Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding do.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two. Our number two is good for
you talking foot ball in a little baseball brawl as well.
Are you buying the Lamar Jackson hype tossed up by
wide receiver Rashod Bateman or is this just your standard
pre camp jawjacking or the Ravens quarterback also Brown's QB

(00:26):
Shoter Sanders picking up not one, but two speeding tickets
in twelve days.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
How significant is this?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
The Chiefs plan on using Travis kelcey early and often
in twenty twenty five? Is that alright with you? We'll
talk about all of that and more right now here.
It is our number two. It's all about that poetry.
Well kind of welcome in the beginning of another hour

(00:58):
of the Ben Ma Show.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
They just happened to keep happening one after another.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I know we are in the air everywhere as we
burst into speech and we take you on a flavorful
audio journey coast the coast, sport of the border and
beyond on the vast and lip smackingly powerful microphones of fsre.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Am monating live from.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
The pot as we hit an audio jackpot from the
Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by our friends Kathy
and Madison and Ruth in La.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
They are big fans of this show.

Speaker 2 (01:39):

and we thank them for that. And this portion of
the Ben Maler Show made possible in part by ty

Speaker 3 (02:11):
B.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
So our lead this hour is from football. We'll get
to the brew haha in La La Land, the Dodgers
and Podres having the managers go at it. We'll get
to that coming up in the B block, but we'll
begin this hour with football. Why that pays the bills
around here. We're going to start out in Baltimore. We're

(02:32):
roughly a month from now training camp opens up. Oh
always sounds good generally speaking. Generally speaking, the only thing
that is regularly accomplished in training camp is two or
three starting players going snap, crackle, pop and having season
ending injuries.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The Banbo is starting to warm up for the poets.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
And if you didn't see this because you were not
paying attention, bad job by you. Perhaps you missed it.
But the Ravens wide receiver, Rashad Bateman, he is a
spicy margarita. This guy saying that Lamar Jackson looks quote
locked in, claiming the rest of the NFL is quote
in trouble in twenty twenty five. O MG, that's for

(03:21):
shod Bateman. So let us discuss the question. Are you
buying the Lamar Jackson hype from Rashad Bateman or is
this just the standard pre camp jawjacking that takes place
pretty much every year. So my observations on this, I've
got Jim Nance, Universal Pictures and Greyhound Bus, and we

(03:45):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to cut out the wisdom teeth.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is what we're going to do, and then we're going to.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Enjoy the OUI gue goodness of a freshly baked cinnamon roll.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
So we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
All that number I said number all right, So I
give this a yawn and then I give it a
shoulder shrug.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I'm literally doing it. You can't see it because of
the radio and here's why.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right, if you look at your smartphone, the calendar on
your smartphone, it is June.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Now we're getting to the later part of June.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
And I file this particular story where again the receiver
Rashod Bateman talking very spicy, saying Lamar Jackson locked in,
and I claimed the NFL is in trouble. In twenty
twenty five, I filed this one as a Jim Nance story.
Now what does that mean? Jim Nance who carries a

(04:46):
photo of burnt toast in his wallet. Jim Nance when
he does the Masters, what is his catchphrase? A tradition
unlike any other. And that's what this is. It's not
a golf tournament, but it is a tradition unlike any other.
This is a classic teammate upsell. That's what you know.

(05:06):
Shad Bateman has a vested interest here. He's got a
little skin in the game. He's trying to get in
good with his quarterback, Lamar Jackson, guessing he thinks he'll
get targeted more this year.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
It's like going.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
In and having a meeting with your boss and just
putting sugar all over your boss. Right, smartest guy in
the room, and man, you're such a great boss.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's self interest.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You're looking out for yourself, You're trying to advance your situation. Now,
I'm not gonna sit here and say that players don't
look great in shorts, wearing helmets and all that when
they have their offseason practices, and I'm imagining I've never
been to the passing drills in Owing's mills, but I'm
imagining they're really good and just just wonderful at the
Ravens facility.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I believe that's where it is, and that's great.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
And then that leads to you planning a parade route,
getting your map out and trying, well, where's the parade
route to be? Where we stop at the Ray Lewis
statue to try to find the white suit?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Where's the white suit?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Ray? I don't know anyway. Now, Lamar, I'm not I'm
not gonna say, hey, he's not gonna be dangerus.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Of course he'll be dangerous. He's a multi time MVP.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
He could have, would have, should have maybe could have
didn't win the MVP last year Josh Allen did so
for Lamar Jackson, he'll be good. It doesn't matter though.
Lamar is now at the point in his story.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
If you look at the.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Novel of Lamar Jackson, we've now reached the part of
his book where the regular season is all but irrelevant.
It just is he's been that good. So where the
rubber meets the road is in the playoffs. And we
have seen this story before. We've seen it time and again.
It's always this is gonna be the year for Lamar.

