thumbs up or thumbs down on the Ben mal Show podcast.
(00:26):
In our one on the Colts picking up Daniel Jones
over over Alec Pearce, they had to pick between those two. Also,
how believable are the whispers that the Vikings are going
to make and offer to Daniel Jones that he's back
to Minnesota maybe played there very briefly as a backup with.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
The Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And who's going to be bidding for the pending indie
free agent wide receiver. Alec Pearce will take a look
at that as well. It's all coming your way right
now here. It is settle in for our number one,
(01:16):
cheap it up with the Jones's welcome. In the beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show, we are

Speaker 1 (03:08):
So a pretty decent day here.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Sometimes we're coming in here and we're polishing turds, not
that we're not polishing turds all the time, but there's
more more turds to polish on this day as opposed
to some other days. So our lead story is from Indianapolis,
where Indiana Jones has been tagged. You can't tag Indiana Jones.
Why would you tag Indiana Jones? Come on, well, the
(03:33):
Colts if you didn't hear, and maybe not, maybe you
missed it. Here is the deadline day to tag players,
and a few players around the NFL got tagged. The
most interesting one we start with that, and that is
Daniel Jones, who was given what they say is a
rarely used, the rarely used transition tag. So he got
that tag.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You're it. There you go. So the Colts are gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Give Daniel Jones thirty seven point eight million. Thirty seven
point eight million, that's the buy now rate for Daniel Jones.
There in instead of the franchise tag. Which would have
paid him like an extra six million dollars on top
of that. And so that opens up the possibility since
(04:18):
it was not the franchise tag instead it was the
transition tag. It's all just red tape, bull crap bureaucracy,
but it means that there is there's a way could
could Daniel Jones. Could Daniel Jones leave the Colt Yes,
and the compensation would go to Indianapolis. So Jones can
(04:38):
can sign an offer sheet with another team next week
March eleventh. I know you're excited about that. Mark that
on your on your calendar app on your phone, March eleventh.
There the Colts have will have five days, five days
to match or allow him to wild all go off
into the wild blue yonder and get out of.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Here Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Now, as Vim's only used to say, it is interesting
to note that Indy picking up the tag on Daniel
Jones means they decided not not to give any kind
of tag. They could not do two, so they didn't
give one to Alec Pierce, the wide receiver who they're
(05:20):
trying to sign it to a contract. So that is
a good jumping out point. Let us discuss the question
for the class, and you're part of the class. Thumbs
up or thumbs down on the Colts, picking Daniel Jones over.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Alec Pierce, that was the choice.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So I've got Spaghettio's antibiotics and one eight hundred flowers,
and we will combine all of these things together. We're
gonna make some Jimmy chungis is what we're gonna make.
Jimmy chumk all right, So ah, the thumbs up thumbs down,
I'm going thumbs down, and I'll go another thumbs down
and then if I can get more thumbs down, I'll
(06:00):
get more. But Capitol d down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down. To me, this is football malpractice. It
is you should not be doing this.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What are you thinking? Seriously, what do you think? Indy?
Now I understand the backstory. We talked about it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Indy traded a gaggle of draft picks. They got saucy,
they got sauce gardener from the Jets, and so they
boxed themselves into this awkward situation where they were stuck
between the devil and the deep blue sea. And so
there's this financial broom closet and they felt they were
forced to double.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Down on Daniel Jones, but they were not.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So it's a total panic move when you think about
you look at the resume of Daniel Jones and what
even when he did in Indy, and there's a lot
of people that are selectively telling you that Daniel Jones
was amazing for the Colts. And so again they were
right there, devil on one side, the deep blue sea
(07:01):
on the other, and they chose to toss out the anchor.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, you're not supposed to do that. Now, you're not
gonna hear this.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
A lot of players in the daytime, guys, they're suck ups,
most of them. So the reality is this, Daniel Jones
was on a proven deal in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He didn't prove it. He didn't and so.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Why are you rewarding him with this this thirty seven
point eight million dollar contract. It's for Gayzy, is what
it is, right, And so what exactly did Daniel Jones
prove last year?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Okay, let's go through it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So he proved that as the season went on, he
got exposed right that for a while it was a
smoke and mirror show. And then eventually Daniel Jones turned
into the same stumble bum that we saw with the Giants.
It was the same stumblebum. You know, he's fine for
(07:55):
a few games there at the beginning of the year,
and then the wheels on the bus came off. The
wheels on the bus, they didn't go round and round,
they came off.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They did.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
They did.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And so Jones, you think about his.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Wide angle wins in his career, look at his Pro
Football Reference played thirty two career wins in the NFL
as a starting quarterback seven years, thirty two wins and
then snap, crackle pop as in any and he wasn't
playing well before that, and then four or five games
(08:29):
that were el stinko and then he got hurt and
you're gonna reward him with thirty seven point eight million
because you're afraid he's gonna leave. You should drive him
to the airport and you're afraid he's gonna leave. That's insanity.
It's absolute insanity, is what it is. And he's not
head and shoulder this is the main issue. Like if
there was no one else who was as good as
(08:49):
Daniel Jones would be.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Like, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
He's not head and shoulders above everyone. He's at the
same level you look at who's available, the contemporaries on
the market, the quarterback market. If he did the cola challenge,
let's do the cold of chan. Do the cold chan.
You got to a tongue of Byloa, Kyler Murray, the
Little Fella, the Munchkin, and Daniel Jones. Those are the
(09:14):
three quarterbacks side by side. I call them the spaghetti
O's quarterbacks. And then why do I call them the
Spaghettios because they're overwhelmed, overmatched and overpowered on a regular basis,
thought of O's a lot of o's there, different cans,
same crappy product, same flat soda. So that's the call
to challenge there, and the culture like, no, no, we
(09:36):
have to have our flat soda. We don't want someone
else's flat soda. We love our flat soda. Daniel Jones, baby,
oh my god. Meanwhile, wide receiver Alec Pearce who broke
