(00:21):
number one, play the Hits mo Man play the Hits
forty nine ers working their magic on Monday night, the
day after the fallout. How concerned should the Niners be
with the status of Christian McCaffrey and his injury. Also,
where are you at on the latest Tyreek Hill developments?
And what did you think of Broncos coach Sean Payton

(00:43):
passionately defending bow knicks? Oh self destructed. We'll get to
all of that and the whole bag of tricks right
now in our number one The back is not back well,
oh come, in the beginning of another night of the

the One Legged bamamn impressed by that number. Tyraq dot com,

(01:53):
The Way Tire Buying Show b and our lead this
hour from the post Mortem. On the weekend that was
in the NFL specifically will start in northern California. Are
the forty nine ers going to be centered by the

(02:16):
NFL for their shenanigans? The Niners on the field painted
a masterpiece. Back on Monday night, they roasted the Jets.
I didn't know that was possible. The jet is not
an animal, but they were able to roast them. Now
that came without Christian McCaffrey, the NFL's offensive player of
the Year. We talked about this in a previous episode

(02:38):
of the show, the Niners claiming now a calf achilles
injury backup someone named Jordan Mason. I don't know who
that is, but he played wonderfully and he also said
the thing. You can't say it at the time you
can't say it after the game, claiming that he was
aware he would be starting back on Friday, and the

(03:00):
breathless reporting by NFL media was that the decision came
down just before the game, but he actually knew all
weekend that he was gonna start on Monday, and then
he got called into the principal's office and then it
was all bummed out and depressed and all that. Well,
now reports are saying that Christian McCaffrey could have played
had the forty nine ers been in a playoff game.

(03:22):
Very odd to play a playoff game in September. I
don't think it's ever happened before. Maybe it has, I
don't know. And at the same time, that's one side
of the mouth. On the other side of the mouth,
we're also being told there's a real chance that McCaffrey
will not play in Week two against the Mannaiso the Vikings.

(03:42):
So the story is what's known as a scattershot store.
It's all over the map. You've got one report, say
why he could have played, then not gonna play. I'm
gonna play, all right. So let us discuss the question
how concerned should the forty nine ers be with Christian
McCaffrey and his reported injury. So I've gotten Gateway martyrdom
and Slurpy and we'll put all of these things together

(04:07):
and we will ride the hamster wheel of the hot
take is what we're going to do. So a one
thing I have learned this week in Week one, you
know what did you learn? Do not believe anything that
comes out of the forty nine ers, right the rhetoric
from Kyle Shanahan. He will lie right to your face.
The forty nine ers were caught red handed in the

(04:30):
fib factory. We detailed the Jordan Mason saying the quiet
part out loud part of the story. So you have
to cut through the haze. You have to cut through
the haze or the smoke if you live in a
place where a lot of wildfires. So Christian McCaffrey allegedly
has achilles tendonitis. That's the story as I understand it,

(04:53):
Achilles tendonitis, which is a gateway injury. Now, I'm not
a I'm not a doctor. However, I can play one
on overnight radio, and based on several minutes of going
on web md and other medical websites, the injury does
not sound that it sounds benign right Achilles ten to night,

(05:15):
as tendonitis is something that is pretty common. The claim
is that that type of ten to night is will
lead to a snap, crackle pop of the achilles and
if that happens, well, that is a career changing injury. However,
despite that, I am measured. I am measured on the
Malord worry Ometer for the forty nine ers with Christian

(05:38):
McCaffrey one to ten, with ten being oh my god,
this is the worst thing ever. I'm at a three.
And here's why we're ways away. We don't. I got
away through the end of the year here to get
to January for the playoffs. And they already have a
plug and play guy in Jordan Mason. They have the

(06:00):
Shanahan scheme, which Kyle just took from his daddy. It's
the family business coaching in the NFL. And Jordan Mason
will not be as good as he was Monday night
most of the time. The law of averages will catch
up to him. But he got off to a great
start and they can find some guy out of the
Canadian Football League, get somebody from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

