We'll help you get there.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
An unmatched selection, fast free shipping, Free road has a
protection over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Tire i rac dot com The way tire bond should be.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I know yaphemi in Chicago, big fan, big fan of
the number ten thousand. So our lead this hour is
from the NFL. These signings in the NFL. Now, there
was not any big announcement that came down the pike
on the last twenty four hours, though, but there was
a welcome back, we love you situation.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You know what I'm talking about, right? Maybe not?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Maybe you don't know what I'm talking So we'll start
in Cincinnati because we got good audio.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
And when you have good audio, you play the good audio.
It's a rule.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You got to play the good audio. So a couple
of days after they agreed to break the bank and
dust off the uh, the wall, and I spent money
a lot. I know Burrow got signed, but Cincinnati has
not generally spent that much money. And so the Bengals
held a news conference to welcome back into the fold
(02:28):
a couple of their stars.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Did you see this? You did not? Maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So T Higgins, T Higgins and Jamar Chase were given
a heroes welcome, kind of kind of a heroes welcome. U.
And the reason I'm starting with this is because we
have really good audio. So normally the way this works,
I think you paid attention. You know what I'm about
to say. So when you sign someone to a massive
(02:57):
amount of money, the general decor is you talk about
how much you love the fans, you love the city,
You can't believe you get to wear the uniform some more,
and you're so happy, You're so so pleased. It's just
bliss that you get to continue to make an ungodly
amount of money to play for the team. So that's
(03:18):
usually how it goes, and so that's just the way
things are operated. Well, didn't quite go that way for
Jamar Chase. Along with Tea and the Teagans didn't say anything.
This is to nothing I heard, But Jamar Chase gave
what we call the money quote as he attempted to
explain why he stayed in Cincinnati. What was the draw
(03:40):
to keep him in Cincinnati. Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Take you listen for me, I like Cincinnati because it
gives me the opportunity to come here and focus. You know,
I'm not distracted out here. It's not too much too
many things to get me, you know, off pace out here,
you know, and it's strictly what I'm focused on. That's
really tone vision for me to play football. I mean,
at the end of the day, of food's not the best.
We could work on that, but.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'm not used to the food yet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
How many more years do you have to be in
a place before you get used to the food?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I mean, you've been there for several years. Now, what
are we doing? All right?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So let us discuss the question how do you decade
what you just heard there? The wide receiver Jamar Chase
his comments about living in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Past code, west point and backseat, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make some tasty treats, is what We're going to make,
something that apparently they don't have in Cincinnati. So my
first thought is Jamar Chase working blue right, You're not
supposed to go what are you doing? I love that
(04:46):
he did. It's great. He's like, you know, hey, listen,
I'm here. I got paid a lot of money. Ah,
nothing to do. The town blows. It's a terrible place.
But hey, I guess he's not getting the key to
the s probably not going to get the key to
the city, and definitely not in the Chamber of Commerce.
The Welcoming Committee any of that. So, just to recap again,
(05:09):
Cincinnati is a boring place and the food sucks.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's it, right.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
However, he does like, apparently playing with Joe Burrow. He
enjoys playing with Joe Burrow, and the fact that the
Bengals handed handed him the pass code to the vault
over there at Fort Knox doesn't hurt either. It's definitely chasing.
He's chasing the money. You take the good with the bad.
(05:38):
And the fact that you can't get a nice meal
apparently in Cincinnati, Okay, that's fine, but you can probably
hire your own chef. I would think you can hire
your own chef and make whatever you want and all
that stuff. And so he went for the money. And
this happens quite a bit. That's just just amusing the
way that he actually was honest about it. He doesn't
(05:59):
really want to play there, like the living there, but
it just happened to give him enough money. And so
sometimes in life you got to take chicken. I can't
say what I want, so chicken feathers and turn that
into chicken salad. Occasionally you have to do that. Now
I do have boots on the ground, We have a
lot of listeners very very popular for an overnight show
in Cincinnati. And I know over the years, for example,
(06:20):
the number one curmudgeon on this show, Justin and Cincinnati,
has often said how disgusting Skyline Chili is. Now, I've
never had Skyline Chili, so I can't say firsthand. However,
I did see a couple of cans of it. The
Great Andy Furman sent some cans of Skyline Chili to
Eddie when Eddie worked here, and I remember seeing the
(06:42):
cans and they just looked it didn't look that appetizing.
