Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Waking up from the Hybernation situation. Welcome in the beginning
of another week of the Benmahlor Show. We are in
the air everywhere companions late at night.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
As we know, radio is the cockroad, especially nighttime radio,
cockroad to the media. It survives everything, literally everything coast
to coast, border to border and beyond. On the vast
and sharply powerful microphones of fs are am mundating live.
Do it live from the craft as we handcraft. The
(01:16):
quality of the sports takes here from the Fox Sports
Radio studios as approved by the Snooker. I don't know
who that is, but he says he'll be at the
Mallard Meet and Greet in Vegas less than a week
away from that. He lives in Vegas, so it's convenient
for him, but we'll be hanging out there. And this
portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in part
(01:36):
by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
ti iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com the way
tire buying should be. So I leave this hour is
(01:57):
from Los Angeles, and that is where the showdown, which
looked like a mismatch coming into the weekend, the NL
West Showdown, the pod Squad in the cat bird seat
leading the nationallygue West at the start of the weekend,
taking on the Dodgers who had been floundering, seemingly not
giving a rats ass about competing in Major League Baseball
(02:19):
since the start of July, the big bad Dodgers who
were just bad, bad to the bone, and taking on
the pottery. So they've matched up this weekend. I assume
you know what happened by now, but maybe not. Perhaps
you were not paying attention. Bad job by you. So
Mookie bets, Mookie bets who'd been stealing money for four
months from the Dodgers, hit a tie breaking solo home run,
(02:41):
and the Dodgers, who blew a four run lead on Sunday,
but that eighth inning home run enough and the Dodgers
end up beating the Potteries five to four, and they
now sweep that series. They have a two game lead.
Just like that, go from down one to up to
in the division. Freddie Freeman started the offense earlier. The
(03:05):
Dodgers jumped all over you darbish at the beginning of
the game. Freddy Freeman eatee a two strike, three run dinger,
and then Andy Piez also hit home run for the
Dodgers early on, but they blew that lead. Tyler Glass,
now unable to complete the mission and just nurse the lead,
not able to not get that done, so the Dodgers
opened the series again trailing by game. They end up
(03:28):
sweeping the Podres and outscored them by eight runs over
the weekend, so they get the victory and are in
first place. The Dodgers out hitting the Podres the Potters
who had the Potters actually had more hits. I should
say than that, I don't said that right. The Dodgers
had more hits than the the The Potters had more
(03:50):
hits than the Dodgers. The problem, if the man could
speak that way up. The problem for San Diego was
they could not get hits with runners in scoring position.
They had twenty opportunities over the week and three for twenty.
That's say, one fifty batting average for the team from
Sandygo nineteen runners in scoring position over the weekend. So
I we'll talk about this and the storyline going into it,
(04:13):
and what the storyline is coming out of it here
and immediately, of course my inbox filled up with messages
varying degrees of rage. I tried to tell you, Mallard,
tried to tell you. You didn't listen. You're just being
a shock jock. That's why you're doing overnights because you
ripped the Dodgers. They didn't deserve to be ripped. The
(04:34):
bad job by you, right, it's all the puffing the
chest out because the Dodgers swept the pod race. Ce Ben,
I told you the Dodgers are fine. Dave Roberts is
a great manager, and they're okay, And you don't know
what you're talking about. Yeah, okay, you just overreacted. Blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. It was that. I'm
(04:55):
paraphrasing some of that, but it was the gist of
the conversation. So let us discuss the question. Does the
weekends sweep by the Dodgers prove that Dave Roberts and
the boys are fine? Everything's great here? They swept the
Padres and they're on track? Does it prove all that?
(05:15):
So that is the question. I've got bay Watch, chicken legs,
and Neon sign and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna put the biscuit in
the basket. All right, We're gonna put the biscuit in
the basket. So to answer the question, does the weekend
sweep of the Padres by the Dodgers prove that Dave
(05:36):
robertson company, they're on track, everything is good to go,
and that all this outrage, all this anger was misguided.
And I'm shaking my head. No, absolutely not. Are you
kidding me? Are you dumb? I mean, if anything, if
you take a couple of steps back and look at
(05:56):
the landscape and look at what happened, if anything, this
proves the exact opposite that the hypothesis was spot on.
That what I saw was proof that the way the
Dodgers had performed the last two much they were mailing
it in. They were mailing it. That's an indictment on
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers. I think mailed in like
(06:17):
it was an America Online back in the nineties. Baby,
slow and clunky, and that's it might as well charged
by the hour's ridiculous dial up internet. That's the way
they were playing for the last two months. And so
this weekend shows you you watch the way they played,
shows you that they have been floating along, floating along
(06:41):
some kind of an episode of Baywatch back in the day,
and they're waiting for Pamela Anderson to come out there
and blow the whistle and drag them out of the surf.
And in this case, they woke up and beat up
the Podres. And now they played the Rockies, which are
a minor league team, and then they played the Padres again.
So we'll see how things go u this week. But
they've clearly been coasting. There's other injuries. Oh yeah, okay,
(07:05):
the deepest team of all time, Yeah, they've had injuries. Backups,
are playing and spoiler alert, they're not playing well. Uh,
And so I stand by I stand by tough love
Malard monologues I do when it comes to the Dodgers. Uh,
they've been on the inner tube, floating on the lazy river,
having a cocktail on the lazy river for the last
(07:26):
couple of months, just drifting along la la la la
la la la la la la la la la sandbagging,
if you will, in the month of July and the
month of August, which is unbecoming. It is unbecoming is
the word I will use here. And you pick up
bad habits, bad habits which are not easy to break.
(07:48):
They're not now Page two. Can the Doyers just turn
it on in October? Imagine they'll go back and lose
a game or two against the Rockies, and and they'll
go back to their losing before the end of the
regular season. So I asked the question, Can the Dodgers
just turn it on in October and like they're flipping
(08:09):
some kind of light switch and that's it? So can they?
Sure they can? But generally speak, generally speaking, it doesn't happen.
Maybe one out of a thousand, one out of five
thousand it doesn't happen all that often. It's just that
Dodger Hubris, which I don't like. I do not like that,
and they don't care what I think. But the Dodgers
(08:31):
the way they've been approaching this season, they got off
to a good start and then they played bad for
about a month and then they played okay, and then
they've been backing the Doldrums and all that stuff. But
it's it's kind of like showing up to run a marathon.
Can see the ball, You're gonna run the Boston Marathon,
and you're like, I am not going to train to
(08:53):
run the Boston Marathon. I don't need to train, and
I'll just jog around the block a couple of times
and I'll carbload and then I'm going to run the marathon.
And that'll work out for a while. Then eventually, at
some point you're gonna hit heartbreakhell, and your heart will break,
you'll die, that'll be that. But you'll be puking on
(09:15):
the sidewalk somewhere, and that's what's going to be happening.
And so that's the way it goes. The Dinners have
so much more talent. Everyone says that, oh there's so
much more talented than anyone else in the National League.
And yet you compare and contrast the way they approach
the games to the Milwaukee Brewers, who did lose on Sunday.
But man, what a juxtaposition between the brew crew and
(09:37):
the Dodgers there and again they got a bunch of
guys that are floaters on that team. And you don't
want the floaters, right, they just coasting along and Dave
Roberts out there acting like the lifeguard on break, if
you will, and sitting in his chair twirling, you know,
the whistle. There all will be fun, Everything's all right,
everything'll be okay, Yeah, okay, we'll swim when it matt,
(10:00):
we will swim when it matters. They're like, okay, don't
tell me about the regular seasons, doesn't matter. Blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
But the Dodgers in any ways, like the kid who
gets straight a's on the homework and then cannot complete
the final you know, you all know that person. Of course,
it's changed now with chat ept now it's changed a lot.
