Speaker 1 (00:32):
Ratcheting up tensions, Welcome in the beginning of another night
of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:46):

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Big iHeart Building in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (01:19):

(01:40):
Way tire Buying show being we're back at it, a
couple of days away from the big Malor meet and greet.
We have not promoted that enough. We have not promoted
that enough. I'd be coming up on Saturday. We hanging
out here in Vegas, so hopefully come down if you're
in the area, and if you can make it, that'd
be great, be wonderful. But our lead to begin the festivities.
(02:02):
We start out in Dallas. There's a theme here and
if you're tired of hearing about the cowboys, well you're
you're in for dismay all night long, all night long,
because another day, another basketful of goodies delivered room service
style from Jerry's World, the Gift that keeps giving. So
Jerry Jones was schmoozing. There's a lot to this, there's
(02:23):
a lot of moving parts to this story. So Jerry
Jones was schmoozing with his pal Michael Irvin and Michael
Irvis now got a podcast because everyone loves audio content,
everyone wants to do audio content. And so Michael Irvin,
who I think has lost every TV job, kind of
like me, and so he's doing a podcast and he
dropped Jerry Jones dropped a golden nugget on that podcast. Now,
(02:45):
if you have not heard the commentary, maybe not so.
Jerry said. The big money quote here, Jerry said that
they had an agreement in place with disgruntled edge rusher
Michael Parsons that would have made Micah Parsons the highest
paid defensive player, highest picked non quarterback in the NFL.
(03:08):
So in terms of guaranteed money, according to Jerry Jones,
he would have made more money than anyone outside of
a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
At least that's what Jerry said.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And then, according to Jerry Jones, the Cowboys general management owner,
the agent David Mullagetta tells him to quote, stick it
up your blanketing. I don't even even say that. I
don't even know what you can say it stick it
up here, you know what? So anyway later exactly, yeah,
(03:39):
So I mean we are in the safe harbor.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I mean, come on, we're doing overnights. We can say that,
I think.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But anyway, later a reporter contacted the agent, David Mullaghetta,
and said, hey, what's going on, what's up with this?
What's your side of the story, And the agent for
Micah Parsons laughed allegedly and he said, I have never
used that phrase in my life. And for Jerry Jones
(04:05):
saying that this is false. This never happened. According to
the report, it's just another public way to make this situation,
which was already ugly, even uglier now. Ryan Clark, a
jock sniffing very woke analyst, claimed that David Mulagetta, the agent,
(04:26):
in no way has ever told Jerry Jones or any
other general manager or owner that phrase. It's all bull crap.
It's all lies, that is the report. So let's discuss.
That's a good jumping off point. So the question Jerry
Jones claims, the cowboy owner claims that the agent told
(04:47):
him to stick the Micah Parsons offer up his tushy,
and the agent exactly. The agent claims it's all lies.
He said, he said situation. So where does the truth
lie on this one? Does it lie with Jerry Jones
or does it lie with Micah Parson's agent. So my
thoughts on this one, I've got three be kind of
(05:09):
a player, Page seventeen and Christmas Tree, and we'll combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a spicy stew is what we're going to make.
So my first thought is the plot thickens on this one.
This is going to be a great story right in
(05:29):
to the start of the regular season. It's already been wonderful.
We've gotten at least three monologues a week out of
the Micah Parsons soap opera, and I don't see that
ending anytime soon. You know, we had another couple weeks
before the season begins, and it's going to go right
down to the eleventh hour.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And that's how this is going to play out here.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And so in terms of the latest chapter in this
there are three sides to every story. In this case,
you've got Jerry Jones side, You've got Micah Parsons side,
and then somewhere else you have the truth.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And so we are going with the owner for a
couple of reasons on this one. I'm gonna go with
Jerry Jones on this one. They explain. Why where do
you go with Jerry? You always suck up the older
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right, So, having been around a couple of years
or so, I don't know, it's been a few years now,
the sports media world, but also just being around the
media world, being around agents. In fact, I was just
having a conversation prior to the to the show here
in Vegas with the woman who's helped.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Us out here, and she's she's I don't have an agent.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I was gonna get an agent. We were having we
were telling stories about agents. But agents are like politicians.
You should never believe a politician and you should never
believe an agent. And so you know, and listen, Jerry,
it's not like Jerry Jones is much better.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I get it right. Jerry Jones is what we call
a three B player. Do you know what a three
B player is? Now? A three B kind of a player.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Braggadocious, bombastic, blowhard, that's a three B player.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Regardless of that, the malor hypothesis, which is the hypethesis
of record, is that a version, right, a version of
this happened. A version of this happened, and Jerry just
kind of added some flowery language. The agent said something
to the effect of, we need to negotiate this, and
(07:18):
Jerry just added on some of his own perfume or
cologne or whatever, right that for embellishment. So the agent
MOVEI geta claiming that he's never used that phrase in
his life. Now, that to me is you know what,
that is dead giveaway. That is a dead giveaway. You
lost me, Liar, liar, right. Everyone has said that either
(07:42):
on the playground when you were in elementary school or
junior high or high school, or as an adult, and
likely all of those things. So I don't buy it
now Page two. Does Jerry Jones have ulterior motives? Is
there some kind of ulterior motive here? Randomly on a
random Thursday before the final exhibition games are played this
(08:05):
weekend in the NFL, Jerry Jones goes on with his bff,
his buddy, the playmaker, Michael Irvin, and and then goes, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm just gonna drop this casually, this update
on Micah Parson's agent. So the answer, of course, one
thousand percent, there are alternative or ulterior motives here, and
it's not insane. It's negotiation with the capitol end here
(08:30):
and that's how it works.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And whether it's.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Twenty twenty five or any of the last you know,
five ten years, this is kind of how the game
is played.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Given how how to play the game.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
The agents want every last penny, every ounce of leverage
they can get. And this guy, David move again of
the agent, is like this, I get the guys. He's
been around for a couple of years. He had a
big situation with t Higgins that blew up.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think it was last year.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It didn't go so well. And so this guy the
agent's trying to make a name for himself. He wants
wants to become the Scott Boris of NFL agents. That's
the way I read the room, like this guy wants
to be the biggest, baddest sob when it comes to agents.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
And how do you do that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You take on Jerry Jones and you go sparring with
Jerry Jones. That's how you become a massive name and
everyone will gravitate to you and there'll be in awe
of you because Jerry Jones is the most powerful man
in the NFL. And not Roger Goodell or Patrick Mahomes.
