Speaker 1 (00:00):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our one, ready for some fun.
Happy Friday to you. It's the fifteenth day of May
and the grueling one day work week. Yes, back in
the saddle again. Been away for a while and we're
back at it here. Oh really not a one day situation,
(00:22):
as I will have a podcast all week in. The
Fifth Hour Podcast returns live on tape, fresh episodes all weekend.
There'll be one up later today, a little later than
normal today, but that'll be up later today, also on Saturday,
and we'll go back and look at some of the
fun we had in Boston and Worcester and travel log
(00:42):
and all the weird things that happened on the highways
and byways and airports across North America. You'll hear all
about that on today's show Fifth Hour Podcast and also
on Saturday in the Mailbag on Sunday with a surprise
appearance by a maln militia ledge unless they don't show
up and then they won't be there. But you'll find
(01:02):
out all about that over the weekend. So check out
the Fifth Hour Podcast. A companion of this, The Ben
Mather Show here an hour number one though play the
hits mom, Man, where are you at on the hoop
law around the NFL's annual schedule release day? Give me
your message to the fans grumbling about having a tough
schedule in the NFL. Also, what's the biggest thing we
(01:24):
actually do take away and put some value in around
the NFL schedule. There's one thing that stands out like
a thumb that's been hit by a hammer.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We'll talk about that and more right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It is settle in for our number one. Well, you
gotta save the date. That's what they say, you have
to save the date. It's all about that, well dumb.
(01:55):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show,
we are in the air everywhere, back in the saddle
again as we crank up the boombox, and we know
that life has a lot of surface noise, and much
of it is overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Coast to coast, border the border in beyond it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
On the vast and spectacularly powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live the drive as we go into overdrive guaranteed Human.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I am told by the company that I work for,
from the.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
World famous Fox Sports Radio studios were legends like Jerry
in Rhode Island, Blind Scott and Andre and the CommonWell.
We had a murderers row at these Mallard meet and
Greece we did in the Boston area. They all showed
up and showed out, and so many others Danny DaVita.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But what a great night. They all agree, every one
of them I talked to.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They all agreed that this hour is possible part by
our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years, ty
Iraq has been helping customers like alf. I met him
as well. Alf the ilion O Pier is a real
person unless he's not. Ferg Dog never met him and
Mallard prop gu I met him to the only one
missing his Ferg Dog. But I've met him all and
now everyone else, and they all tell me that the
(03:20):
tire Iraq is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They helped you out find the right tires for how,
what and where.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
dot com. The way tire buying should be all right,
And then it was it was also I think I'm
trying to remember who exactly it was it told me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
They said, hey, Wee Bowl, you know it's time to

(04:10):
great fun we had at the Mallard meet and greets.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It actually turned out to be three in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's only supposed to be two, which I thought was
way too much and would have been way too much,
and then we did a third one on top of it.
We're gonna tell some stories throughout the night and I'll
save a lot of it for the fifth hour podcast.
It'll be up sometime later on Friday, probably a little
later than normal because of the schedule that is rather absurd,
but that set our lead this hour. Don't bury the lead,
(04:34):
my man, heart, We're not gonna bury the lead. So
our lead this hour from the schedule, because there's nothing
better than when you have a talk show than talking
about a schedule. My god, It is something that has
happened while I have been behind the microphones at the
bully pulpit at Fox Sports Radio. This thing just popped
off out of thin air, and it's now a yearly tradition,
(04:56):
like the Swallows returning to Capistrano or punk Satani Phil.
Will he see his shadow? It's the NFL's schedule release day.
Did you get swept up in the excitement? Were you
feeling a little tingly because of the schedule being announced? No, well,
the NFL is one hundred and seventh season, we are
told is going to be played and not until the
(05:20):
end of the year. But the league's annual prime time
kickoff game was announced. The reigning champions, I know. No
Stradinas had his pants around his ankles. He was all
excited about this, and JJ and Ritten and all them.
