Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We are back at it. I'm told the most important
game of the night. Well, it depends if you're hockey fans.
Were you start with the hockey? Now it's the basketball
and we head to Oklahoma and the side of famously
back in the day the dust Bowl. You know you're
(00:52):
your history. So the much ballyhooed am I supposed to
say that much ballyhood matchup between the upper Crows of
the NBA. This is the real NBA Finals. Whoever wins
this series is gareron teeth of winning a championship outside
of snap crackle pop. So he had the NBA Final four,
(01:14):
but really the final two because everyone's like, well these
are the top two teams. And he got started on
Monday night. There in the Sooner State San Antonio versus
Oklahoma City, round round one of the scheduled seven round
heavyweight matchup, not if you watch the game or not,
despite the best laid plans of mice men and marketing
(01:37):
people and having the teams that, if you go by
the record, say well, if you're a sports fan, you'd
have to watch. I don't get the sense there's a
lot of that. Am I wrong on that? I don't
think I am. These teams, despite their success, do not
really move the needle. But there was round one we
(01:57):
watched so you would not have to. It's our good
mist of the day. Congratulations Victor wem Banyama. He's very
tall and very skinny. Victor Wembanyama had forty one points
and twenty four rebounds. I'm told that's good. Dylan Harper,
the spawn of Hollywood. Harper had twenty four points and
(02:18):
a partridge in a pear tree. And San Antonio with
wem baan Yama and Harper. Now, Harper also had a
playoff a team playoff record for the Spurs seven steels,
which I guess is pretty good. And so San Antonio
outlasting Oklahoma City one twenty two to one fifteen in
double over time. As my old buddy Alex back in
(02:39):
the day, he used to say, double over time. It's
so excaded. So that is the beginning. Isn't an instant classic,
Okay Western Conference Finals, So the jump goes to the Spurs.
Wem Ban Nyama ceiling it up. He had a pair
of dunks in the final minute, one of them leading
to a three point play. Also had a circuit shot
(03:01):
at the end of the first overtime, and so home
court advantage goes over to San Antonio. Of course, you
imagine that Oklahoma City will win a game in Texas.
It's not that difficult. Game two will be Wednesday in
Oklahoma City, so you get the Tuesday off back at
it there, and these Spurs have had the number of
(03:24):
Oklahoma City. If you watched the broadcast, you couldn't really
hear this because the audio was tremendously bad. Someone's losing
their job over there at NBC. My god, you probably
weren't watching. With the audio on the first halfage is
sounded like robots and it just stopped all together. Anyway,
San Antonio is beating the thunder five of the six
(03:45):
meetings this season, which seems lopsided. Oh you're being mean,
mallor well, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question who gets the biggest portion of the
Oklahoma City plate of loser chicken fried steak for SGA's
thunder as the thunder down under do not get it done?
(04:08):
So on this one, I've got timu, costco and eucalyptus,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna play tic tac toe is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna play some tick tactoe.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
We love going in the kitchen as a line cook
and serving up a biggie sized meal for chet Holgren
and mister MVP himself SGS. So they get the biggest
portion of the chicken fried steak. Congratulations. There, What a
dynamic duo these two on this particular night. Again, we
(04:45):
have a nightly talk show to do the dynamic duo
of doodoo on this night, Oklahoma City. If you look
at this game here and he said, well, what the
double overtime? I couldn't have played that poorly. Okay, these
two though, the first true farm to table flop and the
first loss of the playoffs for Oklahoma City, and nobody
(05:08):
got cooked worse than check. So let's start with him.
He gets to wear the Dunce cap. He got the
country fried, and he also got that two sides. I'm
gonna give him two sides on that combo meal, and
they're both humiliations, So a double scoop of humiliation on
the side. Now home Gren, to quote the late great
(05:29):
Brian Wheeler, was bemused, bewildered, and bedeviled the three horsemen
of the Apocalypse for Oklahoma City as they lose this
game here, and it was a classic Southwest airlines I
want to get away situation there for Chet Holmgren. And
you look at home Gren side by side if you're watching,
(05:52):
and for our blind listeners, let me try to describe this.
So you've got Homegren on the right, and then you've
got Wemby on the left, side by side, and to
the untrained eye, home Gren looks like Wemby, except it
it's Wemby ordered off TIMU Like, if you say, can
I let me go on, Tiamo, I want to order
a Wemby. Okay, we'll get your Webby and they send
(06:13):
you home Gren. He's kind of around the same height.
I know he's a couple of inches shorter, but he's
got none of the features. He's got none of the
features there. And Chet in this game was useless for
the most part. In this game, he had eight points
eight rebounds Homegren did completely failing to contain wem Banyama,
(06:35):
who absolutely torched him with forty one points and twenty
four rebounds. You had as about as much impact, even
even didn't watch the game or know anything about the game.
You had about as much impact as Homegren did. And yeah,
Homegrind had one block late in the end of regulation,
but uh, for the most part, it was not much.
(06:58):
Chet was was not really guarding Wemby. Didn't seem like
many people were guarding Wemby here. He is kind of
walking walking him like a a rescue greyhound if you will.
So if you do the side by side, and I
know they didn't match up against each other the entire game,
and it's overnight talk radio, So that's a minus thirty
(07:22):
three head to head in terms of Wemby outscoring HomeGrid.
So Homegron was outscored by thirty three points and the
rebounds minus sixteen in favor of Wemby, so that that
doesn't seem good. You know, it shouldn't be mean. That
doesn't seem good. Then you have the MVP now entering
the chat SGA, who wasn't exactly carving up the San
(07:46):
Antonio Spurs. Yeah, he was doing a lot of damage
carving up the thunders. Chances he was a net negative
in this game. The thunder were actually better when he
was not on the court. He played most of the game,
but the actually statistically were better when Jogis Alexander was
not out there. And to the untrained, the casuals, they'll say, well,
(08:09):
mald what are you talking about? You at twenty four
points and twelve and seas and you don't know ball? Okay,
I do know. If it takes you twenty three shots
to get twenty four points, you're not doing your job.
Something is going wrong here, Something is going wrong. I'm
just saying, all right now. The basketball version of going
(08:29):
to the store and there's a there's a table of
stale bread. You pay full price for stale bread. Who play?
Who pays full price for stale bread? You shouldn't play
full price for that? And the other thing is you figure, well,
she didn't play that well, but he's gonna close the
game because he always does. You know, No, he didn't,
he didn't do that, and left the door wide open,
(08:50):
the lights on, and the cash register was wide open,
something that used to have. Now everything's on credit cards.
They used to have these things called cash registers where
people kept money back when used cash back in the day.
