Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our number one, our one of the original
Recipe podcast. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day, the twelfth day
of the month of March. We were up all night
recording this podcast to give you fresh pod content.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Here in our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Why have Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers been unable to
find common ground? It seemed like it was almost done
about a day ago, and now there's some problems between
Rogers and the Steelers. Talk of the Vikings and the
Giants getting involved now. Also, how do you categorize Russell
Wilson and how he relates in this Aaron Rodgers free
(00:41):
agency saga?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And we'll go to the wide receiver world.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What do you make of the story about Chris Godwin
leaving an extra twenty million on the table, possibly by
New England to stay in Tampa. He said nine out
of ten people would not have done what he did.
We'll talk about all that and more right now as
we pass you the rock here in our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is a standoff.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Roger that welcome in the beginning of yet another night
of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air
everywhere chilling in the audio world. Got it? Just a chair,
the only show in town coast coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and downright powerful microphones of
(01:39):
FSR emmating live from the depot, the smoke depot, These
takes burning up the powerful transmitters of Fox Sports Radio
as we are hanging out with you and we're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com
will help you get aaron unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
(02:03):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stallers.
I know, mikey Cano, don't you know impressed by that
tire raq dot com the way tire buying show me.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So it's kind of like a soap opera this time
of the year. I think you'd agree right and pay
attention to this crap. And this time it's all about
the NFL, the new league year.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Players getting paid massive amounts of money, other players getting
fired from their jobs. And there's this great juxtaposition in
the NFL where a lot of people are getting paid
by other people are not getting paid. But our lead
is from mister Rogers neighborhood. We're gonna take the trolley
into mister Rogers neighborhood. There now when we left the
studio during our previous episode of the show, when we
(02:50):
walked out of the studio, we were relatively confident. By
the time the afternoon came around, airin Rogers has was
going to get a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He was going to have a deal done.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But between the time that we turned off the microphones
and walked out of the building into the parking lot,
got in the cards, rove to the north Woods, went
to bed, woke up. By the time we woke up,
deal would have been done and everything said Steelers, Steelers, Steelers.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
We wait.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The plot thickens if you've not heard the latest Bumpkus
radio silence, which you're not supposed to have when you're
doing talk radio radio silence. So Aaron Rodgers said, to
be still this late hour, waist deep in deliberation and
negotiation with the Pittsburgh football team as he decides his
(03:40):
next chess move in free agency.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And so much for the reporting that he was not
going to play.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Not only is Rogers planning on playing, he's got multiple
teams that are trying to get his rotting carcass on
their roster. Considering how bad Rogers was with the Jets,
It's fascinating that there are multiple teams that are trying
to get Aaron Rodgers in the uniform. So based on
the conflicting reports in the overnight here, Rogers is said
(04:09):
to be an impass with the Insurs. The other team
involved the Giants. There's also some chatter that don't discount
the Minnesota vikings. So what exactly Let's focus in on
the black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow.
So what exactly is the hang up in the burg?
(04:29):
So as we discussed this, the question why cut to
the chase? Why have Aaron Rodgers camp and these Steelers
been unable to find common ground? So I've got promo
Code Pigeon and Uncle Sam and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:50):
delicious Saint Patti's Day's cookies. Now I've not had one
of those Saint Patti Day's cookie but there's a big
box in the other room.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
More on that later.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And if that that doesn't work, we'll put those together
and make some parogis.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You know, because you think Pittsburgh, you think parogis. Why not?
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So A the working theory is that the Yenser's front
office has sticker shock they have.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They have sometimes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I know most people do shopping online these days, but
sometimes you'll go to the store old school we called
old school.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And in the old world.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You used to have to gohoes place called like malls
and whatnot, and you'd have to find stuff in the
store and you couldn't really price around. So the Steelers,
it's a case of the best laid plans of mice
men and NFL executives often go a right. So everyone assumed,
now you know what happened, and you assume everyone assumed
(05:46):
the position that Aaron Rodgers was willing to play for
peanuts with the Rams, right, the Rams. The story was
a couple of weeks ago that Matthew Stafford was going
to go play for the Giants or the and then
the Rams. We're gonna sign Aaron Rodgers, and he was
gonna give the Rams a sweetheart deal because he wanted
(06:06):
to play with Sean McVay and Poka Nakua and that
was the way it went. Well, we know Stafford did
the old headfake and said, psych, I'm gonna actually stay
with the Rams, and he took a contract that was
a little less than he could have gotten elsewhere, so
we know that to be true. So Mike Tomlin and
really just the Steeler front office. Not know how much
Mike Tomlin's involved in this. It's the Steeler front office here,
(06:30):
the Rooney family and whatnot. They're trying to find the
promo code. They want the promo code the Rams are
gonna use. They had the promo code. The Rams gonna
use that promo code. And at this point these Steelers
are like, Hey, didn't you used to sell insurance? Can
we get that discount? Double check? Can we get that
we'd like to discount double check. Now it sounds like
(06:51):
Rogers is being pig headed, which is fine. I mean,
if you've got multiple teams and you know your value,
I don't have a I'm with that. He can say
he's a douche and all that. But the Rodgers is
in a position of strength here and he wants to
get the market rate. That's the hypothesis going around right now.
