: scheduled and the overlap, and it's I just feel bad

247
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: for the NBA. I love basketball. I love the NBA.

248
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: You know I say it. You don't get a whole

249
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: lot of people saying that proudly I do. I love

250
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: the NBA, not like football, And I just feel bad

251
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: for the NBA when you look at this Christmas Day slate,

252
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: all the NBA games are going to be on ABC,

253
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: which is pretty cool. Right, It's on network television all

254
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: five games. Boom, just keep it locked on that. You

255
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: have to say, is this on ESPN? Is it on

256
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: ESPN two? Is this the ABC gaft? Nope, everything on

257
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: ABC won't matter. They'll still get their teeth kicked in.

258
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: It's like, so it starts off at noon, Calves Nicks, Okay,

259
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: one pm, Cowboys Commanders, flip, you know, flip over the ball,

260
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: and then you know it's a Spurs thunder that probably

261
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: wrap up right before kickoff of Lions Vikings, which is

262
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: another really good game on Christmas Day. So it's like,

263
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: MAVs Warriors, your ratings just got slashed in half, most

264
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: likely because you're going head to head with Lions Vikings

265
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: and then the nightcap Rockets at the Lakers. Right, you

266
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: see KD going against lebron squad Luca on the floor.

267
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: All right, we get we're cooking with grease over here.

268
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: Well yeah, like fifteen minutes later, it's gonna be Broncos

269
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs. So yeah, have fun with that, NBA,

270
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: have fun with that. It's it's a rough reality right here.

271
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: You can put all your games on ABC. Not gonna matter,

272
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: not gonna matter. Your your audience is still gonna get crushed.

273
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: Happens every time. But the point is, like Adam Silver,

274
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: NBA team owners when they're like, oh yeah cool, you know,

275
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: just just when we're you know, we've already had a

276
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: bunch of gut punches, and we know our Christmas Day

277
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: ratings are gonna pale in comparison to the NFL. Now

278
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: we get this, what franchises our world? You're telling me

279
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: we only have seven NFNBA franchises worth more than the

280
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: Bengals that are the least valuable NFL team. Cool, great,

281
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: very uplifting news here on a Thursday.

282
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: You know.

283
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

284
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

285
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: So there's a story that caught my attention on Thursday.

286
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: This is Michael Porter Junior. Okay, so he's now playing

287
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: for the Brooklyn Nets. He is a former member of

288
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets. He was traded. But he went on

289
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: a podcast and he was talking about sports betting and look,

290
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: he made some points that I completely agree with. And

291
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: the gist of it is this is all from his standpoint, right,

292
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: and it makes sense. He's the one who's dealing with

293
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: these idiotic fans that say, dude, I needed one more

294
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: basket and you couldn't score, and I'm just mad at you,

295
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: and he's got to deal with those people are worse.

296
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: He's like, we really do get death threats. His life

297
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: is threatened because he didn't get one more rebound and

298
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: the parlay didn't hit. You know, this is ridiculous, but

299
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: unfortunately that's what a lot of athletes have to deal with.

300
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: And a couple of Michael Porter Junior's thoughts on this podcast.

301
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: He said, the whole sports gambling entity, it's bad and

302
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: it's only going to get worse. And one of the

303
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: examples he said, the enjoyment of the game isn't for

304
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 3: the game anymore so that people can make money. In reality,

305
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: way more people are losing money than making money. Now

306
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: he's right about that, So think about it. This is

307
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: the dynamics, this is how it all comes together. And

308
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 3: a lot of athletes get screwed on this. So you

309
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: got a lot of sports betters now more than ever

310
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 3: because it's legalized. So you just get on your app

311
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: of choice, you know, bet MGM, DraftKings, Fan Duel, whatever,

312
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: and you search for the best line. Maybe you got

313
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: multiple sports books, right, and you're just firing away, and

314
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: there are a lot of betters that lose more than

315
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: they and then there are a lot of betters that

316
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: can't handle it. It might lash out at an athlete

317
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: or twenty and it becomes this whole sucky thing. It's terrible.

318
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 5: What was what was the the part of the quote

319
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 5: that he said right before the part about there's more

320
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 5: people losing than winning.

321
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: Oh, he said, the enjoyment of the game isn't for

322
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: the game anymore. Okay, that people can make money.

323
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 5: So while I agree with that to an extent, I

324
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 5: feel like it needs like these sports, I mean, for

325
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: the most part, maybe not the NFL, but these sports

326
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: need gambling oh yeah, because the newer generations like gen

327
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 5: Z I just feel like a stimulants. They're they're not

328
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: as into sports as the you know, I feel like

329
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 5: the Millennials were like kind of the last you know,

330
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: and even then it's like kind of split, like uh,

331
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 5: you know, it's not this same type of fandom, right, It's.

332
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 3: Not like the same obsession, right, like the same like

333
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: oh man, they're just like yeah, I'll catch the highlights

334
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: right right.

335
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: It's not it's not the connection to the like where

336
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 5: you're you know, I'm the type of fan like where

337
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: and you know this is probably not healthy, but you know,

338
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 5: a bad game, a bad loss from the Broncos will

339
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 5: ruin my day, you know, like.

340
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: You're throwing things.

341
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: You know, Gamblers who are just playing on games, they

342
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 5: don't care. We'll see if they don't care, they care

343
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: about the money. Money. Yeah, it can ruin their their day,

344
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 5: but they you know, it's it's totally different.

345
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sucks. I hate it for the athletes because listen,

346
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: no one should be you know, talked to completely disrespectfully,

347
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: death threats, the whole. There's another story with Max Homer.

348
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 3: He's a golfer and he was talking about some of

349
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: the abuse that he faces and has to you know,

350
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: get off a social media and there are all these

351
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: threats and it's just too much. There was Lance McCullers.

