This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The fitting of the herd well come in not beginning
for us, So another week of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere making a connection as
we come out of the shadows. Actually we broadcasts in
(00:54):
the shadows. We're hanging out coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the mast and su zestfully powerful
microphones of fsre am moinating live from the tire the

Perrito very excited about the the number ten thousand, fired
up for the number ten thousands. Our lead this hour
as play the hits. Play the hits. One of the
bosses around here like to say back in the day,
(01:39):
play the hits. Don't bury the lead, my man Art,
We're not gonna bury the lead. So we'll start with
the madness of March. We have made it through the
spectacle that is the first weekend, really the weekend of engagement,
and it is one of the few events that we
have that the excitement goes down. It starts at the
(01:59):
krish and then goes the other direction. But we're down
to the Sweet sixteen now and a rather uneventful, uneventful
opening weekend, and we did have a couple of dramatic,
somewhat dramatic Maryland game buzzer beater there to knock down
and knock out Colorado State. It would be the moment
(02:20):
of the weekend, the game that a couple of games
that got my attention over the weekend. I went down
in Flames with Rick Patino and Saint John's he lasted. Well,
there's a joke there about how long Saint John's lasted,
But I think you know the joke, and I don't
need to go down to that level to make the
joke about how long Saint John's lasted, and you don't
(02:41):
really care about my bracket. You don't worry about your bracket,
so it's not really that important. But on Sunday, the
game that I circled that I was I kind of
want to watch this more than the other games was
Yukon and the Florida Gators. I was like, all right, again,
we got something there. Yukon code famously went out and
(03:03):
had a little nice dinner, played foot seat with the
Lakers and then said screw you. I'm saying right where
I am, you losers, and I love that. I thought
that was great. He stuck it to the Lakers and
talked about Dan Hurley, the coach at Connecticut, so Yukon
trying for a three peat, that the back to back
champions coming in to play on Sunday, and a game
(03:23):
that came down close. Game came down to the bitter
and a nail bier. It was a nail bier, but
in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The
Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of
the bracket there. They win seventy seven, seventy they said
the little we do not have the number one. Lorrain
is busy, she was busy talking. So there we go.
(03:46):
Now we have the number one. The number one was down.
Oh my god. All right, so that means for Connecticut
turn at the last, the parties over. They're done, the
number eight seed out as they have been exterminated from
the NCAA tournament. Now, what happened after the game is
(04:09):
to me, the more interesting part of the story, the
better story is in the losing locker room. And so
there was a viral malmey that took place after the
game out of he saw it. Not maybe you didn't
see it, but Dan Hurley was caught on candid camera
as he was stomping off the court there and he
had a profane message to the team that was going
(04:31):
to follow Yukon and Florida on the court there in Raleigh,
as a grainy cell phone footage captured Dan Hurley seemingly
admonishing the referees, putting the finger of blame on the
officials as he entered the bowels of the arena there
(04:54):
in North Carolina. As he went viral, he said, I
hope they don't blank you like they blanked us. I
think you can figure out what the blank is there.
I hope they don't do that to you Baylor, And
what turns out, apparently they did because Baylor was pulverized
(05:15):
by Duke in their game. So the story here is
Dan Hurley and he's the headliner there for Connecticut basketball.
He has been called out by someone say internet trolls.
Other people say they're supporting truth, justice and sportsmanship way,
but either way, people were upset saying that the head
(05:36):
coach there of Yukon, it was unbecoming of Dan Hurley
what he did. He acted like a toddler that had
a conniption fit. So let us discuss the question did
Dan Hurley embarrass himself and Yukon for being a sore
loser as he walked off the court. So I've got
Bruski medicine, cabinet and guianty and we will combine all
(06:02):
of these things together and we are going to make
a to Ducan is what We're going to make a
nice to Ducin to make the agony go away. Enjoy
your to Duck, and so a to answer the question,
does Dan Hurley to embarrass himself for being a sort
loser I'm shaking my head. No, I don't have that.
(06:24):
I didn't write that on my note card. I did
not write that on my note card. And to me,
there's nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't see anything there.
He calmed down and gave some poetic quotes to the
assembled media later on. But the raw emotion of ath
lotic competitions Hurley's walking off the court here, now, I
(06:44):
wish my take was diff It'd be better talk radio
for oh Man. Dan Hurley's a douche canoe, and man,
what a loser. I don't feel that way. I know
there's a natural reaction. He's not a gracious loser. Did
anyone think Dan Hurley was anything but an angry loser
when his team loses? Like? Is this some kind of
revelation from basketball nation? Seriously? And I'm okay with it.
(07:10):
I'm okay with why last I checked, this is not
a Saturday morning at the YMCA teaching little children about
how to play basketball and sportsmanship. Dan Hurley all right,
for better or worse. His favorite ruski is Modello. He's
got that fighting spirit and I like that. I like
(07:30):
that passion to passion play, and I think it's good
as newt Rockney and others have been credited with saying,
when it comes to wins and losses, wins and losses,
you show me a good loser, and I will show
you a loser. And so Hurley's not a good loser.
We know that. And let's be real. He's a professional coach.
(07:51):
Dan Hurley is a professional coach. He's making eight million
dollars a year, over eight million dollars a year to
coach in a sleepy college town in Connecticut. And this
is the test. The NCAA tournament is the test. No
one watches college basketball other than the tarnetentles. You're a
degenerate gambler. You're not watching college basketball other than March madness.
(08:13):
So this is the only time that matters. And he
felt that his team was aggrieved by the referees and
he was upset by it, and that was his reaction.
But we know, we know about Dan. The guy is
a convicted whack adoodle. He is a whack adoodle. A
lot of these coaches are whack of doodles. Well, the
players are whackadoodles, all right. This is not a natural thing.
(08:36):
That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley.
The players are making money, they're professionals, anil deals. It's
professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat
ass student. It was never student athlete. They're always getting
money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front. Well,
(08:57):
Dan Hurley, none of that story. A couple of weeks ago,
we talked about it a little bit on the air,
but they did a deep dive on what makes Dan
Hurley tick. And you know, he burns sage to ward
off bad jujuu, and he sprints his holy water on
the court. He's got bags of garlic bulbs he walks
around with to keep evil spirits away. He's going for it.
(09:21):
He's doing all that. He's got all that stuff in
his repertoire, and so that's who he is. He eats
the same lucky blue m and ms before every game,
like he's got this routine. He only eats the color
blue unless the other team has the opponent has the
color blue, and then he's got to switch it up
and eat like a red or a green, depending on
what color they have. So snapping like Dan Hurley did,
(09:45):
on brand, it's on brand. We're fine with we're good,
all right now, turning the page. So we also had
a number of complaints over the weekend. Michigan State, which
has advanced coach Tom Good Old Tom is He's one
of the old old codgers, still hanging out. So Tom
is Oh. And then UCLA's mccron was eliminated over the weekend.
