Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show,
one after another after another after another.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We are in the air everywhere you listen, and we.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Talk talk talk, talk, talk talk.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We have a bandaid approach coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and classically powerful

(01:59):
Way Tire Show b So our lead this hour is
from the sun rise, not the sunset. The sun rise,
that's right. The rare and appropriate another rare and appropriate
hockey monologue. Do not get used to this. Do not
get used to this. I'm telling you, do not get
(02:20):
used to it. But about thirty seven miles away from
downtown Miami and just a short drive away from FSR
alumni legend, the amazing Vladimir who used to be my engineer.
He lives in Miami, the great amazing Vladimir. So on
the edge of the Florida Everglades. Right there that was
the frozen sandbox game number four of the.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Stanley Cup Final. Look, we got our own button.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
There the Panthers, as you know, because you're a good
hockey fan looking to take a commanding three games to
one lead over the Oilers. Were you watching, I've seen
the ratings. You were not watching.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I know you weren't watching. Don't lie to me. You
were not watching.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I watched for you. It's our public service, it's our
good mitzvah. So the game went to over time and
Leon dry sidle at the lamp game winner and the
overtime and Edmondson, Oh got out. Edmonton beats Florida five
(03:22):
to four in Game four Stanley Cup Final on a
random Thursday night in June. So that series tied up
two to two. They erased a not one, not two,
but three cold deficit. They were down three to nothing
at the end of the first period. They bounced back
and they did allow a late game time goal, but
(03:44):
the Oilers, who took the lead for the first time,
Jake Wallman scoring the goal, was six twenty four left
in the third period. But then it was Sam reinhard boy,
this you start about a dagger with less than twenty
seconds to go on the clock, he sent the game
to overtime. And that means, now, if you're keeping scorer,
and I know you're not. Three of the first four
(04:04):
games of this final have gone to bonus time to
settle the outcome. And that's the first time that has
happened in over a decade. You got to go back
to twenty thirteen is fifth time in NHL history the
game winner by dry sidle eleven eighteen into the overtime
and everyone gets on a plane, a chartered flight, and
(04:26):
flies back to Western Canada, all even up.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Game five. Game five of a back and.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Forth dueling piano matchup will be on Saturday, and that
is a night that we do not do not get in.
And now we do do the podcast on the weekend,
but we don't do live radio on the weekend. So
I'll be watching, but I will not be bloviating about that.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
So let us discuss the question who gets the finger
(04:55):
of blame and shame.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
For the Florida pay anthers in this one.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So my thoughts on this, I've got Ronko Showtime, Rotisseriy, Oxygen,
and Peacock, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some donuts, some
delicious donuts, so everyone can enjoy a nice suite.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right, So a.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm going to approach this like a classic game show.
The price is right. So when you ask the question
who gets the finger of blame and shame for the
Florida Panthers, my answer is the price is right.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Sergey Bobrovsky, come on down. Yeah it was. It was
like a Ted talk gone bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And this is why we point out that stats tell
you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Right,
And this is like a again, a Ted talk that
just kind of went side. Was when you break these
teams down, even if you're a novice hockey person, you
will say, this is a strength.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Over here, this is a weakness over here, and is it.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, there's no way that a team as good as
Florida at home will be spotted a three to nothing
lead and blow that game. In fact, it had never
happened before. That's why they play the games. The Florida franchise,
not a elite franchise, not a popular franchise nationally, but
the Panthers had never ever puked up a three to
(06:28):
nothing lead in the postseason entering the game. In fact,
teams were thirty seven and zero when leading in the
Stanley Cup Final, thirty seven and oh when leading in
the Stanley Cup Final by three or more goals in
the first period.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And now it is thirty seven and one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You can forget that stat And Bobrovski was supposed to
be the cream of the crop, head and shoulders above.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
All the rest in that so good.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He was like a ron Pull po Ronko showtime Rotisseri
infomercial back in the day. Set it and forget it.
And he started out the game final. The game was
pretty much dominated by by Florida in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I say, you get three to nothing lead.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But Bobrovsky seven for seven, and say, it's not that
many shots by Edmonton in the first period, and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So after that, don't ask, don't tell, right, how about.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
We will tell because this talk radio Edmonton scored not one,
not two, not three, not four, five goals on the
next twenty eight shots. Now, my computer like brain tells
me using malardmath that Bobrovsky after the first period from
that point in the game, so second period, third period,
and overtime, Bobrovsky had a saved percentage of about eighty
(07:46):
two percent. Now, I didn't play in the NHL, and
I just hosted an overnight talk show that blows.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, that blows.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Bobrovsky for some reason, thought he was the pilot and
he wanted to fly and he ended up flying the
vomit comet.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The Florida offense. Also, I mean, even go on on it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
There's other people suspended animation three goal lead. They only
got one kind of fluky late goal as we mentioned there,
with less than twenty seconds to go to force the overtime. Now,
the other part of this year, as we do our
in depth breakdown that nobody else has on Stanley Cup
Final game number four, So what does that outcome for Edmonton?
