This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Some say CDs is dating technology, but the cowboys paying
top dollar for a CD Welcome in the beginning of
another night of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in
the air everywhere, shooting the breeze as we unveil the
(00:55):
mysteries of the night Coastuck Coast, Border, the border in
beyond on the vast and emphatically powerful microphones of FSR,
am monating live from the market, the flea market of

The way tire mine should be a no griddles loves
that ten thousand number. Griddles big fan of that. So
(01:39):
our lead this hour from Jerry's World, the ongoing soap
opera has taken a plot twist. Here, after months and
months and months of nothing other than chatter, we've got movement.
The eagle has landed, or in this case, the boy
(02:00):
is back in the saddle again. I assume you've heard
by now, But perhaps you live in a bubble and
you don't have radio reception or Wi Fi, and you've
been out of the loop, d loop, you might have
missed it. The Cowboys, that's a football team in Dallas,
and they have agreed to terms with wide receiver C. D. Lamb.
(02:25):
I'm more of a streaming guy, but CEEDE Lamb agrees
to terms. Here ends his holdout. He agrees to a
four year contract for one hundred and thirty six million
dead presidents. The deal the second highest ever paid to
a non quarterback in NFL history. A certain white out
(02:45):
who enjoys the land of ten thousand lakes there in
Minnesota making more. But the deal for Ceed Lamb includes
thirty eight million right away boom done, pay off all
your expenses, thirty eight million signing bonus, after taxes, that's
about fifty bucks. But then also the largest amount ever
(03:08):
given to a wide receiver in terms of the guaranteed money,
one hundred million dollars guaranteed for C. D. Lamb as
he is locked up, but only for the next four years,
and they'll start dissecting the contract and breaking it all apart.
But let us discuss the question wide receiver CD Lamp
(03:32):
getting one hundred and thirty six million of Jerry Jones money.
What is your verdict on this mega, mega mega deal.
So I've got confectionery, Lady Gaga and Glorean and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(03:52):
gonna close the front doors. What we're gonna do so
a the Malor report card. Let's not waste any time here,
no deleet. We go right to the malle report card,
which is the report card record on Ceeddee Lamb getting
the big money, big money, big money, big money from
the cowboys, no whammy. The cowboys on the Mallard report
card get and I want to be clear, they get
(04:13):
an F all right, they get an F. Now, Ceedee
Lamb it takes two to tango. He gets an A
plus plus plus so cowboys get an f ceedee Lamb
gets a plus plus plus. The better story is in
the loser's locker room or in this case, the loser's
owner's suite.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Jerry Jones makes it so easy. He makes it so
easy to dogpile on top. Seriously, what the heck? What
kind of crack are you smoking? I don't understand if
this was your intention, and we assume it was. I
tried to give the benefit of the doubt to Jerry Jones,
(04:59):
But if this was always the plan, what on God's
green earth were you thinking?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You ran a marathon, you got twenty six miles into
the marathon, and then you faded when you only had
to go the final point two miles to close the
marathon out. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night, bye
bye man. You were so close. I was gonna give
(05:28):
Jerry Jones a little puffy sticker if he had made
it to the regular season without paying, but instead, no, yeah,
you don't get that. Instead, Jerry went down to the
confectionery and he served up the Pineapple doll Whip, which
is delicious. It is, of course, a classic soft serve,
(05:49):
classic soft serve from Jerry Jones. Here more football male
practice for the Dallas Cowboys. If again, let me repeat
for those who in the back of the room a
little slow, your goal was to sign Ceedee Lamb to
a big extension. If that was the end game that
you were trying to get to, you could have, should
(06:10):
have would have signed him. I don't know, four months ago, right,
four months ago before everyone got paid at the wide
receiver position, you would have gotten the player. You would
have paid less for the player, and he would have
been at training camp, whatever that's worth. But instead you
(06:32):
twiddled your thumbs. You put up this false front of
bravado that things were gonna be different. The perception was
that Jerry Jones had finally had enough one too many
suckbag performances by the Dallas Cowboys in a big game,
and finally Jerry was gonna hold this team accountable, the
(06:52):
star players on this team accountable. He wasn't gonna came
in and he said, you know, I like Ceedee Lamb
as a player. Bah listen, not good enough, Dak Prescott
not good enough, Michah Parsons, do better, be better. And instead,
when push came to shove, Jerry genuflected and said, okay,
(07:14):
I'll pay. I'll give you the most money guaranteed I
can give you. Right there, we're gonna set some kind
of new record. And so that's where we are. And
for Cede Lamb on the other side, this is like
that that old slogan from a Maxwell coffee back of
the day. It's good to the last drop. He gets
to skip camp. He doesn't have to worry about all
that nonsense going to Oxnard where the hotel's on fire,
(07:36):
doesn't have to worry about that shows up, pass, go
and collect the eventually one hundred million dollars guaranteed. All
right now, page two. Now that Jerry Jones has dusted
off the old wallet, gone down and gotten some petty
cash out for CD Lamb. Now that that's done, how
(07:57):
does the ceed Lamb deal change thing, if at all,
for Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons. So the early reports
off telling you what we're hearing. The early reports are
that doesn't change anything. The Cowboys are not anywhere close
to a deal on a Dak Prescott contract extension or
(08:18):
Micah Parsons. I doubt believe it. I doubt I would
be stunned if Dak doesn't get a new contract by
the time they kick off, because if your point was
to hold everyone accountable, then you wouldn't have paid ceed Limb.
