1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka, it's our dub er three, our number three.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: And should the Rams ram it all day or ram

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: it all night and pull the trigger on a rumor

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: trade for Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins as Matthew Stafford season

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: is in jeopardy, or should they stick with Jimmy Garoppolo

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: and what they have? Also, the Chicago Bears are said

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: to be considering the nuclear option if Illinois stadium legislation fails,

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: they would leave the state of Illinois. Believe it or not?

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Believe it or not? And where do you fall on?

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Titans quarterback cam Ward cam Ward, the number one overall pick,

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: hyping up the Titans wide receiver, says they're a top

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: five unit in the NFL.

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Will go there as well. Right now. Buckle up, buckaroo,

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: it's our number three.

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: They are not kissing Cousins, but maybe they will become

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: that welcome. In beginning of another hour of the Ben

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: Mahler Show, we are in the air, Ey are amigos,

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: as we are talking to you one on one through

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: the static and the noise unless there is no static

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: and there is no noise coast to coast, port of

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the border and beyond on the vast and intendescently powerful

22
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: microphones of fs are amminating live from the whistle as

Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Bagel Boy.

Speaker 1: Nothing better than a fresh bagel, But you gotta get

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: there to crack it down. There's people making bagels right now,

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: and they get to smell the bagel. Maybe they sneak

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: one of those bagels in and they eat them. But

29
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the man of those things great. And this portion of

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,360

00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: This hour is from the National Football League. The waiting

38
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: game continues for Matthew Stafford.

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh my aching back like an episode of The Huntingmooners

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: back in the day.

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: So he has been dealing with apparent chronic back injury,

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: and that there is no.

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Timeline for his recovery.

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: And if you look at his age the fact that

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to get out in the field,

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: and you start crunching the numbers, Well, this isn't looking

47
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: very good for the Rams at all. Kind of know

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: where this is going, right, you know where this is going.

49
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: It's not going to a good place. Not going to

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: a good place at all. And so we're getting to

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: a fork in the road.

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: We're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're getting close,

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: getting close.

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of weeks here to go of

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: exhibition games and then that's that's it. There's a dead

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: week and then the NFL regular season begins. And so

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: we're hearing.

58
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: Some some rumblings. Hear that. That's actual sound. That's what

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: the rumblings sound like.

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're scary, right, It was scary, yeah, all right,

61
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: So the the rumblings say that the Rams, the Rams

62
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: are considering considering engaging in trade conversations with the Atlanta

63
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: football team or quarterback Kirk Cousins, the longtime Viking starter

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: who is persona non grata in Atlanta. Michael Pennix Junior

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: has usurped usurped Kirk Cousins as the QB number one.

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: They're in Jordan.

67
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: So, as of now, Kirk Cousins is the highest paid

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the NFL. The Rams their backup quarterback

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: they're playing b is a guy that started a Super Bowl,

70
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: didn't play well in it, but started a Super Bowl

71
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers back in the day. Jimmy Garoppolo.

72
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: That's right, Jimmy gy loves the porn stars. Who doesn't

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: and you know Jimmy Garoppolo right there. That is the

74
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: other option the Rams have. So let us discuss the question.

75
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Should the Rams pull the trigger and make the deal

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: with the Falcons for quarterback Kirk Cousins or stick with

77
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy g and their current quarterback room. So my observations

78
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: on this, I've got high school Sweethearts, Monopoly, Community Chest,

79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and Arby's, and we'll combine all of these things together,

80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: every single thing, and we are gonna make the gobbagool.

81
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna make the gobbagoles.

82
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna all right, So to kick off here, if

83
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: you say, hey, you want this to happen, I am

84
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I sitting here and in love with the idea of

85
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins being the Rams quarterback. No could the Rams

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins if he's the guy.

87
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh what are you talking about? Are you idiots?

88
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Told me that they couldn't win with Matthew Stafford or

89
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: stat patter or whatever you called him.

90
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: Well, he's a de loser. He played with the Lion,

91
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: they won a super Bowl.

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: They got to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff, who sucks. Also,

93
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: So do I believe that McVeigh could coach up Kirk Cousins. Yes, absolute,

94
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: And so that's why I believe the scales are leaning

95
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: towards this because I have no confidence that the Rams

96
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: believe Stafford is going to be able to make it

97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: through the season. I've been messaging some of the people

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: over there and they're like, well, they think he's gonna

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: come back, but they don't know if the.

100
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: Backs are going to hold up.