(07:11):
And there's no coupon because you're in western Pennsylvania and
you've got the cool logo on one side of the
helmet and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And so Rogers, if.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We're reading the room properly, believes he's got all of
these teams by the foot balls, if you will, here,
and he's the last veteran quarterback who doesn't one hundred
percent blow. Okay, so there's other veteran quarterbacks, but they
all have coodies. Now, Rogers, you could argue, has a
lot of stank from being in the cockpit with the Jets. However,
(07:46):
it does not appear to be affecting his value at
this particular point and his advanced age in the athletic
kingdom all right now, page two.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So you've got the Yin and the Yang, the Yin
and the Yang.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So the Yin and the Yang, you got air Rogers
and what's going on between the Steelers and the Giants
are lurking in the in the weeds if Rogers wants
to stay in New Jersey and play more bad football
and totally destroy both New York.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Teams or New Jersey teams.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So the other part of this is how do you
categorize the latest developments as they relate to Russell Wilson,
the former, you could argue, incumbent Steelers quarterback who is
out there in free agency right now, So how does
his situation change based on everything that's going on. So
(08:35):
I think of mister mister unlimited Russell Wilson like a pigeon,
and I just bear with me on this. He's an
old fashioned stool pigeon. At this particular point, he's playing
the waiting game. He has no other options. Russell Wilson's
got no other options. He's not going to sign first,
(08:55):
He's going to sign last. And he is in in
this littlecttionercise. He's a decoy at least. The Steelers are
trying to sell Rogers and his reps that they could
always pivot back to Russell Wilson. They in fact, we
know that to be true because the Steelers leak to
(09:15):
their useful idiots otherwise known as beat writers the story,
and that's the story they wanted to get out, that
Russell Wilson could go back and all that. So Russ
is in afterthought as he should be, as he should
be the way he played in an absolute embarrassment down
the stretch for the Steelers. So in this exercise, Russ
(09:36):
will be the last one pick the last ones.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I know about that. When I was in elementary school,
I was like the last.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
One picked, and I know what it's like to be
overlooked and all that have been there. I do the
Overnight show and yeah, so that's where we are now,
all right, last word, we go quickly to Tampa, the
Tampa Saint Pete area. The Buccaneer pirate ship locked in
(10:03):
this week their wide receiver, Chris Godwin, a godlike figure.
He was a free agent, and the story from the
last couple of days was Chris Godwin had plenty of
opportunities to leave the state of Florida and go somewhere
else and get the riches of Solomon. He decided he
did not want the riches of Solomon. So it's hard
(10:24):
to say that he got a raw deal, as Godwin
got a three year contract for sixty six million, but
forty four million of that Chris Godwin deal is garan teed,
so that's how much he actually got. But he believes
that others would not have settled for that. In fact,
that Godwin, speaking to the microphones and cameras in Tampa,
(10:47):
said it boiled down to family and just staying true
to who I am was the quote. He then said
that nine out of ten people in his position would
not have necessarily made this decision, meaning that he's somehow
in the top percentile of morally correct people because he
(11:09):
took less money even though he got forty four million guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Should we have a bake sale for Chris Godwin? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So yeah, the chatter is Godwin could have made an
extra twenty million dollars. Now, the speculation is that the
New England football team, the Patsy's, offered Chris Godwin. I
think they're called the Patriots, but the way they played recently,
the back to me in the patsis. So the chatter
is the Patriots are the ones that offered Chris Godwin
(11:38):
that money money money, So.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What do you make of the story? Now?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Including some quotes from Chris Godwin saying that he essentially left,
he confirmed the story that he left in the neighborhood
of twenty million dollars from New England on the table
to stay in Tampa, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm
skeptical that this is true.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And it seems like there's a lot of semantics involved
in this, and so my BS detective started going.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Just like that when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Methinks the football player is a little too braggadocious. Methinks, Yeah,
like you'd be the biggest dingleberry in the world to
reject an extra twenty million dollars. All things being the same,
you're doing the same sport and all that stuff. And
it's not like Baker Mayfield is the second coming. He's fine.
He's an average NFL quarterback. He's not that great, but
(12:39):
he's not terrible. He's just kind of there, all right.
So it's not like you're playing with Mahomes or regular
season Lamar Jackson or somebody like that. You're playing with
Baker Mayfield. He's fine, but you're gonna leave twenty million
on the table here. You're affecting future generations of the family.
So what's going on here? I think he's being completely transparent.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, I do. I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's more likely than not, based on my read of
the situation, that there is a concophony of fine print
involved in this, meaning Uncle Sam or go. Let's say
it's Florida versus, as Bill Belichick called it, Taxachusetts. In
that tax situation, the state income tax in Florida is,
(13:28):
I think we can all agree, a really good state
income tax, zero percent. It's really good, really that's what
you want, right, you want zero percent?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's that's what they've got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Zero percent Massachusetts or Taxachusetts is Bill Belichick called it famously.
The income tax plus the jock tax is nine percent.
So right off the top, that's nine percent. Now, if
you do some mal or math and you futs around
with the numbers, let's say that Godwin had an offer of.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Around eighty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
In that neighborhood from the Patriots and sixty six million
from Tampa, And you can futs around with the numbers,
put your taxation in there and all that. And also
you don't know how much of the money from the
Patriots was guaranteed. Is it funny money? Is it fake money?
There's a lot of filler.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's like hot dogs. They put a lot of filler
in there with these contracts.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So Godwin, he has to come back from that devastating
ankle injury, so who knows, he's damaged goods until proven otherwise.
And that ended his twenty twenty four season. The bit
short it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like

But eventually, let's just put everyone in the tournament. Isn't
that where that that's headed everyone? He gets in So
I tease and if you tease something, you got to
pay it off. We're talking about the cheesehead advice chiefs
head to cheese head advice or is it cheese head
on cheese head crime. Well, Brett Farve has entered the
(19:38):
chat Packer legend Brett Farve, and he has decided to
encourage Aaron Rodgers to sign with one NFL team. In particular,
he said, by all means, he wants to see Aaron
Rodgers go to this team. Is this team A the
Pittsburgh Steelers, Is this team B the New York Giants?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Or is it see mystery team? Yeah, that is correct.