You paid him, So why not just pay Dak Presley.
Everyone gets paid. Go out there and your anake down
your leg again in a big game, and I have
(08:38):
no skin in the game. I'm not a cowboy guy.
I sit as a neutral arbiter on the side, and
I point my finger and I laugh at the cowboys.
I laugh at the lack of big game pedigree from
Dak Prescott and the rest of these clowns. And Jerry Jones.
I thought, well, maybe, just maybe Jerry would again change
(08:59):
his ways. But no, no, no, no, no, no, Jerry Jones,
he's if you're Dak Prescott or Michael Parsons, you know
how to play the game. Right, is the easiest game
to play. Jerry's already crossed the rubicon, so just be patient.
And you know that Jerry Jones, It's like Lady Gaga's
(09:19):
poker face, but out of tune. Jerry's got a bad
poker face, and eventually he's going to caven. He's going
to give you what you want. It is going to happen.
And this era of Cowboy football has been defined by
suck in big games. That's the Cowboys and Jerry Jones
(09:43):
keeps pouring gasoline over the flame. Gasoline over the flame.
This entire era of Cowboy football has been contaminated with
toxic play in big moments. And yet you are rewarding
bad behavior and you can't let Ceedee Lamb leef said
(10:04):
the low information cowboy fan. Why not you can lose
against the Green Bay Packers on wild Card weekend with
some other Jabbroni playing wide receiver. All right, now, last
word here, if you look around the Cowboy roster, they
did bumpcis bumpcus to improve the team this offseason as
far as players on the outside come in. So now
(10:25):
that Seedee Lamb has agreed to a contract, these streets
are talking around the Dallas Metroplex there and they're indicating
that there is more help on the way. Say why
and that would be a running back and the news
and we'll see how this goes down. But the news
(10:46):
on Monday night is that the Cowboys flew in Dalvin Cook,
remember him, just be good with the vikings. Dalvin Cook?
Does he make sense? For the Cowboys as he was
meeting on money. I assume the meetings will continue. Early
on Tuesday, they had a little bit of a pow wow,
(11:08):
probably ate some barbecue and all that great Texas food there.
I don't know about tex Mex. I don't like text Mex.
But the barbecue's good and hang out there. So does
it make sense? No, of course it doesn't make sense.
That's why the Cowboys like they've already signed mister Cook
to a contract. There's a reason that Dalvin Cook was
(11:29):
still available as we head into late August. Because the
Cook is cooked. That would be why. And he was
absolute garbage with the Jets, and he's stunk and high
heaven with the Ravens. It is kind of amusing. I
hope you like me. When you see these reports coming
(11:50):
out from the NFL insiders, you can tell who's on
the take, who's in the can with the agents. Like
some of these announcements, like Dalvin Cook meeting with the Cowboys,
it's like it was written by the agent. It's solid.
They don't even try to hide it. They used to
try to hide it. They used to try to pretend like,
oh no, we don't do that. I'm neutral. I get
(12:13):
information from agents, but I'm not going to republish the
nonsense with my knee pads on for Dalvin Cook, who's
been washed and the vikings. The last year is in Minnesota.
This is one the nerds got right that Dalvin Cook
had reached the threshold too many touches, the point of
diminishing returns, And that's exactly what happened last year. But
(12:36):
all you have to do is send out a sizzle
reel if I'm working out, and all of a sudden,
everyone gets all horny again. They're like, oh, Dalvin Cook's
back because he can bench press a bunch of wait, congratulations.
The jocksniffers will say, if you ignore your lying eyes,
that he's really good. He's a great running back. Yeah,
look at that cowboy running back room. On one side,
(12:59):
you've got Zeke Elliott. On the other side, you conceivably
will have Dalvin Cook. And if only you had that
DeLorean and you could go back to the year twenty nineteen,
that would be an iconic backfit. Seem running back room
Dalvin Cook circa twenty nineteen twenty twenty and Zeke Elliott
(13:22):
circa twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. But at this point,
don't let a falling star fall on you, don't do it.