It's Jerry Jones and so formula Ghana. You know, he's
(09:32):
trying to make his mark here and say, hey, I'm
not just a sleazy agent. I'm the king of sleazy agents.
I'm the king of sleazy agents. But here's the thing, right,
Jerry's not he's not talking to the agent anymore.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And really, what.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's doing on this one, it's kind of obvious. I
give you some psycho babble. He's talking directly or indirectly
to Micah, Michael Parsons, to the media because Michael Parsons,
like all these other guys, is obsessed with social media
more on that later and is all about that action
boss and is consuming all this stuff. And so Jerry
is essentially saying, hey, Mike, it's a it's a guy
(10:09):
who's screw screwing.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
This up, all right, So he just is.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I mean, it's it's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
bad situation for you, Micah, because of the agent. And
if you want this money, if you want to play
for the Dallas Cowboys, well, hey, you know you gotta
do it. You gotta you gotta help us out here,
and you gotta, you know, talk to your agent, fiery agent,
do whatever you have to do.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So that being said, it's all theater, right, he knows
what he's doing. Uh, Jerry Jones, he's just an old loser. No,
Jerry just reframed the entire negotiation. And it's not cowboys
versus Parsons, it's Parsons versus the agent. He's putting the
(10:56):
story out, so the fans turn on the agent. So
Parton starts sweating a little bit, and it's a it's
kind of a rewrite if you will, you know, it's
a little bit of a rewrite where you know from
the previous story. The previous storyline was, well, Jerry's Jerry's cheap,
and now we're pivoting to why is the agent torpedoing
(11:17):
a record setting deal? So this is on page if
you look at the handbook, it's page seventeen of Jerry
Jones handbook, The Cowboy screw Job.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
He did this years ago with EMMITTT.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Smith and to some degree with Dez Bryant, and now
he's attempting to do it with Michael Parsons. And so
he's negotiating in public, he's making it personal and then
tries to cut the agent out of the equation. So
the impass continues, which is great. If you have four
hours of talk radio that you have to worry about,
(11:51):
it's really good. Unless the agent's gonna Venmo Michaeh Parsons.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That was at twenty four million this year.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Michaeh Parson is playing like this is not Leveon Bell
two point zero.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Like that's that's reality.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You're not gonna leave I think I read somewhe's like
a million and a half dollars a game that Michael
Parson is gonna get paid.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You're not gonna leave that money out there, no way,
no how.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Now meanwhile, Jerry comes out smelling like a nice rose. Right,
you're smelling like because it is really a brilliant PR strategy,
because he's the guy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Jerry's like, listen, I'm the guy. I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Make Parsons the richest defensive player in the NFL at least.
That's what I'm saying. And it's the agent. It's the agent.
He's the bad guy. And I mean it's the bad
I'm pointing in heavy's the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Classic Jerry Jones. All right, now, last word, so earlier, I.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mean, this is the hour of Jerry Jones, So earlier,
Jerry Jones did a separate interview in which he talked
about the the situation where he's been running the Dallas
Cowboys forever and ever and they haven't won anything in
a generation. He's spent twenty nine years going on thirty
now for the Cowboys, the Super Bowl drought and the
(13:05):
NFC Title Game drought, and so Jerry Jones I thought
it was interesting. Jerry Jones said that, Yeah, I get it.
I'm the common denominator, he said.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
The rough out.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
However, however, Jerry defended the way that he's doing it,
saying that our cowboy approaches from Jerry Jones to try
to win the Super Bowl doesn't need the change. Jerry
Jones said, that's why Jerry said he's so defensive. I
was shop that up a little bit, but that's the quote.
(13:39):
So how do you react to Jerry Jones saying that
the Cowboys approach does not need to change. So as
a businessman, he's absolutely right. He's absolutely right. And if
I bought an NFL team, and that's a great job.
You're the GM of an NFL team, you own the team.
Why would you give that up? And from a business standpoint,
(14:02):
if it's not broken. The old line goes, why you're
gonna fix it? You don't need to fix this, not broken?
Why would you fix this not broken? You know what
Jerry Jones is. Jerry Jones is a Christmas tree farmer.
Let me explain it, right, because to me, this is
the perfect analogy for Jerry Jones, and no one else
has it. I don't think anyone will know this is
original take. Nobody else has this take. It's my take,
(14:25):
and no one else has it because it's a ridiculous take.
But let me explain. Let me, let me give you
my elevator pitch. Why Jerry Jones is really just a
Christmas tree farmer? Because Christmas trees. It's just perfect for
the cowboys. As I understand it. Now, I've never been
in the Christmas tree business, but as I understand it,
as a farmer, you would plant those things and you
have to wait a number of years to get any
(14:47):
real payoff on that. I think I saw years ago
there it was like at least seven years longer than
that to get any real kind of payoff on that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So it's a little bit longer.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But in the ballpark of the NFL rebuild, now I
believe read build is a poisonous word, but just go
with it for the purposes of the take. So it's
an NFL rebuild seven years right there, boom. But Jerry,
Jerry doesn't have to wait that Christmas tree farmer has
to wait seven years or longer.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
But Jerry doesn't even need to pick up a chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And he's figured out how to sell people the very
idea of the tree.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Every single day of the year.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And most farmers your sales window, if you're in that world,
you got to sell Christmas trees. What from like November,
November and December, right, That's pretty much it. And then
for the Cowboys in the NFL, it's January and February's playoffs.
Super Bowl, which they're never in, is in February. But
Jerry's got fans and not you, of course, but some
(15:49):
other people, the dumb ones in the back. He's got
them buying Christmas trees in the middle of June, in
the middle of August, pre season football. He turned a
season crop into a daily cash cow. And all Jerry
Jones did was throw a star on top of the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Pressed down. Abra cadabra, hocus pocus. That's the Cowboy brand.
And again the math on this, the math, not Mallard math.