(06:21):
and be okay for the regular season. Right for the
regular season. Now turn the page. We go to Miami.
As we continue, are around the clock coverage when your
favorite NFL star gets pulled over. We are there latest
on the speeding ticket. Hurting round the echo chamber of
the NFL. You've got proclamations coming out Drew Rosenhaus, the

(06:43):
high powered, high falutin NFL agent, Drew Rosenhouse, and Tyreek
Hill himself. Now Tyreek threw a statement from his attorney
calling for the police officer who pulled him out of
the vehicle to be fired. Miami Dade cop cops said

(07:05):
Hill was cited for careless driving and a seat belt
violation in the traffic stop that has been dissected like
it is a laboratory frog. The citation states that Hill
was going sixty miles an hour, twenty miles over the
posted speed limit. That was a visual estimation over the

(07:29):
speed limit which was at forty miles in our Now
it depends where, like a lot of the cops I've noticed,
I'll let you go like ten miles over the speed limit,
maybe even fifteen, but once you get to like twenty,
it becomes an issue where they can cherry pick it's
like shooting fish in a barrel. I did not see
any statement by Tyreek Hill announcing well, maybe I should
have let the window down. I didn't say anything like that.

(07:50):
I'd see Rougie rosen I'll say, next time, Tyreek, just
leave the window down. I didn't see that. I must
have missed it. I'm sure both of them issued statements
saying that that should have happened. Where are you at
regarding the latest developments in the Tyreek Hill story? All right,
so we know at this point battle lines have been drawn.

(08:12):
There's no one in the middle of the road. Right.
You're either I hate all cops and this is an
example of how cops all suck, or you're like, well
the cop was over the top, but Tyreek should have
should have rolled the window down. Right now, Drew Rosenhaus
and those in the Tyreek Hill camp. The thing that's

(08:32):
fascinating to me mentioned the battle lines are drawn on it.
The thing here that it just blows my mind is
that they are working overtime here to paint a Tyreek
as some kind of sympathetic figure. That there's martyrdom on
display here, and that just blows me away, Like there's
a lot of people. He says, sympathetic for Tyreek, his resume,

(08:53):
his body of work, assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, domestic violence.
He was accused of battery in twenty nineteen. Last year,
he paid some hush money to a marina worker in
South Florida that he was accused of assaulting. Now Hills
a heck of a football player. But let's not pretend
he's mother Teresa here. Let's not pretend he's mother Teresa. Again.

(09:15):
The cop was a hot head. Tyreek escalated the situation
with the rolling up the window and all that, the
tinted window, which is no no taboo in that world
of law enforcement. And so both things can simultaneously be true.
That's the way it is. I mean both people in

(09:37):
this case there was wrong on each side. And we'll
see how this plays out. But now the last word here,
let's go to Denver as the dissection of the play
of the rookie quarterbacks continues. Now, Sean Payton, he came
out swinging in defense of his quarterback. He says he

(09:57):
has no worries Sean Payton with what he saw from
rookie bow Nicks in his first game. A lot of
the nerds love the nerd sites. Oh many have They
know exactly who the offensive line is supposed to block
and where the receivers are supposed to run. They have
all the answers, and then they can grade everyone. It's outstanding.

(10:17):
I don't know how they have all that. They must
be really smart. They're super nerds. So they're like, well,
Nicks didn't play all that well. I kept flipping back,
I kept going back to this game, and I'm like, wow,
he's how is he this bad? Now? Sean Payton, what
he did was he praised the attitude. He praised the

(10:38):
attitude which bo Nicks performed right, he celebrated. Now, what
did you think? Quick question for the Steam panel, what
did you think of Broncos coach Champagne here passionately defending
bow Nicks and the attitude that he played with. So
it was standard for I would say, you don't judge

(11:01):
success and failure based on attitude. Now, maybe I'm wrong
on that. I never coached in the NFL, I never
played in the NFL. But you expected Peyton to come
out and stand by his quarterback, and he did. He
stood by his quarterback. But it's also a classic diversionary tactic.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
It is.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
He became a cliche monsters. We just got to be
better all around, right, better around him, And it's gonna
be hard to play quarterback. Period. I can't run the
ball and all that. Of course, one thing leads to another, right,
if you're able to throw the ball, that open up's
a running game and vice versa. But the way I
looked at it, bo Nicks played like he was at

