This is the best of the Ben Maller Show on
Fox Sports Radio. Punching your ticket. Welcome in the beginning
of a brand spanking new week of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere cohorts as we slurp

(00:48):

are here. Where did we go? Nowhere? We hit a
day and a half away and we're back behind the

(01:31):
microphones of FSR our lead this hour coming from college hoops. Whoooo.
The madness of March is winding down, down, down, down, down,
down down down. The twenty twenty three Final four is
now set. Oh, it's set. Ah, so amazing. We now

(01:52):
have our last teams standing. And I don't know how
much of this you watched over the weekend and were
you locked in where you loaded to know you were not?
Might have missed it. We'll see what the report card
for the NCAA tournament is. But the final two slots
on Sunday go to San Diego State, show me your

(02:12):
Aztec as the Aztecs get it done and Miami coming back.
On Saturday. Aztecs they win with controversy as the officials
giving San Diego State a tikie tack to be kind
foul call on the final seconds there where there was
no contact where the ball was it was lower and

(02:35):
they called the foul. Just what I need. And the
Hurricanes meanwhile storming back. You saw that game around thirteen
points and the yin and the yang, Jordan Miller and
Isaiah Wong leading the way as the Canes come back
and they are joined by Saturday's winner. The two winners
on Saturday, Yukon and Florida Atlantic cashing their keynote cards.

(02:59):
So that means now that we have three newbies, three
newbies who have crashed the partey into the final four,
Florida Atlantic, STSU and Miami along with U Console. Let
us discuss the question what letter grade do you give
the final four? The final four team standing in men's

(03:24):
college basketball? So the malor report card. I'll be fair here,
gotta do it, you gotta do it. Male report card.
This final four, in my entire life, gets an F.
This is an F final four. This is a failure
of the final four. Too much of anything is a
bad thing, and that's where we have. We have too

(03:45):
much irrelevance in the final four. That's the reality. I've
got P. T. Barnum, Petcock and two Step and we
will combine all of these random things together and we
are going to cut down the neck, is what we're
going to do. We're gonna cut down the nest. Now, hey,
all of you dopes, and you know who you are,

(04:06):
you bleeding heart bozos. I love the underdog. You know
who you are. Well, this is your fantasy land is
what it is? File this one under things sports fans
think they want but really don't. The final four. From

(04:28):
a marketing standpoint, this is college basketball armageddon. Holy crap
on a cracker, Batman, What have we done now? I
realized that long ago everyone's bracket was busted. That's not
the point. The legacy teams are nowhere to be found.

(04:49):
You have schools that are not even regional powers. From
the Midwest. The number five seed Miami, which if you're old,
was a football scho but they haven't been good at football.
It's a dormant football school. Certainly are not basketball school
with the Grizzled a long time College of Basketball coach
Jim Larenega being celebrated, and I have nothing against Jim lar.

(05:12):
In the South, Sundayago State, the number five seed in
the South where the turf meets the surf. That's not
a football school or a basketball school. It's just a school.
It's a party school. It's what it is. It's a
party place. And then you have out of the East
the number nine Sea Florida Atlantic, a school that started

(05:33):
their basketball program as a D two in nineteen eighty eight.
Have been in Division one what is known as Division
one since nineteen ninety four, and then in the West,
the closest thing to a legacy program, Connecticut Yukon rounds
out the final four. But I think it's an F

(05:54):
on the report card. It's not my concern and we
can just ignore it. We can ignore it. We do broadcasting,
not narrowcasting, and this is a final four that is
going to require P. T. Barnum level salesmanship here. Florida
Atlantic is the big Cinderella in the bunch of the

(06:15):
number nine seed from Boca, making just the second tournament appearance,
thirty five wins, first Conference USA team to make the
national semifinals. I mentioned we do broadcasting, not narrowcasting, and
this is the problem here Florida Atlantic. You know how
many fans they average for their seventeen home games in Boca.

(06:37):
Do you want to take a guess? Yeah? How about
less than twenty five hundred fans per game? Two thousand,
two hundred thirty eight fans per game? Y. Then you
have Connecticut focus on them. You caught a program that
was a perennial contender in the Jim Calhoun era and

(06:59):
they have won four titles. Ninety nine was the first
in the twenty fourteen. The last that was with Kevin
Ollie when he was the coach of the Huskies and
now Dan Hurley coaching. I believe it's in his fifth
year now, and he has broken through Connecticut, becoming the
seventh team to win all four regional games in routes

(07:20):
or roots depending on how you learn to say that word.
And they win all four regional final four games before
before getting to the last couple of games by fifteen
or more points. They molly wopped Gonzaga over the weekend,
drew Timmy getting into foul trouble. That was a boat
race situation. However, my experience, maybe you can correct me

