Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bird. Let the
ball busting begin here at our number one. I made
the mistake of going down a rabbit hole with the tabloids,
and so a tabloid heavy hour one here as the
Ben Maler Show up all night recording this podcast on
(00:22):
the fourth day of September. So what do you make
of Travis Kelcey's legal team, according to the tabloids, trying
to debunk internet speculation that a date has been picked
to end his relationship with Taylor Swift. Also Baltimore's Marlon
Humphrey his podcast smack at Travis Kelsey, saying that Kelsey
(00:43):
is riding the Swifties train to get that one hundred
million dollar podcast deals at fair or foul? And how
do you read the NFL's hype video obsession with Taylor Swift.
We'll get to that and much more right now here.
It is our number one. Some Swift action. Well come,
(01:07):
in the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show.
We are in the air ywhere in Unison as we
party in the Coconut Club, coast, the coast, boiler, the border,
and beyond on the vast and funkily powerful microphones of
(01:30):
fsr M monnating live from the side, the ring side
for all the chatter and it never ends. We're broadcasting
live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free roadhazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended
(01:57):
in stars tyrack dot com. The way tire buying should
be Noah in Austin up late with us. He's a
big joke writer, the Great Noah in Austin. But our
lead this hour is from the tabloids. I can't help myself.
I hope you'll bear with me my indulgence. Here we
(02:18):
go to the heartland of cansa city not only the
home of the current dynasty in Pro football, also the
home of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers at the landing
over there in Liberty, Missouri. Also the drama O Rama
djur and that's going on right now. It involves a
certain tight end developing hot dot dot dot. Now, if
(02:41):
you didn't hear about this, perhaps you don't read the tabloids.
Bad job by you. It's great reading, especially when you're
sitting on the toilet. Man, is that good reading. All right,
So we have learned now that the chief star Travis Kelcey,
who is a game show host. He is a actor
in television and movie. Now Travis Kelcey also has a
(03:02):
PR team, and he has had his PR people contact lawyers.
All of this over some social media posts that you
may have seen if you live in the matrix. If
you don't live in the Matrix, you probably don't know
what I'm talking about. So those posts claim that they
have tangible evidence prove revealing that Travis kelce has been
(03:27):
living a lie for the last year. And these documents
claim to show a quote contract that was revealed the
exact date down to the day where this relationship between
Kelsey and Taylor Swift will come to an end. Now
(03:51):
Travis Kelcey has lawyered up. There were legal papers bouncing around.
According to the Daily Mail, one of the great tabloids
out there, the London Table Lloyd reporting this, This supposedly
fake PR strategy document has bounced around. It's spread like
wildfire in the matrix. So let us discuss the question
what do you make of if the tabloids are right?
(04:15):
Travis Kelcey's legal team attempting to legally debunk the Taylor
Swift documents of a breakup story that are bouncing around.
So I've got Circus Act, Kim Trails, and Maxwell House,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(04:37):
say study as she goes, because we've got a long flight.
It's a red eye flight. We're here all night. So
a Travis Kelcey through this story if accurate, as I
understand it, my head was spinning a little bit. But
as I understand, Travis Kelsey's advisors are at the very
least admitting the idea that all all of this is
(05:02):
not real is a plausible story. And they know it's
a plausible story. Now, what is my evidence by evidence
is they would not have a visceral reaction of going
to lawyers right away. I mean they immediately trying to
refute this story. And if you try to refute, as
a celebrity every fake story, it is an untenable situation.
(05:27):
It is a war you cannot win. And it's that
old line. If you find yourself in a whole stop diggit.
And this story bouncing around claims to reveal a undercover
strategy by a high falutin Hollywood pr firm that lays
it all out. Everything's laid out there that the Kelsey
Swift split announcement was going to happen on September twenty eighth.
(05:52):
You can do the math as we slide into the
fourth September, sliding into the fourth day of September, so
September twenty eighth, so a little over three weeks away now.
