Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, the Friday Fun.
Welcome to the first day of September. Yeah, another new
month on the calendar. How exciting is that we're still
all alive. That's pretty good, right. So here in our
number one, we start out with the family drama, O
(00:22):
rama in the NFL. Wife's say the darnedest things? Do
you believe Kelly Stafford, that would be the wife of
Matthew Stafford, the longtime NFL quarterback. Do you believe Kelly
Stafford's remorse for her commentary about the ram locker room? Also,
how do you interpret the reaction to Deshaun Watson being
(00:43):
named captain of the Cleveland Browns? And why did the
Patriots go out on the waiver wire and pick up
Matt Corral. We'll talk about all that and more right
now here. It is our number one. Bliss. Oh, it's
so good. Not always, though not always when you're in
(01:05):
the NFL. Wel come and the beginning of another edition
of the Benmahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
eyeball the eyeball, as we beam with quality or do
we coast the coast, border, the border and beyond all
(01:28):
the mast and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsre mmnating live
from a wing, one, a wing and a prayer. We
are broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection of over ten
(01:51):
thousand recommended in stallars tyrack dot com. The way tire
buying should be So a couple of logistical notes before
we get into the meat of the matter. Here the
first logistical note, I was going to start with the
big baseball game in La La Land, the Dodgers and
(02:13):
the Atlanta Breis, but we are currently being covered up
on the live feed in Los Angeles, so I'm gonna
wait because I want to waste a hot take on
the Dodgers until we get that big LA audience that
will join us a little bit later this hour. So
we'll do that later on on the night. And also,
if you follow me on social media, which you should,
(02:35):
man am I entertaining to follow unless I'm not. I
actually I am not that entertaining. I don't spend a
lot of time on there except during the show, to
be perfectly honest, but it helps me out when you
follow me. So I did send a very vague cryptic
message out I will be making what is a pretty
big announcement, but you'll have to be the judge of that.
That'll be coming up in the final hour of the show,
(02:57):
which means you will not be listened thing because you
will be doing something else, whether it's sleeping or God
only knows what. But I will be here so way
down the line, in the five am Eastern hour, two
am in the West, I will have what I think
is of note. If you're a fan of the show,
I think you will appreciate that. So anyway, our lead
(03:19):
this hour coming from the NFL. The spin rate has
been elevated to a certain level there at a very
high level, elevated level there in Los Angeles. The fallout
from Matthew Stafford. I love this story. This a good
I did a monologue about this the other day, and
I'm back again. I am back at the soup kitchen again. So,
(03:41):
Matthew Stafford, if you somehow have been down by the
river and have him been paying attention Matthew Stafford being
put on blast for his communication skills or lack thereof, now,
Kelly Stafford, that would be his bride. She said that
her husband has had a lot of difficulty trying to
(04:02):
communicate with the younger players on the Rams. It seems
they are in zombie mode. It's all about the fount,
It's all about the phone, which is I hate to
break it to people, not just the kids, it's everybody anyway.
If you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not.
The story still has legs. This has been an all
(04:23):
week story. So the latest is Matthew Stafford's wife expressed remorse,
remorse for her comments about the culture or the lock
thereof between the Rams players and her husband, Stafford's husband,
Matthew Stafford. Kelly Stafford her husband anyway, So she says
(04:45):
she felt bad and added that she stuck her foot
in her mouth. That was the the quote. So let
us discuss the question. Do you believe Kelly Stafford's remorse
for the common she made about her husband, the Rams
quarterback Matthew Stafford in the locker room. And so I
(05:07):
am giving this one a little bit of side eye.
I've got toothpaste, whoopy cushion, but not whoopy pie Blair
and frog legs. And we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a massive
migraine headache, which is what Sean McVay has right now.
So number why Yeah, I mentioned I'm giving this Saturday.
(05:32):
Kelly Stafford. I should not know her name. You should
not know her name, but clearly she has mastered the
art of writing the coattails of her husband here. I
know it's the family business and all that, but man,
it's good for my profession that we have this, but
it's still wild to me. These stories have popped up
every couple of months, probably sooner than that, we get
(05:55):
a story like this where someone's wife or girl, old friend,
a big name athlete becomes the story. I haven't quite
figured out that dynamic. I'm not smart enough to know
why that is. But Kelly Stafford, the wife in this
particular story, the one we're talking about right now with
the rams, now, she is guilty of cross checking her husband.
(06:21):
I believe in hockey that's a two minute penalty there,
so you gotta go to the penalty box. And is
it true that while Kelly Stafford has remorse, she never denied,
never denied that what she said was true. And is
it also fact that Matthew Stafford's wife merely feels guilty
(06:44):
because she's unable to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
It's all over the place. So the Rams who are
already doing a high wire act because their roster is
devoid of the same level of talent that they had
when they were winning, and they're doing this walk on
(07:06):
the high wire over a lake of molten lava. And
you've got Sean McVay, who is gonna need another sabbatical
after this season because the Rams are as bad as
they appear. I don't think they're gonna be that bad.
I think they'll be average, which is probably worse when
you're average. That's a different conversation. But McVeigh, I mean,
the Rams have had decent, good teams and McVeigh has
(07:29):
been on the brink. So he's gonna need a sabbatical.
Layer take a little break, is what he's gonna need. Now,
turning the page, we go to Cleveland. Why that's where
the story is. The Brownies have done it yet again.
The Browns announced that the creepy quarterback DeShawn Watson has
been voted by his teammates allegedly as one of the
(07:52):
five season long captains for the Cleveland football team. Now,
my take on this is simple. I'm gonna my tinfoil cap.
I am going full conspiracy theory. All of these announcements
about team captains, I am skeptical of them. I'm skeptical
all of them. I'm going on this one. Election fraud, Yes,
(08:16):
vote counting in proper. On this, I'm going there, why not?
I can be indicted, But I just don't buy it, right,
I don't buy this is a terrible look for the
Cleveland Browns franchise. And the great thing is they're so
obtuse they don't even realize. They don't hear. You had
Kevin Stefanski, you talk about hanging on by your fingernails.
(08:37):
Kevin Stefanski, the head coach there praising Deshaun Watson is
essentially a natural born leader, praising him for his motivation
skills and so much more. Well, he really gets motivated.
He gets those massage therapists motivated. Now fans around the NFL.
Of course, the pushback has been wild. And this is
where I said the Browns are obtoose. You've had a
(08:59):
lot of hissing, jeering, and ridiculing the Cleveland Browns. Deshaun
Watson is the highest paid quarterback in the NFL's history
in terms of guaranteed money, and he is as crooked
as a dog's hind leg. And he used his money. Yes,
I'm all, if we had the money, we'd all do
it if we got into trouble. He used his money
(09:20):
to buy silence, and people took the money. And that's
the way of the world. That's how the system works.
I get it. But in the court of public opinion
it has not quite worked out. So how do you
interpret the reaction where you've got the Browns celebrating Deshaun
Watson and you've got the public throwing haymakers at Deshaun
(09:45):
Watson and the Cleveland Browns. How do you interpret all this?
So the Browns are the whoopee cushion of the NFL.
When you're a kid, and I'm not sure exactly the age,
maybe it's like seven or eight, maybe it's younger than that,
when you first experience a whoop cushion, and every kid,
I don't care, boy, girl, whatever. Every kid laughs hysterically
(10:10):
at the sound of fake fatulance flatches. It's just wonderful, right,
I mean, everyone points now Kevin Stefanski. Though, this guy
the coach of the Browns. He needs to take a shower,
is what he needs, because the quotes he gave here,
he put on knee pads and he went slopper chops
