Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our nuber two. As we go
with the flow and our number two and the little
fella can be yours if the price is right. Kyler
Murray was fired by Arizona. He says he failed the cardinals.
Is this valid or invalid? Also? What is the forecast

(00:21):
for Kyler now that he has been excommunicated from the
Valley of the Sun by his request? And which direction
we're going to Seattle? Which direction is Seahawks running back?
Kenneth Walker headed as he heads to the auctioning block,
the Seahawks not going to give him the tag. The

(00:41):
tag deadline has now passed. We'll talk about that as well.
Settle in here. It's our two on this Wednesday, March fourth,
hour two of the podcast. We're gonna try not to
shed any any alligator tears, not crocodile tears, alligator tears.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

(01:05):
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere, preaching to
the choir as we are audio street urchins coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and gigantically
powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live from the highway Highway

(01:29):
to Hell from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
where Van the one Legged Bama Man reminds us that
this hour made possible in part by our friends at
ti Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping
customers like Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, Eddie and Charlotte find

(01:49):

we go to Arizona. Now, back in the day, while
I was doing some work here at Fox Sports Radio,
for a number of years, I ran a gossip sports

(02:35):
gossip website. That was my that was my thing. I
was whatsing around with that did that for a number
of years, had some success with that, got some some
critical acclaim whatever that's worth obviously nothing because I'm not
doing it anymore, although I can't buy my website back
for like ten thousand dollars or whatever it is. But anyway, yeah,

(02:55):
it's ridiculous. But back in the day when I when
I did that job, we had a mantra in the
newsroom that when I was putting that together, aggregating a
rumor is just a fact that has yet to be discovered,
and today's rumors are tomorrow's news. Well that's been proven correct.
Again if you have not heard by now a story
that we talked about as a rumor over the last

(03:16):
couple of weeks has turned out to be reality. The
Cardinals have said bye bye, and they have informed Kyler
Murray that he will be fired, that he's done, he's out,
and he is going to be able to go to
another NFL team when the new league year begins a
week from today. His reign of terror in the desert

(03:37):
will come to an end and they will drive him
to Sky Harbor Airport there in the Valley of the
Sun and say get out of here now. Murray posted
a sappy good bye note to the fans in the
Valley of the Sun. There on social media, it was
ninety nine words, the ninety nine ninety nine words, and

(03:59):
now some fans ran to defend Kyler Murray, upset that
he used one word in particular. Now there were three paragraphs,
but ninety nine worth three paragraphs, and there was one
word in particular that upset people. He used the word failed,
and that was the money. Quote he said, I wanted
nothing more than to be the one to end the

(04:20):
seventy seven year drought for this organization. I am sorry,
he said, I failed us close quote. So that is
a good jumping off point, and let's discuss the question.
Kyler Murray says that he quote failed the Arizona Cardinals
and a number of jocksniffers running to defend Kyler Murray.

(04:46):
Is that valid or invalid that he used the word failed?
Kyler Murray, So I've got pyromaniac, memory, foam, and KFC
and we will combine all all of these things together
and we are going to play Connect three is what
we're going to play. So number one, number one. So

(05:10):
we ran this through the very technical, very technical malor
Lie detector, the Mallard Lie detector, and we determined there
were no lies detected, No lies detected, none, zippo, zippo.
The guy Kyler Murray was the number one overall number

(05:33):
of the twenty nineteen collegiate draft. Now, when you are
the top pick, is it fair or unfair to expect
that you're getting the team that's drafting the players getting
a quarterback who's a Hollywood star? Is that fair or unfair?
I believe it's fair. I believe it's fair. And I'm
the one with microphone, so I'm gonna go first. You
can call in later if you want. I believe that's fair. Now,

(05:55):
did the Cardinals get a Hollywood level quarterback? No, under
any measurement, they did not get a Hollywood level quarterback.
What they got was a Ballywood quarterback. That's what he
not Hollywood bally would, all right for Bally Would. That's
what they got. Kyler Murray saying that he failed, that's

(06:16):
even an understatement. Right, It's like a pyromaniac arsonist showing
up to the fire and going, boy, somebody really burned
this place down. I wonder what that was all about. Yeah,
franchise quarterbacks supposed to elevate everyone, and he didn't do it,

(06:37):
and to be fair, he needed a booster seat, so
we knew going in it was not gonna be easier
for Kyler Murray finishes ten games under five hundred, ten
games under five hundred, not exactly a franchise savior. And
he wasn't even a five hundred quarterback and get the
playoff resume. And if you had been drafted, whoever you

(06:58):
might be, if you had been drafted with the top
pick of the twenty nineteen NFL draft, you would have
the same number today as Kyler Murray of playoff wins.
He didn't win a single playoff game. Squad douche in
terms of playoff wins none and he and I want

