This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, you've got McDavid and you've got Mick awful alsome
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
We are in the.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Air everywhere, literally everywhere, fellow Commoners, and as we are
there for you, coast to coast, border the border and
beyond on the mast and sizzlingly powerful microphones of FSR
ammating live from the Bomb the Bomb Cyclone of Sports
(01:16):
takes as we are hanging out here at the Fox
Sports Radio Studios, as Jason and Cannes City knows. This
portion of the show made possible by ti Iraq. For

Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
(01:38):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Dot com The Way Tire Buying Show. I'd be now.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I could sit here and wax poetic about the Dodgers
beating the Podres and rant and rave about that that's
a random June game in baseball.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think we're gonna focus on that instead.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
The rare and appropriate lead yet again from the puck.
We are talking puck on the raid. That's right, rare
and appropriate. Don't get used to this. So we start
out in South Florida, where as the NBA takes another break.
The basketball players cannot be expected to play all that often.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You know how rigorous it is to play in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My gone anyway, So hockey filling the void. Filling the
void on the schedule are on a Monday night, and
we watched Game three between the Oilers and Panthers tied
up one to one. Couple of overtime thrill us in Alberta,
and now the scenes shifting to the Sunshine State. Now,
(02:46):
I don't know if you're watching this or not. Probably
not based on the ratings, very few people have been
watching this matchup so it is our act of kindness,
a public service for you, a good mitzvah of the
day that we were watching so you would not have to.
And what do we watch, Well, we watched Brad Marshant
(03:07):
do it again. He did it again, he's scored again
for the team from Florida. And Sam Bennett, how do
you do? He got it done again, each scoring goals.
Florida striking oil as they take care and beat off
the hapless Edmonton hockey team six to one on Monday night.
(03:28):
So now it is a two games to one series
lead for the team from Florida and that series, Now
will it go all the way? Will Edmonton bounce back?
Suddenly a pivotal pivotal well not suddenly. Usually it's two
to one going to game four. Game four massive for
the team trailing three games to one if they lose
(03:49):
that game. And so the story er you had the
Florida domination situation as they led this game from soup
to nuts. Brad Marshanti x bruin the oldest player to
score in each of the first three games of a
Stanley Cup final with that goal there and Sam Bennett,
the NHL playoff leading fourteenth goal, which I'm told is good.
(04:10):
I didn't play hockey, but I'm told that's pretty good.
When you lead the entire league in playoff goals, you've
done something right. So good for him. And the better story, though,
is in the losing locker room, so that is where
we were focused. We're going to focus on that. As
you know, I like the good story. The good story
here is the man that has been one of the
faces of hockey for the last decade not getting that
(04:34):
check next to his name on the Pro Hockey websites.
The stat websites were Connor McDavid not winning a Stanley
Cup lost last year. Here's another opportunity, the same rematch
situation here. So the oiler star Connor McDavid, who did
Bupkus in this game. But he did speak to the
(04:55):
assembled media after the game, and Connor McDavid said that
he believes the best version of the oilers will arrive eventually.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, well that's good. They're gonna arvive eventually, he said.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't think our best has shown up all series along,
but it's coming, he stated, So let us discuss. That's
the quote that we're gonna work with, and we're gonna
chop that up and parts the words of Connor McDavid
and get into some hot hockey talk, hot hockey talk.
So the question Connor mcdavie saying, the Oilers have not
(05:29):
played their best against the Panthers so.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Far, but it's coming. Do you believe him? Do you
believe him?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So on this one, I've got Amazon Prime, Jimmy Hendrix
and Panhandle and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to put the biscuit in
the basket, something the Oilers only did one time in
this game, as they lose by five goals, going down
six to one. So the first thought is the obvious one.
It's an odd juxtaposition from Connor McDavid to say, well,
(06:03):
it's coming, it's gonna be there, We're gonna be okay, right,
we believe, we believe. Of course you've got to say
that to some degree. We get that you have to
say that. But as Yogi Bear, the late Great Yogi
Bear famously said, it's getting very late early out here.
It's getting very late early out here. You are, by
my count, forty two percent into the Stanley Cup Final.
(06:26):
That's assuming he goes seven games that's assuming he goes
seven games, so forty two percent into the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
What exactly are you waiting for? Like, what are you
waiting for?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Did you get lost somewhere? It's coming, Dodd, trust us,
it's coming. It's going to happen right like a thunderstorm
out in the distance. You see the clouds out, it's coming.
That storm's coming. Now maybe it'll change directions, but it's coming.
This Jor's coming this way. So it's a promissory note
from Connor McDavid that hey, hey, it's gonna work out.
(06:59):
Can possible be wrong? Now, he didn't throw the word
in there butt, And as you know, everything before the
word but is bull crap. Everything before the word butt
is bull crap. So if you look at the quote here,
I don't think our best has shown up all series long,
but it's coming.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
See.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I would argue that Edmonton should have won the first
two games of the series, should be up two to one,
and then they they obviously they lost the second game
in double overtime, and then this this game, they.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Just did not show up.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So I would argue that things are going the wrong
direction here, not the right direction for the team.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
From Canada.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If Connor McDavid is promising it like he says he is,
is this like an Amazon Prime thing, like it's going
to be here in a couple of days, just wait
for it. You know, going to get it too in
less than two business days. You'll get your your better
performance here now. Unfortunately, as betten a way around this,
all of professional sports is a results based situation. You
(07:58):
are judged by actual production, like how do you actually
do it? McDavid had not one, but two more shots
on goal than you had two.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
He had no goals, no assists.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And his accomplice here Leon Drsidel for the Oilers, the
other big star.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
He's a top ten player.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Also he had a cardio game as well for the
Oilers there in terms of points, both skating circles in
circles there as the goaltending the defense for Edmonton. As
opponent there Florida Serye Babrovsky eating their lunch in this game,
the two big stars, and now you have Connor McDavid
(08:39):
out there throwing out wishful thinking as a game plan,
which generally speaking is not a great idea.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's not a great idea. It's the Cup Final.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And I certainly enjoy a good theoretical argument as much
as the next person, Like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We don't care what's coming. That doesn't do anything for
us here.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What's here in the present is the Panthers are playing
winning hockey. And the Panthers are going the right direction
and the Oilers are going the opposite direction. Now, speaking
of that, page two, and you know we love to
break down the losing locker room. So it's two to one,
(09:24):
it's three games, it's the first two. Could not get
any closer, going to overtime, this game of blowout in
Game three of the Stanley Cup Finals. So should Edmonton
be worried after this Game three no show situation? So
the Mallor paniczero meter has been activated. The Mallor Panicometer.