But it's a can. I mean, what looks really good
in the can? Not a lot looks good in the can.
And then I have heard good things about the ice cream.
They're supposed to have a really good ice cream place.
But it's really hard to f up ice cream, right,
I mean, you really really have to go out of
your way to scroll up ice cream. Can get good
ice cream just about anywhere, can't you. They get that
Greater's ice cream in Cincinnati. It is supposed to be
(07:02):
pretty good. And there's some rib place I know the
baseball people love going to. There's a there's Montgomery in
or something like that. I suppose he has great ribs
and all. But hey, listen, good luck, not the culinary capital,
not the culony capital of America. But when you're making
a one hundred million guaranteed or one hundred and fifty
(07:24):
or whatever it is guaranteed, you can figure it out.
You can figure it out. And I don't think you
need to worry about Jamar. Chase can't eat a lot anyways,
a professional athlete, So what's he gonna do here? And
my good Now, what he should do actually is follow
the models set by Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes grew up
in Texas, right, we know the story, and he went
(07:45):
to Kansas City and he's there forever and as long
as the Chiefs will have him, and he wants to
be there and everything will be great.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
But he missed what a burger?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Right, So he went and purchased a bunch of water
burgers and brought them. They didn't exist in that part
of Missouri, and he brought he brought them in. In fact,
when I was in Kansas City last November, I was
driving around, I saw like a couple of waterburgers. So
that's the Mahomes effect right there. So I don't know
what Jamar Chase likes from New Orleans. I don't know
(08:14):
if there's some Jambalaya plays or something that he's dying again,
just go make your own, open it up and then
see if anyone buys it. So the way to do
it now, turning the page on that, but not turning
the page too far because we're gonna stay where we were.
So Jamar Chase and t Higgins both got the bag.
(08:34):
There were three players that were supposed to get the bag.
Now who's missing here, Let's see Eeny Meani Miney Mo
pickup player that didn't get the bag. So the Bengals
are still in a poker game. We were told a
high stakes game of poker, and it's with defensive end
Trey Hendrickson. And this guy put up good numbers on
(08:55):
a dog food defense in Cincinnati this past season. And
then it would seem to be pretty clear that Trey
Hendrickson is not getting the bag, at least not the
bag that has the Ohio Cincinnati Bengals logo on it.
So the chatter is that Cincinnati is trying to trade
(09:15):
Trey Hendrichican Hendrickson, as shocking as that is, they'd like
to get a first round draft pick in a deal,
and there's a hold up because of that because Hendrickson
wants to get paid a lot of money, and generally,
if you pay a guy a lot of money, you
don't trade a first round draft pick for the player.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So do you believe it is fair or foul?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Do you believe it is fair or foul for the
Bengals to be demanding a first round draft pick for
Trey Hendrickson?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Fair foul?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
So we want to replay assist on this, and it
is is absolutely fair.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It is fair to ask for that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, you can ask for a first round of course,
for the moon and you might get some stars thrown
in and all that. Now, getting it is the issue here.
It's kind of like the way the Bengals operate. And
I know we're doing way too much Bengal talk, but
just beer with me, because Trey Hendrickson is a good
player and the teams that we're trying to trade for
him and he can be the final missing block on
(10:19):
their defense allegedly. But the Bengals are like the mascot
over at West Point, the Mule. They're very stubborn like
a mule, and Hendrickson was a Sack merchant On an
absolute terrible defense last season, and so that's positive, right,
all pro defensive type player. Trey Hendrickson, However, he's thirty
(10:40):
years old, and while that's not old, the comps on
players around that age generally there is a steep drop
off when they get to around that age at his position,
which is a problem. Now my problem, that's an analytical problem.
So there are exceptions to the rules. The comps said
that Derek Henry would be bad in Baltimore, he wasn't.
(11:03):
Not so many bad things about Sequon Barkley in Philadelphia.
But the Dereck Henry won. He was not supposed to
be good based on the comps, and he was fine.
And not that the Ravens did anything more than they
ever do, which is they have a great regular season
and then at some point they go belly up in
the playoffs before they get to the Super Bowl. Just
standard Raven football. That's what they do all right. Now,
last thing here, so we head out to Jersey. We
(11:26):
go to Jersey. A anonymous I love this anonymous NFL coach
saying that the new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, who is
QB one for Gang Green, is the quote best athlete
on the field every time he plays. Are you impressed
(11:49):
with that comment? Are you impressed that an NFL coach
who did not give their name said that Justin Fields
is the best athlete on the field every time. Will
preface this by saying, as you know, the term best,
the legal definition of the term best means as good
as all the rest. So therefore he is as good
as every other athlete on the field according to that
that said. Obviously that's not what was meant by that comment.