(08:26):
What does that do for Connor McDavid, Leon Dry Sidle
and the Oilers. So the first thing is rather obvious,
I jotted this down on my notes app on my iPhone,
is that it gives them oxygen that allows them to
take a step back and you kind of take a
deep breath here, and they were about to go on
life support. They were trying to get a hold of
(08:47):
some members of the clergy to come in there and
give last rites to the Oilers had they lost that game,
but you're down three goals with thirty twenty minutes gone,
forty minutes to go, and then you end up winning
an overtime. It had Stanford banned vibes. It had Stanford
banded vibes. One of the most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heartrending, exciting,
(09:08):
thrilling comebacks.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So the Oilers to put it into context here, the
Oilers are the first well there's second team, but the
first team in over one hundred years to do that
on the road to overcome a three gold deficit in
the Stanley Cup Final to win. The only other time
it happened was when no one was watching and the
Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The HAPs got it done back in nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Back back in the day in game three. Now this
is also a refresher course.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Now what don't mean by that? A refresher course.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So, if you've listened to the show for some time,
we used to have a caller, regular caller.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I love this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I thought it was one of the great callers on
the show, and we lost him to the dreaded day shift.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Uncle Moe.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Now Uncle Moe is a radio caller in Brooklyn. Uncle
Moe in sports doesn't exist. It does not exist.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And this is a.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Textbook example, and it verifies that long.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Standing belief that I've had because.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
The Panthers, if you follow the logic, this simpleton logic
of momentum, the hockey team from Florida had all the momentum,
meant all of it. I three to nothing lead at home.
Better goaltender, you got it. Hide choke factor for Edmonton.
You have everything your favor. They had all the moment
(10:30):
Why would they lose.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
They can't lose. They had all the momentum. Why would
they give them momentum up? Because it doesn't exist. That's why.
Now more impressive.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The Lion's share of the comeback was by the flotsam
and jetsum of that hockey team, and it was not
the Connor McDavid and Leon dry Sidle that did the
heavy lifting for the bulk of the comeback and the
game winner. Yeah, I went to dry Sidle and all that,
but the other four goals were not scored by David
(11:00):
or dry Title.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And then you had Stuart Skinner. There was this.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Debate among the hockey people, and they were like, wow,
should this guy start because you kind of kind of
sucked the last game?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Should Stewart's you inter being goal?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And then it's like, well, you got to you gotta
dance with the one that you brought to the dance,
And so they brought Stuart Skinner in.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
They started him, and then.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
In the first intermission the coach there this guy now
block not Chuck knob Block, Chrisnoblock. He sent Skinner to
Siberia on one way ticket to Siberia and said get
out of here, and said, wow, it's better late than ever,
but we suck and we need to change. And so
they went to the backup, somebody named Calvin Pickard. It
(11:39):
sounds like a guy who would try to sell you
something knocking on your door, say I got a bag
of crap, you want to buy something here. But Calvin
Picker had just a journeyman goaltender, bounced all over the
place and he came off the bench. He faced twenty
three shots, stop all but one of them, including if
you watched the overtime was there was one of those
(12:00):
a deep breath moments where Sam Bennett should have won
the game, could have won the game, but didn't win
the game because of the save there by picker. All right,
now last word here, So turning the page, you've got
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
TETA. They made a surprise appearance. Mg m G.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now this became a trending topic. You know how hard
it is to get hockey to be a trending topic
on social media. It's just almost impossible. But there they were,
Taylor Swift and Travis kelce making an unexpected appearance at
Stanley Cup Final game number four.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So on the Mallards scorecard, which is the scorecard record,
it is not a big deal, is not a little deal.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It is not no deal. It is a massive flex,
is what it is. Right, it is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Pump your chest out because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey
common deered the night right and the NHL in general
has this awe shocks man. You know, we're not as
popular as the other sports kind of mindset, but the
brass at the NHL on this night can strut around
like a peacock r They can have their feathers in
(13:22):
the air.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Everywhere, and you get to the side by side.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know the NBA, which is built on star power,
pro bouncy ball, star power, celebrities.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
All the cool kids love the NBA, and.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The biggest stars to attend the NBA Finals this year
are Adam Silver and Meadow World Peace period hard stop.
So Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce having I don't know,
was it a date night at a hockey game. I
don't know what they were doing. They're fussing around there,
but that's star power that overshadowed the.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Hockey and you know they kept away there.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
There was a media frenzy, a social media frenzy, and
so forget hockey night, it's a swifty night and constant
cutaways from the ice.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
TNT treating this like a.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Concert tour stop for Taylor Swift, that she had an
unexpected concert there. And I guess I've been staying down
there in the Miami area this last couple of months,
not that I knew that prior to reading a story
and the tabloids about it, like why were they there?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But apparently they're.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
There anyway, and there obviously were there. I unless that
was a deep fake, they were there.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller

Speaker 1 (14:42):
What can Brown do for you? Well, if you're a lawyer,

beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Listen and relax. That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:01):

and beyond on the mast and harmonically powerful microphones of
FSR and monating live from.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
The market, the flea market of.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Wheeling and dealing on the Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Charlie in Wisconsin. Charlie's like, you know, I
kind of like that. And this portion of the Ben
Malor Show on Fox made possible in part by our friends.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
At ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Mister nice guy knew that, and our friend Big Daddy
there in.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Memphis with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Thumbs
up over there for mister irrigation. Ty IRAQ dot com
the Way Tire Buying show.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So our lead.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
This is from the police blotter. The police blotter. We
haven't had a good sports trial in a while. You're
a fan of trials. We might have that an NFL
legend from years gone by in some hot water if
you have not heard, perhaps not a stunning juxta position
(16:23):
from where he was a few years ago. Antonio Brown,
the former Pittsburg Steeler, Antonio Brown, is now a wanted
man in Miami Dade County. Antonio Brown, what did he
do well? He's wanted for attempted murder charges. That seems
(16:44):
like a rather serious crime.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Attempted murder.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And this all stems from an incident we talked about
a little bit when it happened about a month ago
in May May sixteenth, a celebrity boxing event in the
Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami and police say that Antonio
Brown decided he was an action hero. I added that
(17:07):
part grabbed the gun of a security officer, ran towards
another man, and fired at least two shots. Now, one
of those shots came very very close to ending the
life of one of the people. Grazed the neck if
it had gone through the neck turn out the last
(17:30):
the parties over. Now, a judge issued a warrant, setting
a ten thousand dollars bond and ordering Antonio Brown to
remain under house arrest and at last report, from what
we have been able to decipher, he is still out there,
Antonio Brown.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Will he leave the country? Will Antonio Brown become a
fugitive from justice? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Developing hot dot dot dot, So let us discuss. It's
an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The question. We're gonna frame it this way.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So the cops in Miami, the authorities there, are seeking
to arrest Antonio Brown, the former NFL player, Antonio Brown,
on a charge of attempted murder. Your thoughts on these developments,
Your thoughts on these latest developments. So I've got microscope,
motown and police escort, and we will combine all of
(18:24):
these things together, and it's gonna be just like hurting frogs,
just like we're hurting frogs. Yeah, So numb burr, let
me try that again, numb bur.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Bunkers, This story is bunkers. It is now Antonio Brown's
camp has I say camps mostly just him. But the
contention is that Hey, listen, Brown was the person who
was the victim here.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
He was jumped.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
He acted in self defense, claiming he was detained and
then released at the time he said they released me.