It would be answersy Brett Farv encouraging Aaron Rodgers to
sign with the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know how Femi
feels about that, or hollering James or Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
or and his other guy. The great listeners we have
in the Twin cities there as we dominate the radio
(20:27):
dial when everyone's sleeping there at Minnesota. But Brett Farv
saying that he'd like to see and that's called the
the Farv career arc. He said, by all means, sign
with the Vikings. They're loaded at pretty much every position.
Farv said, Now that's the same career that Farv had.
(20:48):
He went from the remember he went back in the day.
He went from the Packers to the Jets, and then
he had a problem with his mister microphone, and then
he went over to the.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
To the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
He had a brief renaissance, Yes, brief renaissance, and I
had some success there in Minnesota, and then it all,
it all went away.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
People are saying the Vikings are lurking in the shadows,
but they're not getting a lot of attention. All the
attention is about the black and yellow, black and yellow,
black and yellow bill, the black and yellow and the giants.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
To the phones.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
We go and we go now to Taxachusetts and we
say hello to Andre in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hello, Andre, welcome.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
How are you ben?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Good to be with you this evening taxa choosets, you know,
it kind of it's a double edged sword, you know
here in the Commonwealth. You know, talking a little bit
of economics, we do lead the nation in education and innovation,
a number of important categories, never mind what's going on nationally,
but the cost of living here, income wealth specifically, you know,
(21:52):
it is up there. So it's a debate on both sides.
You know, we have things that we're quite proud of
in terms of our social contract, but then you know,
the cost of things not just in Massachusetts though in
the Northeast and in general, it's going up there, but
you know it's also going up, you know, in terms
of cost peace of mind. Ben, You started off talking
about the situation with the Steelers right how they want
(22:13):
to go with this new hot miss flavor of the
month thing, as if Aaron Rodgers is going to come
in and it's going to be some shangri lot situation.
But man, I gotta tell you, you gotta be kept
with what you wish for because you might get it.
And I'm not sold on this Aaron Rodgers pantacea all right?
Steelers Tomlin eighteen years. Another fan base is a little
bit you know, anxious because you know it's been like
(22:33):
a you know, eighteen years. A lot of mediocrities hit
you know, good early on, but mediocrity. Here's the point, Ben,
before I let you come in, because I know you've
got a lot of people behind me. Okay, here's the point.
The standard is the standard. The Steelers mom and pop shop.
They're about doing things a certain way. When has Aaron
Rodgers committed himself to doing things a certain way?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
All right?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
In Green Bay? He had it going on Matt before,
who was under he was unsure about you know, up
there in the MVP conversation with you know, Jordan Love
came in. He had to go. But I just don't
see it, Max SATs, I think I think it's oil
and vinegar here. So for Steelers Nation, Russell Wilson might
not be the guy, but Aaron Rodgers, I mean, you
got to. I'm just I'm not. I'm not sold on.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, you gotta please.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You gotta play somebody and right now, unless you want
Kirk Cousins, who also blows.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Those are the three options.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You've got Russell Wilson behind door number one, you got
Aaron Rodgers behind door number two, and possibly Kirk Cousins
from Atlanta if they end up trading him or releasing him.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
So that's it. There's no who else is there? I
don't know you want Max?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You want Mac Jones late of the Patriots and Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He's a free agent. No one's signing him. How about this?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I got an idea. How about to Steelers trade for
Brock Party without that Rock Party.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I'm here, I'm hearing the people in San Francisco. I
want to give h fifty million dollars a year getting
rid of all their talented guys to bring in bringing
mister irrelevant. Listen, give me Kirk Cousins, give me you
like that?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Okay, come, how about this, Sean?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
How about Deshaun Watson in a wheelchair playing for the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Man, I'm off to creep the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Dam you're done, Now you're done.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We can officially, we'd like to alert to all the
affiliates now that Andre has now he's now.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Parted the ways with the creepy quarterback.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
They gave Miles Garrett the forty million dollars. DeShawn, you
know what I mean. I was with you with the
criminal versus civil. But what you did on the court,
what he did on the field, Ben, there's no two
ways to better.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That is criminal.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
What Deshaun Watson did on the field is criminal. He
gave you that's not civil, that's criminal. And how about
Miles Garrett man a man of great integrity, a man
of genius, a man.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Who said, I want to win.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I didn't go to Cleveland to go from Cleveland to Campton.
I want to win Super Bowls. And then the Browns
made him a godfather offer, and all of a sudden
he doesn't give a rats ass about winning a super Bowl.
He might play a video game and win a super Bowl,
but he ain't gonna sniff a super Bowl playing for
the Browns.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Can't do it specifically in the AFC North Bend. But listen,
if they got Kirk Cousins, if they brought in first Cousins,
you know, they might give up a puncher's chance. But
that aside, Cleveland, you get mouth, and I'm happy you
got your money. You can Doug a basketball, Ben, He's
with you. He's a tall guy's athletic guy, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
He's a poet. He's also a poet, Miles Garrett. I remember
when he was coming in the into the NFL. They
were making a big deal because he's into poetry. And
that's you know, that's not that's kind of weird, you know,
but hey, the times we're in poetry painted fingernails. It's
a different world, man, It's a different world, agreed, Ben.
Speaker 5 (25:27):

see different. Bob writes in he says, quick question, why
are UFC events human garbage festivals? He says, I don't know.