This is the actual math. So the Cowboys, Jerry paid
one hundred and fifty million for the team. It's back
in the eighties. That's back in the nineteen eighty a
long time ago. And now Forbes says they just came
out with us. The other day Forbes said the Cowboys
(16:32):
are worth twelve point eight billion, So one hundred and
fifty million, Whi's a lot of money, but twelve point
eight billion, which is a lot more money.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And he's the most powerful owner around.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And the Dallas Cowboys are not They're not even a
football team we mentioned. They're more like they're about the dynasty,
but in this one, they're like an evergreen farm. Of course,
the key part of that the ever green, the type
that never dies. It never ever dies. It is the
Ban Malor Show. And we are just beginning the Red
Eye flight. Will be here all night long into the
(17:07):

a one arm bandit where they make the. Most you,
know In vegas, year they make the most money off
those penny. Slots they make more money off penny. Slots
that is a suckers. Game you ever walk into a
casino and you see all those slot, machines there's a
reason for.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
It they make more money off those than anything. Else
all right, Now my first.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Thought on, this, Though Michael parsons did not just scrub
The cowboys from his. Bio he took A brillo pad
to The, star A brillo pad to The, star the,
brand the, badge the very, idea the very idea Of
dallas to The. Soul one, minute he's the face of
(25:57):
The Cowboy Defense Michael parsons face of the. Franchise the
NEXT T B D T B, d and he's posting
scripture and peace signs like he's entering The monk era
of his. Life you know how like musicians go through different, eras,
right they're lovers of the devil and they Love god
(26:17):
and then they do other, stuff and so to football
players Like Michael parsons is, now, well Now i'm in
my spiritual monk era of my.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Career.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Now IN nfl, jargon, okay IN nfl, jargon it is
a digital middle. Finger the bird is the, word but
it is rap. Nicely it is rapped nicely in A bible.
Verse so he's got. That but, really what happened, Here
i'm Gonna i'm gonna break it down for, you, Okay
and we do things a little differently around these.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Parts we're not one of those daytime. Shows so what
happened here Is michael went To barnes And. Noble are
there any other national book chains other Than barnes And.
Noble it's like it's not a, lot, right because people
don't really read books.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Anyway you're you're all on your, phone you, know that's
all you're. Anyway michaeh went to. It just play with,
Me just just go with. Me so So micah went
with with his, buddy a guy Named. Phil they went
To barnes And. Noble he purchased a cliff notes for the,
Book An Idiot's guide To. Athletes unfollowing teams on social
media And parsons bought the. Book he highlighted every chapter
(27:24):
and posted the. Receipts chapter, One, edit chapter, two, Erase chapter, three,
disassociate good, afternoon good, evening and good. Night it is
the athlete's version of ghosting your ex while you're still living.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
In the same. House.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
House it's that's what it, is. Right it's, like you,
Know i'm not with that person. Anymore i'm gonna ghost,
them But i'm still living. There in the age of
the digital, breadcrumb every, deletion every deletion of a cowboy
logo is a. Declaration the scrub is the. Scream the
unfollow is the. Ultimatum it might be too. Dramatic i've
(28:01):
got to talk show to. Do Michaeh parsons is telling
The dallas. Cowboys pay, me respect my agent or trade,
me but don't pretend we're still, good because we're not good.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Anymore and the.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Social media cleanse was so, thorough it was so thorough
it could have been sponsored by Mister, clean, right Mister
clean could have been the corporate. Sponsor that was a
Digital molotov cocktail thrown right At jerry's, yacht his ten
gazillion dollar. Yacht that's what that. Was so we'll see
(28:36):
what happens. NEXT i maintain my. POSITION i maintained my
position that the deal will get done at the eleventh,
hour that we'll get Some Jay glazer report on THE
nfl On fox pregame. Show this Ustan Jerry jones secretly
reached out to the agent and there was a deal
done behind closed, doors And mike is.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Going to sign the contract and all. That, now turning the.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Page another story that we've been following here and back
IN la and that is The rams and their Quote sean.
McVay sean McVay is out there out of you saw
he's puffing his chest out like a rooster About Matthew.
Stafford So Matthew stafford practiced, again and that's big. News
(29:23):
you know things are not going great when just the
fact that your quarterback practiced for a couple of days
in a, row that's like Exciting, anyway McVeigh, said here's
the money quote no, Restrictions no. Restrictions looks like the
stud we, know what's your read on that? Quote what's
your read on that quote From sean. McVay SO i
(29:43):
give this one some side. EYE i give this one,
someday like it's nice That stafford looks good In august
wearing one of those red. Jerseys it, says do not.
Touch i've got the. Cooties do not. TOUCH i got the.
Cooties and while the you know they're rushing what two
hand touch flag, football while you're throwing the throwing the.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Ball like in THE.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
NFL i know it's not as violent as it was
back in my day WHEN i was a kid and
they used human. Torpedoes but THE, nfl every snap is
a monster truck edition Of Demolition, Derby Monster Truck Edition Demolition.
Derby AND i didn't watch THE ram, practice but from
WHAT i, understand and Maybe i'm wrong on, this maybe
he was out. THERE i didn't see The. NINERS i
(30:27):
didn't see The Niners Nick bosa, breathing breathing Down Matthew savage's.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
NECK i didn't see.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
THAT i don't Think Leonard williams of The seahawks was
running around and trying to impress our FRIEND jj from.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
WRITTEN i don't think that was going.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
On he wasn't, like, well, No streudinas might be, WATCHING
i better go get a second because he wasn't. There
and while What sean McVay said may be, TRUE i was, like,
well there's the stud we thought he would.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Be that's.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Great it's important to remember that it doesn't change the big.
Picture the big picture continues to be That Matthew stafford's
back is a tender, box but not the dating. App
it's a tinder, box and the guy is one bad
twist away from being Dun skies and The, rams and
(31:14):
AS i think The rams will be find during the regular.
Season even If stafford goes, down down down for the,
count the issue is long along down the. Line in the,
playoffs you gotta get have, problem but the division is
not very good Like. Seattle's seattle's pretty much thrown in
the towel With Sam. Darnell that guy blows and they've
got alligator Arms murray down there In, arizona so they're
(31:37):
not really trying and the forty Nine ers paid Rock,
party which means they're not really trying to win. Either
so The, rams by default are still in good position
even without a, quarterback even without A Quebec seattle and
have a. Quarterback arizona doesn't have a, quarterback and the
forty Nine.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Ers don't really have a.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Quarterback so The rams are hanging their entire season On
Matthew stafford's spine holding up And jimmy g not sneezing
The so it is a house of cards, situation is
what it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Is and that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
All right, now final thought to the rules. Police we
go go to the rules. Police SO i thought this was,
interesting AND i don't know if you saw it or.