(07:19):
to kill him, and I am going to be Benny
Bright's side. He said, well, you can't be Benny Bright,
so you've been ripping Kyler Murray does I was right, honestly,
And I'm sure the Arizona Republic will write a trac
shit and apology to me. And do they still even
have that newspaper? I don't know. I feel like all
newspapers are out of business at this point, but if
they're still around, they they said, you know what, that
guy Maller was right, maybe we should pay more attention
to that overnight guy on Fox. He called this in

(07:40):
twenty nineteen, seven years ago. He called this anyway, I
knew right away and the moment I knew, well, first
of all, looking at Kyler Murray looks like a glitch
in a video game. Not a good one, not a
good one. But I think it was actually on Fox
Sports Radio. I think it was before the draft, Kyler
Murray was interviewed. I think it was on the Dan
Patrick Show, and he was waiting for his dad to

(08:04):
answer question. He didn't know what to say, and his
dad was like there and his parent was along and
answering the question. I said, oh my god, this is terrible.
And that was a sign of coming attractions, is what
it was. So no playoff wins, he did lead the
league in one category, So I will pump the tires
on Kyler. Congratulations. Seven years as an NFL starting quarterback
for the Arizona Cardinals, and he led the NFL in

(08:26):
sacks taken. So condract, you know, impress it. Not everyone
can leave the NFL and sacks taken, but there you go,
that and that and I don't know that we'll see
another quarterback that has a more impressive signature moment playing
quarterback in the NFL than Kyler Murray who famously and

(08:46):
it's one of the all time great moments in my
career and doing this a long time. The study clause,
the homework clause in Kyler Murray's contract, where he literally
literally had to have it in writing the team had
they felt it was so impart he was such such
a loser and he was so lazy that they had
to put it in the contract where he was contractually

(09:08):
obligated to do his job and to watch tape and
study for the opponent and all that stuff. And some
of Europe said, well, you know, these people say, oh,
you didn't fail. He did fail, that's obvious. But the
good news is for Kyler is that while he flopped
playing football in Arizona with the joystick, he was one

(09:28):
of the great gamers in the state of Arizona, top
ten gamer when it comes to Call of Dude. He
first ballot Hall of Famer Video Game Hall of Fame. Now,
I know they give you a gold jacket when you
go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What do
you get when you go to the Gamer Hall of Fame?
Is it a golden joystick? Is there something like a cartridge?

(09:48):
Is there? I don't know what it is? All right
now payt you so keeping the drum beat, going and
going and going and going. So what is the forecast?
You pull out the Doppler two thousand radar? What is
the forecast for Kyler Murray? Who has now been excommunicated
from the Cardinals. So what's next on the forecast? So

(10:11):
the forecast, if you look right now, the forecast is
the he's getting the day spa send off. It's a
nice SPA day for Kyler. Go to the Spa, have
a good time. Imagine if you will, a world where
you are fired from your job, You're tossed overboard and

(10:32):
you land in a velvet lifeboat. That's Kyler Murray. Remember,
sports is not reality like the reality is. And what
I mean by that, it's a different cartoon issues, it's
a different world. Normally, when somebody loses their job, you're like,
oh man, I'm bummed out. That sucks for that guy.
He's gonna have to go on unemployment, He's gonna have
to find another job. What are you gonna do? You

(10:54):
gotta go to the Express Employment website and all that,
and so that's normal. But in sports, the Cardinals will
be paying the little munchkin thirty six point seven million
to not play quarterback. Do you understand how much of
a absolute loser, a jackwagon one has to be for

(11:22):
a team to give you that kind of severance package
that you're so useless, Kyler Murray, that the Cardinals would
rather pay almost thirty seven million to not have you.
That you're that much of a bad influence in the
locker room and you're that you're that's pathetic on the field,

(11:42):
it's wild. That is a severance package wrapped in a
memory foam mattress is what that is. And the Cardinals
didn't just throw him off the ship. They tossed him overboard.
They gave him a charcuterie board in that boat, and
they gave him a spa, you know, the rope from

(12:03):
the spa and just everything. I mean, this gave him everything.
And the crazy part is that now he wasn't good
and we documented that, and now there are teams that
are like, wow, this is great. I saw some NFL
pundits that Kyler Murray is clearly the top quarterback available. Really,

(12:23):
what is the measurement on that? How are you measuring
that Kyler Murray, who doesn't even like football, is not
good at football, is the top guy available clearly? Really,
what kind of fentanyl are you on, sir? If you
think that? Seriously? Like, what are we doing? But there
you go, Well Kyler Murray and there's always out is

(12:45):
one man's trash is another man's fantasy reclamation project. But
to say that he's clearly better than the other quarterbacks,
I don't buy that. I don't know how anyone with
an IQ above twenty could buy that. The Vikings again,
every quarterback is being connected with the Vikings. Daniel Jones, Kyler,
they should have like seven quarterbacks on the field. Yeah,

(13:06):
that's it. Just go with four. No, no, you have
three offensive linemen. You're gonna have seven quarterbacks one wide receiver.
Now you might go with five quarterbacks and then four
offensive linemen. The rest would be be pass catchers. I mean,
you could do there's different ways you can do it.
But my god, so the Jets, now that would be perfect.

