Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I continue to be fascinated by the story that's not
a story if you're in the mainstream football establishment media
continues to give every possible red flag you could possibly
want of a cover up, and it just it was like,
we'll move on, there's nothing to see here. It's like,
what so, our lead is from San Francisco, a electrical
(00:53):
substation near you. Wink wink, nod nod dateline Santa Clair,
where forty nine Ers coach Kyle Shanahan. Yep, Kyle Shanahan
spoke publicly over the weekend about the car accident. You know,
the car accident where nothing came out for eleven days
and then there was a police cover up of the
(01:14):
car accident. Because that happens all the time. Yeah. Shanahan
reiterated that he caused the accident. He says he did it, saying,
anyone responsible for an avoidable crash that you know it
could hurt someone else would feel pretty stupid. So he
feels he feels stupid. Okay, Now the big new detail,
(01:35):
the juicy lucy detail. Shanahan saying that his Tesla was
on autopilot when he turned around to retrieve his phone.
Wink wink, nod not I added that phone had fallen
from his lap into the back seat. So I've had
my phone, I've dropped it and then it falls between
(01:58):
the seats. I've never had to go to the I've
never had that happen. Have you ever had that happen?
I feel like that's hard to have the phone go
to the back seat. Anyway, that's what he said. He
said the phone went to the backseat of the car.
Shannan said he had it was using the autopilot for
he's used it for nine years. Nine years on autopilot,
must be nice, and he said, became very comfortable with
(02:20):
it and just turned around and the next thing, you know,
come boom right there. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
How does forty nine ers coach Kyle Shanahan adding the
latest Tesla auto pilot nugget to the crash story, How
(02:42):
does that change things? So I've got Anti Ann's Roast
Master General and Britney Spears, and we'll combine all of
these things together and we're gonna play Connect three. Now.
In order to play Connect three, in order to play
Connect three, you have to go number wa on one
(03:05):
one one one one if you're keeping score at home.
And if you're keeping score at home, boy, what a loser.
Uh So, the first there was the accident check, Then
there was the eleven day cone of silence. The story
was in bargoed check check, no body cam footage ever
(03:29):
to be released. The police cover up check check check
and now plot twist. Blame it on the pilot, Blame
it on the autopilot. It was involved. This story, the
Kyle Shanahan car accident story, has had more twists than
an Anti Anne's pretzel factory. Just a twist there, and
(03:52):
a twist over here, and twist for you and for
you in the back. Everyone has this wist. Now, adding
autopilot just makes the whole thing even more suspicious, even
more suspicious now, So the forty nine ers, along with
Shanahan and the security advisors of the forty nine ers
and the pr Bozos, these guys got together and they
(04:14):
created this fire breathing Dragon. Now, fortunately, a lot of
the media are they're friendly, useful idiots, and they don't
really care about the story because they just want to
hang out and have lunch with the executives and the
forty nine ers. They don't want to rock the boat.
And so the fire breathing Monster was created by the
franchise there in San Francisco, and that they handled this
(04:37):
story like they were trying to smuggle plutonium, okay, And
had they simply acknowledged if this was an honest accident,
if they'd simply acknowledged it right away instead of treating
it like it was Area fifty one and the lizard
people were going to see you and you were going
to see them, and that's the problem, there would be
far less scrutiny, far less scrutiny. There is a lot
(05:00):
of people just lazy and they don't really care because
you know, anything interesting, Oh, I don't know. We shouldn't
pry a round about that and all that crap. But
eleven days is an absolute fricking eternity in damage control time.
So again, as we said in previous episodes, and so
the math isn't mathing. And now you add this latest
(05:21):
wrinkle to the story, and we've officially entered the twilight zone.
Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do do doo. Yes, reality bends in a
press release. It does. Now. The good news is, I
have been told by my friends that have teslas, the
bougie people with their little teslas, that these things are
(05:42):
computers on wheels. They love to brag and tell me
how amazing these teslas are. They always tell me that,
uh and they they say they have the receipts there,
they have all the data. And you're always being tracked
when you're a little tesla. So everything's being tracked, and
that will tell the real tale. If that is accurate,
if everything I've heard, you know, I've heard it over
the years. If this is accurate, everything's tracked, that tesla
(06:05):
would know whether there was an actual malfunction or not
in Kyle Shanahan's Autopilot. Until then, every new creation out
of thin air. I say, creation of an explanation out
of thin air creates three more questions, at least three
more questions. So again, if there was nothing to hide,
(06:27):
why are you hiding stuff? Explain that. I'll wait, I'll
take your answer off there right now. Page duode to Canton,
Ohio Hall of Fame weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Why they really milk it, don't. They used to be
real quick, get that thing over with. Now they milk it.
They get the Hall of Fame game, they got a
dinner event on Friday, they got the ceremony on Saturday.
It's a whole big to do this Hall of Fame,
whole big to do. So the Hall of Fame class
included Roger Craig. We found out Roger Craig has some
health problems, some bad stuff going on with Roger Craig.
(06:58):
So good thoughts his direction, So that's terrible. And Drew
Brees got up there and boring as always, and then
Adam VINITERI though, Adam Vinitary, this guy, what a lightning rod?
Did you see this? No? All right? So Adam Vinita
used the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech to
goof on Bill Belichick and his little girl friend thing. Yeah,
(07:22):
all right, now, he used to punchline about Belichick's relationship
with his twenty five year old fluozy Jeordn Hudson, who
is I believe, forty nine years younger than Bill Belichick,
and that inspired Adam Vinitiera. Let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I would repeat those last few statements about coach Bill
Belichick as well. Thank you for demanding excellence every single day.
Your preparation, discipline, and attention to detail shaped far more
than my football career. Unfortunately, Bill couldn't make it here today.
There's a lot going on at UNC right now. Oh,
(08:03):
he may be on a recruiting trip right now, looking
for the next Lawrence Taylor. I thought it was because
training camp had already started, but in truth, it's because
he's judging its girlfriend's cheerleading competition.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
My god, I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
There you go, there's Adam Vinitary. So this created a hullabaloo.
And I always love a good haullabaloo. I don't know
about you, but I enjoy a nice haull of baloo.
So the question is, did Adam Vinitary cross the line
planting a joke about Bill Belichick's what was he forty
(08:37):
nine year younger girlfriend there at the Hall of Fame
speech in the hallowed halls of Canton, Ohio. So I'm
gonna ask you this, listen, crossing the line a bit
too dramatic for me. It's a stupid Hall of Fame speech.
It's a bit too dramatic to say that. But to
use a line from Bill Belichick's days with the Patriots,
(08:59):
this was an end meaning, a mental error by Adam Venitari.
It was an emmy. It was a mental error, completely unforced.
Canton is a football mausoleum, a cathedral of the pig skin,
and that is where you are able to go if
you're lucky enough and get up on the stage there
(09:19):
in Canton, and you get to deliver your own eulogy.
You know, when you're gonna die, We're all gonna die,
and someone else is going to speak on our behalf
at a funeral in the Hall of Fame. You're dead
as a player, and yet you get to serve as
your own speaker at your funeral. You get to give
(09:41):
the eulogy of your life in football. And so this
is a very special thing to a lot of people.
Because you're still breathing, You're not dead. It's a big deal.