(10:23):
But it's it's like they've in no way to look
at it like they've been skipping leg day because they
don't want to do the leg day there and their
upper body is big and beefy and they have a
big roster they can flex and all that stuff. And
then when you need your legs in crunch time, you
got that chicken leg thing. You got that chicken leg
and chicken legs never a good thing, never a good
(10:45):
thing in that situation. So you just can't support the
weight and you come crumbling down, down, down, down under
under pressure. So I don't want to hear. Well, they
proved it. They proved it. You were wrong. No again,
dods proved I was right that they had this in
them and they didn't approach it the right way. And
(11:05):
they approach it the right way this weekend and they
beat up the Podreys and congratulations, and they didn't prove
they're fine because they're capable of coasting along yet again
and losing to inferior opponents. What it proved is that
Dave Roberts has done a bad job. The team is
too comfortable. There's no edge to this team. They're too
(11:26):
casual and they're too content. That again I go back
to the word arrogance that they are so sure of
themselves that the regular season they just being cruise control.
And that's it. That is not championship behavior. It is not.
That is not the way that you have success in October.
(11:49):
It's not. That is puke in your mouth baseball. It's
sandbagging nonsense. All right, I'm gonna turn the page on that.
We're gonna go now. Last where we go to Boston.
We had a fan player brew haha. That took place
on a lazy Sunday afternoon at Fenway, that is where
(12:11):
the Marlins right fielders, someone named Dane Myers. I have
no idea who it is, but Dane Myers apparently he's
an outfielder for the Marlins, which is like barely a
major league team. It's like a minor league slash major
league team. So Dane Myers hit a tying home run
in the ninth inning and Miami rallied passed the sacks
(12:31):
to get the win. Myers got into it though, with
a couple of fans that were heckling out, heckling him
out in the bleachers in right field, and then that began.
In the eighth inning, the Red Sox led three to two.
At that point, we were told that continued in the
ninth he Homer then Jacob Marcy, the guy that lit
up the Cleveland Former Indians last week. Marcy followed he
(12:54):
had a two out or two run shot that put
the Marlins ahead in that game. So Miami end up
winning the game. But the story here is the interaction
between the player in this case, Dane Myers, and the
Red Sox fan and fans in this case because the
Gestapo there, the police of Finway kicking multiple fans out
(13:17):
of their seeds, out of their seats because of words. Now,
Myers would not get into specifics. He did not say
exactly what was said, although he engaged the fans, he
got into it with the fans. He said. The only
thing he said was that the fans were drinking too much.
I'm paraphrasing some of this, but they were. They had
too many beers, and that he said he needs to
(13:40):
handle this more like a pro and just be a
little bit better, which sounds like something that came from
the Marlins PR department. That he was just parroting what
the PR people told him to say. So, how does
the Marlins outfielder Dane Myers having a multiple multiple Red
Sox fans were moved, heckling Red sock fans. How does
(14:01):
that sit with you? All right? So on this one,
it sits rotten. Rotten is what it says. Because here's
the thing you can't be. And this is the way
I approached. And we've had a lot of these instances
that have taken place, all right, these fan player situations
that pop up. But you can't be the big, strong
chisel professional athlete living the dream, right and then get
(14:25):
rattled by a middle aged dude or dudes in cargo
shorts who are multiple Sam Adams past the wind, you know,
beer belly yelling at you you stink or worse from
ten feet away because you're the one. The minimum salary
(14:47):
in baseball is an absurd amount of money. You're laughing
all the way to the bank here. You are financially
in great shape here, and you sit there and you
close out your mind. You don't worry about what is
being said, and you think about all that money you're making. Well,
these people are paying money to watch you play, right,
It's like these interactions these and I don't know this
(15:10):
and this is a soft generation. I got it. I understand,
they're all soft We got you, I understand. But still
at some point don't these guys have to realize, like,
what are we doing here? Like it's like Superman calling
the cops because oh my god, Lex Luthor gave me
a dirty look. I'm calling the cops. We know you're Superman.
What are you doing? You're not supposed to do that.
(15:30):
It's a bad job by you. And again it goes
back to what we have to start this at a
young age. Dixon stones may bake my bones, but names
will never hurt me, and just go with that nursery rhyme.
And that's it, that old dusty nursery rhyme which has
passed the test of time, generation, generation, et cetera. Instead, instead,
(15:50):
what you have done, and this happens universally when when
you end up having fans remove from their seats because
of heckling, what you have done is hand it out
the troll playbook. You've given every drunk, everyone who aspires
to be a troll. You have given them the green light,
and you say, Okay, this guy can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Mister softy, it's a mister softy.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And then boom, you can get in this guy's head
right in that. And it's like you're you're in traffic
and and somebody cuts you off, and instead of just
honking your horn or what I do is I give
these subtle under the dashboard bird. They can't see it.
The other car can't see that. I'm giving them the
number one sign. They can't see them, but I'm giving
(16:38):
them the universal sign under the dashboard, and I hank
my horn and that's it. Where I'm done with it.
But none of this is like, hey, I'm not gonna
move on. What I am going to do is I
am going to follow that person home wherever they're going.
I'm gonna follow them home, and I'm gonna argue about it,
and I'm gonna escalate the situation. You've lost the game
(17:01):
within the game. There is an art to it. There
is an art to it. And Dame Myers, this guy
had no name for the Miami Marlins, because everyone on
the Marlins is a no name. So Dame Myers didn't
just hit a home run. He gave birth to an army,
a full on freakin' army of Heckler's and he might
(17:21):
as well just put a neon sign around his neck.
Please heckle me. And those that study the art of heckling,
they said, well, who cares about a guy on the marlins.
And that's true. But if you know someone is thin
skinned and they have that salamander skin, then you will
you will find them. And rather than compartmentalize, you just
(17:43):
go for it. And you can buy some noise canceling headphones,
ear muffs, something along those line lines, and no instead
you end up interacting, you engage. These two people got
removed from their seats.
Speaker 2 (18:01):

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Just a couple of weeks away. It is a Bengal
bonanza of sorts. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air,
amywaere comrades. As we know, radio is the trend that
(18:56):
never dies. It never ever dies, coast to coast, order
and beyond on the vast and spifely powerful microphones of
fsre ammating live from the mouth as we let our
mouth through the talking from the Fox Sports Radio studios
as approved by g Manage in Sweet Home, Chicago, where
(19:19):
the Bears played an exhibition game with the team from
Buffalo and one of the worst exhibition games ever. Hey,
this portion of thetain not for your Bears fan. This
portion of the Bendon Maler Show made possible in part
by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
that's two generations, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
(19:40):
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq
dot com the way tire buying should be. So our
lead this hour is from the gossip mill of the NFL.
(20:01):
So we just had another weekend of practice, not real practice,
NFL games. We got one more weekend of that and
then a pause, and then after that it is on,
it begins. And so some new developments over the weekend
that caught my attention to the status of a disgruntled
(20:21):
defensive star. No, no, not not Micah Parsons. Not Micah Parsons. Instead,
it is about a ben goal. Do you see this? No,
So the Bengals are said to be quote listening to
trade offers for Trey Hendrickson. Yes, that Trey Henderson who
(20:41):
had all those sacks last year on a morbidly bad
Ben Gals defense. The state sponsored NFL network, the prop
the news service of the National Football League, tells us
that with contract talks at impass, the Bengals are finally
finally open for business. On saying bye bye to Trey Hendrickson,
(21:05):
the NFL sack leader last year, the Bengals defensive stalwart.
