Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
A very jerry kind of a weekend. Welcome in the
beginning of another week of the Ben Malors Show. We
are in the air everywhere in collaboration as we are
dreaming and stemn coast coast, border to border and beyond.
(00:59):
On the fast and talkatively powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the words the home of the
Winged Words from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And this
hour is made possible in part by our friends at
ti Iraq As Martin who works the Dreaded dayshift and
(01:21):
his daughter Julia from SoCal. They reached out to me
and see, you know, Ben, You've done so many ti
Iraq commercials. We bought ti Iraq tires because you wouldn't
stop talking about ti Iraq. All right, well, thank you
for that, Martin and Julia. We appreciate it. For over
forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
(01:43):
fast and free back by free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire mind should be. And so that's
a memo to tire Raq. Just keep buying spots and
eventually we're gonna break down everyone listening. We're gonna force
them like we forced Martin and Julia to buy tire
Iraq tires because of those commercials hour after hour after hour.
(02:06):
And we love our friends at tire Rack. But we
begin the new week the way that we left the
end of last week. There's a common theme here. There's
a common theme as we begin the new week, and
that is Jerry's world in the nard in Aux Nerd
Cowboy training Camp. And if you have not been following along,
there have been some new developments over the weekend. We
(02:29):
got you covered. We got no life, we got no life.
We got you covered. So, since we last chatted behind
these powerful booming microphones of Fox Sports Radio, Micah Parsons.
We know he had publicly requested a departure. He wanted
a one way ticket out of town. He requested a
trade Cowboy legends over the weekend, taking positions backing Micah
(02:52):
Parsons publicly, there was much angst directed at Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones advised the cowboy fan to not lose any sleep,
and don't do that. Now. We never lose any sleep.
We're up all night anyway, so it doesn't matter. We
don't lose any sleep. So let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel. The question is this, how do
(03:12):
you process the weekend events around Micah Parsons and the
issues with the Dallas Cowboys. So I've got my thoughts
on this. I've got coupon book, crypto scam, and catapulted,
and we'll combine all these things together and we're gonna
make some cinnamon roll cookies, is what we're gonna make.
(03:35):
We're gonna bake those up and we'll put those in
the oven. Then we'll take them out, we'll eat them
and they'll be wonderful, all right. So A my first
thought on this is it continues what I call the
paint by numbers formula. Do you understand what I'm saying,
the paint by numbers formula. So, Jerry Jones loves turning
the routine contract neutiation on into a full blown circus
(03:57):
under the big top. Right, there's elephants over there's clowns
over there. We've got for some reason, there's some kind
of rhino. I don't know what that's all about. He
can't help himself, and I'm there for it. Listen, my
talk show host, I'm there for it. He literally said,
right when it gets slow around here. In the past,
Jerry has said, I'll stir it up. It's all about
the spotlight. It's all about the spot It's like his
(04:20):
personal hobby. Some people go to hobby lobby and they
build stuff. Now now Jerry Jones, this is his hobby
and he's good at it. It's the game. What's in
the gate, it's the game now. Michael Parsons trade request
is not authenticated, it's not legitimate. It's not a serious,
serious trade request. It's more frustration. Annoyance is what it is.
(04:44):
And it's all part of the theater. Not that kind
of theater. It's leverage theater is what I call leverage theater.
So Michael Parsons is mad at the way this is
getting drawn out. At least that's the perception out there
that he's things have installed and they thought they had
something worked out back in March, and here we are
(05:08):
in August and nothing has gotten done. And so he
took some shots. He took some shots at the cowboys
and whatnot. But let's be clearer, just between me and you,
Michaeh Parsons does not actually want out. He doesn't. Every man,
woman and child knows this. He does not actually want
to leave the Dallas Cowboys. He just doesn't want to
be used by Jerry Jones behind closeddars doesn't want it
(05:33):
right now. This is the classic rule of drama. We've
often talked about this over my time behind these microphones.
It's right out of also the Anchorman playbook What Happened
over the Weekend Boy? That escalated quickly, as Ron Burger
he taught me years ago in that old movie. But
Michaeh Parsons goes from I love the fans, I love
the fans, I love them, I love them, I love them.
(05:55):
I want to be here, I want to be here
to I want out earns on a dime. All right,
twenty four hours. You know what that is? That is
professional wrestling, That is WWE. Heel turned. So what happened?
All right? So did Jerry Jones. I'm trying to think
what CODEB did? Jerry Jones at some point say, hey, Micah,
here's the latest offer, just between me and you. I'm
(06:17):
going to offer you a coupon book of some discount
codes to the Cowboy Team Shop instead of money. So
I'll give you the coupon book. You can go in
there and get a Cowboy souvenir koozie, you can get
pajamas with my face on it. It'd be just really cool.
Everyone loves that stuff. We sell it the Cowboy Team Shop.
What's not the like mark? Come on? You kidding me?
(06:39):
So and Jerry Jones he also knows at this point
in the story that Micah Parsons isn't going anywhere. He
isn't going anywhere. And he said, he said it himself, right,
he said it himself. He said, don't lose sleep over.
This is what the quote going around from Jerry Jones
over the weekend. Now, that is code. That's a dog
whistle or dog whistle code for it. We've got him.
(07:02):
He's not going to actually do anything that's going to
hurt the team here. He's too valuable to walk. He'll
cave in eventually. We just got to stay strong. So
Jerry's out there playing some poker and his best card
in the house there, Michah Parsons is just bluffing, just
like that. He's bluffing, and Jerry knows now, Jerry Jones
(07:24):
knows it. However, you've got the low information fan passionately
screaming pay Micah pay, michaeh a training camp there, An Oxnard.
You've got legendary cowboy players of years gone by who
are publicly taking sides, and so it's creating this chaotic
(07:46):
cloud over the cowboys, this chaotic cloud. And regardless though
Jerry does love it, he loves the chaos cloud. It's
a really good cloud for the Dallas Cowboys. There, and
you think he's stressed. You think Jerry Jones is sitting
there and he's really stressed. Oh man, I'm just putting
an actor. No, no way. In fact, I'll bet you
dollars to nonuts that Jerry Jones is sipping some Johnny
(08:07):
Walker blue on his yacht off the Pacific from Oxnard there,
and he's watching all these talking heads discuss and debate
the Dallas Cowboys and Michael Parson he's got it on
mute and he's got subtitles on. He's watching it in
the background. He's like, oh man, we nailed it. We
absolutely nailed it. Look at this coverage. Oh man, I'm
(08:28):
getting the chubby. He's all excited. Right, this is great coverage. Right,
it's noise, it's drama, It's Dallas. That's what they do
in Jerry Jones until his last breath in this mortal coil.
Jerry Jones is the director, the producer, and the lead
actor of the longest running soap opera in the NFL.
(08:49):
Dallas Cowboys are always always about the Dallas Cowboys. And
I'm not sure what year the Simpsons started. I know
Jerry took ownership, I think in eighty nine, and so
the cowboy drama has been on since eighty nine. The
Simpsons about that time, give or take, I think around
at exact time, maybe even earlier than that, and the
(09:10):
Simpsons the longest running show on television. But the Dallas
Cowboys for what they do in terms of soap oper boom,
all right now, page two. By the way, I'm told
they voice in my head tells me that the Simpsons
started in nineteen eighty nine. So that does mean that
the Cowboys and the Simpsons. You have the longest soap
opera sports soap oper the Cowboys, and you have the Simpsons,
(09:31):
the longest running cartoon anyway. So turning the pace, So
what are the now, I'm of the position that there
will be no trade. There is going to be a deal.
I maintain my position that this week worked out. There'll
be a Jay Glazer story that pops up on the
NFL on Fox pregame show right before the start of
the season saying they've worked out a deal at the
(09:52):
eleventh hour. Micah Parson is going to sign a record
setting contract with the Dallas Cowboys. However, for the purposes
of talk radio, what are the odds that Jerry Jones
ends up eventually doing a one pint eighty on Micah
Parsons and that I'm wrong and you're wrong, and the
person over there is wrong, and Michah Parsons ends up
(10:14):
being packaged somewhere else. So the Mallard of Sports Book
odds as you know, these are the odds of record,
the malor of sports book odds plus two thousand that
Michael Parsons eventually gets traded. Now, that is not zero,
That is not zero. That implies a less than five
percent chances, slightly less than five percent chance that Michael
(10:36):
Parsons is repackaged somewhere else. Now, how would that work?