(06:49):
And then you know, you wake up and nothing happened.
I wake me up in February when Lamar is getting
ready to travel to play in northern California in the
twenty two, twenty six Super Bowl, and he's not sending
out comments on social media about IM being disrespected or
this that or the other thing.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Then okay, we got some now page two. So this story.
I avoided this story.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
A couple of our friends in Ohio, in the greater
Cleveland area, we're upset, and they said, what didn't you
talk about this? You always take shots at the Cleveland Browns.
Why didn't you do this story? What's wrong with did
you not see it? You took a couple of days
off and you didn't see it?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Didn't you?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I saw it, moron. I just thought it was no
big deal. But I will do the story now because
there's more to the story. So it's not about Brown's
rookie quarterback, Schadur Sanders, the netbo kid from Dion Sanders
family tree, Jadeur Sanders, twenty three years old and ticketed

(07:54):
for speeding. Now, we knew about the one the other day,
but now we've learned the rest of the story. As
the Great Paul Harvey would say back in his day,
speeding twice just this month around Ohio. There was also
a speeding violation in Colorado. Sanders was accused of driving
his Dodge TRX pickup one hundred and one miles per

(08:17):
hour on a suburban Cleveland interstate That happened a few
days ago, and Sanders apparently could pay a fine of
two hundred and fifty dollars. And it's a misdemeanor. It's
a fourth degree. Mister, mean, I've gotten speeding tickets? Has
anyone done a monologue about that?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I got one in Minnesota my way to the mal
of Meagre. Anyway, the reason I bring you ended up
now as reference. This is not the first time. This
is not the first time that yourder Sanders has stepped
in it with the Ohio State Patrol. You see back
on June fifth in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, Sanders was pulled

(08:53):
over in a sixty five mile an hour zone going
ninety one, so he's got a lead foot. The thing
that's interesting is he failed to appear for an arrangement
for that ticket, and I guess that was on Monday.
And he always like two hundred and seventy dollars on
that one in court costs, which is just a tax

(09:15):
for the court to make more money, according to the
Madona Municipal Court records and art. So this led to
our colleague Colin Cowhard essentially saying, because Shudur Sanders drives fast,
he's done with him as the play. That's what he implied. Now,
I was sleeping while Cowhard's on, but I did see

(09:36):
the quotes going around. So let's address the Komodo dragon
in the room. Brown's quarterback, Shaudur Sanders picking up not one,
but two speeding tickets in twelve days. How significant is this?
So it is a story as all as time. I
am not as worked up into a lad as Colin Coward.

(09:56):
If that makes for bad radio, I apologize in advance.
But it is as story as old as time. Young guy, fastcar,
and that's the recipe for trouble with a capital t
room room, room room. Now snurse anders again, twenty three
year old guy. He's living the Universal life, Universal pictures, Life,

(10:20):
Fast and the Furious nine, channeling his Interven Diesel.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I caught speeding not once, but twice in twelve days.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
And this is always my thing. I've gotten a few
speeding tickets over the years.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't know if you're like me, but in my life,
when I've gotten a speeding ticket, for the next like
two months, I go below the speed limit. I go
below the speed limit for like two months because I'm
so paranoid. I once got pulled over. I was leaving
a Bills game years ago, and I was I went
to the Bills game with the great Steve Stillwell, who's

(10:51):
now a professor. He used to work at Fox Sports Radio,
and my younger brother Mike. So we were at a Bill's
game and they're playing the ten See Titans.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
So I'm leaving the.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Stadium there and got pulled over on the New York Expressway.
I forget how fast I was going, but I was
trying to get out of Buffalo, and so I got
pulled over, and then so I then got back on
the road. I took the guy said, well, I can't
print the ticket, but we're gonna send it to you.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And you're out of state, so whatever.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
So I got back on the road, and about ten
minutes later, I look behind me and I see cherry tops.
I'm getting pulled over again, and I looked, I'm going
to speed limit. I was like screaming at my brother.
I said, what is this cop doing. I'm going the
damn speed limit. I've made sure not that. So the
guy pulls me over in the same exact cop He
must have gone ninety miles an hour to catch me