out all year, unlike Daniel Jones, he did it all year.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
He didn't do it for five games or eight games
and then disappear. He did it the entire year.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He was consistent, he was reliable to put a big
he was legit in his breakout year. And so the Colts.
They could have punted on Daniel Jones. No lost there,
he's not that good and locked up Piers now they're trying,
they say, to lock him up, good luck on that,
more than that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And so instead they say, no, no, we really want
fool's gold. That's what we want. So the Colts they
picked the fools goal. Congratulations all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Meanwhile, staying with the theme of the hour, as I
have just treated Daniel Jones like a pinata, there are
reports bouncing around the echo chamber here that say they wait,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, Minnesota, they don't have
a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
They need a quarterback. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And that the Purple people eaters might make Eke and
Rozo Minnesota vomit in his mouth. And they are said
to be exploring the possibility of going after Vanilla vic
That could be the move right there, Vanilla Bick.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So question, how believable?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
How believable are the whispers that the Vikings are going
to make some kind of offer to try to pry
away Daniel Jones. Not that they would have to pry
away that much, because I'm assuming the Colts they'll come
to their senses here and say, well, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Not going to give them that contract whatever the Vikings offer.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So I give this the very premise that the whispers
are true, that the Vikings are going to make this
run at Daniel Jones. I give this side And the
reason that I give this side eye is we know
that Minnesota has a blank square on the quarterback bingo card.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
They don't have any right.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
They've tried hope, they've tried cosmic intervention, they tried JJ McCarthy,
which apparently he's now outside the bubble of trust. So
he's out. The bubbles burst and that's it. Pop goes
the babble. So what do you do?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, you go shopping on the clearance aisle. And this
is the NFL's version of the rummaging through the dented
can aisle at High V. You're going through all the
dented cans there and all that stuff. But Minnesota they
have the pick.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Of the litter.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's the good news. I'll be Benny Bright, so that
you have to pick of the litter. Congratulations there. Of course,
the picket litter is all the cracked, damaged and warped
quarterbacks as we have laid out here, So you've got
to pick a litter. You're gonna need antibiotics because you're
gonna get cat scratch fever is what you're gonna get.
And as for Daniel Jones, they would have to pay them,
(12:43):
if my math is correct, I'm using Malard math, about
forty million a year on average, a little bit more
than the Vikings thing, paying about forty million dollars a year,
which would be like paying for a thick steak at
Ruth Chris Steakhouse and you're paying that price and you're
getting a microwaved hot pocket. No, I'm not here to
(13:04):
knock the hot pocket. I've had them. Some of them
are good, some of them are horrific. But it's not
the same as a nice steak.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, we're not done. No, you'd also to get Daniel Jones.
You'd have to give the Colts compensation, a lot of compensation.
That would be And again, we just laid out all
these guys who are about to say they've all got
warts and moles and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That would be shrewd dumbness. If you decide on Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Now, if you do the malor math on that the
malarads that Danny Dimes ends up in the Twin Cities.
I'll put that at plus five hundred, which, if you're
not good with math, that implies, based on malor math
a about a fifteen percent chance, about a fifteen percent chance,
which is higher than it should be, higher than it
(13:54):
should be. It should be because the Golden rule is
in play. And the only reason I'm going around fifteen
percent is the Golden rule, which is it's not what
you know, it's who you know. And it is true
that Kevin O'Connell seems to be calling the shots there
in Minnesota. He had Jones in the building for a
cup of coffee and they hung out together for half
(14:17):
a season, so there's a common bond. And to that,
I say, whoopedie, damn do That's what I say. I'm
leaving a fifteen percent chance on that. Now, last word here,
let's circle back. We talked about Alec Pierce, the wide
receiver who was hanging out there in Indian and the
Colts decided that they wanted to tag Daniel Jones and said.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, you know what, we want to keep you up.
But yeah, okay, so we are told the Colts are
again very motivated to get Pierce and his contract done
as we're about a week away now from the start
of NFL free agency. So the question who's going to
be bidding, Who's going to be bidding for the.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Pending free agent wide receiver late of Indianapolis here, Alec Pierce.
So this is one of those stories. I call it
a one eight hundred flowers story. Now why do I
call it that, because this is going to look like
The Bachelor NFL edition of The Bachelor. Imagine if you will,
Alec Pearce standing there in a nice tuxedo and there's
(15:22):
a bunch of teams, now not every team, but a
bunch of teams that are lined up, and they all
went and got their roses and they said, hey, Alex,
and will you accept this franchise tag Rose And then
he'll say yes or no and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
And he would be crazy at this point not to
test the market.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So all you have to do is wait a week
and then you are able to take bids on it
from it. Of course, there's a legal tampering Piers. He's
gonna already know they probably are. Now his agent knows
who wants to pay him or not, but he did
have the breakout season as we talked about Alex Pierce
last year in Indianapolis, and you gotta think his agent's
phone and the text messages and all that will be
(16:06):
blown up like a mom and pop pizza shop on
Super Bowl Sunday, like there'll be a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And it really comes down it, does he want to
stay in Indianapolis? Okay?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Fine, you could stay there, or you could do some
dumpster diving with the Raiders or the Titans. Couple of
crappy teams like that that have money, bad teams with
cap space and no shame. You could say, what about
the Patriots They don't have any receivers there any good
and they got to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Or the Buffalo Bills they don't have.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Any receivers there any good and they got Josh Allen
that they need help there. Meanwhile, Pearce is sitting there
like a guy at auction. Do I hear thirty thirty million,
thirty million? Do I thirty one million, thirty one million
in the back, thirty one million man the brown hatton
back all right? Thirty two million, thirty two million, go once,
going twice, going three times? So thirty two million, someone's
(16:54):
gonna overpay. They always do, they always do.
Speaker 4 (16:57):

