Speaker 5 (00:56):
M monating live from the tune, the auto tune.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We're gonna try to avoid the auto tune of the
Mallard Palooza as we're hanging out here at the Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved listening on the other side
behind the pearly gates, Matt the Warrior Raider former as
fan Tom Brady Rose Fan. We lost Matt a while back,
and you know we always tune in from the other
side and this portion of the Ben Maler Show made
(01:22):
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
For over forty years.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tier tire insplation. That's tire rack dot
Com as approved by alfhialienal Pineter and Fergnog the way
(01:46):
tire bonding should be. So this is a special night,
this night different than all other nights on the show.
It's the biggest night in overnight sports radio this summer.
It's the Mallard Palooza. So that means that we're still
doing the the ma because they put that up on
the YouTube channel and Saga will kill me if we
don't do those. So just so he's recording this, so
(02:07):
he's I told him, I said, they're going to be shorter.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Do the monologues. I'll do the Malard monologues. They're going
to be short. We have a lot of acts.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We promoted the hell out of the Malar Palooza and
we've we've got a great turnout of people, a variety
of shows, different performers that will entertain us.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We will introduce the Malapaloosa.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We will get the party started following the Mallard monologue.
Just give heads up, that's gonna be a different night.
You also will have a voice in this. Now I
don't know how many calls we're going to take just
from RANDO callers. However, if you have an X account,
you can give us real time feedback on the X
machine at Ben Mahler and we'll read your comments. So
we will review the acts and really the goal here
(02:49):
and we'll explain it as we go through the Malard Palosa.
But the goal is to get in the top four.
Because we will have our winner based on the judges
here and me and Loraina who and our surprise mystery judge.
We will all vote and then in addition, we will
have the voice of the people that will be you.
And so the top four acts, as the turn by us,
(03:11):
will go up for a vote. And so if you're
a podcast listener working the dreaded day shift, you will
be able to vote on that. So those are some
of the guidelines to get you set.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
But we begin with the Mallard monologue.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Our lead this hour from the name game from the
name of so over the weekend, just a random, sleepy
July weekend, the President decided to spice things up a
little bit here and enter the sporting world. And I
don't I you we're watching and paying attention, maybe not
got some headlines people freaking out here. So President Donald Trump,
(03:42):
if you saw this, he is threatening to hold up
a new stadium which is in the works for the
NFL's Washington franchise, the team in Washington. The President sending
out some comments on social media if they do not
restore the old name. Heil to the Redskins, Hey to
Victor Rey now. President Trump also said over the weekend
(04:04):
that he wants the Cleveland baseball team to change his
name back as well, to revert to the former name
the Indians, which I know will make Dick and Dayton
very happy if they do do that. He still calls
him that, he said the President. There is a big
clamoring for this as well. So all and of course
people freaked out, like the sports media. Oh my god.
(04:26):
All right, So let us discuss the question, how do
you evaluate President Donald Trump calling on the Redskins and Indians'
nicknames to return to pro sports. So on this one,
I've got Tsunami and Mendoza line and that's it, all right,
So a I get a kick.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Out of the media meltdown.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So I'm perusing the commentary and people are losing their
fricking minds, right, some of the sports media people. Some
of these people, I know, they're losing their minds. Right,
They're clutching their pearls. Oh my god, it's like they
need one of those old school Victorian fainting couches.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
They're so emotional by this.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And here's why, right, because when you break it down unscientifically, right,
when you break it down, and if you're actually honest
about the story, it was political. The reason those team
names change was the political climate in America. The teams
bowed down to the politics at the time they changed
(05:30):
their names, the names that had been around for a
very long time. And now it's political again, right, it's
different politics, but it's political again. President Trump daring suggesting
to people it's changing the names back now. Now, Trump
is he's tapping into something here, the President that there's.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
A lot of people that agree with him, a lot
of it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
In fact, I've talked abouts I have some boots on
the ground in the Washington, DC area who have informed
me the Redskins or the Commanders have done market research
for years since they changed the name, and they've asked like,
what name do you want? What name you know, and
overwhelming the people that actually buy tickets, the actual customers,
have said Redskins, that's the name they want back. And
(06:13):
so that you know, people don't bring that up, that's
what they want. And so they're like, hey, listen, the
people that follow the team that actually pay for the
tickets and buy the merchandise that's all overpriced, they're like, hey,
we like this.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
We don't want to scrub this. We like this. This
is the name. And in the.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Years and I understand, we were in a period in
like twenty twenty twenty twenty one, like there was this
weird period here in America where we were rewriting history
right there were you know, knocking down statues. It got
rid of the Redskins name. The Indians name got swallowed
up by the tsunami that was taking place in America.
You had owners of heritage franchises right, American institutions we're
(06:51):
told like these are these are community trusts, these professional
sports teams who were bending down genuflecting faster than referee
trying to put the ball down for Tom Brady back
in the day when.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
He was playing for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And so it was not because the fans the customers
demanded that these names go away. That was not it
at all. In fact, it was the opposite of that.
It was because of some social media mob that was
out there that needed fresh meat and they're like, all right,
just eat everything up. And these professional sports leagues bowed
down to that. But keep in mind there were people
(07:24):
that had backbone in sports that didn't do that. The
Atlanta Braves. Major League Baseball wanted the Braves to change
their nickname because of the political climate. The Atlanta Braves
still exist. If it was up to the mob, the
Atlanta Braves would have gone away. You can go down
the hockey team in Chicago, the Blackhawks. There were people
there they should change the name. In college, the Florida
(07:45):
State Seminoles, there was a push you gotta get rid
of the seminal. I don't care if the Indian group supported.
You got to get rid of it. You know, some
liberal white people don't like it. You gotta get rid
of it. So listen that the names are alive. Those
names are alive today because they had owners that had
a back bone. The Washington Redskins Cleveland Indians did not
have owners that have backbone. So now the president's calling out.
(08:06):
Now the other part of that, like if you were
to say pagetuo, what are the chances, what are the
chances that the commanders in the NFL and the Guardians
in Major League Baseball were to actually do the old
switch oroule and go back to the old name. I
just go back to the old name. It's not great.