in praising Deshaun Wasson, Like, what are you doing? I mean,
(10:32):
I know you can't kill him, you can't rip him
because you're the coach. I get that, But you also
don't have to go the other way. You don't have
to go over the top. You can be in the middle.
It's okay to be in the middle on this one
final point. So a quick visit to Patriot Place, the
roster shuffle continues. You gotta do the shuffle. So New
(10:54):
England snatched former Carolina quarterback Matt corral On Waivers. Now
why would we mention this, Well, because it's the Patriots
and they had no backup quarterback. It's a wild story
that they released all their backup quarterbacks. Now, they brought
him back for the practice squad, but Matt Jones was
the only quarterback on the roster. So now Coral is
(11:18):
going to be the number two option on the depth chart.
He played at ol Miss. He's a SoCal guy, but
Why did the Patriots pick this guy up? Of all
the quarterbacks that were fired at the roster cutdown day,
why did they go this direction? So my theory here,
and I spent at least three minutes on this to
I blame Billy out right. Bill O'Brien is the offensive
(11:41):
coordinator there. He is Belichick's right hand man. Bizarre of offense.
And I envision in that cartoon bubble atop my head,
I envision Bill O'Brien having a bib on and eating
frog legs. And Bailey Zappy was unpleasant, he was unpopular.
Now Bill O'Brien is bringing in a new frog. And
(12:03):
as the old line goes from all the fairy tales,
you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you
find your new prince. Now, is Matt Coral gonna be
the new prince? Probably not? Right? Probably not? And he
has the tag I mean coming out of college. People
liked him coming out of the SEC, even though he
played Old Miss, which is not a power in the
Southeastern Conference. But they thought he had a good arm
(12:25):
and all. I don't think anyone that gets drafted in
the three rounds of the draft has a crappy arm,
but he got hurt. He didn't played that much and
it would not be shocking though, considering the arc of
the Patriots and mac Jones. He got hurt last year.
If whoever the backup quarterback is, whether it's this Jibbroni
or some other Jabbroni, will get a fair amount of
(12:48):
playing time. All right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What sports is Old Miss good at? They're not good
at football, they're not good at basketball. What do they
They have a good volleyball team there, they have a
bowling team. They have a really good bowling team, No,
Jeff writes, and so the Staffords are the ben Stein
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the younger players are
these students chewing on their pencil and falling asleep and
(17:27):
drooling on their desk. Well, I like that analogy from
a movie that is at least thirty years old, probably
more than that. So I do like the analogy, though
I appreciate it. Benit though, the cowboy fan writes, and
he says that is the worlds of LeVar Arrington are
the words of a LeVar Arrington. Rather, I agree when
(17:47):
he said Matthew Stafford ain't nothing but a bedroom snitch. Yeah, well,
see my problem is not with Stafford. Okay, with Matthew
Stone after he's been married for a long time, isn't
there Like I tell my wife's stuff, but she doesn't.
(18:07):
You know, she's hardly on social media anymore. I don't
think she's on there at all, and so she didn't
say anything, or if she says something, it's the people
that aren't going to impact what I whatever I said,
whatever gossip about the job I told her. And shouldn't
that be the rule if you're married? Well, I don't
care if you're a dude or what. I don't care whatever,
whatever your situation, you should just kind of keep it yourself.
(18:29):
But not quite the not quite the case there, I'm
still getting Buffalo bill propaganda from Andy the comic book guy,
who is absolutely relentless, absolutely relentless with this bill's propaganda.
My god, all right, let's go to the phones. We'll
start out. Let's say hello, let's go to Redbreast Paul,
(18:49):
who's in the great state of Rhode Island.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Hello, welcome back man. Listen, Uh, Kelly has done this
before with Patricia back in Detroit. You know she's got
to put the phone down or opinions whatever. Okay, my
Matches's staff is not done in that division. Okay, gee,
he's not done. Okay, let's put it this way. I'm
(19:15):
counting on them.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Mother.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
It's a wildcot or the playoffs. Okay, now get back to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Wait wait, wait, waitit old time out here. That's your
first take. You think I'm a RAM fan. I don't
think they're making the playoffs, don't think they're gonna sniff
the playoffs. And you think the Rams are gonna make
the playoffs playoffs? Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
What do you want?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Morris cousin? What's the matter with you?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Playoffs?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Hey, I'm I'm allowed to use that because you know,
Jim used to work here back in the day. But
the reason, let me let me, let me educate you
a little bit here, all right, red breast Paul, right,
don't go, don't don't dismiss me. How damn you I
said down to you? All right, well, thank you? You
you should on. I mean, anyway, listen, Matthew Stafford. The
(20:02):
reason he is not walking away from the La Rams.
There are, I believe, forty four million reasons. I think
when you can bind all the money, he's getting about
forty four million. I guess it's the actual cash is
like twenty seven and a half, but ye have factor
in the signing bonus and all that. So yeah, he
ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He's getting almost.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Thirty million dollars to play quarterback for the Rams and
he got sixty one million last year. Good for him.
That's a great mitzvah.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Correct. Now, what do you need Eric the enemy type
of coach over there to he's pussy little young guys
that can't take a little criticism. Is that what you need.
You need Eric the enemy over there? Is that what
you need?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Listen, man, I don't have a problem with that kind
of coaching, Paul, but the modern athlete does not like that.
The modern athlete runs the social media and it is
like a war crime. They need guys like Eric the enemy.
You need to have a war tribunal. How dare you
it's not.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Well guess what. Guess what? He can talk to his
brothers that way. Okay, but so he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Are you are you are really going for it tonight?
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Point? Yeah, I'm going I'm going for it. Now. Let's
get back to the part of the land. Let's let's
get back to this part of the land that gave
me a country. Okay, Now they went after Matt Corral.
Loved the kid. He's fine. But you're gonna tell me what.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Time out of time? You love the kid? How do
you love the kid?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I love the kid. Do you know why?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Why? Because he's different?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
No, because these owners want exposed these young players coming
out of college. And look what happened to Borrow. Look
what happened to many other young guys that got burned
when they got exposed like that. Whether it's preseason or practice,
but preseason. Look what happened to Burrow his first year.
Now I'm gonna say this one time, at one time only.
(21:52):
There's a guy. There's a guy in Tampa Bay that
he's living that biker Mayfield took his job. This guy,
his name is Kyle Trask, got schooled for two and
a half years by Brady with Brady's playbook. And this moron,
I don't mean to say moron, but nukuon ask for
(22:15):
this guy to come over instead of instead of again,
this guy, because you got.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
All right, you're boring me. I gotta go, thank you,
I gotta go. Wild Eye Southern Boy formerly known by
a different name on the show, he's changed his name.
There are many brigadier generals in the Malin Militia very
upset that he's been allowed to change his name from
Sir scratch Off. But he writes in wild Eyed Southern
Boy and says eating best eating love me some frog legs.
(22:45):
And since I mentioned my love of Fozzy Bear, I
am now getting peppered with waka waka waka from g
Man's in Chicago, A bunch of other knuckleheads Jason and whatnot.