(09:44):
We dusted it off, and here it is. Mallord Panicometer
one to ten, with ten being a ballistic missile coming inbound,
Seek immediate shelter.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That's a ten for the the Oilers.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm at at eight point five. I'm at an eight
point five. And here's why. The arrow is pointing down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down. It's like a Jimmy Hendricks tune. Mister
bad luck, that's what it is. You're mister bad luck.
You had the glass slipper break. The real Stewart Skinner
stood up in that there, the guy that was a
(10:24):
bag of suck, and well he had been playing well
and then he goes out there.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He was so bad?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
How bad was he? He was so bad?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
He got pulled. That's not particularly good.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He got binged after a long not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, well actually five five
goals on twenty three shots. We mentioned Leon Drysidel Connor
McDavid both having cardio games. They had no points, no
points in this game, and and so the game turned
into a gong show, which I kind of like by
(10:55):
and it's by everything's by modern reference. Like I, as
you may know, my younger days, I covered hockey, you know,
as a radio stringer. So I went to a lot
of hockey games, believe it or not, many many years ago.
And I was in the era where they'd still drop
the puck and then you'd have your goon Stu Grimson
or somebody like that, ty Dolemy get into a dust
(11:18):
up and they'd start fighting right after they dropped the puck,
like that was when I was around hockey, so I
know they don't really do that anymore. It's taboo. You
must love each other, no fighting. You may have got
a concussion, but it wasn't to that degree. But it
was a gong show type situation because Edmonton had twenty
one penalties for in eighty five minutes of time. With
(11:40):
the penalties and all that stuff, and the Panthers made
them pay on all of them. They scored three goals
on powerplay, so three of the six goals were scored
on the power play, which by my math is fifty percent.
That's what that is, fifty percent. And it was the
we can't beat them, so let's try to beat them
up mantra. It's like, well, we're not gonna win the game,
(12:01):
but let's try it up. Let's shot up, give him
some bruises. We'll see if we can bruise them up
a little bit. The gloves off philosophy. Oh Gary Bettman
must have been so upset. Oh my god, haymaker fest goon.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Up, goon up, goot it up, goot it up, gooon
it up, goot it up. All right now, last word.
So I thought this was amusing. I wanted to. I
jotted this down, I found the audio, so we're gonna
play the audio.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So normally, these mid game interviews in sports are a
complete waste of time.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Percent of the time they suck. It's the person that
does it doesn't want to do it. The questions are dumb,
the answers are just cliches. It's a waste of time.
Every once in a while, like in baseball over the weekend,
you had Jazz Chisholm make an error because he was
miked up. At least that's the theory that he made
the mistake because he was miked up and he was
(12:55):
trying to play grab ass with some idiots on television.
And then in Game three of this Stanley Cup Final,
I thought this was one of the great moments I've
seen in game interviews. Let's take it out. If you
didn't want watching the game, we've got the audio. We're
gonna play. I really like this guy, Paul Maurice, the
coach of the Florida Panthers. He was very good last
year in audio. And that's really all I care about.
(13:15):
That's all I I mean. I'm just in it for
the audio. I'm just in it for the clips.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And so Paul Maurice was in games slobbery all over
Sam Bennett of his team there and his performance. He
made a couple of big plays early in that game.
This was a.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Second period interview, So let me set this up the
right way. So it's a second period, mid game, second
period interview. Paul Maurice, the Florida coach there, slobber, slabber,
slobbery all over Sam Bennett's performance. And then the report
I don't know who this woman is for Turner. She
brought up the fact that Sam Bennett's gonna be a
free agent, and she made some comment about him getting
(13:56):
a lot of money, and I want you to listen
to how Paul Maurice handled that and the quick change
in response.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Let's go to the audio tape, Tiglas.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I'm Bennett with two big hits in the D zone
and a highlight reel goal in the amzon is not
a coach's dream shift or what well.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
He sold it all over the ice, but he doesn't
chieve the game for the two goals that he's under fox.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He does all the hard right things and.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Not so Sue he is.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
I don't think his agent's gonna have to work that
hard this summer.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
But I'll move on a horrible attitude.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think it's got your bonic plague.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I see what you're doing, the nang fever. He's got
a whole bunch of things.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
We're not sure you get me cured.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Play the game, Paul, play the game.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Thank you for this.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So if you didn't hear that he was waxing loquations
about how great Sam Bennett was and then when the
fact that he's going to be a free agent and
all that stuff he mentioned, I believe the bubonic plague
and the dnang fever, which you know is not normally
brought up, not normally brought up the denaying finger fever
(14:54):
along with the bubonic plague. I thought that was great
and it was just just wonderful. So let us let's
discuss this. So what is the word? What is the
word for Florida coach Palmerice midgame interview and his pivot
while talking about Sam Bennett and his free agency.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
So this is the.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Panhandle. My word, though, is dead pan? I say panhanded.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
My word is actually deadpan because it was comedy gold.
It was wonderful He did not miss a beat. He
had the same tone. His tone did not change, deadpan delivery.
It was brilliant and that's the key. It's comedy, comedy gold.
You say the absurd thing and you are in a
(15:42):
completely serious tone.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Take play it again. I want to play it again
on here.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
This is I'm Bennett with two big hits in the
d zone and a highlight reel goal in the Arizona
is not a coach's dream shift.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Or what well.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
He sold it all over the ice, but he doesn't
chieve the game for the two goals that he's under.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Fox does all the hard right things.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
That I don't think it's agent's gonna have to work
that hard this summer.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But I'll move on a horrible attitude.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I think it's got javonic players.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Play the game, Paul, play the game.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Thank you for this. There you go. That's outstanding. That
to live we need more of that. And so as
I was making my long drive.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In from the north Woods into the main studio here,
I was thinking, these hockey coaches are under the radar. Hilarious.
And I don't make lists. As you know, I don't
do list. If you do list, you're irrelevant. But on
Big Ben's big board, which is not a list. If
Terry and England's listening not a list. I gotta tell you,
(16:44):
hockey coaches funniest coaches we have, are they not? He
and I can't name most of them, but they're really funny,
like baseball managers are just.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
They's nothing, there's nothing fun about them. They always have
a stick up.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
It took us right.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Most football coaches are not that fun. I would say, though.
Football coaches are behind hockey a distance second. And a
lot of the basketball coaches take themselves too seriously and
they're not that. They're not that amusing. I side throw that.