(10:08):
But both coaches is Oh and mc cronin were grumbling.
They got that grumbling tummy over the weekend. They were
complaining about what what were they complaining about? Oh, my god,
we've got to play those late games, my god, so late. Yeah,
they were complaining about the late start times in the
NCAA tournament. And the question do you have any empathy
(10:33):
for Tomo at Michigan State and Mick cronin at UCLA,
both of them giving the bad body language and the
grumbling about the start times for their teams, and UCLA
has been eliminated Michigan State plays on so on this
one thumbs up, thumbs down, I go thumbs down. I
do not do not have empathy. Do not have empathy
(10:56):
for either one of these guys. And my advice, unsolicited
overnight sports radio advice, is to go down to the
medical cabinet. Medicine cabinet you have there, and open it
up on the second shelf, not the first, not the
top shelf, the second shelf right in the middle, the
middle shelf of the medicine cabinet. There's a little white bottle.
And you take that little white bottle and you open
(11:17):
it up. It's got the child lock on it. You
twist it a little bit. You gotta squeeze down and
then twist you open it up. You take one pill out,
not two, not three to one pill. It's a no
dose and it's called caffeine. And you can stamp. It's
an amazing thing. Suck it up, buttercup, okay. And why
why it's a TV show? Right? It's a TV show.
(11:41):
And if you have a chance to be on a
TV show that pays a lot of money, you do
it whenever they want you to do the TV show.
That's the way that it works. In the NCAA Men's
basketball tournament has multiplied television revenue nearly seventy times in
the last forty years. Let me repeat that for those
(12:02):
of you a little slow in the back of the room.
The NCUBLEA as a television show has increased revenue nearly
seventy times since the early nineteen eighties. Is there any
other TV show that has seen that kind of revenue
increase consistently? Probably not one point one billion a year.
(12:26):
One point one billion a year. So this is a
teachable moment. Now, what is the lesson? The lesson? Those
that make the gold, make the rules, and the ones
that make the gold are TV. And thus the TV
advertisers who have this weird, this weird formula that they
have where they spread all the games out to certain
(12:49):
television windows and they determine where they can get the
most bang for their buck. And that's the way that
it goes. And if they tell you to play at
two in the morning, then you should be like you're
in the United States Marines and say sir, yes, sir, okay,
we're there. We'll be happy to do it. Now that said,
there is something that Mick Cronin said. There is something
(13:11):
that Mick Cronin said that I completely am lockstep with.
He complained about the Allegsion Air flight back to Los Angeles.
He did not seem to appreciate the quality of Allegianaire. Now,
to be fair, I have not flown Allegianaire. I have
friends that have and have not said kind things, have
not said kind things. So I can't say firsthand that
(13:33):
I've had a bad experience, but I have had people
in my circle that have not had very kind things
to say about Allegionaire. But you think this is kind
of big business and they should be able to I
don't know, afford something that you don't have to pedal
power to have the thing take off. But what do
I know? All right? Anyway, all right, now, last word here.
So we have now whittled down, down, down, down down.
(13:55):
We have whittled down the NCAA tournament field from sixty
eight teams to sixteen teams. And how do you dissect
the clear and obvious lack of Cinderella. Cinderella is not there.
There is no Cinderella in the Sweet sixteen of March Madness?
So how do you dissect this? So I have, after
(14:17):
a special minutes long mallar dissection, I have determined this
is industrial strength chalk. Is what this is? Obviously it's
industrial strake chalk. So the Sweet sixteen the total seed value,
you know they add up the seeds fifty five? What
does that mean? In Layman's terms. So it means the
average seed going forward now that we've made it through
(14:40):
the first weekend is three point four to four is
the average seed. The only the only team that is
worse than a six is one team worse than a six.
I believe it's John Calipari and Arkansas. Does anyone think
that at John Calipari Arkansas team counts as a upstart team?
Probably not right. And twenty oh seven, you go go back.
(15:03):
That's I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I
was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I
wasn't here doing shows. No, twenty oh seven was the
last time that we had this kind of a trucky
micchalk situation in the sweet sixteen and that was a
no team worse than a seven seed. That was twenty
(15:23):
oh seven, So you do the math on that, and
which was twenty twenty five, And so that's eighteen years ago.
That's a long time. So if you were born in
twenty oh seven, you've just gotten out of like high
school now and you're off to the to the real world.
So I would say, welcome to the new normal. I'm
gonna go Conspiracy theory guy. I'll go tinfoil hat guy.
(15:43):
It was a song years ago that said video killed
the radio star. I would argue that Nil took the
guillotine and beheaded the upstart Cinderella the mid major. That
it's a guillotine to the Cinderella. Here's why name image
like this what. I'm not against it. It seems a
little bit out of control to me, But I'm not
(16:04):
against it. Right. I'm the guy that ranted from the
bullied paulp and it's ridiculous, you know, just say it
kept saying student athlete. These guys should get paid over
the table. They got paid over the table. Fine, but
name amagen likeness. Poaching. It's like whaling and you hear
stories about I don't know how much that's true or not,
but the whaling back in the sixties and they just
(16:24):
destroyed the whale population out in the oceans and all that.
But the poaching. If you're halfway decent at a mid major,
you're not staying at a mid major. You're not There
is a dramatic decline of the underdog, the first sign
of life you have. If you're a mid major player
and they're always on the hunt, they're always on the
(16:46):
prowl at these major schools, and they're gonna snatch you
away and give you a giant check. If you're a
diamond in the rough, you're not going to be in
the rough for very long. So for me, I can't
count John Coli part I cannot count as an underdog.
So for me, I gotta go BYU, that Tater tot guy,
the tat top bloodline guy. That's gotta be the dog, right,
(17:06):
That's gotta be the underdog BYU, Tater Tod guy, grandfather
invent of the Tator Todd the kid. For BYU, that's
gotta be the one.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
A star of childhood television if you're of a certain age.
Mister Rogers Neighborhood was in Pittsburgh. It was based on Pittsburgh,
and now the NFL version of Mister Rogers Neighborhood this
close to heading to the Burg. Welcome in the beginning
(17:45):
of another hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are
in the air everywhere a consortium as we experienced the
ultimate overnight voyage coast to coast, border the motor and
beyond the mast and vivaciously powerful microphones of FSR AMMA
(18:05):
nating live from the box, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox
on Fox as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot Com studio. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars and o'
(18:27):
stevie Meatballs in Florida loves that number ten thousand ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying show me. So
our lead this hour is from Footbool. We'll get back
to the collegiate basketball at some point here as we're
down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you if
you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're doing
(18:48):
very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very well
in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football in
the berg and while you were away, well you might
have been here, but we weren't here. We were away
from the guard shack. As we have the watchtower overlooking
the sports world in the middle of the night, the
graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends,
(19:08):
and so we're not manning the fortit. I did mention
a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death
of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will
live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while.