(07:41):
on this way. When I think of the typical Northeastern
sports fan, I do not think of a college sports fan.
I don't. I think of a professional sports fan, not
a college sports fan. So it's not like people go gaga,
Yeah I'm happy, but you know it's okay, I'm more
into pro sports, all right now? Pay two here? What

(08:01):
is missing from the final four were the two things
that are missing the stars that shine bright and the
name brands. The name brands the final four used to
be back on the old days. A showcase for the
top dogs and college basketball, the future NBA headliners. The
breakout star of this tournament, you know who. The breakout

(08:22):
star this tournament was eliminated by Florida Atlantic Marcus Noel.
Marcus Noel was the peacock of March Madness, must see TV,
the bug on the rug or in this case, the hardwood,
and now the super nova has been eliminated. Kansas State

(08:44):
done teammate Keyante Johnson was in foul trouble and Marcus
put up thirty points and twelve rebounds in that game.
On Saturday, the Purple Hayes Kansas State Jayhawks Kansas State Jayhawks.
The Wildcats go away. The Jayhawk's long gone. But Dick
will be drafted in the first round. Grady Dick will
be a first round pick. Not in the Final four,

(09:07):
by the way. But Noel, who should be in somebody's
NBA training camp, averaged twenty three and a half points,
thirteen and a half assist during the four games and
easily the standout of the entire tournament. But he's not
in the final four, which is a major bummer. And
none of the NBA's top suspects are going to be around,

(09:33):
they're not around, and it's a TV show without the
blue chip talent and the branding other than Connecticut, which
is again it's a stretch to say they're a legacy
program in college basketball since they started winning big in
nineteen ninety nine, and then you got a bunch of
generic brands outside of that. All right, last, we're here.

(09:54):
So who are you looking forward to seeing compete? Well,
for me, that's easy. While I give the final four
and f I'm doing a little happy dance. I'm not
doing the macarena. I'm doing the Aztec two step is
what I'm doing here. The Aztec two step. Not for Dysenterry.
I'm doing my happy dance because one of my first
paying gigs in radio when I worked in San Diego

(10:18):
was very briefly, I was the board opt the engineer
for San Diego State men's basketball. It was a very
rocky ride. I was bad at it. I sucked at it,
but San Diego State also sucked. No one was listening,
and so it's kind of cool to see that the Aztecs,
who've had some pretty good players off and on over
the years at San Diego State that have gone on

(10:38):
played in the NBA sporadically, but San Diego State into
the final four. They have a heck of a shot
to get to the title game playing the number nine
seed Florida Atlantic. And they've also been given the gift
I heard before I got on the microphones here, Arnie
Spanier picked Florida Atlantic, which pretty much guarantees San Diego
State will get it done. So that's good news for
the Aztecs, who play a defense of style which is rough,

(11:02):
uneven and un San Diego like you don't think of
a defensive institution in San Diego is not esthetically pleasing,
but it has been effective. And meanwhile, you have on
the other side of the bracket of Miami and Connecticut,
and so we're we're conceivably going to have an all
South Florida matchup at Florida Atlantic and Miami advance, or

(11:24):
we could have some combo of San Diego State, Connecticut,
San Diego State Miami. Meanwhile, I go back to the
generic brand, the lack of the wild factor in terms
of the headline players, and we knew going in college
basketball was up against it because the top player whose
teams have been gagging in the regular season the NBA

(11:47):
to try to get the Parisian prodigy Victor Wembanyama is
nowhere to be seen. Scoot Henderson is projected as being
a top three pick. He's not going to be there
as he was a G League player and the top
player of my mock drafts are riot to a couple
different mock drafts. The top player projected to be picked

(12:07):
is Jordan Hawkins of Connecticut. Who's your standard six five
shooting guard that is projected to be a late first
round pick. Those guys, I'll make a decent amount of
money for a couple of years, but likely won't be
in the NBA very long unless you're you're breaking from
the mold, breaking from the molder. I'm pulling for him

(12:28):
because we have the same birthday. I'm a little younger
than he is. He's in college, but maybe i'm a
little older. I don't know, but he was born in
April twenty n and Isaiah Wong and Jordan Miller of
Miami are projected to be second round picked San Diego
State in Florida Atlantic. Nobody on either one of those
teams has a player that is projected to be selected

back to the college basketball conversation coming up in a
little bit, but our leave this hour coming from the
trading Post. The NFL owner is getting together for a