Throw that out there, good sense of humor. My favorite
(17:23):
he's not coaching right now, but John Tortorella. We sucked
at a time we could not suck, which is to me,
the gold standard of postgame quote.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's all you need.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
We sucked at a time you cannot suck, which sums
everything up, and that's all that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Throwing Horseshoes and hoping for the best.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Bhlor Show.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
We are in the air everywhere, denizens, as we are
millions and millions of miles away, unless we're right in
your head right now, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and scorchingly powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Amminating live from the Hammer the Sledgehammer as we are
the Sledgehammer Squad from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Jonathan and Delaware, and this portion of the
Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Rack. For over forty years. Forty years, tire
(18:41):
Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, chip fast and free, backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com the way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour is from Indianapolis,
The Changing of the Guard. Now we're not gonna go
(19:03):
to the NBA Finals because they're on hiatus. Can't work
too hard in a basketball life. Gotta have a lot
of time off. Otherwise the players bitch and we don't
want them complaining. So obviously traveling by stage coach between
Oklahoma and Indiana.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But we'll stay with the theme.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The Indianapolis football team, the pro football team in town,
making some news on a random day in relatively early June.
Relatively early June, you might have seen this, maybe not.
The Colts have gone from having one owner to having
not one, not two, but three three owners now. Jim
(19:47):
Mercede died, dropped dead there in late May. He was
a young young man. For most people say sixty five,
you should live longer than that. But he was sixty
five and had a hard life and he checked out.
So ERSA Jim Irsay done and the NFL franchise announcing
(20:07):
that the chain of command the official transition phase as
they go from the Gilded Age to a different gilded age.
Jim Irsay's three daughters, which sounds like a reality show,
are going to take over.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show,
but it is now reality. The Triumvirent is going to
be carterly Ersay, Gordon Casey Foyt, and Kaylin Jackson. They
will all have leadership roles with the Indianapolis Colts and
that continues the Ursay bloodline. Fifty plus years of ownership,
(20:46):
and boy, nobody loves Ersay more than the people of
Baltimore and what he did for their fine set of
the old man, you know, Jim Irsay's dad.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
So that's where we are now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We're told Carterly Ersay Gordon, who's forty four, will assume
the title as the CEO and principal owner.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
However, however, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
If you've got siblings, you know that there will be
a sibling rivalry in play. The other sisters will be
involved and they will have a say in the eyes
of the NFL. The oldest one, Carli Ersa Gordon, will
be the one that is the owner. I'll see how
this plays out. So let us discuss the question for
the Esteem panel. What is your verdict on this transition
(21:31):
of Colts ownership from Jim Mersay.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Who died to the three daughters.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So I've got olive garden, Pokemon cards, and silverware, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the surf and turf at Saint
Elmo's Steakhouse there in Indianapolis, where we'll always they always
get on TV because the broadcasters they love going there
and getting the surf and turf at the steakhouse there
(21:59):
in indian Anapolis. But my thought on this, my first thought,
which as we know is number one, The circus is
officially in town.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Come one, come all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Fun for all ages under the big top we go
in in the Annapolis.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now, not the kind of circus with the cotton candy
and the clown on the little bicycle and the parade
of elephants they used to have back and they not that. No, No,
this particular circus is the Jim Ersay Legacy clown Show
which will be taking over there in Indianapolis, starring the
next generation. We mentioned the Gilded Age, but the next
(22:40):
generation of the football hierarchy there the Ersay daughters take over.
And let's break this down. So the line of secession
appears to be a line of regression.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Not that Jim Irsay was the greatest owner in the world.
He did care.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
He loved being Jim Irsay and being the guy that
didn't really do anything to own the team, just being
born into it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Now the daughters takeover, so it's the third generation.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And as we have preached about from our knightly sermons
here on the bully pulpit. We have mentioned many times
that when you have the family passing on the franchise
to the next generation, they give the keys to the
franchise to the next line, the trust fund group that
(23:37):
takes over. It just doesn't go all that well, right,
It's like, all right, we're gonna hand the franchise over,
the keys to the franchise there to the trust fund
beach house there in the Hamptons or South Beach or wherever,
and just knock yourself out. Now we're heading into the
third generation, if my math is correct, the third generation
of URSA ownership.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It's a family business.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And unlike your mom and pop Pizzeriha, which gets handed
down to the next generation, it's an NFL franchise worth
four point eight billion. Four point eight billion. Good luck, seriously,
good luck to the cole fans. You're supposed to sit
there and just pretend that this is some kind of
beautiful sentimental moment and just tugs at the heartstrings and
(24:23):
so like the next chapter and some kind of rich
person's fairy tale, and how amazing. Of course, I would.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Argue, give me a bleep and break on that right,
I mean, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're watching your franchise get passed around like it's a
breadstick there at olive Garden. There's only one left in
the basket and everyone's trying to grab it and all
that stuff. And so I know in sports there's the
thought that if you have in baseball, if you have
two left fielders, you don't have one. That was the flaught.
Now the nerds think you need to have five left fielders,
but for a long time it was if you have
(24:56):
two left fielders, you don't have one. If you've got
two quarterbacks, you don't have one. So if you have
three owners, you don't really have one. Isn't that the
way it works? Like the mindset and all.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
That that too many chefs spoil the broth. I've heard
that along the.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Way we'll find out.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We'll find out in the coming days and whatnot there.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And generally speaking, old family money, three headed ownership nightmare,
old family money, treating the team like an ATM machine,
And there's a lot of money, petty cash. There's a
lot of cash there. If your family happens to own
an NFL team, it just doesn't go well. My examples
(25:35):
my evidence Genie Buss with the Lakers, horrible owner, most
embarrassing owner in basketball right now? How about Mark Davis
with the Raiders, not exactly lighting the world on fire there?
And there's a bunch of other examples now page two.
So we stay with the team in Indianapolis, but mainly
we go to the injury tent because there was a
new development that came out and we saw this or not.
(25:57):
Despite some early positive reports that everything was going to
be okay, we were skeptical. And it turns out that
a little ounce of skepticism pays off in the end.
We've learned of a setback, a setback for the great
bust of Indianapolis, and not a Hall of Fame bust,
just a bust in the quarterback there.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Is it true? Is it true that Colts quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Anthony Richardson, who should have been drafted in the sixth
or seventh round but was picked in the first round
because Jimmers they had a bug up his took us
and wanted to take him. That Anthony Richardson has a
bum shoulder, and despite those initial reports, despite those initial
reports of optimism, that Anthony Richardson will seek a second
(26:44):
opinion from Surgeon to the Stars Neil elatrosh later this
week in Los Angeles. How does that sound to you?
So I will I will tackle this before you tackle this.