when you mentioned Indianapolis, I thought you were going to
talk about your former co worker Doug Gottlieb and how
he turned the Green Bay men's basketball program around and
got their first Horizon League tournament win in like six
or seven years.
Speaker 1 (20:39):

we already read that. Fami says rate monologue. Man. At
this point, the Vikings might just call on blind Scott
(21:05):
to be our quarterback. What's the worst thing that can happen? Well,
I think blind Scott's off his meds this week, so
there's a lot of bad stuff that could happen a
lot of bad stuff that could happen there. I'm just saying,
just by just pointing that out. So let's go to Tom,
who's apparently upset with me. I've offended Tom. I don't
even know who Tom is, but Tom's offend Tom's in Texas?
Speaker 1 (21:24):

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yes, yes, Tom, that's that's the job. Are you are you?
Are you a softie?
Speaker 5 (22:04):

Exactly. I can't give birth, sir, that's true. I can't
do that either. There's a lot of things I can't
do in life. Well, I think the last couple of
years people thought you could give birth, but as a man,
I can't. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Okay, so let me something us Tom.

You're an idiot and you want to say anything about that,
And no you don't, okay, And you called into the show,
so you don't. Really, you're actually putting money on my
plate by getting upset.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You're helping me out. And you're so stupid that you
don't realize that I have the startest man a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:21):