(13:55):
pow wow in the Valley of the Sun. Waiting for
the other shoot to drop. As we countdown to Aaron
Rogers being traded. Is it going to happen this week?
Inquiring minds. We'd like to know dot dot dot. But
have you heard the latest? Perhaps not, Perhaps you were
watching college basketball, living your life and enjoying your life
on the week. Is not paying attention to any of

(14:16):
the noise. Well, Robert Salah, who's half man, half motivational speaker,
the coach in New Jersey for the team that wears green,
Robert Sala took time to praise the progress the Jets
suck Suck, suck, the Jets organization has made because Aaron

(14:40):
Rodgers is willing to play for them. Yep, he's willing
to play for them. Two years ago. This is a quote.
Two years ago, Salah said, when we first got there,
I just think just thinking about where we were and
how far we've come. Salas stated, to have a guy

(15:01):
like him meeting Rogers want to play for us is
pretty cool and shows how far we've come. Close quote.
That quote comes from Robert Salah. He gave it to
the state sponsored NFL network. They probably the news service
of football in America. So let us discuss the question,
does this aeron Rogers trade chatters say more about the

(15:26):
Jets or more about Aaron Rodgers and the arrow on
this one is pointing towards Aaron Rogers. Sorry, Robert Salah,
I've got foul subway rat and h Hitchcock in and
we will combine all of these things together and that

(15:47):
will be the bedrock of this Mallard monoloque. So number one,
this is not about the Jets. Aaron Rodgers has a
limited amount of suitors. You can say that's not right,

(16:07):
what's up with that? But that's the reality of the situation.
I'll tell you why Rogers is behind in the count.
He's got several strikes against him. He's fouled some balls
off at this point. That's the problem. So he's behind
the account. There's a lot of hearsay about Rogers, this,
that and the other thing. But the strikes against him,

(16:29):
what are they. I'll tell you thirty nine years old,
he'll turn forty before the next postseason. Strike one, Strike
two passed, obviously passed a cell by date, making tons
of money. I'm a salary cap truther, but I'm in
the minority in the neighborhood of sixty million dollars, so

(16:49):
not fiscally responsible. Aaron Rodgers. That strike two and the
pitch that he fouled off, that would be coming off
a down season. Rogers, with all that after glow fill
those MVP awards, was seventeenth in quarterback rating in the
NFL last season, twenty first in completion percentage to a

(17:10):
tongue of byload. Jared Goff and Mac Jones completed a
higher percentage. Rogers was tied for twenty fourth in completion
percentage with guys like Daniel Jones, who sucks. The Giants
don't know that yet because they paid him, and also
Mac Jones keeping up with the Joneses while Rodgers finished
in the top ten and interceptions. This is the Wall

(17:34):
Street party foul. It is a foul. Don't try to
catch a falling knife because if you try to catch it,
chances are you going to catch the blade and you're
gonna cut your hand. Get a big gusher of blood
going everywhere now, page two. So what is Robert Salo
looking to accomplish with his quote when he said how

(17:55):
great it is and praised the Jets organization for Rodgers
wanting to play for the Jets. So what is he
looking to accomplish with that comment? Well, it's rather obvious
that Robert Salah is looking to pat himself on the
back is what he's doing. This is a self congratulatory
comment by Salah. He's putting a feather in his hat,

(18:17):
extolling the virtues of Gang Green. He wants you to know,
he wants me to know. He wants the world to
know that the Jets are amazed balls. Oh my god,
they're so good, thanks to Robert Salah and Joe Douglas,
of course, rhapsodizing why the regime is so wonderful. Blah

(18:40):
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Meanwhile, it is
really chicken fertilizers, is what it is. It's chicken fertilizer.
It's puffery. The Jets have merely shown hot flashes, nothing
remarkable about going seven and ten, which is what the
Jets record was last season. When you take three steps

(19:01):
back and look out at the serengetti and you look
at the landscape here, the Jets have been acting this
offseason like a cornered New York City subway rat. They
are acting just like a subway rat, desperate to escape
the situation, in this case, the duldrums, and so they
have methodically recruited Rogers. The reason this is more about

(19:22):
Rogers than it is the Jets is because Rogers had
you didn't have options. The Jets meanwhile, have been over
backward to help Rogers out. The evidence is overwhelming, follow
the breadcrumbs, and so the Jets have taken up the plan,

(19:42):
which we'd all love to have it, the friend and
family plan, putting as many of number twelve buddies on
the payroll, giving them gigs, hiring a Rodgers confidant in
Nathaniel Hackett who couldn't hack it in Denver, They failed
Echo's head coach, signing another Rogers soul mate in Alan

(20:04):
Lazard away from northern Wisconsin, while working to add other
Bosom buddies like Odell Beckham. Friends and family of Rogers
get all the parks, all the goodies. So Robert Salas
talking about how great is I would say, how pathetic
the Jets look that they're going over the top to
recruit this guy. Now, final point, so why have we