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it's great.
I don't think it is great because they know, these
(08:28):
teams know. It's just they got to hold their ground
because Trump's only gonna be president for a few more
years and then somebody else will be in the White House.
So they just have to ride the wave here. But
it's not zero, Okay, it's not zero. The reason it's
not zero the Washington Commanders what a dumb name, and
the Cleveland Guardians an equally dumb name. The current names
they've had those names since twenty twenty two. So here
we are in the summer of twenty twenty five. Both
(08:51):
have said they don't plan to change their name. Of course,
spoiler alert spoiler. Both of them said for years they
were not going to change the name Indians and Redskins,
So who cares what they say. They never said they
were gonna change the names in the first place. They did,
but they said they weren't, and they finally, you know,
(09:12):
they broke down and changed the name. But I'm gonna
set the malarods on this at plus four hundred. I'm
gonna set the malarods on this at plus four hundred.
That is a two hundred hitter. That is the Mendoza line.
That is the Mendoza line in baseball. Baseball player Mario Mendoza,
So two UNDERD batting average, and if you look at
the two UNDERD batting average, that sucks, right, that's terrible.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That is the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Threshold for offensive futility allow in modern baseball. That's acceptable.
In the old days it wasn't. But the name Jange,
if you go from the Redskins and the Guardians, this
is like the symbol of the outrage era that we
were in, right, This is like they changed to these names.
The Great Purge of sports mascots, which they took those down,
(09:57):
and also a bunch of high.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
School teams had to change their name, all this stuff,
and some colleges.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But to replace the Commanders and the Guardians. Those names,
those replacement names right there terrible. They suck. I mean,
there's so bad. It's like the bureaucrats got together and
it's like some kind of dystopian sci fi thing. They
got together. We've got to get a committee together, because
(10:24):
everyoneing needs a committee. We've got to have branding, and
how can we come up with a name. We'll get
a committee together and let's have some meetings. We'll do
some zoom meetings. So it was twenty twenty and it's
like the mascots were put together by the Department of
the Bland. How can it be the most bland possible nickname?
And the Bland, I mean, it's so stupid, right, And
(10:45):
so they came up with Guardians, and they came up
with the Commanders, and they were selected. I am convinced.
I was not in the room, but I am convinced,
nonetheless that those nicknames were selected for one reason, and
one reason only.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
To offend no one right. Their goal.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We do not want to we're gonna name the Cleveland
baseball team after a bridge. They named it after a
bridge and the commanders it sounds like some ripoff Gi.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Joe character or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So in the process of trying not to offend anyone,
which was the goal, they have managed to offend everyone. Right,
Everyone's like, this is so stupid. It's lifeless. There's no energy,
there's no passion. And the logos they came up with,
I think I could come up with that if you
gave me AI, I get you chat, GPT or whatever,
I could come up with a logo like that. They're minimalists,
(11:35):
they're forgettable logos. Why would anyone buy merchandise for these teams?
I mean it's the logos are just blah. You can
create a better logo on your phone than a professional
sports team. Why would you buy that logo? Like, it
makes no sense. They're sanitized their shrink wrap. It's just
they just blow uh. And it was like some kind
(11:57):
of diversity inclusion marketing division came up with him.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It is terrible. They're horrible, and.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It's they've got a bout as much edge as a cracker,
you know, like a gluten freak.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Cracker. It's just nothing. There's just blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And then to compound the issue, right, you compound the issue,
you get rid of names that had a legacy, that
had a following, that had tradition, all stuff, and.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
The the new name and.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You combine the name and the logo and it's like
plain oatmeal is what it is.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
On the mast and zestfully powerful microphones of fs are
ammundating live from the army as we are just foot
soldiers in the audio army that does not shut down,
open all night long. Here from the Fox Sports Radio
Studios as approved by our.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Friend Timmy in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Who we met at the Mallard meeting we did last year, Tammy,
Big cheesehead fan, and this portion of the Ben Mallory
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, tyre Raq has been helping customers

Ship fast and freeback by free Road, has ad protection

(14:55):
dot com the way tirebind should be.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So we are in the.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
After of the twenty twenty five Mallard Palooza. I waited
until just before the show and we posted it. You
can vote for the final four. There are four acts
that reached the pinnacle of the Mallard Palooza. You can
vote for your favorite there that will be the People's champ,
the voice of the people, and you can chime in
(15:21):
on that if you listen to the Mallar Palusa, either
live or on the podcast. We had a bunch of acts,
some of them good, some of them will try to
pretend it didn't happen. And we made it through the night.
We survived we hope for better in the future. But
we did it, and we thank you for participating.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Those of you that did.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And we'd like to have less comedy and more impersonations
and some other stuff. So nonetheless, our lead this out
not from me, mallord palooza, No, no, no, it is
all about Jerry's world. It's all about Jerry's world. So
the Dallas Cowboys are back. You'd expect daily Cowboy updates?
(16:00):
Why why not?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
What the hell? Right? So if you have not been following.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The football news of the day, as we are in
the training camp portion of the schedule with a cadrey
of teams with rookies, some veterans with certain teams have arrived.
So if you haven't been following all this, perhaps not.
The Dallas Cowboys always good at feeding the content machine
in these parts, and they have done it yet again,
(16:25):
so Jerry Jones admitted recently. In fact, in a gaggle
with reporters, he admitted that there have been moments that
he thought about stepping away. He has been the Dallas
Cowboys GM my entire life, well close to it, but
Jerry Jones said there were moments he thought about stepping
(16:48):
away as the general manager of the Cowboys. But not
very long, he said, not very long. Small fractions of seconds,
Jerry said. Jerry says he remains committed to winning a
Super Bowl. All right, exciting and he knows that now
these of course older, it's in his eighties now, he says,
(17:09):
I'm living for now, Jerry Jones said, So let us
discuss the question. Jerry Jones going on the record, Jerry
Jones saying that he thought about stepping away from the
Cowboy GM duties. Is this a big deal, a little
deal or no deal?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Now? That is the question. What is the answers?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I've got Johnny Walker, Blue Pontoon, boat and casting call,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a delicious banana cream pie,
homemade banana cream pie, chef's kiss. So a to answer
the question, this is no deal, right, this is no
(17:54):
deal now, Jerry said, small fractions of seconds. When claiming
that he did contemplate stepping away as the GM of
the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
That is not a.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Reflection, okay. That that's like indigestion.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Is what it's like.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I ate a little too fast, you know, and I
eat frozen food. I eat ice cream or something like that.