(13:27):
You imagined Kyler Murray with the Jets. The Raiders, they're
gonna have Fernando Mendoza supposedly if they keep the first
pick in the draft and they need a bridge quarterback.
Of course Kyler would be a very small bridge, but
that's fine. And the island of misfit quarterbacks right there,
and even this scares me a little bit. The Rams

(13:50):
have been mentioned, but only because the Rams hired Cliff
Kingsbury as a Sean McVay loyalist. So Cliff Kingsbury, there's
a connection. Remember's not what you know, it's who you know.
And so Cliff Kingsbury is with the Rams coaching staff
unless he gets a better job and then leaves. So
Cliff Kingsbury's hanging out there, and then Kyler Murray could

(14:11):
come in there be the backup for a year, and
it's you know, it's kind of yeh, listen, why not
go play for the minimum somewhere? Go to the Rams.
Have the Rams leak good stories about how great you're
looking practice and what a great locker room guy you are.
The typical bull crap that goes out in the media,
and yeah, play for the minimum and Arizona. Remember they're
picking up the tab like that rich uncle that's got

(14:34):
a lot of cash and likes to throw it around
to show everyone in the family how rich he is
and does he want to Does Kyler Murray actually want
to play for a bad team or is he willing
to go be a backup on the Rams, take a
sabbatical and make all that money and just play video
games and that's it all right? Meanwhile, final point to Seattle.

(14:55):
We go and you, sir, have just won the Super
Bowl MVP. What are you gonna do? Now? I'm gonna
go find a job somewhere else because this team doesn't
want me in a clear act of malfeasance. And I
know somewhere in the great Pacific Northwest JJ and Renton
is devastated, and no Stradinas is gonna cry like crime

(15:16):
Craig because Seattle, classless Seahawks, you just went out and
won the Super Bowl MVP. Get out of here. They
chose not not the place the Seahawks, the franchise tag
on Kenneth Walker. They will let him walk away from
the Pacific Northwest and so instead of getting a guaranteed
salary of fourteen million dollars for one year, he will

(15:39):
run off carrying his Pete Roselle Super Bowl MVP trophy
and say I just played better than anyone else on
my offense in the Super Bowl, and I'm now going
to explore the open market. There you go, all right?
So the question here which direction? Which direction is? Is

(16:00):
Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker headed as he heads to
the auctioning block after and he's auctioning his own services.
As we said, he's a free agent and next week
and go anywhere it wants. So it's nice to know
that the Seattle Seahawks value the Super Bowl MVP like
he is a spark from KFC. So he's not just

(16:25):
a fork or a spoon. He's a spark, so he's
a little more valuable than just a fork or a spoon.
It's a multi dimensional situation, but ultimately just a cheap
piece of takeout cutlery is what he is. And it's like, hey,
thanks for the memories. Don't let the door hit you
where the good Lord split you get out of here
and now you're someone else's problem. You're not our problem now. Financially,

(16:49):
this is not bad. Financially this is not bad. This
is a bonanza, is what it is. It's a seller's market,
sellers market. You look at the running backs, and running
backs have become more vogue in recent years, as Skwan
Barkley in Philadelphia was the man of the hour there
for the Eagles and their championship run, and then Kenneth
Walker the Super Bowl MVP. So the last couple of

(17:10):
years it has been an uptick in running backs. So
it is a seller's market has said there's a shortage
of goods available, so that's that's a positive. And Breece
Hall got tagged by the Jets, so he's off the market.
So Walker becomes the bell of the ball. Yeah, and
it's happy days are here again. Financially, happy days are

(17:34):
here again. It's an old show and watching on the
reruns on the on the streaming and all that, but
it's like Richie Cunningham out there getting paid, getting paid
big money. Now, listen, is Walker the greatest running back? No,
he's solid. He's a solid, not great. It's like and
he was splitting chores with Zach Charbonney in Seattle and