It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official
statement at the end of the month, and they even
(06:15):
go into detail on this. If you see the documents,
you don't need to read them. I'll just give them
to you right now, three days post breakup, it says,
and that would allow the initial media frenzy, the feeding frenzy,
to settle down and then ensure clarity. It goes into
such detail this document. It adds that the announcement will
be gracious and respectful and stress mutual respect. The paperwork
(06:41):
also but wait, there's more, states that this announcement would
focus on mister Kelsey's personal growth by framing the breakup
as a natural part of life. And whoever did this,
if it's fake, they did a great job, right, They
did a really good job. They nailed it right out.
Of the eye, they crossed the tee all that now.
(07:03):
It also, according to the document, will highlight Kelsey's unwavering
commitment to his career, his ongoing achievements in the professional
sports industry. So this whole situation continues to feel like
a circus act. I'm talking about the relationship. There's a
lot of spinning plates going on like a good circus
(07:25):
act there, and you're trying to keep all these plates
spinning and Spinner's spins, Min's Spence, Men's spence pins, Spence Bein'
spencepin Smith spin. Now, we wouldn't be shocked if this
year long love story was just a made for Hollywood sham.
I fell down a rabbit hole. I don't know much
about Taylor Swift. I've heard of music over the years,
(07:45):
but I read something online. I don't know who's true
or not, but Taylor Swift's mother was in marketing and
that's that's where she worked. And one story I was
reading was detailing how Taylor Swift's entire life has been
carefully choreographed by the family. There that her image has
been hand crafted surgical precision. Every minute detail has been
(08:13):
fed and trimmed, and all that for public consumption, So
keep an eye on it. But that would be a
humdinger humdinger of a real Now they can't announce it's
September twenty eight. That's off the table. So if this
is bogus, then don't worry about it. But if they
are planning to break up, and they've got it all
laid out, and you would think that this is such
(08:34):
a big media frenzy, if they do break up, there
will be a PR firm involved. They cannot do it
September twenty eighth, They'll have to push it back. Now,
on that same train of thought, we turn the page
to Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey. The NFL Lidlifter is
on Thursday, and that will feature Baltimore and Kansas City
(08:56):
at Arrowhead. The Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey. He went
on record claiming that Taylor Swift's influence is why Travis
kelcey got a one hundred million dollar podcast deal with Amazon.
Is that fair or foul? So some people up in
(09:18):
arms over there saying it's it's not right. It's absolutely fair,
fair ball, fair ball, and I'm never wrong about these things.
Travis Kelcey and his brother right now are writing the
chim Trails of the Swifties ship. They are every man, woman,
and child with an IQ above ten knows this without
(09:38):
the Swifties listening for Intel some kind of dirt on
the relationship, the Kelsey brothers are simply doing another meathead
jock podcast. Those are a dime a dozen and most
people don't listen to them. Neither one of these guys,
the Kelsey Brothers, is entertaining. They're just like all the others.
It's less snoozefest, is what it is, all right now,
(10:00):
last word, So we pivot a little further away from
the heart of the story, which was the story where
Travis Kelsey's PR people are hiring lawyers to try to
debunk the Internet chatter that this is all a sham
relationship with the NFL social media Arm got involved in
(10:21):
this and they posted a hype video. You might have
seen the season beginning this is our Wednesday show begins tomorrow,
and so the NFL Social media Arm posted a hype
video and it was really short, bounced all over the place.
Many people though, pointing out, how could you miss this?
The Komodo dragon in the room, a certain pop diva
(10:46):
was the star of the show to get you ready
for the NFL season. So how do you read how
do you read the NFL marketing people their hype video
obsession with Taylor Swift? All right, so you can give
your take in a minute, I'm gonna give my take.
So the league knows this romance is not going to
(11:11):
last forever, right, short lived, whether it ends now or
maybe they have a wedding and they get married and
they get married for a couple of years and then
they break up and get divorced and all. Either way,
it's not a long term, live happily ever after situation.
So the NFL right now is brewing up some Maxwell
House coffee. They know for business. This is good to
the last drop. We all know it, right. I do
(11:34):
this TV show on the weekends. We're always trying to
find ways to mention Taylor Swift's name on the TV show.