And then also some of the NFL news. But we
have a time to go a little deeper. It's missed
some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had a
(19:30):
clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so not
so private get together, very public, very public. Right there
at the confluence of the Manahangahila and the Alleghany, the
creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers in
all his goy So if you've not heard the latest
on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're now
(19:53):
hearing that it appears to be green light, go stay
tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described that
Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract to
play professional football with the Pittsburgh football team. Say why yeah.
(20:14):
The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it, is
that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers.
He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can you imagine
six hours? What do you do for six You look
at the weight room, okay, what's that take twenty minutes.
You go look at the facilities. Okay, you look at
the urinal Okay, there's a urinal cake in there. That
(20:34):
takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach for
about an hour, You have lunch. That's an hour. What
are we at maybe three hours? Six hours? What are
you doing for six hours? What the hell are you doing? Anyway?
So let us discuss the question how do you assess
the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Pettsburg Steelers. So
(20:59):
I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which I
believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one over
the weekend. Chef's kiss, Just a chef's kiss is what
(21:23):
it was, all right? So numb I said number, I
get a number. So we are heading towards a waterloo moment.
We know where we're going here, and our long national
nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now, part of
me loves this because I have a lot of people
(21:45):
in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers
and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers,
and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just
gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and
just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy. Sure, now,
am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message
(22:09):
to these people that are Steeler friends. You're gonna get
your Aaron Rodgers jersey, you know, knock yourself out there. Yeah,
but my theory is concept. But you don't go to
Pittsburgh in the months of March and the month of
March unless you're ready to not sign on the dotted line,
but do the docu sign. Unless you're ready to do
the docu sign. It's a matter of when it happens,
(22:32):
not if it's going to happen. At this particular point,
there's really no other good options. The giants blow, the
vikings don't really seem all in. So it's unless something
magical pops out of thin air, that's it. Right. There
has been a public bromance. What up, bro, There's been
a bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin that has
(22:55):
played out for a couple of years. But if you
look at the Steelers and what they have done, I
would argue the last couple of years Ben Roethlisberger was there,
he was a turn that he went very good. But
if you look overall Pittsburgh the last couple of years
they had Roethlisberger, it's continued through the Kenny Pickett, Mason
Rudolph that directly put out there last year with Justin
(23:18):
Fields and also mister unlimited Russell Wilson. That has been
a temporary job. The Pittsburgh quarterback job is a temp job,
and so you put Aaron Rodgers out there, it's a
big name, it's an MVP name, but in reality, it
is another buzz light Year band aid. It's a little
kid's band aid with that buzz light Year on it,
(23:40):
and that's what it is. It's a turnstop. That job
is a turnstile job at this particular point, which is fine.
They keep making the playoffs there. Rogers did an absolute
belly whopper with the Jets and now here we are.
He's a year older forty one. At this point, he
looks to be on the other side of the wash,
(24:02):
the other side of the tracks, and it's not going well.
But I love it. I love it. The Steelers are
a high profile team, even though you say Pittsburgh's not
a big market. That is one of the legacy teams
in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers that have fans everywhere.
I know when the Steelers, I can do the show
from Los Angeles, when the Steelers come to LA they
might as well be in Pittsburgh. It is a packed
(24:25):
house of Yinzer lovers there, and that's everywhere the Steelers go.
They're one of the great draws on the road that
fans all over the place, still benefiting from Terry Bradshaw
and the nineteen seventies Steel Curtain defense back in the day.
So they've got that. There's generations of fans for the
Pittsburgh Steelers. We get that. So it's a highly combustible situation,
(24:48):
which is good for people like me. You look at
it and you've got the long the twoth quarterback who
still thinks he can play in Aaron Rodgers. He's the
agent provocateur. You've got the firebrand quarterback, mixed with the
long tenured coach who's got Supreme Justice Supreme Court justice
(25:11):
tenure in Mike Tomlin. You mix together the polarizing look
at me wide receiver George Pickens, who now has to
take a back seat to another devil wide receiver, DK
Metcalf who got the bag. Both those guys are capable
of dominating, absolutely dominating, and also dominating in a negative way.
(25:31):
So you got the yin and the yangt wide receiver,
and you've got all these ingredients, and I'm down for it.
I'm in, I'm in. And the reason why I have
a daily talk show I have to do every night,
I have to come in here. I have four hours
of talk radio I have to do. And it's more
fun when you have this type of situation. If it works, mozletom, congratulations, right,
(25:53):
if it works, good for you. Black and yellow, black
and yellow, black and yellow and all that playoff when here,
there and everywhere, and uh whoo, be damned, Fluke, run
to the plubs now if it flops. If it flops,
great for guest baggery. It is a situation. If you
look at it from the outside, it's you've got inflammatory comments, guarantee,
(26:17):
right guarantee. Because every every week Rogers will hang out
with Pat McAfee, they'll do their little grab ass. He'll
maybe do a couple of Joe Rogan interviews as spots
and say something zany and crazy and all that, and
then Mike Tomlin will be asked to comment about what
Rogers said, and then Tom's not gonna want to comment,
so we'll say some stupid thing and then that'll that'll
(26:38):
then go to Rogers and what was your Tomlin said?
And then they'll go back and forth. And it's a
win win situation from a content standpoint, it's a win
win all right. Now, page two, So can you explain
the other quarterback here? Can you explain what is happening
in Russell Wilson's universe, his free agent sojourn, his journey
(27:01):
around the NFL. So on this one, I'm relating to
Russell Wilson because I know what it's like to be
picked last. I know what it's like. That's what Russell
Wilson's going through. Welcome to my world, Russ, Welcome to
my world, mister last picked on the playground. I know
what that's like. I know what that's like Russ, and
that's reality. That is the situation that Russell Wilson's in.
(27:24):
He is a declining asset and he never was an
MVP level player. He never got a single vote for
the Most Valuable Player award. He's always a guy that
benefited from being on a great defensive with a great
defensive team in Seattle, the Legion of Boom and all
that stuff. But right now he finds himself on the registry.
He is on the do not call registry, and that's
(27:46):
the way it is right now. As Sean Payton and
Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton the last year Russ was in
Denver and Tomlin last year were able to hide the
many moles, the warts that Russell Wilson in his game
has And the real ones know, though, the real ones
know that Russ was toast. And you can only put
(28:07):
so much lipstick on to cover up the many flaws
and the imperfections and all that stuff, and at some
point you just look like a clown and it's just
not good at all. And Russell Wilson has met with
the Browns, Speaking of clowns, they met with the Browns
and also the Giants, another clown operation. They're the New
York Giants. And so mister unlimited, fair to say, is
(28:30):
not in demand. You don't get all warm and fuzzy.
You don't win the day when you hire Russell Wilson,
who's washed up as your quarterback. That is not something
that happens these types of aging or quarterback that doesn't
want to give it up. A diamond doesn't. Diamond doesn't.