In fact, supposedly that night, the night of the shooting,
they released him. He went back to the event. So
he said, Ah, I'm not going home.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'll go to the vent. Now here's the here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's go to the videotape, the surveillance, surveillance video, the
cell phone videos.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Also, if you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Believe the initial reporting, they claim to show a much
different story than Antonio Brown's version of events. That Brown
was punching a guy, grabbed the security officer's weapon.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And bang bang.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, the legal stakes on this are ginormous, as you
might imagine. That's this is not your Hey, I got
caught with the I parked my car illegally and I
got a.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Ticket, or I got busted for jaywalking.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
This is a tempted murder and so attempted murder with
a firearm is a serious felony. And depending on the
exact charges, which we have not seen yet, you're looking
at decades decades in prison. So how will this play out?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Now we don't know how it's gonna play out.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
However, I am a distant relative of Nostra Damis and
friend of Nostradinas.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He lives in Seattle, and.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
As someone who is all knowing, all powerful, omnipresent when
it comes to these kind of stories, Antonio Brown is
going to pull out a bugle and he's gonna call
in the cavalry.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Antonio Brown, He's going.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To invoke the legal gods will come down from the
heavens here, and that means a celebrity lawyer here, a
celebrity lawyer there, a celebrity lawyer everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They're gonna enter the chat. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
From what we know right now, based on the available information,
it is going to come down to perception of the video, right,
It's gonna come down to how do you interpret the
cell phone video?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
How do you interpret all the different footage they.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Have because everything was recorded, so the Malard microscope, under
the Malar microscope, we're looking at a frame by frame
z the Bruder film style breakdown where each side will
bring in legal experts to methodically analyze the clips and
explain why this.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Is wrong and this is guilty.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And Antonio Brown's gonna say man, this guy's the victim.
This guy's the victim. Now, if it does get all
the way to trial, and normally these things don't go
to trial because if you're facing a lot of jail time,
you work out a plea deal to lesser charges so
you avoid the big.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Part of the jail possibility.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And then there's the other possibility that the charges are dropped,
and so all those options are there. But if this
does in the multiverse, if this does go down to
a trial, just stay with me on this. You're gonna
have hand pick expert witnesses who will support Antonio Brown
and his legal argument. You're also going to have hand
(22:08):
picked legal experts for the prosecution. Now, AB's defense again
is going to claim listen, he was the one jumped victim,
capital be victim and he panicked. Yeah, yeah, he shouldn't
have done that, but he fired it was in self defense.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Now, the issue is was this person a threat who
he shot?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
If he did indeed shoot the gun, which is what
the accusation is, and they have the video, so they
must be really confident they have they have the goods
on Brown. So was he facing Antonio Brown? Was there
a possible threat to Antonio Brown. Was he running away
from Antonio Brown. That's a problem. That is, if the
(22:47):
guy's running away from me and you shoot him and
it hits the neck, even if it kind of grazes
the neck, but they're going the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Problem, right, that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And so they're gonna lean on these videos and there'll
be some witness testimony and all that stuff. And apparently
there was an off duty officer from one of the
stories I read that said that Brown took the weapons
during the fight.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
This guy, this guy has mastered.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Off field jar he did is a player.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
My favorite Antonio Brown story is when he was sent
over to the Raiders and he never played a game
because he got frostbite on his feet and he couldn't
He couldn't play, which was great. And you also know
what his defense is going to be.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
He's going to throw mercy on the court, say, listen,
I suffer from CTE.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I've got a messed up brain. I have a degendera
of brain disease, and you can't punish me. And you
know that'll be brought up. They will trot out every
possible experts. It's not his fault, he's got CT's handicapped,
and now Brown is thirty six. He turns thirty seven
(24:01):
next month. If I'm I believe I'm correct on that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So if he's convicted.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
And he ends up going to jail for abo fifteen
twenty years, you're looking at Antonio Brown being gonzo till
he's in his fifties or sixties.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's a long time, long long time to be away.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
All right, Now, Pace two, we had not a Cincinnati
where the food is bad according to Justin, and the
football team is not great, and the baseball team's blob.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Well, the Bengals, we'll talk about the football team.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
The first round pick, the edge rusher Shamar Stewart, is
not happy. And we have an update. Stuart left the
mandatory mini camp. He's in a contract boondoggle.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
With the team.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So is there cause for concern that the Cincinnati first
round pick Shamar Stewart has left mini camp?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
So I've looked at this, I've examined the facts.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Despite the headlines rookie rebellion in Cincinnati plus same old
penny pinching Bengals negative publicity, despite that is their cause
for concern? The cause for concern is minimal and here's
why you queue up the motown tune Martha Reeves and
(25:24):
the Van Dels right.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Because despite the obvious haggling that is going on, the
Bengals need Stewart and the player is absolutely I'll clean
this up for radio. The players porked. Okay, they're porked.