(11:43):
down the expressway and he pulls me over. He's all excited, Well,
good news, I was able to print up the ticket. Yeah, great,
thank you. So technically I got pulled over twice in
the span of about half an hour.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Probably lessened to that. Probably lessen to that anyway, As
back to the point here, So shitur Sanders, does he
have entitlement?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Of course, all these guys who are entitled, these star
players and all that. But I'm gonna save my faux
outrage for things that you really need to get worked
up into a lather over and not not this now.
If he'd been driving drunk and that would have been
a different story, I can't put up with that. But
if you're just speeding and you're not intoxicated and all that,

(12:27):
I don't get get worked up because I think pretty
much everyone does that. Now I've been pretty lucky. I'll
probably get a ticket later today. But I did get
a message from a cop one time that said that
it's not everyone speeds.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
At least in LA everyone speeds.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And the cop told me said, listen, I mean, it's
essentially said fish in a barrel. So as long as
you're like seventy nine and under, I'm not gonna waste
my time because there's people that are going eighty five
ninety ninety five. Those are the people I'm gonna give
tickets to, because that's a bigger ticket.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
So he gave me the whole rap.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And since then, the only place I've gotten a ticket
is in Minnesota. And I've been to a bunch of
other states, have been all over the place since then,
but the only place I got a ticket was Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
And it was like a nineteen year old cop gave
me a ticket. Hey.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Final point to Cannsa City, the home of the Ben
Mallard chicken Fingers at the Landing in Liberty, Missouri, the
holy land of the chicken Fingers, where many great p
ones have gone and watched sports and enjoyed lots of
alcohol and chicken fingers and lived the life of Riley.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
So Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Andy Reid big Red said that despite some reports of
a diminished role, Andy Reid fully expects Travis Kelsey's snapcount
with the Chiefs to be quote similar to what it
was last year. But Andy Reid said he will monitor
Kelsey's playing time as training camp, as training camp goes

(13:57):
forward and the season progresses, and changed the plan if necessary.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Close quote so Andy Reid.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Saying the Chiefs plan to use Travis kelcey early and often,
early and often in twenty twenty five. Is that alright
with you? So I'll go for thousand percent. Now, keep
in mind, coaches will lie to your face. And Andy
Reid's been a coach pretty much my entire adult life,

(14:25):
so he knows the game. He's not if they're planning
on downsizing Kelsey, He's not going to tell you that.
But last season, Kelsey was on the field for the
third highest snap count. He ran the fourth most roots
or routes of his career last year, and you gotta
think because of his status, the Chiefs cannot cannot not

(14:51):
play Kelsey a large amount. Right, He's hanging out with
the most famous woman in America, if not the world,
in Taylor Swift, So it's kind of a big deal.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
And I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Is not looking to date a scrub or a guy
who's out there as a decoy. So you've got that,
and the mantra should be you keep going until the
wheels on the greyhound bus come off, till the wheels
on the greyhound bus.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Come off, and then that's it.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
And in last year Kelsey, certainly in the Super Bowl,
Travis Kelsey was a doctor.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
He was doctor Doolittle and ultimately he will be judged.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Much like we talked about minutes ago Lamar Jackson and
what happens at the end. And the Chiefs are also
at that level where they are expected to win the
final game. And if not, and if you end up
sucking at the very end and you stumble and fall
down before you cross the finish line, that is how

(15:52):
people will remember You's not really that hard. We're not
talking about open heart surgery. We're just talking about sports,
and that's it. If you would like to be part
good news or bad news, depending how you look at it.
After about a week, it is no longer all quiet
on the Western front.

whole plate into the netty WHERE i got to sit
the other day With Marlins. Man, now no punches were, thrown,
However dodger Manager Dave roberts was it a belly bump
was it a little? Shove there was physical contact Between

(24:48):
Dave roberts And Mike, shilt The potre. Manager they were
both kicked out of the. Game they were both. Ejected
and then and then in the n bottom of Night
didny The padres in a clear act of, Retaliation Robert
suarez plunked the face Of Baseball The Great, Show Hey

(25:10):
otani with a pitch right in the.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Back. Doink just like, that he got ejected as.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well now To tease And otani were each hit by
pitches twice in this. Series The dodgers pitching To tease
inside and they hit him a. Bunch and even when
they didn't hit, him there were pitches that were. Close
and this is gonna be the story that everyone's yapping.
About AND i saw some Of Mike shilt's post GAME