(20:28):
not reached the deal? Why have the Jets and the
Packers been unable to get the deal done for Aaron
Rodgers get the trade done. So there's a couple of
theories on this. We don't have insider information here, but
we can certainly spitball, which is a lot more fun.
Rogers said earlier this month on a YouTube show on

(20:50):
YouTube influencer Pat McAfee show that he intends to play
for the Jets, but trade compensation is the only thing
stopping him from landing in New York. Right now, they
are at an impass at turning this into a hitchcocky
and melo drama is what they're doing here, dragging it out,

(21:13):
doing the limbo how low can you go? But there
is no rush to complete the deal. Now. Some of
said it's going to happen this week. I'll believe it
when it happens. There's a staring match and you're trying
to see who will flinch first. The talks have stalled
since the Jets big wigs are either unwilling or unsure
whether or not they want to trade a first round pick,

(21:35):
the number thirteen overall pick in the late April draft
from Kansas City to rent Aaron Rodgers for maybe only
one more year or possibly two. Now I think the
Jets are rather pathetic here. But you've already signed Hackett,
who can't coach. You signed Alan Lazard to suck up

(21:55):
to Aaron Rodgers. You've got to complete the trade. Just
give the first round pick. Who the hell cares? Most
of these picks do not work out as advertised anyway,
f mam picks. You'd rather take one championship, considering the
highlights of the Jets championship with Joe Namath back in
the day, that grainy, real by real highlight thing that

(22:18):
was like barely colored television. That's the last time the
Jets won, So you might as well go for it.
Who cares? And if you get burned because you trade
the thirteenth pick overall and it ends up turning out
to be a great player in Green Bay, then who cares? All? Right?
One season, one season sitting at the grown ups table
is worth it. At this particular point, when Rogers retires,

(22:40):
you'll figure it out. People say it's not fair. It's
a band aid. Who cares. It's a good band aid.
And if you've ever cut yourself, a good band aid
goes a long way. It's a good that's a solid
band aid. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hi,
this is Jay Glazer, and you may know me for
the world of football or fighting, or even shows like

(23:03):
HBO Ballers. Well you don't know is for my entire life.
I have lived in something I refer to as the
gray depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a
new podcast, Unbreakable, a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer,
where each week, while we talk about mental health, I
hope to describe it, give it words. Listen to Unbreakable
with Jay Glazer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or

(23:26):
wherever you get your podcasts. How about the leg to
the Third Degree? One of my heroes gets grilled, all right,
koglu Nick start. Jalen Brunson told The Reporter recently that
he at one point was willing to sign with the
Mavericks for roughly half of what the Knicks ended up

(23:46):
paying him, but Dallas dragged their feet on negotiations. Ben,
do you think the mass made the wrong choice by
letting Brunson go? See I don't believe Jalen Bronson. This
is an after the fact story. He's like, I'm a
good guy. I'm a good cop. Then Dallas is the
bad cop. You should love me. If Brunson had his
heart set on staying with the Mavericks. He would still

(24:09):
be playing in Texas, right the Knickerbockers second thought. I
the Knickerbockers put in a full court press. They recruited
Brunson for over a year through back channels to get
him to New York. They paid him. They gave him
one hundred and four million after taxes. It's not that
much because it's New York. But he's also got ties there.
And I don't believe Brunson. I think he's full of crap. Next,

(24:34):
but Bronkls wide receiver Jerry Judy has had his name
come up in trade rumors for weeks now. Earlier this
morning they were saying they wouldn't let him go for
any more than any less than a first or second
round pick. Then this morning Sean Payton said that they're
not going to trade Jerry Judy or Courtland Sutton. Do
you believe him? I don't because Champ it's easy to
say that now. But if somebody gives you what you want,

(24:55):
you'll trade him. And Judy is more likely to be
traded than not. The Roncos can be patient for now.
The big point of traders that is the NFL Draft.
But he's inconsistent, and he's not one of Sean Payton's guys.
So I'll believe it when September comes around and Judy's
still on the team. Next and MLB Insider recently said
that negotiations with Shohei Ohtani are going to start at

(25:18):
five hundred million, and it's just a question of how
high will it go? Yeah, Ben, what do you think
oh Tanny's contract will be? How come people gonna write
that when my contracts up that it's gonna Mallar's contracts
gonna start at five hundred million. Now, these things are
always outrageous. There there's only a finite amount of teams
that will bid on Otani. He'll get around five hundred million,
but he's not gonna get a billion. Let's stop that.

(25:39):

a winner? Put it on the far color Free Radio wausers.