How would that work? So Michael Parsons was someone that
was singing Kumbaya with Jerry Jones for the first couple
of years of his career. Now they're talking about money,
so they're fighting all that. But the way it would work,
Parsons has, in the eyes of Jerry Jones, the wrong agent,
(10:58):
which is any agent, and Jerry hates agents. He especially
appears to have a strong distaste for David mulla Getta,
the agent for Micah Parson. So Jerry, here's the name Mullaghetta, right,
that's Michael Parson's agent. And he thinks that's gotta be
some kind of crypto scheme or something like that. You know,
he's an old guy. I don't know what this is.
And so mulla Getta thinks he's reinvented how agents do business, right,
(11:25):
he's the smartest guy in the room. And maybe he is.
I don't know. I never heard of the guy a
couple of years ago, and all of a sudden he
got that sleezeball Deshaun Watson all that money. Well everyone
knew he was a sleezeball, and Mullagetta was able to
convince the dummies in Cleveland to set a record amount
of guaranteed money. So who knows this guy, David Mullageda
might be the smartest guy in the room anyway, So
(11:46):
Jerry Mullageda thinks he's cracked the system, and Jerry just says,
there is no cracking of the system. I am the
system and that's it. And so you have this urinating match,
flexing muscles and all that stuff. And Jerry's of course
got a mind. You whose name is on the deed
to the Dallas Cowboys and all that stuff. So what
would the return be in that hypothetical demension where Micah
(12:09):
Parsons were to be relocated? So you're not just flipping,
You're not flip flopping the guy for a couple of
second round picks and journeyman defensive back. That's not how
this would work. And under that scenario, Jerry Jones will
stand up with his megaphone, as Jerry is known to
do at a news conference, and he will first of
(12:32):
all say I did not want to trade Micah, but
Micah left me no choice. He wanted out. We got
some value in return for Micah, and we're excited about
these picks. We think there'll be good players. We love
young defensive players. And we don't know who we're going
to pick, but some guy from East North Southwest University.
We think very exciting, very very exciting. But the only
(12:55):
way to make the trade is for Micah Parsons to
fully burn the house down. So what he did with
that opening salvo did not burn the house down, Like
I'm talking a full blown, right, full blown social media
sports terrorism. The more than just cryptic posts on Instagram
(13:16):
liking comments about the Philadelphia Eagles and wanting to play
for the Philadelphia Eagles unfollowing the team. Of course, the
nuclear option. There's a couple of ways to go about this.
But guess what he might might you Micah already asked
for a trade, So he already asked for a trade,
So he just cracked the door open a little bit.
(13:36):
It seems like a faux ask at this particular point
in time, and Jerry just has to walk through it.
I'm not going to do it now, and doesn't have
to do it now. There's no reason to do it.
The season starts in a month, and at that point,
that's when it gets real. In terms of what would
actually come back to the Dallas Cowboys. He's saying you start,
(13:57):
the starting point would be at least not one, but
two first round draft picks, which would make a lot
of sense for a team that is likely going to
be picking near the bottom. If you're in Kansas City,
for example, under this hypothetical multiverse, if you're a team
like the Chiefs, and you know for the next concept
couple of years, because of Mahomes and Andy Reid, you're
(14:19):
going to be one of the better teams in the NFL.
Even if you go down a little bit, you're still
gonna be one of the better teams in the NFL.
So why would you not trade two first round picks
to get a twenty six year old, Yeah, pay him,
but to get a guy who's in his twenties who's good,
but who knows if he plays well in big games?
He hasn't done that yet. So a team like that
would make sense. A team like that would make sense.
(14:41):
And so you know, it's not so much about the
picks or whatever in this case, it would be about
the power for Jerry Jones. And if you cross Jerry Jones,
if you get on the bad side of Jerry Jones,
if you do that, you pay the price. And Jerry's
not gonna let some agent, some Weasley agent with a
weird last name, dictate terms in his building because he's
(15:04):
the Dallas cowboy, you know, same old cowboys, always chasing
the shadows, the ghosts, the Poulter guys to the nineteen
nineties cowboys. And it's not the multiverse in this case,
it's the Jerry Verse. It's the Jerry Verse there and
a trade is not likely. Again not likely, but it
is not impossible either, And we're going less than five
(15:25):
percent in the multiverse. There's always a dimension in the
multiverse which is a spin off of the Jerry Verse.
There's always a dimension where Micah Parsons is repackaged, and
he's repackaged for some berries, some apples, some strawberries, apples,
and then you're throw in like maybe I don't know
(15:47):
what else could you throw in there? A cantelope, like
a nice cantilope? Shere whenna all right? Now, last word?
Here we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami. The sound
of the day. We have audio. Here's Mike McDaniel, I mean,
Tyreek Hill the other day broke down why he thought
the Dolphins should not feature the there running back there
(16:08):
they're they're generally they're starting running back in the short
yardede situation. Well, here's the head coach commenting on the
defensive or the lack of defense of the mouth of
Tyreek Killis.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I thought it was a genius reporting by Tyreek, seeing
how we had a short yardage period that very day
that you guys, you guys were in attendance for, and
his suggestion was, I guess, uh congruent with coach Studentsville.
That's exactly how he we wrapped the backs in that
shortyard period that very day.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But we thought it was funny that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He reported the news that wasn't news on that practice
day in that shortyards period that you guys were all
there too for.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, all right, So that's that's Mike McDaniel. It's sund
of little lot to me. Mike McDaniel, the Dolphin head coach,
not pleased with Tyreek Hill and the public critique of
the Dolphin short yardage package, saying, as you heard there,
he reported news that wasn't news. So what does this
signify to you? What does it signify to you? So
(17:17):
translation from the coach who sounded like he just put
his long down. Shut up Tyreek. That's what he wanted
to say. He didn't say that, but that's what he
wanted to say. You don't get just get speed when
you have Tyreek Hill. You don't just get the speed.
You don't do that. It's the all inclusive Tyreek experience,
(17:40):
the all inclusive Tyreek experience, which is not just speed.
You get the drama, you get the sound bites, you
get controversy on Asle five. There's a spell on Aisle five,
there's some controversy. It's like a hard rock hotel meets TMZ,
I have a child, and it's Tyreek Hill right over there.
One minute he's torching a defensive back for a touchdown
(18:00):
and dancing and prancing and having a fine time, and
the next he's torching his own team. The fact that
he's still there I continue to be fascinated the fact
that he is still hanging out at good old Miami
front office, the coaching staff. Tyreek wanted out. He's at
a point in his career where this is likely going
to go real bad, and the Dolphins kept him around.
(18:23):
It's wild, right, and so it continues to be a
tinder box of a situation for the Dolphins. And we've
seen this movie hundreds of times in the last twenty
years in the NFL. The moment Tyreek hills forty times,
the moment it drops just a little bit a tenth
of a second, The moment goes down about a tenth
(18:43):
of a second. He's getting catapulted out of Miami like
an ejector's seat on a fighter jet in the Air Force.
It's just hit the ejack button and see you later.
Bye bye, bye bye. And Mike McDaniel knows it. Everyone
knows it. Right. You're done, You're gone, see you later.
(19:04):
They're not keeping you around for sentimental value. That's not
out of words. It's Bill Parcells one oh one, old
school NFL. When the production outweighs the aggravation, you keep him.
When the aggregation outweighs the production you say bye bye,
and you get rid of him just like that. And
it's a simple malar math, simple malar math, and Tyreek
(19:25):
working on a deficit. Right now at this moment, you
can tell McDaniel's annoyed, although he always seems like he's
medicating himself, so he's not too annoyed. He's got that
passive aggressive nerd rage bubbling up as much as it
can trying to get through the weed haze under the
service and all that stuff. But that bottom line here,
Tyreek Hill is great until he's not and and then
(19:49):
that's it. And if he's not, then the Dolphins are
going to throw him, throw him overboard, and throw him out,
much like you would throw rotten milk out of your refrigerator,
because it's to smell up everything they're in said refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
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 1 (20:12):
Put out the caution flag welcome in the beginning of
another hour of The Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
We are in the air, EveryWare incoats as we are
loafing and trying not to choke coast to coast, border
to border and beyond on.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The mast and roudly powerful microphones of fsre am monating
live from the point that's right, the sailor's vantage point
as we swim around the waters at sea. There the
Fox Sports radio studios as approved by mister nice guy
(20:57):
will in his uncle Josh. That's right. All of that,
all of that as we begin anew this hour, and
it's made possible in part by our friends at tire
i Raq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast end free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
(21:20):
tire iraq dot com, the Way Tire Buying showb So
our lead this hour is from what I'm calling the
Bristol Boondoggle, the Bristol Boondoggle, the best laid plans of
mice men and Major League Baseball. Now someone named Eli White.