The battle is over the minutia. It's over the fine print.
(25:49):
It's not over cash.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And so say that the Bengals are are cheap.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the Bengals are cheap in this case, though the
Bengals are not offering less money. People are just reading
the headlines. They're like, wow, this is Bengals must be
lowballing this guy.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And the only reason the Bengals are not low balling
Stewart is because they can't. The CBA does not allow
that to happen. Everything's slotted. It depends where you're drafted.
You're going to get X amount of money based on
where you're drafted.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
But ultimately, ultimately Shamar Stewart doesn't have any leverage. The
only option is to sign with the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
If you look at the contract between the NFL and
the Players Association. It makes it almost impossible to not
play for the team that drafts you unless you just
don't want to play football and want to get a
normal job and just give up football. Like look at
the option he could sit out. Stewart could sit out
(26:52):
the season. However, that would just delay the big money.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Because he get the big money on the second contract, So.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You delay the time until you can get paid as
a rookie and get the clock started on free agency. Also, well,
what about a trade all right? So again based on
what I understand the contract there, if you want to
be traded, you would have to sign a contract with
the Bengals first. They can't trade you unless you sign
(27:23):
the contract in Cincinnati. So then that would force the
Bengals to absorb some of the salary in that scenario.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Or go.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
They'll get this taken care of. It's a good June story.
It's a good June story. And that's about it all
right now, final point, we head to the ownership class
where Wooy Woody Johnson now Woody Johnson has he's one
of the heirs to the Johnson and Johnson band Aid empire.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
So Woody Johnson is in deep Negoiation.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
To spend about two hundred and seventy million dollars to
purchase a big chunk but not a majority, A big chunk,
but not a majority of an English shker team, Crystal
Palace FC.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
So Whatody Johnson?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
We know he has strong ties to England. He was
the ambassador in the UK under the first Trump administration.
So Jets owner Woody Johnson in talks to buy a
big piece of an English Premier League soccer franchise, Crystal Palace.
(28:37):
How should Jet fans feel about this? Because I'm I'm
seeing some of the feedback and they're like, Oh, this
is this is an embarrassment this guy, this is bad.
What are we doing here? You know, we want a
guy that he wants the Jets to be great? Why
is he Why is he going over there and screwing
up and going to England and all? No, I have
an unpopular opinion for people to believe that if I'm
(28:58):
a Jets fan and I have no no association with Jets,
but if I'm advising the Jets fan base, give Woody.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Johnson a police escort, make sure he.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Gets to the airport with plenty of time to go
through customs and all that stuff and board his flight.
Woody Johnson, as a hands on owner, has produced donkey
do he just has the Jets are Yeah, they're the
laughing stock of the NFL and all that stuff, and
we lampooned the Jets. Johnson was the only NFL owner
(29:33):
to receive an F grade on that Bugase Players Association Annual.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Report Guard thing.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Under Woody Johnson's ownership, the Jets ranked twenty six out
of thirty two teams. Twenty six out of thirty two teams,
and dividing your attention, that is actually a blessing in disguise.
Let him be half present. Just you hire people, let
(30:00):
them make the decisions. And if Woody Johnson's half distracted,
he's an absentee owner, that's fine. Now the other thing here,
and I don't have this kind of money that the
company makes sure I don't get the big money, but
the aristocrats, the new thing is to get an English
soccer team.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Next. That's like the next must have item.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Like it's cool to own an NFL team, but if
you can have an NFL team and own part of
a premier league team, oh man, you're the king of
the cocktail party.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You are.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The other NFL owners currently in their portfolio that have
Premier League soccer include Shod Cohn from Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
He owns one of the teams there Bucks, the Glazer family.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They own Manchester United, part of it forty nine Ers,
the York Family, Leeds United, Commander's owner Josh Harris. They
are the majority owners of Crystal Palace, I believe. And
then Stan Kronke also owns a Premier League team. And
so that's it. That's the of the not unless big board.
(31:11):
That was a big board.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
We'll have to go to our soccer expert Terry in
England for more on that. Later.
Speaker 2 (31:16):

Big Ben gets grilled all right?
Speaker 3 (31:32):

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Khalil Mack told reporters this week that his decision to
return to the Chargers on a one year deal was
less about finances and more about winning ball games.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That are you buying that?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, No, Khalil Mack has been around for many, many
years I've said some big honors, Pro.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Bowls and All Pros.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
And I've been on some good defensive teams and all that.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
But this is like the end of his run. So
he's made a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I don't believe if he could have gotten more money,
he would have gone somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
He's played for the Raiders, the Bears, and the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And if he could have gone to New England or
Baltimore got more money, he.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Would have gotten next.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Former nflg and Mike tannebam meeting prediction on Wednesday that
Aaron Rodgers will be irrelevant by Thanksgiving and the Steelers
will finish third in the AFC North.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
How do you feel about those predictions?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, it's a good hot take. Town Bomb's a talking
head on television. He will not be irrelevant for our
purposes because even if Aaron Rodgers is benched, it'll still
provide great talk radio because he'll he'll pout and complain,
and either way, for our purposes, he will not be
irrelevant even if he's benched, which is.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
He's not gonna get benched next.