But the champion Seahawks thanks to that generous officiating. Let's
just give Seattle two points they didn't get anyway, these
(05:40):
move on. I'll move on, I promise, just like I've
moved on from the cheating as one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes. Anyway, the Seahawks will host the Patriots,
I'm sure. Diana Rossini will be watching this game, and
that's at Lumen Field there in downtown Seattle, the stadium
I was barred from years ago. That'll be on September night.
That's a Wednesday on NBC. It is a rematch I
(06:03):
am told of the rather blast Super Bowl we had
back in February in northern California. It's the third Super
Bowl rematch on kickoff weekend. Oh boy, that's so exciting.
Nineteen seventy and that was Carolina. That was Minnesota, Mine
Carolina einety seven, Minnesota in casey, Carolina and Denver in
(06:24):
twenty sixteen for you nerds.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Congratulations then, but wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
On Thursday, the traditional beginning of the NFL season's usually
on Thursday, but on September tenth, and this game, I
guess on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So everyone like Dick and Dayton, guys like that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'll be bitching they can't get the game. But the
Rams and Niners will meet in Melbourne at the Cricket Ground.
I have no idea what that is, but that's a thing,
and so they'll be there hanging out there. Our buddies
in Australia can fill us in on that first ever
regular season game in Australia. A lot of buzz all around.
This seems like a really big deal NFL schedule dump,
(07:05):
and that is a good jumping off points. So let
us discuss the question where are you at on the
hooplaw around the NFL's schedule release day which is now
taking place.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I've got the dead Sea scrolls, US Marines and Vegas
style residency and we will combine all of these things
together and let it soak into.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The skin, is what we're going to do, all right.
So a, this is the vacuum of.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The NFL off season, the off season hunger games, if
you will, where thirty two teams enter and absolutely zero
new information leaves. We have officially reached the peak of
the Dog and Pony Show. I always look at this
as the peak of it the NFL, and to their
(07:59):
credit that they're able to pull this off. They successfully
turned basic math into a national holiday. We're talking a
countdown clock to the right live TV specials. It's like
essentially a glorified grocery list. I'm going to the store
to buy some groceries. Okay, let's get excited on Aisle seven.
(08:23):
Wait a minute, is that at a canna chunky soup
on Aisle seven. But dan over on the back aisle,
you got some eggs. Wait a minute, is that lettuce over.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
There in week nine?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh my god, there's a little lettuce. Do I see
tomato for week ten?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Goodiet we get a tomato? Way to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh then there's a pineapple in week eleven. That's hard
to cut into. Yeah. Some hearto types are out there
treating the schedule like it's the dead Sea scrolls. It's
a calendar, that's it. People are acting like knowing week
nine okay with Thursday night game that suddenly changes the
axis of the entire season, the rotation of the earth.
(09:05):
It's manufactured excitement, honest listen. It's designed to fill the
dead zone between the draft and the mini camp stuff
and then training camp eventure. But the league is televising
the equivalent of a coin toss rehearsal and we're getting
a two hour pregame nonsense and all that. Half the analysis,
(09:25):
of course, is pure noise, which you could argue at
all is and all we do here in gas baggery
is pure noise. You know, the tough stench of November.
Will they overcome the beginning of the season in September. Yeah,
and I always love it because having paid attention, I'm
just being somewhat grown up and watching this stuff. You
watch the NFL and you think you know, you don't know, right,
(09:49):
the injuries, the random variants. It will laugh right in
your face at your little strength of schedule debate by
not even by December, by mid November, because the quarterback
to the right gets hurt. Quarterback to the left, you know,
he has issues with some woman. He starts falling by
(10:10):
the matchups though this is the thing. We've known them
for months since the end of the regular season. The
order is the only mystery in this in the NFL schedule,
and even that feels rigged for sweeps week, Isn't you know?
It's not news. It's a manifesto of nothing. But here
(10:32):
I am partaking in it because I'm a dope. And
listen the Vikings running out of time on their draft picks.
I found it much more electric than the schedule to me,
you know, back in the day when the Vikings did that.
We are all suckers for a well timed type video.
And you want hype videos.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I mean this is and all you can eat buffet?
