The Way tirebind showb.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
SO I lead this hour to begin the night, The
talk Festivus, You and I together here from the swap
meet of football. Uh super Bowl fifty nine days away
on tap this weekend. So the Eagles and Chiefs have
to play game. But for everyone else, they're getting ready
for next year. It's hurry up, get ready for next

(02:05):
year and the twenty twenty five regular season, which will
kick off sometime in early September. Big moves not surprising,
but big moves coming from La La land. And if
you have not been following, because you actually have a
life and you're not obsessing with all of this, we
have learned that wide receiver Cooper Cup has been informed

(02:29):
by the RAMS his services are no longer needed for
the team that shares Sofi Stadium, that the team will
be seeking to trade him immediately.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
How do we know that?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
We know that because it came from the horse's mouth,
Cooper Cups saying, quote, I don't agree with the decision,
and I always believed it was going to begin and
end in La close quote Cup making a statement on
the social media. What's all that all the kids are

(03:04):
doing it on the social media? So he does not
agree with the RAMS decision. So Cup, the team working
together allegedly they're working together to have him on the
next train out of La La Land heading somewhere else, says.
The effort there to find the right place to continue

(03:29):
competing for championships. So the story goes and he is
highly motivated, and he says healthy. He says, Cooper Cup's healthy.
So let's let you know that as they head into
the next seasons. I got healthy quick. The RAMS eliminated
a couple weeks back. He's already healthy.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Who knew?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
All right, so let us discuss the question. Former super
Ball hero Cooper Cup says that he is not happy.
He does not agree, but the Rams are working to
trade him. Immediately, give me your school of thought on this.
So I have Steve Harvey, bipartisan and car shopping. That

(04:12):
sounded like a different bell. What happened to our bell?
That was not the same bell? Okay, that seemed a
little I don't know, it seems a little off. The
original bell seemed a little offt I don't know. Did
somebody mess with our bell? Did someone press the wrong
bell button? I don't know, wrong? All right? Anyway, my
first thought on this, Cooper Cup is one of the

(04:34):
great overachievers. Right, Let's be real here. Cooper Cup third
round draft pick out of a school that is not
known as the Alabama of the Pacific Northwest and wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful Eastern Washington. It was a third round pick and
at one point, for the twenty twenty one season, Cooper

(04:56):
Cup was the top receiver in the NFL. There was
no one betted this guy, no one. For one year,
Cooper Cup was at the very top of all the
receiver numbers. He dominated the NFL for one season and
he got paid for it, so you don't feel bad.
He got paid ninety plus million dollars in his time
with the Rams. A fun player to watch. However, when

(05:19):
you look at this from thirty thousand feet up in
the sky, right, you look down and the words of
Steve Harvey. We broadcast from one of Steve Harvey's old
studios here, and Steve Harvey had a line years ago
that loyalty has an expiration date. So the Rams were
loyal to Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup was loyal to the Rams.

(05:41):
At some point, the Rams had an epiphany, They had
a come to Jesus moment. They realized that they had
taken the lemon, and they had skoweezed all of the
juice out of the lemon, and they were done with
the lemon. There was no more there there. They could
make like lemon zest out of it, but they didn't
want to do that. They just wanted to, you know,
squeeze all the juice out of it and there you go.

(06:02):
So there was loyalty. They paid him. It's like, it's
like this business and it's like we do well here.
If they can find someone that works cheaper and can
make the company more money, I'll be gone. That's the
way it works. That's how this operates. That's how anyone operates.

(06:22):
So people getting upset. I get an email from Ramster
and you should rip the Rams. I'm like, well, no,
not really. I understand Cooper Cup will go somewhere else
and they'll have a chance to have a second act
in his career. But remember, at the end of this
last regular season for the Rams, Cooper Cup was bad,
bad to the bone, and not a good way. Not

(06:43):
a good way. He was held under two catches in
three of the final five games that he appeared in
for the Rams, and he went over thirty yards one
time over the final five games. That's that's not thirty
million dollars a year. That's not you know, that's not
top notch wide receiver money. And so pookin the Coua

(07:06):
pooo ca, pookin a Coua has zoomed passed him and
he is at the very peak of his superpowers right now,
another unknown pookinnakua who is at the very top of
the rammed depth chart at this particular point. So Cooper
Cup is at a fork in the road. He's the
crossroads here, and what does he do? What does he do? Right?

