Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb burrowod Our, one
of the original Recipe podcast, and a happy, happy Tuesday
to you as we begin to do this hour on
the Ben Mather Show. And here in hour number one,
RAMS coach Sean McVeigh continues to downplay Matthew Stafford's back injury.
(00:22):
What do your ears tell you? Also, quarterback Shear Sanders
is buried on the Browns depth chart. How does that taste?
And Joe Burrow Lamar Jackson are among the most popular
NFL MVP bets. What do you think about that? We'll
talk about that as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number one. There
(00:49):
has been one NFL exhibition game so far, and already
the quarterback injuries piling up, up, up and away. Welcome
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere making a connection as
(01:11):
we are flailing and bailing coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the mast and magically powerful microphones
of fs are and modinating live. Do it live from
the factors. We bring the wow factor unless we don't.
Every quarter hour, that's the goal from the Fox Sports
(01:32):
Radio studios, as approved by Ozzie Wiz, who likes this
show so much although it is a daytime show in Australia,
but he does go out of the way thereby he
bought a satellite hookup so he can listen to the
show live there out in the in the sticks, in
the middle of nowhere, surrounded by kangaroos. This portion of
the Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our
(01:52):
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they. I know Alfin and our friend
Ferdog big fans of that chip fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire
(02:14):
Buying Show be So our lead this hour, play the hits.
Play the hits. One of our bosses that likes to say,
back in the day, play the heads. Well man play this,
So we will play the hits and we begin with
Quarterback Injury Roulette for one thousand and a little rice
Crispy Snap crackle pop, Yeah, where do we start? Let's
(02:36):
see big money, Big money, no Whomi stop. All right,
we're gonna go to LA. That's what we're gonna start.
We started Los Angeles and problems for a former super
Bowl hero, former Super Bowl champion quarterback if you've not
heard yet, as things are not looking particularly good for
a quarterback that won the championship in LA a couple
(02:57):
of years back there, and the co coach is running interference.
So if you didn't follow this, Sean McVeigh, the head
coach of the Rams, knowing you can ram it all day,
ram it all night, and you can ram your quarterbacks
back into the ground where he's all messed up. So
Sean McVay walking the proverbial tight rope without a safety
(03:18):
net here protecting or attempting to protect Matthew Stafford, his
starting quarterback QB one. Remember the offseason when Tom Brady
took Matthew Stafford out in Montana and then a private
enclave there and they were trying to whine and dine
him and get him go to the Raiders. And then
Tom Brady had to settle for Gino Smith, Holy crap,
(03:42):
And there were other teams that were flirting with Matthew Stafford. Well,
he ended up going back to the Rams and now
he's not able to play. Say what, yeah, not able
to pay. We are about a month bout a month
away from the start of the NFL regular season. Matthew
Stafford's health a lingering cloud of doom over the Rams.
(04:04):
Is this the end of his career as a quarterback
in the NFL? Stafford has continued to be absent from
Ram training camp and he has an issue. Oh my
aching back, that's his issue. He's got back soreness. Now.
That prompted Sean McVeigh to describe the situationton as week
(04:25):
to week now. There was no official setback, there was
nothing stated. It might have been something, who knows, maybe
he bent over to get something in the kitchen and
the back snapped. But nonetheless, despite no official no official setback,
Matthew Stafford, thirty seven, has already now visited the spine specialists,
(04:47):
a specialist on the back twice twice. Now, that certainly
signals that this is not just a minor a minor bump.
There's something else going on, So let us discuss the question.
Rams coach Sean mcfay continuing to downplay to downplay Matthew
Stafford's back issues with the rams. What are your ears
(05:11):
tell you? What do your ears tell you? On this?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I've got rocket Fizz, Piping hot, and Homecoming King, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the Gabba Ghul. We're gonna make
the Gobba gol so A No, what did the years say?
I'll tell you what my yearsay. Listening between the words,
(05:35):
listening between the words here, it sounds like agony, absolute agony.
A week to week to me sounds like he's done,
he's out. That's it, that's code. That's coach speak. I've
been around too long. I've heard the coach speak for.
(05:55):
We are praying to the gods to make sure that
we get something to happen. We need to go into
the sorcerer's workshop here and cook up a spell for
Matthew Stafford. We have to find something magical because that
spine is toast and they know it. He's cooked. You
(06:16):
do not visit a spine specialist multiple times unless there
is something big time going on with that back there.
And why not. You look at the supporting evidence for
Matthew Stafford. He's in your seventeen, he's got the super
Bowl Championship there on his resume. He's got a lot
(06:40):
of touchdowns, a lot of broken body parts, and just
clued together. At this point, we're going to assume his
podcast wife there probably wants him to retire. So then
you've got Sean McVay in this soap opera. You've got
Sean McVay who's candy coating everything like he's working at
Rocket Fizz and he's, Oh, no, everything's good. Everything I
(07:02):
covered in sugar, We're good. Everything's all right here, and
he's trying to feed the ram fan who's just trying
to ram It all day and Ramond all night, trying
to feed the ram fan Jolly ranchers and then they're like, well, no,
this is not a Jolly Rancher situation. This is hot Tomali.