So this is a brochure. It is a brochure for
a nice vacation to the land of trouble, is what
(27:07):
it is.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It sounds to me like someone that does not trust
the medical staff there in Indianapolis. If you trusted the
Colts doctors, you would not be going out and getting
a second opinion on your shoulder.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He's taking outside counsel Anthony Richardson, which would be a
dead giveaway that he thinks there's something more going on
and he doesn't believe the team doctor there with the
Colts and Anthony Richardson is collecting second opinions and maybe
they'll go third and the fourth opinion like Pokemon cards.
He's collecting second and third opinions and all this stuff.
And doctor Elatrash, who replaced doctor Job, who was the
(27:47):
legendary doctor that came up with the Frankenstein like Tommy
John surgery. It's not called the Frank Job surgery. It's
called the Tommy John surgery. Anyway, doctor Elatrash replaced.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Him and as.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The surgeon to the Sports Stars and all that stuff.
And he's the guy that operated on Richardson back in
twenty twenty three on his shoulder. And so that adds
another layer of curiosity here. And I'll tell you why, Okay,
because it was previously again tossed out by the Colts
and people around the Colts that there was no structural
(28:21):
damage to Anthony Richardson's shoulder, that they had a scan
that was performed and it was okay. So if there's
lingering inflammation, if this is an inflammation situation and soreness
and all that two years, two years after the surgical procedure,
that means ding ding ding ding ning alarm bells, alarm bells.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Going woo woooo.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Whoo.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Those are alarm bells.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
You hear them. I can hear them. You get woo
alarm bells right there. Now, I cannot wait for the
third opinion because the smart money says, now, if Anthony
Richardson visited the doctor of the Sports Stars, doctor Latrosh
in Los Angeles, you know who else is in La
doctor Nick Riviera from the Simpsons.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So he can visit doctor Nick Riviera there and when
he's in La and they.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Write the Simpsons episodes, they make them somewhere else, but
they write them in La and so he can go
there and then boom, you're good. All right, now final point.
We head now to the frozen tundra where it's not
so frozen these days. The Green Bay Packers have said
bye bye. They have fired Jaire Alexander, a team captain.
Hey going, JayR Alexander? He has cooked?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Or is he? That's the question. So this guy pretty
popular player, one.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Of the highest ranked defensive players at his position in
the NFL in the last five or six years or so.
So the Packers have fired Jayir Alexander, defensive back. Is
he cooked or ready to cook? Is he cooked or
ready to cook? That's the question. He will find a
(30:05):
new team, someone will sign him, someone will give him
a big bag of money. But is he cooked, JayR Alexander?
Or is he ready to cook? So my advice is
to get the silverware out, to set the table, put
the tablecloth down, put the napkins out.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Because he's cooked.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
All right, He's cooked. That's it. He's got the name,
not the game. Got the name not the game. Seen
a lot of that, And of course I'm concerned because
my Rams are one of the teams that is supposedly
interested in Jayi Alexander, because you can never have enough
a quarter of defensive backs that are teetering on the
brink of falling off the map, and he's a diminished asset. Now,
(30:49):
we have seen players have a career renaissance when they
change teams. The Packers, though, determined that they didn't want
to pay him the contract, which means he was not
earning the contracts in their opinion, So they said, hey,
why don't we give you a pay cut? And he
said go pound sand which I don't have a problem
with him. If you don't want to play for that salary,
(31:10):
go somewhere else. He feels confident he can go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Green Bay also had him on the auctioning block. He
was in the flea market and nobody was bidding. No bidders, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Nobody won. So the cheese heads were like, ah, now,
well we're good, take a hike. We tried to trade
and nobody wanted to.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You don't want to take a pay cut, get the
heck out of here, and don't let the state of
Wisconsin state line kick your ass when you leave her.
So the big reason why after a minutes long malar
investigation is the bugaboo, the injury bug and durability significant concern,
(31:52):
significant concern. There is no durability and Alexander has missed
twenty games over the last two seasons. Now, I didn't
pla play in the NFL, and I'm not some former coach.
I'm just a gas bag. Don't think that's good. Don't
think oh, you're being mean, Ben, I know I'm a
shock jock. Missing twenty days of work when you only
(32:12):
play seventeen.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
A year is not particularly good over a two year period.
You're such a hater. You're a player hater. Okay, I
know I Anyway, he has had.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Back problems, shoulder problems, other injuries. Played only seven games
each of the last two years, and Jaira is twenty.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Eight, which is not old. Not old.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
However, we know what happens when you get close to
thirty or you cross over thirty, and the injuries start
piling up up up like laundry when you don't do
the laundry for a day or two and it piles up,
or you don't do the dishes, and then you get
to like.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
The flies hovering around.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
And they're eating like that that tomato sauce that's on
the plate from the spaghetti that you had, and it's disgusting,
and they're picking at the mac and cheese and they
get the lids just terrible. Uh So you got to
take care of this stuff. And so he will find
a job. We don't doubt that. But generally these guys
get slow, they get soft, and they they're cooked at
that point, and we'll see. We would be surprised if
(33:17):
here Alexander has a career renaissance in some other laundry,
but we'll find out. I'm assuming he'll get a job
here pretty soon. Training camps open up in about a
month and a half from most teams in the NFL,
so he's got a little bit of time to play with.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He's got again, he's got a name. People know who
he is.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Not a lot of defensive players you know who they are,
but even a casual NFL fan would know that name.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
To hear Alexander, be sure to catch live editions of
the Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Here we go, Here we go, to the thirty we go.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
This is one Big Ben gets Grail all right.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Cool WWE superstar Seth Rowlin has some hot NFL takes
and a recent podcast appearance, Rolin says that he thinks
Caleb Williams will have a better season than Jayden Daniels.
This year. He cided better coaching for Williams and a
sophomore slump for Daniels. Now, Ben Williams being better than
Daniels might be ridiculous, But do you think Daniels will
have a sophomore slump?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well, the team formerly knows the Redskins are gonna be
playing a tougher schedule and all that, so.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
You move your mic by way.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The issue here is whether or not they can get
back to the NFC title game. No, I would not
think Washington is getting back to the NFC title game.