Sometimes I'll that's sometimes it happens all the time. I'll
eat it too fast and then I get that that
ice cream headache you know, you gotta it's it's just terrible.
And then it goes away in like thirty seconds and
you go right back to doing what you were doing.
(18:30):
And so Jerry Jones saying, well, you know, it was
small fractions of a second, the seconds that I thought about.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
No longer being the Cowboys GM.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That is the It's like the moment between eating taking
a bite of a pistromi sandwich and realizing you didn't
take the napkin and there's some mustard coming off the
pastrami sandwich.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
It's gonna get all over you, and it's a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It is, right, but Jerry Jones has been the Cowboys
general manager since Ronald Reagan was the president. He's not
stepping down.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He's just doubling down, is what he is. And he's
picking the groceries. And I don't blame people goof on
Jerry Jones and all that's fine to goof on him,
because the Cowboys have been an embarrassment for over a generation.
If I bought an NFL team and I was in
charge of the NFL, that's the fun part. Who doesn't
want to do the fun part. I don't want to
(19:27):
sit there and just hang out at cocktail parties. I
want to pick the players. And Jerry gets to do that.
He gets to pick the groceries the famous old line
by Bill Parcells years ago. And he gets to rearrange
the pantry and all that and gives a chef's kiss
when things go well, and when things don't go well,
he points at his his other people in the kitchen
and blames them. Jerry Jones. The idea that he would
(19:50):
give up the general manager duties a non starter, right,
It's a non starter. That is his identity. It is you.
You know it, and I know it. He is the owner,
he's the GM. I'm pretty sure he takes care of
the catering. They have a catering business there. And I
would imagine that Jerry goes into the locker room and decides,
(20:12):
what ply toilet paper? What ply toilet paper do we
give the cowboy players in the locker room, Because really,
anythink about.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It, that's an expense that you could use that.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Cheap one ply toilet paper were you end up having
to use an entire role for one flush, and then
you can use like the really high end product you
can get at Costco, which will cost you a little
bit more, and it adds up.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Jerry Jones also said, as we told you, he's committed
to winning the Super Bowl and says he's living for now.
So what does that mean? So let's try to decipher
that part of the rhetoric from Jerry Jones. So it's
an encrypted message. Jerry saying I'm eighty two. He said,
(20:58):
I'm eighty two, and I think I can out scout
half of the NFL is essentially what Jerry is saying.
And he's not gonna use AI. He's not gonna use
the NERD numbers. He's gonna go with binoculars and gut feeling.
That is what's gonna He's not none need AI, no pointdexter,
no analytics. Jerry's got his binoculars and he's looking around
(21:21):
and he's got he's probably got a clipboard in a
whistle and a number two pencil, and that's how he
does it. Because Jerry Jones is from the old Country.
Jerry's from the old country. He's the kind of guy
who watches a college football game. I He'll watch an
SEC game on a Saturday afternoon and says, you know,
(21:41):
I think that kid, that number fifty six has got
brass balls. I like the way that guy plays, and
I'm gonna draft that guy, even though he's not projected
to be drafted anywhere near the top of the I'm
gonna take him in the third round because he's got
a handshake like.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
A linebacker supposed to have. And that's what I want
for the Dallas Cowboys. It is ceremonial cosplay, is what
it is.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And he's doubling down on all this, which is fine
for my job here. I have to fill four hours
of airtime every night, so thank God for that. But
Jerry is the last of the Mohicans. You think about
Jerry Jones, his place in the football world, Jerry Jones
the last owner GM. Right with the cow This is
a throwback to an era when it was a mom
(22:30):
and pop business and teams did not have world class
gymnasiums and training equipment and all that stuff. No, No,
there was a time I remember we used to have
Fred Dryer in here. Was an NFL player for the
Rams and was a TV star, and Fred would tell
stories about when he was practicing with the La Rams
back in the old days, and before practice, the players
(22:53):
on the team would have to go pick up trash
on the field so the field was usable at some
local high school in LA they were practicing it. Do
you imagine going to an NFL locker room and saying,
all right, buys, you got to clean up the rubbish
on the field. We got some debris out there so
we can practice.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Are you kidding me? Do you know who I am?
I can't be bothered? What's wrong with you? So it's
obviously the world.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But Jerry Jones ad eight throwback to when the NFL
is a mom and pop business and he'll be riding
off into the sunset someday with the draft board in
one hand and a bottle of Johnny Walker blue in
the other.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
And he loves it. We all know he loves it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The chaos, the drama O rama, which is what he's
all about.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
And in many ways, Jerry's not just the last of
the mom and pop.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
NFL ownership GM groups, but he's also the last of
the football romantics.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
He is right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I think Jerry Jones, we think about retirement for Jerry Jones, right,
that is a dirty word.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
That is like you might as well say delicate. That
is no.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I think Jerry thinks delegation is like a French pastry
or something like that. Now, page two. So Micah Parsons,
he's also out there the Cowboys waiting to the very
end there will they pay Michaeh Parsons or not. My
belief is they'll wait till the eleventh hour and then
they'll sign Micah Parsons. But the standoff is continuing and
it's good for business for the Dallas Cowboys. So the
(24:24):
standoff Jerry Jones on one side, Michaeh Parsons on the other,
and it's a urinating match right now. So Micah Parsons
reposted on the Socials some criticism by Jane Jay Want
that's a terrible broadcaster ex jock claiming the Cowboys owner
took a shot at both Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott
(24:48):
for getting hurt.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
So where are you at on this one? All right?
So this is the give me a break? All right?