Eli White, Apparently that's a player for the Atlanta baseball team.
(21:43):
Eli White hit a three run homer, also had a
solo shot, and the Atlanta Bros betea Cincinnati Reds forty
two the game on Sunday, the rain delade, the rain
to laid. Major League Baseball Speedway Classic played at the
iconic Bristol Motor speed the first ever Major League Baseball
game played in Tennessee. It was supposed to be played
(22:06):
on Saturday. Now they say that ninety one thousand brave
souls were in attendance. They showed up men, women, and
children to that game on Sunday. However, that's not the story,
all right, That is not the story here. If you
were watching the mess happen in real time, you'll likely
(22:27):
know what took place on Saturday. If not, if you
missed it because you were out doing stuff, maybe you
didn't hear what happened. Possibly not. So the game itself,
which was the showcase for baseball, the vehicle to showcase
the Bristol Motor Speedway. Major League Baseball is crossover, this
confab all that. So the game itself took a back
(22:48):
seat to what happened on Saturday. So if you were there,
I'd love to hear from you to either validate what
I'm hearing or to dismiss what I'm hearing. So the
Majorly Baseball Speedway Classic was promoted as a spectacle. Oh,
you had to be there. But they had this massive
rain delay that did not subside on Saturday. It was
(23:12):
supposed to be nationally broadcast on Fox, so the game
was put on hold. But that was just the tip
of the spear. You also had a logistical nightmare for
fans in attendance at the game on Saturday. Now, issues
with just about everything from a customer relations standpoint. So
let us discuss the question is this, how do you
(23:34):
sum up Rob Manford's Major League Baseball showcase in Tennessee
there and the game at Bristol Motors Speedway. So I've
got bonfire, mumbo and Egyptian linens and we will combine
all of these things together and we will go bugget
(23:54):
and mugging and mugging and mugging and mugging. Let's race,
all right? So first of all, be careful what you
ask for, right, be careful what you ask for. That's
my first life major League Baseball. As we said, they
wanted a spectacle, they wanted a spectacle, and oh did
they get a spectacle? Man? Did they get a spectacle? Uh?
(24:15):
And just not the kind they had anticipated they were
going to get. They didn't anticipate this. Major League Baseball
was pumping its chest out. They were all hyped up.
Another great moment, storybook moment for Major League Baseball. Bristol
Motor Speedway, first ever Major League Baseball game build as
this grand you know, genre building moment, and it was
(24:35):
a novelty event, but it was something you'd pass on.
So I was there, and for many people it turned
into a very soggy, stomach turning circus, if you will.
On Saturday, and if you squinted hard enough, very briefly,
they tried to play through the monsoon there in Tennessee
and the Appalachian downpour. They tried to play through. It
(24:57):
didn't really work, and the pouring down it seemed like
there was some fog out there, and you might have
seen baseball briefly on Saturday, just a little glimpse of baseball,
or at least the ghost of a baseball game before
they pulled the plug and said that's it. And heck,
the Fox broadcast team didn't even know that the game
(25:18):
had been called for the night. They thought they were
still waiting around to play baseball. So that is part
of it. But what the fan got, the fan got
the burd is what the fan got right. What the
fan got was Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival.
And that is the point of demarcation, right that music
event where they didn't have any food and people were
(25:40):
sweating and profusely and then they travel accommodations that were
promised were not There was a disaster. So this was
being compared to Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival.
From the standpoint to be fair, I don't think Jah
Rule was involved in this, so he was not there.
He didn't promise anything. So instead of sandwiches with no meat,
(26:04):
they had nachos with no cheese. What do you call
nachos with no cheese? Chips is what you call it.
They had hot dogs without a bun. They didn't have
they ran out of buns apparently for the hot dogs.
And the rain, see like the rain part of it
that happens, you can't really say, well, that's Baseball's fault.
(26:25):
I as much as I love to pick and prod
and poke major League Baseball, you can't really say, hey,
you know, this is the issue here the rain, because
that you know, you can't predict one hundred percent it's
going to rain or it's not gonna rain in all
that stuff. Two hour delay, zero contingency plan on Saturday.
That will make that a strike. It's not an out,
(26:47):
it's a strike. So that strike one, no contingency plan
on Saturday. People waiting around you had empty concessions. These
are boots on the ground reporting empty concessions before first pitch,
running out of food before first pitch. Strike two. And
the kicker of kickers. And this is from people who
(27:08):
are in attendance. They said the infrastructure designed to get
people into Bristol Motor Speedway for the baseball game revolved
around multiple shuttles to get in. There was no explanation
from anyone wearing those dopey Major League Baseball polos on
how exactly to do it. So that is strike three.
You're out, see you later, goodbye. Right now. The fans
(27:31):
were certainly out of luck, there's no question about that.
They're also out of food, and many of them, based
on the commentary, very very upset and out of patience
with what happened. So listen, it takes a special kind
of hubris from Rob Manford and all the underlings in
(27:52):
the mafioso of Major League Baseball, the Organized Baseball Committee
to cram tens of thousands of humanity fans into a
NASCAR stadium turned ballpark as Frankenstein set up there for
baseball and not consider, hey, maybe we should go through
(28:13):
the logistics on how these people are gonna get in
here and get out of here, or you know, what
to do if there is a weather situation, or the
bathrooms or the food. And it looks like either they
didn't consider any of those things or they just didn't care.
They just didn't care. So but hey, they apparently had
(28:34):
a lot of beer and they had peanuts. So that's
what they had beer and peanuts, and that's all you need.
And so that to me is like nineteen eighties style
high school football hospitality. Beer might have beer, nineteen eighties
high school football, they had peanuts, get your peanuts now,
but twenty twenty five, so it doesn't really work. And
(28:55):
now the biggest insult though Major League Baseball, the ham
fisted attempt by Major League Baseball to brand this as
a social media spectacle. Now, that is where this goes
next level, That is where this becomes the fire Festival.
Major League Baseball saying, hey, this is going to be
a social media spectacle. So they handed the fan, They
(29:17):
handed the fan the right the cameras. Everyone's got cameras
these days. Forgetting that the phone points both ways, if
you know what I mean, The phone points both the way.
So what Major League Baseball in the marketing meeting in
Manhattan thought was going to be in their head, this
glitzy day of trending topics baseball would dominate the weekend
(29:42):
on the socials, And it turned out to be a
digital bonfire for Major League Baseball, with photos documenting mile
long shuttle lines to get to the stadium. Fans had
the receipts, right, they had the receipts from the entire event.
It was a a disaster, and many people pointing out
(30:02):
the way that this sums up Major League Baseball's operation.
People in ankle deep puddles in the stadium, the nachos
without cheese, the hot dogs without buns, all of that,
everything documented for posterity's sake and saved for time. And
so everything's getting frozen in images and video of the
(30:27):
logistical failure, the spectacular debacle of Rob Manford and Major
League Baseball in real time. And this is not just
a one off. Mind you, this is not just one
off because the priority is never the fan. They don't
care about the fans. There's seventeen million streaming services to
watch major League Baseball. They're asking you to pirate major
(30:49):
League Baseball because otherwise you gotta pay for the Hulu
game of the week. You gotta get to the you know,
the Peacock game of the week, this game, that game,
all that stuff, and it's not about the actual fan.
They you know, it must like a lot of these
places that used to give you something and make you
feel like you were getting a lot more than that.
(31:10):
They've cut back on that. But major League Baseball they
want the headlines. They thought they were gonna get the
hashtags and not have to do the heavy lifting and
all that, and surprise, surprise, surprise. H fans there, as
we said, were documenting all of the logistical failures one
after another. Right, and you go back and you talk
about Baseball some of the events they've done. This is
(31:31):
the new strategy to have these one off events. You
remember the Field of Dreams game in Iowa. For a
lot of people was Field of screams. Who attended that
game and Baseball we guarantee they're going to spin this.