Speaker 6 (32:42):

(01:59):
Way Tire Show b So our lead this hour is
from the sun rise, not the sunset. The sun rise,
that's right. The rare and appropriate another rare and appropriate
hockey monologue. Do not get used to this. Do not
get used to this. I'm telling you, do not get
(02:20):
used to it. But about thirty seven miles away from
downtown Miami and just a short drive away from FSR
alumni legend, the amazing Vladimir who used to be my engineer.
He lives in Miami, the great amazing Vladimir. So on
the edge of the Florida Everglades. Right there that was
the frozen sandbox game number four of the.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Stanley Cup Final. Look, we got our own button.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
There the Panthers, as you know, because you're a good
hockey fan looking to take a commanding three games to
one lead over the Oilers. Were you watching, I've seen
the ratings. You were not watching.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I know you weren't watching. Don't lie to me. You
were not watching.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I watched for you. It's our public service, it's our
good mitzvah. So the game went to over time and
Leon dry sidle at the lamp game winner and the
overtime and Edmondson, Oh got out. Edmonton beats Florida five
(03:22):
to four in Game four Stanley Cup Final on a
random Thursday night in June. So that series tied up
two to two. They erased a not one, not two,
but three cold deficit. They were down three to nothing
at the end of the first period. They bounced back
and they did allow a late game time goal, but
(03:44):
the Oilers, who took the lead for the first time,
Jake Wallman scoring the goal, was six twenty four left
in the third period. But then it was Sam reinhard boy,
this you start about a dagger with less than twenty
seconds to go on the clock, he sent the game
to overtime. And that means, now, if you're keeping scorer,
and I know you're not. Three of the first four
(04:04):
games of this final have gone to bonus time to
settle the outcome. And that's the first time that has
happened in over a decade. You got to go back
to twenty thirteen is fifth time in NHL history the
game winner by dry sidle eleven eighteen into the overtime
and everyone gets on a plane, a chartered flight, and
(04:26):
flies back to Western Canada, all even up.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Game five. Game five of a back and.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Forth dueling piano matchup will be on Saturday, and that
is a night that we do not do not get in.
And now we do do the podcast on the weekend,
but we don't do live radio on the weekend. So
I'll be watching, but I will not be bloviating about that.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
So let us discuss the question who gets the finger
(04:55):
of blame and shame.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
For the Florida pay anthers in this one.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So my thoughts on this, I've got Ronko Showtime, Rotisseriy, Oxygen,
and Peacock, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some donuts, some
delicious donuts, so everyone can enjoy a nice suite.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right, So a.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm going to approach this like a classic game show.
The price is right. So when you ask the question
who gets the finger of blame and shame for the
Florida Panthers, my answer is the price is right.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Sergey Bobrovsky, come on down. Yeah it was. It was
like a Ted talk gone bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And this is why we point out that stats tell
you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Right,
And this is like a again, a Ted talk that
just kind of went side. Was when you break these
teams down, even if you're a novice hockey person, you
will say, this is a strength.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Over here, this is a weakness over here, and is it.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, there's no way that a team as good as
Florida at home will be spotted a three to nothing
lead and blow that game. In fact, it had never
happened before. That's why they play the games. The Florida franchise,
not a elite franchise, not a popular franchise nationally, but
the Panthers had never ever puked up a three to
(06:28):
nothing lead in the postseason entering the game. In fact,
teams were thirty seven and zero when leading in the
Stanley Cup Final, thirty seven and oh when leading in
the Stanley Cup Final by three or more goals in
the first period.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And now it is thirty seven and one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You can forget that stat And Bobrovski was supposed to
be the cream of the crop, head and shoulders above.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
All the rest in that so good.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He was like a ron Pull po Ronko showtime Rotisseri
infomercial back in the day. Set it and forget it.
And he started out the game final. The game was
pretty much dominated by by Florida in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I say, you get three to nothing lead.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But Bobrovsky seven for seven, and say, it's not that
many shots by Edmonton in the first period, and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So after that, don't ask, don't tell, right, how about.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
We will tell because this talk radio Edmonton scored not one,
not two, not three, not four, five goals on the
next twenty eight shots. Now, my computer like brain tells
me using malardmath that Bobrovsky after the first period from
that point in the game, so second period, third period,
and overtime, Bobrovsky had a saved percentage of about eighty
(07:46):
two percent. Now, I didn't play in the NHL, and
I just hosted an overnight talk show that blows.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, that blows.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Bobrovsky for some reason, thought he was the pilot and
he wanted to fly and he ended up flying the
vomit comet.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The Florida offense. Also, I mean, even go on on it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
There's other people suspended animation three goal lead. They only
got one kind of fluky late goal as we mentioned there,
with less than twenty seconds to go to force the overtime. Now,
the other part of this year, as we do our
in depth breakdown that nobody else has on Stanley Cup
Final game number four, So what does that outcome for Edmonton?