(25:38):
i did not see What Dave ROBERTS i had to,
Say but The padre manager was pretending like he wasn't
paying attention when The padre pitcher Hit, o'tani claiming that.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
He was eating.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Nachos, now he does look like a guy that enjoys.
Nachos but do you think That Mike shilt was actually eating?
Nachos and not watching the, game or is it possible
he was eating nach and watching the.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Game i'm just. Saying i'm just, saying so this is
something to file.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
AWAY i actually liked it from The dodger perspective because The,
dodgers even though they have this great, Record i'm not
sensing that this team is taking all of this very,
seriously like they think they just can pace. Themselves they
did this last. Year they didn't have a wonderfully glorious

(26:26):
record like some Previous dodger teams in this, run and
they just think they can turn it. On when we
get to pass The All star break in sometime in Late,
august they'll just flip the switch and.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Then they'll lock.

Speaker 2 (26:35):

i call it like THE nba fake tough guy move

the correct answer is none other than a man that

Speaker 1 (36:28):
With aura before people use that. Word just a cool.
Guy and you KNOW i was a young lad.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
When this guy was hitting. Dingers Dave, Henderson Dave henderson
is the. Answer he did it versus The brew crew
for The athletics in nineteen eighty, nine a year The
a's would go on to win The World series in
A World series that was played between The a's and The,
giants and there was The Bay Bridge. Series there was
a big earthquake before one of the games At Candlestick.

(36:56):
Park But Dave henderson who Broke gene's heart The Singing,
cowboy the owner of The, angels with a backbreaking home
run for The Boston Red sox In anaheim in The
American League Championship, series And anderson died a number of years.
Ago rather young guy passing With Dave henderson is the,
answer and that leads us into.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Here we go here it's. Smeller how about?

Speaker 4 (37:19):
That to the third, degree this is one big event
gets grilled Cool Alloof.

Speaker 9 (37:28):
Justino Former raiders wide Receiver Henry ruggs spoke at A
hope For prisoner's event where he revealed that he would
quote love to try and play in THE nfl. Again
he's eligible for parole next. Year, ben do you think
he could make it back to the.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
League, so first of, ALL i hope he doesn't make it.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
BACK i said he wouldn't ever play.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Again we did a monologue about this when he went to,
jail AND i, SAID i don't uh.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
NOW i realize, though that.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
THE nfl is a bloodthirsty, league and the mantra across.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
The league is to never give up on. Talent you
never give up on.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Talent if there was ever a case of giving up on,
talent this would be.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
It i'm not.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Saying that he can't get out of jail and go
out and get a job somewhere and live a life and.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
ALL i just think THE, nfl, like what are you
doing with?

Speaker 2 (38:17):
That BUT i am reminded of a guy that has
worked at our place and for THE nfl.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Draft we've had him in.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Here a couple of, times the FORMER gm of The,
cardinals and he talked about if THE. Nfl he was
talking about THE Nfl draft and he said, like, hey you,
know if this guy was really really, fast like If Hannibal,
LECTOR i think he used the player said that If
Hannibal lecter was up for THE Nfl draft and he

(38:50):
ran a four point three or something like, that we
probably diagnosed it as an eating. Disorder so they will
try to Rationalize Henry. RUGGS i hope he doesn't play
a game in THE. Nfl we both get a regular job.
Somewhere if you blew your chance in THE, nfl you
killed the woman she burned up a live with a.
Dog that seems like a good reason not to allow
you back in THE.

Speaker 9 (39:07):
Nfl, Next Sean payton was asked about the thought that
The broncos didn't do enough in the offseason to help Bow.
Knicks peyton said that having an elite defense is the
best way to Help nicks win.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Games then is he?

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Right, well, NO i, mean the best way to have
him win games is that two All pro wide receivers
and a great tight end and a stud running back
in three offensive. Line but, no the big issue for
Bo nicks is just getting, better proving that last year
was not a mirage next.

Speaker 9 (39:35):
It's likely that The Elanta braves will be looking for
a new manager next season Or reasoner report predicts they
will Hire David. Ross then you think this would be
a bad hire By. Atlanta it's a blaw.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Higher But David ross kind of like your Guy Ron
washington with The. Angels people in baseball Loved David. Ross
they can't say enough good.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Things he's. Beloved that's how you get those. Jobs how
did we Do he passed. Deosision that is a. Win