(07:31):
The rams are saying he is a diminishing asset, that
his great salad days are behind him, and that he
will be nothing special the rest of the way. That's
what they're betting on. So where should Cooper Cup attempt
to relocate? Where should he go? So you immediately try
to eliminate all these NFC teams, say, Well, the Rams

(07:52):
will cover themselves. They'll think, well, he's not that good anymore.
But we just in case he does turn out to
be good, we're gonna send him to the AFC. So
right away, you're like, all right, he says he wanted
to begin and end his career in LA. Well, the
Chargers don't have any receivers. Their receivers blow. How about
the Chargers and stay in Sofi Stadium. The Rams and
Chargers could work out of trade and you can go

(08:13):
play there. If not the Charge Buffalo they don't have
any receivers, so why not the Buffalo Bills, which just
fine until he gets cold in Buffalo and then you
it doesn't matter if you have receivers or not, because
they don't do anything in cold weather. And the Kansas
City Chiefs, who are always looking to add players for
Patrick Mahomes and so that's also a possibility. They're all

(08:35):
all right there at the top and there is money
on the table for Cooper Cup. You'd have to renegotiate
his contract. Now he's not the only, but big day.
If you like players you've heard of in the NFL
who would like a relocation situation, You were all joned
up on Monday because to Cleveland we go, the land

(08:57):
where Miles Garrett announced all those nice things said by
the Cleveland front office. Yeah, I don't care. I went out,
that's it. Yeah, So Miles Garrett announced he has requested
a relocation. He wants a job transfer, he wants to
enter the transfer portal and get out of Cleveland. The

(09:19):
announcement coming just a few days after Andrew Barry gave
Miles Garrett a manny and a petty on live microphones,
licking the toes of Miles Garrett and said the Browns
would not entertain the thought of trading Garrett well. In

(09:40):
a prepared statement Miles Garrett released, Garrett said, as the
dominant pass rusher.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
For the Browns, that his goal was not to go from.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Cleveland to Canton, which is what Andrew Berry the GM said.
It has always been to compete and to win a
Super Bowl. Oh, so he says a goal the Browns,
of course, are nowhere close to. There's some high school
football teams that are closer to winning a Super Bowl
than the Cleveland Browns at three and fourteen and still handcuffed,

(10:16):
handcuff to the creepy quarterback. So what are the odds?
What are the odds that Miles Garrett ends up getting
what he wants at the Browns bend and knee and
end up saying bye bye to Miles Garrett. So I'm
gonna about the Mallard Sportsbook odds on this. The Mallard

(10:37):
Sportsbook odds minus three hundred. Now, if you're not good
at math, minus three hundred indicates a seventy five percent
chance that Miles Garrett is wearing different colored laundry and
a different colored plastic helmet when they kick off to
twenty twenty five NFL season. And how deep here's where

(11:02):
we are. How deep is Miles Garrett willing to go?
We'd like to know, we'd like to And what about
the Browns? Right? Are the Browns locked in? The Browns
were saying, we haven't changed our position now Cleveland. This
is fascinating to me. Cleveland is in such a deep
dark place their football team that there is said to
be bipartisan support from people that hate the Browns and

(11:27):
people that like the Browns, even Brown's loyalists, that Miles
Garrett should be traded. The team such a dumpster fire,
that they should get rid of Miles Garrett and they
have no ill will towards him. And we're in the
early stages of this drama orama as it plays out
as a high stakes, very emotional, very emotional complex situation.

(11:53):
Will they heated emotions? Will they diffuse over time? Is
there enough time for that to happen? Stay tuned, developing
hot dot dot dot Now last word, So let's play
Malord Matchmaker. We're gonna play Malord Matchmaker's fun game. You
can play ifyone, but I'm gonna play first. So Malar Matchmaker,

(12:14):
where should Miles Garrett look to end off this offseason?
We've already told you the Cooper Cup, Chargers, Bills, Chiefs obvious,
but what about Miles Garrett? He wants out where should
he go? So much like the process of elimination we
did earlier in this exercise, We're gonna immediately eliminate the

(12:36):
AFC heavyweight contenders, the Chiefs, the Bills, the Ravens. Even
though Cleveland is several thousand country miles away from getting
to that level, they will likely not play ball with
any of those teams. You eliminate them right off the top. Boom,
there's your haircut. So then you go to the NFC
and say, all right, well, where's a good possibility And

(13:00):
my crystal Ball said car shopping as in a Ford
or a.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Dodge and Ford Field.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You can stay in the Great Lakes region there the
Rust Belt region and go up to the Lions who
play at Ford Field and have no defense and if
they can trade a gaggle of draft picks and other
promissory nodes, they can combine Miles Garrett and Aiden Hutchinson

(13:28):
as a dynamic duo on defense, and why not two
impact players until they get hurt. That'd be pretty good
for a couple of years in the Motor City, little
Motown madness on defensive. You the Lions, why would you
not go out and do that? In the other option,
I mentioned car shopping and of course Ford Field for