(08:26):
What does that do for Connor McDavid, Leon Dry Sidle
and the Oilers. So the first thing is rather obvious,
I jotted this down on my notes app on my iPhone,
is that it gives them oxygen that allows them to
take a step back and you kind of take a
deep breath here, and they were about to go on
life support. They were trying to get a hold of
(08:47):
some members of the clergy to come in there and
give last rites to the Oilers had they lost that game,
but you're down three goals with thirty twenty minutes gone,
forty minutes to go, and then you end up winning
an overtime. It had Stanford banned vibes. It had Stanford
banded vibes. One of the most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heartrending, exciting,
(09:08):
thrilling comebacks.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So the Oilers to put it into context here, the
Oilers are the first well there's second team, but the
first team in over one hundred years to do that
on the road to overcome a three gold deficit in
the Stanley Cup Final to win. The only other time
it happened was when no one was watching and the
Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The HAPs got it done back in nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Back back in the day in game three. Now this
is also a refresher course.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Now what don't mean by that? A refresher course.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So, if you've listened to the show for some time,
we used to have a caller, regular caller.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I love this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I thought it was one of the great callers on
the show, and we lost him to the dreaded day shift.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Uncle Moe.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Now Uncle Moe is a radio caller in Brooklyn. Uncle
Moe in sports doesn't exist. It does not exist.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And this is a.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Textbook example, and it verifies that long.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Standing belief that I've had because.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
The Panthers, if you follow the logic, this simpleton logic
of momentum, the hockey team from Florida had all the momentum,
meant all of it. I three to nothing lead at home.
Better goaltender, you got it. Hide choke factor for Edmonton.
You have everything your favor. They had all the moment
(10:30):
Why would they lose.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
They can't lose. They had all the momentum. Why would
they give them momentum up? Because it doesn't exist. That's why.
Now more impressive.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The Lion's share of the comeback was by the flotsam
and jetsum of that hockey team, and it was not
the Connor McDavid and Leon dry Sidle that did the
heavy lifting for the bulk of the comeback and the
game winner. Yeah, I went to dry Sidle and all that,
but the other four goals were not scored by David
(11:00):
or dry Title.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And then you had Stuart Skinner. There was this.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Debate among the hockey people, and they were like, wow,
should this guy start because you kind of kind of
sucked the last game?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Should Stewart's you inter being goal?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And then it's like, well, you got to you gotta
dance with the one that you brought to the dance,
And so they brought Stuart Skinner in.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
They started him, and then.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
In the first intermission the coach there this guy now
block not Chuck knob Block, Chrisnoblock. He sent Skinner to
Siberia on one way ticket to Siberia and said get
out of here, and said, wow, it's better late than ever,
but we suck and we need to change. And so
they went to the backup, somebody named Calvin Pickard. It
(11:39):
sounds like a guy who would try to sell you
something knocking on your door, say I got a bag
of crap, you want to buy something here. But Calvin
Picker had just a journeyman goaltender, bounced all over the
place and he came off the bench. He faced twenty
three shots, stop all but one of them, including if
you watched the overtime was there was one of those
(12:00):
a deep breath moments where Sam Bennett should have won
the game, could have won the game, but didn't win
the game because of the save there by picker. All right,
now last word here, So turning the page, you've got
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
TETA. They made a surprise appearance. Mg m G.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now this became a trending topic. You know how hard
it is to get hockey to be a trending topic
on social media. It's just almost impossible. But there they were,
Taylor Swift and Travis kelce making an unexpected appearance at
Stanley Cup Final game number four.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So on the Mallards scorecard, which is the scorecard record,
it is not a big deal, is not a little deal.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It is not no deal. It is a massive flex,
is what it is. Right, it is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Pump your chest out because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey
common deered the night right and the NHL in general
has this awe shocks man. You know, we're not as
popular as the other sports kind of mindset, but the
brass at the NHL on this night can strut around
like a peacock r They can have their feathers in
(13:22):
the air.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Everywhere, and you get to the side by side.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know the NBA, which is built on star power,
pro bouncy ball, star power, celebrities.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
All the cool kids love the NBA, and.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The biggest stars to attend the NBA Finals this year
are Adam Silver and Meadow World Peace period hard stop.
So Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce having I don't know,
was it a date night at a hockey game. I
don't know what they were doing. They're fussing around there,
but that's star power that overshadowed the.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Hockey and you know they kept away there.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
There was a media frenzy, a social media frenzy, and
so forget hockey night, it's a swifty night and constant
cutaways from the ice.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
TNT treating this like a.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Concert tour stop for Taylor Swift, that she had an
unexpected concert there. And I guess I've been staying down
there in the Miami area this last couple of months,
not that I knew that prior to reading a story
and the tabloids about it, like why were they there?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But apparently they're.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
There anyway, and there obviously were there. I unless that
was a deep fake, they were there.