And so but Russell will get a job somewhere, whether
(28:52):
it's right now, or somebody gets hurt during the off
season or in training camp, someone will bring bring him
in now. Final So the Ben Gals, that's a football team,
not a good one. They didn't make the playoffs last year.
So Cincinnati wide receiver Jamar Chase, he apparently read this
over the week and he bought his They say he
(29:12):
bought it. I don't know if he rented it or
bought it. There's different reports. One report said he rented it,
another said he bought the Lamborghini. I guess there's video
of him saying he bought it. But after he signed
that record setting contract, highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
So there was some video posted on the socials that
showed Jamar Chase zooming around the streets of Miami, which
(29:35):
I've been to Miami. You can't really drive that fast
in Miami, but he was zooming around or trying to
with teammate T Higgins. And your thoughts on the viral
video which has made the rounds here of the Bengals
wide receivers enjoying a nice leisurely drive around South Florida.
So my first thought was Vin Diesel Baby, that's Vin
(29:59):
Diesel Fast and the Furious, like thirty three. I think
they're up to thirty three now. Just that was what
it was. And I also thought of the movie that
I saw years ago, the documentary Bankrupt. I thought of that,
and people say that a fool and his money are
soon parted, but it's possibly just rented the cars. I'm
(30:19):
not sure whether they rented them or bought them. And
they bought them, then you can goof on them and
you know, hey, that's the way it goes. But that Lamborghini,
that's a five hundred thousand, minimum five hundred thousand of
it's new Lamborghini. So that's half a million right there,
plus the insurance on that, get maintenance. Good luck on
that what could possibly go wrong? And they looked like
(30:42):
the other cars were McLaren's in the video that I saw.
I'm a car guy, car guy, so I thought McLaren's
possibly there. And hey, you know, as the line goes,
we all know this as dudes, you know, we grow
older and we don't stop playing with toys. The toys
just get more expense if they're bigger and more expensive
the older you get. And that's just the way life is.
(31:04):
And then you check out and that's it game over all. Right,
it is the Ben Masher. But as long as those
guys are not going full like Oakland, Las Vegas Raider
wide receiver guy, you know what I'm saying, And you know,
smashing in any cars and killing people and whatever, go ahead,
knock yourself out, have a fun time my money.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard,
how about that to the third degree?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This is one big vent gets grilled coolo. Now.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Before the start of last season, it was reported that
Ryan Tannehill's next desk would be very selective about his
next destination. It would need a compelling opportunity to move
his family from Nashville. Oh, sure, he didn't sign with anyone,
but now it's being reported that the Vikings consider him
a potential option. Ben, do you think Minnesota would be
a compelling enough opportunity?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, I figure Maria's family in minnesot It's a great
place to live, not in the winter time, and enjoy
the fine foods, good food city there in Minnesota. And
he is no threat to JJ McCarthy. He is no threat,
And he could probably make like ten million dollars as
a backup. So yeah, why not for like ten million
is a backup? Sure? Next?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Hassan Riddick was one of the first free agent signings
earlier this month when he inked a one year deal
with the Buccaneers now the GM. Jason Light Yeah made
a recent radio appearance where he said that he thought
twenty twenty four was an aberration and that reddit can
get back to being an elite player in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Do you agree, Well, what is your definition of believe?
He's never gonna get the money back that he lost
his unner and salary, the bonuses that he lost. One
of the great debacles in recent NFL history, he lost
approximately seven million dollars. I would need therapy. I would
need meds if I lost seven million. Can he be
(32:54):
a good rusher? He's been a good rusher. Is he
gonna dominate the Tampa Bay defense? I'm gonna go no
on that. So I'm gonna disagree with the overly optimistic
general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But if I'm him,
I mean, oh my god, you've also over seven million.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Next, Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the
Mavericks were to blame for his ACL injury, saying I
led the leagues in a minute, so the f what
He also went on to say, if he asked ninety
five percent of the league if they would rather be
playing fifteen minutes or thirty five minutes to night, I
guarantee you ninety five percent of them would say thirty
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Do you think that's true, Ben, No, not at all.
The players have been brainwashed the dogma of the nerds
that you know, you gotta take care of your body,
don't play back to backs, blah blah blah blah blah.
The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half
their team because there you gotta you know, you gotta save.
You gotta play Brownnie. They gave me they lost who
they playing that night after the Bucks they just shot down.
All these guys buy into that stuff. So I disagree
(33:48):
with Kyrie. They all believe it. How did we do? Kobolo?
You passes? That is a way you can put it
on the ball. Yo, I want James hollering, James, I won, James.

I'm not joking, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Just calm down, Okay, should we do multiple we don't
want you got upset when I did multiple choice? Right,
you don't wan multiple choices?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I mean I got the multiple choice that you did
last time, was like so easy.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
Shouldn't need it multiple choices?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
That one easy? I'm okay, all right, go ahead, go ahead, good,
I'm not I'm not all right. Well this one should
be easy. You shouldn't need multiple choice, but I'll do
it anyway. Well, it's all right. Which Major League baseball
legend was known as Mister October.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Mister October, there's no chance he definitely needs multiple choices.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
All Right, we've got a Dave Winfield, b Derek Jeter,
and see Reggie Jackson. Which one do you want? Lorena?
Question two? Are you smart? In the FSR? Chuck Colon,
She's over one?
Speaker 5 (41:01):
Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go with Reggie Jackson.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Interesting. All right, Daniel, what's your answer? Daniel?
Speaker 4 (41:10):
I will definitely agree with Loraina. Mister Reggie Jackson for
hitting his home run in October.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
So that is that is Look at you, you're a sportswoman. Yeah,
Reggie Jackson, mister October. He beat up the Dodgers in
the World Series, became known as mister October Reggie Jackson.
All right, we're doing We're one. You're ahead, Daniel, but
Lorena is quickly catching up. Let's go to geography. Always
a tough subject to do. Geography. My god, what a nightmare.
(41:41):
All right, here we go. Let's see how stupid should
I go with the question? Let's see here? Sum down Bendman. Okay, yeah, boy,
some of these just so easy. Okay. Uh, what is
the name of the line lines that run east to
(42:03):
west across a map? Uh? East to west across the map? Daniel,
you want to go first this time, Daniel, this is
a geography.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
I'm gonna guess equator.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Okay, Larina, let's say you longitude ben all you No,
it's actually.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
You know what, That's what I meant to say. Latitude
is what I meant to tell it to. The long
as is a long way. Latitude is the sideways.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah you're close. No, No, I was right. You know
you didn't know.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
You didn't get it right?
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
The other answer is just what was meant to come out.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
A very good let's see here, let's go to But
we're going to pop culture, right. I didn't tease this,
but we'll do a pop culture and Ted Lasso? You
ever watched Ted Lasso? You ever watched that show? No?
Great show? Okay, on Ted Lasso? What treat does Ted
(43:10):
give his colleagues that they find irresistible?