So future generations, you would think down the line, you know,
a couple of generations down the line. What was that
game football they used to play in America? Yeah, it
was called the NFL and it just went away, really
went away. And did we have a relative? Yeah, yeah,
(10:02):
your third uncle twice removed from the gardener's daughter's cousin played. Yeah,
he's in the Hall of Fame. Oh really? Can I
watch the speech? Yes, well, just download it to your brain.
You can watch Adam Vnentery's speech. Who is that woman
that he was talking about? I don't know what was it? Yeah,
(10:26):
so his family down the line, future generations, we'll be
able to watch the tape of Adam VNITII, who turned
this into a bit of an open mic night at
the Comedy Store. But wait, there's more. It wasn't just
Belichick who got the razzle dazzle from Adam Vinitari, the jokester.
He also goofed on podcaster Pat McAfee, who was a
(10:48):
punter for the Colts when Vinitari was on the Colts.
He said, the only person who enjoyed holding my balls
more than my wife was. Pat McAfee. That's good balls joke, right,
come on, solid, it's trying to get a job at barstool.
It sounds like to me. But anyway, all right, so hey, listen,
this just in to Fox Sports Radio, Adam Vinetaria. It's
going to shock you at him. You are not the
(11:10):
Roastmaster General Jeff Ross. You're not doing a Netflix comedy special.
You're not time and Place. You save those jokes at
least for the Ramada in Lounge and Akron. You can
do those on Friday night. We'll book it for the
Ramada in Lounge and Akron. Now, besides, keep in mind
the Sigmund Freud theory on this. We quote this a lot,
(11:33):
that there is truth in every joke, that there is
a bit of truth in every joke. Besides, listen, Vinitary,
I believe he was annoyed that Belichick wasn't there. I
think he was annoyed, and Belichick was annoyed because he
didn't get in the Hall of Fame and he's dealing
with the Hall of Fame snub Belichick and people goofing
on him, shooping. A much younger lady, and then you've
(11:55):
got the unc pressure cooker that's not going very well.
Vintary just said, you know what, let's get some Morton's
Kosher salt and we'll pour that all over the open wound.
Who says, no, why not right over Belichick's clam chatta.
We'll put that Morton's kosher salt. Okay. So it wasn't offensive,
(12:15):
it was just like the whole thing was just like playful, awkward.
Unnecessary would be the word I would use. Unnecessary. And
a guy who was the definition persona of clutch, Adam Vinitari.
If you needed a big kick, Adam Vinitari was your
guy for most of his career. And then he walks
into this cathedral of football and he's dressed like Krusty
(12:38):
the Clown, wearing crusty shoes, and the whole thing all
right now, final point to DC we go and we
had Stefan Diggs agree to a contract while we were away. Diggs,
joining the Washington football team formerly known as the Redskins
over the weekend, agreed to a one year deal worth
up to up to twelve million, and he returns to
(13:01):
the team that's from his home area. When he was
little Stefan Diggs growing up. So there you go. And
immediately over the weekend he became part of a viral
moment at training camp and that if you didn't see this,
this is pretty funny. So Commander's guard Sam Cosmy. I
believe that sasas name. Nobody knows offensive lineman names unless
(13:22):
they're really bad or really good. He's not really bad
or really good. He's just there, so we'll call him
Sam Cosmy. So this guy welcomes Stefan Diggs. He was
doing an interview about Diggs and all that stuff because
I guess they couldn't get anyone else to interview. So
the interview the offensive lineman and was goofing about the
long standing reputation of Diggs with the ladies, and man
(13:44):
legendary asked about his new teammate, the Washington offensive lineman cracked.
I wouldn't let him date my sister, is what he said.
Now that comment was a callback my brothers and sisters
in Minnesota. They know the great line from a couple
of years back there when many teams ago, when Stefan
Diggs was playing for the Minnesota Vikings, and they went
(14:05):
around the locker room and they asked the players, you know,
who would you want to date your your sister? Who
do you not want to date your sister? And overwhelmingly
the player that they did not want to pick to
date their sister it was Stefon Digs and didn't want that,
all right. So the question, here's the question, how did
you score wide receiver Stefon Diggs taking shrapnel from his
(14:29):
new commander's co worker, this offensive lineman over his mad
riz with the ladies. So I've got I got this.
I wrote down an E on my scorecard as in
earned well earned for Stefan dis Now, I don't know
Stefon Diggs from a lamppost. I just heard the same
thing year after year after year. So there must be
(14:50):
something there, and I just got to be something, A
little colonel, a little colonel of truth. There has to
be something there. So Sam Cosmy didn't serve up something
out the left field. This has been simmering on the
back of the stove for a while, and it's a
classic joke. It's really not even a joke. It's more
of a PSA doing overnight radio. I know a thing
(15:10):
or two about PSA's public service announcement delivered with the
rage of a man who's seen Stefan Diggs body count.
And you know, they have Pro Football Reference, they have
Baseball Reference, they have Basketball Reference for Stefan Diggs. They
have Booty Reference on there for for him. You can
(15:30):
go check that out. And maybe not because that might
be a dirty sight. I don't know. I just made
that up, so that's probably not probably not legit. Now
Diggs walks in to the Commander's facility, Steffon Diggs there,
and it's it's like in my head, the cartoon bubble
in my head, like the guys start clutching their family photos,
like the the you know, the I R s. He's
the irs, you know, like, oh crap, here comes the
(15:52):
irs to the classic Brittany Spears song back in the
day Womanizer, and Diggs's reputation precedes him as he is dangerous.
Apparently for the ladies, he's seductive. He's mister Beefcake and
women find him irresistible before he choos them up and
spits them out, which I think is the opposite of
(16:14):
man eater now, which is that's the opposite of how
that works there. So anyway, this should be a spin
off for HBO. They should have a spin off on this.
It's Hard Knocks the Passive Aggressive addition starring Stefon Diggs.
The guy. Stefon Diggs, the guy should not be You
should not be talking to him. That's it, and he's
(16:38):
at this point, Diggs. Stefan Diggs is the only NFL
player we believe who gets double teamed on Family Night.
You know when they invite the wives and girlfriends and
the kids and his two people guard Digs at all time,
two people as AC DC Kroon back in the day,
dirty deeds done dirt cheap there. So Stefon Diggs, he
(17:01):
is got it going. He's got it going.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
The quarterback competition has ended in a purple hayes a
purple haze there. If you have not heard, perhaps not,
maybe we're not paying attention. Bad job by you. The
Minnesota Vikings have officially named Alligander Arms Murray. Yes, Kyler Murray,
the little fella catch the big boy seat, He got
(18:36):
the booster seat. Kyler Murray got the booster seat in
Minnesota a man, so he will be the starting quarterback
and J. J. McCarthy officially demoted demoted as the number
two option there so Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings coach, confirming
(18:59):
that Tyler Murray winning the competition despite having some very
shaky practices apparently by those that actually get paid to
watch that crap. Here's Kevin O'Connell, I believe. Here's the
Vikings head coach commenting on the decision. Take as I.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Know, there's a lot of kind of reports and things
out there regarding our quarterback situation, and just wanted to
start out and say, you know, we did, you know,
after some some dialogue in house and just kind of
daily you know, analyzing the overall of where we're at
right now, we did name Kyler Murray our starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
From the outset of of the off season.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
You know, I think we've been really intentional open about,
you know, kind of the goal of creating just a
competitive environment filled with wildly capable players that could then
obviously elevate our quarterback room through that process and in
doing so, you know, elevate our team.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Okay, well, if you enjoy and it's selling a very
confident man. And I gotta tell you I wouldn't be
confident either if I was having to name Kyler Murray
as my quarterback. Holy crap. We're screwed. We are absolutely screwed.