Speaker 2 (14:32):

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Memphis with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Thumbs
up over there for mister irrigation. Ty IRAQ dot com
the Way Tire Buying show.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So our lead.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
This is from the police blotter. The police blotter. We
haven't had a good sports trial in a while. You're
a fan of trials. We might have that an NFL
legend from years gone by in some hot water if
you have not heard, perhaps not a stunning juxta position
(16:23):
from where he was a few years ago. Antonio Brown,
the former Pittsburg Steeler, Antonio Brown, is now a wanted
man in Miami Dade County. Antonio Brown, what did he
do well? He's wanted for attempted murder charges. That seems
(16:44):
like a rather serious crime.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Attempted murder.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And this all stems from an incident we talked about
a little bit when it happened about a month ago
in May May sixteenth, a celebrity boxing event in the
Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami and police say that Antonio
Brown decided he was an action hero. I added that
(17:07):
part grabbed the gun of a security officer, ran towards
another man, and fired at least two shots. Now, one
of those shots came very very close to ending the
life of one of the people. Grazed the neck if
it had gone through the neck turn out the last
(17:30):
the parties over. Now, a judge issued a warrant, setting
a ten thousand dollars bond and ordering Antonio Brown to
remain under house arrest and at last report, from what
we have been able to decipher, he is still out there,
Antonio Brown.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Will he leave the country? Will Antonio Brown become a
fugitive from justice? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Developing hot dot dot dot, So let us discuss. It's
an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The question. We're gonna frame it this way.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So the cops in Miami, the authorities there, are seeking
to arrest Antonio Brown, the former NFL player, Antonio Brown,
on a charge of attempted murder. Your thoughts on these developments,
Your thoughts on these latest developments. So I've got microscope,
motown and police escort, and we will combine all of
(18:24):
these things together, and it's gonna be just like hurting frogs,
just like we're hurting frogs. Yeah, So numb burr, let
me try that again, numb bur.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Bunkers, This story is bunkers. It is now Antonio Brown's
camp has I say camps mostly just him. But the
contention is that Hey, listen, Brown was the person who
was the victim here.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
He was jumped.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
He acted in self defense, claiming he was detained and
then released at the time he said they released me.
In fact, supposedly that night, the night of the shooting,
they released him. He went back to the event. So
he said, Ah, I'm not going home.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'll go to the vent. Now here's the here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's go to the videotape, the surveillance, surveillance video, the
cell phone videos.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Also, if you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Believe the initial reporting, they claim to show a much
different story than Antonio Brown's version of events. That Brown
was punching a guy, grabbed the security officer's weapon.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And bang bang.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, the legal stakes on this are ginormous, as you
might imagine. That's this is not your Hey, I got
caught with the I parked my car illegally and I
got a.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Ticket, or I got busted for jaywalking.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
This is a tempted murder and so attempted murder with
a firearm is a serious felony. And depending on the
exact charges, which we have not seen yet, you're looking
at decades decades in prison. So how will this play out?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Now we don't know how it's gonna play out.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
However, I am a distant relative of Nostra Damis and
friend of Nostradinas.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He lives in Seattle, and.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
As someone who is all knowing, all powerful, omnipresent when
it comes to these kind of stories, Antonio Brown is
going to pull out a bugle and he's gonna call
in the cavalry.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Antonio Brown, He's going.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To invoke the legal gods will come down from the
heavens here, and that means a celebrity lawyer here, a
celebrity lawyer there, a celebrity lawyer everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They're gonna enter the chat. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
From what we know right now, based on the available information,
it is going to come down to perception of the video, right,
It's gonna come down to how do you interpret the
cell phone video?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
How do you interpret all the different footage they.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Have because everything was recorded, so the Malard microscope, under
the Malar microscope, we're looking at a frame by frame
z the Bruder film style breakdown where each side will
bring in legal experts to methodically analyze the clips and
explain why this.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Is wrong and this is guilty.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And Antonio Brown's gonna say man, this guy's the victim.
This guy's the victim. Now, if it does get all
the way to trial, and normally these things don't go
to trial because if you're facing a lot of jail time,
you work out a plea deal to lesser charges so
you avoid the big.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Part of the jail possibility.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And then there's the other possibility that the charges are dropped,
and so all those options are there. But if this
does in the multiverse, if this does go down to
a trial, just stay with me on this. You're gonna
have hand pick expert witnesses who will support Antonio Brown
and his legal argument. You're also going to have hand
(22:08):
picked legal experts for the prosecution. Now, AB's defense again
is going to claim listen, he was the one jumped victim,
capital be victim and he panicked. Yeah, yeah, he shouldn't
have done that, but he fired it was in self defense.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Now, the issue is was this person a threat who
he shot?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
If he did indeed shoot the gun, which is what
the accusation is, and they have the video, so they
must be really confident they have they have the goods
on Brown. So was he facing Antonio Brown? Was there
a possible threat to Antonio Brown. Was he running away
from Antonio Brown. That's a problem. That is, if the
(22:47):
guy's running away from me and you shoot him and
it hits the neck, even if it kind of grazes
the neck, but they're going the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Problem, right, that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And so they're gonna lean on these videos and there'll
be some witness testimony and all that stuff. And apparently
there was an off duty officer from one of the
stories I read that said that Brown took the weapons
during the fight.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
This guy, this guy has mastered.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Off field jar he did is a player.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
My favorite Antonio Brown story is when he was sent
over to the Raiders and he never played a game
because he got frostbite on his feet and he couldn't
He couldn't play, which was great. And you also know
what his defense is going to be.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
He's going to throw mercy on the court, say, listen,
I suffer from CTE.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I've got a messed up brain. I have a degendera
of brain disease, and you can't punish me. And you
know that'll be brought up. They will trot out every
possible experts. It's not his fault, he's got CT's handicapped,
and now Brown is thirty six. He turns thirty seven
(24:01):
next month. If I'm I believe I'm correct on that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So if he's convicted.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
And he ends up going to jail for abo fifteen
twenty years, you're looking at Antonio Brown being gonzo till
he's in his fifties or sixties.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's a long time, long long time to be away.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
All right, Now, Pace two, we had not a Cincinnati
where the food is bad according to Justin, and the
football team is not great, and the baseball team's blob.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Well, the Bengals, we'll talk about the football team.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
The first round pick, the edge rusher Shamar Stewart, is
not happy. And we have an update. Stuart left the
mandatory mini camp. He's in a contract boondoggle.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
With the team.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So is there cause for concern that the Cincinnati first
round pick Shamar Stewart has left mini camp?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
So I've looked at this, I've examined the facts.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Despite the headlines rookie rebellion in Cincinnati plus same old
penny pinching Bengals negative publicity, despite that is their cause
for concern? The cause for concern is minimal and here's
why you queue up the motown tune Martha Reeves and
(25:24):
the Van Dels right.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Because despite the obvious haggling that is going on, the
Bengals need Stewart and the player is absolutely I'll clean
this up for radio. The players porked. Okay, they're porked.