This is hot Tomali situation. Yeah, spicy, all right. So
(07:23):
you're trying to walk the thin line. You're trying to
walk the line from being optimistic pep by Sean McVay
to wait a minute, this is a disaster, so I
got to do disaster control. But actions do always speak
louder than words. We've had that mantra for a long time.
It's kind of everyone's good should have that mantra. So
Matthew Stafford has in practice, he hasn't thrown. He's essentially
(07:46):
just walking around like he's just walking the aisles at home,
deepot looking at stuff. And if I hear week to week,
week tw week one more time, I am going to
rip my headphones off my head and throw them against
the wall, is what I'm going to do. Week to week?
Week to week. Oh my god, that is the phrase
(08:07):
that you use as an NFL head coach when you
don't want to admit your porked. You don't want to
admit that. So yeah, week to week, Eh yeah, week
to week, my fat ass week to week. So the
rams are one and I got I gotta make sure
I say this properly because this is the number one
phrase that is messed up on people that give updates
(08:29):
on medical conditions involving the back. But the LA rams
are one bulging disc. I said it disc. They're one
bulging disc away from Jimmy Garoppolo under center. So you
talk about going from Frelemonreon to gas station beef jerky,
(08:50):
That's what Jimmy Garoppolo is at this point. Now, can
the Rams slap together a good season during the regular Yes,
they can, of course they can. Do you expect him
to go on a burner and to the championship? Unlikely?
Can they beat crappy teams like Seattle and Arizona and
the forty nine er? Sure? Those teams suck down the
line against the better opponents. That's the problem, right, you
(09:12):
have to become a defensive team. The Rams better become
a top five team. He's even a garoppolo place, He's
a porcelain doll. We know that the guy slips on
a wet leaf somewhere and he's in the injury tent,
camping out and all that stuff. So the Rams have
to have a dominant defensive team. As Stafford, it's not
(09:34):
looking so good at this point today. We do the
show today, and at this point today, based on the
available information we have, things are not looking good. Meanwhile,
speaking of not looking good, we go to Cleveland, where
it never looks good in terms of the football team,
and update a new update to the depth chart. I
know nothing more exciting, more compelling on talk radio than
(09:57):
the Cleveland Browns depth chart. Boy, we know how to
keep you satisfied as a consumer of overnight talk radio.
So the former Colorado star Shdur Sanders is right now buried.
He's buried on the Browns depth chart. He is currently
(10:18):
listed as the fourth string quarterback. So how does that taste?
How does that one taste? So that tastes like piping
hot fresh out of the oven. Humble pie is what
that is? Humble pie right there? You get a slice,
You get a slice, you get a lices. So Schener Sanders,
(10:38):
the next big thing in college, the prodigy, the amazing
prince of Prime and the spawn of Dion, all that stuff.
Four string on the worst team in the NFL, the
Cleveland Browns. You want to talk about an emasculation situation,
that would be that. And that's what happens when and
(11:00):
the hype does not match the tape and you apparently
do not get the red carpet rolled out for you
because your daddy was flashy in one sunglasses. If only
Shouldhur Sanders had been an NBA player, then he'd be
in really good shape, right like Brownie James sucks and
he's on the Lakers and all that. He can't play.
(11:21):
Should Sanders, though there's no guarantee, even makes the Cleveland
Browns at this particular point. And man, it appears that
despite the social media clout that Shouldeur Sanders has, the
coaches don't seem to care, his teammates don't seem to
care very much. And it's billed as a meritocracy. Now
we know that it's not always a meritocracy. At least
(11:43):
it should be, but it's not, and Shouldur has flunked
the eye test. So far. You get one shot, You
get one shot to make a first impression when you
start a new job, and it would appear, based on
the outside looking in, that he has tripped over his
own shoelaces, Sugar Sanders at this particular point. So now
(12:06):
I have watched some of the practice clips. Now, usually
they only send out the good stuff, they don't send
out the bad stuff and all that. But even from
what they've sent out, which you know is heavily edited
and things are left on the cutting room floor that
you probably should see. So there's nothing special from what
I've seen, so kind of reads things slowly, doesn't have
(12:28):
an amazing top flight arm and didn't see any of
that in the practice clips. And so much like we
were talking about the rams, sugar coating things with Matthew Stafford.
We don't need to sugarcoat things with sugar Sanders. You've
got Joe Flacco, who just checked on his Pro Football
Reference page, just turned four hundred years old, so happy birthday,
Joe Flacco. You've got Kenny Pickett, who sucks. And then
(12:52):
you've got Dylan Gabriel who's left handed, which should mean
that you're downgraded. You're left handed, and he barely got drafted,
yet was drafted ahead of Sherdar Sanders. So Shudur has
been unable to leap frog any of them. He's barely
ahead of Deshaun Watson Ben Watson game and play this year,
(13:13):
so man, what a mess. If shoulder it was the
real deal in practice, not a game, we would assume
he'd be getting more opportunities, more chances, and would be
higher up on the depth chart. But what do we know.