(26:16):
One of my buddies is a huge UFC fan, and
so I watched the UFC like I'll watch some of
these events because he'll come over the bets on all
of them. And I don't bet on it because I
don't know much about it, but I'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And uh, you know, I'm old school. I'm boxing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I grew up with boxing, so when there's a big
boxing match, I'll get excited. But that happens maybe once
a year now.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:39):

like some Ukrainian dude. We'd never heard of the champion
of the heavyweight division. You can send us a message
on x at Ben Mahler. And here's a guy we

Yeah, I think Dale's eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He worked here about twenty years ago. I did some
shows with him. He's a very nice man. Although we
brought him out to be a college basketball commentator and
he didn't really want to talk about college basketball.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It was really awkward. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Go ahead, Yes, well, yeah, I just want to say
happy Marbs, okay, and.

I was reading this sorry on TMZ about Leveon Bell.
Now that's a wild story.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Do you see that one that is a I don't
even think I know who that is.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, well, you know, I know you're our NFL insider.
Was a was a player for the Pittsburgh Cities. So
TMZ has this story up that there was a lawsuit
by one of his cousins and he lost the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The cousin accused was a cousin. I didn't know his cousin.
Oh no, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So it was like an incest claim. Yeah,
he and his brother.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Now, Leveon Bell is denying this, but there was a litigation,
an allegation that was decided in court that he and
his brother were canoodling inappropriately with a.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Cousin for like a decade, and the woman.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Received damages around twenty five million dollars from Leveon Bell.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
His brother, well, I assume doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The money because he didn't play in the NFL eleven
million dollars, according to court documents. Now, Leveon Bell went
on a rant on social media and it was it
was interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You know, Levion's an interesting cat.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
He said he never denied all the allegations.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Never. He says he didn't need to force himself on
any woman. He then bragged about having thousands of sexual partners.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Thousands. How do you even I believe it?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really?
Speaker 7 (30:32):
And especially brothers. I was just having this conversation with
my friend the other day because she's dating a guy
who's really close with his brother, and I'm like, you
should ask how close they get. And she said that's
not a thing, and I said, oh, yes it is.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, well who's I remember the guy there was?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
It was a Seattle Seahawks player, right, there was a
like a threesome with two brothers.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Remember that one, Earl Thomas. Earl Thomas, Yes, Thomas, Earl Thomas. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The most famous story in my life and this kind
of thing was Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You know who that is.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Will Chamberlain familiar sued like one hundred point in a
the NA game. So he wrote a book and claimed
that he slept with twenty thousand different women during his life.
Twenty thousand. That's an NBA arena with nothing but women
filled up. The people did the math on that. They
said it was impossible, the math on there's just no way.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
I don't know if it's no way, better think about
that girl who just had sex with all those guys
in what twenty four hours? How many did she get?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, but I don't think Wilt was lining them up.
I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
And let's be let's be real here. Yeah, it's no,
it's a little bit easier for the for the women
to go right after the other.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, that's true. There's some downtime.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Men need some you need a time out, you need
a time out there. But Will I remember when I
used to go in the early days my kid as
a radio guy. Wilt would show up occasionally at the
at the Forum. He died before I think the new
arena which is now the old arena Staples Center opened up, but.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
He was sixty three. But and I am not really anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But I used to be buddies with Doug Krekoryan, who
was like a Laker beat writer back in the day,
and he traveled with.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The Lakers when Wilt was there.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And and he he said no, I mean, he said, Will,
it's full of crap basically, and some of the other people.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
But you know, well didn't I mean, I could be wrong,
but didn't he say at some point that he was
exaggerating a little bit.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was. It was kind of hyperbole. I do, but
I mean that's a long time agos twenty six years.
He died twenty six years ago.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Look, I'm sure you know, maybe not that many, but
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's but Levy a lot. But Levey on Bell though,
all right, he's talking. He says he's like a dragon.
You know, he said he slayed like a dragon. He said,
that's that's his claim there in the video.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
But I'm not saying. You know, obviously I don't know
this city.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
It is a different world professional athletes. You know, there's
something women find very attractive about them.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
So I well, yeah, I'm talking about this particular Le'Veon Bell.
Uh the claims, yes, you think something or nothing?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Coop, Let's go to the Kooper will adjudicate this case
right now on the radio.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Go ahead, Coop. I think it's probably something, so you
think now?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The lawsuit was filed in Ohio last March. Wow, Loraina,
you're not. I mean, this is number two state for
the bed malagy. What is wrong with you there?
Speaker 7 (33:28):
I have lots of people call in and confirm or deny.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I mean, look at justin in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Well, I can't push back on that, No, but I
just look, obviously anything could happen. Anybody can lie. But
typically when there's false allegations against athletes, it's not a
family member like those those usually end up being uh,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
That's pretty pretty dark though, man, that's pretty pretty wild.
The jury was went to a jury, the jury ruled
that the twenty million bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh yeah, what does that tell you?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, but then he's not gonna he doesn't have that
kind of money, right, didn't he blow all his money
on like you know, when he played with the Steelers.
He remember he sat out of here. He's such a
ding bat. He sat out a year. I remember he
was franchise tag like two or three years in a row.
I remember he sat out the year was in Miami
riting jet skis, and he left like fourteen million dollars
on the table from the Steelers because he didn't want
(34:26):
to play, because he were trying to hold the man back.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
So the cour According to the Internet, he only has
a net worth of twelve million.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Come on, man, I'm worth more than that, please, according
to the Internet, exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
All right, Well, let's see interesting interesting reading there. Leveon bell.
I don't know what really happened, but uh yeah, there
you go. Player played. What's do cousins really count?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Though?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Lorraino, The thing's on, Lorraena. There's an air light right

different starting quarterbacks in his career. That has tied for
the most in NFL history with DeShawn Jackson and me again.