Not THE nfl officiating rules Analyst Walt, anderson WHO i
think is a thousand years old, Now So Walt anderson
discussed players celebrations and he said the league wants to
(32:27):
crack down on inappropriate. Celebrations, uh, oh what? Whoe and
he gave a couple of statistics in the process or. Process,
now you gotta understand that we like statistics because we
do the who Am my game and the instant, Trivia
but statistics are the easiest thing in the world to
manipulate and twist. Around that being, said here is the
(32:51):
quote From Walt, anderson representing THE. Nfl he, said from
the standpoint of our, taunting he, said it was UP
i believe about fifty five.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Percent last.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Year there was fifty five percent more, taunting he, said unsportsmanlike,
gestures whether they were simulating or brandishing a, gun or
inappropriate gestures like a throat, Slash well you don't want
to you want to cut somebody's head, off you don't
want to behead, them or he, said unfortunate sexual gestures
(33:21):
that were. Made those were up almost one hundred and
thirty three, percent according To Walt. Anderson SO i could
go on and on, here get to the, point. Please
so the point is that this is now a point
of emphasis for THE. Nfl THE nfl is going. In
the season begins in less than two. Weeks, now forget
these fugazy exhibition games like the real, season and so
(33:42):
this is where they're, emphasizing emphasizing the. Focus so question
for The esteem, panel what are your impressions on THE
nfl looking to crack down on players celebratory, gyrations because
that's really what this is. About so THE nfl owner
are pulling out the red. Beret it's a little bit
(34:03):
of a dated, reference but there was this CLASSIC tv
show back in the, day which is still on in
streaming and can watch the show and. Whatnot there was
a character Named rerun who had this red beret right
and it was a SHOW i think it's Called What's
happening or. Whatever that's What this is a. Rerun this
is a. Rerun so here we go. Again the NFL's
back in. Business, baby they're. Back they're heading Down No Fun.
Highway No Fun league is. Returning you can't have that
(34:27):
scary throat slash because that will encourage.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Someone you, know somebody will watch.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
THAT i, say, WELL i never wanted to cut somebody's,
throat but NOW i saw AN nfl player pretend to
cut somebody's, throat so NOW i want to cut somebody's.
Throat we cannot have a guy pretending to shoot a
finger gun because somebody might decide to go out and
buy a gun because they saw somebody in THE nfl
shoot a finger.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Gun we all know that's how violence.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Begins and we cannot have a little hip thrust because you,
know if somebody scores a, touchdown Little, johnny who probably
sees that fifty times worse on his, phone cannot see.
That and we certainly cannot have any bumping in grinding
in the air by AN nfl player because we know
that will of course lead to people who are not
engaging in adult activities to go out and engage in adult.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Activities.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Anyway, Listen Roger goodell is now the sheriff. Again he's
the gesture. Sheriff he's the moral, Police he's all, that
and so wide receivers better not do.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That you, know that wrong nose white. Thing you can't do.
That you can't pretend like you're snorting. Coke you can't do.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That and the other THOUGHT i had WHEN i was
coming into the studio here was how great this is
For John.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Moran, oh are you talking About Job buran start a football.
Player you're, Stupid that's why you're doing. Overnights you don't
know That Job baran plays. Basketball, YES i, do.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Stupid the REASON i bring Up John morant we did
several monologues On John morant because he kept getting in
trouble for fake molotov, cocktails, lobbing fake hand, grenades all that.
Stuff So John morant is now officially to for my,
purposes and you can call up and, disagree but for my,
purposes he is the FIRST nba player to inspire THE
(36:03):
nfl to enforce a rule because you.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Know THE nfl is, like, Well John morant was doing.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
It and these These jabbroni's in THE, nfl they love,
basketball so they're gonna they're gonna try to be Like John.
Morant and, yes not because of how he. Plays it's
because he made a. Lot he was very good at finger. Guns,
uh and that's you, know taboo in THE nfl is
now banning it and all that. Stuff and so what's.
Next you, know it got guy playing air guitar and
(36:28):
he didn't play it the right. Way MAYBE i did a, little,
uh a wrong move with his. HIPS i, mean throw
a fifteen yard. Penalty if a lineman flexes too, hard
that's a. Problem and it reminds me years. Ago there
was one of the one of the funniest bits we
did on the. Show there was this guy Named Cam
newton was playing with The carolina And Cam NEWTON i
think it was against The Tennessee, titans BECAUSE i remember
(36:50):
it was back when so long ago newspapers were still
a big, deal, Right and so some woman In nashville
sent a letter to the editor complaining that she was
at A titans.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Game i'm pretty sure it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
WAS i THINK i have this story right AS i,
Remember and she said she was either kids or. Whatever
And Cam newton scored a touchdown and he had pelvic
thrusts and arrogant, struts and she was very. Upset she
was very upset by his pelvic thrust and arrogant. Struts
so THE nfl now is wait a, minute we got
to go back to that. Standard you cannot have pelvic
(37:24):
thrust and arrogant. Struts you cannot do. It and on this,
ONE i wanted who. COMPLAIN i sent some messages out
during the. DAY i was, like, hey you need to
complain on, this because you don't all of a sudden
change this and some unless someone, complained that's got.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Power so AS i was an, OWNER i mean there's
some new. Owners.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Now some of these owners have, croaked so you got
the next generation that's taken.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Over so was it one of them.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Or the other possibility is it some sponsor from a
part of the world that's a little more buttoned up
than we, Are and they're, like we can't be doing
that because we're spending our money or we're gonna spend our,
money and So i'm not. Sure i'm imagining that will come.
Out i'm imagining that will come out in the next
couple of. Days we'll find. Out someone will, say, well
this person was upset and that's why this, happened and
(38:13):
we'll see cannot, wait cannot wait for your FAVORITE nfl
player to score a touchdown and then do the old
pelvic thrust and fifteen yard. Penalty fifteen yard. Penalty that's,
it that's all. Right it is The Ben Malord. Show
we're doing it live From. Vegas got The Big Malard

couple of days away from the big Malor meet and greet.
We have not promoted that enough. We have not promoted
that enough. I'd be coming up on Saturday. We hanging
out here in Vegas, so hopefully come down if you're
in the area, and if you can make it, that'd
be great, be wonderful. But our lead to begin the festivities.