If you're the Vikings. My god, poor Kevin O'Connell, he'll
be working at the NFL Network doing a podcast at
(20:20):
barstool before you know it. Holy crap. Anyway, O'Connell's you
heard there confirming the news that the little guy won
the job. O'Connell said, Murray, as you heard it had
shown enough. And later on he talked about his accuracy,
which I keep seeing stories about him throwing interceptions, But
his accuracy is athleticism, really intelligence. They're just making crap
(20:46):
up now. Command of the offense, they will lie to
your face, all right, So all of that is a
good jumping off point. Let us discuss I have no
skin in the game. The question what does the announcement
by Kevin O'Connell that Kyler Murray will be the Vikings
(21:06):
QB number one? What does that tell us? What does
that tell us? So my thoughts on this, I've got
free trial subscription, supersonic turbo booster, rocket and super Scooper
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have a juicy Lucy. Now, when
I was lucky enough to visit the holy land of
(21:28):
the Juicy Lucy. A few years ago in Minnesota. I
stopped at all the local establishments there, all of them,
all of them, to enjoy the fun of those, and
they were all great. There was one I forget well,
in Saint Paul. I thought I liked them. I think
I went there twice. Not that that matters, all right.
So to answer the question, what does this announcement, what
(21:50):
does this announcement of Kyler Murray's the Vikings QB number one?
What does that tell us?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
This was a rigged carnival game. This was a rigged
carnival game from the very beginning. You know it, and
I know it. Every man, woman and child that paid
any attention knows it. There was no legitimate quarterback competition
in Minnesota. This was a trip to the theater. We're
gonna go out and see a show. Well, what theater
(22:16):
are we gonna go to. We're gonna go to a
Broadway theater. We're gonna go to an op Broadway theater.
It's called Kabookie Theater. That's where we're going. Kyler Murray
had the job the moment he got off the short
bus at Viking camp there and wandered into the facility
he was given the job. Minnesota had already checked out
of JJ McCarthy's hotel. They didn't want to you know,
(22:37):
I know that they hadn't returned the room key. They
tried to trade McCarthy. Nobody wanted him. Unfortunately, they've seen
him play, so they were stuck with him and they
didn't want to completely release them. Although who knows. This
is no guarantee that McCarthy's on the team this year.
There's still time to make trades before the start of
the regular season. But Kyler is and I love They
(22:57):
said intelligence. This is all about the big dummy, the
dummy run. Okay, make no mistake that Kyler is the
perfect dummy run quarterback for the Vikings because Arizona, because
they're a bunch of idiots, they're paying a guy that's
incompetent most of the time, Kyler Murray. They're paying the
freight over thirty five million to not play for the
(23:21):
Cardinals over thirty five million to not play for the Cardinals. There,
So that is the situation involving Kyler Murray, any of
the fun sized quarterback and all that alligator arms. So
it's basically like this. The way I would describe it
in Simpleton terms, It's like getting a free trial subscription
(23:42):
to Kyler Plus. It's kitty sized, you can cancel anytime,
no credit card needed. You don't need a credit cards
not required to sign up for it. And a number
of the Viking fans. No, I think the people listen
to this show on Kyfan they're in Minnesota are a
little smarter. But the daytime listeners, the idiots during the day,
(24:03):
the knuckle dragging morons, They of course will fall in
lockstep because Kyler Murray Alligator Arms is fool's gold. We've
seen it before. How many calls did I take over
the years from people in Arizona, Oh, you don't know
what you're talking about, mallor you moron, that's why you're
on overnight all that crap, right, you know the whole rant.
(24:25):
I've heard all of the lines over the years. They
were all stale, they're all lazy, and in the end
I was vindicated. It was so ridiculous. When Kyler Murray
played for the Cardinals, they were writing stories about my
take in the paper they have like one paper in Phoenix,
and they were ripping me because they have nothing else
to talk about, of course, and they were assaulting my
good name, and I would like to I have to
(24:48):
go back and look, I don't remember what guess, probably unemployee,
which for a newspaper that's not a great profession. I
have to look who wrote that story and said, well,
maybe you can read a follow up that I was
correct with my t not that you know who cares.
We do the takes. We let the take go out
in the ethos, and whatever happens, that's it. But I
(25:08):
saw it happen in Arizona. It's gonna happen in Minnesota
as well. With Kyler Murray that it's fool's goal that
he'll excite you for a few plays. Maybe in a
couple of games. They'll scramble around. Wee, it'll be great,
make a few ridiculous throws. Everyone will be screaming, Oh,
he's found his new home, his forever home, and we
(25:31):
found our guy. All that crap. And then the weather
will change. Well, how go the weather's change in a dome,
It doesn't matter. The weather's going to change. The glitter,
the golden glitter will all of a sudden wash off,
and you will then discover what's underneath a fake, a phony,
and a fraud. That is what you're gonna get. And
(25:53):
that's the Kyler Murray experience. You're welcome. It's a public
service announcement. Just enough electricity. It's a little electricity. It
can't be much because he's Kyler. It's just a little
electricity to get you emotionally invested. You'll have a big
game against the Packers or something, oh man, and then
(26:13):
all of a sudden you start thinking, Okay, we got something,
and then the lights start flickering. It's like when the
Gremlins attack. I get the Gremlins attacking, so the Viking vans.
I do want you to enjoy your honeymoon, and I'm
not going to be too mean at the beginning. I'll
just sit back and Kyler has a couple of good games.
I'll just smile and I'll keep my mouth shut. Not
(26:35):
really because they get paid to talk, so but the
point is, I will just sit back and relax, and
you enjoy the hunting moon while it last. Because I
know inevitably he's going to get a call from a
block number. Kyler's going to answer the call. You should
not answer the call. From block number. It's probably a spammer,
and the call will appear on Kyler's phone. He will
not be able to have any self control. Alligator Arms
will answer the call and it will be a ring ring, Hi,
(26:58):
it's Joe blow over here from call of duty, Oh,
call of duty man. So history says, based on past results,
that he will answer that call, and he will go
on a joystick bender, an absolute joystick bender, and that'll
be turnout the lads, the parties over now. Meanwhile, keeping
(27:22):
the theme of the first part of this mal monologue,
going NFL insider Adam Schefter drawing backlash getting assaulted in
the micro world over his reporting or lack thereof, regarding
JJ McCarthy. So it's another tentacle of this. I don't
(27:44):
know even saw this or not, perhaps perhaps not. The
way he framed the McCarthy demotion is quite quite the tail.
So Schefter emphasized that McCarthy missed his entire rookie season
with injured. It's a real sip story. Were very emotional.