DeAndre Hopkins was with Kansas City, now he's gone to Baltimore.
He's had one hundred or more receiving yards in a
game with twelve different starting quarterbacks in his career, has
tied for the most in the NFL history with DeShawn.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
The correct answer is Joey Galloway. Galloway, Joey Galloway,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our number one, our one of the original
Recipe podcast. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day, the twelfth day
of the month of March. We were up all night
recording this podcast to give you fresh pod content.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Here in our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Why have Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers been unable to
find common ground? It seemed like it was almost done
about a day ago, and now there's some problems between
Rogers and the Steelers. Talk of the Vikings and the
Giants getting involved now. Also, how do you categorize Russell
Wilson and how he relates in this Aaron Rodgers free
(00:41):
agency saga?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And we'll go to the wide receiver world.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What do you make of the story about Chris Godwin
leaving an extra twenty million on the table, possibly by
New England to stay in Tampa. He said nine out
of ten people would not have done what he did.
We'll talk about all that and more right now as
we pass you the rock here in our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is a standoff.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Roger that welcome in the beginning of yet another night
of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air
everywhere chilling in the audio world. Got it? Just a chair,
the only show in town coast coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and downright powerful microphones of
(01:39):
FSR emmating live from the depot, the smoke depot, These
takes burning up the powerful transmitters of Fox Sports Radio
as we are hanging out with you and we're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com
will help you get aaron unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
(02:03):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stallers.
I know, mikey Cano, don't you know impressed by that
tire raq dot com the way tire buying show me.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So it's kind of like a soap opera this time
of the year. I think you'd agree right and pay
attention to this crap. And this time it's all about
the NFL, the new league year.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Players getting paid massive amounts of money, other players getting
fired from their jobs. And there's this great juxtaposition in
the NFL where a lot of people are getting paid
by other people are not getting paid. But our lead
is from mister Rogers neighborhood. We're gonna take the trolley
into mister Rogers neighborhood. There now when we left the
studio during our previous episode of the show, when we
(02:50):
walked out of the studio, we were relatively confident. By
the time the afternoon came around, airin Rogers has was
going to get a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He was going to have a deal done.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But between the time that we turned off the microphones
and walked out of the building into the parking lot,
got in the cards, rove to the north Woods, went
to bed, woke up. By the time we woke up,
deal would have been done and everything said Steelers, Steelers, Steelers.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
We wait.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The plot thickens if you've not heard the latest Bumpkus
radio silence, which you're not supposed to have when you're
doing talk radio radio silence. So Aaron Rodgers said, to
be still this late hour, waist deep in deliberation and
negotiation with the Pittsburgh football team as he decides his
(03:40):
next chess move in free agency.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And so much for the reporting that he was not
going to play.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Not only is Rogers planning on playing, he's got multiple
teams that are trying to get his rotting carcass on
their roster. Considering how bad Rogers was with the Jets,
It's fascinating that there are multiple teams that are trying
to get Aaron Rodgers in the uniform. So based on
the conflicting reports in the overnight here, Rogers is said
(04:09):
to be an impass with the Insurs. The other team
involved the Giants. There's also some chatter that don't discount
the Minnesota vikings. So what exactly Let's focus in on
the black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow.
So what exactly is the hang up in the burg?
(04:29):
So as we discussed this, the question why cut to
the chase? Why have Aaron Rodgers camp and these Steelers
been unable to find common ground? So I've got promo
Code Pigeon and Uncle Sam and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:50):
delicious Saint Patti's Day's cookies. Now I've not had one
of those Saint Patti Day's cookie but there's a big
box in the other room.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
More on that later.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And if that that doesn't work, we'll put those together
and make some parogis.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You know, because you think Pittsburgh, you think parogis. Why not?
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So A the working theory is that the Yenser's front
office has sticker shock they have.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They have sometimes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I know most people do shopping online these days, but
sometimes you'll go to the store old school we called
old school.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And in the old world.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You used to have to gohoes place called like malls
and whatnot, and you'd have to find stuff in the
store and you couldn't really price around. So the Steelers,
it's a case of the best laid plans of mice
men and NFL executives often go a right. So everyone assumed,
now you know what happened, and you assume everyone assumed
(05:46):
the position that Aaron Rodgers was willing to play for
peanuts with the Rams, right, the Rams. The story was
a couple of weeks ago that Matthew Stafford was going
to go play for the Giants or the and then
the Rams. We're gonna sign Aaron Rodgers, and he was
gonna give the Rams a sweetheart deal because he wanted
(06:06):
to play with Sean McVay and Poka Nakua and that
was the way it went. Well, we know Stafford did
the old headfake and said, psych, I'm gonna actually stay
with the Rams, and he took a contract that was
a little less than he could have gotten elsewhere, so
we know that to be true. So Mike Tomlin and
really just the Steeler front office. Not know how much
Mike Tomlin's involved in this. It's the Steeler front office here,
(06:30):
the Rooney family and whatnot. They're trying to find the
promo code. They want the promo code the Rams are
gonna use. They had the promo code. The Rams gonna
use that promo code. And at this point these Steelers
are like, Hey, didn't you used to sell insurance? Can
we get that discount? Double check? Can we get that
we'd like to discount double check. Now it sounds like
(06:51):
Rogers is being pig headed, which is fine. I mean,
if you've got multiple teams and you know your value,
I don't have a I'm with that. He can say
he's a douche and all that. But the Rodgers is
in a position of strength here and he wants to
get the market rate. That's the hypothesis going around right now.