(13:48):
the Lions. But how about the Rams? Right, because much
like a Dodge, the marketing slogan of Dodge built Ram tough,
Miles Garrett, the Rams have a blossoming defense that started
to really click the last part of the season. Now
that's no guarantee they're going to be that good next year,

(14:10):
But you had Miles Garrett with all those young players around,
Miles Garrett and one of the top coaches in the NFL,
and Sean McVay, who you know is going to be
in the playoffs every year. Look at the division, the Niners,
their quarterback's been exposed. Now brock Perty the Cardinals are
sending out alligator arms Murray and Seattle. They've got Geno

(14:31):
Smith at this point who stinks. So the Rams have
a great chance of being right back in the playoffs
again next year and with a little defense. You look
around the NFC and nobody thinks Philadelphia is invincible. Detroit
is certainly not. There's some good teams in the NFC,
but there's not like a great team. There's not Kansas
City in the NFC that does not exist.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Looking for plausible deniability, Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Benmather Show. We are in the air everywhere.
You listen and relax as we enjoy the ultimate audio
playground coast, the coast, border, the border in beyond, on

(15:22):
the mast and wondrously powerful microphones of FSR AM monating
live from the basis as we cover all of the bases.
We're broadcasting live the tire rac dot com studios tirerac

fast free shipping, free roadhazard protection and over ten thousand

(15:47):
recommended installers.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Tire ract dot com the way the tire buying show.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
B I know that Screwge a big fan of that
number ten thousand, So I lead this hour. It's not
waste any time. Here we go to the fallout from
the blockbuster transaction heard round the pro bouncy ball world
over the weekend. Luca my name is Luca, or that

(16:18):
guy drinking whiskey called him something else, but Luka Doncik
handed to the Lakers in a mind bending giveaway by
the Mavres, putting the wreck in mav Wreck the Dallas
pro bouncy ball team Anthony Davis.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Street closed Davis.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
And some spare parts and only one draft pick, one
draft pick going to Lakers. So if you've not heard
the latest on this, it continues to percolate the story.
He might maybe you missed it. So we are now
told that the Luca Street closed trade Luka Doncik for
Street Close Davis originally included multiple first round draft picks

(16:59):
and the Lakers' latest draft pick, Dalton Connect that they
were all included in the original transaction. The trade those
said to have gotten whittled down. There are reports indicating
that the Lakers executive rob Skinny Jeans Polenka convinced the

(17:21):
Mavericks to take less, saying to the Maverick says, listen,
I'm taking the risk here Luca. According to the report,
Luca has laid out the implied. Luca's an alcoholic and
has a weight problem. He's addicted to food, and he's
a drunk. That's what the report indicated. So that's, you know,

(17:43):
it's interesting to think about it. Wait a minute, the
Mavericks of the Mavericks trade this guy because he can't
control his liquor and all that. Now, So essentially the
argument is, and this is the argument other people are
making now, is that the Mavericks tried to get out
in front. Their argument is that Luca is like joel

(18:04):
En Beid. He's not that interested in playing. He doesn't
take the game seriously. He likes what being a basketball
players about. But he's not a professional. He's an amateur
when it comes to showing up on time, following the
code of the West, doing what has to be done.
So that's the spin that the Mavericks are putting out
on it. So let us discuss the question. Thumbs up

(18:28):
or thumbs down to the Lakers GM rob skinny jeans
Polinka convincing the Mavericks to take less for Luka donc.
That's the argument. It's being tossed out there that the
Lakers somehow used a Jedi mind trick to convince the
Mavericks to take less. So I'm gonna go thumbs down

(18:52):
on this one. I'm going thumbs down. I've got Honkey Talk, James, Bond,
and Bruski and we will combine all all of these
things together and we are going to make a I
Want to get Away weekend. Because if you're the Dallas Mavericks,
you want to get away. They will be serenaded with

(19:12):
booze for the rest of the season. It is going
we'll get ugly in Big d. But I am going
thumbs down. Answer the question whether or not you believe
that Rob Polinka, Rob Polinka convinced the Mavericks to take
less for Luca. I'm going thumbs down this latest chapter

(19:33):
in this and the NBA is really good at drama.
They're not really good at anything else at this point,
but the drama solid it's on point. So this latest
chapter is a Shakespearean like drama if you will. Around
the legend building of Rob Polinka, who do you think
leaked the story that Rob Polinka somehow convinced the Dallas

(19:54):
Mavericks to take less. You think that was the Mavericks
who leaked that, or do you think that was Rob
Polinka's pr person that leaked that? Hmm, things that make
you go hm, who couldn't have been? Who could have
possibly have been? My god, Rob Polinka pumping the tires
on Rob Polinka to genius levels. Now you really have

(20:16):
to be a sucker to buy that. We're not buying it.
But if you are good for you, you're a loser.
My god, Polinka is the ultimate trust fun baby in
terms of an executive. He got in good with Genie
Buss and now he's a made man with the Lakers.
He had Luca dropped into his lap at a silent auction.