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Lucky Tony, what's going on? Lucky Tony?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Hey man, I'm not trying to plug nothing except Ronnie Legend.
But do you know much about Saint Jude's children research?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Am I an expert on Saint Jude's Children's research? No?
I am not.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Do you know much about it?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All I've heard about Saint Jude's What do you want
me to say?
Speaker 7 (23:49):
Okay, Well, they asked me to do my act for
the kids, so I said, what the crowd? Thanks for
the standing ovation. It must be every day. I haven't
seen anything this said since I looked in my nuts.
And if any of your moms want to dancing bear,
I support Blue and fucking oint.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Okay, thank you? All right, there we go. We're off
to a great There's a full moon which took place.
The moon was beautiful by the way I did. I
went on saw I saw it.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
After the show. I looked at the moon and stared
at the moon. I said that that's interesting, look at
the moon. Jason and Keans City rights and he says
nine out of ten on the Mallard mom can we
get more fanboys to call him? That was fun man.
Everyone always agrees with me. I like that Tom is
a low information fan. We need more of those guys
to call in. Uh. Jason in Kansas City says nine
(24:38):
out of ten. On the Mallard monologue, he says, Indiana
Jones great nickname, average quarterback. However, the Colts don't have
many other options for QB one.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well does it?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It doesn't matter. You go and get somebody else. Daniel
Jones sucks. He sucked his entire career. So what's the problem?
Super market Steve writes in says the NBA. It is
so interesting that on a night when a once in
a generation player in Victor Wembanyama plays, you lead your
show with a monologue about a mid tier NFL receiver's
(25:11):
possible destination. Well, I know, Steve, listening is not easy
for you. But we actually began with Daniel Jones, who
was a top draft pick by the New York Giants
and has able to been able to bamboozle the NFL
to make a tremendous amount of money. That was actually
the lead story. The sidebar was Alec Pierce. See that
(25:33):
was the sidebar there. So I'll explain how that works
if you want, I can show you a ven diagram
on exactly how all of that stuff goes down. And
Spock's Weed writes in from the Oregon Trail. He says,
I'm here sitting like a log, not participating, just listening
(25:54):
except for this post.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
There you go. Let's see here.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Zach says that we got kicked off the satellite feed
for some NASCAR stuff, so he switched over to the
iHeart app well as much power as I wheeled around here, Zach,
I don't I don't control the the programming on the
satellite radio channel on serious ExM. So I don't I
don't control that mark. The full name guy is ranting
(26:21):
and raving. He's a complaining here, fighting inflation for the
great unwashed common folk. Ben Maller ripping on the overpaid,
mediocre at best quarterbacks around the NFL, proving once again
the gnattering naybob of negativity is truly a man of
the people or not.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Ryan in San Diego writes in he says, Hey, Stetson
Bennett the sixth is the answer. Who wants him? Nobody
wants name of the rams want him? Apparently a racer
x right. Sin says, uh oh, Spaghettios just.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Got pulled over.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Need antibiot and give this officers some flowers for giving
me a warning.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And then he says, hello, Lorena, Hi, I haven't heard
from our.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Buddy in Louisiana in a couple of days, and he's
still listening Anthony there in Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm sure he is.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He just hasn't engaged in the program here, hasn't called in.
Nature boy says, you definitely need more callers like offended Tom.
I agree, man, And the old days we used to
fight all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's great.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Guys would call up and of course no knowledge what
they were talking about, but it.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Was fun to engage. It's always fun to fight dumb people.
I want more dumb people to call the show. I
think that would be great. Ferg Dog writes and says,
Mick Cronin's haters this a non sequitor. College Basketball says
Mick Cronin's haters are awfully quiet after another big UCLA
win over Nebraska. The people offended by his stick are
(27:59):
his song of as Sharman, let Mick cook, sign Fergdark, Yeah,
let him cook. So West, being of cooking, Matthew Stafford
went out and cooked. It looked like he was done
in the NFL. Then he put up an MVP season
for the La Rams, getting it done there and the
Rams would have, could have should have gone to the
Super Bowl. The NFL helped Seattle out there that phantom
(28:21):
two point conversion in Week sixteen, which really was the
secret sauce for the Seahawks going on to win the
Super Bowl, getting home field advantage, getting to buy all that,
all because of that bogus play, All because of that
bogus play. Well, I bring this up because Matthew Stafford
is heading into his final season under contract, and the
Rams are attempting.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
To not manipulate, but.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Move some numbers around. Move some numbers, and the salary
cap is not real. I'm a salarycap truther. So you
got to move some stuff around, and you move a
decimal point over here, you put an extra number there.
Stafford's thirty eight. We can return to the Rams said,
he's going to come back and play. Sean mcvayh commenting,
said that the Rams have had quote great dialogue with
(29:09):
Matthew Stafford and that he quote feels confident about working
out a new contract. Hello, do you wonderful?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
There you go? And I don't see how that that goes.
There's really not a lot to do.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's like we're gonna be a one year deal with
some fake years for the salary cap, and then he'll
get paid a lot of money and he'll play one
more year and then that's it.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
He'll he'll go away. And where he goes, I don't know.
Let's go to a newby.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You got a newbie in Little Rock. We say hello
to Ricky in Little Rock. Hello, Ricky, Welcome, what mister
mall Ricky Ricky.
Speaker 1 (29:48):

over and are going to the dreaded day shift from
the overnight.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh good, Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I was worried because normally when somebody calls who's a newbie,
and they say I want to thank you for doing
the show, that they normally follow that by.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Saying, by the way, I'm gone, I'm out here. I'm
going to the daysha. But you're not going to the
day shift.
Speaker 3 (30:31):

do there in Little Rock, Arkansas, Ricky?
Speaker 3 (30:39):

Thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I appreciate that a lot of guys that were construction
are not able to listen because normally you have to
get there very early in the morning and you can't
stay up at night and listen. But you're able to
do it, so that's cool.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Well, damn I insomnia.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
If nobody had insomnia, if they cured insomnia, we'd be