(07:11):
And there's no coupon because you're in western Pennsylvania and
you've got the cool logo on one side of the
helmet and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And so Rogers, if.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
We're reading the room properly, believes he's got all of
these teams by the foot balls, if you will, here,
and he's the last veteran quarterback who doesn't one hundred
percent blow. Okay, so there's other veteran quarterbacks, but they
all have coodies. Now, Rogers, you could argue, has a
lot of stank from being in the cockpit with the Jets. However,
(07:46):
it does not appear to be affecting his value at
this particular point and his advanced age in the athletic
kingdom all right now, page two.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So you've got the Yin and the Yang, the Yin
and the Yang.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So the Yin and the Yang, you got air Rogers
and what's going on between the Steelers and the Giants
are lurking in the in the weeds if Rogers wants
to stay in New Jersey and play more bad football
and totally destroy both New York.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Teams or New Jersey teams.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So the other part of this is how do you
categorize the latest developments as they relate to Russell Wilson,
the former, you could argue, incumbent Steelers quarterback who is
out there in free agency right now, So how does
his situation change based on everything that's going on. So
(08:35):
I think of mister mister unlimited Russell Wilson like a pigeon,
and I just bear with me on this. He's an
old fashioned stool pigeon. At this particular point, he's playing
the waiting game. He has no other options. Russell Wilson's
got no other options. He's not going to sign first,
(08:55):
He's going to sign last. And he is in in
this littlecttionercise. He's a decoy at least. The Steelers are
trying to sell Rogers and his reps that they could
always pivot back to Russell Wilson. They in fact, we
know that to be true because the Steelers leak to
(09:15):
their useful idiots otherwise known as beat writers the story,
and that's the story they wanted to get out, that
Russell Wilson could go back and all that. So Russ
is in afterthought as he should be, as he should
be the way he played in an absolute embarrassment down
the stretch for the Steelers. So in this exercise, Russ
(09:36):
will be the last one pick the last ones.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I know about that. When I was in elementary school,
I was like the last.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
One picked, and I know what it's like to be
overlooked and all that have been there. I do the
Overnight show and yeah, so that's where we are now,
all right, last word, we go quickly to Tampa, the
Tampa Saint Pete area. The Buccaneer pirate ship locked in
(10:03):
this week their wide receiver, Chris Godwin, a godlike figure.
He was a free agent, and the story from the
last couple of days was Chris Godwin had plenty of
opportunities to leave the state of Florida and go somewhere
else and get the riches of Solomon. He decided he
did not want the riches of Solomon. So it's hard
(10:24):
to say that he got a raw deal, as Godwin
got a three year contract for sixty six million, but
forty four million of that Chris Godwin deal is garan teed,
so that's how much he actually got. But he believes
that others would not have settled for that. In fact,
that Godwin, speaking to the microphones and cameras in Tampa,
(10:47):
said it boiled down to family and just staying true
to who I am was the quote. He then said
that nine out of ten people in his position would
not have necessarily made this decision, meaning that he's somehow
in the top percentile of morally correct people because he
(11:09):
took less money even though he got forty four million guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Should we have a bake sale for Chris Godwin? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So yeah, the chatter is Godwin could have made an
extra twenty million dollars. Now, the speculation is that the
New England football team, the Patsy's, offered Chris Godwin. I
think they're called the Patriots, but the way they played recently,
the back to me in the patsis. So the chatter
is the Patriots are the ones that offered Chris Godwin
(11:38):
that money money money, So.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What do you make of the story? Now?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Including some quotes from Chris Godwin saying that he essentially left,
he confirmed the story that he left in the neighborhood
of twenty million dollars from New England on the table
to stay in Tampa, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm
skeptical that this is true.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And it seems like there's a lot of semantics involved
in this, and so my BS detective started going.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Just like that when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Methinks the football player is a little too braggadocious. Methinks, Yeah,
like you'd be the biggest dingleberry in the world to
reject an extra twenty million dollars. All things being the same,
you're doing the same sport and all that stuff. And
it's not like Baker Mayfield is the second coming. He's fine.
He's an average NFL quarterback. He's not that great, but
(12:39):
he's not terrible. He's just kind of there, all right.
So it's not like you're playing with Mahomes or regular
season Lamar Jackson or somebody like that. You're playing with
Baker Mayfield. He's fine, but you're gonna leave twenty million
on the table here. You're affecting future generations of the family.
So what's going on here? I think he's being completely transparent.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, I do. I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
It's more likely than not, based on my read of
the situation, that there is a concophony of fine print
involved in this, meaning Uncle Sam or go. Let's say
it's Florida versus, as Bill Belichick called it, Taxachusetts. In
that tax situation, the state income tax in Florida is,
(13:28):
I think we can all agree, a really good state
income tax, zero percent. It's really good, really that's what
you want, right, you want zero percent?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's that's what they've got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Zero percent Massachusetts or Taxachusetts is Bill Belichick called it famously.
The income tax plus the jock tax is nine percent.
So right off the top, that's nine percent. Now, if
you do some mal or math and you futs around
with the numbers, let's say that Godwin had an offer of.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Around eighty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
In that neighborhood from the Patriots and sixty six million
from Tampa, And you can futs around with the numbers,
put your taxation in there and all that. And also
you don't know how much of the money from the
Patriots was guaranteed. Is it funny money? Is it fake money?
There's a lot of filler.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's like hot dogs. They put a lot of filler
in there with these contracts.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So Godwin, he has to come back from that devastating
ankle injury, so who knows, he's damaged goods until proven otherwise.