I'd just said that Cincinnati would not only like not
only like some draft picks, they would also like some
random player defensive player thrown in there as well. So
let us discuss the question, are you surprised? Are you
surprised that Trey Hendrickson finds himself in limbo with the Bengals'
(21:31):
doing the limbo with the Bengals, And here we are,
now the trade conversation getting cranked up? Are you surprised
by this?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I've got Tom Cruise, runny scrambled eggs, and radio shack
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make pancakes with delicious syrup on top,
something that I don't eat very often, but occasionally I
will partake in pancakes and cinnamon rolls and just absolutely wonderful.
(22:02):
So number why, I said number? Why? Number? We are
genuinely surprised that the Cincinnati football team waited this long,
unless we're not. This is standard operating procedure for the
ben Gals. What did you expect to change? Like, what
(22:23):
exactly was going to change here? They're always playing the Bengals.
They're always playing the how low can you go? Game?
How low can you go? And well, apparently, based on
a minutes long deliberation of the events that took place
over the weekend, apparently Trey Hendrickson can't go low enough
(22:45):
for Mike Brown. The coupon clipping front office and ownership
group of the Cincinnati football team, now Mike Brown and
his cronies. It's the family business. So they all act
like they're at the super We've all been grocery shopping,
and you're behind the person at the checkout stand that
(23:07):
has not just a couple of coupons, a giant folder
filled with coupons. You know that person. You ever been
behind that person? Yeah, it makes you question your existence
on the planet. The person they got a giant binder
full of coupons, and they're arguing over thirty five cents
(23:29):
off the canned corn, and they're not going to buy
the cane corn unless they get the thirty five discount.
But it's a manufacturer's discount, does not apply. The statue
has run out on that. But they they're fighting, they're
sparring back and forth, and so meanwhile you're just kind
of sitting there. You're like, I just want to get
my stuff and get out of here, like I don't
(23:51):
need this right And the Bengals are sitting here, they're like, well, listen,
I know we have one of the top pass rushers
in the NFL and all that stuff, but our defense
blew with this guy last year. And so they're treating
him like that doesn't matter, and the Bengals are gonna
suck on defense whether Hendrickson's there or not. And the
law of averages, if you believe in such things, says
(24:12):
they'll actually be a little bit better next season just
because they were so bad underachieved last season. But this
is all part of the franchise charter in Cincinnati when
it comes to the football team. They yeah, they got
Joe Burrow, franchise changing quarterback, and they signed Jamar Chase,
and they signed T Higgins to large contract extensions, and
(24:34):
the real window is open right now for the Bengals
to continue to be a playoff team, although they were
not were not a playoff team last year. But instead
of doubling down, down, down, down down, doubling down, they're
in the corner right now and they're counting my old nemesis,
the penny. They're counting pennies in the corner like Grandpa Simpson.
(24:54):
One penny, two, penny, three, penny, four, penny five, And
it's kind of like this the trade offers. They're like, Okay, well,
why weren't you doing that a couple months ago? What
are you doing? You could have done that in the
NFL draft, you could have made a move that would
have gotten you something that you could have put on
the field this season. And this is the raining sack
(25:15):
leader in the NFL. You're talking about. It's kind of
like having Tom Cruise back in his prime and Tom
Cruise is the headliner on the movie set, and you're like, Eh, yeah,
we don't really need Tom Cruise. Why don't we trade
Tom Cruise and we'll get like Pauli Shore. We'll put
(25:37):
Paulie Shore out there back. You know, if you're a
fan of old movies, you know, not a great trade,
not a great transaction there, But you do it now.
Page two. So where where, oh, where, oh? Where is
Trey Hendrickson likely to land if Cincinnati does pull the
trigger and hit the nuclear option and trade Trey Lance.
(26:00):
So where does he end up if this actually becomes
a thing. So the one that makes all the sense
in the world is the MotorCity kiddies, the Lions. That
makes all the sense in the world. There Dan Campbell's
neat cap biting fantasy, and the Lions are in it
to win it right now. This is the golden era
Lion football, and they took a step back last year,
(26:24):
and who cares about draft picks. F them picks you
go for. You get a proven commodity defensive edge rusher
and Trey Hendrickson, that's the move. Then you said, what
about the Eagles. Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions
of the NFL. Howie Roseman, who has his toes tickled
by Eagle apologist and media fanboys. They love how He Roseman,
(26:48):
so he would trade Howie Roseman would trade his grandma's
crockpot to improve the Eagles defensively to get them, and
they were great last year. That's championship level defense. You
got to keep improving. You got to keep getting better
and better and better. And then you look around the
other teams in the NFC, said the Rams, that's the
kind of move the Rams would make. This is now
(27:08):
a defensive team because Stafford's got his issues there. So
if you're the Rams, you want to fatten up the defense,
you gotta pay though Trey Hendrickson. And then if the
Green Bay Packers were not a community own team, you'd
say the Green Bay Packers would make a lot of
sense for Trey Hendrickson. And then he said, well, what
about what about the AFC. If the Ben Gals are
willing to trade Trey Hendrickson to any team anywhere at
(27:32):
any time, and that includes the AFC, then that's Andy
Reid knocking on the door right there, Big Red Andy Reid,
come on down, wearing his Hawaiian shirt, Andy Reid, and
he's got a cheeseburger. He's nibbling on a cheeseburger there,
and he's thinking abow draft picks. As everyone knows in
the NFL, the real ones know. And I did a
rant about this on the Fifth Hour podcast, which was approved,
(27:54):
by the way, by Robbie the Mariner fan. He approved
the logic he is starting to see the light, which
tells me Robbie is becoming an older per because he
sees light. But draft picks are the Bingo cards of football,
right They're most are worthless. You play Bengo. I played
Bengo every once in a while. Why most of those
Bengo cards are completely worthless. Give me a guy who
(28:16):
actually gets to the quarterback, a proven commodity, a known commodity.
And that's what I was in Kansasity, just like Philadelphia
and Detroit. This is the golden era for the chiefs.
You got to go for it, and who cares about
draft picks and bingo cards. It's the same concept. Scratch
your tickets. It's the analogy works. It's the perfect analogy
(28:38):
for draft picks. You sit there, you have twenty of them,
and you're all excited. You got twenty bingo cards. And
half the time you end up with guys who are
hanging out at a round table, not a roundtable restaurant.
There at a round table with Flow from Progressive. They've
got the Geico Get Go on another part of the roundtable.
(28:58):
They've got Jake from State Farm and they're all eating
runny just absolutely disgusting runny scrambled eggs and soggy bacon
at an insurance conference at an airport holiday inn in Omaha.
And they're talking about insurance. But that player was just
drafted to be an impact player in the NFL. That
(29:19):
Bengal card did not work out. Now they're hanging out
with Flow and the Get Go Geico, the Geico gek Goo.
That's what they're doing anyway. Now. Meanwhile, so you have
you have Trey Hendrickson, who is gonna have some saying
this because whoever's trading for him, is gonna want to
have him happy and sign him to an extension. So
it takes two to tango. He is a proven commodity Hendrickson,
(29:43):
and it's like knowing you're gonna get a little something
like there's a little bit of money there now how
much he has left in the tank. That's open for
conversation and open for debate. But based on what we
have seen the Bengals, the Bengals, they will they will
not get it to I'm still not convinced. Even though
(30:03):
the reports came out over the weekend, it's all posters said,
well an how we're open for business to trade Trey Hendrickson.
They'll drag this out right up until the start of
the NFL regular season. They'll drag this out because they overvalue.
They overvalue things like Bengo cards and all that stuff.