And let's also not look past the fact that Jalen
Williams came back to the lineup here and he was
in the lineup for okay see, and it was really blah,
(09:12):
another twenty five point or twenty five shot game. He
took twenty five shots to get twenty six points. And
that was the theme of the night for Oklahoma City.
And they still went to double overtime. And all that.
The Spurs were without Deer and Fox and the Thunder
were rested, they were healthy, they were ready to go
(09:34):
and who goofed, I've got to know. And they screwed
that up and it wasn't a total disaster. Now they
got some extra work to do, all right. Meanwhile, we
continue the theme of the hour here and Victor wembon Yama,
did you get your knee pads? I did not. I
everyone in the media. They've all got their Wemby knee
(09:55):
pads on. They're ready to go. And yeah, now he said. Afterwards,
he said that he was for sure motivated by SGA
getting the MVP instead of him. Adam Silver handed out
the award. He did not announce what part of the
cosmos he's from, Adam Silver, but he you think that
Silver and Wemby go to like some kind of UFO
(10:16):
convention and talk about their native planets And I don't
know anyway, So forty one points twenty four rebounds, big
stat line all that we've talked about that that twenty
I think it was like twenty seven foot three point shot.
I've made that back in the day moneyball mallor I
make that shot, No big deal. So anyway, the fawning
to me the thing here that stood out. The guy
played great. The fawning is the issue here for me,
(10:39):
and I know it's a me problem. I realize that
I just want to rant and rave. So the question here,
this was a great performance by one of the the
next beacon of the NBA. We all agree on that,
all right, every man, woman and chalking, and if we're
all nodding, our headges. All right, very good. So question though,
is thumbs up or thumbs down? Is this performance by
(11:02):
the Spurs victor ween Banyama one that will stand the
test of time? That meaning five ten years from now.
Do you remember that night in Oklahoma when when Banyama
did all that stuff? Are we gonna look back at
that and I'm going thumbs down on this? All right,
(11:23):
I'm going thumbs out again. It was great and all that.
I'm just going thumbs down. Why it was game one
of the Western Conference Finals. This is not he didn't
find the Lost City of Babylon. It was game one, okay,
not game seven. We don't need historians chiseling this into marble.
(11:43):
Let's hold off on that. There are brighter lights, bigger
stages ahead from when Banyama. And now that said, if
getting snubbed for the MVP was the reason that when
Banyama went out and put up that stadline, then Adam
Silver should just follow the Spurs around and hand out
runner up MVP plaques to win by Yama before every game,
(12:07):
and the Spurs will never lose again, and he'll have
forty and twenty five and have Wilt Chamberlain like numbers.
And that's that it was a great game. Sure, I
don't think, and maybe I'm wrong. I know the NBC
broadcast quality was not that great, so it's possible that
he did actually split the atom when the feed was
lost by NBC, or it's I think at halftime he
(12:28):
cured hiccups, So that was a pretty big Did that
get announced that when ba Yama cured hiccups at half? No,
it did not get announced. Interesting all right, So the
NBA media did not actually cover the game. I determined
based on the feedback of my colleagues in the NBA media.
The mainstream media did not cover the game. They actually
wrote a love letter. It was very sweet of them.
These people have jobs at Hallmark down the line. They
(12:50):
wrote a love level, a love letter, and they sprintched it.
They put a little sprits of cologne, and then several
of the TV people. I was shocked by this. They
they actually gave Wemby a Swedish massage and some essential
oils after the game. I was very sweet of them.
They didn't have to do that. That was very sweet
of the NBA media. My god, the brown Nosing Brigade,
(13:14):
oh man, they love it right. Put them see probably women's.
You can't really put him on a pedestal. He's so
tall you don't need to put him on a pedestal.
But somebody goes to Costco and buy a I want
to buy a palette sized thing of towels because there's
a lot of brown nosing going on in the NBA
media and I will not be part of it. The
Parisian Prodigy is twenty two. He was born four years
(13:38):
after I started here at Fox Sports Radio, and I
think there's some leftovers in my refrigerator that are older
than when by name. It was a great performance. The
coronation parade can wait for me. Yeah, the praise is
so syrupy. I believe I need to check my insulin
levels at this point. It was it was really over
the top. Now the last word the other thing, and
(14:01):
this is really therapeutic for me, and you happen to
be listening to my individual therapy session. The other thing
I took away from San Antonio and Oklahoma City in
the post game was not only the amount of a
tongue bath that when by Yama got. In addition to that, though,
it was you would think the players in this game
(14:23):
were literally on their deathbed because it went to double overtime.
Oh my god, Wemby played forty eight minutes over the
total game, and I believe it was SGA that went
fifty one minutes. Oh my god, are we passing out
purple hearts to these guys? Is that what we're doing?
The question is how big a deal? How big a
(14:45):
deal is the volume of minutes required to play for
guys like Wemby, SGA and others in this double overtime
thriller from Oklahoma City. So look the teams, it's gonna
blow your mind. So they played fifty eight total minutes
because each overtime's five minutes, so it's fifty eight total minutes,
(15:07):
forty eight regulation, ten total overtime, two five minute periods.
So they didn't play fifty eight days. They played fifty
eight minutes. A shocking And are we really pretending that
fifty eight minutes of basketball is some kind of humanitarian crisis?
Do we need to call the federal government in here?
(15:28):
Do we need to get FEMA involved in this, the
National Guard, call somebody in here and help out Oklahoma City.
And I'm telling you, it's like it's all my goodness
and the game lasted. The actual in real time it
was like three hours three hours. So my computer like
brain tells me that if the game lasted in real
(15:49):
time three hours from when they started to when it ended,
that would mean they had, if I'm correct, here, one
hundred and twenty two minutes roughly of not playing basketball
something like that, and fifty eight minutes where they play.
And in those fifty eight minutes there were a lot
of timeouts, TV timeouts, foul shooting, all that stuff. So, okay,
I don't think this was a death sentence. It might
(16:10):
have been, I don't think it was. It was a
cardio session with cameras TV cameras, and pretty confident that
Wemby and SGA. We did not send them to some
kind of North Korean labor camp outside Pyongyang. We didn't
do that. They weren't making bigger rocks into smaller rocks.
(16:32):
That did not happen. I think at one point SGA
did have to drag a boulder up a mountain. I
might have been imagining that for the state, but last
I checked out. I mean, maybe I'm wrong on this,
but I think they're all most of these almost all
of them are in their twenties. A lot of them
are in their early twenties. They're well paid. They're not
long shortman, they're not coal miners. They're just basketball players.
(16:56):
They play three or three games a week. If they
play four, they bitch about it. If they play five,
they should retire. They are so worn out. So it's
a very difficult job. So feel bad for them having
to play a double overtime game in the playoffs. And
I don't think they're they're sleeping in the airport terminal.