We just do the overnight show. And so it turns
out that at this point, despite all the big things
(13:34):
on the socials, this is the NFL, not some kind
of branding seminar. And you produce your fourth on the
depth chart and in danger of being gonzo see you later.
And he's not been the beacon of the Browns, which
some were anticipating. There he's at this point a footnote
(13:57):
and right now that book is that look with the
footnote there, that's closing rapidly. All right now, last word
to the gambling market.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We go.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, we love the gambling market in these parts,
and we can update, update the gambling odds. A very
popular storyline this time of the year. Who is going
to win the most Valuable Player of the year. You know,
they have that ceremony before the Super Bowl where they
have a red carpet event and everyone gets all dulled
up and they hand out all these awards and pat
(14:29):
each other on the ass and say how great you
are and all that. So, according to our friends at DraftKings,
a big sponsor of this radio show, we're grateful for that.
The people of ore DraftKings sportsbooks say, the public has spoken,
and you know who's the betting favorite according to the
public to be the most valuable player? Do you know
who this is? No, you want to take a guess
(14:50):
who do you think it is? Now you're wrong? Now
you're wrong. Yet, No, you're wrong. The correct answer if
you said, if you said Josh Allen mcbill's you're wrong. No,
it's Bengals. It's Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. That's the answer.
There plus six to fifty most popular pick by popular
(15:11):
people in the NFL gambling market, Twenty two percent of
the bets have come in for the Bengals quarterback Lamar Jackson,
a multi time platinum MVP winner himself, plus five point
fifty is behind Joe Burrow at twelve percent. Then you've
got Jayden Daniels of the Commanders, Patrick Mahomey. Patrick mahomes
(15:35):
is next, and then on the big board, a lot
of dumb people in Philadelphia betting on Jalen Hurts to
be the dumb dumb dumb dumb. Yeah, good luck on that.
So Joe Burrow at the very top. Lamar Jackson right
behind Joe Burrow among the most popular NFL MVP bets
(15:55):
at this particular point in time. What does that tell you?
So I'll go first. It tells me the same thing
it's told me every year since we started talking about this.
It is a PC situation. Popularity contest is what it is.
So you throw on a pair of Gucci shades and
(16:18):
you show up with the cigar. Got to have the stogy.
You got the cigar there and boom, you are the
people's champ. Right, you are the people's champ. Now, listen,
Joe Burrow, he's got the swag and all that, he's
got the arm, and when he is able to stay
upright in Cincinnati and not get tackled by a bowl
(16:38):
of Skyline chili thrown by just Josh or Justin in Cincinnati,
when he's able to avoid that, sure, things are pretty good.
Things are. Things are pretty good. He's right there, and
there's only a few quarterbacks that are at that upper
echelon in the NFL, and he's one of them. But
here's the rub on this, here's the rub. The thing
(17:01):
that bothers me is I was asked the other day
who I like is the MVP, and I picked Joe Burrow.
But I don't want to be on the side of
the public. The public is always wrong. I don't want
to be on the side of the public. You're betting
on Joe Burrow like he's already hoisting the trophy up
in February, and listen, I don't want to be on
your side. You've ruined that analysis for me that now
(17:25):
he's going to be brittle Joe Burrow, and he's gonna
get hurt and it's your fault. And now I'm going
to have to jump away from Burrow. And as far
as Lamar Jackson listened, Lamar's he's got the Hall of
Fame regular season numbers, not so much in the playoffs.
But Lamar Jackson two time Platinum MVP, he's second in bets.
But you look at the AFC North, the quarterbacks in
(17:48):
the AFC, nor two of them here, that division turning
into the Roman Colosseum with two of the top picks
to win the most valuable and then you've got like
washed up Aaron Rodgers and then the slop, the Cleveland
Browns are thrown out there. But man, those two. So
the betting public, the betting public loves a good story.
(18:10):
They love a good story, and they love the swagger Burrow,
the electricity of Lamar Jackson and all that stuff. However,
the MVP voting, it is not the homecoming King situation.
You do have to stay relatively healthy for the balance
of the seventeen week regular season that you play in.
(18:31):
And again, we love Burrow. We went with Burrow when
we were asked a while back, and so we've been
been Benny brightside on Joe Burrow for the MVP. The
public writing this one does bother it, bothers us, bothers
me a lot, and you know it might be time
to fade the hype on that one. So MVP betting,
(18:53):
MVP betting, the Ultimate Instagram Contest, Right Instagram contest, you know,
a little football all mixed in. They're just a little
little bit of football, just a teeny bit. And you're
always not supposed to bet with your heart. You're not
supposed to bet with your heart. And of course the
casinos want you to bet with your heart because you're
a loser. When you bet with your heart, you lose
(19:14):
much more than you win, so they want you to
do that. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

i'm saying it's only a matter of.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Time are you?