So by that account, they will have a worse season
in year two than he did in year one. I'm
not taking my takes from Seth Rolds. I'm skeptical about
Caleb Williams. Still, there's a lot he's got to improve
in a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Next, Craig Kimberle made a very brief return to the
Atlanta Braves, being called up Friday and then sent back
down on Saturday. Braves coach Brian Snicker called Kimberl's scoreless
outing lucky.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Now, that's not nice.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I know, it seems Kimberl's Major league career maybe nearing
its end. Is he a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I mean the issue is the same numbers. He was
a Rookie of the Year. He's made a bunch of
all story.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But if you go by just the pure numbers, yes,
he didn't look like a Hall of Famer, though, I
vote know.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Next, before Kershaw helped lead the Dodgers to a win
over the Cardinals on Sunday, Redbirds attempted to detroy Kershaw
by showing the three on run home run he gave
up in the twenty fourteen NLDS. After the game, Kershaw
called it bush league? Was it bush league?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Ben? No, it's hilarious. Don't give up home runs like that, Tarshaw.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
You run ten years of my life.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
That's a win.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Hold.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Dot com The Way Tire Buying Show. I'd be now.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I could sit here and wax poetic about the Dodgers
beating the Podres and rant and rave about that that's
a random June game in baseball.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think we're gonna focus on that instead.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
The rare and appropriate lead yet again from the puck.
We are talking puck on the raid. That's right, rare
and appropriate. Don't get used to this. So we start
out in South Florida, where as the NBA takes another break.
The basketball players cannot be expected to play all that often.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You know how rigorous it is to play in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My gone anyway, So hockey filling the void. Filling the
void on the schedule are on a Monday night, and
we watched Game three between the Oilers and Panthers tied
up one to one. Couple of overtime thrill us in Alberta,
and now the scenes shifting to the Sunshine State. Now,
(02:46):
I don't know if you're watching this or not. Probably
not based on the ratings, very few people have been
watching this matchup so it is our act of kindness,
a public service for you, a good mitzvah of the
day that we were watching so you would not have to.
And what do we watch, Well, we watched Brad Marshant
(03:07):
do it again. He did it again, he's scored again
for the team from Florida. And Sam Bennett, how do
you do? He got it done again, each scoring goals.
Florida striking oil as they take care and beat off
the hapless Edmonton hockey team six to one on Monday night.
(03:28):
So now it is a two games to one series
lead for the team from Florida and that series, Now
will it go all the way? Will Edmonton bounce back?
Suddenly a pivotal pivotal well not suddenly. Usually it's two
to one going to game four. Game four massive for
the team trailing three games to one if they lose
(03:49):
that game. And so the story er you had the
Florida domination situation as they led this game from soup
to nuts. Brad Marshanti x bruin the oldest player to
score in each of the first three games of a
Stanley Cup final with that goal there and Sam Bennett,
the NHL playoff leading fourteenth goal, which I'm told is good.
(04:10):
I didn't play hockey, but I'm told that's pretty good.
When you lead the entire league in playoff goals, you've
done something right. So good for him. And the better story, though,
is in the losing locker room, so that is where
we were focused. We're going to focus on that. As
you know, I like the good story. The good story
here is the man that has been one of the
faces of hockey for the last decade not getting that
(04:34):
check next to his name on the Pro Hockey websites.
The stat websites were Connor McDavid not winning a Stanley
Cup lost last year. Here's another opportunity, the same rematch
situation here. So the oiler star Connor McDavid, who did
Bupkus in this game. But he did speak to the
(04:55):
assembled media after the game, and Connor McDavid said that
he believes the best version of the oilers will arrive eventually.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, well that's good. They're gonna arvive eventually, he said.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't think our best has shown up all series along,
but it's coming, he stated, So let us discuss. That's
the quote that we're gonna work with, and we're gonna
chop that up and parts the words of Connor McDavid
and get into some hot hockey talk, hot hockey talk.
So the question Connor mcdavie saying, the Oilers have not
(05:29):
played their best against the Panthers so.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Far, but it's coming. Do you believe him? Do you
believe him?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So on this one, I've got Amazon Prime, Jimmy Hendrix
and Panhandle and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to put the biscuit in
the basket, something the Oilers only did one time in
this game, as they lose by five goals, going down
six to one. So the first thought is the obvious one.
It's an odd juxtaposition from Connor McDavid to say, well,
(06:03):
it's coming, it's gonna be there, We're gonna be okay, right,
we believe, we believe. Of course you've got to say
that to some degree. We get that you have to
say that. But as Yogi Bear, the late Great Yogi
Bear famously said, it's getting very late early out here.
It's getting very late early out here. You are, by
my count, forty two percent into the Stanley Cup Final.
(06:26):
That's assuming he goes seven games that's assuming he goes
seven games, so forty two percent into the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
What exactly are you waiting for? Like, what are you
waiting for?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Did you get lost somewhere? It's coming, Dodd, trust us,
it's coming. It's going to happen right like a thunderstorm
out in the distance. You see the clouds out, it's coming.
That storm's coming. Now maybe it'll change directions, but it's coming.
This Jor's coming this way. So it's a promissory note
from Connor McDavid that hey, hey, it's gonna work out.
(06:59):
Can possible be wrong? Now, he didn't throw the word
in there butt, And as you know, everything before the
word but is bull crap. Everything before the word butt
is bull crap. So if you look at the quote here,
I don't think our best has shown up all series long,
but it's coming.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
See.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I would argue that Edmonton should have won the first
two games of the series, should be up two to one,
and then they they obviously they lost the second game
in double overtime, and then this this game, they.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Just did not show up.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So I would argue that things are going the wrong
direction here, not the right direction for the team.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
From Canada.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If Connor McDavid is promising it like he says he is,
is this like an Amazon Prime thing, like it's going
to be here in a couple of days, just wait
for it. You know, going to get it too in
less than two business days. You'll get your your better
performance here now. Unfortunately, as betten a way around this,
all of professional sports is a results based situation. You
(07:58):
are judged by actual production, like how do you actually
do it? McDavid had not one, but two more shots
on goal than you had two.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
He had no goals, no assists.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And his accomplice here Leon Drsidel for the Oilers, the
other big star.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
He's a top ten player.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Also he had a cardio game as well for the
Oilers there in terms of points, both skating circles in
circles there as the goaltending the defense for Edmonton. As
opponent there Florida Serye Babrovsky eating their lunch in this game,
the two big stars, and now you have Connor McDavid
(08:39):
out there throwing out wishful thinking as a game plan,
which generally speaking is not a great idea.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's not a great idea. It's the Cup Final.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And I certainly enjoy a good theoretical argument as much
as the next person, Like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We don't care what's coming. That doesn't do anything for
us here.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What's here in the present is the Panthers are playing
winning hockey. And the Panthers are going the right direction
and the Oilers are going the opposite direction. Now, speaking
of that, page two, and you know we love to
break down the losing locker room. So it's two to one,
(09:24):
it's three games, it's the first two. Could not get
any closer, going to overtime, this game of blowout in
Game three of the Stanley Cup Finals. So should Edmonton
be worried after this Game three no show situation? So
the Mallor paniczero meter has been activated. The Mallor Panicometer.