This is that please give me a break? What is
wrong with you? Michaeh.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Parsons is he's out there acting if I if I'm
reading the room the right way, Michael Parson's out there
acting like Jerry Jones just insulted his mother, his siblings,
his dog.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
I'm sure he's got some anime.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
He loves all of that, just taking shots at all
of those things that are very important to Micah Parsons. Uh.
And really all the guy did say was what he said, Hey,
we paid Dak, he got hurt. We might pay Micah
and he also got hurt last year. So where I
(25:35):
come from, that's not a personal attack. Now maybe for
you it's a personal thing. For me, it's not a
personal attack. That's Jerry Jones doing what Jerry Jones does
better than anyone when it comes to running your mouth.
He is Usane Bolt when it comes to running running
his mouth. And uh. And then of course about Micah
can't help it, and he's got to get in on this,
so he clicks the the repost and then it's like
(25:58):
he's filing a grievance with.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
H are you kidding me? Like, sirih, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here? This is the NFL. It's not some group therapy session.
You sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows and sing Kumbaya.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You're supposed to be a pass rushing beast. Michah Parsons right,
defensive freak of nature. I remember after two games a
couple of years ago in the Cowboys season when they
played the Jets and the Giants, the media had decided
that Michael Parsons was the second Coming, the reincarnation of
Lawrence Taylor, and then they had to play the rest
(26:34):
of the games. So we got this guy who's a
freak on the field, and you're gonna let your feelings
get bent out of shape because an eighty two year
old owner say, hey, you missed some games, which, by
the way, you did, so I would advise you to
try to grow a spine. I think you can probably
take a pill or a supplement that will grow a spine.
(26:56):
That would be the way to go. Might want to
get some thicker skin and all that stuff. And we
know that Jerry Jones is not buddy buddy. He's buddy,
but he's not buddy buddy with the players. He's buddy,
but he's the boss.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
There's that.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Separation between management and the players and all that. I mean,
Jerry's always just fishing for headlines, anyone, That's what this
is all about.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
And I am right there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Jerry's on a pontoon boat and he's got a cooler
full of cores light.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
And he is just loving this. He is loving it,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
He can't get enough of it. And so on this
one mission accomplished, Mission accomplished.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
MICHAEH.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Parsons weaponizing, Like, we know what he's doing. He's weaponizing.
This is what he's doing, right, because he's stirring the pot,
and he's all this.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Is so offensive to me. He's not right.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's stirring the pot because he's going to use the
cowboy fanboys. He's going to use them to start screaming
pay Micah, you must pay, Oh my god. And of
course Jerry will eventually eventually pay. Mike Parsons. We know
(28:08):
that's going to happen. It's just gonna grab more headlines.
It's like stacking hotcakes on top of each other.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
There's gonna be a headline. It's gonna be a headline.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And I said this in the past and I will
repeat it for those that are new to the store
and welcome into our store. We're open all night, we
don't close. There are no locks on the door. But
here's the thing. So Jerry must have been a huge
Bond fan. James Bond and Goldfinger James Bond. Remember the
scene is the classic scene. Wasn't the first I think
(28:40):
it was.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I forget who it was somebody else that they came
up with this scene, but it's been copied.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
A million times in Hollywood where in this one James
Bond and Goldfingers handcuffed to the death and Destruction machine
and the clock is ticking down until kaboom, and then
of course, shockingly, the machine of death, the Death and
(29:07):
Destruction machine stops with only seconds left on the clock.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
And there we go.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
We stopped fade to black Well that Michael Parsons is like,
that's what's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
The Cowboys gonna wait till the very end. Is gonna
come down? Is it gonna be right before the first game.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It'll be one of those Jay Glazers stories on the
NFL on Fox pregame where it's like, oh, the Cowboys
have announced they will announce today that Michael Parsons has
agreed to a new contract, and there you go. All right,
last word quickly. So former Bill's running back Nahim Heinz
is back in the NFL. Now he became infamous for
(29:45):
doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. So Naim
Heimes heines running back play with the Coles. Also, he
has reached agreement on a contract with the Chargers. Show
me your lightning bolt. And so what stands out about
this one? So this is the classic interchangeable parts because
it's not just a depth move by the Chargers. It's
(30:08):
not that this is a neon lit billboard flashing the neon. Wooooo,
that's what neon sounds like. Woooo Just like that, the
neon is flashing and it's Naji Harris. Naji Harris's injury
is really bad. Bad, bad to the eyeball, bad to
(30:29):
the eyeball. Now, remember that was the big offseason edition
running back one was Naji Harris from Pittsburgh. He is
already damaged. You don't go fishing for a guy like
Hines heem heines. You don't go fishing for a guy
like that who's been out of the NFL for not
one but two two years, right, because you're like, well
(30:53):
you listen, we just thought we'd add another extra running.
This guy went full Evil Knievel when he was in
Buffalo on a jet ski. This is a panic move
by the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh is looking at the depth chart.
He's like, man, I want to run the ball. I
want to run first. I'm a running coach, and our
running backs I don't trust him. I don't trust him.
(31:15):
And so he's panicking. He's got a smile on his face.
He's hiding behind a curtain looking out on the practice
field and he's looking at the depth chart and it's
like it's like a receipt from CBS.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He keeps going and going and going. Not all of quality.
There's a lot of stuff in there. The Chargers, by
my count, have seven running backs. Now that is not
running back by committee. Seven running backs. That is a
casting call for dancing with the depth chart.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Is what Jim Harball is doing on this.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And again I go back to Naji Herris, because that's
really what this is, is a dad giveaway that Naji Harris.
We'd heard reports as I was all messed up sucks
messing around with fireworks on the fourth and the thing
went wrong, ended up in the hospital in Northern California
at Stanford and.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
The agent's all, he'll be all, He'll be okay, he'll
be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Well, if it's a superficial eye injury and you already
have a bunch of running six running backs, now five,
you're gonna have another running back? Come on, superficial, my
fat ass, that superficial. So that is a PR spin
job spin spin, spin, his PR spin. It is PR
spin for we are not ready to admit how bad
(32:29):
it is. And so enter to the chat. Nahem Hines,
who has not played in the NFL since twenty twenty two.