Is every team a.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Little hype videos here, there and everywhere. The league turned
basic math though, into some kind of national event and
we're gonna it's gonna blow you away. So every team
will play seventeen games in eighteen weeks between September ninth
and January tenth, twenty twenty seven. That's two hundred and
seventy two total games played out over one hundred and
(11:17):
twenty three days, four months and a day. The hardest
thing about the schedule is trying to pacify all of
the television partners that have bankrolled what.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Is going on here, right This is NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The sugar daddy is the TV, and so they got
to please Fox, but they also got to take care
of NBC and CBS, and then what about the Netflix
and Amazon and ESPN. They all want their share all
right now meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Flipping the page.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So the grumbling is something that is universal to this
particular event.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And while I have paid limited attention to.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The sports talk airwaves over the last couple hours, I
have just from people on associated the complaints and whatnot.
Some the feedback I get on the email, like, for example,
New England opens twenty twenty six, with three straight games
against divisional winners. That's more than they faced all of
last season. We knew that they played a soft, fluffy
(12:17):
schedule last year, the fluffer nutters schedule and then comes
a road trip to Buffalo's shiny new outdoor palace. So
that gives the Patriots the hardest schedule weeks one through
four since the nineteen eighty six Randall Cuttingham Philadelphia Eagles.
(12:39):
My god, ghastly, ghastly. Meanwhile, Kansas City gets a quarterback gauntlet.
People are freaking out about Net's not until the middle
to late part of the year where they have a
stretch where they play Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow,
Drake may Brock, perty Justin Herbert like consecutively, which like okay,
(13:00):
can good News play some good teams?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And the Jags from Week four to Week sixteen, people
freaking out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They barely see beautiful Jacksonville, Holy angry Bill. Seven road games,
two London games, one bye week, and just three home dates.
All right, So the question give me your message to
the fans who are grumbling. And this is just a
small example. The Arizona Cardinals have the toughest schedule or
(13:28):
depending on what metric you look at and anyway, So
give me your message to the fan who is grumbling
about having a difficult part to the schedule. So my
first reaction is, booooo, stop your rebelly aching. Every team
in the NFL, as we said, they play seventeen games.
You're not special to the dopes currently presiding as members
(13:51):
of the Church of Victimhood. We've all heard today's sermon.
Why us okay, tough enough? A little bit, time to
act more like the US Marines there and just embrace
the sock and you have a tough schedule.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Hoorah.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That's what they say over the Marines. That's where grown
teams are made, right. That's where you don't run from
the challenge. You run towards it and get a little
mud under your fingernails and celebrate the fact that overcame
a tough schedule because a real NFL team is supposed
to it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
This schedule is not supposed to smell like lavender. It's
supposed to smell like a like.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
A trash shoot at the end of the week without
being cleaned.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The struggle makes for a better story anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
If you want easy, go play pickleball somewhere, knock yourself out,
get play some pickaball.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable, at least that's supposed
to be the way.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And it's like the whole sport. They always bragged about.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That back in the day, and the cliche about pressure
making diamonds, and of course in this case, I guess
it exposes frauds. And good teams should not be like,
oh my god, we've got the gauntlet like you treat
it like a toothpick, and you sharpen your teeth on it.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You quit your whining and get on with it, all right. Meanwhile,
last word, so moving forward, Well, I am very.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Cynical, as you may know. Night by night.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Here, the one thing that stands out there is one
thing that I have long said is the only.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Meaningful takeaway from all of this.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So that is the question, what is the biggest thing,
or maybe even the only thing that we take away
from the annual right of passage the NFL's schedule in
this case for twenty twenty six. So for those of
you in the back of the room that have not
been paying attention, the NFL schedule is not so much
a calendar. It's kind of like flashing back to high school.
(15:45):
Think of it like the high school cafeteria map, where
the NFL tells us exactly which table the cool kids
are out, and then who gets shoved into the basement.
I was always in the basement when I was in
high school. I don't know about you, so I never
got to sit with the cool kids. But this isn't
about fairness in this case. The NFL always like to said,
oh about fairness. It's not about fairness. It's a popularity
(16:09):
contest designed to separate the watchables from the unwatchables. Okay,
and if your team is among the low five I'm
talking Jets, Titans, Raiders, Cardinals, or Dolphins, congratulations because you
have been handed a scarlet letter and a dunce cap.