And Hendrickson, listen, he is going to end up somewhere
(30:26):
else eventually and most likely terrorizing Joe Burrow and the
Bengals offense at some point down the line. Unless the
qualifications here for Cincinnati is you can only trade Trey
Hendrickson to an NFC team that does not play the
Bengals and the only way Hendrickson would come back to
(30:47):
haunt them as a poltergeist would be in a Super
Bowl situation. Right, But the Bengals, clearly the front office there,
the ownership, fans of the dancing clown penny Wise, they
were because it's the Bengal way. I'm telling you, it
is the Bengal way here as they are penny Wise,
(31:09):
pound foolish, that is what the Cincinnati Bengals stand for.
It's like Stephen King approves this message and all this
because Mike Brown wants to save a little bit of
money on gas and save a couple of shekels on
some guests. All right, now, final point to Denver we go.
One of the great embarrassing moments that I have seen
(31:29):
in recent television, and I've seen some, I've been part
of some embarrassing moments on television. But the Broncos had
a preseason game over the weekend. Everyone played, and they
had a preseason broadcast over the weekend, which is one
for the ages, one for the ages for the Broncos,
bless their hearts, So they got catfished. The Denver Broncos
(31:50):
preseason broadcast got catfished by a fake Micah Parsons quote
a quote in which Michael Parsons talked about wanted to
play for the Denver Broncos. So how does this happen?
How does this happen where a broadcast, a team run broadcast,
(32:11):
completely gets horn swaggled by a bogus quote. So this
wasn't just a little slip up. It was not. This
was like walking onto the used car lot and buying
a lemon and it says on the car lemon right there,
it says it's a lemon. But then you're bragging to
(32:32):
your buddies. I didn't buy a lemon. I know it
looks like a lemon, and it says lemon on it,
but it's actually a BMW. No you. It says lemon,
you bought a lemon. That's a bad job by you.
Shame on you. So they actually put a graphics package
together to show the quote that was not an actual
quote from Micah Parsons. They put the fake words into
(32:54):
a fancy font on the television broadcast and then broke down.
They had the announcers, who we're also in on the gag.
Apparently they didn't realize it was fake. They went with it.
The quote was absurd From the very beginning, he said,
the fake Micah Parsons quote was my dream destination, Denver,
my dream destination. They already got the best defense in
(33:16):
the league. The fake Micah Parsons quote said, And of course,
that's like saying your dream destination is Salt Lake City
because you love the airport in Salt Lake they have
really good vending machines. The top pretzels in all of
Utah are at the Salt Lake City Airport vending machine.
Those hard pretzels are to die for. They're so good.
(33:39):
But the other thing about this, which is great, any
bit of fact checking, you would have caught this right away. Michaeh.
Parsons podcast has not been released since January. It is
now August. So you got February, you got March, April, May, June, July,
and now August and nothing bupkiss. And yet they went
(34:03):
with it as a recent quote the Bronco broadcast, which
is just a chef's kiss. It is so good. It
is so good. You know what that's like. Let me say,
that's like saying, hey, you gotta hear this new tune,
This new song from the Beatles is amazing. Oh my God,
it is so friacking good. Yeah. I know most of
(34:25):
them are dead and they broke up fifty years ago,
but this new tune from the Beatles is so good.
It's great. Almost like finding a radio shack, a brick
and mortar radio shack and buying a Tandy computer, Like
what are you doing? Tandy is Dandy from back in
the day. This quote, there's a better chance of finding
(34:46):
a Tandy computer than the Micah Parsons quote being legit
for a myriad of reasons, for a myriad of reasons.
So the Bronco broadcast went full Picasso on this with
the fake quote from Micah Parsons. They painted it up
as like an oil painting, and it was such a
beautiful thing. I watched the clip. I didn't see it live.
I was away this weekend, but I watched the clip
(35:08):
online and it should have been hung from the louver
right next to the Mona Lisa the next room over.
That you could not only go with a fake quote,
That's one thing. We've all been punked by fake quotes
in the age we are in now. But to put
a graphics package up and to really lean into it,
do the old fentanyl lean into it right the fentanyl fade.
(35:28):
What are you doing? Wowser's they got sent out. They
got sportstock buried is what they got, literally buried, butt
cracked sports, all those satire sites right there in real time,
right there, in real time. And it was actually by
a Bronco fan. This is supposedly a Bronco fan account
sent this out as a bogus quote, and much to
(35:50):
their amazement, it ended up being picked up by the
Bronco broadcast and so it was Dino Might. It was
dying Oh Might. It was so good. That's like the
people that fall for the Nigerian Prince email scam. Just
give us your bank account information. We will end up
sending you all of our money. Yeah okay, no, you're
(36:12):
gonna end up sending your money to them and money
Man of money. You'll be wiring the money. That's how
it's gonna work. But very embarrassing. So anyway, I enjoyed that.
I thought that was great. Good job by the Bronco
TV people who have no concept of what is real
and what is not, And a simple search would have
determined that that was a bogus quote. There you go,
(36:33):
the Broncos trying to be relevant. They showed some signs
of life last year. They really haven't been very good
since Peyton Manning and his rotting carcass. They pushed him
across the finish line years ago, so I guess they
need some fact checkers.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's Maller.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
How about that to the third degree? Yeah, this is
one I think Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Grilled Google Loo.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
And there have been some conflicting predictions involving Bo Nicks.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yes, that's your guy, Coop, that's your hero, that's true,
your savior. Yes, I'm a believer your quarterback and savior. Now.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
So we've got some executives that say that he's going
to surpass Jayde and Daniels next season, and then we
have another executive that said the Broncos are going to
bench him by twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
What's that? Are you on? Ben? All Right? So he's
not gonna pass Jayden Daniels because he's not that type
of quarterback. Bow Knicks is a guy that if the
defense is good, special teams are good, He's not gonna
f things up. But he's not gonna be the reason
that you win games. I don't see him as that
kind of guy. And Jade Daniels is that kind of guy.
Was that guy for Washington making plays late? So I
(37:44):
say between those two it's closer to the whole. Someone
else will be playing in twenty twenty seven, but I
think it'll just be an average NFL starting quarterback Bo Knicks,
and that's fine, slightly above average.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Next, the Milwaukee Brewers have their franchise best fourteen game
win streak snap on sen there's still seven and a
half games ahead of every other team in the National League.
Do you think the brew Crew or World Series bound?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
No? I don't think there were the World Series bound.
Its Ultimately, the talent in the playoffs will go the
other way. Would I mind if the Brewers in the
World Series. No, I wouldn't mind if the Brewers making
the World Series. I actually like the way the Milwaukee
Brewers play and approach things. And if the miz comes
back from this injury situation and can pitch enough innings
and in the playoffs and all that, why not. But no,
(38:29):
if you were giving me one thousand dollars of funny money,
would I bet on the Milwaukee Brewers to go to
the World Series. No, I would not. It's a great story.
I like the fact that they're from the small market
and they've won, they've had success and all that, but
I would not be betting on them next.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Kellen Moore told the media this weekend, we'll see when
asked if the Saints will name their starting quarterback this week, Oh,
we'll see, Ben.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Who do you think it's gonna be? All right? So
I've done the math on this coup. It's impossible for
Kellen Moore to name a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback.
They all blow the same, They all suck. There's not
one good quarterback there. Spencer rather terrible, Tyler Shuck horrific,
and Jake and they got a trade for a quarter
trade for Jamis Winston. How'd we do you fail this edition?
(39:13):
To win? Bo Nicks? Stop propaganda?

This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Waking up from the Hybernation situation. Welcome in the beginning
of another week of the Benmahlor Show. We are in
the air everywhere companions late at night.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
As we know, radio is the cockroad, especially nighttime radio,
cockroad to the media. It survives everything, literally everything coast
to coast, border to border and beyond. On the vast
and sharply powerful microphones of fs are am mundating live.