101
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: And it's this ticking time bomb situation that even if

102
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: Stafford does return, does he get hurt in the first

103
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: series of the first game of the regular season and

104
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: then they got their pants down?

105
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: What are they gonna do? So Cousins is.

106
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Insurance, right, He's like the way it's like wobbly, low level,

107
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: crappy insurance, like crappy insurance.

108
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: You don't buy that insurance.

109
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Because it's good insurance because it's sexy. You buy it

110
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: because listen, the back is exposed and you don't want

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: to be stuck it. It's like driving an O too

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Camray with a cracked engine.

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: You know.

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: It's that thing we talked about. It's like, we don't

115
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: want to be that. You want to be that person

116
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: doing that. And so that would be Jimmy G. Because

117
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: the other concern the Rams said, well, Garoppolo, they can

118
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: win with Garoppolo. But Garoppolo is also made out of

119
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: cookie dough. All right, He's a delicious cookie dough, but

120
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: it's cookie dough. And so you got Stafford, oh my

121
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: aching back. And then you got Jimmy G, who if

122
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: he has a problem with one of his cuticles, he's

123
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: got a miss two games, so Stafford blessed him. This

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: battered spine is one big, bad wolf sneeze at Chew

125
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: away from blowing the Ram house down and going on

126
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: a nice long sabbatical. So you do have to have

127
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: a plan B that does not involve Jimmy Garoppo, you know,

128
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: because Garoppolo will also be throwing hospital balls at some

129
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: point as well. The other part of this is you

130
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: have the family ties, and if you go in the

131
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: hot tub time machine way back, Cousins and McVeigh are

132
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: like high school sweethearts who still text each other on birthdays.

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's like McVeigh if you believe the legend.

134
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much of this is true

135
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: and how much of this is bull crap, but the

136
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: legend is that McVeigh taught Cousins how to read defenses,

137
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: and I taught him how to tie his cleats into

138
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: chew bubblegum at the same time with the old Washington Redskins,

139
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: because they were together, McVeigh was the upstart coach. And

140
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: at that time, remember the Redskins had RG three, who's

141
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: just like an annoying guy on social media now, but

142
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: RG three, and then they also drafted that same year Cousins.

143
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Cousin was the backup and then McVeigh worked with Cousins.

144
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: And so it's always been not what you know, it's

145
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: not what you know, but it's who you know, and

146
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: it's the relationships and everyone's involved with everyone else.

147
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: And the rams.

148
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Also you've got Raheem Morris, who's an old disciple of.

149
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: McVeigh, the head coach of the Falcons.

150
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: There's also some other coaches, some other executives in Atlanta

151
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: that have ties to the Rams, and so it makes sense.

152
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: And the Falcons would love to get rid of Cousins

153
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: because you don't want to have the highest payton backup

154
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL.

155
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: You don't want that, you don't.

156
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: And so Cousins knows the McVeigh playbook, and you know

157
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: he knows them. I guess the McVeigh tree, and it's

158
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: like a squirrel knows branches.

159
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: McVeigh and Cousins know each other. So it makes them

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: all right.

161
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Now, furthermore, we go to Chicago and a story that

162
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Yaphemi is not going to like. And Eugene in Chicago,

163
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: the NFL team in the Windy City looking to leave

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. Now that that's not new, that's not new. The

165
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: plan has been well, originally they were going to go

166
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: to these suburbs. Then they were going to build a

167
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: new stadium downtown. Now to talk in Chicago, based on

168
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: boots on the ground is they're going to go back

169
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: to the Arlington Heights, which is an old racetrack site,

170
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: and that's where they're going to build the new Bears

171
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: stadium out in the suburbs.

172
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: Where most of the season ticket holders live.

173
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: However, there is a third in the punch Bowl. Third

174
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: in the punch Bowl turns out, based on media reports

175
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: that the Bears would like to get their hands on

176
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of taxpayer money from the taxpayers in the

177
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: state of Illinois. Well, the governor of the aliginied state

178
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: has indicated, at least publicly, that he will not will

179
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: not be forking over a bunch of public money to

180
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: help facilitate the Bears getting their new stadium, whether it's

181
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: in downtown or whether it ends up in the suburbs, and.

182
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: Either way in Illinois.

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: So that has led to some whispers that the Bears

184
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: could go to what's being called the nuclear option and

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: say bye bye, I know, g manches upset, bye bye

186
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: to Illinois altogether and go where Where would they go?

187
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: Would they go to Iowa? No? Would they go to Wisconsin? No?