So it's been a minute. That again jet ski accident
where he collided and it did not go well there
he shreddered his knee. We are told his knee look
like pulled pork by the time they put that thing
(32:52):
back together. And so now he's trying to try to
come back with the Chargers. He did try to come
back with the Cleveland Browns and never saw the field,
never saw the field, So this is again reached of desperation.
Himes was a pretty good ball player with the Colts
back in the day and showed a few flashes with Buffalo,
but that was before the pulled pork, knee popped up.

M monating live from the tune, the auto tune.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We're gonna try to avoid the auto tune of the
Mallard Palooza as we're hanging out here at the Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved listening on the other side
behind the pearly gates, Matt the Warrior Raider former as
fan Tom Brady Rose Fan. We lost Matt a while back,
and you know we always tune in from the other
side and this portion of the Ben Maler Show made
(01:22):
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 5 (01:25):

Com as approved by alfhialienal Pineter and Fergnog the way
(01:46):
tire bonding should be. So this is a special night,
this night different than all other nights on the show.
It's the biggest night in overnight sports radio this summer.
It's the Mallard Palooza. So that means that we're still
doing the the ma because they put that up on
the YouTube channel and Saga will kill me if we
don't do those. So just so he's recording this, so
(02:07):
he's I told him, I said, they're going to be shorter.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Do the monologues. I'll do the Malard monologues. They're going
to be short. We have a lot of acts.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We promoted the hell out of the Malar Palooza and
we've we've got a great turnout of people, a variety
of shows, different performers that will entertain us.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
We will introduce the Malapaloosa.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We will get the party started following the Mallard monologue.
Just give heads up, that's gonna be a different night.
You also will have a voice in this. Now I
don't know how many calls we're going to take just
from RANDO callers. However, if you have an X account,
you can give us real time feedback on the X
machine at Ben Mahler and we'll read your comments. So
we will review the acts and really the goal here
(02:49):
and we'll explain it as we go through the Malard Palosa.
But the goal is to get in the top four.
Because we will have our winner based on the judges
here and me and Loraina who and our surprise mystery judge.
We will all vote and then in addition, we will
have the voice of the people that will be you.
And so the top four acts, as the turn by us,
(03:11):
will go up for a vote. And so if you're
a podcast listener working the dreaded day shift, you will
be able to vote on that. So those are some
of the guidelines to get you set.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
But we begin with the Mallard monologue.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Our lead this hour from the name game from the
name of so over the weekend, just a random, sleepy
July weekend, the President decided to spice things up a
little bit here and enter the sporting world. And I
don't I you we're watching and paying attention, maybe not
got some headlines people freaking out here. So President Donald Trump,
(03:42):
if you saw this, he is threatening to hold up
a new stadium which is in the works for the
NFL's Washington franchise, the team in Washington. The President sending
out some comments on social media if they do not
restore the old name. Heil to the Redskins, Hey to
Victor Rey now. President Trump also said over the weekend
(04:04):
that he wants the Cleveland baseball team to change his
name back as well, to revert to the former name
the Indians, which I know will make Dick and Dayton
very happy if they do do that. He still calls
him that, he said the President. There is a big
clamoring for this as well. So all and of course
people freaked out, like the sports media. Oh my god.
(04:26):
All right, So let us discuss the question, how do
you evaluate President Donald Trump calling on the Redskins and Indians'
nicknames to return to pro sports. So on this one,
I've got Tsunami and Mendoza line and that's it, all right,
So a I get a kick.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Out of the media meltdown.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So I'm perusing the commentary and people are losing their
fricking minds, right, some of the sports media people. Some
of these people, I know, they're losing their minds. Right,
They're clutching their pearls. Oh my god, it's like they
need one of those old school Victorian fainting couches.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
They're so emotional by this.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And here's why, right, because when you break it down unscientifically, right,
when you break it down, and if you're actually honest
about the story, it was political. The reason those team
names change was the political climate in America. The teams
bowed down to the politics at the time they changed
(05:30):
their names, the names that had been around for a
very long time. And now it's political again, right, it's
different politics, but it's political again. President Trump daring suggesting
to people it's changing the names back now. Now, Trump
is he's tapping into something here, the President that there's.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
A lot of people that agree with him, a lot
of it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
In fact, I've talked abouts I have some boots on
the ground in the Washington, DC area who have informed
me the Redskins or the Commanders have done market research
for years since they changed the name, and they've asked like,
what name do you want? What name you know, and
overwhelming the people that actually buy tickets, the actual customers,
have said Redskins, that's the name they want back. And
(06:13):
so that you know, people don't bring that up, that's
what they want. And so they're like, hey, listen, the
people that follow the team that actually pay for the
tickets and buy the merchandise that's all overpriced, they're like, hey,
we like this.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
We don't want to scrub this. We like this. This
is the name. And in the.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Years and I understand, we were in a period in
like twenty twenty twenty twenty one, like there was this
weird period here in America where we were rewriting history
right there were you know, knocking down statues. It got
rid of the Redskins name. The Indians name got swallowed
up by the tsunami that was taking place in America.
You had owners of heritage franchises right, American institutions we're
(06:51):
told like these are these are community trusts, these professional
sports teams who were bending down genuflecting faster than referee
trying to put the ball down for Tom Brady back
in the day when.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
He was playing for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And so it was not because the fans the customers
demanded that these names go away. That was not it
at all. In fact, it was the opposite of that.
It was because of some social media mob that was
out there that needed fresh meat and they're like, all right,
just eat everything up. And these professional sports leagues bowed
down to that. But keep in mind there were people
(07:24):
that had backbone in sports that didn't do that. The
Atlanta Braves. Major League Baseball wanted the Braves to change
their nickname because of the political climate. The Atlanta Braves
still exist. If it was up to the mob, the
Atlanta Braves would have gone away. You can go down
the hockey team in Chicago, the Blackhawks. There were people
there they should change the name. In college, the Florida
(07:45):
State Seminoles, there was a push you gotta get rid
of the seminal. I don't care if the Indian group supported.