Do it live from the craft as we handcraft. The
(01:16):
quality of the sports takes here from the Fox Sports
Radio studios as approved by the Snooker. I don't know
who that is, but he says he'll be at the
Mallard Meet and Greet in Vegas less than a week
away from that. He lives in Vegas, so it's convenient
for him, but we'll be hanging out there. And this
portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in part
(01:36):
by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
ti iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com the way
tire buying should be. So I leave this hour is
(01:57):
from Los Angeles, and that is where the showdown, which
looked like a mismatch coming into the weekend, the NL
West Showdown, the pod Squad in the cat bird seat
leading the nationallygue West at the start of the weekend,
taking on the Dodgers who had been floundering, seemingly not
giving a rats ass about competing in Major League Baseball
(02:19):
since the start of July, the big bad Dodgers who
were just bad, bad to the bone, and taking on
the pottery. So they've matched up this weekend. I assume
you know what happened by now, but maybe not. Perhaps
you were not paying attention. Bad job by you. So
Mookie bets, Mookie bets who'd been stealing money for four
months from the Dodgers, hit a tie breaking solo home run,
(02:41):
and the Dodgers, who blew a four run lead on Sunday,
but that eighth inning home run enough and the Dodgers
end up beating the Potteries five to four, and they
now sweep that series. They have a two game lead.
Just like that, go from down one to up to
in the division. Freddie Freeman started the offense earlier. The
(03:05):
Dodgers jumped all over you darbish at the beginning of
the game. Freddy Freeman eatee a two strike, three run dinger,
and then Andy Piez also hit home run for the
Dodgers early on, but they blew that lead. Tyler Glass,
now unable to complete the mission and just nurse the lead,
not able to not get that done, so the Dodgers
opened the series again trailing by game. They end up
(03:28):
sweeping the Podres and outscored them by eight runs over
the weekend, so they get the victory and are in
first place. The Dodgers out hitting the Podres the Potters
who had the Potters actually had more hits. I should
say than that, I don't said that right. The Dodgers
had more hits than the the The Potters had more
(03:50):
hits than the Dodgers. The problem, if the man could
speak that way up. The problem for San Diego was
they could not get hits with runners in scoring position.
They had twenty opportunities over the week and three for twenty.
That's say, one fifty batting average for the team from
Sandygo nineteen runners in scoring position over the weekend. So
I we'll talk about this and the storyline going into it,
(04:13):
and what the storyline is coming out of it here
and immediately, of course my inbox filled up with messages
varying degrees of rage. I tried to tell you, Mallard,
tried to tell you. You didn't listen. You're just being
a shock jock. That's why you're doing overnights because you
ripped the Dodgers. They didn't deserve to be ripped. The
(04:34):
bad job by you, right, it's all the puffing the
chest out because the Dodgers swept the pod race. Ce Ben,
I told you the Dodgers are fine. Dave Roberts is
a great manager, and they're okay, And you don't know
what you're talking about. Yeah, okay, you just overreacted. Blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. It was that. I'm
(04:55):
paraphrasing some of that, but it was the gist of
the conversation. So let us discuss the question. Does the
weekends sweep by the Dodgers prove that Dave Roberts and
the boys are fine? Everything's great here? They swept the
Padres and they're on track? Does it prove all that?
(05:15):
So that is the question. I've got bay Watch, chicken legs,
and Neon sign and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna put the biscuit in
the basket. All right, We're gonna put the biscuit in
the basket. So to answer the question, does the weekend
sweep of the Padres by the Dodgers prove that Dave
(05:36):
robertson company, they're on track, everything is good to go,
and that all this outrage, all this anger was misguided.
And I'm shaking my head. No, absolutely not. Are you
kidding me? Are you dumb? I mean, if anything, if
you take a couple of steps back and look at
(05:56):
the landscape and look at what happened, if anything, this
proves the exact opposite that the hypothesis was spot on.
That what I saw was proof that the way the
Dodgers had performed the last two much they were mailing
it in. They were mailing it. That's an indictment on
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers. I think mailed in like
(06:17):
it was an America Online back in the nineties. Baby,
slow and clunky, and that's it might as well charged
by the hour's ridiculous dial up internet. That's the way
they were playing for the last two months. And so
this weekend shows you you watch the way they played,
shows you that they have been floating along, floating along
(06:41):
some kind of an episode of Baywatch back in the day,
and they're waiting for Pamela Anderson to come out there
and blow the whistle and drag them out of the surf.
And in this case, they woke up and beat up
the Podres. And now they played the Rockies, which are
a minor league team, and then they played the Padres again.
So we'll see how things go u this week. But
they've clearly been coasting. There's other injuries. Oh yeah, okay,
(07:05):
the deepest team of all time, Yeah, they've had injuries. Backups,
are playing and spoiler alert, they're not playing well. Uh,
And so I stand by I stand by tough love
Malard monologues I do when it comes to the Dodgers. Uh,
they've been on the inner tube, floating on the lazy river,
having a cocktail on the lazy river for the last
(07:26):
couple of months, just drifting along la la la la
la la la la la la la la la sandbagging,
if you will, in the month of July and the
month of August, which is unbecoming. It is unbecoming is
the word I will use here. And you pick up
bad habits, bad habits which are not easy to break.
(07:48):
They're not now Page two. Can the Doyers just turn
it on in October? Imagine they'll go back and lose
a game or two against the Rockies, and and they'll
go back to their losing before the end of the
regular season. So I asked the question, Can the Dodgers
just turn it on in October and like they're flipping
(08:09):
some kind of light switch and that's it? So can they?
Sure they can? But generally speak, generally speaking, it doesn't happen.
Maybe one out of a thousand, one out of five
thousand it doesn't happen all that often. It's just that
Dodger Hubris, which I don't like. I do not like that,
and they don't care what I think. But the Dodgers
(08:31):
the way they've been approaching this season, they got off
to a good start and then they played bad for
about a month and then they played okay, and then
they've been backing the Doldrums and all that stuff. But
it's it's kind of like showing up to run a marathon.
Can see the ball, You're gonna run the Boston Marathon,
and you're like, I am not going to train to
(08:53):
run the Boston Marathon. I don't need to train, and
I'll just jog around the block a couple of times
and I'll carbload and then I'm going to run the marathon.
And that'll work out for a while. Then eventually, at
some point you're gonna hit heartbreakhell, and your heart will break,
you'll die, that'll be that. But you'll be puking on
(09:15):
the sidewalk somewhere, and that's what's going to be happening.
And so that's the way it goes. The Dinners have
so much more talent. Everyone says that, oh there's so
much more talented than anyone else in the National League.
And yet you compare and contrast the way they approach
the games to the Milwaukee Brewers, who did lose on Sunday.
But man, what a juxtaposition between the brew crew and
(09:37):
the Dodgers there and again they got a bunch of
guys that are floaters on that team. And you don't
want the floaters, right, they just coasting along and Dave
Roberts out there acting like the lifeguard on break, if
you will, and sitting in his chair twirling, you know,
the whistle. There all will be fun, Everything's all right,
everything'll be okay, Yeah, okay, we'll swim when it matt,
(10:00):
we will swim when it matters. They're like, okay, don't
tell me about the regular seasons, doesn't matter. Blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
But the Dodgers in any ways, like the kid who
gets straight a's on the homework and then cannot complete
the final you know, you all know that person. Of course,
it's changed now with chat ept now it's changed a lot.