(15:20):
football league ti iraq dot com the Way tire Buying
show be so Holdball's well with you. We're back at
it again this hour and the Hour of the burg
Now Pittsburgh been on the naughty list for some of
my friends in Pittsburgh with the commentary that we've had
(15:40):
about Russell Wilson over the last several weeks, but there
is still no formal announcement. We think we know who
the quarterback is going to be, but it's really just
a matter of when, not if. It's not a matter if,
it's a matter of when. Wilson becomes a QB. One
(16:03):
may happen later today when the sun gets up. Who knows.
But the reaction to the inevitable move by the Pittsburgh
football team is the part of the story which I'm
getting a kick out of because a handful of prominent
blowhards and gas bags in the sports media are upset,
(16:25):
talking heads, very angry with Mike Tomlin. They're annoyed with
Mike Tomlin. Then why are they annoyed with Mike tomb
They've annoyed because he presented the illusion, in their opinion
of competition that this was an open competition between Russell
mister unlimited Wilson and Josh twenty twenty three offseason MVP Fields.
(16:50):
So it wasn't we know that it wasn't These people
feel like they were led astray the idea that Justin
Field's had a fair chance to win the starting job
and beat out mister mister unlimited in Pittsburgh. So let
us discuss the question, are you gonna go thumbs up
(17:10):
or thumbs down? Thumbs up er thumbs down? Did Mike
tom hornswaggle the media with this contrived quarterback controversy between
Russell Wilson and justin Fields. That is the question. All right.
(17:31):
So I've got Peter, Paul and Mary, Chocolate Thunder and Hasbro,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have one hell of a knee
jerk reactions what we're going to do so number So
(17:54):
I'm gonna go thumbs down to answer the question. I'm
gonna go thumbs down, not thumbs up, thumbs down on
the idea that Mike, Tom and Horne swaggled people in
the media. This is classic faux outrage. I love to
call out faux outrage. I don't take part in fo outrage.
I try to avoid the faux outrage. Every once in
a while I'll stumble into it. But no, my position
rather clear here. This is not an esoteric situation. It
(18:17):
is not right. This was telegraphed by Tomlin. This whole
thing was telegraphed. Read the room right. If I'm doing
the overnight show in a dark radio studio, although there
are lights here because there's cameras, but nonetheless generally dark,
and I know what's going on, You're telling me that
(18:38):
these talking heads can't figure that out. I'm smarter than
these morons. Come on, maybe I am. That says more
about them than it does about me. But look at
the situation here. It was all laid out on the table,
everything was there to see. Russell was and me explain
it to you like you're five years old. So Russell
Wilson gets let go by the Broncos. He goes to
(19:01):
Pittsburgh so quick romance Kenny Pickett at the time was
part of the Steelers. He immediately ends up asking for
a trade. He goes to the Philadelphia football team. The
reason he wanted out was because he was informed that
Russell Wilson's going to be QB one and he's not
going to be the starter. So then the Black and
(19:23):
Yellow went out and acquired Justin Fields from the Bears.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They gave up I think some pocket lit and a
half eaten bag of potato chips to get Justin Fields,
so they got him. Mike Tomlin then made it perfectly
clear to every man, woman and child that was listening
that Russell Wilson was in the pole position to be
the starter in Pittsburgh. So let me rephrase that again.
(19:49):
The only people, the only people who saw this as
a legit quarterback controversy in Pittsburgh where this listening to
some old Peter Paul and Mary puff the Magic Dragon.
They were having a puffin good time here. Russell Wilson
and Justin Fields were both overmatched in the exhibition games.
(20:12):
So by default, if one guy's in the pole position
and the other guys on the outside trying to come
ahead of the the guy in the pole position the
guy in the pole position. If they're both the same
they both sucked back quarterbacks, the person in the pole
position gets the job, all right. Now, page two, we
shuffle off to Miami, Miami, Miami. I'm looking confused. Maybe
(20:35):
you can help me out on this. I'm confused by
this is a story, it's a Mallard follow up Malord
Show follow up and regards his story. We talked about
a couple weeks ago. Dolphins quarterback to a Tongue by
loa good old too. He was asked about his relationship
with his former coach. He says he has not heard
from Brian Flores since he publicly undressed his former head coach,
(20:59):
and does that surprise you? Are you surprised? It seems
like some members of the media are surprised, like, well,
I can't believe there was no conversation in the take place.
So I'm gonna shake my head now, I'm not surprised
in the least. I would have been surprised if they
had had a conversation. What is there to talk about? Right?
What is left to be said? Brian Flores is working
for the Vikings. He's also suing the NFL. Tua is
(21:23):
employed by the Dolphins. Their paths do not cross. They're
not scheduled to play each other here in twenty twenty four.