(09:44):
We dusted it off, and here it is. Mallord Panicometer
one to ten, with ten being a ballistic missile coming inbound,
Seek immediate shelter.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That's a ten for the the Oilers.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm at at eight point five. I'm at an eight
point five. And here's why. The arrow is pointing down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down. It's like a Jimmy Hendricks tune. Mister
bad luck, that's what it is. You're mister bad luck.
You had the glass slipper break. The real Stewart Skinner
stood up in that there, the guy that was a
(10:24):
bag of suck, and well he had been playing well
and then he goes out there.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He was so bad?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
How bad was he? He was so bad?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
He got pulled. That's not particularly good.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He got binged after a long not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, well actually five five
goals on twenty three shots. We mentioned Leon Drysidel Connor
McDavid both having cardio games. They had no points, no
points in this game, and and so the game turned
into a gong show, which I kind of like by
(10:55):
and it's by everything's by modern reference. Like I, as
you may know, my younger days, I covered hockey, you know,
as a radio stringer. So I went to a lot
of hockey games, believe it or not, many many years ago.
And I was in the era where they'd still drop
the puck and then you'd have your goon Stu Grimson
or somebody like that, ty Dolemy get into a dust
(11:18):
up and they'd start fighting right after they dropped the puck,
like that was when I was around hockey, so I
know they don't really do that anymore. It's taboo. You
must love each other, no fighting. You may have got
a concussion, but it wasn't to that degree. But it
was a gong show type situation because Edmonton had twenty
one penalties for in eighty five minutes of time. With
(11:40):
the penalties and all that stuff, and the Panthers made
them pay on all of them. They scored three goals
on powerplay, so three of the six goals were scored
on the power play, which by my math is fifty percent.
That's what that is, fifty percent. And it was the
we can't beat them, so let's try to beat them
up mantra. It's like, well, we're not gonna win the game,
(12:01):
but let's try it up. Let's shot up, give him
some bruises. We'll see if we can bruise them up
a little bit. The gloves off philosophy. Oh Gary Bettman
must have been so upset. Oh my god, haymaker fest goon.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Up, goon up, goot it up, goot it up, gooon
it up, goot it up. All right now, last word.
So I thought this was amusing. I wanted to. I
jotted this down, I found the audio, so we're gonna
play the audio.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So normally, these mid game interviews in sports are a
complete waste of time.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Percent of the time they suck. It's the person that
does it doesn't want to do it. The questions are dumb,
the answers are just cliches. It's a waste of time.
Every once in a while, like in baseball over the weekend,
you had Jazz Chisholm make an error because he was
miked up. At least that's the theory that he made
the mistake because he was miked up and he was
(12:55):
trying to play grab ass with some idiots on television.
And then in Game three of this Stanley Cup Final,
I thought this was one of the great moments I've
seen in game interviews. Let's take it out. If you
didn't want watching the game, we've got the audio. We're
gonna play. I really like this guy, Paul Maurice, the
coach of the Florida Panthers. He was very good last
year in audio. And that's really all I care about.
(13:15):
That's all I I mean. I'm just in it for
the audio. I'm just in it for the clips.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And so Paul Maurice was in games slobbery all over
Sam Bennett of his team there and his performance. He
made a couple of big plays early in that game.
This was a.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Second period interview, So let me set this up the
right way. So it's a second period, mid game, second
period interview. Paul Maurice, the Florida coach there, slobber, slabber,
slobbery all over Sam Bennett's performance. And then the report
I don't know who this woman is for Turner. She
brought up the fact that Sam Bennett's gonna be a
free agent, and she made some comment about him getting
(13:56):
a lot of money, and I want you to listen
to how Paul Maurice handled that and the quick change
in response.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Let's go to the audio tape, Tiglas.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I'm Bennett with two big hits in the D zone
and a highlight reel goal in the amzon is not
a coach's dream shift or what well.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
He sold it all over the ice, but he doesn't
chieve the game for the two goals that he's under fox.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He does all the hard right things and.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Not so Sue he is.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
I don't think his agent's gonna have to work that
hard this summer.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
But I'll move on a horrible attitude.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think it's got your bonic plague.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I see what you're doing, the nang fever. He's got
a whole bunch of things.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
We're not sure you get me cured.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Play the game, Paul, play the game.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Thank you for this.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So if you didn't hear that he was waxing loquations
about how great Sam Bennett was and then when the
fact that he's going to be a free agent and
all that stuff he mentioned, I believe the bubonic plague
and the dnang fever, which you know is not normally
brought up, not normally brought up the denaying finger fever
(14:54):
along with the bubonic plague. I thought that was great
and it was just just wonderful. So let us let's
discuss this. So what is the word? What is the
word for Florida coach Palmerice midgame interview and his pivot
while talking about Sam Bennett and his free agency.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
So this is the.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Panhandle. My word, though, is dead pan? I say panhanded.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
My word is actually deadpan because it was comedy gold.
It was wonderful He did not miss a beat. He
had the same tone. His tone did not change, deadpan delivery.
It was brilliant and that's the key. It's comedy, comedy gold.
You say the absurd thing and you are in a
(15:42):
completely serious tone.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Take play it again. I want to play it again
on here.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
This is I'm Bennett with two big hits in the
d zone and a highlight reel goal in the Arizona
is not a coach's dream shift.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Or what well.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
He sold it all over the ice, but he doesn't
chieve the game for the two goals that he's under.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Fox does all the hard right things.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
That I don't think it's agent's gonna have to work
that hard this summer.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
But I'll move on a horrible attitude.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I think it's got javonic players.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Play the game, Paul, play the game.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Thank you for this. There you go. That's outstanding. That
to live we need more of that. And so as
I was making my long drive.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In from the north Woods into the main studio here,
I was thinking, these hockey coaches are under the radar. Hilarious.
And I don't make lists. As you know, I don't
do list. If you do list, you're irrelevant. But on
Big Ben's big board, which is not a list. If
Terry and England's listening not a list. I gotta tell you,
(16:44):
hockey coaches funniest coaches we have, are they not? He
and I can't name most of them, but they're really funny,
like baseball managers are just.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
They's nothing, there's nothing fun about them. They always have
a stick up.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
It took us right.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Most football coaches are not that fun. I would say, though.
Football coaches are behind hockey a distance second. And a
lot of the basketball coaches take themselves too seriously and
they're not that. They're not that amusing. I side throw that.