(10:23):
But it's it's like they've in no way to look
at it like they've been skipping leg day because they
don't want to do the leg day there and their
upper body is big and beefy and they have a
big roster they can flex and all that stuff. And
then when you need your legs in crunch time, you
got that chicken leg thing. You got that chicken leg
and chicken legs never a good thing, never a good
(10:45):
thing in that situation. So you just can't support the
weight and you come crumbling down, down, down, down under
under pressure. So I don't want to hear. Well, they
proved it. They proved it. You were wrong. No again,
dods proved I was right that they had this in
them and they didn't approach it the right way. And
(11:05):
they approach it the right way this weekend and they
beat up the Podreys and congratulations, and they didn't prove
they're fine because they're capable of coasting along yet again
and losing to inferior opponents. What it proved is that
Dave Roberts has done a bad job. The team is
too comfortable. There's no edge to this team. They're too
(11:26):
casual and they're too content. That again I go back
to the word arrogance that they are so sure of
themselves that the regular season they just being cruise control.
And that's it. That is not championship behavior. It is not.
That is not the way that you have success in October.
(11:49):
It's not. That is puke in your mouth baseball. It's
sandbagging nonsense. All right, I'm gonna turn the page on that.
We're gonna go now. Last where we go to Boston.
We had a fan player brew haha. That took place
on a lazy Sunday afternoon at Fenway, that is where
(12:11):
the Marlins right fielders, someone named Dane Myers. I have
no idea who it is, but Dane Myers apparently he's
an outfielder for the Marlins, which is like barely a
major league team. It's like a minor league slash major
league team. So Dane Myers hit a tying home run
in the ninth inning and Miami rallied passed the sacks
(12:31):
to get the win. Myers got into it though, with
a couple of fans that were heckling out, heckling him
out in the bleachers in right field, and then that began.
In the eighth inning, the Red Sox led three to two.
At that point, we were told that continued in the
ninth he Homer then Jacob Marcy, the guy that lit
up the Cleveland Former Indians last week. Marcy followed he
(12:54):
had a two out or two run shot that put
the Marlins ahead in that game. So Miami end up
winning the game. But the story here is the interaction
between the player in this case, Dane Myers, and the
Red Sox fan and fans in this case because the
Gestapo there, the police of Finway kicking multiple fans out
(13:17):
of their seeds, out of their seats because of words. Now,
Myers would not get into specifics. He did not say
exactly what was said, although he engaged the fans, he
got into it with the fans. He said. The only
thing he said was that the fans were drinking too much.
I'm paraphrasing some of this, but they were. They had
too many beers, and that he said he needs to
(13:40):
handle this more like a pro and just be a
little bit better, which sounds like something that came from
the Marlins PR department. That he was just parroting what
the PR people told him to say. So, how does
the Marlins outfielder Dane Myers having a multiple multiple Red
Sox fans were moved, heckling Red sock fans. How does
(14:01):
that sit with you? All right? So on this one,
it sits rotten. Rotten is what it says. Because here's
the thing you can't be. And this is the way
I approached. And we've had a lot of these instances
that have taken place, all right, these fan player situations
that pop up. But you can't be the big, strong
chisel professional athlete living the dream, right and then get
(14:25):
rattled by a middle aged dude or dudes in cargo
shorts who are multiple Sam Adams past the wind, you know,
beer belly yelling at you you stink or worse from
ten feet away because you're the one. The minimum salary
(14:47):
in baseball is an absurd amount of money. You're laughing
all the way to the bank here. You are financially
in great shape here, and you sit there and you
close out your mind. You don't worry about what is
being said, and you think about all that money you're making. Well,
these people are paying money to watch you play, right,
It's like these interactions these and I don't know this
(15:10):
and this is a soft generation. I got it. I understand,
they're all soft We got you, I understand. But still
at some point don't these guys have to realize, like,
what are we doing here? Like it's like Superman calling
the cops because oh my god, Lex Luthor gave me
a dirty look. I'm calling the cops. We know you're Superman.
What are you doing? You're not supposed to do that.
(15:30):
It's a bad job by you. And again it goes
back to what we have to start this at a
young age. Dixon stones may bake my bones, but names
will never hurt me, and just go with that nursery rhyme.
And that's it, that old dusty nursery rhyme which has
passed the test of time, generation, generation, et cetera. Instead, instead,
(15:50):
what you have done, and this happens universally when when
you end up having fans remove from their seats because
of heckling, what you have done is hand it out
the troll playbook. You've given every drunk, everyone who aspires
to be a troll. You have given them the green light,
and you say, Okay, this guy can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Mister softy, it's a mister softy.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And then boom, you can get in this guy's head
right in that. And it's like you're you're in traffic
and and somebody cuts you off, and instead of just
honking your horn or what I do is I give
these subtle under the dashboard bird. They can't see it.
The other car can't see that. I'm giving them the
number one sign. They can't see them, but I'm giving
(16:38):
them the universal sign under the dashboard, and I hank
my horn and that's it. Where I'm done with it.
But none of this is like, hey, I'm not gonna
move on. What I am going to do is I
am going to follow that person home wherever they're going.
I'm gonna follow them home, and I'm gonna argue about it,
and I'm gonna escalate the situation. You've lost the game
(17:01):
within the game. There is an art to it. There
is an art to it. And Dame Myers, this guy
had no name for the Miami Marlins, because everyone on
the Marlins is a no name. So Dame Myers didn't
just hit a home run. He gave birth to an army,
a full on freakin' army of Heckler's and he might
(17:21):
as well just put a neon sign around his neck.
Please heckle me. And those that study the art of heckling,
they said, well, who cares about a guy on the marlins.
And that's true. But if you know someone is thin
skinned and they have that salamander skin, then you will
you will find them. And rather than compartmentalize, you just
(17:43):
go for it. And you can buy some noise canceling headphones,
ear muffs, something along those line lines, and no instead
you end up interacting, you engage. These two people got
removed from their seats.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Just a couple of weeks away. It is a Bengal
bonanza of sorts. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air,
amywaere comrades. As we know, radio is the trend that
(18:56):
never dies. It never ever dies, coast to coast, order
and beyond on the vast and spifely powerful microphones of
fsre ammating live from the mouth as we let our
mouth through the talking from the Fox Sports Radio studios
as approved by g Manage in Sweet Home, Chicago, where
(19:19):
the Bears played an exhibition game with the team from
Buffalo and one of the worst exhibition games ever. Hey,
this portion of thetain not for your Bears fan. This
portion of the Bendon Maler Show made possible in part
by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
that's two generations, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
(19:40):
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq
dot com the way tire buying should be. So our
lead this hour is from the gossip mill of the NFL.
(20:01):
So we just had another weekend of practice, not real practice,
NFL games. We got one more weekend of that and
then a pause, and then after that it is on,
it begins. And so some new developments over the weekend
that caught my attention to the status of a disgruntled
(20:21):
defensive star. No, no, not not Micah Parsons. Not Micah Parsons. Instead,
it is about a ben goal. Do you see this? No,
So the Bengals are said to be quote listening to
trade offers for Trey Hendrickson. Yes, that Trey Henderson who
(20:41):
had all those sacks last year on a morbidly bad
Ben Gals defense. The state sponsored NFL network, the prop
the news service of the National Football League, tells us
that with contract talks at impass, the Bengals are finally
finally open for business. On saying bye bye to Trey Hendrickson,
(21:05):
the NFL sack leader last year, the Bengals defensive stalwart.