(12:12):
So I'm shaking my head. No, I'm not impressed, not
even a little bit.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm not. Athleticism, When you look at the things you
need from.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
A quarterback, athleticism is not is not very high up right,
It doesn't hurt. I'm not saying it's bad, but it
takes a back seat to the other things which are
much more important, right, much more important, like accuracy, good decisions.
Those things problematic, They are the problematic for Justin Fields.
(12:45):
Those negative plays, the interceptions, the incompletions, the sacks, the fumbles.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All of that stuff is just terrible, and that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two ames eleven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So we settle into our number two in our lead
from Pro Bouncy Ball, I am not going to give
you Clipper propaganda.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I will not do that.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I will just tell you the Clippers beat supposedly the
best team in the NBA, the top team there, the Cadavers,
and dominated the second half. But our lead is from
the losing locker room, which is not Cleveland's locker room.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
No, no, no, because they're good.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
They're not gonna win the championship, but they got a
good team during the regular season. The story here is
in South Florida, where the heat is definitely off, but
yet the heat is on at the same time. So
it has been a wicked bad season for the pro
bouncy ball team that lives and brees and enjoys the
tropical weather of South Florida. There is a dark cloud,
(13:47):
an ominous dark cloud, hovering over the franchise, aah absolute
dreadful stretch before Jimmy Butler was traded, and it's gotten
even worse. This sinkhole has opened up to Dante's inferno.
Ever since Jimmy Butler was traded to Golden State. In fact,
(14:08):
the eight straight losses, how bad has it gotten? Eight
straight losses if you're not paying attention. But even that
does not encompass what is really going on in Miami
because a number of people are convinced they know why
the Miami Heat are manure. And the reason the Miami
(14:31):
Heat and manure is because of one person, one personal
you know who that is ding Ding ding Ding, that's right,
Ryles NBA legend. In fact, some people putting their name
on it. Former NBA All Star. Granted it was a
fluke season. But Jeff Tigue, remember Jeff Tigue played for
the Atlanta Hawks, was on the Celtics for a while,
(14:54):
bounced around journeyman guard, but he didn't make an All
Star team win tip. So Jeff Tig's got some podcast,
because everyone's got a podcast, no one's listened to him.
Jeff Tigue has had an appearance on a podjeast.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I don't even know what podcast it was. I couldn't
name it. There's so many of them.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So anyway, Jeff Tigue said that the Heat have to
get rid of pat Riley.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
They have to get rid of pat Riley.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Was the quote of course this got blown up and
it's tossed into the echo chambers like, Oh, this guy
actually played in the NBA, so he's got some more
credibility in somebody there some other Schmeddrick who didn't play
in the NBA. So let us discuss the question, are
you surprised at all of the heat that is on
pat Riley? And now an NBA former NBA player calling
(15:40):
for the Miami Heat to dump pat Riley. So I've
got Batman, Sorcerer's workshop, and skunk and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a delicious my tie which pat Riley can have
sitting on the beat each and maybe kind of sit
(16:02):
in that hammock and just kind of look at the
palm trees and look at the jet skis out there
in the water and just contemplate everything. So my first thought,
num burr, let's try that again, number one more time.
Number work out the kinks theirs and now we got
(16:23):
we got it ready to go. So we would be surprised.