Zero primetime games. And this is inconceivable if you're of
(16:33):
a certain age and you recall the glory days of
the Raiders and the Dolphins, that we have now reached
rock bottom after all these years of product that was
covered in feces. Finally the Raiders and Dolphins together zero
primetime games. And the Jets have always sucked. The Titans
(16:54):
have been pretty bad. The Cardinals are the worst of
the worst, but zero primetime games. That is the NFL
screaming on top of the building.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
That you are bad, TV.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You are so bad that a test pattern would likely
pull better ratings than putting a raided Dolphin game on television.
That's how bad you are. Meanwhile, the haves are living
in luxury. They're in the presidential suite. Teams like Green Bay,
Kansas City, Buffalo, and Seattle are the darlings. They have
six games apiece. However, the true king of the Nielsen needle,
(17:30):
not the Space needle, the Nielsen needle.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You know who the real glamort team is. You probably think, well,
the Dallas Colviny No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The team the television has picked as the King of
the hill a number one most popular in the entire
National Football League, the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You can ram it all day and you can ram
it all night.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The Rams with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nakua seven prime
time slots. Sean mcvay's team has secured a Vegas style
residency on the Boop too that covers forty one percent
of their season.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And oh, by the.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Way, so it's a record tied for the record, and
there's always a chance of Rams will got an extra
primetime game late in the year, so we're possibly half
almost half, not quite but almost half. There's games will
be in primetime. The message is loud and clear. The
Rams are the most important team in the NFL. This year,
the Rams moved the needle yet again. Another win for
(18:25):
the Rams.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The NFL.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You know, they didn't necessarily build a schedule. They curated
a VIP list and if you're on it, congratulations, right
and if you're not on there, well you're probably just
a nobody. So it's just the way it is, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It is the Ben Malor Show. We are back.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
We have some stories to tell, some people to thank
for the great event that we had over the weekend
in Boston.

Speaker 2 (18:55):

real p ones, fake p ones that don't listen to
the Thing podcast. I laid everything out I thought on
the podcast. But I always love when I do something
like this and I leave information out on the podcast
because it exposes those that are fraudulent. They'd only listen
to the radio show and don't listen to the podcast
because you know everything. You know all the detailed I
don't like, I don't height it. I just let's save
(19:17):
it for that, just for the real P one plus.
I want you to download my fledgling podcast the fifth hour.

(00:22):
as I will have a podcast all week in. The
Fifth Hour Podcast returns live on tape, fresh episodes all weekend.
There'll be one up later today, a little later than
normal today, but that'll be up later today, also on Saturday,

fun we had in Boston and Worcester and travel log
(00:42):
and all the weird things that happened on the highways
and byways and airports across North America. You'll hear all
about that on today's show Fifth Hour Podcast and also
on Saturday in the Mailbag on Sunday with a surprise
appearance by a maln militia ledge unless they don't show

(01:02):
out all about that over the weekend. So check out
the Fifth Hour Podcast. A companion of this, The Ben
Mather Show here an hour number one though play the
hits mom, Man, where are you at on the hoop
law around the NFL's annual schedule release day? Give me
your message to the fans grumbling about having a tough
schedule in the NFL. Also, what's the biggest thing we
(01:24):
actually do take away and put some value in around
the NFL schedule. There's one thing that stands out like
a thumb that's been hit by a hammer.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We'll talk about that and more right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It is settle in for our number one. Well, you
gotta save the date. That's what they say, you have
to save the date. It's all about that, well dumb.
(01:55):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show,
we are in the air everywhere, back in the saddle
again as we crank up the boombox, and we know
that life has a lot of surface noise, and much
of it is overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Coast to coast, border the border in beyond it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
On the vast and spectacularly powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live the drive as we go into overdrive guaranteed Human.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I am told by the company that I work for,
from the.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
World famous Fox Sports Radio studios were legends like Jerry
in Rhode Island, Blind Scott and Andre and the CommonWell.