seven early third quarter. There was a two and a

Yeah, it's like a week zero there. My wife is like, oh,
isn't USC playing? Like yeah, what channel they on? They're
not on any chat. It's Pack twelve network. Nobody is channel.
Speaker 1 (25:25):

made all those deals, he's he's rich. Good for him.
He's got a big mansion.

Big story in sports television here as moments before the
college football The real college football season began here on
Thursday night with a couple of made for TV matchups,
(26:31):
kind of made for TV matchups. A cable TV battle
Royale took place, and they flipped the switch and the
people at Spectrum shut off the Entertainment and Sports network
right before they were going to broadcast the Florida Gators
Utah Uthes matchup. And so people are settling in to
(26:55):
enjoy a nice game and flip flip it, flip it cuts.
It's all over now they shut off that channel. There's
a contract dispute between Spectrum and Disney, so there was
they put on a special message on the screen and
(27:16):
saying they couldn't agree to a deal. And what do
you think the reaction was of the the fellas, as
Anthony Organo would say, who were just wanting to kind
of cuddle up with the TV, enjoy a game or
watch on their phone or whatever. Uh yeah, man, they
just had a They went backpoop crazy. They just went nuts,
(27:41):
just absolutely nuts and craziness. Now you gotta think this
was an intentional act, right, This was an intention that
It's like the people at Disney probably had no no
thought that they would possibly have the balls at the
at the company Spectrum to do this, Like who would
do that. That's such an inconvenience, uh to do that
(28:04):
at that time. But they did. They went, they went
to the third rail. Momiam, they went to the third rail,
and we are going to go to the Bay area.
Let's say hello to our friend Ernesto. What's going on
or Nesto in the bay.
Speaker 5 (28:18):