(20:38):
He wasn't even really an auction. It was like, just
submit an offer, no offers are rejected. Just submit an
offer and you're the only bidder in an auction. Would
mean there's other bidders, but you're the only one that bid.
It was a name your price situation. Now, of course

(20:58):
he wants you to believe that he's some kind of
basketball savant, that he pulled a fast one on Nico Harrison,
and it just makes me want to puke in my mouth.
The whole situation like this is somehow And then you
look at the reporting. He's like, well, here's why Dallas
traded him, And was that made up? Or are the

(21:22):
Mavericks letting people know. I was like, hey, listen, this
guy's a drunk and he's a fat ass and that's
why we trade him. Is that just being made up
by the media or is that somebody for the Mavericks
planning that seed in the media. But the Lambeau leap
of faith of you, I'll call it the Lambeau leap
of faith because it does remind me. Been doing this
for a minute, you might remember the cautionary tale of

(21:46):
sports gone Past. Jerry Glanville, old NFL coach. His most
famous line, Jerry Glandville was the NFL stands for not
for long when you make calls like that. But Glanville
famously traded away Brett farr If he was coaching the
Atlanta Falcons. Hall of Famer Brett Farv traded him to
Green Bay and then years later took a victory lap

(22:08):
dur a Glanville. He said, the reason that the Falcons
traded Brett Farv to Green Bay was because he could
not get far of sober. He was a drunk in Atlanta.
He had substance abuse issues, so they traded him Landville.
He pat himself on the back. I remember this about
fifteen years ago. Glanville had an interview and he patted

(22:28):
himself on the back. He said, listen, we traded him
to a place where the only thing to do at
nine o'clock is to go to Chili Joe's and you
can either get it with onions or without onions, and
that's it, and those are your only options. And so
but this is the antithesis of that. This is not

(22:48):
This is not that. I mean, if this reporting is
true and the Mavericks tried to sober up Luca and
he's got a drinking problem, but they sent Luca to
a city where the honky tonk never closes. They have
the bars, but then after that they have the after
parties in the Hollywood Hills that do not stop. They

(23:12):
do not stop. So there's some funny business going on
with this story. Now, Page two. What is your favorite
conspiracy theory that has made the rounds with the lucidotic trade.
And I'll go first here and if you've not been
following along, there are many of them. I'll give you

(23:32):
the thumbnail recap of some of my favorites. The Adelson
group that owns the Mavericks is trying to upset the
fan base the customers so much that they eventually relocate
the team to Las Vegas so they can they own
a lot of property. They're big shots in Vegas because

(23:52):
of gambling, so they want the Mavericks to be the
NBA team that goes. In order to do that, they
have to destroy the franchise and put little pieces of
asbestos all over the franchise, and then eventually they'll be
able to get rid of that and move it to Vegas.
So that's out there. There's the Adams Silver directed this

(24:14):
to happen because the NBA is such a crappy product.
Nobody cares about Oklahoma City and Cleveland, and it's killing
the product that the teams that are the top teams
are Cleveland and Okay. See, it's just bad for business.
So the Lakers are pretty boring, So why don't you
shake it up and we'll make sure Luca goes to
La don't even offer him to any other team because

(24:37):
he might have ended up in Oklahoma City and that
would have been bad. So just that's it. So it
was all manipulated by the League office, the association. Decent
conspiracy theory. But my favorite, my new favorite today ask
me tomorrow. I have a new favorite. But my new
favorite Lukeka, my name is Luca. My new favorite conspiracy

(24:59):
here is that the Mavericks GM Nico Harrison is James
Bond double O seven James Bond. What do I mean
by that he's a secret double agent provocateur, That Nico
Harrison is pretending to be the executive running the Dallas Mavericks,

(25:21):
trying to win in Dallas, but he is working as
a James Bond double agent. You see, you can take
the boy out of Nike, but you can't take the
Nike out of the boy. And for nineteen years working
his way up, Nico Harrison was a Nike executive. And

(25:41):
if you look at Luka doncik a proud the Nike guy.
If you look at Luca, they need to sell shoes.
You're gonna sell more shoes. With the Mavericks, You're gonna
sell more shoes. With the Lakers, these shoe magnets they directed.
The conspiracy is that Nico Harrison was directed by Nike