mooky bets of sports radio. Callers that's What andrew, is
the mooky bets of sports radio. Callers right? There that is?
It right? There all, Right, well we're off to a great.
Start the phones are just. Wonderful why DID i give
(31:05):
out the number? Again why exactly DID i give out the?
Numbers anyone?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Know?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Anyway eight seven seven ninety nine On fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six nine if you
want to be part so not a good sign when
you haven't played a game yet in the regular season
and already people are freaking out that you likely are
going to go. Bankrupt and, well that would be the
new lead running back for The, Raiders Ashton, genty who's
(31:35):
penlly the real estate market, booming going to purchase a
fifteen million dollar mansion in the state Of nevada and
he's a twenty one year old. Rookie a fifteen million dollar.
Mansion genty signing a four, year fully guaranteed. Contract the
(32:00):
signing bonus twenty two point seven. Million but people doing the,
math crunching the numbers on this and looking at the
housing market In Las vegas and putting two and two
together and, saying what THE f is going? On what
the f is going on in The ashton genty real estate. Deal,
(32:22):
now whether or not the fifteen million dollar price tag
is financially feasible based on the rookie, contract you have
to factor in property taxes and the fact that most
running backs don't make it in THE, nfl and there's
very few people that can afford to buy a fifteen
million dollar. House, well if you buy a nice five
(32:45):
hundred thousand dollar, house there's a lot of people that
can afford those. Things so, yeah even IF, i like
they actually paid me What i'm worth around here AND
i had enough money to buy a house like, THAT
i don't THINK i would BECAUSE i would not want.
IT i would not want to deal with the property
taxes on that and the upkeep on those. Things you,
know it WAS i want to live in A i
(33:06):
want to live in a castle In, paris until you, realize,
well that's a you, know five six hundred years old or,
whatever and you have to fix. It up and keep
it maintained and do the. Maintenance and that's just paying the,
ass so absolute. Pans you know, what it's not the
pain of the ass that would be the play of the.
Night and that leads us into the tire act play
(33:27):
of the. Night and remember when The Chicago cubs won
The World series and they had all these young star
players and the future was. Bright, well it turns out
only one of those Young cub players really turned out

Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb burrowod Our, one
of the original Recipe podcast, and a happy, happy Tuesday
to you as we begin to do this hour on
the Ben Mather Show. And here in hour number one,
RAMS coach Sean McVeigh continues to downplay Matthew Stafford's back injury.
(00:22):
What do your ears tell you? Also, quarterback Shear Sanders
is buried on the Browns depth chart. How does that taste?
And Joe Burrow Lamar Jackson are among the most popular
NFL MVP bets. What do you think about that? We'll
talk about that as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number one. There
(00:49):
has been one NFL exhibition game so far, and already
the quarterback injuries piling up, up, up and away. Welcome
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere making a connection as
(01:11):
we are flailing and bailing coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the mast and magically powerful microphones
of fs are and modinating live. Do it live from
the factors. We bring the wow factor unless we don't.
Every quarter hour, that's the goal from the Fox Sports
(01:32):
Radio studios, as approved by Ozzie Wiz, who likes this
show so much although it is a daytime show in Australia,
but he does go out of the way thereby he
bought a satellite hookup so he can listen to the
show live there out in the in the sticks, in
the middle of nowhere, surrounded by kangaroos. This portion of
the Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our
(01:52):
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they. I know Alfin and our friend
Ferdog big fans of that chip fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire
(02:14):
Buying Show be So our lead this hour, play the hits.
Play the hits. One of our bosses that likes to say,
back in the day, play the heads. Well man play this,
So we will play the hits and we begin with
Quarterback Injury Roulette for one thousand and a little rice
Crispy Snap crackle pop, Yeah, where do we start? Let's
(02:36):
see big money, Big money, no Whomi stop. All right,
we're gonna go to LA. That's what we're gonna start.
We started Los Angeles and problems for a former super
Bowl hero, former Super Bowl champion quarterback if you've not
heard yet, as things are not looking particularly good for
a quarterback that won the championship in LA a couple
(02:57):
of years back there, and the co coach is running interference.
So if you didn't follow this, Sean McVeigh, the head
coach of the Rams, knowing you can ram it all day,
ram it all night, and you can ram your quarterbacks
back into the ground where he's all messed up. So
Sean McVay walking the proverbial tight rope without a safety
(03:18):
net here protecting or attempting to protect Matthew Stafford, his
starting quarterback QB one. Remember the offseason when Tom Brady
took Matthew Stafford out in Montana and then a private
enclave there and they were trying to whine and dine
him and get him go to the Raiders. And then
Tom Brady had to settle for Gino Smith, Holy crap,
(03:42):
And there were other teams that were flirting with Matthew Stafford. Well,
he ended up going back to the Rams and now
he's not able to play. Say what, yeah, not able
to pay. We are about a month bout a month
away from the start of the NFL regular season. Matthew
Stafford's health a lingering cloud of doom over the Rams.