Like some idiot might be watching the TV show and
then see Taylor Swift's name mentioned or a photo of her,
and all of a sudden, you get all excited and we'll
get all the Swifties to watch the show. But they're
squeezing all the juice out of the Swifty Orange. If
(11:55):
you will right for reference, the twenty eight second CLI
that's it. Twenty eight seconds, that's our attentions, Maan, twenty
eight seconds. They showed Taylor Swift not one, not two,
not three, not four, five times in a twenty eight
second clip. She was shown more than Patrick Mahomes or
any other player for that matter. And quarterbacks who have
(12:18):
had some success. Joe Burrow, who got to a Super
Bowl a couple years back. He wasn't in the video.
Brock Purty, who was just in the Super Bowl back
in February, he wasn't there. Of course, you could argue
that Joe Burrow and Brock Purty and Patrick Mahomes none
of those people have sold one hundred and fourteen million records.
Taylor Swift has has, and more importantly, the NFL people
(12:43):
think she's gonna sell a bunch of overpriced NFL T
shirts and merch. It's all about the merch. It is
the Ben Malor Show. If you would like to be
part of this, you can join us. Speak easy rules
on effect. Why I don't know if the shows, the
calls to the show blow again tonight, I'm getting rid
(13:04):
of speakeasy rules for a long time. I didn't give
out the number on yesterday's show and I left with
a migraine headache when I was walking out of the studio.
We have the dumbest people that called the show, and
I was like, I didn't give out the numbers. I
was trying to avoid that. So I don't know what's
going on. Anyway, Maybe it'll be better. If not, we
(13:25):
will have to reevaluate. We'll get strategic, we'll go into
the fox hole and figure out what can be done.
But for now, speakeasy rules are in effect. We'll see
how it goes. Subject to change. Subject to change some
very expensive steel And what word are you trying to
(13:48):
say that? I don't think that's the word you're trying
to I think you're trying to say a different word.
We'll get to all that and we will do it next.

(14:53):
I have pooped the bed OHI from the Tirack dot
Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Get the calls coming up in a minute. There are
rumors that we may or may not hear from our
comrade j Scoop, who is listening in the Ukraine. I
have been in contact with the Great Jays Scoop in
recent days, and I know he'd like to get back
(15:20):
here to the States soon. He's still there. He's been
there for believe over a year. I believe he's been
over a year. He's been in the Ukraine. So we
will hopefully hear from him at some point. Least he
said he was going to try to call in, but
he sent me some videos from his place there in
the Ukraine. And let's just say, there's a lot of
bomb stuff going on, like there's still You don't hear
(15:41):
about it every day because we're in here in the States,
but he's right in the middle of it all. So
hopefully we'll hear from him at some point. We began
with this hour the Drama O Rama involving Travis Kelsey.
Destin says, opening of the show is great band, but
I think we need to give the Yankee fans a
much harder time ask them how second place tastes well,
(16:03):
not just second place and the New York Yankees. If
you look at your Major League Baseball standing, the Yankees
go from the number one on the big board in
the American League, they blow a lead against the Rangers,
the bullpen melts down again for the Bronx Bombers, and
now the New York Yankees have gone from the number
(16:23):
one seed in the American League bracket, which means a bye.
And now they're the number four seed in the American League.
And if the season ended today, baseball would lose a
lot of money because there's another month to go in
the year by a month, and the Yankees would have
to open up on the road against the ash Know.
(16:44):
I think they would be the home team. They play Minnesota.
That would be the four to five matchup. But we
haven't seen the Yankees and Twins ever play in the playoffs.
They never get together, but that would be the matchup.
The Orioles move back up to the number one slock Cleveland,
a team named after a bridge. Embarrassing is that they
are in the number two spot in the American League.
And then you have the cheating a Holes who are
(17:06):
in the number three spot. And if the board holds,
Houston would play my Kansas City Roles and they will
become America's team, because that's good versus evil, good versus evil.
Bobby Witt Junior can stick it to that schmuck Alboovey
(17:27):
and the Astros. So see what happens with that cowboy,
Drew says, Mallard. Don't even start with his swifties nonsense.
It's too early like pumpkins spice, he says, now supermarket.
Steve from the LBC says the the Dodger game against
(17:47):
the Angels ended at nine West Coast Time extra inning.