You got to get rid of it. You know, some
liberal white people don't like it. You gotta get rid
of it. So listen that the names are alive. Those
names are alive today because they had owners that had
a back bone. The Washington Redskins Cleveland Indians did not
have owners that have backbone. So now the president's calling out.
(08:06):
Now the other part of that, like if you were
to say pagetuo, what are the chances, what are the
chances that the commanders in the NFL and the Guardians
in Major League Baseball were to actually do the old
switch oroule and go back to the old name. I
just go back to the old name. It's not great.
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it's great.
I don't think it is great because they know, these
(08:28):
teams know. It's just they got to hold their ground
because Trump's only gonna be president for a few more
years and then somebody else will be in the White House.
So they just have to ride the wave here. But
it's not zero, Okay, it's not zero. The reason it's
not zero the Washington Commanders what a dumb name, and
the Cleveland Guardians an equally dumb name. The current names
they've had those names since twenty twenty two. So here
we are in the summer of twenty twenty five. Both
(08:51):
have said they don't plan to change their name. Of course,
spoiler alert spoiler. Both of them said for years they
were not going to change the name Indians and Redskins,
So who cares what they say. They never said they
were gonna change the names in the first place. They did,
but they said they weren't, and they finally, you know,
(09:12):
they broke down and changed the name. But I'm gonna
set the malarods on this at plus four hundred. I'm
gonna set the malarods on this at plus four hundred.
That is a two hundred hitter. That is the Mendoza line.
That is the Mendoza line in baseball. Baseball player Mario Mendoza,
So two UNDERD batting average, and if you look at
the two UNDERD batting average, that sucks, right, that's terrible.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That is the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Threshold for offensive futility allow in modern baseball. That's acceptable.
In the old days it wasn't. But the name Jange,
if you go from the Redskins and the Guardians, this
is like the symbol of the outrage era that we
were in, right, This is like they changed to these names.
The Great Purge of sports mascots, which they took those down,
(09:57):
and also a bunch of high.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
School teams had to change their name, all this stuff,
and some colleges.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But to replace the Commanders and the Guardians. Those names,
those replacement names right there terrible. They suck. I mean,
there's so bad. It's like the bureaucrats got together and
it's like some kind of dystopian sci fi thing. They
got together. We've got to get a committee together, because
(10:24):
everyoneing needs a committee. We've got to have branding, and
how can we come up with a name. We'll get
a committee together and let's have some meetings. We'll do
some zoom meetings. So it was twenty twenty and it's
like the mascots were put together by the Department of
the Bland. How can it be the most bland possible nickname?
And the Bland, I mean, it's so stupid, right, And
(10:45):
so they came up with Guardians, and they came up
with the Commanders, and they were selected. I am convinced.
I was not in the room, but I am convinced,
nonetheless that those nicknames were selected for one reason, and
one reason only.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
To offend no one right. Their goal.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We do not want to we're gonna name the Cleveland
baseball team after a bridge. They named it after a
bridge and the commanders it sounds like some ripoff Gi.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Joe character or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So in the process of trying not to offend anyone,
which was the goal, they have managed to offend everyone. Right,
Everyone's like, this is so stupid. It's lifeless. There's no energy,
there's no passion. And the logos they came up with,
I think I could come up with that if you
gave me AI, I get you chat, GPT or whatever,
I could come up with a logo like that. They're minimalists,
(11:35):
they're forgettable logos. Why would anyone buy merchandise for these teams?
I mean it's the logos are just blah. You can
create a better logo on your phone than a professional
sports team. Why would you buy that logo? Like, it
makes no sense. They're sanitized their shrink wrap. It's just
they just blow uh. And it was like some kind
(11:57):
of diversity inclusion marketing division came up with him.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It is terrible. They're horrible, and.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It's they've got a bout as much edge as a cracker,
you know, like a gluten freak.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Cracker. It's just nothing. There's just blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And then to compound the issue, right, you compound the issue,
you get rid of names that had a legacy, that
had a following, that had tradition, all stuff, and.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
The the new name and.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You combine the name and the logo and it's like
plain oatmeal is what it is.

some of them good, some of them will try to
pretend it didn't happen. And we made it through the night.
We survived we hope for better in the future. But
we did it, and we thank you for participating.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Those of you that did.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And we'd like to have less comedy and more impersonations
and some other stuff. So nonetheless, our lead this out
not from me, mallord palooza, No, no, no, it is
all about Jerry's world. It's all about Jerry's world. So
the Dallas Cowboys are back. You'd expect daily Cowboy updates?
(16:00):
Why why not?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
What the hell? Right? So if you have not been following.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The football news of the day, as we are in
the training camp portion of the schedule with a cadrey
of teams with rookies, some veterans with certain teams have arrived.
So if you haven't been following all this, perhaps not.
The Dallas Cowboys always good at feeding the content machine
in these parts, and they have done it yet again,
(16:25):
so Jerry Jones admitted recently. In fact, in a gaggle
with reporters, he admitted that there have been moments that
he thought about stepping away. He has been the Dallas
Cowboys GM my entire life, well close to it, but
Jerry Jones said there were moments he thought about stepping
(16:48):
away as the general manager of the Cowboys. But not
very long, he said, not very long. Small fractions of seconds,
Jerry said. Jerry says he remains committed to winning a
Super Bowl. All right, exciting and he knows that now
these of course older, it's in his eighties now, he says,
(17:09):
I'm living for now, Jerry Jones said, So let us
discuss the question. Jerry Jones going on the record, Jerry
Jones saying that he thought about stepping away from the
Cowboy GM duties. Is this a big deal, a little
deal or no deal?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Now? That is the question. What is the answers?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I've got Johnny Walker, Blue Pontoon, boat and casting call,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a delicious banana cream pie,
homemade banana cream pie, chef's kiss. So a to answer
the question, this is no deal, right, this is no
(17:54):
deal now, Jerry said, small fractions of seconds. When claiming
that he did contemplate stepping away as the GM of
the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
That is not a.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Reflection, okay. That that's like indigestion.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Is what it's like.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I ate a little too fast, you know, and I
eat frozen food. I eat ice cream or something like that.