They said, well, I was a learning opportunity and acclaim
there was just overwhelming interest and exceeded expectations until the
(31:53):
next Baseball one off event, which turns out to be
Burning Man, uh, the reenactment of Burning Man with fire
and included so Stagium. But if you were there, I'd
love to hear from you. If you were in attendance,
And I'm guessing the amount of people that were there
in ninety one thousand, there's at least one or two
that are listening to me right now in real time.
They can give us some real time feedback on what
(32:14):
your experience was like. Does it coincide with all that
took place on the social media channels and all the
reports and the photos and the video and all that. Now, meanwhile,
keeping up with the Speedway classic theme that we began
this hour with, over the weekend, you had a heated
conversation in rain Delay filler about Big Poppy and Derek Jeter,
(32:38):
the man that could not attend the Yankee Old Timer
game later this month because his daughter has a birthday party. Anyway,
Big Poppy and El Kapatan Derek Jeter were crying on
Fox crying on Fox about La Dela Cruz being buried
in Cincinnati, bummed he's not in a big market, and
(32:58):
essentially claim that it's a shame we don't get to
see him and all this stuff. So what is your position?
What is your position on this? So this is with
a capital L, capital L a loser take. This is
just a classic example of Major League Baseball not knowing
how to promote the product, is what this one is.
(33:20):
And these old players Big Poppy and Derek Jeter complaining
and all that. They think you've got to be in
New York, LA or Boston to be relevant. Meanwhile, I
would argue it has never been easier in the history
of marketing. It has never been easier to get a
guy out in front of the public and to market them.
(33:44):
You've got all the social media, which again I'm down
on I think it's the matrix, but you have it
as a tool with TikTok, Instagram, x YouTube. It's not
nineteen eighty nine anymore. And even that, Oh, by the way,
if you want to go down that rabbit hole and
marketing and all this stuff, if you go back to
(34:04):
the nineties in Major League Baseball, the biggest star by
far played in a small market. Ken Griffy Junior in Seattle,
and he was in the air everywhere in terms of marketing.
Cal Ripkin in the eighties played in sleepy Baltimore and
was a huge deal. Tony Gwinn, mister Padre was beloved
(34:24):
in San Diego. There was no social media when those
guys were playing, and none of them played in media meccas,
and yet they were able to get it done. Hell Cincinnati,
and they had a guy named Barry Larkin who was
a very popular player for the Cincinnati Red small market Cincinnati.
The problem is not Cincinnati, it's major League Baseball being
(34:45):
stuck in the stone age, and Baseball, just in the
last couple of years is realized, well, maybe we should
embrace having our content out there and not send cease
and desist letters to anyone that uses Major League Baseball content.
And so Baseball essentially is blaming the zip code, if
you will, when the reality is they don't know how
(35:07):
to sell the stars of the game. They don't. And
La de la Cruz of the Reds, he is tailor
made for viral highlights. He's a switch hitter, he's got
electric speed, a bazooka for an arm. He's got some swag,
he's got that aura what you're looking for, and he
(35:28):
should be everywhere, should be a household name, but he's
stuck doing the mambo and the mediocrity mumbo in Cincinnati.
That's where you take a step forward, take a step back,
and shake it all about. That's the Reds. That's the
Cincinnati Reds. That's what they doubt. That's what the Reds do.
So it is inevitable. It is inevitable that he's eventually
(35:51):
going to leave Cincinnati. Why is that not because of
the marketing. It's gonna be because of the the way
the franchises run, the lack of commitment to success by
the ownership there. You think the Reds are going to
pony up and put a good roster together to win.
They figured out a way to do it in Milwaukee.
They figured out how to do it in Tampa most
(36:12):
of the time, where they put a competitive team on
the field. But Cincinnati, no, So yeah, Eventually, Big Poppy
and Derek Jeter will get their way and Cruise will
end up in La or New York or Boston or
San Francisco somewhere like that, and you can blame Major
League Baseball. You blame Rob Man for blame the owners
who won't spend in Cincinnati, and play the blame game
(36:33):
all you want. The league office that still operates often
like it's the nineteen seventy five season and not the
twenty twenty five season. So it's not a market size issue.
I maintain that it is a marketing issue. And there
was a point when baseball marketed itself as a national pastime.
It is a regional sport, but as a national pastime,
(36:55):
they would have stars everywhere and you'd want to hear
about them. Now you have regional You care about the
hometown team and all that. And here's an example. You
have one of the most electrifying players in baseball and
many people know about him, but they don't know that
much about him, and he's in the league. But that's
a failure by the league, is what that is? All right? Now?
(37:16):
Final fun to Minnesota we go follow up to the
follow up. Follow up to the follow up. The Minnesota
Twins who decided to get out of the Major League
Baseball business. They're now a bush league, minor league outfit.
The Minnesota Twins trading away almost fifty percent of their
roster at the trade deadline, So Bryan Byron Buxton, the outfielder,
(37:37):
one of the guys that was not traded away. He
was asked whether or not he is looking to relocate.
He said, quote, he is not planning on leaving after
the Twins traded almost half the team. Is he serious?
Byron Buxton, So Buckston. The way I will answer this question,
Buckston is either in denial or he's lying to himself
(38:00):
that that Minnesota clubhouse probably sounds like I would think
an echo chamber here at this point, I wasn't fifty percent,
it was like forty percent of the roster. Gonzo see
you later. That is not a retool. That is a
straight up liquidation sale, is what that is. They waved
the white flag with both ants and said that's it,
(38:22):
We're done. And don't I don't buy Buxton for a second.
I don't you don't come out and say I'm gone,
because then everyone is boo you the rest of the year,
all the seven people that show up the Twins games
the rest of the year, and he's saying like, hey,
I'm not leaving and all that stuff, and yeah, he'll
be playing for the rest of this year and likely
(38:43):
for years to come, surrounded by Triple A, Double A players.
But the only reason that you would stay in Minnesota
is because you got the bag. What's in back? Seven years?
One hundred million dollars. Hello, that's a big bag guaranteed
(39:03):
money for an outfield. And we're not talking about Juan
Soto or No, we're talking about a guy in Bustin
who's good but not great, and guaranteed Mulah and all
that stuff. That's a lot of coin. That's a lot
of money for a guy who typically spends a good
chunk of every Major League Baseball season in the injury tent,
and he's been that way for some time. But you
(39:25):
throw Egyptian linens and a hot tub in your Minneapolis
mansion and you can deal with a lot of crappy
decisions by the boss. Suddenly that rebuild doesn't feel so bad.
But ultimately, Egyptian linens aside, you can have those any
place anywhere because you've got the money. The losing sucks,
(39:46):
check clears, direct deposit, all that stuff, and so you're
essentially sleeping in a sleeping bag filled with cash money. Right,
And we have a feeling we have a feeling that
Buxton's gonna reath think things right, rethink things, and either
he's gonna ask out or they will ship him out
against his will there and he will not be back.
(40:10):
But obviously can't trade him now because the trade deadline
has passed. But that's the story in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. How
about that?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets great.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Last week, he mentioned these Saints as one of the
teams that could go into tank mode this season. Vegas
has their over under win total set at six and
a half games.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Ben, is that too many? Well, if everything breaks right
for the Saints, if they stay relatively healthy and one
of these quarterbacks turns out to be halfway decent, they
can win six games. Spider Alert, that ain't happening, Coop.
They're not winning six games. The injury rate is one
hundred percent in the NFL. Unless they've got some New
Orleans voodoo bugoloo, the Saints are going to be worse
(41:01):
than six and a half. Bet the under next.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
ESPN and NFL reached a massive deal over the weekend
that gives ESPN control over NFL media, and the NFL
has ten percent ownership of ESPN. The deal will need
federal regulatory approval before it is finalized.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Ben, do you think Trump could hold this up? Well, yes,
he has a beef with the NFL, and you know, Camo,
he would never become president if he had gotten the
bills ownership shops. All you people at hey Trump, because
you would let him own the bills. He would have
just owned the Buffalo Bills. But it's a bad deal
for fans, Coop. They're gonna put commercials on the NFL
Red zone. Like ESPN and the NFL already in bed
(41:36):
with each other, but this is next level. It is
a bad deal for the customer and it should be
tied up in court. I hope it does get tied
up in the in the legal system.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Next, the New York Knicks and Michael Bridges agreed to
a four year, one hundred and fifty million dollars extension
over the weekend. Sources said the deal happened because the
Knicks have intel that Giannis won't be requesting a trade
from the Bucks. Do you think Giannis is staying in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Well, it's it's a Michale. But listen, Yannis, I don't
think he's staying in Milwaukee. I think he doesn't want
to play for the Knicks. That's what this is about.