you been doing traveling around? Still?
Speaker 6 (28:25):
I no, I've been working, although I do go to
Columbia a few times a year.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh yeah, year. You got family friends. What are you
going on down there?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Friends, friends of friends in high places.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I've never been to Colombia. Is it is it cheap?
Is it nice? It looks beautiful. I'm I'm there's a
lot of interesting things. When I was a kid man,
If you want a cocaine, that was where you went
at Colombia?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Yeah, no, Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
It's uh depending on where you go. If you go
to the Kurban coast, it's hot and humid and uh yeah,
your mother, your money goes a long way.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I like that. That's music to my ears. As you know,
I'm a fan.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I was telling toop Uh, I'm going to go to
Jacksonville this year for the Niner game, and I was
seeing if I could meet up with Angry Bill.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Now you don't want to You don't want to do that. No, No,
you don't. You don't need to do that. There's no
there's no need. Now you try to find when you're
in Florida. I don't know that he's still around anymore.
The Boston Hater lived outside Jacksonville. We have not heard
from him, so we don't think he's We don't think
he's around anymore, unfortunately, but he lived in and there.
Are you gonna be in the pool or Nesto. Are
(29:37):
you gonna be wearing your forty nine or jersey in
the pool swimming around there in Jacksonville?
Speaker 5 (29:42):
That's a possibility.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, that I like Jacksonville this year. I'm I'm I'm
probably losing my mind, but I think Jacksonville is gonna
be great this year. I do crazy.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
You don't think they overachieved last year?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
No, they added some more players this offseason. Calvin Ridley,
if he's not that on games, a good player, and
some of the other moves they made. They got a
couple guys on defense. So anyway, uh, what do you
got any you want? You want to do the oath?
Or Nesto, is that right? I'm told you want to
do the oath? Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
That's accurate.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I'm going to be an ambassador the for the Ben
Malarch Show, and I want to get Jeg who fled
and Avery Bill together.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, all right, well Jed, I don't I don't think
Jed can leave where he's at right now because his
probation officer might feel a little upset by But anyway,
all right, here we go. Just repeat after me, or Nesto,
are you ready?
Speaker 5 (30:30):