Answer the question, are we are we surprised that Rid's
getting heated? No, we would actually be surprised if pat
Riley were to be let go unless Riley wakes up
and says, I just can't do it anymore. I've lost
my way. It's not going to be a case where
ownership says we gotta get rid of Riley. We're gonna
(16:45):
we're gonna get rid of him when he sucks, and
that's not gonna happen. I mean, uh, the fact that
they're serving up poop sandwich is three or four nights
a week in Miami is surprising. And Riley, this is
what happens. Riley is considered because of his age and
he's been around forever that he's an aging relic of
the NBA. He coached the Showtime Lakers, for God's sakes
(17:07):
in the nineteen eighties, and it's been a minute, you know,
it's been a minute since then. And when you've been
around that long and you're not given the benefit of
the doubt, it's is just the rule of thumb. You're
not giving the benefit of the doubt. The first sign
of leakage and there is a dog pile, an absolute dogpile,
(17:27):
and you're not It's not acceptable to have a stinker.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's not acceptable for you to have a stinker when
you're pat right, he's a gray beard and that's the
way it goes. And pat Riley literally and figuratively made
the Miami Heat a relevant franchise when he left.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
New York and eventually made his way to Miami. The
Heat were.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
A laughing stock prior to Riley arriving. And that was
a long time ago. And there have been many coaches
that have come through there, including Riley himself who coached
that team.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
But things have been declining.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
There's no way to spin it any other way.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
This season. It's just terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And this is a bad vibration from the moment they
showed up there.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
And so you're gonna get all the Hey, you're an
old fogie and you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
But it's one of those things when you look at
what pat Riley's accomplished in Miami and they're not having
a good year at all, they blow Both those things
are true, right, So Riley's been a legend.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
The team's no good right now.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But is this a long term situation or is this
a short term situation? And it blurs the lines between
fact and fiction?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is it locked in stone? Is it written in stone,
that this is the way the heater going to be
for the foreseeable future. I always thought like Miami is
one of those places you're just one off season move away,
because you can get almost anybody you want, because almost
everybody wants to live in Miami if you're playing in
the NBA.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
So you don't really have to worry. It's not like
you're sitting.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There in Indianapolis or Milwaukee, where guys are not dying
to go play there, no matter how much money you
throw at them.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They just don't want to go there. But Riley is
the epitome of the quote from.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The Dark Knight, the Batman movie there where you either
die a hero or if you live long enough, you
become a villain. So for some he's become a villain.
See what the heat doing the off season, There'll be
the usual round of gossip that who's.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Likely to be traded? Big name players that will be moved.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
This subject, well, anything's an option with If the Dallas
Mavericks didn't even trade Luca, they just gave him away.
And it's conceivable that the Milwaukee box or somebody said,
oh I just give you Giannis. You know we want
you to have Giannis here, you go knock yourself out.
You never underestimate that in that business. If the Dallas Mavericks,
just to I had to give away their top franchise
player for a bag of beans, then.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Why couldn't that happen again? Right now?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Page two to the Bay Area where Steph Curry getting
called out by something they didn't play in the game
on Tuesday night. That was a game that the team
from Northern California won, the Warriors without Stephan Curry in
the lineup. He did not play, and the Warriors went
(20:27):
out and beat the Bucks on Tuesday. How embarrassing is
that for Damian Lillard and the aforementioned Giannis a Denta
Cuombo and so the Dubs they won that game. Congratulations
on that. But that's not the story. So there's conflicting
reports here on Steph Curry. Now what are the conflicting reports?
He had Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who had said
recently that his star guard was quote exhausted exhaustion for
(20:54):
Steph Curry. Now, Steph Curry denied that accusation from his coach.
So you've got to he said, he said, situation, you
got Steve Kerr saying, oh man, he's he's tired Steph Curry,
and then you've got Curry said, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
People just trying to figure out what's wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I didn't play well the other night against Denver, an
embarrassing loss.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
For the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So to answer that, he said, he said, situation the
arrow on this one on who we believe.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Is Steph Curry.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I pat We talked about pat Riley and what he
did in Miami, and well, pat Riley spent a lot
of time not protecting Jimmy Butler, right, there were stories
leaked about Jimmy Butler. To me, well, Steve curR is
doing the opposite of what pat Riley did because he
is protecting Steph Curry. He is circling the wagons around
(21:50):
Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr is in the sorcerer's workshop
cooking up a spell. It's got like dungeons and dragons.
He's he's got a ring of protection around Steph Curry.
But it is beyond a reasonable doubt that Steph Curry
is at the point in his career where this becomes
the new normal. That even though the coach is running
(22:14):
the spin cycle, for Steph Curry. Curry is thirty seven.
The common denominator on athletes when they get to their
late thirty mid to late thirties is extreme peaks and valleys,
your big nights where you look like you used to look, and.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Then you have nights where you're terrible, and you have.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Games where you score six or eight or ten points
and you're barely there.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
If you want to see what that's like, look at Paul.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
George by George in Philadelphia, a pretty similar situation right now.