I mean I almost cried, and so I mentioned that
(28:06):
and then talked about how JJ McCarthy had winning record
in the games he started the vikings were six and
four in his ten starts. He had it on here
Schefter that the twenty three year old will now be
forced to be forced to be a backup. Wooo, so sad.
(28:27):
It's so sad. Now, Obviously the word forced really got
you going, what are we doing here? Because that's the controversy. Obviously,
Schefter portraying McCarthy in the church of victimhood, which is wild,
rather than just a quarterback that sucked at a time
(28:50):
you cannot suck, couldn't play, and lost the competition to
someone who you'd be embarrassed to lose a competition to.
All Right, So the question does Adam Schefter deserve to
be getting cooked in the cyber world for his light
and fluffy reporting on the demoted Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy.
(29:12):
So I'm nodding my head, yes, I'm nodding my head
yes on this. The smart money says that Adam Schefter
pulled a copy and paste job, or go somebody who's
on team McCarthy. A publicist said, hey, Adam, can you
do this so solid? Okay? Sure, what do you want? Okay?
Can you just copy this and send this out? I mean,
(29:34):
as I understand it, he has been accused of that
in the past, and a number of these guys have
done that. There was a point where there was some
level of integrity where these people wouldn't do it, and
that all went out the window years ago. So now
it's like whatever, just you're just a mouthpiece repeating the
crap that these agents and publicists are sending you. And
so Schefter was providing a ring of protection, if you will,
(29:58):
for a number of reasons, a number of reasons. Now
what could those reasons be? He was part of the
the pontiff's protection if you were the security detail, because
both he and McCarthy are Michigan men, right, They're Michigan guys,
and so they went to the University of Michigan. And
it's also taking care of the agent. You know, it's like,
(30:19):
I'll do this for you and then you help me
out with something that actually people care about down the line.
So calling JJ McCarthy calling him out, well, he was
forced to be a backup is supersized industrial strength spin
spin spin, spin, spant, forced forced against his will, McCarthy,
(30:42):
You realize how bad this guy must be at playing
quarterback in the NFL. He was handed the keys to
what everyone agreed was a high powered offense. They were
able to have success with Sam Darnold and that guy
blows and so. And he proved that in Seattle because
they know the only reason they did anything. They're a
two point conversion handed to them by the NFL. Otherwise
(31:03):
that would not have been the way it went last
year with him. Hey, McCarthy was handed in Minnesota this
amazing offense, what a great mitzvah all access passed to
wide receiver Justin Jefferson and his sidekick Jordan Addison, and
he turned this supersonic booster rocket that should have gone
(31:23):
out in the Cosmos out in outer space, and he
turned it into cremation dust that you could put in
a purple urn with the Viking logo on it. Because
he buried their season last year. McCarthy for chefs obviously guilty,
but lie by omission because he left out the fact
that J. J. McCarthy was the thirty fifth NINT quarterback
(31:45):
in the NFL. Now, I don't know if you know this,
there's only thirty two teams in the NFL. You actually
need a mining permit to go down and a light
to find McCarthy. You actually have to go. His name
is that far down in the quarter rating department. Now, ultimately,
the most embarrassing thing is that McCarthy this August here
(32:06):
lost his gig to Alligator Arms Murray, Kyler Murray, one
of Snow White seven Dwarfs with a documented video game obsession.
You got, you lost to that guy. That guy was
who failed in Arizona, was an abject fail with the Cardinals,
and that guy beat you out. Think about that. I
(32:30):
think about Minnesota basically brought in gamer Smurf and said, yeah,
that's an upgrade. We rather have that guy. We'd rather
have that guy. That's it. And obviously nobody forced J. J.
McCarthy to the bench. He had the presidential suite, presidentials,
(32:50):
everything you possibly want, red shirt year. All you idiots
tell me, well, you gotta rust your quarterback. Don't play
him the first year so they can learn the offense.
You morons call him to defend your boy, defend your guy. Yeah,
you cowards, I gotta call up and defend it because
McCarthy is proof of the fact that it doesn't work. Now, listen,
(33:10):
everything's subjective. I understand that. But you told me all
the people a hall of fame level receiver Justin Jefferson,
supposedly a great coach. You guys all love the coach
of the Vikings, offensive, genius, winning environment, and that's what
you got. That's what you got. I hope you enjoyed that.
So we had the presidential suite trash, the furniture clogged,
(33:32):
the toilet, trash the place, and then he was evicted.
I kind of evicted himself. I guess all right now. Meanwhile,
last word to the courthouse. We have a legal brew
haha developing. It's on tap right now between a couple
of former NFL people. That would be DeAndre Hopkins, former
NFL receiver. I guess he's out now of the NFL.
(33:53):
He's took a college one of these no show college
jobs where you just use your name as a brand
ambassador or whatever. With DeAndre Hopkins. He accused on social
media his former GM with the Cardinals and the guy
that worked here a few times, Steve Khime, of involvement
(34:13):
in rigging or contaminating the NFL drug test that he failed.
So the claim and it was deleted quickly after or
not that you can't really delete anything on the internet.
But Hopkins claimed that there was some funny business going
on with Kime. So Chime issued a rebuttal through a
(34:34):
lawyer and yeah, so very strong denial with all kinds
of threats of litigation. So this is a four This
happened four years ago. This is a four year old
ped suspension that has new life, like the phoenix rising
from the ashes and Chime threatening the civil lawsuit. And
(34:55):
while that is going on, he's facing separate screwed. There's
a connection we talked, Remember we talked about this murder
mystery in the NFL, This kingpin of this ponzi scheme
who somehow in his twenties dry it was dead, found
dead in Jersey. And there's a lot of people tied
to that guy from the NFL. Apparently Kime's name came up.
(35:17):
I don't know, I was reading about that, and so
he's got a lot of stuff going on here, and
nobody's been arrested, nobody's been charged in that particular case. Now,
the question where are you at on the legal food fight?
That's what we're we call it legal food fight between
former NFL star DeAndre Hopkins and GM Steve Kime, the
former GM so DeAndre Hopkins after a minutes long mallor
(35:40):
review of the available information. So Steve Kime and DeAndre Hopkins. Obviously,
the first punch was thrown by Hopkins. He tossed an incinder,
airy and cndiary device in this case an accusation onto
social media. I tossed it out there and then tried
to tried to delete it. He did delete it, but
(36:03):
the fire, even though it was largely contained, contained the fire.
They had a line around the fire. The controlled burn
was in the middle of nowhere. They had it contained well.
Steve Khim grabbed the public address system, He summoned apparently
an army of lawyers and commandeered the super scooper. So
(36:26):
he grabbed the super Scooper to drop thousands of gallons
of kerosene on that smoldering hot spot out in the
middle of nowhere in the boondocks, and by threatening a
lawsuit he gare wrong. Tea Hopkins claims will get repeated.
I didn't even know about this, and here I am
talking about it, so Hopkins, I didn't see the thing
(36:50):
that got deleted, and so this gets repeated, dissected, amplified everywhere,
and it opens the door to if there is a law,
legal discovery, and a full blown Benny Hill type circus.