Thriller and David Vase off the air by eleven, and
Steve says somebody definitely gave him a memo saying stop
covering up Mallard. Well, either that or he was trying
to get back to the San Fernando Valley to his house.
And there's a long drive from Anaheim to Woodland Hills,
(18:09):
so he was probably trying to get back out that way.
I'm thinking that might be more to do with it
than anything else. Who else do you have? Texas Trucker
enjoyed the Kelsey Swift monologue. He said, outstanding a job
by you, and then he wants us to talk about
a fantasy football team. I think I'm good on that,
(18:29):
Texas Trucker. I mean, when I get to the point
where I'm breaking down the names of fantasy football teams,
I think it's probably time to hang up the headphones
and do something else. Get a real job, and that'll
be that. But if you want to do that you
can do that on your own time. Maybe on the weekend.
Somebody will do that, but not me. I'm not doing life.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
You get a real job.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. G Manage in Chicago says, excellent monologue.
I knew the Swift Kelsey relationship was fake garbage, just
like her other relationships and music. The Kelsey Swift chiefs
and the Frog quarterback can kick rocks Chip in the
cues right since is a plus on the mat of
the monologue. If you cannot decide whether or not to
(19:08):
announce the FSR phone number, why not just ask Taylor Swift?
Great idea, Chip, I'll call her up. Maybe I'll text
her and see what she says. Inca terror who knows
a thing or two about music says, who needs Taylor Swift?
When this show has Lorraine a That's right, we have
(19:28):
we have Lorena. She's here, she's right over there, and
she's smiling. He's reading a book as we speak right now.
Late Night Drug tester says, wait, celebrity dating is just
for show to increase Q ratings and wealth. I am
shocked and disappointed, shocked and disappointed. I just wanna say, Ben, Yes, Lorena.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I have been following this whole Taylor Swift thing since
the beginning, and if it is actually false. That was
my initial thought when it first happened.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I was like, this is a pr style.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
I'm like, they're not really dating, they're not really in love.
But then they've really been milking it the last few months,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, well you got to go all in though, isn't
that part of the deal. I travel around Taylor Swift's
got unbelievable lots of money she can and Kelsey's rich too,
but he's not Taylor Swift rich, so they can fire
to London or wherever she's performing. Yeah, but that's one
heck of a asade to put on. My question is
this I get the whole nfl angle for them and
(20:28):
for Kelsey, it's great. He's got one hundred million dollars podcast.
Nobody even knew who he was, a meathead tight end
for the Chiefs. Who cares about tight ends? Come on,
you know he's got to be pissed off Rob Gronkowski.
Why couldn't Gronk? Why couldn't Gronk have hooked up with
Taylor Swift? He would be one hundred million dollar guy.
Right now and all that. But that's a different conversation.
But the fact that Taylors how many football fans are like, well, no,
(20:51):
I need to pay attention to Taylor, So I don't
think it cuts that way, Like, so what's in it
for her? Exactly?
Speaker 7 (20:57):
That's that's kind of them, you know, the wrench in
this whole conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
What good did it? Dude, Taylor Swift?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
I mean, she's got somebody to write her next album about,
I guess, but that could have Like, I mean that
could have been anybody though, right, so well, not anyone.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
I mean, it could have been somebody bigger than Travis Kelson.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Right, That's that's what I'm saying, Like, do you think
that album the you know, let's say it's all fake
and then she writes the next breakup album about Travis Kelsey?
Would that have gotten more sales with an NFL player
than you know, some other you know, music star actor actor?
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
She could have gone quarterback, you know, tight ends kind
of below her, I would think. But anyway, Uh Stevie
Meetbaul says, speaking of phony contracts, when is yours up with?
Uh pixies? I don't, I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, I'm confused by that. Stephen Balls, but I know
you're blind, But try to watch Benny versus Benny blind.
People say the show looks great. Yeah, inca terror and
blind Emmett and Blin Scott have all given me five
stars on the TV show. They say I have never
looked better. That They just love it. Yeah. Purt Dog says,
(22:14):
you got to give my Angels props for pushing the
Dodgers to extra innings. That is a moral victory if
I've ever seen one. Well, congratulations, outstanding, tremendous, tremendous work
by the Halos. That is next level, next level for sure.