And it reminds me of a famous line by the
late great Chocolate Thunder, one of the all time solid
nicknames in sports history. There's a basketball player he's dead now,
but Darryl Dawkins named Chocolate Thunder, and he so eloquently
(21:46):
pointed out back in the day, he said, when everything
is said, Darryl Dawkins said, when everything is said and done,
there is nothing left to do or say. And that's
the way it is when it comes to Tua and
Brian Flores. Tua laid him out. Brian Flores, he said,
I'm hurt by this move on. And that was that
(22:06):
he unloaded two of the holster and let it rip,
and that was that, and so now we move on.
All right now, final point, high speed transaction, wire lighting up,
roster cutdowns, last minute trades as rosters have to be trimmed.
(22:27):
The thinning of the herd, but not the cow herd show.
So the Green Bay Packers have traded a twenty twenty
five to seventh round pick. You talk about a big commodity.
They trade this draft pick to the Tennessee Titans. In return,
they get quarterback Malik Willis. Give me Liberty or give
(22:47):
me Willis, the old liberty quarterback late of Alabama or
not Auburn in the state of Alabama. Malik Willis is
now headed to Lomball Field and he is expected to
be the backup to Jordan Love. There was a quarterback
battle for backup status and both lost, at least according
(23:10):
to this because why else would you trade if you're
the Packers, for Malik Willis if you already had your
backup quarterback. So question for the esteemed panel, what do
the Packers see in former Titans quarterback Malik Willis? Because
I haven't seen any so what an ac So it
is a great question, because Malik Willis did get a
(23:32):
little cup of coffee with the Titans and look like
he had never picked up a football before. He would
have been better playing volleyball than football the way he
played back in the day. But he has a high ceiling.
That's what the nerds like to say, because he was
drafting the third round, but he had first round talent,
they said a couple of years ago. He's got a
(23:53):
charismatic personality, and of course he was also an abject failure.
You have to have rose colored glasses, right, you have
to be a cock eyed optimist to celebrate Malik willis
change of scenery. He looked overmatched, absolutely overmatched. He was manhandled.
But that was a small sample size. But Green Bay
(24:14):
looks at this. Here's the way I if I'm the Packers,
I look at this, I'm like, okay. They probably liked
him before the draft, coming out of Liberty, mid round quarterback.
They don't have a backup quarterback, so they need somebody.
They need to put a body in there. And if
Jordan Love gets hurt, they're cooked anyway, So who cares?
So you have Malik Willis as the backup. They like
his skill set and it's really a Hasbro move. It's
(24:37):
a Hasbro move. That think of Malik Willis's Neon Green Plato,
and it's an arts and crafts project at this particular
point for Malik Willis. And so the packers are going
to take that Neon Green Plato and they're going to
put him in the fun Factory at lambeau Field with
(24:59):
the world's largest gift shop with all kinds of packer memorabilia,
and they'll try to mold him into a useful player
behind Jordan Love. And then if something actually does work out.
This is the old model they used to do in
Green Bay, where they'd always have when Brett Favre was there,
they'd have backups, and they even just with Ann Rodgers
at the beginning. And you can say all the way through,
(25:19):
actually the way it turned out, where they always had
someone who had perceived value as a backup, and then
if that guy turns out to look good in practice,
they can then trade him, use some skulduggery and get
some more draft picks in return.

Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is one big event gets grilled.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
According to a recent report, the Lakers are looking ahead
to the post lebron era and hope to land Luka
Doncik as the next face of the franchise. Ben, could
you see Luca joining the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, there are more donut shops per capita in southern
California than anywhere else, and the pink donut box was
invented in Southern California. I'm at the point now with
the NBA just depends what the scriptwriters want, right, they want,
you know, the Lakers Lobrono the my entire life, They've
always gotten whoever they wanted. So if the Lakers want him,
he'll be a Laker. That's how it always works. Whoever
(26:20):
they want, they get. Except for Chris Paul. There's still
people still bitching about.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
That next He did look pretty fat over the weekend.
We're all just Chapman moved into fourth all time for
strikeouts by a relief pitcher. The three guys ahead of
him are all in the Hall of Fame. Does Chapman
make the Hall when it's all said and done?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
All right, So here's my problem with Chapman. The eyeball
test does not say Hall of Fame to me, But
the stats do say hall of fam. He has baggage,
which is a problem, but part of the you think
about the great Cubs team that won the World He's
been with the Yankees, never won with the Yankees though
the only time he won was with the Chicago Cubs.
(26:59):
The number say it's a borderline hall of fame resume,
I'll say he doesn't get it.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Next, does Aaron Judge's recent display of power make you
think that Barry Bonds's record of seventy three D one
home runs isn't unobtainable.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
If done clean. I believe it's unattainable if there are
steroids involved. Aaron Judge is gonna hit ninety home runs
in a season. Ninety home runs? But yeah, that was
a steroid record. How did we do he passes? That
is a week put on the bar? Yes, whoo.