(04:04):
Is this the end of his career as a quarterback
in the NFL? Stafford has continued to be absent from
Ram training camp and he has an issue. Oh my
aching back, that's his issue. He's got back soreness. Now.
That prompted Sean McVeigh to describe the situationton as week
(04:25):
to week now. There was no official setback, there was
nothing stated. It might have been something, who knows, maybe
he bent over to get something in the kitchen and
the back snapped. But nonetheless, despite no official no official setback,
Matthew Stafford, thirty seven, has already now visited the spine specialists,
(04:47):
a specialist on the back twice twice. Now, that certainly
signals that this is not just a minor a minor bump.
There's something else going on, So let us discuss the question.
Rams coach Sean mcfay continuing to downplay to downplay Matthew
Stafford's back issues with the rams. What are your ears
(05:11):
tell you? What do your ears tell you? On this?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I've got rocket Fizz, Piping hot, and Homecoming King, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the Gabba Ghul. We're gonna make
the Gobba gol so A No, what did the years say?
I'll tell you what my yearsay. Listening between the words,
(05:35):
listening between the words here, it sounds like agony, absolute agony.
A week to week to me sounds like he's done,
he's out. That's it, that's code. That's coach speak. I've
been around too long. I've heard the coach speak for.
(05:55):
We are praying to the gods to make sure that
we get something to happen. We need to go into
the sorcerer's workshop here and cook up a spell for
Matthew Stafford. We have to find something magical because that
spine is toast and they know it. He's cooked. You
(06:16):
do not visit a spine specialist multiple times unless there
is something big time going on with that back there.
And why not. You look at the supporting evidence for
Matthew Stafford. He's in your seventeen, he's got the super
Bowl Championship there on his resume. He's got a lot
(06:40):
of touchdowns, a lot of broken body parts, and just
clued together. At this point, we're going to assume his
podcast wife there probably wants him to retire. So then
you've got Sean McVay in this soap opera. You've got
Sean McVay who's candy coating everything like he's working at
Rocket Fizz and he's, Oh, no, everything's good. Everything I
(07:02):
covered in sugar, We're good. Everything's all right here, and
he's trying to feed the ram fan who's just trying
to ram It all day and Ramond all night, trying
to feed the ram fan Jolly ranchers and then they're like, well, no,
this is not a Jolly Rancher situation. This is hot Tomali.
This is hot Tomali situation. Yeah, spicy, all right. So
(07:23):
you're trying to walk the thin line. You're trying to
walk the line from being optimistic pep by Sean McVay
to wait a minute, this is a disaster, so I
got to do disaster control. But actions do always speak
louder than words. We've had that mantra for a long time.
It's kind of everyone's good should have that mantra. So
Matthew Stafford has in practice, he hasn't thrown. He's essentially
(07:46):
just walking around like he's just walking the aisles at home,
deepot looking at stuff. And if I hear week to week,
week tw week one more time, I am going to
rip my headphones off my head and throw them against
the wall, is what I'm going to do. Week to week?
Week to week. Oh my god, that is the phrase
(08:07):
that you use as an NFL head coach when you
don't want to admit your porked. You don't want to
admit that. So yeah, week to week, Eh yeah, week
to week, my fat ass week to week. So the
rams are one and I got I gotta make sure
I say this properly because this is the number one
phrase that is messed up on people that give updates
(08:29):
on medical conditions involving the back. But the LA rams
are one bulging disc. I said it disc. They're one
bulging disc away from Jimmy Garoppolo under center. So you
talk about going from Frelemonreon to gas station beef jerky,
(08:50):
That's what Jimmy Garoppolo is at this point. Now, can
the Rams slap together a good season during the regular Yes,
they can, of course they can. Do you expect him
to go on a burner and to the championship? Unlikely?
Can they beat crappy teams like Seattle and Arizona and
the forty nine er? Sure? Those teams suck down the
line against the better opponents. That's the problem, right, you
(09:12):
have to become a defensive team. The Rams better become
a top five team. He's even a garoppolo place, He's
a porcelain doll. We know that the guy slips on
a wet leaf somewhere and he's in the injury tent,
camping out and all that stuff. So the Rams have
to have a dominant defensive team. As Stafford, it's not
(09:34):
looking so good at this point today. We do the
show today, and at this point today, based on the
available information we have, things are not looking good. Meanwhile,
speaking of not looking good, we go to Cleveland, where
it never looks good in terms of the football team,
and update a new update to the depth chart. I
know nothing more exciting, more compelling on talk radio than
(09:57):
the Cleveland Browns depth chart. Boy, we know how to
keep you satisfied as a consumer of overnight talk radio.
So the former Colorado star Shdur Sanders is right now buried.