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Blowhards against hostile attacks from rival sports gas bags and blowhards.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
So help me, God, So help me.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
God, Ernesto, you have just been sworn in live on
the radio. You are now official, not that you weren't already,
because you I mean you've been to many of these
mallor meet and greets. I mean, heck you were. You
were in Minnesota. Man, you've been all over. But you
are now officially officially in the militia. Thank you for
your support over the leader, Ernesto. How much fun was
(31:33):
that Minnesota thing? Though? That was cool?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Right?
Speaker 6 (31:35):
That was that was pretty cool. Although I missed out
on the Juicy Lucy I should have went with you
to that.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I went to the top three juicy Lucy places in
the Twin Cities. It's all three of them.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, I probably gained ten pounds while I was there,
but it was worth it. Why not? Anyway, I think
you so enjoy your travels. Let us know how it goes. Okay,
give us the eyewitness account there and we'll try to
hook you up with Angry Bill, but you know you
don't want to hang out with him. Thank you. All Right,
It is the Ban Malord Show as we continue on
the Monster Mash the NFL season starting next week less
(32:09):
than a week next Thursday, NFL season begains. It's our
Friday Show, and we learned, according to the people over
at Forbes, NFL teams, the combined value of NFL teams
they sold every NFL team, the combined value of those
NFL teams one hundred and sixty three billion dollars. Isn't
(32:34):
that a mind blowing amount of course, it's a mind
blowing amount of money. That is more than the NBA
and Major League Baseball combined. If you put all, you
can buy every NBA team and Major League Baseball team,
or you could get the NFL, and it's even more
than that. So now I did look, Steve Balmer, the
(32:57):
guy that's the richest owner in the US sports, could
not buy the NFL. He used to a few years ago.
He had enough money to buy the NFL, but his
ninety nine billion dollars is still going to be sixty
four billion short of buying the NFL as a whole time. Now,
for we're gonna have the the who am I? Game? Here?
Let me give you who am we got? Game? Right now?
We'll have the MLB pick him? Here's the who Am I? Game?
(33:19):
Greg Maddox had the most starts in MLB history with
no walks. I am the only other pitcher since nineteen
eighty who was in the top five in that category. Again,
Greg Maddox, most starts in Big League history all time
with no walks. I am the only other pitcher since
nineteen eighty to be in the top five all time
(33:40):
in that category. Who am I? The answer? We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Quiet
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, the Friday Fun.
Welcome to the first day of September. Yeah, another new
month on the calendar. How exciting is that we're still
all alive. That's pretty good, right. So here in our
number one, we start out with the family drama, O
(00:22):
rama in the NFL. Wife's say the darnedest things? Do
you believe Kelly Stafford, that would be the wife of
Matthew Stafford, the longtime NFL quarterback. Do you believe Kelly
Stafford's remorse for her commentary about the ram locker room? Also,
how do you interpret the reaction to Deshaun Watson being
(00:43):
named captain of the Cleveland Browns? And why did the
Patriots go out on the waiver wire and pick up
Matt Corral. We'll talk about all that and more right
now here. It is our number one. Bliss. Oh, it's
so good. Not always, though not always when you're in
(01:05):
the NFL. Wel come and the beginning of another edition
of the Benmahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
eyeball the eyeball, as we beam with quality or do
we coast the coast, border, the border and beyond all
(01:28):
the mast and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsre mmnating live
from a wing, one, a wing and a prayer. We
are broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection of over ten
(01:51):
thousand recommended in stallars tyrack dot com. The way tire
buying should be So a couple of logistical notes before
we get into the meat of the matter. Here the
first logistical note, I was going to start with the
big baseball game in La La Land, the Dodgers and
(02:13):
the Atlanta Breis, but we are currently being covered up
on the live feed in Los Angeles, so I'm gonna
wait because I want to waste a hot take on
the Dodgers until we get that big LA audience that
will join us a little bit later this hour. So
we'll do that later on on the night. And also,
if you follow me on social media, which you should,
(02:35):
man am I entertaining to follow unless I'm not. I
actually I am not that entertaining. I don't spend a
lot of time on there except during the show, to
be perfectly honest, but it helps me out when you
follow me. So I did send a very vague cryptic
message out I will be making what is a pretty
big announcement, but you'll have to be the judge of that.
That'll be coming up in the final hour of the show,
(02:57):
which means you will not be listened thing because you
will be doing something else, whether it's sleeping or God
only knows what. But I will be here so way
down the line, in the five am Eastern hour, two
am in the West, I will have what I think
is of note. If you're a fan of the show,
I think you will appreciate that. So anyway, our lead
(03:19):
this hour coming from the NFL. The spin rate has
been elevated to a certain level there at a very
high level, elevated level there in Los Angeles. The fallout
from Matthew Stafford. I love this story. This a good
I did a monologue about this the other day, and
I'm back again. I am back at the soup kitchen again. So,
(03:41):
Matthew Stafford, if you somehow have been down by the
river and have him been paying attention Matthew Stafford being
put on blast for his communication skills or lack thereof, now,
Kelly Stafford, that would be his bride. She said that
her husband has had a lot of difficulty trying to
(04:02):
communicate with the younger players on the Rams. It seems
they are in zombie mode. It's all about the fount,
It's all about the phone, which is I hate to
break it to people, not just the kids, it's everybody anyway.
If you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not.
The story still has legs. This has been an all
(04:23):
week story. So the latest is Matthew Stafford's wife expressed remorse,
remorse for her comments about the culture or the lock
thereof between the Rams players and her husband, Stafford's husband,
Matthew Stafford. Kelly Stafford her husband anyway, So she says
(04:45):
she felt bad and added that she stuck her foot
in her mouth. That was the the quote. So let
us discuss the question. Do you believe Kelly Stafford's remorse
for the common she made about her husband, the Rams
quarterback Matthew Stafford in the locker room. And so I
(05:07):