So some expensive steel money flying all over the place
(22:34):
in the NFL. One of the players that is not
a household name unless you're like a hard ow football person,
which maybe are because you listening to a sports radio
show in the overnight. But Cam Hayward, who had belly
ached about his contract and had raised a hullabaloo, wanted
to get more money, and the Pittsburgh Seilers said, Okay,
(22:55):
we'll give you more money. The longest tenured player for
the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has been there for years and
years and years. He's in his mid thirties. If you're old,
you recall his father, who played at Pitt Ironhead legend
of his day. Not a great NFL player, but a
(23:17):
great name. Ironhead Hayward.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Fun to watch, big, big, old fat running back.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, and he led with his head. Yeah, led with
his head a lot play with the Saints in the NFL.
But Cam Hayward has agreed to a three year contract
for an extra twenty nine million dollar sixteen million fulling
guaranteed twenty nine million in new money or Cam Hayward.
So he's buying money and everyone's getting paid. I mean,
(23:42):
you really have to be a Schmendrick to not get paid.
And I feel like, let me, I've spent the last
month of my life here obsessing doing talk radio, obsessing
over who's going to get paid, who's not going to
pay get paid. It's a sham. I feel like I've
been living a sham here. Everyone got paid. So what
(24:03):
have I done? I've wasted a month of my life
analyzing who's gonna get paid, who shouldn't get paid and
all that. And they all got paid, every one of them.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Well there's still one waiting.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Well, Dak Prescott's deal? Is he the only one? Jamark days? Yeah,
but Dak also that is a couple.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
There's a couple out there.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
But if you were to say percentage of players that
that bitched about their contract and percentage of the players
that got paid, it's in the eighty percent. Tile entile. Yeah,
so I I I'm annoyed by that. What are we
doing here? But congratulations with the cam. Everyone's good player.
And that's an admission by the Steelers. We have no quarterbacks,
(24:46):
so we better make all of our defensive guys happy
because we're gonna have to be. We're gonna have to
shut just about everyone out to win these games. All
the wise, we are Scott Rude.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
All right, it's time for our nightly report. Did the

Baltimore starter Cade Povich no cheer that this is a
good thing. Seven shutout innings. He and two relievers combined

one hundred and nine twelve losses in a row.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I would like to learn all the affiliates. I'll have
a fun fact from this game coming off. Fun fact
from this.

Four and thirty nine since the All Star Break, twelve

Fact a follow up to a previous fun fact. The
Chicago White Sox are now the first team since the
nineteen sixteen Philadelphia Athletics to lose forty five of fifty
games in a season, So congratulations to them. But another
fun fact on the White Sox. The White Sox have
(26:33):
lost now twenty nine of the last thirty one series
dating back to the middle of May. Twenty nine of
thirty one series in that time, there have only been
two series where they did not lose in this stretch
since May fifteenth. Now. One was against the Rockies. They
actually won that series two of three, which means the
(26:55):
Rockies should have to go to the Pacific Coast League.
They might be there already. And on how embarrassing is
this for the Boston Red Sox who split a four
game series with the White Sox. So those are all
your fun facts. I'll have more White Sox fun facts later,
because this is your fun fact station. You give us,
(27:16):
I don't know, ten minutes, we'll give you a fun factor,
twenty minutes or whatever it is, We'll give you a
fun fact. Absolutely yeah, Rick writes in the Rick Flair
Berner account says dudes in sports never offered to take
a pay cut, they would still easily manage to survive
even if they were forced to work for the veterans
minimum of only a couple million dollars. Well, you don't
(27:40):
blame them for that. Who I'm not taking a pay cut,
although I did during COVID, I did take a pay cut,
not by choice, I was forced to. But yeah, absolutely, man,
pay cut thing. Man who wants a pay cut? Nobody
wants that. Let's go to Zachary, who's in Albany, Oregon. Hello, Zachary.
Zachary is gone, So we'll go to Mason the Millennial.