I don't think that's going on. I don't believe they're
(17:17):
eating those white Castle vending machine burgers. I don't think
that's happening. And I think what's going to happen here
is these guys will be escorted to cryo chambers. They
will be handed a trip to a steam room with
eucalyptus steam to help them recover. They'll have that and
their personal chefs will cook up a nice feast, so
(17:39):
to quote Aaron Rodgers, Relax. Relax. Both teams played the
same amount of minutes. I don't think anyone's going to die.
Everything will be okay, and it's I think it's supposed
to be hard, at least see this is the problem.
I'm you know, I guess I'm older because I always
was told that it's supposed to be hard. That's why
they call it the playoffs nowadays, two oh byyd you losers.
(18:04):
So we get back to our Russel football talk. The
basketball was compelling for about ten minutes last hour. We
had to get a conversation with Van the one leg
of Bama man in Texas, Jack, and there were some
other guys on hold that we wanted to talk to,
but they hung up. So we'll move on and our
lead this hour from the Bayou. We go to the
Bayou and they said, well, there's no NFL news, it's
(18:24):
mid May. What are you talking about. Well, yes there is. Yes,
there is a team that in my lifetime has only
had about three or four good years and the rest
of the time they've been an absolute embarrassment. That would
be the football team that plays in Nollins. So the
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, who is a tenured professor,
(18:45):
he has lifetime employment there in New Orleans. So Mickey
Loomis said that the football team there, the Saints are
quote trying to see how running back Alvin Kamara will
fit on the roster in twenty two twenty six. If
you heard this or not, maybe not so Loomis speaking
to the Beat writers, what a great job that must be.
(19:05):
Decline to commit on whether or not to keep Alvin
Kamara on the roster for the upcoming season. It would
appear there is no room for Kamarrow, who's in his
early thirties year and he will turn thirty one in July.
He is expected to lose most of his status on
the New Orleans depth chart behind the big pickup this offseason,
(19:29):
Travis a Chan formerly ETN Travis a Chan and the Saints.
But wait, there's more. The Saints are reportedly interested in
quote adjusting quos quote. The salary cap number for Alvin
Kamarrow is gonna make like ten million dollars if they
(19:49):
do decide to keep him. So that is a good
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Can you
decode the message that the GM Mickey Loomis is sending
when he says they are trying to see about running
back Alvin Kamara and his future in New Orleans. So
(20:11):
my observations, I've got iPhone, avocados and court summons, and
we will combine all of these together, and we are
going to go round and round and round and round
and round and round. The merry go round, all right,
So number wa number Mickey Loomis gave the oldest answer
(20:34):
in the NFL Book of Answers, the hesitation answer. If
you look at your handbook and you're you're smart, you
pay attention to this stuff, the hesitation answer. And when
a general manager pauses before talking about a star player,
the decision has already been made. It is set in stone,
(20:57):
it's already been made. Mickey Loomis saying, we're trying to
see how he fits. Is some hr badunkadunk is what
it is here, uh for he doesn't fit on the team.
We've already moved on. We're just waiting and seeing if
someone's dumb enough to make a trade to acquire him.
It's classic corporate America bullcrap meeting the NFL world. There,
(21:21):
you're still part of our family. Once a saint, always
a saint, all that stuff. And of course they've already
brought in your replacement. They've trained your replacement, and he's
sitting at your desk. So good luck on that. The
Saints bringing in Travis a chant. He's there, and that's
the replacement who's now entered the chat. He's the guy
(21:43):
that's gonna be the featured running back for the New
Orleans football team. And Kamara at this point, he's like
the the iPhone you used to have, you know, the
old iPhone. You have that junk drawer, and you toss
it in the junk drawer just in case, just in case.
I'm never gonna use that again, but just in case
maybe I'll need it for something. Is it useful? What's
(22:05):
your definition of useful? Is Alvin Kamara still respected? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Why not? However, nobody in New Orleans is saying, well,
we got to have this guy's our future back. We're
not gonna build. We're not building around this guy. That's
not going to happen. And so now he prepares for
the portal, the NFL transfer portal. Mickey Loomis is the
(22:27):
ride operator, and so he's at the controls there, the
Saints general manager, and he's waving bye bye, as Dick
and Dayton would say, well, Alvin Kamara is still checking
the lap bar to make sure that he does not
get ejected from the roller coaster that is the transfer portal.
So he is a luxury car, Alvin Kamara, He's got
about a ninety thousand miles on the odometer, a lot
(22:51):
of miles. They're still smooth, still looks pretty good on
the outside. The dealership, though, has already ordered next year's
model and they're clearing out the show and you're on
the showroom floor. So it's a bit of a problem
now keeping the beat going here, keeping the drum beat going.
Page two. So the question if the Saints actually do this,
(23:11):
and all indications are they're going to do this, if
they finally pull the ripcord, pull the rip cord on
Alvin Kamara, where does he land? All right? Where does
he land? So? Time to dust off? What every good
talk show host needs a crystal ball, Bennie's crystal ball.
What does Benny's crystal ball say? Says? If the Saints
(23:32):
move off Alvin Kamara, and the crystal ball is never wrong. Uh,
there's only one place that checks every box, every box.
You know what that is the Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado.
You've got his buddy as the coach, Sean Payton, and
you've got a team that believes they are ascending and
(23:56):
would have could have should have gotten to the Super Bowl,
except our quarter got hurt and all that stuff. And
so you've got that set up there in Denver, and
it's it's the obvious answer, head and shoulders above everyone else.
If Alvin Kamara changes teams, the Broncos are the team
that makes the most sense. It's the most obvious answer.
(24:18):
And it's like why even bother saying because so obvious there,
Denver is not a guest, it's a relationship play. You
got Sean Payton who knows Alvin Kamara better than anyone.
It's not what you know, it's who you know. The
key to life, it's who you know. And Kamara knows
the guy who is the guy for the Broncos, who
(24:41):
made him the guy in New Orleans back in the day.
And so the chosen one from many years ago returns
to the coach who helped get him to where he
is in the NFL. Elsewhere you look around the Seattle Seahawks,
I know guys like JJN Renton and Nostredinas don't want
to admit it. The Seahawks, though, got cheap. They didn't
(25:02):
want to bring back the Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.
He bolted to Canzah City, so Kenneth Walker's out, so
that's not an option. That's an option for kamaraw They
didn't really replace Kenneth Walker with anybody who's any good,
So I guess they're gonna try out to run the
ball there in Seattle this year. And then you've got
Jacksonville because that would just be obvious because the Jags
(25:25):
didn't replace Travis h Chan who's now in New Orleans,
and so he could do the old flipper rou and
then Alvin Kamara can go over there the issue and
in many ways, the Komodo dragon in the room here,
the Komodo Dragon room is that Alvin Kamara. As we said,
he's gonna be thirty one here soon. And running backs.