188
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: Would they go to Missouri? No? How about the Hoosier State?

189
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Who's your daddy? Wait a minute, they already have the Colts.

190
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: That's not a big enough state for two teams population wise. Well,

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: if you've been to Chicago or you've traveled through that

192
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: part of the country. You know, there is a scenario

193
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: where the Bears could absolutely move to Gary, Indiana. There

194
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: are some lawmakers in Indiana that are preparing legislation to

195
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: give them the bag. What's in the bank, handout, handout money, money,

196
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: Mady money, money, Madi. All right, So question the Bears again.

197
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: Just to set this up again.

198
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: The Bears are said to be considering in a political

199
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: bruhaha with the governor of Illinois.

200
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: They're considering the nuclear option.

201
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: If they don't get the tax breaks they want, they

202
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: would go to Indiana.

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. Believe it or not.

204
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: So I am a believer. I am Benny the believer

205
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: on this one. Benny the believer.

206
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Here's why.

207
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: All right, So this is the NFL. We're talking NFL.

208
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: We're not talking about.

209
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: A church bakesale. We're not right. And I know a

210
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: lot of.

211
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: The fans, you know, and I used to be this

212
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: way before I became a jaded talk shows people are sentimental, right,

213
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: and some people think the teams are sentimental.

214
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: Spider Alert, The teams are not sentimental. They are.

215
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Sharks. They're sharks that haven't eaten. They're sharks that wear

216
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: expensive suits and they circle the public purse. They want

217
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: that purse, and it's like chum in the water, and

218
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: you think the Bears are some kind of civic institution.

219
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: I get this from people from time to time. We

220
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: talk about these stories. It happens every couple of years.

221
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: The team threatens to leave, and there is a percentage

222
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: of fans that think this is like the fire department

223
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: or the Chicago fire department. Can't leave Chicago, but they

224
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: think it's like a library. Well, no, you can't have

225
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: the library. It's our library, pollyse Paulice. That's the bedtime

226
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: story that the professional sports world, the industrial complex of

227
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: professional sports likes to. He'll tell you while they are

228
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: pickpocketing you and taking all your money, they've got your

229
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: wallet right now.

230
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 2: Ha ha.

231
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: Joke's on you, ha ha. And the franchise is listen.

232
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm just whether you like it or not, that's the

233
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: way it is. They are not built on loyalty.

234
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: Now. They want you to be loyal as a fan.

235
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: They want you to be loyal and they use a

236
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: lot of weasel terminology, but they're just built on leverage.

237
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: It's always about the leverage.

238
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: The most famous example, and our colleague Steve Hartman, who

239
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: works here on the weekends, used to work for Al Davis.

240
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: And Steve Hartman. I've known Steve, you know, I was

241
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: an intern. He was working in San Diego, you know,

242
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the loose cannons back in the day. And Hartman's great,

243
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: but he always tells the story about how Al Davis

244
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: got a call. He got a call from this little

245
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: town in southern California called Irwindale, and because Al wanted

246
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: a stadium in LA and so this like the mayor,

247
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: I think it was the mayor the city council said here,

248
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: we want you to come to Erwindale with got this

249
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: big giant hole near the two ten freeway.

250
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: We want to put a stadium there, the Raiders Stadium.

251
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: We'll build it right here. And Al was like, I

252
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 2: don't want to go to Irwindale.

253
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: And then the mayor the politicians like, we'll pay ten

254
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: million dollars for a news commerce.

255
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: So a'l put on a nineteen eighties.

256
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: Because it was the nineteen eighties, or maybe it was

257
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: the nineties. I think it was late eighties, but I'll

258
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: put on a jacket a starter Raiders jacket that said

259
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Irwindale on it had the Raiders' logo, went out there,

260
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: got paid like the five to ten million dollars was it,

261
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: and they that's it. They took the money, taxpayers money.

262
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: That's an example, right, they're not hugging the community whatever

263
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: this is Bears we're talking about. They're holding it hostage

264
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: and the team, I get it. They want the Monopoly

265
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: community chest in this case, the Bears. They want the

266
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Monopoly community chest, not the community chest thumping pride.

267
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: They don't. They want to land on collect two hundred

268
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: every single time, every single time.

269
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: They want that two uter bucks money, money, money, every

270
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: time they roll the dice. It's the Monopoly community chest.

271
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, stadium deal, tax breaks, infrastructure upgrades. It's not

272
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: really a negotiation. It's extortion.