And that ended his twenty twenty four season. The bit
short it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like

But eventually, let's just put everyone in the tournament. Isn't
that where that that's headed everyone? He gets in So
I tease and if you tease something, you got to
pay it off. We're talking about the cheesehead advice chiefs
head to cheese head advice or is it cheese head
on cheese head crime. Well, Brett Farve has entered the
(19:38):
chat Packer legend Brett Farve, and he has decided to
encourage Aaron Rodgers to sign with one NFL team. In particular,
he said, by all means, he wants to see Aaron
Rodgers go to this team. Is this team A the
Pittsburgh Steelers, Is this team B the New York Giants?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Or is it see mystery team? Yeah, that is correct.
It would be answersy Brett Farv encouraging Aaron Rodgers to
sign with the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know how Femi
feels about that, or hollering James or Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
or and his other guy. The great listeners we have
in the Twin cities there as we dominate the radio
(20:27):
dial when everyone's sleeping there at Minnesota. But Brett Farv
saying that he'd like to see and that's called the
the Farv career arc. He said, by all means, sign
with the Vikings. They're loaded at pretty much every position.
Farv said, Now that's the same career that Farv had.
(20:48):
He went from the remember he went back in the day.
He went from the Packers to the Jets, and then
he had a problem with his mister microphone, and then
he went over to the.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
To the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
He had a brief renaissance, Yes, brief renaissance, and I
had some success there in Minnesota, and then it all,
it all went away.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
People are saying the Vikings are lurking in the shadows,
but they're not getting a lot of attention. All the
attention is about the black and yellow, black and yellow,
black and yellow bill, the black and yellow and the giants.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
To the phones.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
We go and we go now to Taxachusetts and we
say hello to Andre in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hello, Andre, welcome.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
How are you ben?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Good to be with you this evening taxa choosets, you know,
it kind of it's a double edged sword, you know
here in the Commonwealth. You know, talking a little bit
of economics, we do lead the nation in education and innovation,
a number of important categories, never mind what's going on nationally,
but the cost of living here, income wealth specifically, you know,
(21:52):
it is up there. So it's a debate on both sides.
You know, we have things that we're quite proud of
in terms of our social contract, but then you know,
the cost of things not just in Massachusetts though in
the Northeast and in general, it's going up there, but
you know it's also going up, you know, in terms
of cost peace of mind. Ben, You started off talking
about the situation with the Steelers right how they want
(22:13):
to go with this new hot miss flavor of the
month thing, as if Aaron Rodgers is going to come
in and it's going to be some shangri lot situation.
But man, I gotta tell you, you gotta be kept
with what you wish for because you might get it.
And I'm not sold on this Aaron Rodgers pantacea all right?
Steelers Tomlin eighteen years. Another fan base is a little
bit you know, anxious because you know it's been like
(22:33):
a you know, eighteen years. A lot of mediocrities hit
you know, good early on, but mediocrity. Here's the point, Ben,
before I let you come in, because I know you've
got a lot of people behind me. Okay, here's the point.
The standard is the standard. The Steelers mom and pop shop.
They're about doing things a certain way. When has Aaron
Rodgers committed himself to doing things a certain way?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
All right?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
In Green Bay? He had it going on Matt before,
who was under he was unsure about you know, up
there in the MVP conversation with you know, Jordan Love
came in. He had to go. But I just don't
see it, Max SATs, I think I think it's oil
and vinegar here. So for Steelers Nation, Russell Wilson might
not be the guy, but Aaron Rodgers, I mean, you
got to. I'm just I'm not. I'm not sold on.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, you gotta please.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You gotta play somebody and right now, unless you want
Kirk Cousins, who also blows.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Those are the three options.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You've got Russell Wilson behind door number one, you got
Aaron Rodgers behind door number two, and possibly Kirk Cousins
from Atlanta if they end up trading him or releasing him.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
So that's it. There's no who else is there? I
don't know you want Max?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You want Mac Jones late of the Patriots and Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
He's a free agent. No one's signing him. How about this?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I got an idea. How about to Steelers trade for
Brock Party without that Rock Party.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I'm here, I'm hearing the people in San Francisco. I
want to give h fifty million dollars a year getting
rid of all their talented guys to bring in bringing
mister irrelevant. Listen, give me Kirk Cousins, give me you
like that?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Okay, come, how about this, Sean?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
How about Deshaun Watson in a wheelchair playing for the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Man, I'm off to creep the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Dam you're done, Now you're done.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We can officially, we'd like to alert to all the
affiliates now that Andre has now he's now.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Parted the ways with the creepy quarterback.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
They gave Miles Garrett the forty million dollars. DeShawn, you
know what I mean. I was with you with the
criminal versus civil. But what you did on the court,
what he did on the field, Ben, there's no two
ways to better.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That is criminal.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
What Deshaun Watson did on the field is criminal. He
gave you that's not civil, that's criminal. And how about
Miles Garrett man a man of great integrity, a man
of genius, a man.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Who said, I want to win.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I didn't go to Cleveland to go from Cleveland to Campton.
I want to win Super Bowls. And then the Browns
made him a godfather offer, and all of a sudden
he doesn't give a rats ass about winning a super Bowl.
He might play a video game and win a super Bowl,
but he ain't gonna sniff a super Bowl playing for
the Browns.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Can't do it specifically in the AFC North Bend. But listen,
if they got Kirk Cousins, if they brought in first Cousins,
you know, they might give up a puncher's chance. But
that aside, Cleveland, you get mouth, and I'm happy you
got your money. You can Doug a basketball, Ben, He's
with you. He's a tall guy's athletic guy, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
He's a poet. He's also a poet, Miles Garrett. I remember
when he was coming in the into the NFL. They
were making a big deal because he's into poetry. And
that's you know, that's not that's kind of weird, you know,
but hey, the times we're in poetry painted fingernails. It's
a different world, man, It's a different world, agreed, Ben.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
You know, I wish you would have remembered the poetry
when he had the incident with Mason Rudolph there.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know, he went four with a helmet.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I wish you.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Would have had some Mussan, I'm happy you got money
for the time Steelers Nation. Don't go for a new
stay with you.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Go give go, give will 's some treats or something.