(25:47):
In my life, running backs have aged with few exceptions,
like avocados, the avocado, the most expensive fruit out there.
The avocado and the avocado, as you know, they're perfect
one day and the very next day you're making guacamoldi
with the avocado. That's what you're doing there. The question
(26:08):
isn't whether Alvin Kamara can still play the question is
how much impact can he have, Like he'll play somewhere
if he wants to in the NFL. He's not gonna
be in New Orleans. How much does he have left?
Is he a part time player at this point? Occasionally
they'll have a couple of breakthrough games. Is that what
you're gonna get? I would say most likely that's the case.
(26:31):
If I was betting with house money, That's how I
would bet. Now, final point, we have the single lamest
quarterback contract snafu in recent history. We take you to
the Valley of Sun. By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals
are not trying to win their tanking. They are tanking
hoping to get the Manning prodigy, the next big thing
(26:55):
in the Manning chain. I'm sure Archie Manning would love
for arch the grandson to go out and play in Arizona. Anyway,
bring this up because we've learned that quarterback Jacoby Brissett,
you know, the guy that's been a stiff for a
decade in the NFL, Jacoby Brissett, he has skipped out
the start of the Cardinals voluntary OTAs he ain't. I
(27:18):
ain't doing that. I'm out now. This comes after it
was reported last week that the team informed Jacoby Brissett
that he would be the QB number one starting quarterback
for the Arizona football team, and his first act was,
I ain't shown up, man. I know it's voluntary. I
(27:38):
ain't shown up, though, and so you'd assume that he's
it's somewhat valuable. What do I know for the starting
quarterback to be there if you're trying to win games?
Of course they're not. Per Set is thirty three years old,
and he is staying away from the team facility out
of an abundance of caution and an abundance of wanting
more money. You would like a nice pay raise. Companies
(28:00):
still give pay raises out I don't know. I don't
think they do it. Not a lot I know of,
but apparently, like it's in the NFL, they do sometimes.
So the question what stands out to you about Jacoby
Brissette ghosting the Cardinals voluntary? OTAs what stands out to you? So,
first of all, I love the Hutzba with a capital sea.
(28:22):
I truly do love the Hutsba. And I'm fascinated. I'm
not wired this way. I'm fascinated when people in life
are so clueless to where they are that they do
things like this. It fascinates me. It really does. Only
in today's NFL does a thirty three year old garbage
at best bridge quarterback bridge to nowhere by the way,
(28:46):
bridge to nowhere, coming off a season where he started
twelve games and went one and eleven with the Cardinals, decide,
not only am I underpaid, I am going to put
pressure on the team to pay me. More like in
the old days, if you went one to eleven, you'd
be lucky. You just had a job in the NFL
(29:06):
and you didn't have to get a real job. So
Arizona is clearly embracing the suck man are they embracing
the suck? And that is why they picked Jacoby Brissett
in the first place, because we know he's not gonna
be the quarterback all year. That's that's not gonna happen.
And apparently the bar in the desert is so subterranean,
(29:26):
it is so subterranean that yet they're still finding ways
to trip over. It's wild. It is wild crazy. So
the Cardinals, again, just to recap, the Cardinals told Jacoby Brissett,
you are QB one, and he responded with the enthusiasm
of someone who just got a court summons for jury duty.
(29:47):
That was the level of excitement that Jacoby Brissette had
there his first leadership act as the newly minted starter.
Is what it's like, Hey, I'll lead from home. Is
he trying to do this on zoom back like during
the pandemic. I want to be the NFL's first zoom quarterback.
That's what I'm going to do, zoom zoom, just like that.
(30:08):
It's a classic case of leverage delusion, delusion. Leverage delusion.
You don't usually get a massive raise after driving the
team bus into the middle of the lake, right off
the bridge. You don't normally get a massive race. But
what do I know? There's a sound right there that
(30:31):
de Bursett wants. I guess he wants starter money. Okay,
you can ask for it. What exactly is he giving
the team emotional support? Is that what he's giving the
Cardinals airs? If I ran the Cardinals and they're obviously
not trying to win, look at the roster blows. What
they ought to do is they had to have a
raffle among season ticket holders and they'd get about the
(30:54):
same production. It wouldn't be much worse. It wouldn't be
much worse let's have a raffle. How would you like
to be the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals? Why not?
What the hell? So we'll see how this plays out.
But it's again, I am I am jealous that you
can be that ub touse, that Jacobe Prissett not realizing
his place in the football universe and thinking he actually
(31:16):
has some kind of power. It's very impressive. Yeah, really good.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Here we go, Here we go. Here it's Maller. How
about that?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
To the third degree.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Of this basketball one gets grilled.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
The La Rams have tied a record with seven primetime
games this upcoming season. Have been your fandom aside? Do
you think that they are the team that the nation
as a whole wants to see the most? They are
the team kooperloop the television once. They've got the sexy coach.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
They've got the MVP quarterback, they got Puka Nakula. They're
an exciting team and you can ram it all. You
can ram it all night. So TV's the one that
decides who gets these games, and TV wants the Rams,
so that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Next, former Blazers head coached Terry Stotts wants his job back.
His agent has reached out to the team, and Stotts
himself confirmed to a reporter that he would love to
come back to Portland. Then do you think bringing stats
back is a good idea for the Trailblazers.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, by all accounts, I don't know this guy. I
keep reading stories. The owner of the Trailblazers is a tightwad,
and Terry Stotts coached the Trailblazers for a number of years.
He had some success there in Portland, and it's about
the only job he's going to get at this point
at his age. So, like you know, he wants to
be a head coach. Again, that's about the only job
(32:40):
he's qualified for. Is it a good idea? Well, he'll
work cheap, so sure.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Next, Anthony Edwards was asked how much work the team
needs to catch up in the Western Conference and contend Again,
Edwards said, I don't know, man, I think that I
don't think that's a question for me.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Then do you think ant is not long from Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, by all account he's from Georgia. He wears all
the Atlanta Braves stuff and all that if he if
he had it was up to him, he'd be playing
for the Atlanta Hawks. And he doesn't seem like he's
he's really raising a hullaballoo trying to get out of there.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Uh, you gotta think that once Giannis and at To
Koombo goes from Milwaukee to wherever, he's gonna end up.
Like at some point it'll be Aunt Edwards has to
go play for a better team. He's stuck in minute.
You know this, It's the circle of life in the NBA.
These guys after a certain number of years, they demand
that they get traded. At this point, I don't think
anytime soon he's gonna leave. The next couple of years
(33:34):
will be with the Timberwls. How do we go? You passed?