Throw that out there, good sense of humor. My favorite
(17:23):
he's not coaching right now, but John Tortorella. We sucked
at a time we could not suck, which is to me,
the gold standard of postgame quote.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's all you need.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
We sucked at a time you cannot suck, which sums
everything up, and that's all that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Throwing Horseshoes and hoping for the best.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Bhlor Show.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
We are in the air everywhere, denizens, as we are
millions and millions of miles away, unless we're right in
your head right now, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and scorchingly powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Amminating live from the Hammer the Sledgehammer as we are
the Sledgehammer Squad from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Jonathan and Delaware, and this portion of the
Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Rack. For over forty years. Forty years, tire
(18:41):
Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, chip fast and free, backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com the way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour is from Indianapolis,
The Changing of the Guard. Now we're not gonna go
(19:03):
to the NBA Finals because they're on hiatus. Can't work
too hard in a basketball life. Gotta have a lot
of time off. Otherwise the players bitch and we don't
want them complaining. So obviously traveling by stage coach between
Oklahoma and Indiana.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But we'll stay with the theme.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The Indianapolis football team, the pro football team in town,
making some news on a random day in relatively early June.
Relatively early June, you might have seen this, maybe not.
The Colts have gone from having one owner to having
not one, not two, but three three owners now. Jim
(19:47):
Mercede died, dropped dead there in late May. He was
a young young man. For most people say sixty five,
you should live longer than that. But he was sixty
five and had a hard life and he checked out.
So ERSA Jim Irsay done and the NFL franchise announcing
(20:07):
that the chain of command the official transition phase as
they go from the Gilded Age to a different gilded age.
Jim Irsay's three daughters, which sounds like a reality show,
are going to take over.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show,
but it is now reality. The Triumvirent is going to
be carterly Ersay, Gordon Casey Foyt, and Kaylin Jackson. They
will all have leadership roles with the Indianapolis Colts and
that continues the Ursay bloodline. Fifty plus years of ownership,
(20:46):
and boy, nobody loves Ersay more than the people of
Baltimore and what he did for their fine set of
the old man, you know, Jim Irsay's dad.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
So that's where we are now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We're told Carterly Ersay Gordon, who's forty four, will assume
the title as the CEO and principal owner.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
However, however, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
If you've got siblings, you know that there will be
a sibling rivalry in play. The other sisters will be
involved and they will have a say in the eyes
of the NFL. The oldest one, Carli Ersa Gordon, will
be the one that is the owner. I'll see how
this plays out. So let us discuss the question for
the Esteem panel. What is your verdict on this transition
(21:31):
of Colts ownership from Jim Mersay.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Who died to the three daughters.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So I've got olive garden, Pokemon cards, and silverware, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the surf and turf at Saint
Elmo's Steakhouse there in Indianapolis, where we'll always they always
get on TV because the broadcasters they love going there
and getting the surf and turf at the steakhouse there
(21:59):
in indian Anapolis. But my thought on this, my first thought,
which as we know is number one, The circus is
officially in town.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Come one, come all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Fun for all ages under the big top we go
in in the Annapolis.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now, not the kind of circus with the cotton candy
and the clown on the little bicycle and the parade
of elephants they used to have back and they not that. No, No,
this particular circus is the Jim Ersay Legacy clown Show
which will be taking over there in Indianapolis, starring the
next generation. We mentioned the Gilded Age, but the next
(22:40):
generation of the football hierarchy there the Ersay daughters take over.
And let's break this down. So the line of secession
appears to be a line of regression.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Not that Jim Irsay was the greatest owner in the world.
He did care.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
He loved being Jim Irsay and being the guy that
didn't really do anything to own the team, just being
born into it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Now the daughters takeover, so it's the third generation.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And as we have preached about from our knightly sermons
here on the bully pulpit. We have mentioned many times
that when you have the family passing on the franchise
to the next generation, they give the keys to the
franchise to the next line, the trust fund group that
(23:37):
takes over. It just doesn't go all that well, right,
It's like, all right, we're gonna hand the franchise over,
the keys to the franchise there to the trust fund
beach house there in the Hamptons or South Beach or wherever,
and just knock yourself out. Now we're heading into the
third generation, if my math is correct, the third generation
of URSA ownership.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It's a family business.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And unlike your mom and pop Pizzeriha, which gets handed
down to the next generation, it's an NFL franchise worth
four point eight billion. Four point eight billion. Good luck, seriously,
good luck to the cole fans. You're supposed to sit
there and just pretend that this is some kind of
beautiful sentimental moment and just tugs at the heartstrings and
(24:23):
so like the next chapter and some kind of rich
person's fairy tale, and how amazing. Of course, I would.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Argue, give me a bleep and break on that right,
I mean, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're watching your franchise get passed around like it's a
breadstick there at olive Garden. There's only one left in
the basket and everyone's trying to grab it and all
that stuff. And so I know in sports there's the
thought that if you have in baseball, if you have
two left fielders, you don't have one. That was the flaught.
Now the nerds think you need to have five left fielders,
but for a long time it was if you have
(24:56):
two left fielders, you don't have one. If you've got
two quarterbacks, you don't have one. So if you have
three owners, you don't really have one. Isn't that the
way it works? Like the mindset and all.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
That that too many chefs spoil the broth. I've heard
that along the.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Way we'll find out.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We'll find out in the coming days and whatnot there.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And generally speaking, old family money, three headed ownership nightmare,
old family money, treating the team like an ATM machine,
And there's a lot of money, petty cash. There's a
lot of cash there. If your family happens to own
an NFL team, it just doesn't go well. My examples
(25:35):
my evidence Genie Buss with the Lakers, horrible owner, most
embarrassing owner in basketball right now? How about Mark Davis
with the Raiders, not exactly lighting the world on fire there?
And there's a bunch of other examples now page two.
So we stay with the team in Indianapolis, but mainly
we go to the injury tent because there was a
new development that came out and we saw this or not.
(25:57):
Despite some early positive reports that everything was going to
be okay, we were skeptical. And it turns out that
a little ounce of skepticism pays off in the end.
We've learned of a setback, a setback for the great
bust of Indianapolis, and not a Hall of Fame bust,
just a bust in the quarterback there.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Is it true? Is it true that Colts quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Anthony Richardson, who should have been drafted in the sixth
or seventh round but was picked in the first round
because Jimmers they had a bug up his took us
and wanted to take him. That Anthony Richardson has a
bum shoulder, and despite those initial reports, despite those initial
reports of optimism, that Anthony Richardson will seek a second
(26:44):
opinion from Surgeon to the Stars Neil elatrosh later this
week in Los Angeles. How does that sound to you?
So I will I will tackle this before you tackle this.