(02:02):
We start out in Dallas. There's a theme here and
if you're tired of hearing about the cowboys, well you're
you're in for dismay all night long, all night long,
because another day, another basketful of goodies delivered room service
style from Jerry's World, the Gift that keeps giving. So
Jerry Jones was schmoozing. There's a lot to this, there's
(02:23):
a lot of moving parts to this story. So Jerry
Jones was schmoozing with his pal Michael Irvin and Michael
Irvis now got a podcast because everyone loves audio content,
everyone wants to do audio content. And so Michael Irvin,
who I think has lost every TV job, kind of
like me, and so he's doing a podcast and he
dropped Jerry Jones dropped a golden nugget on that podcast. Now,
(02:45):
if you have not heard the commentary, maybe not so.
Jerry said. The big money quote here, Jerry said that
they had an agreement in place with disgruntled edge rusher
Michael Parsons that would have made Micah Parsons the highest
paid defensive player, highest picked non quarterback in the NFL.
(03:08):
So in terms of guaranteed money, according to Jerry Jones,
he would have made more money than anyone outside of
a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
At least that's what Jerry said.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And then, according to Jerry Jones, the Cowboys general management owner,
the agent David Mullagetta tells him to quote, stick it
up your blanketing. I don't even even say that. I
don't even know what you can say it stick it
up here, you know what? So anyway later exactly, yeah,
(03:39):
So I mean we are in the safe harbor.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I mean, come on, we're doing overnights. We can say that,
I think.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But anyway, later a reporter contacted the agent, David Mullaghetta,
and said, hey, what's going on, what's up with this?
What's your side of the story, And the agent for
Micah Parsons laughed allegedly and he said, I have never
used that phrase in my life. And for Jerry Jones
(04:05):
saying that this is false. This never happened. According to
the report, it's just another public way to make this situation,
which was already ugly, even uglier now. Ryan Clark, a
jock sniffing very woke analyst, claimed that David Mulagetta, the agent,
(04:26):
in no way has ever told Jerry Jones or any
other general manager or owner that phrase. It's all bull crap.
It's all lies, that is the report. So let's discuss.
That's a good jumping off point. So the question Jerry
Jones claims, the cowboy owner claims that the agent told
(04:47):
him to stick the Micah Parsons offer up his tushy,
and the agent exactly. The agent claims it's all lies.
He said, he said situation. So where does the truth
lie on this one? Does it lie with Jerry Jones
or does it lie with Micah Parson's agent. So my
thoughts on this one, I've got three be kind of
(05:09):
a player, Page seventeen and Christmas Tree, and we'll combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a spicy stew is what we're going to make.
So my first thought is the plot thickens on this one.
This is going to be a great story right in
(05:29):
to the start of the regular season. It's already been wonderful.
We've gotten at least three monologues a week out of
the Micah Parsons soap opera, and I don't see that
ending anytime soon. You know, we had another couple weeks
before the season begins, and it's going to go right
down to the eleventh hour.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And that's how this is going to play out here.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And so in terms of the latest chapter in this
there are three sides to every story. In this case,
you've got Jerry Jones side, You've got Micah Parsons side,
and then somewhere else you have the truth.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And so we are going with the owner for a
couple of reasons on this one. I'm gonna go with
Jerry Jones on this one. They explain. Why where do
you go with Jerry? You always suck up the older
Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right, So, having been around a couple of years
or so, I don't know, it's been a few years now,
the sports media world, but also just being around the
media world, being around agents. In fact, I was just
having a conversation prior to the to the show here
in Vegas with the woman who's helped.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Us out here, and she's she's I don't have an agent.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I was gonna get an agent. We were having we
were telling stories about agents. But agents are like politicians.
You should never believe a politician and you should never
believe an agent. And so you know, and listen, Jerry,
it's not like Jerry Jones is much better.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I get it right. Jerry Jones is what we call
a three B player. Do you know what a three
B player is? Now? A three B kind of a player.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Braggadocious, bombastic, blowhard, that's a three B player.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Regardless of that, the malor hypothesis, which is the hypethesis
of record, is that a version, right, a version of
this happened. A version of this happened, and Jerry just
kind of added some flowery language. The agent said something
to the effect of, we need to negotiate this, and
(07:18):
Jerry just added on some of his own perfume or
cologne or whatever, right that for embellishment. So the agent
MOVEI geta claiming that he's never used that phrase in
his life. Now, that to me is you know what,
that is dead giveaway. That is a dead giveaway. You
lost me, Liar, liar, right. Everyone has said that either
(07:42):
on the playground when you were in elementary school or
junior high or high school, or as an adult, and
likely all of those things. So I don't buy it
now Page two. Does Jerry Jones have ulterior motives? Is
there some kind of ulterior motive here? Randomly on a
random Thursday before the final exhibition games are played this
(08:05):
weekend in the NFL, Jerry Jones goes on with his bff,
his buddy, the playmaker, Michael Irvin, and and then goes, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm just gonna drop this casually, this update
on Micah Parson's agent. So the answer, of course, one
thousand percent, there are alternative or ulterior motives here, and
it's not insane. It's negotiation with the capitol end here
(08:30):
and that's how it works.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And whether it's.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Twenty twenty five or any of the last you know,
five ten years, this is kind of how the game
is played.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Given how how to play the game.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
The agents want every last penny, every ounce of leverage
they can get. And this guy, David move again of
the agent, is like this, I get the guys. He's
been around for a couple of years. He had a
big situation with t Higgins that blew up.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think it was last year.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It didn't go so well. And so this guy the
agent's trying to make a name for himself. He wants
wants to become the Scott Boris of NFL agents. That's
the way I read the room, like this guy wants
to be the biggest, baddest sob when it comes to agents.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
And how do you do that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You take on Jerry Jones and you go sparring with
Jerry Jones. That's how you become a massive name and
everyone will gravitate to you and there'll be in awe
of you because Jerry Jones is the most powerful man
in the NFL. And not Roger Goodell or Patrick Mahomes.
It's Jerry Jones and so formula Ghana. You know, he's
(09:32):
trying to make his mark here and say, hey, I'm
not just a sleazy agent. I'm the king of sleazy agents.