He's buried on the Browns depth chart. He is currently
(10:18):
listed as the fourth string quarterback. So how does that taste?
How does that one taste? So that tastes like piping
hot fresh out of the oven. Humble pie is what
that is? Humble pie right there? You get a slice,
You get a slice, you get a lices. So Schener Sanders,
(10:38):
the next big thing in college, the prodigy, the amazing
prince of Prime and the spawn of Dion, all that stuff.
Four string on the worst team in the NFL, the
Cleveland Browns. You want to talk about an emasculation situation,
that would be that. And that's what happens when and
(11:00):
the hype does not match the tape and you apparently
do not get the red carpet rolled out for you
because your daddy was flashy in one sunglasses. If only
Shouldhur Sanders had been an NBA player, then he'd be
in really good shape, right like Brownie James sucks and
he's on the Lakers and all that. He can't play.
(11:21):
Should Sanders, though there's no guarantee, even makes the Cleveland
Browns at this particular point. And man, it appears that
despite the social media clout that Shouldeur Sanders has, the
coaches don't seem to care, his teammates don't seem to
care very much. And it's billed as a meritocracy. Now
we know that it's not always a meritocracy. At least
(11:43):
it should be, but it's not, and Shouldur has flunked
the eye test. So far. You get one shot, You
get one shot to make a first impression when you
start a new job, and it would appear, based on
the outside looking in, that he has tripped over his
own shoelaces, Sugar Sanders at this particular point. So now
(12:06):
I have watched some of the practice clips. Now, usually
they only send out the good stuff, they don't send
out the bad stuff and all that. But even from
what they've sent out, which you know is heavily edited
and things are left on the cutting room floor that
you probably should see. So there's nothing special from what
I've seen, so kind of reads things slowly, doesn't have
(12:28):
an amazing top flight arm and didn't see any of
that in the practice clips. And so much like we
were talking about the rams, sugar coating things with Matthew Stafford.
We don't need to sugarcoat things with sugar Sanders. You've
got Joe Flacco, who just checked on his Pro Football
Reference page, just turned four hundred years old, so happy birthday,
Joe Flacco. You've got Kenny Pickett, who sucks. And then
(12:52):
you've got Dylan Gabriel who's left handed, which should mean
that you're downgraded. You're left handed, and he barely got drafted,
yet was drafted ahead of Sherdar Sanders. So Shudur has
been unable to leap frog any of them. He's barely
ahead of Deshaun Watson Ben Watson game and play this year,
(13:13):
so man, what a mess. If shoulder it was the
real deal in practice, not a game, we would assume
he'd be getting more opportunities, more chances, and would be
higher up on the depth chart. But what do we know.
We just do the overnight show. And so it turns
out that at this point, despite all the big things
(13:34):
on the socials, this is the NFL, not some kind
of branding seminar. And you produce your fourth on the
depth chart and in danger of being gonzo see you later.
And he's not been the beacon of the Browns, which
some were anticipating. There he's at this point a footnote
(13:57):
and right now that book is that look with the
footnote there, that's closing rapidly. All right now, last word
to the gambling market.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We go.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, we love the gambling market in these parts,
and we can update, update the gambling odds. A very
popular storyline this time of the year. Who is going
to win the most Valuable Player of the year. You know,
they have that ceremony before the Super Bowl where they
have a red carpet event and everyone gets all dulled
up and they hand out all these awards and pat
(14:29):
each other on the ass and say how great you
are and all that. So, according to our friends at DraftKings,
a big sponsor of this radio show, we're grateful for that.
The people of ore DraftKings sportsbooks say, the public has spoken,
and you know who's the betting favorite according to the
public to be the most valuable player? Do you know
who this is? No, you want to take a guess
(14:50):
who do you think it is? Now you're wrong? Now
you're wrong. Yet, No, you're wrong. The correct answer if
you said, if you said Josh Allen mcbill's you're wrong. No,
it's Bengals. It's Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. That's the answer.
There plus six to fifty most popular pick by popular
(15:11):
people in the NFL gambling market, Twenty two percent of
the bets have come in for the Bengals quarterback Lamar Jackson,
a multi time platinum MVP winner himself, plus five point
fifty is behind Joe Burrow at twelve percent. Then you've
got Jayden Daniels of the Commanders, Patrick Mahomey. Patrick mahomes
(15:35):
is next, and then on the big board, a lot
of dumb people in Philadelphia betting on Jalen Hurts to
be the dumb dumb dumb dumb. Yeah, good luck on that.
So Joe Burrow at the very top. Lamar Jackson right
behind Joe Burrow among the most popular NFL MVP bets
(15:55):
at this particular point in time. What does that tell you?
So I'll go first. It tells me the same thing
it's told me every year since we started talking about this.
It is a PC situation. Popularity contest is what it is.
So you throw on a pair of Gucci shades and
(16:18):
you show up with the cigar. Got to have the stogy.