We had a murderers row at these Mallard meet and
Greece we did in the Boston area. They all showed
up and showed out, and so many others Danny DaVita.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But what a great night. They all agree, every one
of them I talked to.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They all agreed that this hour is possible part by
our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years, ty
Iraq has been helping customers like alf. I met him
as well. Alf the ilion O Pier is a real
person unless he's not. Ferg Dog never met him and
Mallard prop gu I met him to the only one
missing his Ferg Dog. But I've met him all and
now everyone else, and they all tell me that the
(03:20):
tire Iraq is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They helped you out find the right tires for how,
what and where.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
dot com. The way tire buying should be all right,
And then it was it was also I think I'm
trying to remember who exactly it was it told me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
They said, hey, Wee Bowl, you know it's time to
get your financial.

great fun we had at the Mallard meet and greets.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It actually turned out to be three in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's only supposed to be two, which I thought was
way too much and would have been way too much,
and then we did a third one on top of it.
We're gonna tell some stories throughout the night and I'll
save a lot of it for the fifth hour podcast.
It'll be up sometime later on Friday, probably a little
later than normal because of the schedule that is rather absurd,
but that set our lead this hour. Don't bury the lead,
(04:34):
my man, heart, We're not gonna bury the lead. So
our lead this hour from the schedule, because there's nothing
better than when you have a talk show than talking
about a schedule. My god, It is something that has
happened while I have been behind the microphones at the
bully pulpit at Fox Sports Radio. This thing just popped
off out of thin air, and it's now a yearly tradition,
(04:56):
like the Swallows returning to Capistrano or punk Satani Phil.
Will he see his shadow? It's the NFL's schedule release day.
Did you get swept up in the excitement? Were you
feeling a little tingly because of the schedule being announced? No, well,
the NFL is one hundred and seventh season, we are
told is going to be played and not until the
(05:20):
end of the year. But the league's annual prime time
kickoff game was announced. The reigning champions, I know. No
Stradinas had his pants around his ankles. He was all
excited about this, and JJ and Ritten and all them.
But the champion Seahawks thanks to that generous officiating. Let's
just give Seattle two points they didn't get anyway, these
(05:40):
move on. I'll move on, I promise, just like I've
moved on from the cheating as one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes. Anyway, the Seahawks will host the Patriots,
I'm sure. Diana Rossini will be watching this game, and
that's at Lumen Field there in downtown Seattle, the stadium
I was barred from years ago. That'll be on September night.
That's a Wednesday on NBC. It is a rematch I
(06:03):
am told of the rather blast Super Bowl we had
back in February in northern California. It's the third Super
Bowl rematch on kickoff weekend. Oh boy, that's so exciting.
Nineteen seventy and that was Carolina. That was Minnesota, Mine
Carolina einety seven, Minnesota in casey, Carolina and Denver in
(06:24):
twenty sixteen for you nerds.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Congratulations then, but wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
On Thursday, the traditional beginning of the NFL season's usually
on Thursday, but on September tenth, and this game, I
guess on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So everyone like Dick and Dayton, guys like that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'll be bitching they can't get the game. But the
Rams and Niners will meet in Melbourne at the Cricket Ground.
I have no idea what that is, but that's a thing,
and so they'll be there hanging out there. Our buddies
in Australia can fill us in on that first ever
regular season game in Australia. A lot of buzz all around.
This seems like a really big deal NFL schedule dump,
(07:05):
and that is a good jumping off points. So let
us discuss the question where are you at on the
hooplaw around the NFL's schedule release day which is now
taking place.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I've got the dead Sea scrolls, US Marines and Vegas
style residency and we will combine all of these things
together and let it soak into.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The skin, is what we're going to do, all right.
So a, this is the vacuum of.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The NFL off season, the off season hunger games, if
you will, where thirty two teams enter and absolutely zero
new information leaves. We have officially reached the peak of
the Dog and Pony Show. I always look at this
as the peak of it the NFL, and to their
(07:59):
credit that they're able to pull this off. They successfully
turned basic math into a national holiday. We're talking a
countdown clock to the right live TV specials. It's like
essentially a glorified grocery list. I'm going to the store
to buy some groceries. Okay, let's get excited on Aisle seven.