Speaker 5 (43:14):
How old is this show?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
It's frond like twenty twenty. Yeah, that's really old. I
mean five years ago. Holy crap?
Speaker 5 (43:21):
What did they eat?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
This show's coming back, isn't it. I think it is.
It's kind of back for season.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
But I've watched every episode and I don't even know
this really okay?
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Interesting? Repeat the question on ted Lasso. What treat does
Ted give his colleagues that they find irresistible? Do they get?
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Do I get? Multiple choice?
Speaker 1 (43:38):
No?
Speaker 5 (43:38):
I'm leaning towards either a Tutsi roll or a Starburst.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
It's very specific. It's a brand, you know, like a.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Kid, you know, like when when you get like in kindergarten.
Oh you diok a job. Here's a little candy.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, so you're going candy? Yeah, okay, walks up candy?
What about you, Daniel? What do you think Ted Lasso?
What treat did Ted give his colleagues that they found irresistible?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
I regret to say I do not watch Ted Leffelt
because we don't have Apple TV to well raina on candy.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Went and doubt agree with Loraina and you'll be wrong,
just like Jesus biscuits, biscuits, the biscuits.
Speaker 5 (44:17):
Yeah, as a customerd biscuits.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
We're doing biscuits and gravy. You know, you gotta say that.
Speaker 5 (44:22):
I mean I think the cookie is actually I like
tots and gravy better than biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Well, because like in England, don't they call like cookies
biscuits or on.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
The show was biscuits though watched the show was no,
but they said biscuits. Yeah yeah, so if you watch
the show, you would know it. All right, all right,
we'll keep going. Here, we'll do one more. This is
the last one. Boy, what a game. This has been unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Okay, because I got that latitude, he gives it to
the owner of the team. Right, Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Okay, here we go, which don't don't leave your hands
that Which president is on the five dollar bill? Which
president is on the five dollar bill? This is a
loosely a history question.
Speaker 5 (45:06):
I think it's Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
All right, Daniel, what do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (45:12):
It is Lincoln?
Speaker 1 (45:13):
That is right, it is Abraham Lincoln. But we're out
of time, and you win, Daniel. You got one more question? Right?
Congratulations Daniel? You are you are smarter than the FSR
tech queen. Did you know you said the wrong answer? Well, man,
I used to tell that to my teacher. Now I'm
doing overnight radio, so it didn't work obviously, right, I
(45:35):
mean you know anyway, Well, congratulations, Daniel, you get a
golden ticket. You get a golden take it all right?
Could you you are smart? Even without having Ted Lasso
and Apple TV and all that he still got it.

The fitting of the herd well come in not beginning

as play the hits. Play the hits. One of the
bosses around here like to say back in the day,
(01:39):
play the hits. Don't bury the lead, my man Art,
We're not gonna bury the lead. So we'll start with
the madness of March. We have made it through the
spectacle that is the first weekend, really the weekend of engagement,
and it is one of the few events that we
have that the excitement goes down. It starts at the
(01:59):
krish and then goes the other direction. But we're down
to the Sweet sixteen now and a rather uneventful, uneventful
opening weekend, and we did have a couple of dramatic,
somewhat dramatic Maryland game buzzer beater there to knock down
and knock out Colorado State. It would be the moment
(02:20):
of the weekend, the game that a couple of games
that got my attention over the weekend. I went down
in Flames with Rick Patino and Saint John's he lasted. Well,
there's a joke there about how long Saint John's lasted,
But I think you know the joke, and I don't
need to go down to that level to make the
joke about how long Saint John's lasted, and you don't
(02:41):
really care about my bracket. You don't worry about your bracket,
so it's not really that important. But on Sunday, the
game that I circled that I was I kind of
want to watch this more than the other games was
Yukon and the Florida Gators. I was like, all right, again,
we got something there. Yukon code famously went out and
(03:03):
had a little nice dinner, played foot seat with the
Lakers and then said screw you. I'm saying right where
I am, you losers, and I love that. I thought
that was great. He stuck it to the Lakers and
talked about Dan Hurley, the coach at Connecticut, so Yukon
trying for a three peat, that the back to back
champions coming in to play on Sunday, and a game
(03:23):
that came down close. Game came down to the bitter
and a nail bier. It was a nail bier, but
in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The
Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of
the bracket there. They win seventy seven, seventy they said
the little we do not have the number one. Lorrain
is busy, she was busy talking. So there we go.
(03:46):
Now we have the number one. The number one was down.
Oh my god. All right, so that means for Connecticut
turn at the last, the parties over. They're done, the
number eight seed out as they have been exterminated from
the NCAA tournament. Now, what happened after the game is
(04:09):
to me, the more interesting part of the story, the
better story is in the losing locker room. And so
there was a viral malmey that took place after the
game out of he saw it. Not maybe you didn't
see it, but Dan Hurley was caught on candid camera
as he was stomping off the court there and he
had a profane message to the team that was going
(04:31):
to follow Yukon and Florida on the court there in Raleigh,
as a grainy cell phone footage captured Dan Hurley seemingly
admonishing the referees, putting the finger of blame on the
officials as he entered the bowels of the arena there
(04:54):
in North Carolina. As he went viral, he said, I
hope they don't blank you like they blanked us. I
think you can figure out what the blank is there.
I hope they don't do that to you Baylor, And
what turns out, apparently they did because Baylor was pulverized
(05:15):
by Duke in their game. So the story here is
Dan Hurley and he's the headliner there for Connecticut basketball.
He has been called out by someone say internet trolls.
Other people say they're supporting truth, justice and sportsmanship way,
but either way, people were upset saying that the head
(05:36):
coach there of Yukon, it was unbecoming of Dan Hurley
what he did. He acted like a toddler that had
a conniption fit. So let us discuss the question did
Dan Hurley embarrass himself and Yukon for being a sore
loser as he walked off the court. So I've got
Bruski medicine, cabinet and guianty and we will combine all
(06:02):
of these things together and we are going to make
a to Ducan is what We're going to make a
nice to Ducin to make the agony go away. Enjoy
your to Duck, and so a to answer the question,
does Dan Hurley to embarrass himself for being a sort
loser I'm shaking my head. No, I don't have that.
(06:24):
I didn't write that on my note card. I did
not write that on my note card. And to me,
there's nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't see anything there.
He calmed down and gave some poetic quotes to the
assembled media later on. But the raw emotion of ath
lotic competitions Hurley's walking off the court here, now, I
(06:44):
wish my take was diff It'd be better talk radio
for oh Man. Dan Hurley's a douche canoe, and man,
what a loser. I don't feel that way. I know
there's a natural reaction. He's not a gracious loser. Did
anyone think Dan Hurley was anything but an angry loser
when his team loses? Like? Is this some kind of
revelation from basketball nation? Seriously? And I'm okay with it.