You got the cigar there and boom, you are the
people's champ. Right, you are the people's champ. Now, listen,
Joe Burrow, he's got the swag and all that, he's
got the arm, and when he is able to stay
upright in Cincinnati and not get tackled by a bowl
(16:38):
of Skyline chili thrown by just Josh or Justin in Cincinnati,
when he's able to avoid that, sure, things are pretty good.
Things are. Things are pretty good. He's right there, and
there's only a few quarterbacks that are at that upper
echelon in the NFL, and he's one of them. But
here's the rub on this, here's the rub. The thing
(17:01):
that bothers me is I was asked the other day
who I like is the MVP, and I picked Joe Burrow.
But I don't want to be on the side of
the public. The public is always wrong. I don't want
to be on the side of the public. You're betting
on Joe Burrow like he's already hoisting the trophy up
in February, and listen, I don't want to be on
your side. You've ruined that analysis for me that now
(17:25):
he's going to be brittle Joe Burrow, and he's gonna
get hurt and it's your fault. And now I'm going
to have to jump away from Burrow. And as far
as Lamar Jackson listened, Lamar's he's got the Hall of
Fame regular season numbers, not so much in the playoffs.
But Lamar Jackson two time Platinum MVP, he's second in bets.
But you look at the AFC North, the quarterbacks in
(17:48):
the AFC, nor two of them here, that division turning
into the Roman Colosseum with two of the top picks
to win the most valuable and then you've got like
washed up Aaron Rodgers and then the slop, the Cleveland
Browns are thrown out there. But man, those two. So
the betting public, the betting public loves a good story.
(18:10):
They love a good story, and they love the swagger Burrow,
the electricity of Lamar Jackson and all that stuff. However,
the MVP voting, it is not the homecoming King situation.
You do have to stay relatively healthy for the balance
of the seventeen week regular season that you play in.
(18:31):
And again, we love Burrow. We went with Burrow when
we were asked a while back, and so we've been
been Benny brightside on Joe Burrow for the MVP. The
public writing this one does bother it, bothers us, bothers
me a lot, and you know it might be time
to fade the hype on that one. So MVP betting,
(18:53):
MVP betting, the Ultimate Instagram Contest, Right Instagram contest, you know,
a little football all mixed in. They're just a little
little bit of football, just a teeny bit. And you're
always not supposed to bet with your heart. You're not
supposed to bet with your heart. And of course the
casinos want you to bet with your heart because you're
a loser. When you bet with your heart, you lose
(19:14):
much more than you win, so they want you to
do that. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

dodgers have. FALLEN i got guys Like sal calling me,
up and they got a chubby because they got good
starts and they lost the. Game my, god how. Pathetic
that's The. Dodgers that's The. Dodgers how About Rookie. Betts
let me tell you. Something let me tell you hola
(26:23):
sec hold on a. Sec SO i got this Jackass Dave,
roberts who nobody in THE la media has balls to.
Criticize Dave, roberts who's Like Rookie betts blows he's. TERRIBLE
i don't care how much money's. Making he. Sucks whatever
the reason, is he's terrible this. Year And Dave roberts
is so, stubborn HE'S i gotta Kill i'm not gonna
(26:45):
take him out of the top two in the. Lineup, no,
no Dam. DAVE i gotta Keep Mookie betts in the top.
Two you've got a hole in the lineup and you
won't change. It why explain that to? Me i'm not that.
Smart can you explained that to? Me, Said i'm not that?
Bright you explain why over For. Mookie it's shocking when
he doesn't go for. FOUR i think something must be
(27:07):
wrong With Mookie best when he doesn't go for.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Four, honestly And diard Doder, FAN i can't even explain
that to, you. Man, honestly it is it is uh.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Like it's one of the great. Mysteries, no it is
what you're saying, here sal is it's one of the
great mysteries of The western. World, Right LIKE i understand veteran.
Respect he won a bunch Of All Star. GAMES i
get all that, Crap but what are you doing for
me right?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Now come back to.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Field that's pretty much what, WELL i.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Mean that's that's one. Issue but either, way the way he's,
hitting you you have to put him down the lineup
like what you're you're just effing everything, up you. Know i'm.
SORRY i saw. THAT i saw. THAT i saw that.
Quote Dave. Roberts you gotta be kidding. Me this is the.
Equivalent you know what that, is sal that's the. EQUIVALENT
(27:58):
i really liked him in that, spot which is the
Classic Dave roberts quote when pitchers would come in and
they would vomit all over the mound and then after
the game in the, Playoffs, ROBERTS i really liked him
in that. Spot, well, well good, luck. Congratulations so, Anyway Mookie.
Bets by the, way Oh i'm not done last thirty,
Games Mookie, bets IS i believe hitting if my math
(28:19):
is right under one seventy for the last month And
Dave roberts, says, No i'm gonna leave him in. There
i'm gonna leave him in. There he was hitting one
seventy four to the last twenty nine games prior to
the game On Monday night which he went over. For
SO i think that'll put him under a buck. Seventy so,
yep all, right but, Hey Blake, snell look good and
glass now look? Good, right Sal they, did definitely did they?