352
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 3: There's a Houston astros pitcher. So there was an intoxicated

353
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: better overseas that sent messages on social media threatening to

354
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 3: murder his family and him. Why, well, because he had

355
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: a bad start. What so you know, your family's got

356
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: to go. He has this bad start on a Tuesday night,

357
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: wrecked my parlay. I mean, everybody's got to go, you know,

358
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: one by one. Crazy because I've never really thought about that. Yeah,

359
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: that's what happened.

360
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

361
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: Crazy. But here's the thing though, this is the point

362
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: I want to make about all of this, because these

363
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: discussions turn into, hey, because of betting, this is what's happening,

364
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: and it's like no, no, no, no, no, stop right there.

365
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: It's not because of betting that these things are happening.

366
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: It's because people.

367
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 5: Are a holes, because they're psychotic.

368
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why it's happening. So you can't fault betting,

369
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: like there's just a disconnect. Put it this way. If

370
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: if somebody I don't know had too many drinks one night,

371
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: and then did something crazy, you know, like, let's keep

372
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: it as apples to apples as possible. They threatened to

373
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: murder a person and his entire family. Right, you wouldn't

374
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: be like, well, alcohol, you know, if it wasn't for alcohol,

375
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: we'd be good. No, you would hold that person accountable.

376
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 3: You would say that's not acceptable, dude, right, Like, so

377
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: it's not alcohol's fault, it's not betting's fault. It's the

378
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: fault of the idiots that don't know how to behave.

379
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I'm trying to say is, yeah,

380
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: just don't blame betting. Blame the person who can't handle betting.

381
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 3: That's the difference right there. But far too often I'm like, well,

382
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: I mean with betting, that's what Michael Porter Junior said

383
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: at the end, like the whole sports gambling entity, it's

384
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: bad and it's only going to get worse. I don't

385
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: have a huge problem with that statement, but it's sort

386
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: of getting to the same old song and dance where

387
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: it's like, if not for betting, like we'd be fine.

388
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: Here it's like, no, betting's not going anywhere. They're making

389
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: way too much money, Like Coop is saying betting's going.

390
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: It's the bridge for a lot of people to be

391
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: more invested in these sports. So it's not going anywhere.

392
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: It's just like, until these people understand that's not acceptable,

393
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: I don't know how you get that in their head,

394
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: they're either punished in a way or listen, I can

395
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: relate to this in some sort of way where like

396
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: filling in, being a fill in radio host, and I

397
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: get it. But I told my mom, I'm like, as

398
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 3: weird as this sounds, there are a lot of people

399
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: that don't even think of you as a human being.

400
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: It's the truth, It's true. They're just you're this person

401
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: on the radio, and where's Ben, where's the guy Ben

402
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: doesn't do lists? And who's this feeling guy doing list?

403
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: They hate you, that's all they think. They think like

404
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 3: you're some something something to entertain me. They don't think beyond.

405
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: They don't think, hey, you've got a sister, you've got nephews,

406
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: you got a girlfriend, you got a neighbor, bog cat, yeah,

407
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: you got Oreo visits. You're a human being, Like they

408
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: don't think like that. You're just this thing.

409
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 5: Why are you doing this to me?

410
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

411
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Like that's what it is. So it's the

412
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: same concept with sports betting and these athletes that pay

413
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 3: a price for these idiots that are just like I

414
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: would have won twenty K and this moron can't make

415
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: two free throws. I'm gonna tweet them. It's just like, no, dude,

416
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: that's a human being. You don't do that. That's not okay,

417
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: not cool. And I don't know how we can get

418
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: people to think along those lines. It's either their plunge

419
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: severely enough, were that sets in or it sinks in.

420
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 5: Well see, But I also think that there's such a

421
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: fine thin line and it's and it's really almost like

422
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 5: arbitrary because you know, I if that happens to me, right,

423
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: I lose something by what I'm doing the same thing.

424
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: But I'm not seeking the guy out and tagging him,

425
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 5: but I'm cursing him, you know, like.

426
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: Well listen, man, if they don't know it, then you know,

427
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: well the tree falls in the woods, you know, make

428
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 3: it sound yeah.

429
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 5: But that was going to lead me to my next

430
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 5: statement because I thought, Okay, well do I go on

431
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: Twitter and sometimes tweet it out not directly to them,

432
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: but just out into you know, into space or what

433
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 5: And I thought, I'm like, you know, I've done that,

434
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 5: like you know, I mean, I don't know if it's

435
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 5: necessarily because of a bet, but I'm sure I have.

436
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: But I just I was thinking specifically after like game

437
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 5: one or Game two or whatever. I think I went,

438
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 5: I tweeted out, and I was like, man, Bonick sucks.

439
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: Well listen that, that to me is in a different category, right, Listen.

440
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: If bon Nicks just goes on Twitter and hey, let's

441
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: see what people are talking about, Oh god, right, yes exactly,

442
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 3: that's yeah, that can suck. But if you're literally adding him,

443
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: you know, like you're dming him, right, Yo, that's I

444
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: think that's a completely different category where it's not the

445
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: coolest thing on earth just to even tweet it out there.

446
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: But it's not the same thing as like literally you're

447
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: basically texting them, you know what I mean Like that,

448
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the same thing. Maybe they're cousins,

449
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: but I think they're distant cousins. I don't think that's

450
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: that's the same thing at all. But I feel bad

451
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: for the athletes. I'll tell you this, If I was

452
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: an athlete and had to deal with that, I'd probably

453
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: look at sports betting a lot more similarly to how

454
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior looks at sports, he probably looks at

455
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: it think about it. So his brother is banned for

456
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: life because of sports betting, he gets death threats. Sometimes