(08:23):
Wait a minute, is that at a canna chunky soup
on Aisle seven. But dan over on the back aisle,
you got some eggs. Wait a minute, is that lettuce over.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
There in week nine?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh my god, there's a little lettuce. Do I see
tomato for week ten?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Goodiet we get a tomato? Way to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh then there's a pineapple in week eleven. That's hard
to cut into. Yeah. Some hearto types are out there
treating the schedule like it's the dead Sea scrolls. It's
a calendar, that's it. People are acting like knowing week
nine okay with Thursday night game that suddenly changes the
axis of the entire season, the rotation of the earth.
(09:05):
It's manufactured excitement, honest listen. It's designed to fill the
dead zone between the draft and the mini camp stuff
and then training camp eventure. But the league is televising
the equivalent of a coin toss rehearsal and we're getting
a two hour pregame nonsense and all that. Half the analysis,
(09:25):
of course, is pure noise, which you could argue at
all is and all we do here in gas baggery
is pure noise. You know, the tough stench of November.
Will they overcome the beginning of the season in September. Yeah,
and I always love it because having paid attention, I'm
just being somewhat grown up and watching this stuff. You
watch the NFL and you think you know, you don't know, right,
(09:49):
the injuries, the random variants. It will laugh right in
your face at your little strength of schedule debate by
not even by December, by mid November, because the quarterback
to the right gets hurt. Quarterback to the left, you know,
he has issues with some woman. He starts falling by
(10:10):
the matchups though this is the thing. We've known them
for months since the end of the regular season. The
order is the only mystery in this in the NFL schedule,
and even that feels rigged for sweeps week, Isn't you know?
It's not news. It's a manifesto of nothing. But here
(10:32):
I am partaking in it because I'm a dope. And
listen the Vikings running out of time on their draft picks.
I found it much more electric than the schedule to me,
you know, back in the day when the Vikings did that.
We are all suckers for a well timed type video.
And you want hype videos.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I mean this is and all you can eat buffet?
Is every team a.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Little hype videos here, there and everywhere. The league turned
basic math though, into some kind of national event and
we're gonna it's gonna blow you away. So every team
will play seventeen games in eighteen weeks between September ninth
and January tenth, twenty twenty seven. That's two hundred and
seventy two total games played out over one hundred and
(11:17):
twenty three days, four months and a day. The hardest
thing about the schedule is trying to pacify all of
the television partners that have bankrolled what.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Is going on here, right This is NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The sugar daddy is the TV, and so they got
to please Fox, but they also got to take care
of NBC and CBS, and then what about the Netflix
and Amazon and ESPN. They all want their share all
right now meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Flipping the page.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So the grumbling is something that is universal to this
particular event.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And while I have paid limited attention to.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The sports talk airwaves over the last couple hours, I
have just from people on associated the complaints and whatnot.
Some the feedback I get on the email, like, for example,
New England opens twenty twenty six, with three straight games
against divisional winners. That's more than they faced all of
last season. We knew that they played a soft, fluffy
(12:17):
schedule last year, the fluffer nutters schedule and then comes
a road trip to Buffalo's shiny new outdoor palace. So
that gives the Patriots the hardest schedule weeks one through
four since the nineteen eighty six Randall Cuttingham Philadelphia Eagles.
(12:39):
My god, ghastly, ghastly. Meanwhile, Kansas City gets a quarterback gauntlet.
People are freaking out about Net's not until the middle
to late part of the year where they have a
stretch where they play Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow,
Drake may Brock, perty Justin Herbert like consecutively, which like okay,
(13:00):
can good News play some good teams?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And the Jags from Week four to Week sixteen, people
freaking out.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They barely see beautiful Jacksonville, Holy angry Bill. Seven road games,
two London games, one bye week, and just three home dates.
All right, So the question give me your message to
the fans who are grumbling. And this is just a
small example. The Arizona Cardinals have the toughest schedule or
(13:28):
depending on what metric you look at and anyway, So
give me your message to the fan who is grumbling
about having a difficult part to the schedule. So my
first reaction is, booooo, stop your rebelly aching. Every team
in the NFL, as we said, they play seventeen games.