That's the way I fight the game.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We are back at it. I'm told the most important
game of the night. Well, it depends if you're hockey fans.
Were you start with the hockey? Now it's the basketball
and we head to Oklahoma and the side of famously
back in the day the dust Bowl. You know you're
(00:52):
your history. So the much ballyhooed am I supposed to
say that much ballyhood matchup between the upper Crows of
the NBA. This is the real NBA Finals. Whoever wins
this series is gareron teeth of winning a championship outside
of snap crackle pop. So he had the NBA Final four,
(01:14):
but really the final two because everyone's like, well these
are the top two teams. And he got started on
Monday night. There in the Sooner State San Antonio versus
Oklahoma City, round round one of the scheduled seven round
heavyweight matchup, not if you watch the game or not,
despite the best laid plans of mice men and marketing
(01:37):
people and having the teams that, if you go by
the record, say well, if you're a sports fan, you'd
have to watch. I don't get the sense there's a
lot of that. Am I wrong on that? I don't
think I am. These teams, despite their success, do not
really move the needle. But there was round one we
(01:57):
watched so you would not have to. It's our good
mist of the day. Congratulations Victor wem Banyama. He's very
tall and very skinny. Victor Wembanyama had forty one points
and twenty four rebounds. I'm told that's good. Dylan Harper,
the spawn of Hollywood. Harper had twenty four points and
(02:18):
a partridge in a pear tree. And San Antonio with
wem baan Yama and Harper. Now, Harper also had a
playoff a team playoff record for the Spurs seven steels,
which I guess is pretty good. And so San Antonio
outlasting Oklahoma City one twenty two to one fifteen in
double over time. As my old buddy Alex back in
(02:39):
the day, he used to say, double over time. It's
so excaded. So that is the beginning. Isn't an instant classic,
Okay Western Conference Finals, So the jump goes to the Spurs.
Wem Ban Nyama ceiling it up. He had a pair
of dunks in the final minute, one of them leading
to a three point play. Also had a circuit shot
(03:01):
at the end of the first overtime, and so home
court advantage goes over to San Antonio. Of course, you
imagine that Oklahoma City will win a game in Texas.
It's not that difficult. Game two will be Wednesday in
Oklahoma City, so you get the Tuesday off back at
it there, and these Spurs have had the number of
(03:24):
Oklahoma City. If you watched the broadcast, you couldn't really
hear this because the audio was tremendously bad. Someone's losing
their job over there at NBC. My god, you probably
weren't watching. With the audio on the first halfage is
sounded like robots and it just stopped all together. Anyway,
San Antonio is beating the thunder five of the six
(03:45):
meetings this season, which seems lopsided. Oh you're being mean,
mallor well, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question who gets the biggest portion of the
Oklahoma City plate of loser chicken fried steak for SGA's
thunder as the thunder down under do not get it done?
(04:08):
So on this one, I've got timu, costco and eucalyptus,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna play tic tac toe is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna play some tick tactoe.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
We love going in the kitchen as a line cook
and serving up a biggie sized meal for chet Holgren
and mister MVP himself SGS. So they get the biggest
portion of the chicken fried steak. Congratulations. There, What a
dynamic duo these two on this particular night. Again, we
(04:45):
have a nightly talk show to do the dynamic duo
of doodoo on this night, Oklahoma City. If you look
at this game here and he said, well, what the
double overtime? I couldn't have played that poorly. Okay, these
two though, the first true farm to table flop and the
first loss of the playoffs for Oklahoma City, and nobody
(05:08):
got cooked worse than check. So let's start with him.
He gets to wear the Dunce cap. He got the
country fried, and he also got that two sides. I'm
gonna give him two sides on that combo meal, and
they're both humiliations, So a double scoop of humiliation on
the side. Now home Gren, to quote the late great
(05:29):
Brian Wheeler, was bemused, bewildered, and bedeviled the three horsemen
of the Apocalypse for Oklahoma City as they lose this
game here, and it was a classic Southwest airlines I
want to get away situation there for Chet Holmgren. And
you look at home Gren side by side if you're watching,
(05:52):
and for our blind listeners, let me try to describe this.
So you've got Homegren on the right, and then you've
got Wemby on the left, side by side, and to
the untrained eye, home Gren looks like Wemby, except it
it's Wemby ordered off TIMU Like, if you say, can
I let me go on, Tiamo, I want to order
a Wemby. Okay, we'll get your Webby and they send
(06:13):
you home Gren. He's kind of around the same height.
I know he's a couple of inches shorter, but he's
got none of the features. He's got none of the
features there. And Chet in this game was useless for
the most part. In this game, he had eight points
eight rebounds Homegren did completely failing to contain wem Banyama,
(06:35):
who absolutely torched him with forty one points and twenty
four rebounds. You had as about as much impact, even
even didn't watch the game or know anything about the game.
You had about as much impact as Homegren did. And yeah,
Homegrind had one block late in the end of regulation,
but uh, for the most part, it was not much.
(06:58):
Chet was was not really guarding Wemby. Didn't seem like
many people were guarding Wemby here. He is kind of
walking walking him like a a rescue greyhound if you will.
So if you do the side by side, and I
know they didn't match up against each other the entire game,
and it's overnight talk radio, So that's a minus thirty
(07:22):
three head to head in terms of Wemby outscoring HomeGrid.
So Homegron was outscored by thirty three points and the
rebounds minus sixteen in favor of Wemby, so that that
doesn't seem good. You know, it shouldn't be mean. That
doesn't seem good. Then you have the MVP now entering
the chat SGA, who wasn't exactly carving up the San
(07:46):
Antonio Spurs. Yeah, he was doing a lot of damage
carving up the thunders. Chances he was a net negative
in this game. The thunder were actually better when he
was not on the court. He played most of the game,
but the actually statistically were better when Jogis Alexander was
not out there. And to the untrained, the casuals, they'll say, well,
(08:09):
mald what are you talking about? You at twenty four
points and twelve and seas and you don't know ball? Okay,
I do know. If it takes you twenty three shots
to get twenty four points, you're not doing your job.
Something is going wrong here, Something is going wrong. I'm
just saying, all right now. The basketball version of going
(08:29):
to the store and there's a there's a table of
stale bread. You pay full price for stale bread. Who play?
Who pays full price for stale bread? You shouldn't play
full price for that? And the other thing is you figure, well,
she didn't play that well, but he's gonna close the
game because he always does. You know, No, he didn't,
he didn't do that, and left the door wide open,
(08:50):
the lights on, and the cash register was wide open,
something that used to have. Now everything's on credit cards.
They used to have these things called cash registers where
people kept money back when used cash back in the day.