How did we do you pass up? That's a wed
I won for Will. I did it for Will. I
won the game. I won. I'm a winner.

This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
A very jerry kind of a weekend. Welcome in the
beginning of another week of the Ben Malors Show. We
are in the air everywhere in collaboration as we are
dreaming and stemn coast coast, border to border and beyond.
(00:59):
On the fast and talkatively powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the words the home of the
Winged Words from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And this
hour is made possible in part by our friends at
ti Iraq As Martin who works the Dreaded dayshift and
(01:21):
his daughter Julia from SoCal. They reached out to me
and see, you know, Ben, You've done so many ti
Iraq commercials. We bought ti Iraq tires because you wouldn't
stop talking about ti Iraq. All right, well, thank you
for that, Martin and Julia. We appreciate it. For over
forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
(01:43):
fast and free back by free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire mind should be. And so that's
a memo to tire Raq. Just keep buying spots and
eventually we're gonna break down everyone listening. We're gonna force
them like we forced Martin and Julia to buy tire
Iraq tires because of those commercials hour after hour after hour.
(02:06):
And we love our friends at tire Rack. But we
begin the new week the way that we left the
end of last week. There's a common theme here. There's
a common theme as we begin the new week, and
that is Jerry's world in the nard in Aux Nerd
Cowboy training Camp. And if you have not been following along,
there have been some new developments over the weekend. We
(02:29):
got you covered. We got no life, we got no life.
We got you covered. So, since we last chatted behind
these powerful booming microphones of Fox Sports Radio, Micah Parsons.
We know he had publicly requested a departure. He wanted
a one way ticket out of town. He requested a
trade Cowboy legends over the weekend, taking positions backing Micah
(02:52):
Parsons publicly, there was much angst directed at Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones advised the cowboy fan to not lose any sleep,
and don't do that. Now. We never lose any sleep.
We're up all night anyway, so it doesn't matter. We
don't lose any sleep. So let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel. The question is this, how do
(03:12):
you process the weekend events around Micah Parsons and the
issues with the Dallas Cowboys. So I've got my thoughts
on this. I've got coupon book, crypto scam, and catapulted,
and we'll combine all these things together and we're gonna
make some cinnamon roll cookies, is what we're gonna make.
(03:35):
We're gonna bake those up and we'll put those in
the oven. Then we'll take them out, we'll eat them
and they'll be wonderful, all right. So A my first
thought on this is it continues what I call the
paint by numbers formula. Do you understand what I'm saying,
the paint by numbers formula. So, Jerry Jones loves turning
the routine contract neutiation on into a full blown circus
(03:57):
under the big top. Right, there's elephants over there's clowns
over there. We've got for some reason, there's some kind
of rhino. I don't know what that's all about. He
can't help himself, and I'm there for it. Listen, my
talk show host, I'm there for it. He literally said,
right when it gets slow around here. In the past,
Jerry has said, I'll stir it up. It's all about
the spotlight. It's all about the spot It's like his
(04:20):
personal hobby. Some people go to hobby lobby and they
build stuff. Now now Jerry Jones, this is his hobby
and he's good at it. It's the game. What's in
the gate, it's the game now. Michael Parsons trade request
is not authenticated, it's not legitimate. It's not a serious,
serious trade request. It's more frustration. Annoyance is what it is.
(04:44):
And it's all part of the theater. Not that kind
of theater. It's leverage theater is what I call leverage theater.
So Michael Parsons is mad at the way this is
getting drawn out. At least that's the perception out there
that he's things have installed and they thought they had
something worked out back in March, and here we are
(05:08):
in August and nothing has gotten done. And so he
took some shots. He took some shots at the cowboys
and whatnot. But let's be clearer, just between me and you,
Michaeh Parsons does not actually want out. He doesn't. Every man,
woman and child knows this. He does not actually want
to leave the Dallas Cowboys. He just doesn't want to
be used by Jerry Jones behind closeddars doesn't want it
(05:33):
right now. This is the classic rule of drama. We've
often talked about this over my time behind these microphones.
It's right out of also the Anchorman playbook What Happened
over the Weekend Boy? That escalated quickly, as Ron Burger
he taught me years ago in that old movie. But
Michaeh Parsons goes from I love the fans, I love
the fans, I love them, I love them, I love them.
(05:55):
I want to be here, I want to be here
to I want out earns on a dime. All right,
twenty four hours. You know what that is? That is
professional wrestling, That is WWE. Heel turned. So what happened?
All right? So did Jerry Jones. I'm trying to think
what CODEB did? Jerry Jones at some point say, hey, Micah,
here's the latest offer, just between me and you. I'm
(06:17):
going to offer you a coupon book of some discount
codes to the Cowboy Team Shop instead of money. So
I'll give you the coupon book. You can go in
there and get a Cowboy souvenir koozie, you can get
pajamas with my face on it. It'd be just really cool.
Everyone loves that stuff. We sell it the Cowboy Team Shop.
What's not the like mark? Come on? You kidding me?
(06:39):
So and Jerry Jones he also knows at this point
in the story that Micah Parsons isn't going anywhere. He
isn't going anywhere. And he said, he said it himself, right,
he said it himself. He said, don't lose sleep over.
This is what the quote going around from Jerry Jones
over the weekend. Now, that is code. That's a dog
whistle or dog whistle code for it. We've got him.
(07:02):
He's not going to actually do anything that's going to
hurt the team here. He's too valuable to walk. He'll
cave in eventually. We just got to stay strong. So
Jerry's out there playing some poker and his best card
in the house there, Michah Parsons is just bluffing, just
like that. He's bluffing, and Jerry knows now, Jerry Jones
(07:24):
knows it. However, you've got the low information fan passionately
screaming pay Micah pay, michaeh a training camp there, An Oxnard.
You've got legendary cowboy players of years gone by who
are publicly taking sides, and so it's creating this chaotic
(07:46):
cloud over the cowboys, this chaotic cloud. And regardless though
Jerry does love it, he loves the chaos cloud. It's
a really good cloud for the Dallas Cowboys. There, and
you think he's stressed. You think Jerry Jones is sitting
there and he's really stressed. Oh man, I'm just putting
an actor. No, no way. In fact, I'll bet you
dollars to nonuts that Jerry Jones is sipping some Johnny
(08:07):
Walker blue on his yacht off the Pacific from Oxnard there,
and he's watching all these talking heads discuss and debate
the Dallas Cowboys and Michael Parson he's got it on
mute and he's got subtitles on. He's watching it in
the background. He's like, oh man, we nailed it. We
absolutely nailed it. Look at this coverage. Oh man, I'm
(08:28):
getting the chubby. He's all excited. Right, this is great coverage. Right,
it's noise, it's drama, It's Dallas. That's what they do
in Jerry Jones until his last breath in this mortal coil.
Jerry Jones is the director, the producer, and the lead
actor of the longest running soap opera in the NFL.
(08:49):
Dallas Cowboys are always always about the Dallas Cowboys. And
I'm not sure what year the Simpsons started. I know
Jerry took ownership, I think in eighty nine, and so
the cowboy drama has been on since eighty nine. The
Simpsons about that time, give or take, I think around
at exact time, maybe even earlier than that, and the
(09:10):
Simpsons the longest running show on television. But the Dallas
Cowboys for what they do in terms of soap oper boom,
all right now, page two. By the way, I'm told
they voice in my head tells me that the Simpsons
started in nineteen eighty nine. So that does mean that
the Cowboys and the Simpsons. You have the longest soap
opera sports soap oper the Cowboys, and you have the Simpsons,
(09:31):
the longest running cartoon anyway. So turning the pace, So
what are the now, I'm of the position that there
will be no trade. There is going to be a deal.
I maintain my position that this week worked out. There'll
be a Jay Glazer story that pops up on the
NFL on Fox pregame show right before the start of
the season saying they've worked out a deal at the
(09:52):
eleventh hour. Micah Parson is going to sign a record
setting contract with the Dallas Cowboys. However, for the purposes
of talk radio, what are the odds that Jerry Jones
ends up eventually doing a one pint eighty on Micah
Parsons and that I'm wrong and you're wrong, and the
person over there is wrong, and Michah Parsons ends up
(10:14):
being packaged somewhere else. So the Mallard of Sports Book
odds as you know, these are the odds of record,
the malor of sports book odds plus two thousand that
Michael Parsons eventually gets traded. Now, that is not zero,
That is not zero. That implies a less than five
percent chances, slightly less than five percent chance that Michael
(10:36):
Parsons is repackaged somewhere else. Now, how would that work?