273
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: But they smile, they smile and they say we're gonna

274
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: win Super Bowls.

275
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: So, Gary, Indiana, I don't know if you ever been

276
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: to Gary, Indiana.

277
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: That is a town.

278
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: They say it's gritty, which is another way of saying

279
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: it's on the wrong side of the track.

280
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: So it's got more potholes than promise. At this point.

281
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: Now I heard it's gotten a little bit better. Recently,

282
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people.

283
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: According to some of my relatives who live in Chicago,

284
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: they're like, well, you know, people are moving there because

285
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: it's cheaper, and so they're getting some of that. You know,

286
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to get away from the ridiculousness of paying

287
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: tons of money, where you can go somewhere just a

288
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: few miles away and pay less and you get to

289
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: live your life and have more money and stuff.

290
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: So and that's the thing, Gary Inianna.

291
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: If you know the geography of Chicago, it's close enough

292
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: where you can smell that great deep dish pizza, right,

293
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: you can smell that, You can smell the Italian sandwich

294
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: is there. It's far enough away, though, to avoid the

295
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: politicians of Illinois and all the red tape.

296
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: It's like the NFL's version of sleeping on the couch

297
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: to make a point.

298
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Like the Bears in Indiana, they would still call themselves

299
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears.

300
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: How could they do that? Well, I don't know.

301
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey and they're

302
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: not called the New Jersey Jets or the New Jersey Giants.

303
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Or anything like that.

304
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: It's not sacrilegi it's strategy. Now nuclear option. You say

305
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: it's a nuclear option. But in the NFL, the.

306
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: Nuke is not the last resort. It's just a bargaining chip.

307
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: That's all it is, all right, Now, last thing to

308
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: the music city we go? Where rookie quarterback at number

309
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: one overall pick. That's right, cam Ward, Tennessee Titans has

310
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: not played a real down of NFL football, not played

311
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: a real down of NFL football. And he's already walking

312
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: to the podium and telling us, I think, honestly, I

313
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: have a top five.

314
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: Receiving core in the NFL. That's a quote. So where

315
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: do you fall Which side of the aisle do you

316
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: fall on? On?

317
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Cam Ward hyping up the Tennessee Titans pass catchers. So

318
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: I jotted down on my scorecard, I jotted down embellishment

319
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: and in the side of the aisle I'm on is

320
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: hyperbole capital H hyperbole, capitol H hyperble. Cam Ward sounds like,

321
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's he's gonna be a great quote.

322
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. I don't think he's gonna be

323
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: very good. I hope he is good because I know

324
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Danny and Nashville, who lives in Miami now is a

325
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: big Titans fan. Guys like that and and some of

326
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: the other guys we've had called the show over the

327
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: years from Tennessee. And I hope he's God. I think

328
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna suck. He sounds like Flavor Flav with a

329
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: playbook here. I mean, what are you doing?

330
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: Life comes at you fast in the NFL.

331
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: And I can't wait till about week four when Van

332
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: Jefferson is, you know, doing wind sprints without.

333
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: Catching anything, doing a cardio game, and.

334
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: You got cam word out there realizing that he's actually

335
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: polishing turds, trying to pass it off as polishing the

336
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy. And you look at the weapons if you do,

337
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: and this is not a list for Terry and England,

338
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: but it's a big board. If you look at the

339
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: current depth chart of the Tennessee Times, why don't we

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: do that? What do you say?

341
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: Shall we? Okay?

342
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: So Van Jefferson three letters, M, I D MID. That's

343
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: what the kids say.

344
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: Mid.

345
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: It's like a YELP. My wife loves YELP. I think

346
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: Yelp's you know, I'm a little skeptical. It's like a

347
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: three star Yelp review. It's okay, Tyler Lockett, good player name,

348
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: we've heard of prime years Seattle Seahawks. Tyler Lockett now,

349
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: as Alf would say, Tyler Lockett's like cottage cheese in

350
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: the back of your fridge with a sell by date

351
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: from last summer. And then and you got Calvin Ridley,

352
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: very talented player, very talented ball player, Calvin Ridley, absolutely,

353
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: and he's got so much baggage that the amount of

354
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: fees he's got to pace like it's like baggage at

355
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: JFK Airport at Christmas or Lax.

356
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Or Logan or any big or hair any of the

357
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: big airport. So it's it's like saying, hey, what cam

358
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: Ward's doing is like saying, hey, my garage band is

359
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: top five because, uh, the drummer of my garage band

360
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: once met Dave Grohl at an Arby's and we had

361
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 2: some roast beef together, and it's like, Okay, that's that's

362
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: a great it's a great tale. It's a shaggy dog story.