(11:40):
seven eleven and we've all been there, and he ordered
a slurpee at seven eleven and he just ate it
too fast and he had brain freeze. It's what he played.
He played like, and he'll play better either that or
he won't be playing like. It's not really that are
you Either gonna play better or they'll sit him down

(12:03):
and put Zach Wilson in there, God forbid, and they'll
rotate the quarterbacks. If he's gonna go out there and
drown there. Now, there is some level of growing pains
that you have to go through, and so he's gonna
have a lot of opportunity to show improvement. And the
good thing is the bar is very low. The bar
is very like you could be in the gutter and

(12:24):
clear the bar. Okay, that's where the bar is for
bow Nicks. It is the Ben Mallards Show. I you
are inclined to be part, there are lines open. We
would love to have you be part of the show,

then getting on the air and all that. So you

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't know who that guy is. I've I've never
heard of Dan Bernstein. I don't know who is, but
somebody sent me the clip and like the guy kind
of a douche. I mean, that was what were you doing?
I mean, who are you? You're just some gas bag
on the radio. You can't call me that name. What
are you doing? Shame on you, bad jaw by you. Yes,

(17:58):
King Rory writes in from art and he says, hit
the nail on the head with the whole Tyreek Hill situation.
Hill as far from being a saint yet, we don't
know the cops history with the force. I'm just gonna.
I'm sick and tired of the double standards thinking celebrities
can do no wrong. Late Night Drug tester points that
the Niners are going to get punished once the gambling

(18:21):
outfits visit Roger Goodell and remind him who pays the bills. Yeah,
this is one of those things out on the line.
There'll be some press release. The forty nine Ers will
have to give up their second seventh round pick because
they failed to properly honor the injury report, which has

(18:41):
been a rule not just since modern gambling, since the
NFL got in bed with gambling, which I'm fine with
because I have a gambling TV show now, I'm not
worried about that. But this goes back seventy seven years.
The NFL was formed by gamblers. The original NFL owners
were gamblers. Yeah, look it up. I'm not making that up.
They were into gambling, That's what they were into.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
I think Art Rooney won the Steelers in a card game.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, it's like it's like NASCAR has a similar history.
It was a different world back in the day when
these yeah, when these sports leagues started, and they were
some shysters and con men and all of that. Going
at it for sure. So the lip Breader's Paradise, We
take you now to the tabloid world where a lip

(19:29):
reader not associated with the tabloys the tabloids picked up
the story some random woman who I've never heard of
and I'll probably never see again, who is on TikTok.
So she she was watching a clip of Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelcey at the US Open over the weekend

(19:51):
and they had a chance to go out have a
nice weekend in Brooklyn, tend the US Open there and
they hung out together with my So anyway, there was
a clip that just showed Kelsey in his really disturbingly
ugly Gucci hat, a Gucci fishing hat, which I can
only imagine was that.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
The picture with him and Mahomes had the had the
sunglasses on.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah he had.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
He had the fishing hat, but it looked like undercover cops,
but really bad undercover cops.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah it was not. It was not a great look.
But hey, you know, dating a pop star and most
famous woman in the world in terms of entertainment, you
can do that. So a lip reader was breaking down
what she was saying on on the TikTok I don't
know her name is Jackie. I don't know who she is.
You'll probably you probably know who she is at You're

(20:43):
a big TikToker. She was going frame by frame there,
and it appears that Taylor Swift had no idea what
was going on in terms of the tennis. She did
like the music. She was singing along doing karaoke to
the music that was playing at the at.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
The US Open mallor meet and greet in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Then, yeah, there was a lot of karaoke going on there.
And then she also took a couple of pictures of
some people who she may or may not have known.
I'm guessing she probably did know that were kissing in
front of her, and the lip reader said, she said
kiss do it again. But at one point the lip

(21:26):
reader and it did look based on what I saw,
that this lip reader nailed it that Taylor Swift turned
to Patrick Mahomes and asked him if he knew what
was going on on the on the tennis court, and
Mahomes had no idea either. They were just there, it appeared,