How would that work? So Michael Parsons was someone that
was singing Kumbaya with Jerry Jones for the first couple
of years of his career. Now they're talking about money,
so they're fighting all that. But the way it would work,
Parsons has, in the eyes of Jerry Jones, the wrong agent,
(10:58):
which is any agent, and Jerry hates agents. He especially
appears to have a strong distaste for David mulla Getta,
the agent for Micah Parson. So Jerry, here's the name Mullaghetta, right,
that's Michael Parson's agent. And he thinks that's gotta be
some kind of crypto scheme or something like that. You know,
he's an old guy. I don't know what this is.
And so mulla Getta thinks he's reinvented how agents do business, right,
(11:25):
he's the smartest guy in the room. And maybe he is.
I don't know. I never heard of the guy a
couple of years ago, and all of a sudden he
got that sleezeball Deshaun Watson all that money. Well everyone
knew he was a sleezeball, and Mullagetta was able to
convince the dummies in Cleveland to set a record amount
of guaranteed money. So who knows this guy, David Mullageda
might be the smartest guy in the room anyway, So
(11:46):
Jerry Mullageda thinks he's cracked the system, and Jerry just says,
there is no cracking of the system. I am the
system and that's it. And so you have this urinating match,
flexing muscles and all that stuff. And Jerry's of course
got a mind. You whose name is on the deed
to the Dallas Cowboys and all that stuff. So what
would the return be in that hypothetical demension where Micah
(12:09):
Parsons were to be relocated? So you're not just flipping,
You're not flip flopping the guy for a couple of
second round picks and journeyman defensive back. That's not how
this would work. And under that scenario, Jerry Jones will
stand up with his megaphone, as Jerry is known to
do at a news conference, and he will first of
(12:32):
all say I did not want to trade Micah, but
Micah left me no choice. He wanted out. We got
some value in return for Micah, and we're excited about
these picks. We think there'll be good players. We love
young defensive players. And we don't know who we're going
to pick, but some guy from East North Southwest University.
We think very exciting, very very exciting. But the only
(12:55):
way to make the trade is for Micah Parsons to
fully burn the house down. So what he did with
that opening salvo did not burn the house down, Like
I'm talking a full blown, right, full blown social media
sports terrorism. The more than just cryptic posts on Instagram
(13:16):
liking comments about the Philadelphia Eagles and wanting to play
for the Philadelphia Eagles unfollowing the team. Of course, the
nuclear option. There's a couple of ways to go about this.
But guess what he might might you Micah already asked
for a trade, So he already asked for a trade,
So he just cracked the door open a little bit.
(13:36):
It seems like a faux ask at this particular point
in time, and Jerry just has to walk through it.
I'm not going to do it now, and doesn't have
to do it now. There's no reason to do it.
The season starts in a month, and at that point,
that's when it gets real. In terms of what would
actually come back to the Dallas Cowboys. He's saying you start,
(13:57):
the starting point would be at least not one, but
two first round draft picks, which would make a lot
of sense for a team that is likely going to
be picking near the bottom. If you're in Kansas City,
for example, under this hypothetical multiverse, if you're a team
like the Chiefs, and you know for the next concept
couple of years, because of Mahomes and Andy Reid, you're
(14:19):
going to be one of the better teams in the NFL.
Even if you go down a little bit, you're still
gonna be one of the better teams in the NFL.
So why would you not trade two first round picks
to get a twenty six year old, Yeah, pay him,
but to get a guy who's in his twenties who's good,
but who knows if he plays well in big games?
He hasn't done that yet. So a team like that
would make sense. A team like that would make sense.
(14:41):
And so you know, it's not so much about the
picks or whatever in this case, it would be about
the power for Jerry Jones. And if you cross Jerry Jones,
if you get on the bad side of Jerry Jones,
if you do that, you pay the price. And Jerry's
not gonna let some agent, some Weasley agent with a
weird last name, dictate terms in his building because he's
(15:04):
the Dallas cowboy, you know, same old cowboys, always chasing
the shadows, the ghosts, the Poulter guys to the nineteen
nineties cowboys. And it's not the multiverse in this case,
it's the Jerry Verse. It's the Jerry Verse there and
a trade is not likely. Again not likely, but it
is not impossible either, And we're going less than five
(15:25):
percent in the multiverse. There's always a dimension in the
multiverse which is a spin off of the Jerry Verse.
There's always a dimension where Micah Parsons is repackaged, and
he's repackaged for some berries, some apples, some strawberries, apples,
and then you're throw in like maybe I don't know
(15:47):
what else could you throw in there? A cantelope, like
a nice cantilope? Shere whenna all right? Now, last word?
Here we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami. The sound
of the day. We have audio. Here's Mike McDaniel, I mean,
Tyreek Hill the other day broke down why he thought
the Dolphins should not feature the there running back there
(16:08):
they're they're generally they're starting running back in the short
yardede situation. Well, here's the head coach commenting on the
defensive or the lack of defense of the mouth of
Tyreek Killis.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I thought it was a genius reporting by Tyreek, seeing
how we had a short yardage period that very day
that you guys, you guys were in attendance for, and
his suggestion was, I guess, uh congruent with coach Studentsville.
That's exactly how he we wrapped the backs in that
shortyard period that very day.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But we thought it was funny that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He reported the news that wasn't news on that practice
day in that shortyards period that you guys were all
there too for.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, all right, So that's that's Mike McDaniel. It's sund
of little lot to me. Mike McDaniel, the Dolphin head coach,
not pleased with Tyreek Hill and the public critique of
the Dolphin short yardage package, saying, as you heard there,
he reported news that wasn't news. So what does this
signify to you? What does it signify to you? So
(17:17):
translation from the coach who sounded like he just put
his long down. Shut up Tyreek. That's what he wanted
to say. He didn't say that, but that's what he
wanted to say. You don't get just get speed when
you have Tyreek Hill. You don't just get the speed.
You don't do that. It's the all inclusive Tyreek experience,
(17:40):
the all inclusive Tyreek experience, which is not just speed.
You get the drama, you get the sound bites, you
get controversy on Asle five. There's a spell on Aisle five,
there's some controversy. It's like a hard rock hotel meets TMZ,
I have a child, and it's Tyreek Hill right over there.
One minute he's torching a defensive back for a touchdown
(18:00):
and dancing and prancing and having a fine time, and
the next he's torching his own team. The fact that
he's still there I continue to be fascinated the fact
that he is still hanging out at good old Miami
front office, the coaching staff. Tyreek wanted out. He's at
a point in his career where this is likely going
to go real bad, and the Dolphins kept him around.
(18:23):
It's wild, right, and so it continues to be a
tinder box of a situation for the Dolphins. And we've
seen this movie hundreds of times in the last twenty
years in the NFL. The moment Tyreek hills forty times,
the moment it drops just a little bit a tenth
of a second, The moment goes down about a tenth
(18:43):
of a second. He's getting catapulted out of Miami like
an ejector's seat on a fighter jet in the Air Force.
It's just hit the ejack button and see you later.
Bye bye, bye bye. And Mike McDaniel knows it. Everyone
knows it. Right. You're done, You're gone, see you later.
(19:04):
They're not keeping you around for sentimental value. That's not
out of words. It's Bill Parcells one oh one, old
school NFL. When the production outweighs the aggravation, you keep him.
When the aggregation outweighs the production you say bye bye,
and you get rid of him just like that. And
it's a simple malar math, simple malar math, and Tyreek
(19:25):
working on a deficit. Right now at this moment, you
can tell McDaniel's annoyed, although he always seems like he's
medicating himself, so he's not too annoyed. He's got that
passive aggressive nerd rage bubbling up as much as it
can trying to get through the weed haze under the
service and all that stuff. But that bottom line here,
Tyreek Hill is great until he's not and and then
(19:49):
that's it. And if he's not, then the Dolphins are
going to throw him, throw him overboard, and throw him out,
much like you would throw rotten milk out of your refrigerator,
because it's to smell up everything they're in said refrigerator.

(21:20):
tire iraq dot com, the Way Tire Buying showb So
our lead this hour is from what I'm calling the
Bristol Boondoggle, the Bristol Boondoggle, the best laid plans of
mice men and Major League Baseball. Now someone named Eli White.