So this is a brochure. It is a brochure for
a nice vacation to the land of trouble, is what
(27:07):
it is.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It sounds to me like someone that does not trust
the medical staff there in Indianapolis. If you trusted the
Colts doctors, you would not be going out and getting
a second opinion on your shoulder.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He's taking outside counsel Anthony Richardson, which would be a
dead giveaway that he thinks there's something more going on
and he doesn't believe the team doctor there with the
Colts and Anthony Richardson is collecting second opinions and maybe
they'll go third and the fourth opinion like Pokemon cards.
He's collecting second and third opinions and all this stuff.
And doctor Elatrash, who replaced doctor Job, who was the
(27:47):
legendary doctor that came up with the Frankenstein like Tommy
John surgery. It's not called the Frank Job surgery. It's
called the Tommy John surgery. Anyway, doctor Elatrash replaced.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Him and as.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The surgeon to the Sports Stars and all that stuff.
And he's the guy that operated on Richardson back in
twenty twenty three on his shoulder. And so that adds
another layer of curiosity here. And I'll tell you why, Okay,
because it was previously again tossed out by the Colts
and people around the Colts that there was no structural
(28:21):
damage to Anthony Richardson's shoulder, that they had a scan
that was performed and it was okay. So if there's
lingering inflammation, if this is an inflammation situation and soreness
and all that two years, two years after the surgical procedure,
that means ding ding ding ding ning alarm bells, alarm bells.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Going woo woooo.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Whoo.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Those are alarm bells.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
You hear them. I can hear them. You get woo
alarm bells right there. Now, I cannot wait for the
third opinion because the smart money says, now, if Anthony
Richardson visited the doctor of the Sports Stars, doctor Latrosh
in Los Angeles, you know who else is in La
doctor Nick Riviera from the Simpsons.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So he can visit doctor Nick Riviera there and when
he's in La and they.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Write the Simpsons episodes, they make them somewhere else, but
they write them in La and so he can go
there and then boom, you're good. All right, now final point.
We head now to the frozen tundra where it's not
so frozen these days. The Green Bay Packers have said
bye bye. They have fired Jaire Alexander, a team captain.
Hey going, JayR Alexander? He has cooked?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Or is he? That's the question. So this guy pretty
popular player, one.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Of the highest ranked defensive players at his position in
the NFL in the last five or six years or so.
So the Packers have fired Jayir Alexander, defensive back. Is
he cooked or ready to cook? Is he cooked or
ready to cook? That's the question. He will find a
(30:05):
new team, someone will sign him, someone will give him
a big bag of money. But is he cooked, JayR Alexander?
Or is he ready to cook? So my advice is
to get the silverware out, to set the table, put
the tablecloth down, put the napkins out.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Because he's cooked.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
All right, He's cooked. That's it. He's got the name,
not the game. Got the name not the game. Seen
a lot of that, And of course I'm concerned because
my Rams are one of the teams that is supposedly
interested in Jayi Alexander, because you can never have enough
a quarter of defensive backs that are teetering on the
brink of falling off the map, and he's a diminished asset. Now,
(30:49):
we have seen players have a career renaissance when they
change teams. The Packers, though, determined that they didn't want
to pay him the contract, which means he was not
earning the contracts in their opinion, So they said, hey,
why don't we give you a pay cut? And he
said go pound sand which I don't have a problem
with him. If you don't want to play for that salary,
(31:10):
go somewhere else. He feels confident he can go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Green Bay also had him on the auctioning block. He
was in the flea market and nobody was bidding. No bidders, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Nobody won. So the cheese heads were like, ah, now,
well we're good, take a hike. We tried to trade
and nobody wanted to.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You don't want to take a pay cut, get the
heck out of here, and don't let the state of
Wisconsin state line kick your ass when you leave her.
So the big reason why after a minutes long malar
investigation is the bugaboo, the injury bug and durability significant concern,
(31:52):
significant concern. There is no durability and Alexander has missed
twenty games over the last two seasons. Now, I didn't
pla play in the NFL, and I'm not some former coach.
I'm just a gas bag. Don't think that's good. Don't
think oh, you're being mean, Ben, I know I'm a
shock jock. Missing twenty days of work when you only
(32:12):
play seventeen.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
A year is not particularly good over a two year period.
You're such a hater. You're a player hater. Okay, I
know I Anyway, he has had.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Back problems, shoulder problems, other injuries. Played only seven games
each of the last two years, and Jaira is twenty.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Eight, which is not old. Not old.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
However, we know what happens when you get close to
thirty or you cross over thirty, and the injuries start
piling up up up like laundry when you don't do
the laundry for a day or two and it piles up,
or you don't do the dishes, and then you get
to like.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
The flies hovering around.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
And they're eating like that that tomato sauce that's on
the plate from the spaghetti that you had, and it's disgusting,
and they're picking at the mac and cheese and they
get the lids just terrible. Uh So you got to
take care of this stuff. And so he will find
a job. We don't doubt that. But generally these guys
get slow, they get soft, and they they're cooked at
that point, and we'll see. We would be surprised if
(33:17):
here Alexander has a career renaissance in some other laundry,
but we'll find out. I'm assuming he'll get a job
here pretty soon. Training camps open up in about a
month and a half from most teams in the NFL,
so he's got a little bit of time to play with.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He's got again, he's got a name. People know who
he is.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Not a lot of defensive players you know who they are,
but even a casual NFL fan would know that name.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
To hear Alexander, be sure to catch live editions of
the Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Here we go, Here we go, to the thirty we go.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
This is one Big Ben gets Grail all right.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Cool WWE superstar Seth Rowlin has some hot NFL takes
and a recent podcast appearance, Rolin says that he thinks
Caleb Williams will have a better season than Jayden Daniels.
This year. He cided better coaching for Williams and a
sophomore slump for Daniels. Now, Ben Williams being better than
Daniels might be ridiculous, But do you think Daniels will
have a sophomore slump?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well, the team formerly knows the Redskins are gonna be
playing a tougher schedule and all that, so.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
You move your mic by way.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The issue here is whether or not they can get
back to the NFC title game. No, I would not
think Washington is getting back to the NFC title game.
So by that account, they will have a worse season
in year two than he did in year one. I'm
not taking my takes from Seth Rolds. I'm skeptical about
Caleb Williams. Still, there's a lot he's got to improve
in a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Next, Craig Kimberle made a very brief return to the
Atlanta Braves, being called up Friday and then sent back
down on Saturday. Braves coach Brian Snicker called Kimberl's scoreless
outing lucky.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Now, that's not nice.

Next, before Kershaw helped lead the Dodgers to a win