Sometimes I'll that's sometimes it happens all the time. I'll
eat it too fast and then I get that that
ice cream headache you know, you gotta it's it's just terrible.
And then it goes away in like thirty seconds and
you go right back to doing what you were doing.
(18:30):
And so Jerry Jones saying, well, you know, it was
small fractions of a second, the seconds that I thought about.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
No longer being the Cowboys GM.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That is the It's like the moment between eating taking
a bite of a pistromi sandwich and realizing you didn't
take the napkin and there's some mustard coming off the
pastrami sandwich.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
It's gonna get all over you, and it's a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It is, right, but Jerry Jones has been the Cowboys
general manager since Ronald Reagan was the president. He's not
stepping down.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He's just doubling down, is what he is. And he's
picking the groceries. And I don't blame people goof on
Jerry Jones and all that's fine to goof on him,
because the Cowboys have been an embarrassment for over a generation.
If I bought an NFL team and I was in
charge of the NFL, that's the fun part. Who doesn't
want to do the fun part. I don't want to
(19:27):
sit there and just hang out at cocktail parties. I
want to pick the players. And Jerry gets to do that.
He gets to pick the groceries the famous old line
by Bill Parcells years ago. And he gets to rearrange
the pantry and all that and gives a chef's kiss
when things go well, and when things don't go well,
he points at his his other people in the kitchen
and blames them. Jerry Jones. The idea that he would
(19:50):
give up the general manager duties a non starter, right,
It's a non starter. That is his identity. It is you.
You know it, and I know it. He is the owner,
he's the GM. I'm pretty sure he takes care of
the catering. They have a catering business there. And I
would imagine that Jerry goes into the locker room and decides,
(20:12):
what ply toilet paper? What ply toilet paper do we
give the cowboy players in the locker room, Because really,
anythink about.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It, that's an expense that you could use that.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Cheap one ply toilet paper were you end up having
to use an entire role for one flush, and then
you can use like the really high end product you
can get at Costco, which will cost you a little
bit more, and it adds up.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Jerry Jones also said, as we told you, he's committed
to winning the Super Bowl and says he's living for now.
So what does that mean? So let's try to decipher
that part of the rhetoric from Jerry Jones. So it's
an encrypted message. Jerry saying I'm eighty two. He said,
(20:58):
I'm eighty two, and I think I can out scout
half of the NFL is essentially what Jerry is saying.
And he's not gonna use AI. He's not gonna use
the NERD numbers. He's gonna go with binoculars and gut feeling.
That is what's gonna He's not none need AI, no pointdexter,
no analytics. Jerry's got his binoculars and he's looking around
(21:21):
and he's got he's probably got a clipboard in a
whistle and a number two pencil, and that's how he
does it. Because Jerry Jones is from the old Country.
Jerry's from the old country. He's the kind of guy
who watches a college football game. I He'll watch an
SEC game on a Saturday afternoon and says, you know,
(21:41):
I think that kid, that number fifty six has got
brass balls. I like the way that guy plays, and
I'm gonna draft that guy, even though he's not projected
to be drafted anywhere near the top of the I'm
gonna take him in the third round because he's got
a handshake like.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
A linebacker supposed to have. And that's what I want
for the Dallas Cowboys. It is ceremonial cosplay, is what
it is.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And he's doubling down on all this, which is fine
for my job here. I have to fill four hours
of airtime every night, so thank God for that. But
Jerry is the last of the Mohicans. You think about
Jerry Jones, his place in the football world, Jerry Jones
the last owner GM. Right with the cow This is
a throwback to an era when it was a mom
(22:30):
and pop business and teams did not have world class
gymnasiums and training equipment and all that stuff. No, No,
there was a time I remember we used to have
Fred Dryer in here. Was an NFL player for the
Rams and was a TV star, and Fred would tell
stories about when he was practicing with the La Rams
back in the old days, and before practice, the players
(22:53):
on the team would have to go pick up trash
on the field so the field was usable at some
local high school in LA they were practicing it. Do
you imagine going to an NFL locker room and saying,
all right, buys, you got to clean up the rubbish
on the field. We got some debris out there so
we can practice.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Are you kidding me? Do you know who I am?
I can't be bothered? What's wrong with you? So it's
obviously the world.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But Jerry Jones ad eight throwback to when the NFL
is a mom and pop business and he'll be riding
off into the sunset someday with the draft board in
one hand and a bottle of Johnny Walker blue in
the other.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
And he loves it. We all know he loves it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The chaos, the drama O rama, which is what he's
all about.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
And in many ways, Jerry's not just the last of
the mom and pop.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
NFL ownership GM groups, but he's also the last of
the football romantics.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
He is right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I think Jerry Jones, we think about retirement for Jerry Jones, right,
that is a dirty word.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
That is like you might as well say delicate. That
is no.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I think Jerry thinks delegation is like a French pastry
or something like that. Now, page two. So Micah Parsons,
he's also out there the Cowboys waiting to the very
end there will they pay Michaeh Parsons or not. My
belief is they'll wait till the eleventh hour and then
they'll sign Micah Parsons. But the standoff is continuing and
it's good for business for the Dallas Cowboys. So the
(24:24):
standoff Jerry Jones on one side, Michaeh Parsons on the other,
and it's a urinating match right now. So Micah Parsons
reposted on the Socials some criticism by Jane Jay Want
that's a terrible broadcaster ex jock claiming the Cowboys owner
took a shot at both Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott
(24:48):
for getting hurt.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
So where are you at on this one? All right?
So this is the give me a break? All right?
This is that please give me a break? What is
wrong with you? Michaeh.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Parsons is he's out there acting if I if I'm
reading the room the right way, Michael Parson's out there
acting like Jerry Jones just insulted his mother, his siblings,
his dog.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
I'm sure he's got some anime.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
He loves all of that, just taking shots at all
of those things that are very important to Micah Parsons. Uh.
And really all the guy did say was what he said, Hey,
we paid Dak, he got hurt. We might pay Micah
and he also got hurt last year. So where I
(25:35):
come from, that's not a personal attack. Now maybe for
you it's a personal thing. For me, it's not a
personal attack. That's Jerry Jones doing what Jerry Jones does
better than anyone when it comes to running your mouth.