Some say CDs is dating technology, but the cowboys paying

another night of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in
the air everywhere, shooting the breeze as we unveil the
(00:55):
mysteries of the night Coastuck Coast, Border, the border in

The way tire mine should be a no griddles loves
that ten thousand number. Griddles big fan of that. So
(01:39):
our lead this hour from Jerry's World, the ongoing soap
opera has taken a plot twist. Here, after months and
months and months of nothing other than chatter, we've got movement.
The eagle has landed, or in this case, the boy
(02:00):
is back in the saddle again. I assume you've heard
by now, But perhaps you live in a bubble and
you don't have radio reception or Wi Fi, and you've
been out of the loop, d loop, you might have
missed it. The Cowboys, that's a football team in Dallas,
and they have agreed to terms with wide receiver C. D. Lamb.
(02:25):
I'm more of a streaming guy, but CEEDE Lamb agrees
to terms. Here ends his holdout. He agrees to a
four year contract for one hundred and thirty six million
dead presidents. The deal the second highest ever paid to
a non quarterback in NFL history. A certain white out
(02:45):
who enjoys the land of ten thousand lakes there in
Minnesota making more. But the deal for Ceed Lamb includes
thirty eight million right away boom done, pay off all
your expenses, thirty eight million signing bonus, after taxes, that's
about fifty bucks. But then also the largest amount ever
(03:08):
given to a wide receiver in terms of the guaranteed money,
one hundred million dollars guaranteed for C. D. Lamb as
he is locked up, but only for the next four years,
and they'll start dissecting the contract and breaking it all apart.
But let us discuss the question wide receiver CD Lamp
(03:32):
getting one hundred and thirty six million of Jerry Jones money.
What is your verdict on this mega, mega mega deal.
So I've got confectionery, Lady Gaga and Glorean and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(03:52):
gonna close the front doors. What we're gonna do so
a the Malor report card. Let's not waste any time here,
no deleet. We go right to the malle report card,
which is the report card record on Ceeddee Lamb getting
the big money, big money, big money, big money from
the cowboys, no whammy. The cowboys on the Mallard report
card get and I want to be clear, they get
(04:13):
an F all right, they get an F. Now, Ceedee
Lamb it takes two to tango. He gets an A
plus plus plus so cowboys get an f ceedee Lamb
gets a plus plus plus. The better story is in
the loser's locker room or in this case, the loser's
owner's suite.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Jerry Jones makes it so easy. He makes it so
easy to dogpile on top. Seriously, what the heck? What
kind of crack are you smoking? I don't understand if
this was your intention, and we assume it was. I
tried to give the benefit of the doubt to Jerry Jones,
(04:59):
But if this was always the plan, what on God's
green earth were you thinking?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You ran a marathon, you got twenty six miles into
the marathon, and then you faded when you only had
to go the final point two miles to close the
marathon out. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night, bye
bye man. You were so close. I was gonna give
(05:28):
Jerry Jones a little puffy sticker if he had made
it to the regular season without paying, but instead, no, yeah,
you don't get that. Instead, Jerry went down to the
confectionery and he served up the Pineapple doll Whip, which
is delicious. It is, of course, a classic soft serve,
(05:49):
classic soft serve from Jerry Jones. Here more football male
practice for the Dallas Cowboys. If again, let me repeat
for those who in the back of the room a
little slow, your goal was to sign Ceedee Lamb to
a big extension. If that was the end game that
you were trying to get to, you could have, should
(06:10):
have would have signed him. I don't know, four months ago, right,
four months ago before everyone got paid at the wide
receiver position, you would have gotten the player. You would
have paid less for the player, and he would have
been at training camp, whatever that's worth. But instead you
(06:32):
twiddled your thumbs. You put up this false front of
bravado that things were gonna be different. The perception was
that Jerry Jones had finally had enough one too many
suckbag performances by the Dallas Cowboys in a big game,
and finally Jerry was gonna hold this team accountable, the
(06:52):
star players on this team accountable. He wasn't gonna came
in and he said, you know, I like Ceedee Lamb
as a player. Bah listen, not good enough, Dak Prescott
not good enough, Michah Parsons, do better, be better. And instead,
when push came to shove, Jerry genuflected and said, okay,
(07:14):
I'll pay. I'll give you the most money guaranteed I
can give you. Right there, we're gonna set some kind
of new record. And so that's where we are. And
for Cede Lamb on the other side, this is like
that that old slogan from a Maxwell coffee back of
the day. It's good to the last drop. He gets
to skip camp. He doesn't have to worry about all
that nonsense going to Oxnard where the hotel's on fire,
(07:36):
doesn't have to worry about that shows up, pass, go
and collect the eventually one hundred million dollars guaranteed. All
right now, page two. Now that Jerry Jones has dusted
off the old wallet, gone down and gotten some petty
cash out for CD Lamb. Now that that's done, how
(07:57):
does the ceed Lamb deal change thing, if at all,
for Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons. So the early reports
off telling you what we're hearing. The early reports are
that doesn't change anything. The Cowboys are not anywhere close
to a deal on a Dak Prescott contract extension or
(08:18):
Micah Parsons. I doubt believe it. I doubt I would
be stunned if Dak doesn't get a new contract by
the time they kick off, because if your point was
to hold everyone accountable, then you wouldn't have paid ceed Limb.