Eli White, Apparently that's a player for the Atlanta baseball team.
(21:43):
Eli White hit a three run homer, also had a
solo shot, and the Atlanta Bros betea Cincinnati Reds forty
two the game on Sunday, the rain delade, the rain
to laid. Major League Baseball Speedway Classic played at the
iconic Bristol Motor speed the first ever Major League Baseball
game played in Tennessee. It was supposed to be played
(22:06):
on Saturday. Now they say that ninety one thousand brave
souls were in attendance. They showed up men, women, and
children to that game on Sunday. However, that's not the story,
all right, That is not the story here. If you
were watching the mess happen in real time, you'll likely
(22:27):
know what took place on Saturday. If not, if you
missed it because you were out doing stuff, maybe you
didn't hear what happened. Possibly not. So the game itself,
which was the showcase for baseball, the vehicle to showcase
the Bristol Motor Speedway. Major League Baseball is crossover, this
confab all that. So the game itself took a back
(22:48):
seat to what happened on Saturday. So if you were there,
I'd love to hear from you to either validate what
I'm hearing or to dismiss what I'm hearing. So the
Majorly Baseball Speedway Classic was promoted as a spectacle. Oh,
you had to be there. But they had this massive
rain delay that did not subside on Saturday. It was
(23:12):
supposed to be nationally broadcast on Fox, so the game
was put on hold. But that was just the tip
of the spear. You also had a logistical nightmare for
fans in attendance at the game on Saturday. Now, issues
with just about everything from a customer relations standpoint. So
let us discuss the question is this, how do you
(23:34):
sum up Rob Manford's Major League Baseball showcase in Tennessee
there and the game at Bristol Motors Speedway. So I've
got bonfire, mumbo and Egyptian linens and we will combine
all of these things together and we will go bugget
(23:54):
and mugging and mugging and mugging and mugging. Let's race,
all right? So first of all, be careful what you
ask for, right, be careful what you ask for. That's
my first life major League Baseball. As we said, they
wanted a spectacle, they wanted a spectacle, and oh did
they get a spectacle? Man? Did they get a spectacle? Uh?
(24:15):
And just not the kind they had anticipated they were
going to get. They didn't anticipate this. Major League Baseball
was pumping its chest out. They were all hyped up.
Another great moment, storybook moment for Major League Baseball. Bristol
Motor Speedway, first ever Major League Baseball game build as
this grand you know, genre building moment, and it was
(24:35):
a novelty event, but it was something you'd pass on.
So I was there, and for many people it turned
into a very soggy, stomach turning circus, if you will.
On Saturday, and if you squinted hard enough, very briefly,
they tried to play through the monsoon there in Tennessee
and the Appalachian downpour. They tried to play through. It
(24:57):
didn't really work, and the pouring down it seemed like
there was some fog out there, and you might have
seen baseball briefly on Saturday, just a little glimpse of baseball,
or at least the ghost of a baseball game before
they pulled the plug and said that's it. And heck,
the Fox broadcast team didn't even know that the game
(25:18):
had been called for the night. They thought they were
still waiting around to play baseball. So that is part
of it. But what the fan got, the fan got
the burd is what the fan got right. What the
fan got was Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival.
And that is the point of demarcation, right that music
event where they didn't have any food and people were
(25:40):
sweating and profusely and then they travel accommodations that were
promised were not There was a disaster. So this was
being compared to Major League Baseball's version of the Fire Festival.
From the standpoint to be fair, I don't think Jah
Rule was involved in this, so he was not there.
He didn't promise anything. So instead of sandwiches with no meat,
(26:04):
they had nachos with no cheese. What do you call
nachos with no cheese? Chips is what you call it.
They had hot dogs without a bun. They didn't have
they ran out of buns apparently for the hot dogs.
And the rain, see like the rain part of it
that happens, you can't really say, well, that's Baseball's fault.
(26:25):
I as much as I love to pick and prod
and poke major League Baseball, you can't really say, hey,
you know, this is the issue here the rain, because
that you know, you can't predict one hundred percent it's
going to rain or it's not gonna rain in all
that stuff. Two hour delay, zero contingency plan on Saturday.
That will make that a strike. It's not an out,
(26:47):
it's a strike. So that strike one, no contingency plan
on Saturday. People waiting around you had empty concessions. These
are boots on the ground reporting empty concessions before first pitch,
running out of food before first pitch. Strike two. And
the kicker of kickers. And this is from people who
(27:08):
are in attendance. They said the infrastructure designed to get
people into Bristol Motor Speedway for the baseball game revolved
around multiple shuttles to get in. There was no explanation
from anyone wearing those dopey Major League Baseball polos on
how exactly to do it. So that is strike three.
You're out, see you later, goodbye. Right now. The fans
(27:31):
were certainly out of luck, there's no question about that.
They're also out of food, and many of them, based
on the commentary, very very upset and out of patience
with what happened. So listen, it takes a special kind
of hubris from Rob Manford and all the underlings in
(27:52):
the mafioso of Major League Baseball, the Organized Baseball Committee
to cram tens of thousands of humanity fans into a
NASCAR stadium turned ballpark as Frankenstein set up there for
baseball and not consider, hey, maybe we should go through
(28:13):
the logistics on how these people are gonna get in
here and get out of here, or you know, what
to do if there is a weather situation, or the
bathrooms or the food. And it looks like either they
didn't consider any of those things or they just didn't care.
They just didn't care. So but hey, they apparently had
(28:34):
a lot of beer and they had peanuts. So that's
what they had beer and peanuts, and that's all you need.
And so that to me is like nineteen eighties style
high school football hospitality. Beer might have beer, nineteen eighties
high school football, they had peanuts, get your peanuts now,
but twenty twenty five, so it doesn't really work. And
(28:55):
now the biggest insult though Major League Baseball, the ham
fisted attempt by Major League Baseball to brand this as
a social media spectacle. Now, that is where this goes
next level, That is where this becomes the fire Festival.
Major League Baseball saying, hey, this is going to be
a social media spectacle. So they handed the fan, They
(29:17):
handed the fan the right the cameras. Everyone's got cameras
these days. Forgetting that the phone points both ways, if
you know what I mean, The phone points both the way.
So what Major League Baseball in the marketing meeting in
Manhattan thought was going to be in their head, this
glitzy day of trending topics baseball would dominate the weekend
(29:42):
on the socials, And it turned out to be a
digital bonfire for Major League Baseball, with photos documenting mile
long shuttle lines to get to the stadium. Fans had
the receipts, right, they had the receipts from the entire event.
It was a a disaster, and many people pointing out
(30:02):
the way that this sums up Major League Baseball's operation.
People in ankle deep puddles in the stadium, the nachos
without cheese, the hot dogs without buns, all of that,
everything documented for posterity's sake and saved for time. And
so everything's getting frozen in images and video of the
(30:27):
logistical failure, the spectacular debacle of Rob Manford and Major
League Baseball in real time. And this is not just
a one off. Mind you, this is not just one
off because the priority is never the fan. They don't
care about the fans. There's seventeen million streaming services to
watch major League Baseball. They're asking you to pirate major
(30:49):
League Baseball because otherwise you gotta pay for the Hulu
game of the week. You gotta get to the you know,
the Peacock game of the week, this game, that game,
all that stuff, and it's not about the actual fan.
They you know, it must like a lot of these
places that used to give you something and make you
feel like you were getting a lot more than that.
(31:10):
They've cut back on that. But major League Baseball they
want the headlines. They thought they were gonna get the
hashtags and not have to do the heavy lifting and
all that, and surprise, surprise, surprise. H fans there, as
we said, were documenting all of the logistical failures one
after another. Right, and you go back and you talk
about Baseball some of the events they've done. This is
(31:31):
the new strategy to have these one off events. You
remember the Field of Dreams game in Iowa. For a
lot of people was Field of screams. Who attended that
game and Baseball we guarantee they're going to spin this.
They said, well, I was a learning opportunity and acclaim
there was just overwhelming interest and exceeded expectations until the
(31:53):
next Baseball one off event, which turns out to be
Burning Man, uh, the reenactment of Burning Man with fire
and included so Stagium. But if you were there, I'd
love to hear from you. If you were in attendance,
And I'm guessing the amount of people that were there
in ninety one thousand, there's at least one or two
that are listening to me right now in real time.