(07:10):
I'm okay with why last I checked, this is not
a Saturday morning at the YMCA teaching little children about
how to play basketball and sportsmanship. Dan Hurley all right,
for better or worse. His favorite ruski is Modello. He's
got that fighting spirit and I like that. I like
(07:30):
that passion to passion play, and I think it's good
as newt Rockney and others have been credited with saying,
when it comes to wins and losses, wins and losses,
you show me a good loser, and I will show
you a loser. And so Hurley's not a good loser.
We know that. And let's be real. He's a professional coach.
(07:51):
Dan Hurley is a professional coach. He's making eight million
dollars a year, over eight million dollars a year to
coach in a sleepy college town in Connecticut. And this
is the test. The NCAA tournament is the test. No
one watches college basketball other than the tarnetentles. You're a
degenerate gambler. You're not watching college basketball other than March madness.
(08:13):
So this is the only time that matters. And he
felt that his team was aggrieved by the referees and
he was upset by it, and that was his reaction.
But we know, we know about Dan. The guy is
a convicted whack adoodle. He is a whack adoodle. A
lot of these coaches are whack of doodles. Well, the
players are whackadoodles, all right. This is not a natural thing.
(08:36):
That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley.
The players are making money, they're professionals, anil deals. It's
professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat
ass student. It was never student athlete. They're always getting
money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front. Well,
(08:57):
Dan Hurley, none of that story. A couple of weeks ago,
we talked about it a little bit on the air,
but they did a deep dive on what makes Dan
Hurley tick. And you know, he burns sage to ward
off bad jujuu, and he sprints his holy water on
the court. He's got bags of garlic bulbs he walks
around with to keep evil spirits away. He's going for it.
(09:21):
He's doing all that. He's got all that stuff in
his repertoire, and so that's who he is. He eats
the same lucky blue m and ms before every game,
like he's got this routine. He only eats the color
blue unless the other team has the opponent has the
color blue, and then he's got to switch it up
and eat like a red or a green, depending on
what color they have. So snapping like Dan Hurley did,
(09:45):
on brand, it's on brand. We're fine with we're good,
all right now, turning the page. So we also had
a number of complaints over the weekend. Michigan State, which
has advanced coach Tom Good Old Tom is He's one
of the old old codgers, still hanging out. So Tom
is Oh. And then UCLA's mccron was eliminated over the weekend.
(10:08):
But both coaches is Oh and mc cronin were grumbling.
They got that grumbling tummy over the weekend. They were
complaining about what what were they complaining about? Oh, my god,
we've got to play those late games, my god, so late. Yeah,
they were complaining about the late start times in the
NCAA tournament. And the question do you have any empathy
(10:33):
for Tomo at Michigan State and Mick cronin at UCLA,
both of them giving the bad body language and the
grumbling about the start times for their teams, and UCLA
has been eliminated Michigan State plays on so on this
one thumbs up, thumbs down, I go thumbs down. I
do not do not have empathy. Do not have empathy
(10:56):
for either one of these guys. And my advice, unsolicited
overnight sports radio advice, is to go down to the
medical cabinet. Medicine cabinet you have there, and open it
up on the second shelf, not the first, not the
top shelf, the second shelf right in the middle, the
middle shelf of the medicine cabinet. There's a little white bottle.
And you take that little white bottle and you open
(11:17):
it up. It's got the child lock on it. You
twist it a little bit. You gotta squeeze down and
then twist you open it up. You take one pill out,
not two, not three to one pill. It's a no
dose and it's called caffeine. And you can stamp. It's
an amazing thing. Suck it up, buttercup, okay. And why
why it's a TV show? Right? It's a TV show.
(11:41):
And if you have a chance to be on a
TV show that pays a lot of money, you do
it whenever they want you to do the TV show.
That's the way that it works. In the NCAA Men's
basketball tournament has multiplied television revenue nearly seventy times in
the last forty years. Let me repeat that for those
(12:02):
of you a little slow in the back of the room.
The NCUBLEA as a television show has increased revenue nearly
seventy times since the early nineteen eighties. Is there any
other TV show that has seen that kind of revenue
increase consistently? Probably not one point one billion a year.
(12:26):
One point one billion a year. So this is a
teachable moment. Now, what is the lesson? The lesson? Those
that make the gold, make the rules, and the ones
that make the gold are TV. And thus the TV
advertisers who have this weird, this weird formula that they
have where they spread all the games out to certain
(12:49):
television windows and they determine where they can get the
most bang for their buck. And that's the way that
it goes. And if they tell you to play at
two in the morning, then you should be like you're
in the United States Marines and say sir, yes, sir, okay,
we're there. We'll be happy to do it. Now that said,
there is something that Mick Cronin said. There is something
(13:11):
that Mick Cronin said that I completely am lockstep with.
He complained about the Allegsion Air flight back to Los Angeles.
He did not seem to appreciate the quality of Allegianaire. Now,
to be fair, I have not flown Allegianaire. I have
friends that have and have not said kind things, have
not said kind things. So I can't say firsthand that
(13:33):
I've had a bad experience, but I have had people
in my circle that have not had very kind things
to say about Allegionaire. But you think this is kind
of big business and they should be able to I
don't know, afford something that you don't have to pedal
power to have the thing take off. But what do
I know? All right? Anyway, all right, now, last word here.
So we have now whittled down, down, down, down down.
(13:55):
We have whittled down the NCAA tournament field from sixty
eight teams to sixteen teams. And how do you dissect
the clear and obvious lack of Cinderella. Cinderella is not there.
There is no Cinderella in the Sweet sixteen of March Madness?
So how do you dissect this? So I have, after
(14:17):
a special minutes long mallar dissection, I have determined this
is industrial strength chalk. Is what this is? Obviously it's
industrial strake chalk. So the Sweet sixteen the total seed value,
you know they add up the seeds fifty five? What
does that mean? In Layman's terms. So it means the
average seed going forward now that we've made it through
(14:40):
the first weekend is three point four to four is
the average seed. The only the only team that is
worse than a six is one team worse than a six.
I believe it's John Calipari and Arkansas. Does anyone think
that at John Calipari Arkansas team counts as a upstart team?
Probably not right. And twenty oh seven, you go go back.
(15:03):
That's I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I
was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I
wasn't here doing shows. No, twenty oh seven was the
last time that we had this kind of a trucky
micchalk situation in the sweet sixteen and that was a
no team worse than a seven seed. That was twenty
(15:23):
oh seven, So you do the math on that, and
which was twenty twenty five, And so that's eighteen years ago.
That's a long time. So if you were born in
twenty oh seven, you've just gotten out of like high
school now and you're off to the to the real world.
So I would say, welcome to the new normal. I'm
gonna go Conspiracy theory guy. I'll go tinfoil hat guy.