Final point, we heading out of Manhattan. A Mallor Show
follow up. A Malor Show follow up to the barf
heard round the basketball world. Comedian Tracy who rode the
(23:02):
vomit comment one of the great barfs I've ever seen
in my life. There's photographic evidence to show you exactly
what happened. So Tracy Morgan now has said that food
poisoning led to his ride in the first class seat
on the vomit comet during the Knickerbockers game the other
(23:23):
night with the Miami Heat. So do you believe that
was the only thing going on there? So, after minutes
long Mallard deliberation, No, I think what we're getting here
from Tracy Morgan is a piecemeal explanation. It's a piecemeal
explanation or go. It's part of the story, but it's
(23:48):
not the Ulstar. It is more likely than not that
yet Tracy Morgan ate something that incohoots with something else
set off the nuclear bomb. You know how you combine
certain foods together and you have issues. Now, I'm not
sure what.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
He was eating. We don't know. I'm not there with him.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
But as far as I know, there were no mass
reports of food poisoning at the next game, so it's
conceivable that he ate maybe before the game, but he
was spotted eating at the next game, sitting there in
the front with all the other celebrities, and it was
Saint Patrick's day. And there's people say, well, he doesn't drink,
and maybe he doesn't drink.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I might not be drinking. But more I've had food poisoning.
I've had it multiple times in my life. I've never
once needed a wheelchair when I had food poisoning.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I have it. Uh, there was a listener lanced.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The bus driver from San Francisco came down here and
brought some food and got me very sick, but I
made it with my dysentery. I made it to the
bathroom and I never puked where my no oh started bleeding.
Like that's like next level. Yeah, But again, there was
(25:06):
no other reports of anyone having food poisoning from the
food at Madison Square.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Guard didn't. Tracy Morgan sue.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Walmart years ago, and I think he won some money.
I remember that we talked about that story. I vaguely
remember that story. But this truly was the skunk at
the garden party, the vomit all over the court there
and at least now, I guess Tracy Morgan. The positive
is he can now do an infomercial for the barf
O Mattic. He's now qualified to do the infomercial for
(25:34):
the barf O Mattic.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
While many college football coaches are looking to end spring games,
Deon Sanders wants them to be more like NFL preseason games.
He wants to play against an actual opponent, and Ben,
could you see college football transitioning into that?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Well? I love the Dions thinking outside the box. I
think it's great.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And why not. Everyone's so paranoid in college football. They're like, oh,
we're gonna lose everyone. Deon's the opposite of that. Dion's like, no,
I want to put this game on TV. I want
to play another team. Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
And it's great.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
He's not afraid and a lot of these other coaches
are afraid of losing players to the portal. And I
love the fact that Dion Sanders wants to make this
a bigger spectacle. He's a showman. He's into the you know,
the show business element of it. And if it does
happen to Colorado, obviously, if it goes okay and they
(26:42):
get decent ratings and it seems like there's some buzz
about it, Yes, but Dion and Colorado they're the guinea
pig in this all right.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Next, Anthony Davis has been given a G League assignment
as he prepares to return from injury.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Congratulations, Ben, do you think.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Davis and the MAVs will be able to hold off
the other three teams? Still in the hunt for a
playing spot.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
No, because Anthony Davis will come back and he's going
to go to the vending machine at the G League
locker room. He's going to buy a butterfinger. He's going
to eat the butterfinger. He's going to choke on the
butterfinger and then need medical attention and miss another month
of the season. So No, the fact that he's coming
back doesn't mean anything. Because he comes back, he gets hurt.
(27:22):
That's what he does. That's a super power. The guy
gets hurt all the time. Now, the Mavericks, I don't buy.
There's so much negativity around that team and the players
that complain about the fire Nico chance and all that.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
It would be stunny. I don't see that in the
cards next.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Last season, the Milwaukee Brewers defined the odds and won
ninety three games to take the NL Central Crown for
a second year in a row. They'll have to define
expectations again as the Cubs are favored to win the division. Ben,
do you think the brew CREUW can out play odds
makers expectations? Well?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Right now, the Chicago Cubs, first of all, are on
pace till there's one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Who I don't know if you saw the game yesterday, but.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The Cubs offense totally tile against Dodger pitching. In fact,
they get early, won nothing lead, but then they did
nothing after that. Now, let the Brewers have guys you've
never heard of. They remind me of the midwestern Tampa
Bay Race. There's guys you've never heard of it. They're
usually pretty productive. So I'm going yeah for the brew crew.
I'm going yeah for the brew crew.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Why not? What the app? The other the other teams
in that division stink? So I'll go, yes, how do
we do he passes? That is a win?