So it is a masterclass on turning a whisper into
(37:11):
a Thunderclap is what it is here and crank up
the pressure all you want. Crank it up, crank it
up now, but you better have zero skeletons in your
closet before inviting everyone into the courthouse kitchen.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I continue to be fascinated by the story that's not
a story if you're in the mainstream football establishment media
continues to give every possible red flag you could possibly
want of a cover up, and it just it was like,
we'll move on, there's nothing to see here. It's like,
what so, our lead is from San Francisco, a electrical
(00:53):
substation near you. Wink wink, nod nod dateline Santa Clair,
where forty nine Ers coach Kyle Shanahan. Yep, Kyle Shanahan
spoke publicly over the weekend about the car accident. You know,
the car accident where nothing came out for eleven days
and then there was a police cover up of the
(01:14):
car accident. Because that happens all the time. Yeah. Shanahan
reiterated that he caused the accident. He says he did it, saying,
anyone responsible for an avoidable crash that you know it
could hurt someone else would feel pretty stupid. So he
feels he feels stupid. Okay, Now the big new detail,
(01:35):
the juicy lucy detail. Shanahan saying that his Tesla was
on autopilot when he turned around to retrieve his phone.
Wink wink, nod not I added that phone had fallen
from his lap into the back seat. So I've had
my phone, I've dropped it and then it falls between
(01:58):
the seats. I've never had to go to the I've
never had that happen. Have you ever had that happen?
I feel like that's hard to have the phone go
to the back seat. Anyway, that's what he said. He
said the phone went to the backseat of the car.
Shannan said he had it was using the autopilot for
he's used it for nine years. Nine years on autopilot,
must be nice, and he said, became very comfortable with
(02:20):
it and just turned around and the next thing, you know,
come boom right there. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
How does forty nine ers coach Kyle Shanahan adding the
latest Tesla auto pilot nugget to the crash story, How
(02:42):
does that change things? So I've got Anti Ann's Roast
Master General and Britney Spears, and we'll combine all of
these things together and we're gonna play Connect three. Now.
In order to play Connect three, in order to play
Connect three, you have to go number wa on one
(03:05):
one one one one if you're keeping score at home.
And if you're keeping score at home, boy, what a loser.
Uh So, the first there was the accident check, Then
there was the eleven day cone of silence. The story
was in bargoed check check, no body cam footage ever
(03:29):
to be released. The police cover up check check check
and now plot twist. Blame it on the pilot, Blame
it on the autopilot. It was involved. This story, the
Kyle Shanahan car accident story, has had more twists than
an Anti Anne's pretzel factory. Just a twist there, and
(03:52):
a twist over here, and twist for you and for
you in the back. Everyone has this wist. Now, adding
autopilot just makes the whole thing even more suspicious, even
more suspicious now, So the forty nine ers, along with
Shanahan and the security advisors of the forty nine ers
and the pr Bozos, these guys got together and they
(04:14):
created this fire breathing Dragon. Now, fortunately, a lot of
the media are they're friendly, useful idiots, and they don't
really care about the story because they just want to
hang out and have lunch with the executives and the
forty nine ers. They don't want to rock the boat.
And so the fire breathing Monster was created by the
franchise there in San Francisco, and that they handled this
(04:37):
story like they were trying to smuggle plutonium, okay, And
had they simply acknowledged if this was an honest accident,
if they'd simply acknowledged it right away instead of treating
it like it was Area fifty one and the lizard
people were going to see you and you were going
to see them, and that's the problem, there would be
far less scrutiny, far less scrutiny. There is a lot
(05:00):
of people just lazy and they don't really care because
you know, anything interesting, Oh, I don't know. We shouldn't
pry a round about that and all that crap. But
eleven days is an absolute fricking eternity in damage control time.
So again, as we said in previous episodes, and so
the math isn't mathing. And now you add this latest
(05:21):
wrinkle to the story, and we've officially entered the twilight zone.
Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do do doo. Yes, reality bends in a
press release. It does. Now. The good news is, I
have been told by my friends that have teslas, the
bougie people with their little teslas, that these things are
(05:42):
computers on wheels. They love to brag and tell me
how amazing these teslas are. They always tell me that,
uh and they they say they have the receipts there,
they have all the data. And you're always being tracked
when you're a little tesla. So everything's being tracked, and
that will tell the real tale. If that is accurate,
if everything I've heard, you know, I've heard it over
the years. If this is accurate, everything's tracked, that tesla
(06:05):
would know whether there was an actual malfunction or not
in Kyle Shanahan's Autopilot. Until then, every new creation out
of thin air. I say, creation of an explanation out
of thin air creates three more questions, at least three
more questions. So again, if there was nothing to hide,
(06:27):
why are you hiding stuff? Explain that. I'll wait, I'll
take your answer off there right now. Page duode to Canton,
Ohio Hall of Fame weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Why they really milk it, don't. They used to be
real quick, get that thing over with. Now they milk it.
They get the Hall of Fame game, they got a
dinner event on Friday, they got the ceremony on Saturday.
It's a whole big to do this Hall of Fame,
whole big to do. So the Hall of Fame class
included Roger Craig. We found out Roger Craig has some
health problems, some bad stuff going on with Roger Craig.
(06:58):
So good thoughts his direction, So that's terrible. And Drew
Brees got up there and boring as always, and then
Adam VINITERI though, Adam Vinitary, this guy, what a lightning rod?
Did you see this? No? All right? So Adam Vinita
used the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech to
goof on Bill Belichick and his little girl friend thing. Yeah,
(07:22):
all right, now, he used to punchline about Belichick's relationship
with his twenty five year old fluozy Jeordn Hudson, who
is I believe, forty nine years younger than Bill Belichick,
and that inspired Adam Vinitiera. Let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I would repeat those last few statements about coach Bill
Belichick as well. Thank you for demanding excellence every single day.
Your preparation, discipline, and attention to detail shaped far more
than my football career. Unfortunately, Bill couldn't make it here today.
There's a lot going on at UNC right now. Oh,
(08:03):
he may be on a recruiting trip right now, looking
for the next Lawrence Taylor. I thought it was because
training camp had already started, but in truth, it's because
he's judging its girlfriend's cheerleading competition.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
My god, I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
There you go, there's Adam Vinitary. So this created a hullabaloo.
And I always love a good haullabaloo. I don't know
about you, but I enjoy a nice haull of baloo.
So the question is, did Adam Vinitary cross the line
planting a joke about Bill Belichick's what was he forty
(08:37):
nine year younger girlfriend there at the Hall of Fame
speech in the hallowed halls of Canton, Ohio. So I'm
gonna ask you this, listen, crossing the line a bit
too dramatic for me. It's a stupid Hall of Fame speech.
It's a bit too dramatic to say that. But to
use a line from Bill Belichick's days with the Patriots,
(08:59):
this was an end meaning, a mental error by Adam Venitari.
It was an emmy. It was a mental error, completely unforced.
Canton is a football mausoleum, a cathedral of the pig skin,
and that is where you are able to go if
you're lucky enough and get up on the stage there
(09:19):
in Canton, and you get to deliver your own eulogy.
You know, when you're gonna die, We're all gonna die,
and someone else is going to speak on our behalf
at a funeral in the Hall of Fame. You're dead
as a player, and yet you get to serve as
your own speaker at your funeral. You get to give
(09:41):
the eulogy of your life in football. And so this
is a very special thing to a lot of people.
Because you're still breathing, You're not dead. It's a big deal.