You paid him, So why not just pay Dak Presley.
Everyone gets paid. Go out there and your anake down
your leg again in a big game, and I have
(08:38):
no skin in the game. I'm not a cowboy guy.
I sit as a neutral arbiter on the side, and
I point my finger and I laugh at the cowboys.
I laugh at the lack of big game pedigree from
Dak Prescott and the rest of these clowns. And Jerry Jones.
I thought, well, maybe, just maybe Jerry would again change
(08:59):
his ways. But no, no, no, no, no, no, Jerry Jones,
he's if you're Dak Prescott or Michael Parsons, you know
how to play the game. Right, is the easiest game
to play. Jerry's already crossed the rubicon, so just be patient.
And you know that Jerry Jones, It's like Lady Gaga's
(09:19):
poker face, but out of tune. Jerry's got a bad
poker face, and eventually he's going to caven. He's going
to give you what you want. It is going to happen.
And this era of Cowboy football has been defined by
suck in big games. That's the Cowboys and Jerry Jones
(09:43):
keeps pouring gasoline over the flame. Gasoline over the flame.
This entire era of Cowboy football has been contaminated with
toxic play in big moments. And yet you are rewarding
bad behavior and you can't let Ceedee Lamb leef said
(10:04):
the low information cowboy fan. Why not you can lose
against the Green Bay Packers on wild Card weekend with
some other Jabbroni playing wide receiver. All right, now, last
word here, if you look around the Cowboy roster, they
did bumpcis bumpcus to improve the team this offseason as
far as players on the outside come in. So now
(10:25):
that Seedee Lamb has agreed to a contract, these streets
are talking around the Dallas Metroplex there and they're indicating
that there is more help on the way. Say why
and that would be a running back and the news
and we'll see how this goes down. But the news
(10:46):
on Monday night is that the Cowboys flew in Dalvin Cook,
remember him, just be good with the vikings. Dalvin Cook?
Does he make sense? For the Cowboys as he was
meeting on money. I assume the meetings will continue. Early
on Tuesday, they had a little bit of a pow wow,
(11:08):
probably ate some barbecue and all that great Texas food there.
I don't know about tex Mex. I don't like text Mex.
But the barbecue's good and hang out there. So does
it make sense? No, of course it doesn't make sense.
That's why the Cowboys like they've already signed mister Cook
to a contract. There's a reason that Dalvin Cook was
(11:29):
still available as we head into late August. Because the
Cook is cooked. That would be why. And he was
absolute garbage with the Jets, and he's stunk and high
heaven with the Ravens. It is kind of amusing. I
hope you like me. When you see these reports coming
(11:50):
out from the NFL insiders, you can tell who's on
the take, who's in the can with the agents. Like
some of these announcements, like Dalvin Cook meeting with the Cowboys,
it's like it was written by the agent. It's solid.
They don't even try to hide it. They used to
try to hide it. They used to try to pretend like,
oh no, we don't do that. I'm neutral. I get
(12:13):
information from agents, but I'm not going to republish the
nonsense with my knee pads on for Dalvin Cook, who's
been washed and the vikings. The last year is in Minnesota.
This is one the nerds got right that Dalvin Cook
had reached the threshold too many touches, the point of
diminishing returns, And that's exactly what happened last year. But
(12:36):
all you have to do is send out a sizzle
reel if I'm working out, and all of a sudden,
everyone gets all horny again. They're like, oh, Dalvin Cook's
back because he can bench press a bunch of wait, congratulations.
The jocksniffers will say, if you ignore your lying eyes,
that he's really good. He's a great running back. Yeah,
look at that cowboy running back room. On one side,
(12:59):
you've got Zeke Elliott. On the other side, you conceivably
will have Dalvin Cook. And if only you had that
DeLorean and you could go back to the year twenty nineteen,
that would be an iconic backfit. Seem running back room
Dalvin Cook circa twenty nineteen twenty twenty and Zeke Elliott
(13:22):
circa twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. But at this point,
don't let a falling star fall on you, don't do it.