He is Usane Bolt when it comes to running running
his mouth. And uh. And then of course about Micah
can't help it, and he's got to get in on this,
so he clicks the the repost and then it's like
(25:58):
he's filing a grievance with.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
H are you kidding me? Like, sirih, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here? This is the NFL. It's not some group therapy session.
You sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows and sing Kumbaya.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You're supposed to be a pass rushing beast. Michah Parsons right,
defensive freak of nature. I remember after two games a
couple of years ago in the Cowboys season when they
played the Jets and the Giants, the media had decided
that Michael Parsons was the second Coming, the reincarnation of
Lawrence Taylor, and then they had to play the rest
(26:34):
of the games. So we got this guy who's a
freak on the field, and you're gonna let your feelings
get bent out of shape because an eighty two year
old owner say, hey, you missed some games, which, by
the way, you did, so I would advise you to
try to grow a spine. I think you can probably
take a pill or a supplement that will grow a spine.
(26:56):
That would be the way to go. Might want to
get some thicker skin and all that stuff. And we
know that Jerry Jones is not buddy buddy. He's buddy,
but he's not buddy buddy with the players. He's buddy,
but he's the boss.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
There's that.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Separation between management and the players and all that. I mean,
Jerry's always just fishing for headlines, anyone, That's what this
is all about.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
And I am right there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Jerry's on a pontoon boat and he's got a cooler
full of cores light.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
And he is just loving this. He is loving it,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
He can't get enough of it. And so on this
one mission accomplished, Mission accomplished.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
MICHAEH.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Parsons weaponizing, Like, we know what he's doing. He's weaponizing.
This is what he's doing, right, because he's stirring the pot,
and he's all this.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Is so offensive to me. He's not right.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's stirring the pot because he's going to use the
cowboy fanboys. He's going to use them to start screaming
pay Micah, you must pay, Oh my god. And of
course Jerry will eventually eventually pay. Mike Parsons. We know
(28:08):
that's going to happen. It's just gonna grab more headlines.
It's like stacking hotcakes on top of each other.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
There's gonna be a headline. It's gonna be a headline.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And I said this in the past and I will
repeat it for those that are new to the store
and welcome into our store. We're open all night, we
don't close. There are no locks on the door. But
here's the thing. So Jerry must have been a huge
Bond fan. James Bond and Goldfinger James Bond. Remember the
scene is the classic scene. Wasn't the first I think
(28:40):
it was.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I forget who it was somebody else that they came
up with this scene, but it's been copied.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
A million times in Hollywood where in this one James
Bond and Goldfingers handcuffed to the death and Destruction machine
and the clock is ticking down until kaboom, and then
of course, shockingly, the machine of death, the Death and
(29:07):
Destruction machine stops with only seconds left on the clock.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
And there we go.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
We stopped fade to black Well that Michael Parsons is like,
that's what's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
The Cowboys gonna wait till the very end. Is gonna
come down? Is it gonna be right before the first game.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It'll be one of those Jay Glazers stories on the
NFL on Fox pregame where it's like, oh, the Cowboys
have announced they will announce today that Michael Parsons has
agreed to a new contract, and there you go. All right,
last word quickly. So former Bill's running back Nahim Heinz
is back in the NFL. Now he became infamous for
(29:45):
doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. So Naim
Heimes heines running back play with the Coles. Also, he
has reached agreement on a contract with the Chargers. Show
me your lightning bolt. And so what stands out about
this one? So this is the classic interchangeable parts because
it's not just a depth move by the Chargers. It's
(30:08):
not that this is a neon lit billboard flashing the neon. Wooooo,
that's what neon sounds like. Woooo Just like that, the
neon is flashing and it's Naji Harris. Naji Harris's injury
is really bad. Bad, bad to the eyeball, bad to
(30:29):
the eyeball. Now, remember that was the big offseason edition
running back one was Naji Harris from Pittsburgh. He is
already damaged. You don't go fishing for a guy like
Hines heem heines. You don't go fishing for a guy
like that who's been out of the NFL for not
one but two two years, right, because you're like, well
(30:53):
you listen, we just thought we'd add another extra running.
This guy went full Evil Knievel when he was in
Buffalo on a jet ski. This is a panic move
by the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh is looking at the depth chart.
He's like, man, I want to run the ball. I
want to run first. I'm a running coach, and our
running backs I don't trust him. I don't trust him.
(31:15):
And so he's panicking. He's got a smile on his face.
He's hiding behind a curtain looking out on the practice
field and he's looking at the depth chart and it's
like it's like a receipt from CBS.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He keeps going and going and going. Not all of quality.
There's a lot of stuff in there. The Chargers, by
my count, have seven running backs. Now that is not
running back by committee. Seven running backs. That is a
casting call for dancing with the depth chart.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Is what Jim Harball is doing on this.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
And again I go back to Naji Herris, because that's
really what this is, is a dad giveaway that Naji Harris.
We'd heard reports as I was all messed up sucks
messing around with fireworks on the fourth and the thing
went wrong, ended up in the hospital in Northern California
at Stanford and.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
The agent's all, he'll be all, He'll be okay, he'll
be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Well, if it's a superficial eye injury and you already
have a bunch of running six running backs, now five,
you're gonna have another running back? Come on, superficial, my
fat ass, that superficial. So that is a PR spin
job spin spin, spin, his PR spin. It is PR
spin for we are not ready to admit how bad
(32:29):
it is. And so enter to the chat. Nahem Hines,
who has not played in the NFL since twenty twenty two.
So it's been a minute. That again jet ski accident
where he collided and it did not go well there
he shreddered his knee. We are told his knee look
like pulled pork by the time they put that thing
(32:52):
back together. And so now he's trying to try to
come back with the Chargers. He did try to come
back with the Cleveland Browns and never saw the field,
never saw the field, So this is again reached of desperation.
Himes was a pretty good ball player with the Colts
back in the day and showed a few flashes with Buffalo,
but that was before the pulled pork, knee popped up.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