So future generations, you would think down the line, you know,
a couple of generations down the line. What was that
game football they used to play in America? Yeah, it
was called the NFL and it just went away, really
went away. And did we have a relative? Yeah, yeah,
(10:02):
your third uncle twice removed from the gardener's daughter's cousin played. Yeah,
he's in the Hall of Fame. Oh really? Can I
watch the speech? Yes, well, just download it to your brain.
You can watch Adam Vnentery's speech. Who is that woman
that he was talking about? I don't know what was it? Yeah,
(10:26):
so his family down the line, future generations, we'll be
able to watch the tape of Adam VNITII, who turned
this into a bit of an open mic night at
the Comedy Store. But wait, there's more. It wasn't just
Belichick who got the razzle dazzle from Adam Vinitari, the jokester.
He also goofed on podcaster Pat McAfee, who was a
(10:48):
punter for the Colts when Vinitari was on the Colts.
He said, the only person who enjoyed holding my balls
more than my wife was. Pat McAfee. That's good balls joke, right,
come on, solid, it's trying to get a job at barstool.
It sounds like to me. But anyway, all right, so hey, listen,
this just in to Fox Sports Radio, Adam Vinetaria. It's
going to shock you at him. You are not the
(11:10):
Roastmaster General Jeff Ross. You're not doing a Netflix comedy special.
You're not time and Place. You save those jokes at
least for the Ramada in Lounge and Akron. You can
do those on Friday night. We'll book it for the
Ramada in Lounge and Akron. Now, besides, keep in mind
the Sigmund Freud theory on this. We quote this a lot,
(11:33):
that there is truth in every joke, that there is
a bit of truth in every joke. Besides, listen, Vinitary,
I believe he was annoyed that Belichick wasn't there. I
think he was annoyed, and Belichick was annoyed because he
didn't get in the Hall of Fame and he's dealing
with the Hall of Fame snub Belichick and people goofing
on him, shooping. A much younger lady, and then you've
(11:55):
got the unc pressure cooker that's not going very well.
Vintary just said, you know what, let's get some Morton's
Kosher salt and we'll pour that all over the open wound.
Who says, no, why not right over Belichick's clam chatta.
We'll put that Morton's kosher salt. Okay. So it wasn't offensive,
(12:15):
it was just like the whole thing was just like playful, awkward.
Unnecessary would be the word I would use. Unnecessary. And
a guy who was the definition persona of clutch, Adam Vinitari.
If you needed a big kick, Adam Vinitari was your
guy for most of his career. And then he walks
into this cathedral of football and he's dressed like Krusty
(12:38):
the Clown, wearing crusty shoes, and the whole thing all
right now, final point to DC we go and we
had Stefan Diggs agree to a contract while we were away. Diggs,
joining the Washington football team formerly known as the Redskins
over the weekend, agreed to a one year deal worth
up to up to twelve million, and he returns to
(13:01):
the team that's from his home area. When he was
little Stefan Diggs growing up. So there you go. And
immediately over the weekend he became part of a viral
moment at training camp and that if you didn't see this,
this is pretty funny. So Commander's guard Sam Cosmy. I
believe that sasas name. Nobody knows offensive lineman names unless
(13:22):
they're really bad or really good. He's not really bad
or really good. He's just there, so we'll call him
Sam Cosmy. So this guy welcomes Stefan Diggs. He was
doing an interview about Diggs and all that stuff because
I guess they couldn't get anyone else to interview. So
the interview the offensive lineman and was goofing about the
long standing reputation of Diggs with the ladies, and man
(13:44):
legendary asked about his new teammate, the Washington offensive lineman cracked.
I wouldn't let him date my sister, is what he said.
Now that comment was a callback my brothers and sisters
in Minnesota. They know the great line from a couple
of years back there when many teams ago, when Stefan
Diggs was playing for the Minnesota Vikings, and they went
(14:05):
around the locker room and they asked the players, you know,
who would you want to date your your sister? Who
do you not want to date your sister? And overwhelmingly
the player that they did not want to pick to
date their sister it was Stefon Digs and didn't want that,
all right. So the question, here's the question, how did
you score wide receiver Stefon Diggs taking shrapnel from his
(14:29):
new commander's co worker, this offensive lineman over his mad
riz with the ladies. So I've got I got this.
I wrote down an E on my scorecard as in
earned well earned for Stefan dis Now, I don't know
Stefon Diggs from a lamppost. I just heard the same
thing year after year after year. So there must be
(14:50):
something there, and I just got to be something, A
little colonel, a little colonel of truth. There has to
be something there. So Sam Cosmy didn't serve up something
out the left field. This has been simmering on the
back of the stove for a while, and it's a
classic joke. It's really not even a joke. It's more
of a PSA doing overnight radio. I know a thing
(15:10):
or two about PSA's public service announcement delivered with the
rage of a man who's seen Stefan Diggs body count.
And you know, they have Pro Football Reference, they have
Baseball Reference, they have Basketball Reference for Stefan Diggs. They
have Booty Reference on there for for him. You can
(15:30):
go check that out. And maybe not because that might
be a dirty sight. I don't know. I just made
that up, so that's probably not probably not legit. Now
Diggs walks in to the Commander's facility, Steffon Diggs there,
and it's it's like in my head, the cartoon bubble
in my head, like the guys start clutching their family photos,
like the the you know, the I R s. He's
the irs, you know, like, oh crap, here comes the
(15:52):
irs to the classic Brittany Spears song back in the
day Womanizer, and Diggs's reputation precedes him as he is dangerous.
Apparently for the ladies, he's seductive. He's mister Beefcake and
women find him irresistible before he choos them up and
spits them out, which I think is the opposite of
(16:14):
man eater now, which is that's the opposite of how
that works there. So anyway, this should be a spin
off for HBO. They should have a spin off on this.
It's Hard Knocks the Passive Aggressive addition starring Stefon Diggs.
The guy. Stefon Diggs, the guy should not be You
should not be talking to him. That's it, and he's
(16:38):
at this point, Diggs. Stefan Diggs is the only NFL
player we believe who gets double teamed on Family Night.
You know when they invite the wives and girlfriends and
the kids and his two people guard Digs at all time,
two people as AC DC Kroon back in the day,
dirty deeds done dirt cheap there. So Stefon Diggs, he
(17:01):
is got it going. He's got it going.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
The quarterback competition has ended in a purple hayes a
purple haze there. If you have not heard, perhaps not,
maybe we're not paying attention. Bad job by you. The
Minnesota Vikings have officially named Alligander Arms Murray. Yes, Kyler Murray,
the little fella catch the big boy seat, He got
(18:36):
the booster seat. Kyler Murray got the booster seat in
Minnesota a man, so he will be the starting quarterback
and J. J. McCarthy officially demoted demoted as the number
two option there so Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings coach, confirming
(18:59):
that Tyler Murray winning the competition despite having some very
shaky practices apparently by those that actually get paid to
watch that crap. Here's Kevin O'Connell, I believe. Here's the
Vikings head coach commenting on the decision. Take as I.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Know, there's a lot of kind of reports and things
out there regarding our quarterback situation, and just wanted to
start out and say, you know, we did, you know,
after some some dialogue in house and just kind of
daily you know, analyzing the overall of where we're at
right now, we did name Kyler Murray our starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
From the outset of of the off season.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
You know, I think we've been really intentional open about,
you know, kind of the goal of creating just a
competitive environment filled with wildly capable players that could then
obviously elevate our quarterback room through that process and in
doing so, you know, elevate our team.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Okay, well, if you enjoy and it's selling a very
confident man. And I gotta tell you I wouldn't be
confident either if I was having to name Kyler Murray
as my quarterback. Holy crap. We're screwed. We are absolutely screwed.