They can give us some real time feedback on what
(32:14):
your experience was like. Does it coincide with all that
took place on the social media channels and all the
reports and the photos and the video and all that. Now, meanwhile,
keeping up with the Speedway classic theme that we began
this hour with, over the weekend, you had a heated
conversation in rain Delay filler about Big Poppy and Derek Jeter,
(32:38):
the man that could not attend the Yankee Old Timer
game later this month because his daughter has a birthday party. Anyway,
Big Poppy and El Kapatan Derek Jeter were crying on
Fox crying on Fox about La Dela Cruz being buried
in Cincinnati, bummed he's not in a big market, and
(32:58):
essentially claim that it's a shame we don't get to
see him and all this stuff. So what is your position?
What is your position on this? So this is with
a capital L, capital L a loser take. This is
just a classic example of Major League Baseball not knowing
how to promote the product, is what this one is.
(33:20):
And these old players Big Poppy and Derek Jeter complaining
and all that. They think you've got to be in
New York, LA or Boston to be relevant. Meanwhile, I
would argue it has never been easier in the history
of marketing. It has never been easier to get a
guy out in front of the public and to market them.
(33:44):
You've got all the social media, which again I'm down
on I think it's the matrix, but you have it
as a tool with TikTok, Instagram, x YouTube. It's not
nineteen eighty nine anymore. And even that, Oh, by the way,
if you want to go down that rabbit hole and
marketing and all this stuff, if you go back to
(34:04):
the nineties in Major League Baseball, the biggest star by
far played in a small market. Ken Griffy Junior in Seattle,
and he was in the air everywhere in terms of marketing.
Cal Ripkin in the eighties played in sleepy Baltimore and
was a huge deal. Tony Gwinn, mister Padre was beloved
(34:24):
in San Diego. There was no social media when those
guys were playing, and none of them played in media meccas,
and yet they were able to get it done. Hell Cincinnati,
and they had a guy named Barry Larkin who was
a very popular player for the Cincinnati Red small market Cincinnati.
The problem is not Cincinnati, it's major League Baseball being
(34:45):
stuck in the stone age, and Baseball, just in the
last couple of years is realized, well, maybe we should
embrace having our content out there and not send cease
and desist letters to anyone that uses Major League Baseball content.
And so Baseball essentially is blaming the zip code, if
you will, when the reality is they don't know how
(35:07):
to sell the stars of the game. They don't. And
La de la Cruz of the Reds, he is tailor
made for viral highlights. He's a switch hitter, he's got
electric speed, a bazooka for an arm. He's got some swag,
he's got that aura what you're looking for, and he
(35:28):
should be everywhere, should be a household name, but he's
stuck doing the mambo and the mediocrity mumbo in Cincinnati.
That's where you take a step forward, take a step back,
and shake it all about. That's the Reds. That's the
Cincinnati Reds. That's what they doubt. That's what the Reds do.
So it is inevitable. It is inevitable that he's eventually
(35:51):
going to leave Cincinnati. Why is that not because of
the marketing. It's gonna be because of the the way
the franchises run, the lack of commitment to success by
the ownership there. You think the Reds are going to
pony up and put a good roster together to win.
They figured out a way to do it in Milwaukee.
They figured out how to do it in Tampa most
(36:12):
of the time, where they put a competitive team on
the field. But Cincinnati, no, So yeah, Eventually, Big Poppy
and Derek Jeter will get their way and Cruise will
end up in La or New York or Boston or
San Francisco somewhere like that, and you can blame Major
League Baseball. You blame Rob Man for blame the owners
who won't spend in Cincinnati, and play the blame game
(36:33):
all you want. The league office that still operates often
like it's the nineteen seventy five season and not the
twenty twenty five season. So it's not a market size issue.
I maintain that it is a marketing issue. And there
was a point when baseball marketed itself as a national pastime.
It is a regional sport, but as a national pastime,
(36:55):
they would have stars everywhere and you'd want to hear
about them. Now you have regional You care about the
hometown team and all that. And here's an example. You
have one of the most electrifying players in baseball and
many people know about him, but they don't know that
much about him, and he's in the league. But that's
a failure by the league, is what that is? All right? Now?
(37:16):
Final fun to Minnesota we go follow up to the
follow up. Follow up to the follow up. The Minnesota
Twins who decided to get out of the Major League
Baseball business. They're now a bush league, minor league outfit.
The Minnesota Twins trading away almost fifty percent of their
roster at the trade deadline, So Bryan Byron Buxton, the outfielder,
(37:37):
one of the guys that was not traded away. He
was asked whether or not he is looking to relocate.
He said, quote, he is not planning on leaving after
the Twins traded almost half the team. Is he serious?
Byron Buxton, So Buckston. The way I will answer this question,
Buckston is either in denial or he's lying to himself
(38:00):
that that Minnesota clubhouse probably sounds like I would think
an echo chamber here at this point, I wasn't fifty percent,
it was like forty percent of the roster. Gonzo see
you later. That is not a retool. That is a
straight up liquidation sale, is what that is. They waved
the white flag with both ants and said that's it,
(38:22):
We're done. And don't I don't buy Buxton for a second.
I don't you don't come out and say I'm gone,
because then everyone is boo you the rest of the year,
all the seven people that show up the Twins games
the rest of the year, and he's saying like, hey,
I'm not leaving and all that stuff, and yeah, he'll
be playing for the rest of this year and likely
(38:43):
for years to come, surrounded by Triple A, Double A players.
But the only reason that you would stay in Minnesota
is because you got the bag. What's in back? Seven years?
One hundred million dollars. Hello, that's a big bag guaranteed
(39:03):
money for an outfield. And we're not talking about Juan
Soto or No, we're talking about a guy in Bustin
who's good but not great, and guaranteed Mulah and all
that stuff. That's a lot of coin. That's a lot
of money for a guy who typically spends a good
chunk of every Major League Baseball season in the injury tent,
and he's been that way for some time. But you
(39:25):
throw Egyptian linens and a hot tub in your Minneapolis
mansion and you can deal with a lot of crappy
decisions by the boss. Suddenly that rebuild doesn't feel so bad.
But ultimately, Egyptian linens aside, you can have those any
place anywhere because you've got the money. The losing sucks,
(39:46):
check clears, direct deposit, all that stuff, and so you're
essentially sleeping in a sleeping bag filled with cash money. Right,
And we have a feeling we have a feeling that
Buxton's gonna reath think things right, rethink things, and either
he's gonna ask out or they will ship him out
against his will there and he will not be back.
(40:10):
But obviously can't trade him now because the trade deadline
has passed. But that's the story in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. How
about that?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets great.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Last week, he mentioned these Saints as one of the
teams that could go into tank mode this season. Vegas
has their over under win total set at six and
a half games.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Ben, is that too many? Well, if everything breaks right
for the Saints, if they stay relatively healthy and one
of these quarterbacks turns out to be halfway decent, they
can win six games. Spider Alert, that ain't happening, Coop.
They're not winning six games. The injury rate is one
hundred percent in the NFL. Unless they've got some New
Orleans voodoo bugoloo, the Saints are going to be worse
(41:01):
than six and a half. Bet the under next.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
ESPN and NFL reached a massive deal over the weekend
that gives ESPN control over NFL media, and the NFL
has ten percent ownership of ESPN. The deal will need
federal regulatory approval before it is finalized.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Ben, do you think Trump could hold this up? Well, yes,
he has a beef with the NFL, and you know, Camo,
he would never become president if he had gotten the
bills ownership shops. All you people at hey Trump, because
you would let him own the bills. He would have
just owned the Buffalo Bills. But it's a bad deal
for fans, Coop. They're gonna put commercials on the NFL
Red zone. Like ESPN and the NFL already in bed
(41:36):
with each other, but this is next level. It is
a bad deal for the customer and it should be
tied up in court. I hope it does get tied
up in the in the legal system.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Next, the New York Knicks and Michael Bridges agreed to
a four year, one hundred and fifty million dollars extension
over the weekend. Sources said the deal happened because the
Knicks have intel that Giannis won't be requesting a trade
from the Bucks. Do you think Giannis is staying in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Well, it's it's a Michale. But listen, Yannis, I don't
think he's staying in Milwaukee. I think he doesn't want
to play for the Knicks. That's what this is about.
How did we do you pass up? That's a wed
I won for Will. I did it for Will. I
won the game. I won. I'm a winner.