I'm the king of sleazy agents. But here's the thing, right,
Jerry's not he's not talking to the agent anymore.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And really, what.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's doing on this one, it's kind of obvious. I
give you some psycho babble. He's talking directly or indirectly
to Micah, Michael Parsons, to the media because Michael Parsons,
like all these other guys, is obsessed with social media
more on that later and is all about that action
boss and is consuming all this stuff. And so Jerry
is essentially saying, hey, Mike, it's a it's a guy
(10:09):
who's screw screwing.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
This up, all right, So he just is.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I mean, it's it's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
bad situation for you, Micah, because of the agent. And
if you want this money, if you want to play
for the Dallas Cowboys, well, hey, you know you gotta
do it. You gotta you gotta help us out here,
and you gotta, you know, talk to your agent, fiery agent,
do whatever you have to do.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So that being said, it's all theater, right, he knows
what he's doing. Uh, Jerry Jones, he's just an old loser. No,
Jerry just reframed the entire negotiation. And it's not cowboys
versus Parsons, it's Parsons versus the agent. He's putting the
(10:56):
story out, so the fans turn on the agent. So
Parton starts sweating a little bit, and it's a it's
kind of a rewrite if you will, you know, it's
a little bit of a rewrite where you know from
the previous story. The previous storyline was, well, Jerry's Jerry's cheap,
and now we're pivoting to why is the agent torpedoing
(11:17):
a record setting deal? So this is on page if
you look at the handbook, it's page seventeen of Jerry
Jones handbook, The Cowboy screw Job.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
He did this years ago with EMMITTT.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Smith and to some degree with Dez Bryant, and now
he's attempting to do it with Michael Parsons. And so
he's negotiating in public, he's making it personal and then
tries to cut the agent out of the equation. So
the impass continues, which is great. If you have four
hours of talk radio that you have to worry about,
(11:51):
it's really good. Unless the agent's gonna Venmo Michaeh Parsons.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That was at twenty four million this year.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Michaeh Parson is playing like this is not Leveon Bell
two point zero.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Like that's that's reality.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You're not gonna leave I think I read somewhe's like
a million and a half dollars a game that Michael
Parson is gonna get paid.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You're not gonna leave that money out there, no way,
no how.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Now meanwhile, Jerry comes out smelling like a nice rose. Right,
you're smelling like because it is really a brilliant PR strategy,
because he's the guy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Jerry's like, listen, I'm the guy. I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Make Parsons the richest defensive player in the NFL at least.
That's what I'm saying. And it's the agent. It's the agent.
He's the bad guy. And I mean it's the bad
I'm pointing in heavy's the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Classic Jerry Jones. All right, now, last word, so earlier, I.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mean, this is the hour of Jerry Jones, So earlier,
Jerry Jones did a separate interview in which he talked
about the the situation where he's been running the Dallas
Cowboys forever and ever and they haven't won anything in
a generation. He's spent twenty nine years going on thirty
now for the Cowboys, the Super Bowl drought and the
(13:05):
NFC Title Game drought, and so Jerry Jones I thought
it was interesting. Jerry Jones said that, Yeah, I get it.
I'm the common denominator, he said.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
The rough out.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
However, however, Jerry defended the way that he's doing it,
saying that our cowboy approaches from Jerry Jones to try
to win the Super Bowl doesn't need the change. Jerry
Jones said, that's why Jerry said he's so defensive. I
was shop that up a little bit, but that's the quote.
(13:39):
So how do you react to Jerry Jones saying that
the Cowboys approach does not need to change. So as
a businessman, he's absolutely right. He's absolutely right. And if
I bought an NFL team, and that's a great job.
You're the GM of an NFL team, you own the team.
Why would you give that up? And from a business standpoint,
(14:02):
if it's not broken. The old line goes, why you're
gonna fix it? You don't need to fix this, not broken?
Why would you fix this not broken? You know what
Jerry Jones is. Jerry Jones is a Christmas tree farmer.
Let me explain it, right, because to me, this is
the perfect analogy for Jerry Jones, and no one else
has it. I don't think anyone will know this is
original take. Nobody else has this take. It's my take,
(14:25):
and no one else has it because it's a ridiculous take.
But let me explain. Let me, let me give you
my elevator pitch. Why Jerry Jones is really just a
Christmas tree farmer? Because Christmas trees. It's just perfect for
the cowboys. As I understand it. Now, I've never been
in the Christmas tree business, but as I understand it,
as a farmer, you would plant those things and you
have to wait a number of years to get any
(14:47):
real payoff on that. I think I saw years ago
there it was like at least seven years longer than
that to get any real kind of payoff on that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So it's a little bit longer.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But in the ballpark of the NFL rebuild, now I
believe read build is a poisonous word, but just go
with it for the purposes of the take. So it's
an NFL rebuild seven years right there, boom. But Jerry,
Jerry doesn't have to wait that Christmas tree farmer has
to wait seven years or longer.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
But Jerry doesn't even need to pick up a chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And he's figured out how to sell people the very
idea of the tree.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Every single day of the year.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And most farmers your sales window, if you're in that world,
you got to sell Christmas trees. What from like November,
November and December, right, That's pretty much it. And then
for the Cowboys in the NFL, it's January and February's playoffs.
Super Bowl, which they're never in, is in February. But
Jerry's got fans and not you, of course, but some
(15:49):
other people, the dumb ones in the back. He's got
them buying Christmas trees in the middle of June, in
the middle of August, pre season football. He turned a
season crop into a daily cash cow. And all Jerry
Jones did was throw a star on top of the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Pressed down. Abra cadabra, hocus pocus. That's the Cowboy brand.
And again the math on this, the math, not Mallard math.
This is the actual math. So the Cowboys, Jerry paid
one hundred and fifty million for the team. It's back
in the eighties. That's back in the nineteen eighty a
long time ago. And now Forbes says they just came
out with us. The other day Forbes said the Cowboys
(16:32):
are worth twelve point eight billion, So one hundred and
fifty million, Whi's a lot of money, but twelve point
eight billion, which is a lot more money.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And he's the most powerful owner around.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And the Dallas Cowboys are not They're not even a
football team we mentioned. They're more like they're about the dynasty,
but in this one, they're like an evergreen farm. Of course,
the key part of that the ever green, the type
that never dies. It never ever dies. It is the
Ban Malor Show. And we are just beginning the Red
Eye flight. Will be here all night long into the
(17:07):

our times in THE, nfl the story feeding the content.
(22:46):
Machine we continue around the, clock, breathless breathless attention to this.