(15:43):
It was a song years ago that said video killed
the radio star. I would argue that Nil took the
guillotine and beheaded the upstart Cinderella the mid major. That
it's a guillotine to the Cinderella. Here's why name image
like this what. I'm not against it. It seems a
little bit out of control to me, But I'm not
(16:04):
against it. Right. I'm the guy that ranted from the
bullied paulp and it's ridiculous, you know, just say it
kept saying student athlete. These guys should get paid over
the table. They got paid over the table. Fine, but
name amagen likeness. Poaching. It's like whaling and you hear
stories about I don't know how much that's true or not,
but the whaling back in the sixties and they just
(16:24):
destroyed the whale population out in the oceans and all that.
But the poaching. If you're halfway decent at a mid major,
you're not staying at a mid major. You're not There
is a dramatic decline of the underdog, the first sign
of life you have. If you're a mid major player
and they're always on the hunt, they're always on the
(16:46):
prowl at these major schools, and they're gonna snatch you
away and give you a giant check. If you're a
diamond in the rough, you're not going to be in
the rough for very long. So for me, I can't
count John Coli part I cannot count as an underdog.
So for me, I gotta go BYU, that Tater tot guy,
the tat top bloodline guy. That's gotta be the dog, right,
(17:06):
That's gotta be the underdog BYU, Tater Tod guy, grandfather
invent of the Tator Todd the kid. For BYU, that's
gotta be the one.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
A star of childhood television if you're of a certain age.
Mister Rogers Neighborhood was in Pittsburgh. It was based on Pittsburgh,
and now the NFL version of Mister Rogers Neighborhood this
close to heading to the Burg. Welcome in the beginning
(17:45):
of another hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are
in the air everywhere a consortium as we experienced the
ultimate overnight voyage coast to coast, border the motor and
beyond the mast and vivaciously powerful microphones of FSR AMMA
(18:05):
nating live from the box, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox
on Fox as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot Com studio. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars and o'
(18:27):
stevie Meatballs in Florida loves that number ten thousand ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying show me. So
our lead this hour is from Footbool. We'll get back
to the collegiate basketball at some point here as we're
down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you if
you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're doing
(18:48):
very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very well
in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football in
the berg and while you were away, well you might
have been here, but we weren't here. We were away
from the guard shack. As we have the watchtower overlooking
the sports world in the middle of the night, the
graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends,
(19:08):
and so we're not manning the fortit. I did mention
a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death
of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will
live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while.
And then also some of the NFL news. But we
have a time to go a little deeper. It's missed
some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had a
(19:30):
clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so not
so private get together, very public, very public. Right there
at the confluence of the Manahangahila and the Alleghany, the
creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers in
all his goy So if you've not heard the latest
on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're now
(19:53):
hearing that it appears to be green light, go stay
tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described that
Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract to
play professional football with the Pittsburgh football team. Say why yeah.
(20:14):
The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it, is
that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers.
He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can you imagine
six hours? What do you do for six You look
at the weight room, okay, what's that take twenty minutes.
You go look at the facilities. Okay, you look at
the urinal Okay, there's a urinal cake in there. That
(20:34):
takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach for
about an hour, You have lunch. That's an hour. What
are we at maybe three hours? Six hours? What are
you doing for six hours? What the hell are you doing? Anyway?
So let us discuss the question how do you assess
the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Pettsburg Steelers. So
(20:59):
I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which I
believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one over
the weekend. Chef's kiss, Just a chef's kiss is what
(21:23):
it was, all right? So numb I said number, I
get a number. So we are heading towards a waterloo moment.
We know where we're going here, and our long national
nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now, part of
me loves this because I have a lot of people
(21:45):
in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers
and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers,
and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just
gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and
just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy. Sure, now,
am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message
(22:09):
to these people that are Steeler friends. You're gonna get
your Aaron Rodgers jersey, you know, knock yourself out there. Yeah,
but my theory is concept. But you don't go to
Pittsburgh in the months of March and the month of
March unless you're ready to not sign on the dotted line,
but do the docu sign. Unless you're ready to do
the docu sign. It's a matter of when it happens,
(22:32):
not if it's going to happen. At this particular point,
there's really no other good options. The giants blow, the
vikings don't really seem all in. So it's unless something
magical pops out of thin air, that's it. Right. There
has been a public bromance. What up, bro, There's been
a bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin that has
(22:55):
played out for a couple of years. But if you
look at the Steelers and what they have done, I
would argue the last couple of years Ben Roethlisberger was there,
he was a turn that he went very good. But
if you look overall Pittsburgh the last couple of years
they had Roethlisberger, it's continued through the Kenny Pickett, Mason
Rudolph that directly put out there last year with Justin
(23:18):
Fields and also mister unlimited Russell Wilson. That has been
a temporary job. The Pittsburgh quarterback job is a temp job,
and so you put Aaron Rodgers out there, it's a
big name, it's an MVP name, but in reality, it
is another buzz light Year band aid. It's a little
kid's band aid with that buzz light Year on it,
(23:40):
and that's what it is. It's a turnstop. That job
is a turnstile job at this particular point, which is fine.
They keep making the playoffs there. Rogers did an absolute
belly whopper with the Jets and now here we are.
He's a year older forty one. At this point, he
looks to be on the other side of the wash,
(24:02):
the other side of the tracks, and it's not going well.
But I love it. I love it. The Steelers are
a high profile team, even though you say Pittsburgh's not
a big market. That is one of the legacy teams
in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers that have fans everywhere.
I know when the Steelers, I can do the show
from Los Angeles, when the Steelers come to LA they
might as well be in Pittsburgh. It is a packed
(24:25):
house of Yinzer lovers there, and that's everywhere the Steelers go.
They're one of the great draws on the road that
fans all over the place, still benefiting from Terry Bradshaw
and the nineteen seventies Steel Curtain defense back in the day.
So they've got that. There's generations of fans for the
Pittsburgh Steelers. We get that. So it's a highly combustible situation,
(24:48):
which is good for people like me. You look at
it and you've got the long the twoth quarterback who
still thinks he can play in Aaron Rodgers. He's the
agent provocateur. You've got the firebrand quarterback, mixed with the
long tenured coach who's got Supreme Justice Supreme Court justice
(25:11):
tenure in Mike Tomlin. You mix together the polarizing look
at me wide receiver George Pickens, who now has to
take a back seat to another devil wide receiver, DK
Metcalf who got the bag. Both those guys are capable
of dominating, absolutely dominating, and also dominating in a negative way.
(25:31):
So you got the yin and the yangt wide receiver,
and you've got all these ingredients, and I'm down for it.