You're not special to the dopes currently presiding as members
(13:51):
of the Church of Victimhood. We've all heard today's sermon.
Why us okay, tough enough? A little bit, time to
act more like the US Marines there and just embrace
the sock and you have a tough schedule.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Hoorah.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That's what they say over the Marines. That's where grown
teams are made, right. That's where you don't run from
the challenge. You run towards it and get a little
mud under your fingernails and celebrate the fact that overcame
a tough schedule because a real NFL team is supposed
to it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
This schedule is not supposed to smell like lavender. It's
supposed to smell like a like.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
A trash shoot at the end of the week without
being cleaned.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The struggle makes for a better story anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
If you want easy, go play pickleball somewhere, knock yourself out,
get play some pickaball.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable, at least that's supposed
to be the way.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And it's like the whole sport. They always bragged about.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That back in the day, and the cliche about pressure
making diamonds, and of course in this case, I guess
it exposes frauds. And good teams should not be like,
oh my god, we've got the gauntlet like you treat
it like a toothpick, and you sharpen your teeth on it.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You quit your whining and get on with it, all right. Meanwhile,
last word, so moving forward, Well, I am very.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Cynical, as you may know. Night by night.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Here, the one thing that stands out there is one
thing that I have long said is the only.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Meaningful takeaway from all of this.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So that is the question, what is the biggest thing,
or maybe even the only thing that we take away
from the annual right of passage the NFL's schedule in
this case for twenty twenty six. So for those of
you in the back of the room that have not
been paying attention, the NFL schedule is not so much
a calendar. It's kind of like flashing back to high school.
(15:45):
Think of it like the high school cafeteria map, where
the NFL tells us exactly which table the cool kids
are out, and then who gets shoved into the basement.
I was always in the basement when I was in
high school. I don't know about you, so I never
got to sit with the cool kids. But this isn't
about fairness in this case. The NFL always like to said,
oh about fairness. It's not about fairness. It's a popularity
(16:09):
contest designed to separate the watchables from the unwatchables. Okay,
and if your team is among the low five I'm
talking Jets, Titans, Raiders, Cardinals, or Dolphins, congratulations because you
have been handed a scarlet letter and a dunce cap.
Zero primetime games. And this is inconceivable if you're of
(16:33):
a certain age and you recall the glory days of
the Raiders and the Dolphins, that we have now reached
rock bottom after all these years of product that was
covered in feces. Finally the Raiders and Dolphins together zero
primetime games. And the Jets have always sucked. The Titans
(16:54):
have been pretty bad. The Cardinals are the worst of
the worst, but zero primetime games. That is the NFL
screaming on top of the building.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
That you are bad, TV.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You are so bad that a test pattern would likely
pull better ratings than putting a raided Dolphin game on television.
That's how bad you are. Meanwhile, the haves are living
in luxury. They're in the presidential suite. Teams like Green Bay,
Kansas City, Buffalo, and Seattle are the darlings. They have
six games apiece. However, the true king of the Nielsen needle,
(17:30):
not the Space needle, the Nielsen needle.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You know who the real glamort team is. You probably think, well,
the Dallas Colviny No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The team the television has picked as the King of
the hill a number one most popular in the entire
National Football League, the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You can ram it all day and you can ram
it all night.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The Rams with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nakua seven prime
time slots. Sean mcvay's team has secured a Vegas style
residency on the Boop too that covers forty one percent
of their season.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And oh, by the.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Way, so it's a record tied for the record, and
there's always a chance of Rams will got an extra
primetime game late in the year, so we're possibly half
almost half, not quite but almost half. There's games will
be in primetime. The message is loud and clear. The
Rams are the most important team in the NFL. This year,
the Rams moved the needle yet again. Another win for
(18:25):
the Rams.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The NFL.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You know, they didn't necessarily build a schedule. They curated
a VIP list and if you're on it, congratulations, right
and if you're not on there, well you're probably just
a nobody. So it's just the way it is, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It is the Ben Malor Show. We are back.
Speaker 2 (18:47):

don't like, I don't height it. I just let's save

send writers all over the. Place and SO i was