am giving this one a little bit of side eye.
I've got toothpaste, whoopy cushion, but not whoopy pie Blair
and frog legs. And we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a massive
migraine headache, which is what Sean McVay has right now.
So number why Yeah, I mentioned I'm giving this Saturday.
(05:32):
Kelly Stafford. I should not know her name. You should
not know her name, but clearly she has mastered the
art of writing the coattails of her husband here. I
know it's the family business and all that, but man,
it's good for my profession that we have this, but
it's still wild to me. These stories have popped up
every couple of months, probably sooner than that, we get
(05:55):
a story like this where someone's wife or girl, old friend,
a big name athlete becomes the story. I haven't quite
figured out that dynamic. I'm not smart enough to know
why that is. But Kelly Stafford, the wife in this
particular story, the one we're talking about right now with
the rams, now, she is guilty of cross checking her husband.
(06:21):
I believe in hockey that's a two minute penalty there,
so you gotta go to the penalty box. And is
it true that while Kelly Stafford has remorse, she never denied,
never denied that what she said was true. And is
it also fact that Matthew Stafford's wife merely feels guilty
(06:44):
because she's unable to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
It's all over the place. So the Rams who are
already doing a high wire act because their roster is
devoid of the same level of talent that they had
when they were winning, and they're doing this walk on
(07:06):
the high wire over a lake of molten lava. And
you've got Sean McVay, who is gonna need another sabbatical
after this season because the Rams are as bad as
they appear. I don't think they're gonna be that bad.
I think they'll be average, which is probably worse when
you're average. That's a different conversation. But McVeigh, I mean,
the Rams have had decent, good teams and McVeigh has
(07:29):
been on the brink. So he's gonna need a sabbatical.
Layer take a little break, is what he's gonna need. Now,
turning the page, we go to Cleveland. Why that's where
the story is. The Brownies have done it yet again.
The Browns announced that the creepy quarterback DeShawn Watson has
been voted by his teammates allegedly as one of the
(07:52):
five season long captains for the Cleveland football team. Now,
my take on this is simple. I'm gonna my tinfoil cap.
I am going full conspiracy theory. All of these announcements
about team captains, I am skeptical of them. I'm skeptical
all of them. I'm going on this one. Election fraud, Yes,
(08:16):
vote counting in proper. On this, I'm going there, why not?
I can be indicted, But I just don't buy it, right,
I don't buy this is a terrible look for the
Cleveland Browns franchise. And the great thing is they're so
obtuse they don't even realize. They don't hear. You had
Kevin Stefanski, you talk about hanging on by your fingernails.
(08:37):
Kevin Stefanski, the head coach there praising Deshaun Watson is
essentially a natural born leader, praising him for his motivation
skills and so much more. Well, he really gets motivated.
He gets those massage therapists motivated. Now fans around the NFL.
Of course, the pushback has been wild. And this is
where I said the Browns are obtoose. You've had a
(08:59):
lot of hissing, jeering, and ridiculing the Cleveland Browns. Deshaun
Watson is the highest paid quarterback in the NFL's history
in terms of guaranteed money, and he is as crooked
as a dog's hind leg. And he used his money. Yes,
I'm all, if we had the money, we'd all do
it if we got into trouble. He used his money
(09:20):
to buy silence, and people took the money. And that's
the way of the world. That's how the system works.
I get it. But in the court of public opinion
it has not quite worked out. So how do you
interpret the reaction where you've got the Browns celebrating Deshaun
Watson and you've got the public throwing haymakers at Deshaun
(09:45):
Watson and the Cleveland Browns. How do you interpret all this?
So the Browns are the whoopee cushion of the NFL.
When you're a kid, and I'm not sure exactly the age,
maybe it's like seven or eight, maybe it's younger than that,
when you first experience a whoop cushion, and every kid,
I don't care, boy, girl, whatever. Every kid laughs hysterically
(10:10):
at the sound of fake fatulance flatches. It's just wonderful, right,
I mean, everyone points now Kevin Stefanski. Though, this guy
the coach of the Browns. He needs to take a shower,
is what he needs, because the quotes he gave here,
he put on knee pads and he went slopper chops
in praising Deshaun Wasson, Like, what are you doing? I mean,
(10:32):
I know you can't kill him, you can't rip him
because you're the coach. I get that, But you also
don't have to go the other way. You don't have
to go over the top. You can be in the middle.
It's okay to be in the middle on this one
final point. So a quick visit to Patriot Place, the
roster shuffle continues. You gotta do the shuffle. So New
(10:54):
England snatched former Carolina quarterback Matt corral On Waivers. Now
why would we mention this, Well, because it's the Patriots
and they had no backup quarterback. It's a wild story
that they released all their backup quarterbacks. Now, they brought
him back for the practice squad, but Matt Jones was
the only quarterback on the roster. So now Coral is
(11:18):
going to be the number two option on the depth chart.
He played at ol Miss. He's a SoCal guy, but
Why did the Patriots pick this guy up? Of all
the quarterbacks that were fired at the roster cutdown day,
why did they go this direction? So my theory here,
and I spent at least three minutes on this to
I blame Billy out right. Bill O'Brien is the offensive
(11:41):
coordinator there. He is Belichick's right hand man. Bizarre of offense.
And I envision in that cartoon bubble atop my head,
I envision Bill O'Brien having a bib on and eating
frog legs. And Bailey Zappy was unpleasant, he was unpopular.
Now Bill O'Brien is bringing in a new frog. And
(12:03):
as the old line goes from all the fairy tales,
you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you
find your new prince. Now, is Matt Coral gonna be
the new prince? Probably not? Right? Probably not? And he
has the tag I mean coming out of college. People
liked him coming out of the SEC, even though he
played Old Miss, which is not a power in the
Southeastern Conference. But they thought he had a good arm
(12:25):
and all. I don't think anyone that gets drafted in
the three rounds of the draft has a crappy arm,
but he got hurt. He didn't played that much and
it would not be shocking though, considering the arc of
the Patriots and mac Jones. He got hurt last year.
If whoever the backup quarterback is, whether it's this Jibbroni
or some other Jabbroni, will get a fair amount of
(12:48):
playing time. All right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you would like to be part of this? And who
wouldn't want to be a part of this? Eight seven
seven ninety nine on five. I get emails pretty much