And let's also not look past the fact that Jalen
Williams came back to the lineup here and he was
in the lineup for okay see, and it was really blah,
(09:12):
another twenty five point or twenty five shot game. He
took twenty five shots to get twenty six points. And
that was the theme of the night for Oklahoma City.
And they still went to double overtime. And all that.
The Spurs were without Deer and Fox and the Thunder
were rested, they were healthy, they were ready to go
(09:34):
and who goofed, I've got to know. And they screwed
that up and it wasn't a total disaster. Now they
got some extra work to do, all right. Meanwhile, we
continue the theme of the hour here and Victor wembon Yama,
did you get your knee pads? I did not. I
everyone in the media. They've all got their Wemby knee
(09:55):
pads on. They're ready to go. And yeah, now he said. Afterwards,
he said that he was for sure motivated by SGA
getting the MVP instead of him. Adam Silver handed out
the award. He did not announce what part of the
cosmos he's from, Adam Silver, but he you think that
Silver and Wemby go to like some kind of UFO
(10:16):
convention and talk about their native planets And I don't
know anyway, So forty one points twenty four rebounds, big
stat line all that we've talked about that that twenty
I think it was like twenty seven foot three point shot.
I've made that back in the day moneyball mallor I
make that shot, No big deal. So anyway, the fawning
to me the thing here that stood out. The guy
played great. The fawning is the issue here for me,
(10:39):
and I know it's a me problem. I realize that
I just want to rant and rave. So the question here,
this was a great performance by one of the the
next beacon of the NBA. We all agree on that,
all right, every man, woman and chalking, and if we're
all nodding, our headges. All right, very good. So question though,
is thumbs up or thumbs down? Is this performance by
(11:02):
the Spurs victor ween Banyama one that will stand the
test of time? That meaning five ten years from now.
Do you remember that night in Oklahoma when when Banyama
did all that stuff? Are we gonna look back at
that and I'm going thumbs down on this? All right,
(11:23):
I'm going thumbs out again. It was great and all that.
I'm just going thumbs down. Why it was game one
of the Western Conference Finals. This is not he didn't
find the Lost City of Babylon. It was game one, okay,
not game seven. We don't need historians chiseling this into marble.
(11:43):
Let's hold off on that. There are brighter lights, bigger
stages ahead from when Banyama. And now that said, if
getting snubbed for the MVP was the reason that when
Banyama went out and put up that stadline, then Adam
Silver should just follow the Spurs around and hand out
runner up MVP plaques to win by Yama before every game,
(12:07):
and the Spurs will never lose again, and he'll have
forty and twenty five and have Wilt Chamberlain like numbers.
And that's that it was a great game. Sure, I
don't think, and maybe I'm wrong. I know the NBC
broadcast quality was not that great, so it's possible that
he did actually split the atom when the feed was
lost by NBC, or it's I think at halftime he
(12:28):
cured hiccups, So that was a pretty big Did that
get announced that when ba Yama cured hiccups at half? No,
it did not get announced. Interesting all right, So the
NBA media did not actually cover the game. I determined
based on the feedback of my colleagues in the NBA media.
The mainstream media did not cover the game. They actually
wrote a love letter. It was very sweet of them.
These people have jobs at Hallmark down the line. They
(12:50):
wrote a love level, a love letter, and they sprintched it.
They put a little sprits of cologne, and then several
of the TV people. I was shocked by this. They
they actually gave Wemby a Swedish massage and some essential
oils after the game. I was very sweet of them.
They didn't have to do that. That was very sweet
of the NBA media. My god, the brown Nosing Brigade,
(13:14):
oh man, they love it right. Put them see probably women's.
You can't really put him on a pedestal. He's so
tall you don't need to put him on a pedestal.
But somebody goes to Costco and buy a I want
to buy a palette sized thing of towels because there's
a lot of brown nosing going on in the NBA
media and I will not be part of it. The
Parisian Prodigy is twenty two. He was born four years
(13:38):
after I started here at Fox Sports Radio, and I
think there's some leftovers in my refrigerator that are older
than when by name. It was a great performance. The
coronation parade can wait for me. Yeah, the praise is
so syrupy. I believe I need to check my insulin
levels at this point. It was it was really over
the top. Now the last word the other thing, and
(14:01):
this is really therapeutic for me, and you happen to
be listening to my individual therapy session. The other thing
I took away from San Antonio and Oklahoma City in
the post game was not only the amount of a
tongue bath that when by Yama got. In addition to that, though,
it was you would think the players in this game
(14:23):
were literally on their deathbed because it went to double overtime.
Oh my god, Wemby played forty eight minutes over the
total game, and I believe it was SGA that went
fifty one minutes. Oh my god, are we passing out
purple hearts to these guys? Is that what we're doing?
The question is how big a deal? How big a
(14:45):
deal is the volume of minutes required to play for
guys like Wemby, SGA and others in this double overtime
thriller from Oklahoma City. So look the teams, it's gonna
blow your mind. So they played fifty eight total minutes
because each overtime's five minutes, so it's fifty eight total minutes,
(15:07):
forty eight regulation, ten total overtime, two five minute periods.
So they didn't play fifty eight days. They played fifty
eight minutes. A shocking And are we really pretending that
fifty eight minutes of basketball is some kind of humanitarian crisis?
Do we need to call the federal government in here?
(15:28):
Do we need to get FEMA involved in this, the
National Guard, call somebody in here and help out Oklahoma City.
And I'm telling you, it's like it's all my goodness
and the game lasted. The actual in real time it
was like three hours three hours. So my computer like
brain tells me that if the game lasted in real
(15:49):
time three hours from when they started to when it ended,
that would mean they had, if I'm correct, here, one
hundred and twenty two minutes roughly of not playing basketball
something like that, and fifty eight minutes where they play.
And in those fifty eight minutes there were a lot
of timeouts, TV timeouts, foul shooting, all that stuff. So, okay,
I don't think this was a death sentence. It might
(16:10):
have been, I don't think it was. It was a
cardio session with cameras TV cameras, and pretty confident that
Wemby and SGA. We did not send them to some
kind of North Korean labor camp outside Pyongyang. We didn't
do that. They weren't making bigger rocks into smaller rocks.
(16:32):
That did not happen. I think at one point SGA
did have to drag a boulder up a mountain. I
might have been imagining that for the state, but last
I checked out. I mean, maybe I'm wrong on this,
but I think they're all most of these almost all
of them are in their twenties. A lot of them
are in their early twenties. They're well paid. They're not
long shortman, they're not coal miners. They're just basketball players.
(16:56):
They play three or three games a week. If they
play four, they bitch about it. If they play five,
they should retire. They are so worn out. So it's
a very difficult job. So feel bad for them having
to play a double overtime game in the playoffs. And
I don't think they're they're sleeping in the airport terminal.