(26:03):
to trade Luca, but only to Los Angeles. That's it,
that's all. And he did it. And so when he
gets fired by the Mavericks for doing this, he will
just go back to Nike and he doesn't care because
they'll pay him a couple million a year and he'll
work for Nike. Decent conspiracy, all right, now, final point

(26:26):
from the files of the Bazaar. The Files of the
Bazaar on the Ben Malor show, you taught Jazz president
and former nemesis of the Lakers, a Celtic legend, Danny
Inge is do you see this? So if you saw it,
you're laughing right now because you know where I'm going.
So the story is that Danny Ainge had no idea,

(26:50):
he was totally in the dark that he was helping
to facilitate Luka Doncik going to Los Angeles. That remember,
the only way this works is if the Jazz are
the stool pigeons and they facilitate the trade because they
needed that third wheel. They needed that third wheel to

(27:13):
make this happen. And the Utah basketball team did it.
The boys in Salt Lakes said, yeah, we'll help you out. Sure,
why not? So the reporting is that Danny Ainge had
had no idea. He's essentially claiming ignorance until about thirty
minutes before the trade was finalized, that he was helping
to make this happen. So how does Danny Inge look

(27:36):
with this over the top claim from people around the
jazz that he was ignorant of what he was doing
and helping to be an accomplice to the giveaway of
Luka Dancik from Dallas to Lakers. So Danny, I'll tell you,
he looks. He looks like he's having a bruski. He's

(27:57):
at a local watering hole. The watering hole is named
the Village Idiot, and he's the mascot of the watering hole. Like,
come on, I understand you're all trying to get out
of this. It looks bad for the jazz, right the jazz.
Lucas in his mid twenties. So assuming he's not actually
an alcoholic and he needs to go to a fat farm,

(28:18):
that he's not that bad, the Lakers will be okay
with Luca for a few years. And the Utah Jazz,
who are just you know, treading waters, playing tiddley winks
as they waste time. I don't know what they're doing.
I have no idea what they're doing. The Utah Jaz
they just collecting draft picks for a rainy day. Just
collecting a lot of draft picks is what they're doing.

(28:38):
It's ridiculous. But Danny Anche does look like he's He's
the mascot of the watering hole known as the Village
Idiot pub Man. And there's a lot of people who
love to tell you how smart they are most of
the time and are very bragged nocious about what they
know and high basketball IQ. Those people are claiming ignorance

(29:01):
when it comes to this getting the getting the Hey,
I'm not my fault. I didn't know, I had no idea.
What are you talking about? It's getting sketchier and sketchier
by the minute, sketchier and sketchier by the minute.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
we go, Here we go, Mallard, how about that to
the third degree? This is one big event.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Gets grilled Kubbler.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
It was announced over the weekend that Chip Kelly will
return to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the
Las Vegas Raiders. Ben, do you think will will eventually
see Chip Kelly back in a head coaching position.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
No, because he does not want to be a head
coach in college unless it's at one of the diamond
schools in the Big Ten or the SEC. He doesn't
want to go to a place like UCLA where they
don't care about football and all that. And the other
problem is Chip is too old. He's sixty one. He's
a football lifer. You look at where he has coached
around the United States. He started at Columbia in nineteen ninety.

(30:03):
He's been to New Hampshire, John Hopkins, Oregon, the Eagles,
the forty nine Ers, UCLA, Ohio State. Now he's with
the Raiders. The guys moves around every couple of years.
He's a football vagabond. But his days as a head
coach or over done. He will not be other than
an interim coach. He's not gonna be a head coach again.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Next, TMS caught up with Rams legend Isaac Bruce, who
told him that he is sure that Tory Holt will
be getting a call to join him in the Hall
of Fame this week, Ben, do you think Holt makes
the cut?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
He's borderline. I was not a fan of the Saint
Louis Rams. I was a fan of the La Rams.
I still am, but the Tory Holt borderline. He was
only an All Pro once, although he did win the
Super Bowl. He did end up on an All Decade team,
which is pretty cool. However, you can certainly tell the
story of the NFL without mentioning Tory Holt's name. He
was good. He was part of that greatest show on turf,

(30:52):
But that greatest show on Turf should have been much
better for a longer period of time than they were.
They were like one hit wonders there.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Next, former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs spoke about the
Super Bowl and said, well, it would be cool to
see Kansasity achieve a three peat. That the Tom Brady
dynasty is still better? Is he right, man?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, of course he's gonna say that because he played
against the Tom Brady dynasty.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