If you're the Vikings. My god, poor Kevin O'Connell, he'll
be working at the NFL Network doing a podcast at
(20:20):
barstool before you know it. Holy crap. Anyway, O'Connell's you
heard there confirming the news that the little guy won
the job. O'Connell said, Murray, as you heard it had
shown enough. And later on he talked about his accuracy,
which I keep seeing stories about him throwing interceptions, But
his accuracy is athleticism, really intelligence. They're just making crap
(20:46):
up now. Command of the offense, they will lie to
your face, all right, So all of that is a
good jumping off point. Let us discuss I have no
skin in the game. The question what does the announcement
by Kevin O'Connell that Kyler Murray will be the Vikings
(21:06):
QB number one? What does that tell us? What does
that tell us? So my thoughts on this, I've got
free trial subscription, supersonic turbo booster, rocket and super Scooper
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have a juicy Lucy. Now, when
I was lucky enough to visit the holy land of
(21:28):
the Juicy Lucy. A few years ago in Minnesota. I
stopped at all the local establishments there, all of them,
all of them, to enjoy the fun of those, and
they were all great. There was one I forget well,
in Saint Paul. I thought I liked them. I think
I went there twice. Not that that matters, all right.
So to answer the question, what does this announcement, what
(21:50):
does this announcement of Kyler Murray's the Vikings QB number one?
What does that tell us?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
This was a rigged carnival game. This was a rigged
carnival game from the very beginning. You know it, and
I know it. Every man, woman and child that paid
any attention knows it. There was no legitimate quarterback competition
in Minnesota. This was a trip to the theater. We're
gonna go out and see a show. Well, what theater
(22:16):
are we gonna go to. We're gonna go to a
Broadway theater. We're gonna go to an op Broadway theater.
It's called Kabookie Theater. That's where we're going. Kyler Murray
had the job the moment he got off the short
bus at Viking camp there and wandered into the facility
he was given the job. Minnesota had already checked out
of JJ McCarthy's hotel. They didn't want to you know,
(22:37):
I know that they hadn't returned the room key. They
tried to trade McCarthy. Nobody wanted him. Unfortunately, they've seen
him play, so they were stuck with him and they
didn't want to completely release them. Although who knows. This
is no guarantee that McCarthy's on the team this year.
There's still time to make trades before the start of
the regular season. But Kyler is and I love They
(22:57):
said intelligence. This is all about the big dummy, the
dummy run. Okay, make no mistake that Kyler is the
perfect dummy run quarterback for the Vikings because Arizona, because
they're a bunch of idiots, they're paying a guy that's
incompetent most of the time, Kyler Murray. They're paying the
freight over thirty five million to not play for the
(23:21):
Cardinals over thirty five million to not play for the Cardinals. There,
So that is the situation involving Kyler Murray, any of
the fun sized quarterback and all that alligator arms. So
it's basically like this. The way I would describe it
in Simpleton terms, It's like getting a free trial subscription
(23:42):
to Kyler Plus. It's kitty sized, you can cancel anytime,
no credit card needed. You don't need a credit cards
not required to sign up for it. And a number
of the Viking fans. No, I think the people listen
to this show on Kyfan they're in Minnesota are a
little smarter. But the daytime listeners, the idiots during the day,
(24:03):
the knuckle dragging morons, They of course will fall in
lockstep because Kyler Murray Alligator Arms is fool's gold. We've
seen it before. How many calls did I take over
the years from people in Arizona, Oh, you don't know
what you're talking about, mallor you moron, that's why you're
on overnight all that crap, right, you know the whole rant.
(24:25):
I've heard all of the lines over the years. They
were all stale, they're all lazy, and in the end
I was vindicated. It was so ridiculous. When Kyler Murray
played for the Cardinals, they were writing stories about my
take in the paper they have like one paper in Phoenix,
and they were ripping me because they have nothing else
to talk about, of course, and they were assaulting my
good name, and I would like to I have to
(24:48):
go back and look, I don't remember what guess, probably unemployee,
which for a newspaper that's not a great profession. I
have to look who wrote that story and said, well,
maybe you can read a follow up that I was
correct with my t not that you know who cares.
We do the takes. We let the take go out
in the ethos, and whatever happens, that's it. But I
(25:08):
saw it happen in Arizona. It's gonna happen in Minnesota
as well. With Kyler Murray that it's fool's goal that
he'll excite you for a few plays. Maybe in a
couple of games. They'll scramble around. Wee, it'll be great,
make a few ridiculous throws. Everyone will be screaming, Oh,
he's found his new home, his forever home, and we
(25:31):
found our guy. All that crap. And then the weather
will change. Well, how go the weather's change in a dome,
It doesn't matter. The weather's going to change. The glitter,
the golden glitter will all of a sudden wash off,
and you will then discover what's underneath a fake, a phony,
and a fraud. That is what you're gonna get. And
(25:53):
that's the Kyler Murray experience. You're welcome. It's a public
service announcement. Just enough electricity. It's a little electricity. It
can't be much because he's Kyler. It's just a little
electricity to get you emotionally invested. You'll have a big
game against the Packers or something, oh man, and then
(26:13):
all of a sudden you start thinking, Okay, we got something,
and then the lights start flickering. It's like when the
Gremlins attack. I get the Gremlins attacking, so the Viking vans.
I do want you to enjoy your honeymoon, and I'm
not going to be too mean at the beginning. I'll
just sit back and Kyler has a couple of good games.
I'll just smile and I'll keep my mouth shut. Not
(26:35):
really because they get paid to talk, so but the
point is, I will just sit back and relax, and
you enjoy the hunting moon while it last. Because I
know inevitably he's going to get a call from a
block number. Kyler's going to answer the call. You should
not answer the call. From block number. It's probably a spammer,
and the call will appear on Kyler's phone. He will
not be able to have any self control. Alligator Arms
will answer the call and it will be a ring ring, Hi,
(26:58):
it's Joe blow over here from call of duty, Oh,
call of duty man. So history says, based on past results,
that he will answer that call, and he will go
on a joystick bender, an absolute joystick bender, and that'll
be turnout the lads, the parties over now. Meanwhile, keeping
(27:22):
the theme of the first part of this mal monologue,
going NFL insider Adam Schefter drawing backlash getting assaulted in
the micro world over his reporting or lack thereof, regarding
JJ McCarthy. So it's another tentacle of this. I don't
(27:44):
know even saw this or not, perhaps perhaps not. The
way he framed the McCarthy demotion is quite quite the tail.
So Schefter emphasized that McCarthy missed his entire rookie season
with injured. It's a real sip story. Were very emotional.