I don't think that's going on. I don't believe they're
(17:17):
eating those white Castle vending machine burgers. I don't think
that's happening. And I think what's going to happen here
is these guys will be escorted to cryo chambers. They
will be handed a trip to a steam room with
eucalyptus steam to help them recover. They'll have that and
their personal chefs will cook up a nice feast, so
(17:39):
to quote Aaron Rodgers, Relax. Relax. Both teams played the
same amount of minutes. I don't think anyone's going to die.
Everything will be okay, and it's I think it's supposed
to be hard, at least see this is the problem.
I'm you know, I guess I'm older because I always
was told that it's supposed to be hard. That's why
they call it the playoffs nowadays, two oh byyd you losers.
(18:04):
So we get back to our Russel football talk. The
basketball was compelling for about ten minutes last hour. We
had to get a conversation with Van the one leg
of Bama man in Texas, Jack, and there were some
other guys on hold that we wanted to talk to,
but they hung up. So we'll move on and our
lead this hour from the Bayou. We go to the
Bayou and they said, well, there's no NFL news, it's
(18:24):
mid May. What are you talking about. Well, yes there is. Yes,
there is a team that in my lifetime has only
had about three or four good years and the rest
of the time they've been an absolute embarrassment. That would
be the football team that plays in Nollins. So the
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, who is a tenured professor,
(18:45):
he has lifetime employment there in New Orleans. So Mickey
Loomis said that the football team there, the Saints are
quote trying to see how running back Alvin Kamara will
fit on the roster in twenty two twenty six. If
you heard this or not, maybe not so Loomis speaking
to the Beat writers, what a great job that must be.
(19:05):
Decline to commit on whether or not to keep Alvin
Kamara on the roster for the upcoming season. It would
appear there is no room for Kamarrow, who's in his
early thirties year and he will turn thirty one in July.
He is expected to lose most of his status on
the New Orleans depth chart behind the big pickup this offseason,
(19:29):
Travis a Chan formerly ETN Travis a Chan and the Saints.
But wait, there's more. The Saints are reportedly interested in
quote adjusting quos quote. The salary cap number for Alvin
Kamarrow is gonna make like ten million dollars if they
(19:49):
do decide to keep him. So that is a good
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Can you
decode the message that the GM Mickey Loomis is sending
when he says they are trying to see about running
back Alvin Kamara and his future in New Orleans. So
(20:11):
my observations, I've got iPhone, avocados and court summons, and
we will combine all of these together, and we are
going to go round and round and round and round
and round and round. The merry go round, all right,
So number wa number Mickey Loomis gave the oldest answer
(20:34):
in the NFL Book of Answers, the hesitation answer. If
you look at your handbook and you're you're smart, you
pay attention to this stuff, the hesitation answer. And when
a general manager pauses before talking about a star player,
the decision has already been made. It is set in stone,
(20:57):
it's already been made. Mickey Loomis saying, we're trying to
see how he fits. Is some hr badunkadunk is what
it is here, uh for he doesn't fit on the team.
We've already moved on. We're just waiting and seeing if
someone's dumb enough to make a trade to acquire him.
It's classic corporate America bullcrap meeting the NFL world. There,
(21:21):
you're still part of our family. Once a saint, always
a saint, all that stuff. And of course they've already
brought in your replacement. They've trained your replacement, and he's
sitting at your desk. So good luck on that. The
Saints bringing in Travis a chant. He's there, and that's
the replacement who's now entered the chat. He's the guy
(21:43):
that's gonna be the featured running back for the New
Orleans football team. And Kamara at this point, he's like
the the iPhone you used to have, you know, the
old iPhone. You have that junk drawer, and you toss
it in the junk drawer just in case, just in case.
I'm never gonna use that again, but just in case
maybe I'll need it for something. Is it useful? What's
(22:05):
your definition of useful? Is Alvin Kamara still respected? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Why not? However, nobody in New Orleans is saying, well,
we got to have this guy's our future back. We're
not gonna build. We're not building around this guy. That's
not going to happen. And so now he prepares for
the portal, the NFL transfer portal. Mickey Loomis is the
(22:27):
ride operator, and so he's at the controls there, the
Saints general manager, and he's waving bye bye, as Dick
and Dayton would say, well, Alvin Kamara is still checking
the lap bar to make sure that he does not
get ejected from the roller coaster that is the transfer portal.
So he is a luxury car, Alvin Kamara, He's got
about a ninety thousand miles on the odometer, a lot
(22:51):
of miles. They're still smooth, still looks pretty good on
the outside. The dealership, though, has already ordered next year's
model and they're clearing out the show and you're on
the showroom floor. So it's a bit of a problem
now keeping the beat going here, keeping the drum beat going.
Page two. So the question if the Saints actually do this,
(23:11):
and all indications are they're going to do this, if
they finally pull the ripcord, pull the rip cord on
Alvin Kamara, where does he land? All right? Where does
he land? So? Time to dust off? What every good
talk show host needs a crystal ball, Bennie's crystal ball.
What does Benny's crystal ball say? Says? If the Saints
(23:32):
move off Alvin Kamara, and the crystal ball is never wrong. Uh,
there's only one place that checks every box, every box.
You know what that is the Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado.
You've got his buddy as the coach, Sean Payton, and
you've got a team that believes they are ascending and
(23:56):
would have could have should have gotten to the Super Bowl,
except our quarter got hurt and all that stuff. And
so you've got that set up there in Denver, and
it's it's the obvious answer, head and shoulders above everyone else.
If Alvin Kamara changes teams, the Broncos are the team
that makes the most sense. It's the most obvious answer.
(24:18):
And it's like why even bother saying because so obvious there,
Denver is not a guest, it's a relationship play. You
got Sean Payton who knows Alvin Kamara better than anyone.
It's not what you know, it's who you know. The
key to life, it's who you know. And Kamara knows
the guy who is the guy for the Broncos, who
(24:41):
made him the guy in New Orleans back in the day.
And so the chosen one from many years ago returns
to the coach who helped get him to where he
is in the NFL. Elsewhere you look around the Seattle Seahawks,
I know guys like JJN Renton and Nostredinas don't want
to admit it. The Seahawks, though, got cheap. They didn't
(25:02):
want to bring back the Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.
He bolted to Canzah City, so Kenneth Walker's out, so
that's not an option. That's an option for kamaraw They
didn't really replace Kenneth Walker with anybody who's any good,
So I guess they're gonna try out to run the
ball there in Seattle this year. And then you've got
Jacksonville because that would just be obvious because the Jags
(25:25):
didn't replace Travis h Chan who's now in New Orleans,
and so he could do the old flipper rou and
then Alvin Kamara can go over there the issue and
in many ways, the Komodo dragon in the room here,
the Komodo Dragon room is that Alvin Kamara. As we said,
he's gonna be thirty one here soon. And running backs.