The battle is over the minutia. It's over the fine print.
(25:49):
It's not over cash.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And so say that the Bengals are are cheap.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the Bengals are cheap in this case, though the
Bengals are not offering less money. People are just reading
the headlines. They're like, wow, this is Bengals must be
lowballing this guy.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And the only reason the Bengals are not low balling
Stewart is because they can't. The CBA does not allow
that to happen. Everything's slotted. It depends where you're drafted.
You're going to get X amount of money based on
where you're drafted.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
But ultimately, ultimately Shamar Stewart doesn't have any leverage. The
only option is to sign with the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
If you look at the contract between the NFL and
the Players Association. It makes it almost impossible to not
play for the team that drafts you unless you just
don't want to play football and want to get a
normal job and just give up football. Like look at
the option he could sit out. Stewart could sit out
(26:52):
the season. However, that would just delay the big money.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Because he get the big money on the second contract, So.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You delay the time until you can get paid as
a rookie and get the clock started on free agency. Also, well,
what about a trade all right? So again based on
what I understand the contract there, if you want to
be traded, you would have to sign a contract with
the Bengals first. They can't trade you unless you sign
(27:23):
the contract in Cincinnati. So then that would force the
Bengals to absorb some of the salary in that scenario.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Or go.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
They'll get this taken care of. It's a good June story.
It's a good June story. And that's about it all
right now, final point, we head to the ownership class
where Wooy Woody Johnson now Woody Johnson has he's one
of the heirs to the Johnson and Johnson band Aid empire.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
So Woody Johnson is in deep Negoiation.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
To spend about two hundred and seventy million dollars to
purchase a big chunk but not a majority, A big chunk,
but not a majority of an English shker team, Crystal
Palace FC.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
So Whatody Johnson?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
We know he has strong ties to England. He was
the ambassador in the UK under the first Trump administration.
So Jets owner Woody Johnson in talks to buy a
big piece of an English Premier League soccer franchise, Crystal Palace.
(28:37):
How should Jet fans feel about this? Because I'm I'm
seeing some of the feedback and they're like, Oh, this
is this is an embarrassment this guy, this is bad.
What are we doing here? You know, we want a
guy that he wants the Jets to be great? Why
is he Why is he going over there and screwing
up and going to England and all? No, I have
an unpopular opinion for people to believe that if I'm
(28:58):
a Jets fan and I have no no association with Jets,
but if I'm advising the Jets fan base, give Woody.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Johnson a police escort, make sure he.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Gets to the airport with plenty of time to go
through customs and all that stuff and board his flight.
Woody Johnson, as a hands on owner, has produced donkey
do he just has the Jets are Yeah, they're the
laughing stock of the NFL and all that stuff, and
we lampooned the Jets. Johnson was the only NFL owner
(29:33):
to receive an F grade on that Bugase Players Association Annual.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Report Guard thing.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Under Woody Johnson's ownership, the Jets ranked twenty six out
of thirty two teams. Twenty six out of thirty two teams,
and dividing your attention, that is actually a blessing in disguise.
Let him be half present. Just you hire people, let
(30:00):
them make the decisions. And if Woody Johnson's half distracted,
he's an absentee owner, that's fine. Now the other thing here,
and I don't have this kind of money that the
company makes sure I don't get the big money, but
the aristocrats, the new thing is to get an English
soccer team.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Next. That's like the next must have item.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Like it's cool to own an NFL team, but if
you can have an NFL team and own part of
a premier league team, oh man, you're the king of
the cocktail party.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You are.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The other NFL owners currently in their portfolio that have
Premier League soccer include Shod Cohn from Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
He owns one of the teams there Bucks, the Glazer family.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They own Manchester United, part of it forty nine Ers,
the York Family, Leeds United, Commander's owner Josh Harris. They
are the majority owners of Crystal Palace, I believe. And
then Stan Kronke also owns a Premier League team. And
so that's it. That's the of the not unless big board.
(31:11):
That was a big board.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
We'll have to go to our soccer expert Terry in
England for more on that. Later.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Big Ben gets grilled all right?

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Khalil Mack told reporters this week that his decision to
return to the Chargers on a one year deal was
less about finances and more about winning ball games.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That are you buying that?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, No, Khalil Mack has been around for many, many
years I've said some big honors, Pro.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Bowls and All Pros.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
And I've been on some good defensive teams and all that.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
But this is like the end of his run. So
he's made a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I don't believe if he could have gotten more money,
he would have gone somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
He's played for the Raiders, the Bears, and the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And if he could have gone to New England or
Baltimore got more money, he.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Would have gotten next.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Former nflg and Mike tannebam meeting prediction on Wednesday that
Aaron Rodgers will be irrelevant by Thanksgiving and the Steelers
will finish third in the AFC North.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
How do you feel about those predictions?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, it's a good hot take. Town Bomb's a talking
head on television. He will not be irrelevant for our
purposes because even if Aaron Rodgers is benched, it'll still
provide great talk radio because he'll he'll pout and complain,
and either way, for our purposes, he will not be
irrelevant even if he's benched, which is.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
He's not gonna get benched next.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