I think Andre.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
From the Commonwealth alf the Alien opine rights. And he says, yeah,
malor what you said. I also recommend listening live and
to the podcast. Well, thank you, absolutely, yes, yes, let's
see different. Bob writes in he says, quick question, why
are UFC events human garbage festivals? He says, I don't know.
(26:16):
One of my buddies is a huge UFC fan, and
so I watched the UFC like I'll watch some of
these events because he'll come over the bets on all
of them. And I don't bet on it because I
don't know much about it, but I'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And uh, you know, I'm old school. I'm boxing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I grew up with boxing, so when there's a big
boxing match, I'll get excited. But that happens maybe once
a year now.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And we did the bit the other other day. We
couldn't even name the heavyweight champion of the world. It's
like some Ukrainian dude. We'd never heard of the champion
of the heavyweight division. You can send us a message
on x at Ben Mahler. And here's a guy we
haven't talked to in a while. We thought he was
off the grid, but he's back. Tiger Man in Utah.
Hello tiger Man.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Happy march all who celebrate this great season of college basketball. Uh,
you know, big things happening in this book. I really like,
uh really like b Yu Man. I don't know. I
think Kevin Gun has got a great team, and uh,
it's just really exciting it out here in uh here
(27:23):
in the mountains where uh.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
It's our time out here. So I thought you were
mister Baton Rouge. I know you live in Utah, but
your your heart is in Baton Rouge. And are you
singing the praises of b Yu? Do you think the
Mormons are gonna run the board in the tournament? Is
how what you're saying right now?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Absolutely give us any seed you want. We're gonna run
it through them and run it all night.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I mean that McMahon at LLC is probably the worst
head coach, and I want to give him another year.
And you're gonna lose my support if you're gonna gonna
come back, and and that what sucks my team.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
So you know they gotta find where's Dale Brown when
you need him? The great Dale Brown, remember the oh
Man love Dale Brown. Dale Brown Fox Sports Radio alumni member.
By the way, back in the day, he did some
shows here. You don't even know who that is. By
the way, you have no idea who Dale Brown is?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I'm in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I know you have no idea. See Dale Brown was.
He was the coach when like Shack was at LSU
back in the day.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
He was a college you.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Can use the head coach right now.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, I think Dale's eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He worked here about twenty years ago. I did some
shows with him. He's a very nice man. Although we
brought him out to be a college basketball commentator and
he didn't really want to talk about college basketball.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It was really awkward. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Go ahead, Yes, well, yeah, I just want to say
happy Marbs, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, there we go. All right.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Terrible ending of that call, but that's fine. We love
you anyway. We're fans of your work, even though you're back.
I was reading this sorry on TMZ about Leveon Bell.
Now that's a wild story.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Do you see that one that is a I don't
even think I know who that is.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, well, you know, I know you're our NFL insider.
Was a was a player for the Pittsburgh Cities. So
TMZ has this story up that there was a lawsuit
by one of his cousins and he lost the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The cousin accused was a cousin. I didn't know his cousin.
Oh no, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So it was like an incest claim. Yeah,
he and his brother.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Now, Leveon Bell is denying this, but there was a litigation,
an allegation that was decided in court that he and
his brother were canoodling inappropriately with a.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Cousin for like a decade, and the woman.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Received damages around twenty five million dollars from Leveon Bell.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
His brother, well, I assume doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The money because he didn't play in the NFL eleven
million dollars, according to court documents. Now, Leveon Bell went
on a rant on social media and it was it
was interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You know, Levion's an interesting cat.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
He said he never denied all the allegations.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Never. He says he didn't need to force himself on
any woman. He then bragged about having thousands of sexual partners.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Thousands. How do you even I believe it?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really?
Speaker 7 (30:32):
And especially brothers. I was just having this conversation with
my friend the other day because she's dating a guy
who's really close with his brother, and I'm like, you
should ask how close they get. And she said that's
not a thing, and I said, oh, yes it is.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, well who's I remember the guy there was?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
It was a Seattle Seahawks player, right, there was a
like a threesome with two brothers.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Remember that one, Earl Thomas. Earl Thomas, Yes, Thomas, Earl Thomas. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The most famous story in my life and this kind
of thing was Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You know who that is.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Will Chamberlain familiar sued like one hundred point in a
the NA game. So he wrote a book and claimed
that he slept with twenty thousand different women during his life.
Twenty thousand. That's an NBA arena with nothing but women
filled up. The people did the math on that. They
said it was impossible, the math on there's just no way.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
I don't know if it's no way, better think about
that girl who just had sex with all those guys
in what twenty four hours? How many did she get?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, but I don't think Wilt was lining them up.
I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
And let's be let's be real here. Yeah, it's no,
it's a little bit easier for the for the women
to go right after the other.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, that's true. There's some downtime.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Men need some you need a time out, you need
a time out there. But Will I remember when I
used to go in the early days my kid as
a radio guy. Wilt would show up occasionally at the
at the Forum. He died before I think the new
arena which is now the old arena Staples Center opened up, but.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
He was sixty three. But and I am not really anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
But I used to be buddies with Doug Krekoryan, who
was like a Laker beat writer back in the day,
and he traveled with.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The Lakers when Wilt was there.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And and he he said no, I mean, he said, Will,
it's full of crap basically, and some of the other people.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
But you know, well didn't I mean, I could be wrong,
but didn't he say at some point that he was
exaggerating a little bit.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was. It was kind of hyperbole. I do, but