and some other surprises along the way. Crying Craig from
Seattle rights and he says, if I ever saw frog
legs on my dinner plate, I'd cry, I'd cry my
(15:14):
eyes out. Crickets too yuck, nasty blah blah, nasty foods,
foods that will never eat. No, I'm there, and I
can't eat frog legs because of Kermie. And I grew
up with the Muppets. I was a child of the Muppets,
and Kermie's might got well. I was more like a
fozzy bear guy Waka waka waka, but you know, old
(15:35):
school Muppets. It's kind of crappy entertainment I had when
I was a kid. Late Night Drug Tester right says it,

(15:59):
Freddie writes it. He says, a plus plus on the
mallor monologue. Ferg Cat very concerned about the big announcement.

Richard writes in and mentions a bunch of ram Felons

(16:44):
like that you have kept all those names though. I
do like that. Oh you must be a Cleveland Browns fan.
Is that it? Yeah, you must be a Browns fan.
The Brian Finley Burner account rights in. This can't be
Brian Finley. He would not be sending a text into
the show. He says, how dare you say Old Miss
is not a power in the Southeastern Commerce?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What sports is Old Miss good at? They're not good
at football, they're not good at basketball. What do they
They have a good volleyball team there, they have a
bowling team. They have a really good bowling team, No,
Jeff writes, and so the Staffords are the ben Stein
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the younger players are
these students chewing on their pencil and falling asleep and
(17:27):
drooling on their desk. Well, I like that analogy from
a movie that is at least thirty years old, probably
more than that. So I do like the analogy, though
I appreciate it. Benit though, the cowboy fan writes, and
he says that is the worlds of LeVar Arrington are
the words of a LeVar Arrington. Rather, I agree when
(17:47):
he said Matthew Stafford ain't nothing but a bedroom snitch. Yeah, well,
see my problem is not with Stafford. Okay, with Matthew
Stone after he's been married for a long time, isn't
there Like I tell my wife's stuff, but she doesn't.
(18:07):
You know, she's hardly on social media anymore. I don't
think she's on there at all, and so she didn't
say anything, or if she says something, it's the people
that aren't going to impact what I whatever I said,
whatever gossip about the job I told her. And shouldn't
that be the rule if you're married? Well, I don't
care if you're a dude or what. I don't care whatever,
whatever your situation, you should just kind of keep it yourself.
(18:29):
But not quite the not quite the case there, I'm
still getting Buffalo bill propaganda from Andy the comic book guy,
who is absolutely relentless, absolutely relentless with this bill's propaganda.
My god, all right, let's go to the phones. We'll
start out. Let's say hello, let's go to Redbreast Paul,
(18:49):
who's in the great state of Rhode Island.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Hello, welcome back man. Listen, Uh, Kelly has done this
before with Patricia back in Detroit. You know she's got
to put the phone down or opinions whatever. Okay, my
Matches's staff is not done in that division. Okay, gee,
he's not done. Okay, let's put it this way. I'm
(19:15):
counting on them.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Mother.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
It's a wildcot or the playoffs. Okay, now get back to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Wait wait, wait, waitit old time out here. That's your
first take. You think I'm a RAM fan. I don't
think they're making the playoffs, don't think they're gonna sniff
the playoffs. And you think the Rams are gonna make
the playoffs playoffs? Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
What do you want?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Morris cousin? What's the matter with you?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Playoffs?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Hey, I'm I'm allowed to use that because you know,
Jim used to work here back in the day. But
the reason, let me let me, let me educate you
a little bit here, all right, red breast Paul, right,
don't go, don't don't dismiss me. How damn you I
said down to you? All right, well, thank you? You
you should on. I mean, anyway, listen, Matthew Stafford. The
(20:02):
reason he is not walking away from the La Rams.
There are, I believe, forty four million reasons. I think
when you can bind all the money, he's getting about
forty four million. I guess it's the actual cash is
like twenty seven and a half, but ye have factor
in the signing bonus and all that. So yeah, he
ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He's getting almost.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Thirty million dollars to play quarterback for the Rams and
he got sixty one million last year. Good for him.
That's a great mitzvah.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Correct. Now, what do you need Eric the enemy type
of coach over there to he's pussy little young guys
that can't take a little criticism. Is that what you need.
You need Eric the enemy over there? Is that what
you need?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Listen, man, I don't have a problem with that kind
of coaching, Paul, but the modern athlete does not like that.
The modern athlete runs the social media and it is
like a war crime. They need guys like Eric the enemy.
You need to have a war tribunal. How dare you
it's not.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Well guess what. Guess what? He can talk to his
brothers that way. Okay, but so he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Are you are you are really going for it tonight?
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Point? Yeah, I'm going I'm going for it. Now. Let's
get back to the part of the land. Let's let's
get back to this part of the land that gave
me a country. Okay, Now they went after Matt Corral.
Loved the kid. He's fine. But you're gonna tell me what.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Time out of time? You love the kid? How do
you love the kid?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I love the kid. Do you know why?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Why? Because he's different?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
No, because these owners want exposed these young players coming
out of college. And look what happened to Borrow. Look
what happened to many other young guys that got burned
when they got exposed like that. Whether it's preseason or practice,
but preseason. Look what happened to Burrow his first year.
Now I'm gonna say this one time, at one time only.
(21:52):
There's a guy. There's a guy in Tampa Bay that
he's living that biker Mayfield took his job. This guy,
his name is Kyle Trask, got schooled for two and
a half years by Brady with Brady's playbook. And this moron,
I don't mean to say moron, but nukuon ask for
(22:15):
this guy to come over instead of instead of again,
this guy, because you got.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
All right, you're boring me. I gotta go, thank you,
I gotta go. Wild Eye Southern Boy formerly known by
a different name on the show, he's changed his name.
There are many brigadier generals in the Malin Militia very
upset that he's been allowed to change his name from
Sir scratch Off. But he writes in wild Eyed Southern
Boy and says eating best eating love me some frog legs.

Oh really is that on TV?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Well, do you get the PAC twelve network? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Can I can look around a few places.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Oh, you may have a Russian website you can tinue into.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That would be wrong, Eddy, that would be a problem.
I would ever do that. Hell, you wouldn't ever.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Do something that's Arizona State is leading Southern Utah twenty
seven early third quarter. There was a two and a
half hour dust storm and lightning delay in Tenpe.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I love that. That is such a great Arizona delay.
Is that not the most perfect Arizona delay? A dust storm?
Right out of a Bible. I'm looking at one of
the places here that do not see I don't see
that game any go somewhere else here? Yeah, not on
my I'll watch that pack You said PAC twelve network
(25:03):

Speaker 1 (25:06):
What are they doing with that network when the PAC
twelve goes away? Are they gonna make that like, well.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
It's no one's going to know because nobody watches.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is so so they vanished and.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah, it's like a week zero there. My wife is like, oh,
isn't USC playing? Like yeah, what channel they on? They're
not on any chat. It's Pack twelve network. Nobody is channel.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So yeah, well that's unfortunate. But the good news is
that guy Larry Scott, that was the commission when they
made all those deals, he's he's rich. Good for him.
He's got a big mansion.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Probably swimming right now in his pool. He's got a

a terrorist. No, no better than that. You just run us.