(25:47):
In my life, running backs have aged with few exceptions,
like avocados, the avocado, the most expensive fruit out there.
The avocado and the avocado, as you know, they're perfect
one day and the very next day you're making guacamoldi
with the avocado. That's what you're doing there. The question
(26:08):
isn't whether Alvin Kamara can still play the question is
how much impact can he have, Like he'll play somewhere
if he wants to in the NFL. He's not gonna
be in New Orleans. How much does he have left?
Is he a part time player at this point? Occasionally
they'll have a couple of breakthrough games. Is that what
you're gonna get? I would say most likely that's the case.
(26:31):
If I was betting with house money, That's how I
would bet. Now, final point, we have the single lamest
quarterback contract snafu in recent history. We take you to
the Valley of Sun. By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals
are not trying to win their tanking. They are tanking
hoping to get the Manning prodigy, the next big thing
(26:55):
in the Manning chain. I'm sure Archie Manning would love
for arch the grandson to go out and play in Arizona. Anyway,
bring this up because we've learned that quarterback Jacoby Brissett,
you know, the guy that's been a stiff for a
decade in the NFL, Jacoby Brissett, he has skipped out
the start of the Cardinals voluntary OTAs he ain't. I
(27:18):
ain't doing that. I'm out now. This comes after it
was reported last week that the team informed Jacoby Brissett
that he would be the QB number one starting quarterback
for the Arizona football team, and his first act was,
I ain't shown up, man. I know it's voluntary. I
(27:38):
ain't shown up, though, and so you'd assume that he's
it's somewhat valuable. What do I know for the starting
quarterback to be there if you're trying to win games?
Of course they're not. Per Set is thirty three years old,
and he is staying away from the team facility out
of an abundance of caution and an abundance of wanting
more money. You would like a nice pay raise. Companies
(28:00):
still give pay raises out I don't know. I don't
think they do it. Not a lot I know of,
but apparently, like it's in the NFL, they do sometimes.
So the question what stands out to you about Jacoby
Brissette ghosting the Cardinals voluntary? OTAs what stands out to you? So,
first of all, I love the Hutzba with a capital sea.
(28:22):
I truly do love the Hutsba. And I'm fascinated. I'm
not wired this way. I'm fascinated when people in life
are so clueless to where they are that they do
things like this. It fascinates me. It really does. Only
in today's NFL does a thirty three year old garbage
at best bridge quarterback bridge to nowhere by the way,
(28:46):
bridge to nowhere, coming off a season where he started
twelve games and went one and eleven with the Cardinals, decide,
not only am I underpaid, I am going to put
pressure on the team to pay me. More like in
the old days, if you went one to eleven, you'd
be lucky. You just had a job in the NFL
(29:06):
and you didn't have to get a real job. So
Arizona is clearly embracing the suck man are they embracing
the suck? And that is why they picked Jacoby Brissett
in the first place, because we know he's not gonna
be the quarterback all year. That's that's not gonna happen.
And apparently the bar in the desert is so subterranean,
(29:26):
it is so subterranean that yet they're still finding ways
to trip over. It's wild. It is wild crazy. So
the Cardinals, again, just to recap, the Cardinals told Jacoby Brissett,
you are QB one, and he responded with the enthusiasm
of someone who just got a court summons for jury duty.
(29:47):
That was the level of excitement that Jacoby Brissette had
there his first leadership act as the newly minted starter.
Is what it's like, Hey, I'll lead from home. Is
he trying to do this on zoom back like during
the pandemic. I want to be the NFL's first zoom quarterback.
That's what I'm going to do, zoom zoom, just like that.
(30:08):
It's a classic case of leverage delusion, delusion. Leverage delusion.
You don't usually get a massive raise after driving the
team bus into the middle of the lake, right off
the bridge. You don't normally get a massive race. But
what do I know? There's a sound right there that
(30:31):
de Bursett wants. I guess he wants starter money. Okay,
you can ask for it. What exactly is he giving
the team emotional support? Is that what he's giving the
Cardinals airs? If I ran the Cardinals and they're obviously
not trying to win, look at the roster blows. What
they ought to do is they had to have a
raffle among season ticket holders and they'd get about the
(30:54):
same production. It wouldn't be much worse. It wouldn't be
much worse let's have a raffle. How would you like
to be the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals? Why not?
What the hell? So we'll see how this plays out.
But it's again, I am I am jealous that you
can be that ub touse, that Jacobe Prissett not realizing
his place in the football universe and thinking he actually
(31:16):
has some kind of power. It's very impressive. Yeah, really good.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Here we go, Here we go. Here it's Maller. How
about that?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
To the third degree.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Of this basketball one gets grilled.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
The La Rams have tied a record with seven primetime
games this upcoming season. Have been your fandom aside? Do
you think that they are the team that the nation
as a whole wants to see the most? They are
the team kooperloop the television once. They've got the sexy coach.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
They've got the MVP quarterback, they got Puka Nakula. They're
an exciting team and you can ram it all. You
can ram it all night. So TV's the one that
decides who gets these games, and TV wants the Rams,
so that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Next, former Blazers head coached Terry Stotts wants his job back.
His agent has reached out to the team, and Stotts
himself confirmed to a reporter that he would love to
come back to Portland. Then do you think bringing stats
back is a good idea for the Trailblazers.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, by all accounts, I don't know this guy. I
keep reading stories. The owner of the Trailblazers is a tightwad,
and Terry Stotts coached the Trailblazers for a number of years.
He had some success there in Portland, and it's about
the only job he's going to get at this point
at his age. So, like you know, he wants to
be a head coach. Again, that's about the only job
(32:40):
he's qualified for. Is it a good idea? Well, he'll
work cheap, so sure.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Next, Anthony Edwards was asked how much work the team
needs to catch up in the Western Conference and contend Again,
Edwards said, I don't know, man, I think that I
don't think that's a question for me.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Then do you think ant is not long from Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, by all account he's from Georgia. He wears all
the Atlanta Braves stuff and all that if he if
he had it was up to him, he'd be playing
for the Atlanta Hawks. And he doesn't seem like he's
he's really raising a hullaballoo trying to get out of there.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Uh, you gotta think that once Giannis and at To
Koombo goes from Milwaukee to wherever, he's gonna end up.
Like at some point it'll be Aunt Edwards has to
go play for a better team. He's stuck in minute.
You know this, It's the circle of life in the NBA.
These guys after a certain number of years, they demand
that they get traded. At this point, I don't think
anytime soon he's gonna leave. The next couple of years
(33:34):
will be with the Timberwls. How do we go? You passed?
That's the way I fight the game.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