(28:43):
Did they? Did all, right all, right thank? You all, Right,
yeah you've already triggered. Me let's go To andrew In Baker's.

our friend the ambassador who called up last week and
cursed on the. Air, hello what's going? On? Andrew? Welcome what's?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Up? Then, Okay so the REASON i would think That
Dave roberts hasn't moved.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Him, oh here we, go this is this is THE
pr director of The dodgers, Here. Andrew why don't you
just send your resume over to The DODGER pr. Department
maybe they'll hire you to polish the Third mookie bets go, ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Okay is because he's a star and it's only a
moment of.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Uh he's batting one seventy for the last twenty nine.
Games it's actually lower than that now because the last thirty.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Games but for the season he's at two, thirty Which
i'm saying it's only a matter of.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Time are you?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
STUPID i don't think, so.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Really because you sound.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Stupid what does that, mean.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You sell like an, idiot like why would You why
would you say it was only a matter Of why
is it a matter of? That people were saying it
was a matter of time when he sucked In, april
it is Now. August he still, blows, like what more
do you? Need it's not happening this year For Mookie.
Bets it's Not it's. Over he's, cooked he's. Done he
looks washed.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Up, Okay, Well i'd like to comment on your hot
take About Joe burrow being THE mvp. There he said
that you never trust the, public, right But Colin coward
says the exact. Opposite it's like a sound.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Clip, Well coward's an overnight. Show for. Me i'm sleeping
when he's, on SO i don't know anything that he.
SAYS i get quick clips of different, things he says
WHEN i wake, up But i'm not, awake so you
Can AM i supposed to bow down to The? God Colin?
COWARD i don't have my own. SHOW i don't care
About you're supposed to take his? Clips. BEND i don't.
(30:39):
Know AM i supposed to take his? Clips? Andrew AM
i supposed to bow down to the God? Jesus Colin
coward is? That what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Here?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Uh, no, okay then who cares What Colin? COWARDS i,
mean my, god, seriously you know What andrew is the
mooky bets of sports radio. Callers that's What andrew, is
the mooky bets of sports radio. Callers right? There that is?
It right? There all, Right, well we're off to a great.
Start the phones are just. Wonderful why DID i give
(31:05):
out the number? Again why exactly DID i give out the?
Numbers anyone?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Know?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Anyway eight seven seven ninety nine On fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six nine if you
want to be part so not a good sign when
you haven't played a game yet in the regular season
and already people are freaking out that you likely are
going to go. Bankrupt and, well that would be the
new lead running back for The, Raiders Ashton, genty who's
(31:35):
penlly the real estate market, booming going to purchase a
fifteen million dollar mansion in the state Of nevada and
he's a twenty one year old. Rookie a fifteen million dollar.
Mansion genty signing a four, year fully guaranteed. Contract the
(32:00):
signing bonus twenty two point seven. Million but people doing the,
math crunching the numbers on this and looking at the
housing market In Las vegas and putting two and two
together and, saying what THE f is going? On what
the f is going on in The ashton genty real estate. Deal,
(32:22):
now whether or not the fifteen million dollar price tag
is financially feasible based on the rookie, contract you have
to factor in property taxes and the fact that most
running backs don't make it in THE, nfl and there's
very few people that can afford to buy a fifteen
million dollar. House, well if you buy a nice five
(32:45):
hundred thousand dollar, house there's a lot of people that
can afford those. Things so, yeah even IF, i like
they actually paid me What i'm worth around here AND
i had enough money to buy a house like, THAT
i don't THINK i would BECAUSE i would not want.
IT i would not want to deal with the property
taxes on that and the upkeep on those. Things you,
know it WAS i want to live in A i
(33:06):
want to live in a castle In, paris until you, realize,
well that's a you, know five six hundred years old or,
whatever and you have to fix. It up and keep
it maintained and do the. Maintenance and that's just paying the,
ass so absolute. Pans you know, what it's not the
pain of the ass that would be the play of the.
Night and that leads us into the tire act play
(33:27):
of the. Night and remember when The Chicago cubs won
The World series and they had all these young star
players and the future was. Bright, well it turns out
only one of those Young cub players really turned out
to have a full career of dominance and he's still
getting it done for the fighting fills swung, on belted.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
High and, deep and it's another Grand slam For Kyle
schwarmer and what away to hit number forty on the
season eleven to Three. PHILLIES i call On Billy's, Radio
Kyle schwarber doing it. Again, boy that guy's been monster
mashing for a bunch of teams over the years and
(34:08):
up to forty home. Runs now he is a free.
AGENT i believe at the end of the year he
was with The Red sox. Briefly that was a good
decision by their front office not to bring him. Back
But Kyle Schwarber's Grand slam couple home, runs the play
of The Night Tire Rack play The. Night for over forty,
years Ty iraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for, how what and where they, drive ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
(34:29):