(21:46):
based on my interpretation of the video, just to drink
and have a good time. And there's really no other
reason to go to tennis. Tennis, am I wrong? Tennis
is not a great spectators sport. Like the people the
US Open has all the written you know, the celebrities
go there because it's in New York and and they
love that and all that. But it's really just a
place to go and be seen, and you're not really

(22:09):
going there because you're a purist of tennis, alright. Even
Like there's a guy that works there, I forget his name,
one of the guys in the news department that he
claims to love tennis. Bo he's just pretending. It's all
an act. He just yeah, he thinks he can get
like tennis jobs and all that. I forget his name.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Who.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
There is a lot of people that work here. It's
a big company. It's a a major media machine, this company.
So anyway, lip readers paradise. That's that's a great skill.
The lip reading.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I like the body language reading too. I've gotten that down.
I'm pretty good at reading body language. Not too bad
at that now. The lip reading, eh, not so much,
not so much.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific and.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
It's now time for tech producer Mark's favorite spot of
the show. Did the White Sox.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Lose You can put it on the Yes.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
They certainly did, shut out by the Cleveland Guardians five
nothing in Cleveland with a bullpen game. They use seven
different pitchers to just hold the White Sox to five hits.
In the shout up, but we don't care about that
one hundred and thirteen losses. Now for the White Sox,
they are eight away from breaking the record for most
losses in a season with sixteen games left. They are
gonna do it with breathing room.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think they're on their way.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Mark's very proud.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Baseball and morta. I was talking to Mark in the
other night. We were having a conversation and we're like, Hey,
the White Sox should embrace this, don't run from this,
embrace this, and they should have a worst team in
baseball history parade. They should have a parade in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
I would like to request that Mark come in and
work that night when they break that record. Don't you
think it'd be fun?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Mark good a lot to be spectacular.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Yeah, beat down by my coworkers, he has a wonderful night.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's lovely the Chicago Bulls when Jordan left and they
went to full on tank mode when they had Tim
Floyd as the coach. There were some lean years for
the Bulls, but they never set the NBA record for losses.
They they were pretty bad for a couple of years,
but they were never the worst of the worst. And
it is the Ben Maler show. Time now for fun fact.

(24:27):
Fun fact, Ben Maller, fun fact to piggyback off the
misery of the Chicago White Sox. Actually watched a few minutes.
Don't tell anybody I watched this Macaw. I watched some
of the White Sox game against the Guardians and Steve
Stone on NBC Chicago. They're calling the game doing the
color commentary, and it was so bad. It was the

(24:48):
second inning and the White Sox are playing the team
that used to be known as the Cleveland Indians, and
they're doing a hearty conversation about a Seattle Mariner. Each
row is what they were breaking down. But with their
law to the Guardians on Tuesday night, the Chicago White
Sox have now fallen. As Eddie mentioned, thirty three, one
hundred and thirteen. That means they are only the fourth

(25:09):
team in modern baseball history to at some point be
eighty games under five hundred.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Oh no, which shuck again.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Eighty games under five hundred. Do you know how hard
it is to be eighty games under five hundred?

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Years wreaking the same thing?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Dude, you realize there are expansion teams where they put
guys together they don't even know who they are, and
they're not eighty games and they're five hundred. Leg It's wild.
It's called dedication. They are committed. They are, they are,
and they should be committed. Also, the White Sox, Wow,
this is so bad. They might have to go to
a different uniform. They might have to go back to
like those nineteen eighties blue the blue and red uniforms

(25:53):
and just changed like the logo, go back to the
old logos.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
But they wear the shorts again.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, go something old school. We just put the Sox
on that hat the way they did the block letters
Sox member back in the day. They had those for
They've had a lot of uniforms the White Sox over
the years. It is the Bane Malord show. As we
are rolling on and now a man cashing a golden ticket.
He wasted no time. The cash is Golden ticket. We

(26:23):
go to Minnesota and stay hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Who's in the leadoff chair? He is our Kyle Schwarber
in the leadoff chair.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Holler with James to open up this show.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
All I really want to know is that my vale
victorian of your show.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan writes, and he says, Tyreek
Hill is a freakish hybrid of O. J. Simpson and
Antonio Cramarti. If you do you know he needs to
find judge? You know? Wow, that was random? What is that?
You got? Tourett's what's going on on the man?