I mean I almost cried, and so I mentioned that
(28:06):
and then talked about how JJ McCarthy had winning record
in the games he started the vikings were six and
four in his ten starts. He had it on here
Schefter that the twenty three year old will now be
forced to be forced to be a backup. Wooo, so sad.
(28:27):
It's so sad. Now, Obviously the word forced really got
you going, what are we doing here? Because that's the controversy. Obviously,
Schefter portraying McCarthy in the church of victimhood, which is wild,
rather than just a quarterback that sucked at a time
(28:50):
you cannot suck, couldn't play, and lost the competition to
someone who you'd be embarrassed to lose a competition to.
All Right, So the question does Adam Schefter deserve to
be getting cooked in the cyber world for his light
and fluffy reporting on the demoted Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy.
(29:12):
So I'm nodding my head, yes, I'm nodding my head
yes on this. The smart money says that Adam Schefter
pulled a copy and paste job, or go somebody who's
on team McCarthy. A publicist said, hey, Adam, can you
do this so solid? Okay? Sure, what do you want? Okay?
Can you just copy this and send this out? I mean,
(29:34):
as I understand it, he has been accused of that
in the past, and a number of these guys have
done that. There was a point where there was some
level of integrity where these people wouldn't do it, and
that all went out the window years ago. So now
it's like whatever, just you're just a mouthpiece repeating the
crap that these agents and publicists are sending you. And
so Schefter was providing a ring of protection, if you will,
(29:58):
for a number of reasons, a number of reasons. Now
what could those reasons be? He was part of the
the pontiff's protection if you were the security detail, because
both he and McCarthy are Michigan men, right, They're Michigan guys,
and so they went to the University of Michigan. And
it's also taking care of the agent. You know, it's like,
(30:19):
I'll do this for you and then you help me
out with something that actually people care about down the line.
So calling JJ McCarthy calling him out, well, he was
forced to be a backup is supersized industrial strength spin
spin spin, spin, spant, forced forced against his will, McCarthy,
(30:42):
You realize how bad this guy must be at playing
quarterback in the NFL. He was handed the keys to
what everyone agreed was a high powered offense. They were
able to have success with Sam Darnold and that guy
blows and so. And he proved that in Seattle because
they know the only reason they did anything. They're a
two point conversion handed to them by the NFL. Otherwise
(31:03):
that would not have been the way it went last
year with him. Hey, McCarthy was handed in Minnesota this
amazing offense, what a great mitzvah all access passed to
wide receiver Justin Jefferson and his sidekick Jordan Addison, and
he turned this supersonic booster rocket that should have gone
(31:23):
out in the Cosmos out in outer space, and he
turned it into cremation dust that you could put in
a purple urn with the Viking logo on it. Because
he buried their season last year. McCarthy for chefs obviously guilty,
but lie by omission because he left out the fact
that J. J. McCarthy was the thirty fifth NINT quarterback
(31:45):
in the NFL. Now, I don't know if you know this,
there's only thirty two teams in the NFL. You actually
need a mining permit to go down and a light
to find McCarthy. You actually have to go. His name
is that far down in the quarter rating department. Now, ultimately,
the most embarrassing thing is that McCarthy this August here
(32:06):
lost his gig to Alligator Arms Murray, Kyler Murray, one
of Snow White seven Dwarfs with a documented video game obsession.
You got, you lost to that guy. That guy was
who failed in Arizona, was an abject fail with the Cardinals,
and that guy beat you out. Think about that. I
(32:30):
think about Minnesota basically brought in gamer Smurf and said, yeah,
that's an upgrade. We rather have that guy. We'd rather
have that guy. That's it. And obviously nobody forced J. J.
McCarthy to the bench. He had the presidential suite, presidentials,
(32:50):
everything you possibly want, red shirt year. All you idiots
tell me, well, you gotta rust your quarterback. Don't play
him the first year so they can learn the offense.
You morons call him to defend your boy, defend your guy. Yeah,
you cowards, I gotta call up and defend it because
McCarthy is proof of the fact that it doesn't work. Now, listen,
(33:10):
everything's subjective. I understand that. But you told me all
the people a hall of fame level receiver Justin Jefferson,
supposedly a great coach. You guys all love the coach
of the Vikings, offensive, genius, winning environment, and that's what
you got. That's what you got. I hope you enjoyed that.
So we had the presidential suite trash, the furniture clogged,
(33:32):
the toilet, trash the place, and then he was evicted.
I kind of evicted himself. I guess all right now. Meanwhile,
last word to the courthouse. We have a legal brew
haha developing. It's on tap right now between a couple
of former NFL people. That would be DeAndre Hopkins, former
NFL receiver. I guess he's out now of the NFL.
(33:53):
He's took a college one of these no show college
jobs where you just use your name as a brand
ambassador or whatever. With DeAndre Hopkins. He accused on social
media his former GM with the Cardinals and the guy
that worked here a few times, Steve Khime, of involvement
(34:13):
in rigging or contaminating the NFL drug test that he failed.
So the claim and it was deleted quickly after or
not that you can't really delete anything on the internet.
But Hopkins claimed that there was some funny business going
on with Kime. So Chime issued a rebuttal through a
(34:34):
lawyer and yeah, so very strong denial with all kinds
of threats of litigation. So this is a four This
happened four years ago. This is a four year old
ped suspension that has new life, like the phoenix rising
from the ashes and Chime threatening the civil lawsuit. And
(34:55):
while that is going on, he's facing separate screwed. There's
a connection we talked, Remember we talked about this murder
mystery in the NFL, This kingpin of this ponzi scheme
who somehow in his twenties dry it was dead, found
dead in Jersey. And there's a lot of people tied
to that guy from the NFL. Apparently Kime's name came up.
(35:17):
I don't know, I was reading about that, and so
he's got a lot of stuff going on here, and
nobody's been arrested, nobody's been charged in that particular case. Now,
the question where are you at on the legal food fight?
That's what we're we call it legal food fight between
former NFL star DeAndre Hopkins and GM Steve Kime, the
former GM so DeAndre Hopkins after a minutes long mallor
(35:40):
review of the available information. So Steve Kime and DeAndre Hopkins. Obviously,
the first punch was thrown by Hopkins. He tossed an incinder,
airy and cndiary device in this case an accusation onto
social media. I tossed it out there and then tried
to tried to delete it. He did delete it, but
(36:03):
the fire, even though it was largely contained, contained the fire.
They had a line around the fire. The controlled burn
was in the middle of nowhere. They had it contained well.
Steve Khim grabbed the public address system, He summoned apparently
an army of lawyers and commandeered the super scooper. So
(36:26):
he grabbed the super Scooper to drop thousands of gallons
of kerosene on that smoldering hot spot out in the
middle of nowhere in the boondocks, and by threatening a
lawsuit he gare wrong. Tea Hopkins claims will get repeated.
I didn't even know about this, and here I am
talking about it, so Hopkins, I didn't see the thing
(36:50):
that got deleted, and so this gets repeated, dissected, amplified everywhere,
and it opens the door to if there is a law,
legal discovery, and a full blown Benny Hill type circus.
So it is a masterclass on turning a whisper into
(37:11):
a Thunderclap is what it is here and crank up
the pressure all you want. Crank it up, crank it
up now, but you better have zero skeletons in your
closet before inviting everyone into the courthouse kitchen.