football league ti iraq dot com the Way tire Buying
show be so Holdball's well with you. We're back at
it again this hour and the Hour of the burg
Now Pittsburgh been on the naughty list for some of
my friends in Pittsburgh with the commentary that we've had
(15:40):
about Russell Wilson over the last several weeks, but there
is still no formal announcement. We think we know who
the quarterback is going to be, but it's really just
a matter of when, not if. It's not a matter if,
it's a matter of when. Wilson becomes a QB. One
(16:03):
may happen later today when the sun gets up. Who knows.
But the reaction to the inevitable move by the Pittsburgh
football team is the part of the story which I'm
getting a kick out of because a handful of prominent
blowhards and gas bags in the sports media are upset,
(16:25):
talking heads, very angry with Mike Tomlin. They're annoyed with
Mike Tomlin. Then why are they annoyed with Mike tomb
They've annoyed because he presented the illusion, in their opinion
of competition that this was an open competition between Russell
mister unlimited Wilson and Josh twenty twenty three offseason MVP Fields.
(16:50):
So it wasn't we know that it wasn't These people
feel like they were led astray the idea that Justin
Field's had a fair chance to win the starting job
and beat out mister mister unlimited in Pittsburgh. So let
us discuss the question, are you gonna go thumbs up
(17:10):
or thumbs down? Thumbs up er thumbs down? Did Mike
tom hornswaggle the media with this contrived quarterback controversy between
Russell Wilson and justin Fields. That is the question. All right.
(17:31):
So I've got Peter, Paul and Mary, Chocolate Thunder and Hasbro,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have one hell of a knee
jerk reactions what we're going to do so number So
(17:54):
I'm gonna go thumbs down to answer the question. I'm
gonna go thumbs down, not thumbs up, thumbs down on
the idea that Mike, Tom and Horne swaggled people in
the media. This is classic faux outrage. I love to
call out faux outrage. I don't take part in fo outrage.
I try to avoid the faux outrage. Every once in
a while I'll stumble into it. But no, my position
rather clear here. This is not an esoteric situation. It
(18:17):
is not right. This was telegraphed by Tomlin. This whole
thing was telegraphed. Read the room right. If I'm doing
the overnight show in a dark radio studio, although there
are lights here because there's cameras, but nonetheless generally dark,
and I know what's going on, You're telling me that
(18:38):
these talking heads can't figure that out. I'm smarter than
these morons. Come on, maybe I am. That says more
about them than it does about me. But look at
the situation here. It was all laid out on the table,
everything was there to see. Russell was and me explain
it to you like you're five years old. So Russell
Wilson gets let go by the Broncos. He goes to
(19:01):
Pittsburgh so quick romance Kenny Pickett at the time was
part of the Steelers. He immediately ends up asking for
a trade. He goes to the Philadelphia football team. The
reason he wanted out was because he was informed that
Russell Wilson's going to be QB one and he's not
going to be the starter. So then the Black and
(19:23):
Yellow went out and acquired Justin Fields from the Bears.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They gave up I think some pocket lit and a
half eaten bag of potato chips to get Justin Fields,
so they got him. Mike Tomlin then made it perfectly
clear to every man, woman and child that was listening
that Russell Wilson was in the pole position to be
the starter in Pittsburgh. So let me rephrase that again.
(19:49):
The only people, the only people who saw this as
a legit quarterback controversy in Pittsburgh where this listening to
some old Peter Paul and Mary puff the Magic Dragon.
They were having a puffin good time here. Russell Wilson
and Justin Fields were both overmatched in the exhibition games.
(20:12):
So by default, if one guy's in the pole position
and the other guys on the outside trying to come
ahead of the the guy in the pole position the
guy in the pole position. If they're both the same
they both sucked back quarterbacks, the person in the pole
position gets the job, all right. Now, page two, we
shuffle off to Miami, Miami, Miami. I'm looking confused. Maybe
(20:35):
you can help me out on this. I'm confused by
this is a story, it's a Mallard follow up Malord
Show follow up and regards his story. We talked about
a couple weeks ago. Dolphins quarterback to a Tongue by
loa good old too. He was asked about his relationship
with his former coach. He says he has not heard
from Brian Flores since he publicly undressed his former head coach,
(20:59):
and does that surprise you? Are you surprised? It seems
like some members of the media are surprised, like, well,
I can't believe there was no conversation in the take place.
So I'm gonna shake my head now, I'm not surprised
in the least. I would have been surprised if they
had had a conversation. What is there to talk about? Right?
What is left to be said? Brian Flores is working
for the Vikings. He's also suing the NFL. Tua is
(21:23):
employed by the Dolphins. Their paths do not cross. They're
not scheduled to play each other here in twenty twenty four.