Speaker 4 (27:01):
That was?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
That was odd? I just mentioned do no I know,
but it was just he just yeah, I mentioned Antonio Comarti.
You got anything for Commarti? No? Do you know? Do
you know who Antonio Commarti is? Comarty tribute? Question?

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Who was he?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Okay, I'll give you another golden ticket if you can
tell me who he is? Right now? Who is he?
What sport did he play?

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Too? Cammarti played?

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Oh no, Coop, No, no, no, no, He's I got
to ask you more questions. Well, what team is he
most known for playing for?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Antonio Tomarty played in terms of Buffalo bills.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Okay, that is is incorrect. And what is his what
is his most famous what is the thing that he
went viral for on the interweb? There was there was
a sound bite did he gave Antonio Comarty And it
was back when he was playing for the Jets And
it's still to this day people bring it up. What
do you think it was? I give up, he has

(28:15):
no idea who antoniomart You're just yeah, exactly. So they
did this, I think it was on Hard Knocks and
they they asked Antonio Commarti to name his kids, and uh,
he could not. He has so many kids. He could
not name all his kids.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, wow, you got you shut me on that one.

Speaker 1 (28:34):

Why is that? James? Okay, thank you all right? Can

Turn out for the who am I game? Lot has
been made in the football media by the terrible play
of Caleb Williams, Bo Nicks, and Jayden Daniels, the three stooges,
the rookie quarterbacks who did not did not perform well

(30:37):
in their first games in the NFL. However, I happened
to own the NFL record for the fewest yards per
pass attempt for a quarterback in their first career start.
Now this is minimum ten passes attempted. Again, I own
the NFL record for the fewest yards per pass attempt
for a quarterback in their first career start, minimum ten

(31:02):
pass attempts. Who am I? That is the question. The answer.
We'll get to it and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
We're gonna pay off the who am I game coming
up in a moment. But you remember years ago, if
you're if you're old enough, there was a documentary. It
was like one of those thirty for thirty documentaries called Broke. Remember, yes,
I remember that. Yeah, they gave all the numbers, like
sixty percent NBA players that broke within five years, seventy
eight percent of NFL players it takes three years. They

(32:05):
lose all their money.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
A lot of them were family members. That yeah, we're
a part of the why those guys got went broke.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
I heard when I was covering the NBA a lot back,
and those guys said they found cousins they didn't even
know existing when I was coming to Clippers, who like,
we're asking for money. But anyway, I bring this up
because Adrian Peterson.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
I saw this, who earned over one.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Hundred million dollars during his career with the Vikings and
all the other teams, has apparently lost it all. He
was told to pay twelve and a half million dollars
in debt. The news coming out he's apparently got a
lot of stuff, a lot of assets at his home

(32:49):
in Texas. Do you think he's got twelve million dollars
worth of stuff.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
I'm going to say no to that.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Probably not.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
But he did have a camel, that's right, that's right.
And I was spent his money.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I was able to ask him. I knew things were
not going good for Adrian when he was a guest
on my podcast at the Super Bowl a while back.
But yeah, eight years ago, he took a loan out
for five point two million from a lending company in Pennsylvania,
and with interest and attorney's fees, that led to an

(33:22):
eight point three million dollar judgment against him in twenty
twenty one. And I guess he didn't pay that, and
so now it's up to twelve million dollars if I
read the story right, So good luck. You think he'll
come back and play? You need a running back?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Would you like to play running back? I need a
job time now for the Huma game. Lots of sub
standard quarterback play. The three Stooges, the rookie quarterbacks Caleb Williams,
Bo Nicks, and Jayden Daniels. However, I happened to own
the NFL record for the fewest yards per pass attempt
for a quarterback in their first career start. Who am I?

(34:02):
That is the question? What is the answer? And let's
go to the great Unwashed and see if anyone knows
the answer. That boy Malcolm going with show legend from