Big story in sports television here as moments before the
college football The real college football season began here on
Thursday night with a couple of made for TV matchups,
(26:31):
kind of made for TV matchups. A cable TV battle
Royale took place, and they flipped the switch and the
people at Spectrum shut off the Entertainment and Sports network
right before they were going to broadcast the Florida Gators
Utah Uthes matchup. And so people are settling in to
(26:55):
enjoy a nice game and flip flip it, flip it cuts.
It's all over now they shut off that channel. There's
a contract dispute between Spectrum and Disney, so there was
they put on a special message on the screen and
(27:16):
saying they couldn't agree to a deal. And what do
you think the reaction was of the the fellas, as
Anthony Organo would say, who were just wanting to kind
of cuddle up with the TV, enjoy a game or
watch on their phone or whatever. Uh yeah, man, they
just had a They went backpoop crazy. They just went nuts,
(27:41):
just absolutely nuts and craziness. Now you gotta think this
was an intentional act, right, This was an intention that
It's like the people at Disney probably had no no
thought that they would possibly have the balls at the
at the company Spectrum to do this, Like who would
do that. That's such an inconvenience, uh to do that
(28:04):
at that time. But they did. They went, they went
to the third rail. Momiam, they went to the third rail,
and we are going to go to the Bay area.
Let's say hello to our friend Ernesto. What's going on
or Nesto in the bay.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Hey, what's a big band? Long time? No see?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I've never been to Colombia. Is it is it cheap?
Is it nice? It looks beautiful. I'm I'm there's a
lot of interesting things. When I was a kid man,
If you want a cocaine, that was where you went
at Colombia?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Yeah, no, Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
It's uh depending on where you go. If you go

I like that. That's music to my ears. As you know,
I'm a fan.

Jacksonville this year for the Niner game, and I was
seeing if I could meet up with Angry Bill.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Now you don't want to You don't want to do that. No, No,
you don't. You don't need to do that. There's no
there's no need. Now you try to find when you're
in Florida. I don't know that he's still around anymore.
The Boston Hater lived outside Jacksonville. We have not heard
from him, so we don't think he's We don't think
he's around anymore, unfortunately, but he lived in and there.
Are you gonna be in the pool or Nesto. Are
(29:37):
you gonna be wearing your forty nine or jersey in
the pool swimming around there in Jacksonville?
Speaker 5 (29:42):
That's a possibility.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, that I like Jacksonville this year. I'm I'm I'm
probably losing my mind, but I think Jacksonville is gonna
be great this year. I do crazy.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
You don't think they overachieved last year?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
No, they added some more players this offseason. Calvin Ridley,
if he's not that on games, a good player, and
some of the other moves they made. They got a
couple guys on defense. So anyway, uh, what do you
got any you want? You want to do the oath?
Or Nesto, is that right? I'm told you want to
do the oath? Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
That's accurate.

I'm going to be an ambassador the for the Ben
Malarch Show, and I want to get Jeg who fled
and Avery Bill together.

probation officer might feel a little upset by But anyway,
all right, here we go. Just repeat after me, or Nesto,

Speaker 4 (31:10):
So help me, God, So help me.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
God, Ernesto, you have just been sworn in live on
the radio. You are now official, not that you weren't already,
because you I mean you've been to many of these
mallor meet and greets. I mean, heck you were. You
were in Minnesota. Man, you've been all over. But you
are now officially officially in the militia. Thank you for
your support over the leader, Ernesto. How much fun was
(31:33):
that Minnesota thing? Though? That was cool?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Right?
Speaker 6 (31:35):
That was that was pretty cool. Although I missed out
on the Juicy Lucy I should have went with you
to that.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I went to the top three juicy Lucy places in
the Twin Cities. It's all three of them.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, I probably gained ten pounds while I was there,
but it was worth it. Why not? Anyway, I think
you so enjoy your travels. Let us know how it goes. Okay,
give us the eyewitness account there and we'll try to
hook you up with Angry Bill, but you know you
don't want to hang out with him. Thank you. All Right,
It is the Ban Malord Show as we continue on
the Monster Mash the NFL season starting next week less
(32:09):
than a week next Thursday, NFL season begains. It's our
Friday Show, and we learned, according to the people over
at Forbes, NFL teams, the combined value of NFL teams
they sold every NFL team, the combined value of those
NFL teams one hundred and sixty three billion dollars. Isn't
(32:34):
that a mind blowing amount of course, it's a mind
blowing amount of money. That is more than the NBA
and Major League Baseball combined. If you put all, you
can buy every NBA team and Major League Baseball team,
or you could get the NFL, and it's even more
than that. So now I did look, Steve Balmer, the
(32:57):
guy that's the richest owner in the US sports, could
not buy the NFL. He used to a few years ago.
He had enough money to buy the NFL, but his
ninety nine billion dollars is still going to be sixty
four billion short of buying the NFL as a whole time. Now,
for we're gonna have the the who am I? Game? Here?
Let me give you who am we got? Game? Right now?
We'll have the MLB pick him? Here's the who Am I? Game?

eighty who was in the top five in that category. Again,

The Comeback Kid, a guest by Art Puffin Page Down
(35:55):
the Arkansas cry Baby Trucker from the Philly rob Tribute
to cal Anthony and Anaheim going with Jason in Windsor. Yeah,
I'll bet you five ten years from that we hear
from Jason and Windsor. I bet you we hear from
him again before that. You think so, I think he'll
be back. Something's gonna happen. He'll be back. He misses