And it reminds me of a famous line by the
late great Chocolate Thunder, one of the all time solid
nicknames in sports history. There's a basketball player he's dead now,
but Darryl Dawkins named Chocolate Thunder, and he so eloquently
(21:46):
pointed out back in the day, he said, when everything
is said, Darryl Dawkins said, when everything is said and done,
there is nothing left to do or say. And that's
the way it is when it comes to Tua and
Brian Flores. Tua laid him out. Brian Flores, he said,
I'm hurt by this move on. And that was that
(22:06):
he unloaded two of the holster and let it rip,
and that was that, and so now we move on.
All right now, final point, high speed transaction, wire lighting up,
roster cutdowns, last minute trades as rosters have to be trimmed.
(22:27):
The thinning of the herd, but not the cow herd show.
So the Green Bay Packers have traded a twenty twenty
five to seventh round pick. You talk about a big commodity.
They trade this draft pick to the Tennessee Titans. In return,
they get quarterback Malik Willis. Give me Liberty or give
(22:47):
me Willis, the old liberty quarterback late of Alabama or
not Auburn in the state of Alabama. Malik Willis is
now headed to Lomball Field and he is expected to
be the backup to Jordan Love. There was a quarterback
battle for backup status and both lost, at least according
(23:10):
to this because why else would you trade if you're
the Packers, for Malik Willis if you already had your
backup quarterback. So question for the esteemed panel, what do
the Packers see in former Titans quarterback Malik Willis? Because
I haven't seen any so what an ac So it
is a great question, because Malik Willis did get a
(23:32):
little cup of coffee with the Titans and look like
he had never picked up a football before. He would
have been better playing volleyball than football the way he
played back in the day. But he has a high ceiling.
That's what the nerds like to say, because he was
drafting the third round, but he had first round talent,
they said a couple of years ago. He's got a
(23:53):
charismatic personality, and of course he was also an abject failure.
You have to have rose colored glasses, right, you have
to be a cock eyed optimist to celebrate Malik willis
change of scenery. He looked overmatched, absolutely overmatched. He was manhandled.
But that was a small sample size. But Green Bay
(24:14):
looks at this. Here's the way I if I'm the Packers,
I look at this, I'm like, okay. They probably liked
him before the draft, coming out of Liberty, mid round quarterback.
They don't have a backup quarterback, so they need somebody.
They need to put a body in there. And if
Jordan Love gets hurt, they're cooked anyway, So who cares?
So you have Malik Willis as the backup. They like
his skill set and it's really a Hasbro move. It's
(24:37):
a Hasbro move. That think of Malik Willis's Neon Green Plato,
and it's an arts and crafts project at this particular
point for Malik Willis. And so the packers are going
to take that Neon Green Plato and they're going to
put him in the fun Factory at lambeau Field with
(24:59):
the world's largest gift shop with all kinds of packer memorabilia,
and they'll try to mold him into a useful player
behind Jordan Love. And then if something actually does work out.
This is the old model they used to do in
Green Bay, where they'd always have when Brett Favre was there,
they'd have backups, and they even just with Ann Rodgers
at the beginning. And you can say all the way through,
(25:19):
actually the way it turned out, where they always had
someone who had perceived value as a backup, and then
if that guy turns out to look good in practice,
they can then trade him, use some skulduggery and get
some more draft picks in return.

This is one big event gets grilled.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
According to a recent report, the Lakers are looking ahead
to the post lebron era and hope to land Luka
Doncik as the next face of the franchise. Ben, could
you see Luca joining the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, there are more donut shops per capita in southern
California than anywhere else, and the pink donut box was
invented in Southern California. I'm at the point now with
the NBA just depends what the scriptwriters want, right, they want,
you know, the Lakers Lobrono the my entire life, They've
always gotten whoever they wanted. So if the Lakers want him,
he'll be a Laker. That's how it always works. Whoever
(26:20):
they want, they get. Except for Chris Paul. There's still
people still bitching about.
Speaker 5 (26:24):

We're all just Chapman moved into fourth all time for
strikeouts by a relief pitcher. The three guys ahead of
him are all in the Hall of Fame. Does Chapman
make the Hall when it's all said and done?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
All right, So here's my problem with Chapman. The eyeball
test does not say Hall of Fame to me, But
the stats do say hall of fam. He has baggage,
which is a problem, but part of the you think
about the great Cubs team that won the World He's
been with the Yankees, never won with the Yankees though
the only time he won was with the Chicago Cubs.
(26:59):
The number say it's a borderline hall of fame resume,
I'll say he doesn't get it.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Next, does Aaron Judge's recent display of power make you
think that Barry Bonds's record of seventy three D one
home runs isn't unobtainable.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
If done clean. I believe it's unattainable if there are
steroids involved. Aaron Judge is gonna hit ninety home runs
in a season. Ninety home runs? But yeah, that was
a steroid record. How did we do he passes? That
is a week put on the bar? Yes, whoo.