I'm in, I'm in. And the reason why I have
a daily talk show I have to do every night,
I have to come in here. I have four hours
of talk radio I have to do. And it's more
fun when you have this type of situation. If it works, mozletom, congratulations, right,
(25:53):
if it works, good for you. Black and yellow, black
and yellow, black and yellow and all that playoff when here,
there and everywhere, and uh whoo, be damned, Fluke, run
to the plubs now if it flops. If it flops,
great for guest baggery. It is a situation. If you
look at it from the outside, it's you've got inflammatory comments, guarantee,
(26:17):
right guarantee. Because every every week Rogers will hang out
with Pat McAfee, they'll do their little grab ass. He'll
maybe do a couple of Joe Rogan interviews as spots
and say something zany and crazy and all that, and
then Mike Tomlin will be asked to comment about what
Rogers said, and then Tom's not gonna want to comment,
so we'll say some stupid thing and then that'll that'll
(26:38):
then go to Rogers and what was your Tomlin said?
And then they'll go back and forth. And it's a
win win situation from a content standpoint, it's a win
win all right. Now, page two, So can you explain
the other quarterback here? Can you explain what is happening
in Russell Wilson's universe, his free agent sojourn, his journey
(27:01):
around the NFL. So on this one, I'm relating to
Russell Wilson because I know what it's like to be
picked last. I know what it's like. That's what Russell
Wilson's going through. Welcome to my world, Russ, Welcome to
my world, mister last picked on the playground. I know
what that's like. I know what that's like Russ, and
that's reality. That is the situation that Russell Wilson's in.
(27:24):
He is a declining asset and he never was an
MVP level player. He never got a single vote for
the Most Valuable Player award. He's always a guy that
benefited from being on a great defensive with a great
defensive team in Seattle, the Legion of Boom and all
that stuff. But right now he finds himself on the registry.
He is on the do not call registry, and that's
(27:46):
the way it is right now. As Sean Payton and
Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton the last year Russ was in
Denver and Tomlin last year were able to hide the
many moles, the warts that Russell Wilson in his game
has And the real ones know, though, the real ones
know that Russ was toast. And you can only put
(28:07):
so much lipstick on to cover up the many flaws
and the imperfections and all that stuff, and at some
point you just look like a clown and it's just
not good at all. And Russell Wilson has met with
the Browns, Speaking of clowns, they met with the Browns
and also the Giants, another clown operation. They're the New
York Giants. And so mister unlimited, fair to say, is
(28:30):
not in demand. You don't get all warm and fuzzy.
You don't win the day when you hire Russell Wilson,
who's washed up as your quarterback. That is not something
that happens these types of aging or quarterback that doesn't
want to give it up. A diamond doesn't. Diamond doesn't.
And so but Russell will get a job somewhere, whether
(28:52):
it's right now, or somebody gets hurt during the off
season or in training camp, someone will bring bring him
in now. Final So the Ben Gals, that's a football team,
not a good one. They didn't make the playoffs last year.
So Cincinnati wide receiver Jamar Chase, he apparently read this
over the week and he bought his They say he
(29:12):
bought it. I don't know if he rented it or
bought it. There's different reports. One report said he rented it,
another said he bought the Lamborghini. I guess there's video
of him saying he bought it. But after he signed
that record setting contract, highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
So there was some video posted on the socials that
showed Jamar Chase zooming around the streets of Miami, which
(29:35):
I've been to Miami. You can't really drive that fast
in Miami, but he was zooming around or trying to
with teammate T Higgins. And your thoughts on the viral
video which has made the rounds here of the Bengals
wide receivers enjoying a nice leisurely drive around South Florida.
So my first thought was Vin Diesel Baby, that's Vin
(29:59):
Diesel Fast and the Furious, like thirty three. I think
they're up to thirty three now. Just that was what
it was. And I also thought of the movie that
I saw years ago, the documentary Bankrupt. I thought of that,
and people say that a fool and his money are
soon parted, but it's possibly just rented the cars. I'm
(30:19):
not sure whether they rented them or bought them. And
they bought them, then you can goof on them and
you know, hey, that's the way it goes. But that Lamborghini,
that's a five hundred thousand, minimum five hundred thousand of
it's new Lamborghini. So that's half a million right there,
plus the insurance on that, get maintenance. Good luck on
that what could possibly go wrong? And they looked like
(30:42):
the other cars were McLaren's in the video that I saw.
I'm a car guy, car guy, so I thought McLaren's
possibly there. And hey, you know, as the line goes,
we all know this as dudes, you know, we grow
older and we don't stop playing with toys. The toys
just get more expense if they're bigger and more expensive
the older you get. And that's just the way life is.
(31:04):
And then you check out and that's it game over all. Right,
it is the Ben Masher. But as long as those
guys are not going full like Oakland, Las Vegas Raider
wide receiver guy, you know what I'm saying, And you know,
smashing in any cars and killing people and whatever, go ahead,
knock yourself out, have a fun time my money.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard,
how about that to the third degree?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This is one big vent gets grilled coolo. Now.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Before the start of last season, it was reported that
Ryan Tannehill's next desk would be very selective about his
next destination. It would need a compelling opportunity to move
his family from Nashville. Oh, sure, he didn't sign with anyone,
but now it's being reported that the Vikings consider him
a potential option. Ben, do you think Minnesota would be
a compelling enough opportunity?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, I figure Maria's family in minnesot It's a great
place to live, not in the winter time, and enjoy
the fine foods, good food city there in Minnesota. And
he is no threat to JJ McCarthy. He is no threat,
And he could probably make like ten million dollars as
a backup. So yeah, why not for like ten million
is a backup? Sure? Next?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Hassan Riddick was one of the first free agent signings
earlier this month when he inked a one year deal
with the Buccaneers now the GM. Jason Light Yeah made
a recent radio appearance where he said that he thought
twenty twenty four was an aberration and that reddit can
get back to being an elite player in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Do you agree, Well, what is your definition of believe?
He's never gonna get the money back that he lost
his unner and salary, the bonuses that he lost. One
of the great debacles in recent NFL history, he lost
approximately seven million dollars. I would need therapy. I would
need meds if I lost seven million. Can he be
(32:54):
a good rusher? He's been a good rusher. Is he
gonna dominate the Tampa Bay defense? I'm gonna go no
on that. So I'm gonna disagree with the overly optimistic
general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But if I'm him,
I mean, oh my god, you've also over seven million.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Next, Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the
Mavericks were to blame for his ACL injury, saying I
led the leagues in a minute, so the f what
He also went on to say, if he asked ninety
five percent of the league if they would rather be
playing fifteen minutes or thirty five minutes to night, I
guarantee you ninety five percent of them would say thirty
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Do you think that's true, Ben, No, not at all.
The players have been brainwashed the dogma of the nerds
that you know, you gotta take care of your body,
don't play back to backs, blah blah blah blah blah.
The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half
their team because there you gotta you know, you gotta save.
You gotta play Brownnie. They gave me they lost who
they playing that night after the Bucks they just shot down.
All these guys buy into that stuff. So I disagree
(33:48):
with Kyrie. They all believe it. How did we do? Kobolo?
You passes? That is a way you can put it
on the ball. Yo, I want James hollering, James, I won, James.

Speaker 5 (43:36):

Speaker 1 (43:38):

tots and gravy better than biscuits and gravy.