(28:02):
He did not have the intentional fortitude to stay on hold,
but Mason the Millennial did. Hello, Mason the Millennial.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Absolutely, sir, So hey Ben, thanks for putting me on
lead off position. I would like to go into a
sporty call, much less than my recent calls, which have
been about my life. Who cares about that? So let's
start with baseball, and then I'd like to transition into
a little NFL. Considering the start of the seam.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I'd like that you're mapping. You're mapping out the entire
call here, so we can navigate the call together and
we can grade the takes. This is very important.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
There we go, so I'd like to start with the
real team. In New York City. That's right, angry Bill,
I'm talking to you. No one cares about the Yankees,
So yeah, the mess I was so ready to call
up after Edwin d is Is two like straight blown
(29:03):
saves on walkoff home runs. Those were absolutely terrible. But
you know, a sweep against the White Sox and a
couple of one games the Red Sox, you know, and
then all of a sudden, we're a half game behind
the Braves. And yes, I've given up on the Athletics.
The Mets are my NL team, you know, So we're
(29:25):
a half game behind the Braves. Ben, what are you
thinking about the mets chances of making a postseason run
better than the Yankees? Question Mark, Well, are.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You talking about getting in the Plauffs and then going
on a run or just getting in the playoffs, because
I don't like the mets chances of even getting in
the playoffs. I know they're playing. Well, you're being a
prisoner of the moment right now. You're being a prisoner
of the moment. Mason the Millennial. That's my first thought,
and no, I'll take my chance. The Yankees have pitching issues,
but I'll take my shot with Aaron Judge and Juan
(29:59):
Soto in a playoff run as opposed to the Metropolitans.
And you think about the Atlanta Braves have had three
of their biggest stars go down with injuries and they're
still hanging on to a playoff spot. That's wild. That's wild.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
Yes, yeah, but you know they kind of hit their
stride a little too early, maybe, you know, hit their stride.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That's where they had everybody and they all these guys
went down, Snap, crackle them pop for the Bravos. No.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
But what I'm saying right now is like they had
all that early season success against the Phillies, and all
of a sudden they're dropping a bunch of games. And
I know, granted, Phillies are you know, the leader in
the NL East, but you know, all of a sudden
they're losing to them. And I don't think that trend
will continue the East. You know, I think they will
(30:52):
start losing the teams that I bet you they'll drop
a couple of games to the Rockies. I bet you,
I bet you they will.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
They Okay, I'll bet you they don't. I'll bet you
they don't.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Okay. I mean Rocky's glow. So I mean that's not
saying much, but that's.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
What you're you're speaking with your heart. Mason all was quickly,
I need to move on the other take take hurry up,
hurry up, hurry up.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Party wasn't in the NFL commercial because he wasn't even
in the NFL promo for the Super Bowl they had.
They had Christian McCaffrey in there. So I mean, I'll
leave you with this. I mean, rock Party is obviously
a make or break here, So do you think he
makes or breaks? I'll leave you with that. Thanks for
taking the call.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Mat all Right, Well, it's not a make or break
here because he's gonna get paid. He'll get and unless
he completely falls off the map and then somebody else
will pay him. But he's gonna get This is last
year before he gets that Bafflesaco money. I'm looking at
that game on Monday Night and there's a lot of
stuff going on. The Niners have handed out a bunch
(31:57):
of money. A lot of these guys didn't didn't properly
pair for the season. They open up with the Jets
on Monday Night. Is that a game where some weird
stuff starts happening there? To begin the NFL season, The
great equalizer is the Jets, though, that's the great equalizer.
Remember that story we talked about while back involving kicker
Brandon McManus, who was let go from his NFL job.
(32:20):
There were some accusations of sexual assault. A couple of
women filed that claim as happened supposedly back in October
of twenty twenty three when he was with Jacksonville. And
now a word out. The lawsuit has been dismissed after
a judge and floor had a motion granted, a motion
(32:45):
from McManus's legal team, so it's not done. But the
women have ten days to use their proper names in
the lawsuit and amend the complaints. So it's still bouncing through.
And you want to take a guess who the lawyer
is involved in this? Ding ding ding ding ding. Yeah,
Tony Busby, the same guy that was the lawyer for
(33:06):
the women who all took checks when Deshaun Watson was
making claims and handed out all all that money. All right,

league player who failed with the Cardinals. He sucks with