363
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: And you're still playing in the basement of your parents' home,

364
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: so you're you're you're doing great there. It's a classic

365
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: NFL training camp stuff. Everyone's undefeated, right, every every unit's

366
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be elite. I really like the offseason we've had.

367
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, these guys are so talented, they're gonna

368
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: be breakouts stars, right, every player is ready to shock

369
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the world, and then we get.

370
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: To about week two, it's like, holy crap, they suck.

371
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, cam Ward's out there, He's like an infomercial Pitchman,

372
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Set it and forget it, the Great Ron Poppi arrest

373
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: in peace.

374
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: Ron, Set it and forget it. And that's what he's doing, right.

375
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: He's pitching his wide receivers and there if everything goes right,

376
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: they're middle class, right, and they're only middle class if.

377
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: Like six or seven NFL teams go.

378
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Bankrupt their middle class, I'm telling you, by week eight

379
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: of the NFL season, cam Ward's gonna be up there

380
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: saying we just got to keep working, we're gonna get better,

381
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: We're close, We're close, right, and be throwing checkdowns because

382
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, at Tyler Lockett's age, he'll get hurt,

383
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: so he'll be out. Van Jefferson has never been all

384
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: that good, so why would he be good now? And

385
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley will be distracted because he's gonna be worried

386
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: about his fourteen parlay and he wants to if he's

387
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: gonna win that, and he's he'll be looking at the

388

Speaker 1: out of town scoreboard. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 1: Justin Cooper.

685
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 6: All right, Ben, We're gonna start with one from Ryan here.

686
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: Hi. Ryan.

687
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 6: He wants to know for everyone, could any of you

688
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 6: finish the nine nine to nine challenge? It is apparently

689
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 6: nine dogs, nine beers, nine innings.

690
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the hot dog thing I don't believe would

691
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: be a problem now it might be, but back in

692
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: the day.

693
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I it's harder now.

694
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: I think that's harder now because baseball games are quicker

695
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: back in the old, back in the old days, Red

696
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Sox game be five hours, Dodger game will be four hours.

697
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: Now, you've got about two and a half hours.

698
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: So could you eat nine hot dogs and drink nine

699
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: beers into Yeah, it's close.

700
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: I think I could do it, Lorena, Absolutely, I could.

701
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 6: I eat so much food it's ridiculous.

702
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: That is true, And you don't get any weight, which

703
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: really annoys me.

704
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 6: What about you, Kooperloo, there's a zero chance the rain

705
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 6: I could do that.

706
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: And she'd take one bite of every hot right exactly

707
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: what counts.

708
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 6: I would not be able to do it. I could

709
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 6: do the nine dogs, but nine beers I would not

710
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 6: be able to years.

711
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: And two and a half hours, you'd be laying on

712
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: the ground. What's you know what?

713
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: Lee?

714
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 2: Lee calls that a Tuesday.

715
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 6: I guess, I guess this one's just for Lorena. It

716
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 6: is from a GABS and they say, why did Loraina

717
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 6: join a sports show if she doesn't know anything about sports?

718
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 6: Why not a music radio station. Well, it's funny they

719
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 6: hire board ops wherever.

720
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: Because technically they don't all talk on the air. But

721
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: I do.

722
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 6: I like sports. I'm getting better, but I do prefer

723
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 6: music radio to be honest.

724
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh, body blow, body blow body celebrities.

725
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: But you know what I think, athletes celebrities.

726
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 6: I'm finding a nice niche between celebrities and sports with

727
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 6: their dating. So it's it's kind of a nice little window.

728
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 2: And yes, LORAINI just to noow, she's not happy? All right,

729
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: what's next? Where are we have here? What I said,

730
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: that's what it sounded like to me.

731
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: I don't know, Alf the alien opiner. This one is

732
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 6: just for you, Ben, He says, do you know what

733
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 6: LARP is?

734
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:03,760

737
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: Uh?

738
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 6: He doesn't give the answer, but I know that it's

739
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 6: live action role play. Oh like people battle.

740
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: Yes, like gods players like yeah, like they like.

741
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,680

744
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: pretty cool and there were some people doing that.

745
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the one he's referring to is

746
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: more like the nerdy kind where you pretend you're like

747
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 6: you're a wizard or a Star Wars guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 6: play anyway, all right.

750
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,200