Story so last, hour if you were, listening thank. You
if you weren't, listening bad job by.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
You where were?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You but last hour we talked about the verbal Between
Jerry jones And Micah parson's, agent AND i think you
know where we're going, now but maybe not so the
latest turn of, events the latest turn of events Between
mike And parsons And Jerry.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Jones it was a. Curveball it was a, curveball? Right
what is? That for?
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Some?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now for others it was the most expected, thing as
it is a paint by number. Situation So Michael parsons
get to the. Point Michael parsons made some changes to
his personal social media accounts On thursday, night and what
did you? Do so he started ON. X, now as you,
(23:39):
KNOW x used to be known As, twitter and Then
Elon musk got it and he, Said, wow we're gonna
call IT x and then some people still call It,
twitter but there are a lot of people now call IT,
ax AND i call IT. Ax but then it's a
weird thing because you call IT x but you still
send tweets. Out but how could you send tweets out
because it's Not twitter, Anymore so wouldn't it be X's
but you can't send x's out because that's somebody used to.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Do, Anyway so it started ON.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
X Micah parsons removed the cowboys from his bio O,
mg and he replaced the phrase t B.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
D he put that in. There that was the. Replacement
so instead of.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The, cowboy, yeah oh my, god oh it's a who done?
It he replaced his profile photo with A bible. Verse,
yeah oh, man, oh this is like a murder, mystery crime.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Mystery it's got religious.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Overtones so on His instagram, account his Personal instagram. Account
Michael parsons also gave the old boot said bye bye
to The Dallas cowboys from his bio as.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Well SO i, said that's, It we're. DONE i did
see like A Penn state photo was on there and.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Whatnot but, anyway so let us discuss the question what
do you make Of Micah parsons removing the cowboys from
his social media pages in this brew ha ha With Jerry.
Jones so my views on, This i've Got barnes And
Noble monster truck And Red, beret and we'll connect all
(25:15):
of these things together and we are going to make
a one arm bandit where they make the. Most you,
know In vegas, year they make the most money off
those penny. Slots they make more money off penny. Slots
that is a suckers. Game you ever walk into a
casino and you see all those slot, machines there's a
reason for.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
It they make more money off those than anything. Else
all right, Now my first.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Thought on, this, Though Michael parsons did not just scrub
The cowboys from his. Bio he took A brillo pad
to The, star A brillo pad to The, star the,
brand the, badge the very, idea the very idea Of
dallas to The. Soul one, minute he's the face of
(25:57):
The Cowboy Defense Michael parsons face of the. Franchise the
NEXT T B D T B, d and he's posting
scripture and peace signs like he's entering The monk era
of his. Life you know how like musicians go through different, eras,
right they're lovers of the devil and they Love god
(26:17):
and then they do other, stuff and so to football
players Like Michael parsons is, now, well Now i'm in
my spiritual monk era of my.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Career.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Now IN nfl, jargon, okay IN nfl, jargon it is
a digital middle. Finger the bird is the, word but
it is rap. Nicely it is rapped nicely in A bible.
Verse so he's got. That but, really what happened, Here
i'm Gonna i'm gonna break it down for, you, Okay
and we do things a little differently around these.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Parts we're not one of those daytime. Shows so what
happened here Is michael went To barnes And. Noble are
there any other national book chains other Than barnes And.
Noble it's like it's not a, lot, right because people
don't really read books.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Anyway you're you're all on your, phone you, know that's
all you're. Anyway michaeh went to. It just play with,
Me just just go with. Me so So micah went
with with his, buddy a guy Named. Phil they went
To barnes And. Noble he purchased a cliff notes for the,
Book An Idiot's guide To. Athletes unfollowing teams on social
media And parsons bought the. Book he highlighted every chapter
(27:24):
and posted the. Receipts chapter, One, edit chapter, two, Erase chapter, three,
disassociate good, afternoon good, evening and good. Night it is
the athlete's version of ghosting your ex while you're still living.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
In the same. House.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
House it's that's what it, is. Right it's, like you,
Know i'm not with that person. Anymore i'm gonna ghost,
them But i'm still living. There in the age of
the digital, breadcrumb every, deletion every deletion of a cowboy
logo is a. Declaration the scrub is the. Scream the
unfollow is the. Ultimatum it might be too. Dramatic i've
(28:01):
got to talk show to. Do Michaeh parsons is telling
The dallas. Cowboys pay, me respect my agent or trade,
me but don't pretend we're still, good because we're not good.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Anymore and the.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Social media cleanse was so, thorough it was so thorough

clean could have been the corporate. Sponsor that was a
Digital molotov cocktail thrown right At jerry's, yacht his ten
gazillion dollar. Yacht that's what that. Was so we'll see
(28:36):

position that the deal will get done at the eleventh,
hour that we'll get Some Jay glazer report on THE
nfl On fox pregame. Show this Ustan Jerry jones secretly
reached out to the agent and there was a deal
done behind closed, doors And mike is.

NFL i know it's not as violent as it was
back in my day WHEN i was a kid and
they used human. Torpedoes but THE, nfl every snap is
a monster truck edition Of Demolition, Derby Monster Truck Edition Demolition.
Derby AND i didn't watch THE ram, practice but from
WHAT i, understand and Maybe i'm wrong on, this maybe
he was out. THERE i didn't see The. NINERS i
(30:27):
didn't see The Niners Nick bosa, breathing breathing Down Matthew savage's.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
NECK i didn't see.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
THAT i don't Think Leonard williams of The seahawks was
running around and trying to impress our FRIEND jj from.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
WRITTEN i don't think that was going.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
On he wasn't, like, well, No streudinas might be, WATCHING
i better go get a second because he wasn't. There
and while What sean McVay said may be, TRUE i was, like,
well there's the stud we thought he would.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Be that's.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Great it's important to remember that it doesn't change the big.
Picture the big picture continues to be That Matthew stafford's
back is a tender, box but not the dating. App
it's a tinder, box and the guy is one bad
twist away from being Dun skies and The, rams and
(31:14):
AS i think The rams will be find during the regular.
Season even If stafford goes, down down down for the,
count the issue is long along down the. Line in the,
playoffs you gotta get have, problem but the division is
not very good Like. Seattle's seattle's pretty much thrown in
the towel With Sam. Darnell that guy blows and they've
got alligator Arms murray down there In, arizona so they're
(31:37):
not really trying and the forty Nine ers paid Rock,
party which means they're not really trying to win. Either
so The, rams by default are still in good position
even without a, quarterback even without A Quebec seattle and
have a. Quarterback arizona doesn't have a, quarterback and the
forty Nine.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Ers don't really have a.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Quarterback so The rams are hanging their entire season On
Matthew stafford's spine holding up And jimmy g not sneezing
The so it is a house of cards, situation is
what it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Is and that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
All right, now final thought to the rules. Police we
go go to the rules. Police SO i thought this was,
interesting AND i don't know if you saw it or.