I'd just said that Cincinnati would not only like not
only like some draft picks, they would also like some
random player defensive player thrown in there as well. So
let us discuss the question, are you surprised? Are you
surprised that Trey Hendrickson finds himself in limbo with the Bengals'
(21:31):
doing the limbo with the Bengals, And here we are,
now the trade conversation getting cranked up? Are you surprised
by this?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I've got Tom Cruise, runny scrambled eggs, and radio shack
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make pancakes with delicious syrup on top,
something that I don't eat very often, but occasionally I
will partake in pancakes and cinnamon rolls and just absolutely wonderful.
(22:02):
So number why, I said number? Why? Number? We are
genuinely surprised that the Cincinnati football team waited this long,
unless we're not. This is standard operating procedure for the
ben Gals. What did you expect to change? Like, what
(22:23):
exactly was going to change here? They're always playing the Bengals.
They're always playing the how low can you go? Game?
How low can you go? And well, apparently, based on
a minutes long deliberation of the events that took place
over the weekend, apparently Trey Hendrickson can't go low enough
(22:45):
for Mike Brown. The coupon clipping front office and ownership
group of the Cincinnati football team, now Mike Brown and
his cronies. It's the family business. So they all act
like they're at the super We've all been grocery shopping,
and you're behind the person at the checkout stand that
(23:07):
has not just a couple of coupons, a giant folder
filled with coupons. You know that person. You ever been
behind that person? Yeah, it makes you question your existence
on the planet. The person they got a giant binder
full of coupons, and they're arguing over thirty five cents
(23:29):
off the canned corn, and they're not going to buy
the cane corn unless they get the thirty five discount.
But it's a manufacturer's discount, does not apply. The statue
has run out on that. But they they're fighting, they're
sparring back and forth, and so meanwhile you're just kind
of sitting there. You're like, I just want to get
my stuff and get out of here, like I don't
(23:51):
need this right And the Bengals are sitting here, they're like, well, listen,
I know we have one of the top pass rushers
in the NFL and all that stuff, but our defense
blew with this guy last year. And so they're treating
him like that doesn't matter, and the Bengals are gonna
suck on defense whether Hendrickson's there or not. And the
law of averages, if you believe in such things, says
(24:12):
they'll actually be a little bit better next season just
because they were so bad underachieved last season. But this
is all part of the franchise charter in Cincinnati when
it comes to the football team. They yeah, they got
Joe Burrow, franchise changing quarterback, and they signed Jamar Chase,
and they signed T Higgins to large contract extensions, and
(24:34):
the real window is open right now for the Bengals
to continue to be a playoff team, although they were
not were not a playoff team last year. But instead
of doubling down, down, down, down down, doubling down, they're
in the corner right now and they're counting my old nemesis,
the penny. They're counting pennies in the corner like Grandpa Simpson.
(24:54):
One penny, two, penny, three, penny, four, penny five, And
it's kind of like this the trade offers. They're like, Okay, well,
why weren't you doing that a couple months ago? What
are you doing? You could have done that in the
NFL draft, you could have made a move that would
have gotten you something that you could have put on
the field this season. And this is the raining sack
(25:15):
leader in the NFL. You're talking about. It's kind of
like having Tom Cruise back in his prime and Tom
Cruise is the headliner on the movie set, and you're like, Eh, yeah,
we don't really need Tom Cruise. Why don't we trade
Tom Cruise and we'll get like Pauli Shore. We'll put
(25:37):
Paulie Shore out there back. You know, if you're a
fan of old movies, you know, not a great trade,
not a great transaction there, But you do it now.
Page two. So where where, oh, where, oh? Where is
Trey Hendrickson likely to land if Cincinnati does pull the
trigger and hit the nuclear option and trade Trey Lance.
(26:00):
So where does he end up if this actually becomes
a thing. So the one that makes all the sense
in the world is the MotorCity kiddies, the Lions. That
makes all the sense in the world. There Dan Campbell's
neat cap biting fantasy, and the Lions are in it
to win it right now. This is the golden era
Lion football, and they took a step back last year,
(26:24):
and who cares about draft picks. F them picks you
go for. You get a proven commodity defensive edge rusher
and Trey Hendrickson, that's the move. Then you said, what
about the Eagles. Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions
of the NFL. Howie Roseman, who has his toes tickled
by Eagle apologist and media fanboys. They love how He Roseman,
(26:48):
so he would trade Howie Roseman would trade his grandma's
crockpot to improve the Eagles defensively to get them, and
they were great last year. That's championship level defense. You
got to keep improving. You got to keep getting better
and better and better. And then you look around the
other teams in the NFC, said the Rams, that's the
kind of move the Rams would make. This is now
(27:08):
a defensive team because Stafford's got his issues there. So
if you're the Rams, you want to fatten up the defense,
you gotta pay though Trey Hendrickson. And then if the
Green Bay Packers were not a community own team, you'd
say the Green Bay Packers would make a lot of
sense for Trey Hendrickson. And then he said, well, what
about what about the AFC. If the Ben Gals are
willing to trade Trey Hendrickson to any team anywhere at
(27:32):
any time, and that includes the AFC, then that's Andy
Reid knocking on the door right there, Big Red Andy Reid,
come on down, wearing his Hawaiian shirt, Andy Reid, and
he's got a cheeseburger. He's nibbling on a cheeseburger there,
and he's thinking abow draft picks. As everyone knows in
the NFL, the real ones know. And I did a
rant about this on the Fifth Hour podcast, which was approved,
(27:54):
by the way, by Robbie the Mariner fan. He approved
the logic he is starting to see the light, which
tells me Robbie is becoming an older per because he
sees light. But draft picks are the Bingo cards of football,
right They're most are worthless. You play Bengo. I played
Bengo every once in a while. Why most of those
Bengo cards are completely worthless. Give me a guy who
(28:16):
actually gets to the quarterback, a proven commodity, a known commodity.
And that's what I was in Kansasity, just like Philadelphia
and Detroit. This is the golden era for the chiefs.
You got to go for it, and who cares about
draft picks and bingo cards. It's the same concept. Scratch
your tickets. It's the analogy works. It's the perfect analogy
(28:38):
for draft picks. You sit there, you have twenty of them,
and you're all excited. You got twenty bingo cards. And
half the time you end up with guys who are
hanging out at a round table, not a roundtable restaurant.
There at a round table with Flow from Progressive. They've
got the Geico Get Go on another part of the roundtable.
(28:58):
They've got Jake from State Farm and they're all eating
runny just absolutely disgusting runny scrambled eggs and soggy bacon
at an insurance conference at an airport holiday inn in Omaha.
And they're talking about insurance. But that player was just
drafted to be an impact player in the NFL. That
(29:19):
Bengal card did not work out. Now they're hanging out
with Flow and the Get Go Geico, the Geico gek Goo.
That's what they're doing anyway. Now. Meanwhile, so you have
you have Trey Hendrickson, who is gonna have some saying
this because whoever's trading for him, is gonna want to
have him happy and sign him to an extension. So
it takes two to tango. He is a proven commodity Hendrickson,
(29:43):
and it's like knowing you're gonna get a little something
like there's a little bit of money there now how
much he has left in the tank. That's open for
conversation and open for debate. But based on what we
have seen the Bengals, the Bengals, they will they will
not get it to I'm still not convinced. Even though
(30:03):
the reports came out over the weekend, it's all posters said,
well an how we're open for business to trade Trey Hendrickson.
They'll drag this out right up until the start of
the NFL regular season. They'll drag this out because they overvalue.
They overvalue things like Bengo cards and all that stuff.
And Hendrickson, listen, he is going to end up somewhere
(30:26):
else eventually and most likely terrorizing Joe Burrow and the
Bengals offense at some point down the line. Unless the
qualifications here for Cincinnati is you can only trade Trey
Hendrickson to an NFC team that does not play the
Bengals and the only way Hendrickson would come back to
(30:47):
haunt them as a poltergeist would be in a Super
Bowl situation. Right, But the Bengals, clearly the front office there,
the ownership, fans of the dancing clown penny Wise, they
were because it's the Bengal way. I'm telling you, it
is the Bengal way here as they are penny Wise,
(31:09):
pound foolish, that is what the Cincinnati Bengals stand for.
It's like Stephen King approves this message and all this
because Mike Brown wants to save a little bit of
money on gas and save a couple of shekels on
some guests. All right, now, final point to Denver we go.
One of the great embarrassing moments that I have seen
(31:29):
in recent television, and I've seen some, I've been part
of some embarrassing moments on television. But the Broncos had
a preseason game over the weekend. Everyone played, and they
had a preseason broadcast over the weekend, which is one
for the ages, one for the ages for the Broncos,
bless their hearts, So they got catfished. The Denver Broncos
(31:50):
preseason broadcast got catfished by a fake Micah Parsons quote
a quote in which Michael Parsons talked about wanted to
play for the Denver Broncos. So how does this happen?
How does this happen where a broadcast, a team run broadcast,
(32:11):
completely gets horn swaggled by a bogus quote. So this
wasn't just a little slip up. It was not. This
was like walking onto the used car lot and buying
a lemon and it says on the car lemon right there,
it says it's a lemon. But then you're bragging to
(32:32):
your buddies. I didn't buy a lemon. I know it
looks like a lemon, and it says lemon on it,
but it's actually a BMW. No you. It says lemon,
you bought a lemon. That's a bad job by you.
Shame on you. So they actually put a graphics package
together to show the quote that was not an actual
quote from Micah Parsons. They put the fake words into
(32:54):
a fancy font on the television broadcast and then broke down.
They had the announcers, who we're also in on the gag.
Apparently they didn't realize it was fake. They went with it.
The quote was absurd From the very beginning, he said,
the fake Micah Parsons quote was my dream destination, Denver,
my dream destination. They already got the best defense in
(33:16):
the league. The fake Micah Parsons quote said, And of course,
that's like saying your dream destination is Salt Lake City
because you love the airport in Salt Lake they have
really good vending machines. The top pretzels in all of
Utah are at the Salt Lake City Airport vending machine.
Those hard pretzels are to die for. They're so good.
(33:39):
But the other thing about this, which is great, any
bit of fact checking, you would have caught this right away. Michaeh.
Parsons podcast has not been released since January. It is
now August. So you got February, you got March, April, May, June, July,
and now August and nothing bupkiss. And yet they went
(34:03):
with it as a recent quote the Bronco broadcast, which
is just a chef's kiss. It is so good. It
is so good. You know what that's like. Let me say,
that's like saying, hey, you gotta hear this new tune,
This new song from the Beatles is amazing. Oh my God,
it is so friacking good. Yeah. I know most of
(34:25):
them are dead and they broke up fifty years ago,
but this new tune from the Beatles is so good.
It's great. Almost like finding a radio shack, a brick
and mortar radio shack and buying a Tandy computer, Like
what are you doing? Tandy is Dandy from back in
the day. This quote, there's a better chance of finding
(34:46):
a Tandy computer than the Micah Parsons quote being legit
for a myriad of reasons, for a myriad of reasons.
So the Bronco broadcast went full Picasso on this with
the fake quote from Micah Parsons. They painted it up
as like an oil painting, and it was such a
beautiful thing. I watched the clip. I didn't see it live.
I was away this weekend, but I watched the clip
(35:08):
online and it should have been hung from the louver
right next to the Mona Lisa the next room over.
That you could not only go with a fake quote,
That's one thing. We've all been punked by fake quotes
in the age we are in now. But to put
a graphics package up and to really lean into it,
do the old fentanyl lean into it right the fentanyl fade.
(35:28):
What are you doing? Wowser's they got sent out. They
got sportstock buried is what they got, literally buried, butt
cracked sports, all those satire sites right there in real time,
right there, in real time. And it was actually by
a Bronco fan. This is supposedly a Bronco fan account
sent this out as a bogus quote, and much to
(35:50):
their amazement, it ended up being picked up by the
Bronco broadcast and so it was Dino Might. It was
dying Oh Might. It was so good. That's like the
people that fall for the Nigerian Prince email scam. Just
give us your bank account information. We will end up
sending you all of our money. Yeah okay, no, you're
(36:12):
gonna end up sending your money to them and money
Man of money. You'll be wiring the money. That's how
it's gonna work. But very embarrassing. So anyway, I enjoyed that.
I thought that was great. Good job by the Bronco
TV people who have no concept of what is real
and what is not, And a simple search would have
determined that that was a bogus quote. There you go,
(36:33):
the Broncos trying to be relevant. They showed some signs
of life last year. They really haven't been very good
since Peyton Manning and his rotting carcass. They pushed him
across the finish line years ago, so I guess they
need some fact checkers.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's Maller.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
How about that to the third degree? Yeah, this is
one I think Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Grilled Google Loo.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
And there have been some conflicting predictions involving Bo Nicks.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yes, that's your guy, Coop, that's your hero, that's true,
your savior. Yes, I'm a believer your quarterback and savior. Now.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
So we've got some executives that say that he's going
to surpass Jayde and Daniels next season, and then we
have another executive that said the Broncos are going to
bench him by twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
What's that? Are you on? Ben? All Right? So he's
not gonna pass Jayden Daniels because he's not that type
of quarterback. Bow Knicks is a guy that if the
defense is good, special teams are good, He's not gonna
f things up. But he's not gonna be the reason
that you win games. I don't see him as that
kind of guy. And Jade Daniels is that kind of guy.
Was that guy for Washington making plays late? So I
(37:44):
say between those two it's closer to the whole. Someone
else will be playing in twenty twenty seven, but I
think it'll just be an average NFL starting quarterback Bo Knicks,
and that's fine, slightly above average.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Next, the Milwaukee Brewers have their franchise best fourteen game
win streak snap on sen there's still seven and a
half games ahead of every other team in the National League.
Do you think the brew Crew or World Series bound?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
No? I don't think there were the World Series bound.
Its Ultimately, the talent in the playoffs will go the
other way. Would I mind if the Brewers in the
World Series. No, I wouldn't mind if the Brewers making
the World Series. I actually like the way the Milwaukee
Brewers play and approach things. And if the miz comes
back from this injury situation and can pitch enough innings
and in the playoffs and all that, why not. But no,
(38:29):
if you were giving me one thousand dollars of funny money,
would I bet on the Milwaukee Brewers to go to
the World Series. No, I would not. It's a great story.
I like the fact that they're from the small market
and they've won, they've had success and all that, but
I would not be betting on them next.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Kellen Moore told the media this weekend, we'll see when
asked if the Saints will name their starting quarterback this week, Oh,
we'll see, Ben.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Who do you think it's gonna be? All right? So
I've done the math on this coup. It's impossible for
Kellen Moore to name a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback.
They all blow the same, They all suck. There's not
one good quarterback there. Spencer rather terrible, Tyler Shuck horrific,
and Jake and they got a trade for a quarter
trade for Jamis Winston. How'd we do you fail this edition?
(39:13):
To win? Bo Nicks? Stop propaganda?

only you, the overnight nocturnal listener, can provide. Well, we
mentioned this earlier, and I thought, well, hey, they're a
morbid franchise, so why not the New Orleans Saints. They
(40:16):
don't have a quarterback. Even if they had a quarterback
on their roster, they don't. They have multiple quarterbacks. They
all suck. So any advice to the New Orleans Saints
on solving their quarterback dilemma. We can also do this
for the Colts if you want. But I thought we
were talking about the Saints early, so we'll bring that up.