Not THE nfl officiating rules Analyst Walt, anderson WHO i
think is a thousand years old, Now So Walt anderson
discussed players celebrations and he said the league wants to
(32:27):
crack down on inappropriate. Celebrations, uh, oh what? Whoe and
he gave a couple of statistics in the process or. Process,
now you gotta understand that we like statistics because we
do the who Am my game and the instant, Trivia
but statistics are the easiest thing in the world to
manipulate and twist. Around that being, said here is the
(32:51):
quote From Walt, anderson representing THE. Nfl he, said from
the standpoint of our, taunting he, said it was UP
i believe about fifty five.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Percent last.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Year there was fifty five percent more, taunting he, said unsportsmanlike,
gestures whether they were simulating or brandishing a, gun or
inappropriate gestures like a throat, Slash well you don't want
to you want to cut somebody's head, off you don't
want to behead, them or he, said unfortunate sexual gestures
(33:21):
that were. Made those were up almost one hundred and
thirty three, percent according To Walt. Anderson SO i could
go on and on, here get to the, point. Please
so the point is that this is now a point
of emphasis for THE. Nfl THE nfl is going. In
the season begins in less than two. Weeks, now forget
these fugazy exhibition games like the real, season and so
(33:42):
this is where they're, emphasizing emphasizing the. Focus so question
for The esteem, panel what are your impressions on THE
nfl looking to crack down on players celebratory, gyrations because
that's really what this is. About so THE nfl owner
are pulling out the red. Beret it's a little bit
(34:03):
of a dated, reference but there was this CLASSIC tv
show back in the, day which is still on in
streaming and can watch the show and. Whatnot there was
a character Named rerun who had this red beret right
and it was a SHOW i think it's Called What's
happening or. Whatever that's What this is a. Rerun this
is a. Rerun so here we go. Again the NFL's
back in. Business, baby they're. Back they're heading Down No Fun.
Highway No Fun league is. Returning you can't have that
(34:27):
scary throat slash because that will encourage.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Someone you, know somebody will watch.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
THAT i, say, WELL i never wanted to cut somebody's,
throat but NOW i saw AN nfl player pretend to
cut somebody's, throat so NOW i want to cut somebody's.
Throat we cannot have a guy pretending to shoot a
finger gun because somebody might decide to go out and
buy a gun because they saw somebody in THE nfl
shoot a finger.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Gun we all know that's how violence.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Begins and we cannot have a little hip thrust because you,
know if somebody scores a, touchdown Little, johnny who probably
sees that fifty times worse on his, phone cannot see.
That and we certainly cannot have any bumping in grinding
in the air by AN nfl player because we know
that will of course lead to people who are not
engaging in adult activities to go out and engage in adult.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Activities.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Anyway, Listen Roger goodell is now the sheriff. Again he's
the gesture. Sheriff he's the moral, Police he's all, that
and so wide receivers better not do.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That you, know that wrong nose white. Thing you can't do.
That you can't pretend like you're snorting. Coke you can't do.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That and the other THOUGHT i had WHEN i was
coming into the studio here was how great this is
For John.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Moran, oh are you talking About Job buran start a football.
Player you're, Stupid that's why you're doing. Overnights you don't
know That Job baran plays. Basketball, YES i, do.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Stupid the REASON i bring Up John morant we did
several monologues On John morant because he kept getting in
trouble for fake molotov, cocktails, lobbing fake hand, grenades all that.
Stuff So John morant is now officially to for my,
purposes and you can call up and, disagree but for my,
purposes he is the FIRST nba player to inspire THE
(36:03):
nfl to enforce a rule because you.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Know THE nfl is, like, Well John morant was doing.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
It and these These jabbroni's in THE, nfl they love,
basketball so they're gonna they're gonna try to be Like John.
Morant and, yes not because of how he. Plays it's
because he made a. Lot he was very good at finger. Guns,
uh and that's you, know taboo in THE nfl is
now banning it and all that. Stuff and so what's.
Next you, know it got guy playing air guitar and
(36:28):
he didn't play it the right. Way MAYBE i did a, little,
uh a wrong move with his. HIPS i, mean throw
a fifteen yard. Penalty if a lineman flexes too, hard
that's a. Problem and it reminds me years. Ago there
was one of the one of the funniest bits we
did on the. Show there was this guy Named Cam
newton was playing with The carolina And Cam NEWTON i
think it was against The Tennessee, titans BECAUSE i remember
(36:50):
it was back when so long ago newspapers were still
a big, deal, Right and so some woman In nashville
sent a letter to the editor complaining that she was
at A titans.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Game i'm pretty sure it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
WAS i THINK i have this story right AS i,
Remember and she said she was either kids or. Whatever
And Cam newton scored a touchdown and he had pelvic
thrusts and arrogant, struts and she was very. Upset she
was very upset by his pelvic thrust and arrogant. Struts
so THE nfl now is wait a, minute we got
to go back to that. Standard you cannot have pelvic
(37:24):
thrust and arrogant. Struts you cannot do. It and on this,
ONE i wanted who. COMPLAIN i sent some messages out
during the. DAY i was, like, hey you need to
complain on, this because you don't all of a sudden
change this and some unless someone, complained that's got.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Power so AS i was an, OWNER i mean there's
some new. Owners.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Now some of these owners have, croaked so you got
the next generation that's taken.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Over so was it one of them.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Or the other possibility is it some sponsor from a
part of the world that's a little more buttoned up
than we, Are and they're, like we can't be doing
that because we're spending our money or we're gonna spend our,
money and So i'm not. Sure i'm imagining that will come.
Out i'm imagining that will come out in the next
couple of. Days we'll find. Out someone will, say, well
this person was upset and that's why this, happened and
(38:13):
we'll see cannot, wait cannot wait for your FAVORITE nfl
player to score a touchdown and then do the old
pelvic thrust and fifteen yard. Penalty fifteen yard. Penalty that's,
it that's all. Right it is The Ben Malord. Show
we're doing it live From. Vegas got The Big Malard