(17:56):
Charboney got hurt. So Seattle's gonna have to bring multiple
running back. They're gonna draft one and then likely sign
one as a free agent. And so we'll see how
this goes. But good luck to Kenneth Walker, who goes
to market. Now who's window shopping? Who's out there window shopping?
So you got the supposedly the Giants, I thought they
had some running backs. The Giants cansa city. You got

(18:21):
the Broncos have been mentioned as a possibility for Kenneth Walker.
So there's a few teams out there that are really
horny to get a running back. They're really horny to
get a running back upgrade. They see the explosive style
and all that. So Kenneth Walker, it's like the classic
scene from the old movies, ready to say, show me
the money, show me the money. Now. My unsolicited malor

(18:44):
advice to Kenneth Walker the Super Bowl MVP, all things
being equal, you take your talents, and you take your GPS,
and you set your GPS and your talents to Arrowhead
Stadium and you go there, set that GPS and do
not look back. Do not look back now see that on. Meanwhile,

(19:06):
they're going to try to find again some new plastic
forks and spoons and some knives and see what they
can find there. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

TESTA writes, and he says, just finished checking the calibrations
for the phone breathalyzer. Last hour's results are accurate. Well,

(22:39):
thank you. I knew it wasn't broken. Yeah, well, I
was gonna go back to Mitch, but but he hung up.
So he claimed he played in the NFL, And maybe
he did. I don't know. It could be a very
specific name that he gave us, and that is someone
that played in the NFL. So it's it is possible
that that is exactly what happened, and he's just up

(23:01):
having a great time enjoying himself. And the person that
he named did play high school football and in Powway
in San Diego, So it is possible that's all connected.
Who knows. By the way, the computer screener here has
gone to sleep mode, so it happens at least once

(23:22):
an hour. At least once an hour. Alf the alien
opine rte since says, rumor has it that you and
Looney are going into the workshop to tinker with Benny
versus the Penny. Now, Alf says, hear me, he's about
to make an elevator pitch. He says, hear me out.
Kyler needs a job, and you need a replacement for

(23:44):
the obsolete penny. How about Looney flips Kyler. You could
call it Benny versus the Alligator Arms. I liked that
you included a photoshopped image of Kyler Murray with Looney
holding him up. And it's also good that you used

(24:04):
a photo of Looney wearing a shirt with no arms,
which is something that he loves to do. Loves to
do it. No Stradinis writes in from the Pacific Northwest.
He says that Kenneth Walker, who has a history of injuries,
needs to take the most money he's offered, and good
for him. The Seahawks will be fine as long as

(24:25):
they continue to get help from the NFL officials, they'll
be okay, Well, you're right about that, No Stradenas, You're
right about that. The lack of loyalty by you is unbelievable.
The lack of loyalty. This guy won you a Super Bowl,
carried Sam Darnold's terrible performance to the win. And that's

(24:45):
how you treat That's how the Seahawks treat their star players.
It's bat job by you, Yapimi in Chicago writes in
he says some animosity I noticed towards the go to
cutlery packets. You don't have have a drawer with sauces
and sports malleor well I did for years when I

(25:08):
was a bachelor. I had all that. I had a
drawer for the sauce. I had a drawer for the
napkins I would take from fast food. Spy ketchup, you
just took it from the fast food places. Of course,
I had different sections of the drawer for if I
had my drawer for Wendy's sauce, if I wanted the
barbecue with the honey mustard, I had that. We have

(25:28):
Carls Junior out here in the West, so I had
Carls junior sauce. I had a lot of ketchup from McDonald's.
Would go to Del Taco a lot, got a lot
of that stuff. Taco Bell had a good rotation of
fast food restaurants. Now though, I saw the inflation on
fast food is like they're shameless, the people that serve

(25:50):
fast food, like they have no shame in their game.
It's insane. How expensive, Like you type into the inflation
calculator and there's a mill of them online. How much
like a cheeseburger should cost versus how much it does
cost in just a number of years. Like the people
that run the fast food restaurants just to say, you know,

(26:12):
we don't care. We do not care. For instance, I
saw this the other day. I think it was the
other day. It might have been a little while ago.
The mc chicken price increased. It was one dollar in
twenty eighteen to three dollars and ten cents last year.
That's a two hundred and ten percent increase. It's ridiculous.

(26:34):
Seven years, a two hundred and ten percent increase. The
mcdoubles price has gone from a dollar nineteen and twenty
fourteen last This story was from the end of twenty
twenty five, so it's a couple months ago, but it
was four fifty nine. That is a two hundred and
eighty five percent increase.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Now, the people at McDonald's they said, wow, the prices
you know, differ across the country and all that stuff. Okay, well,
good luck on that. And it's not just McDonald's, it's
all of them. I didn't notice. We mentioned this on
the Fifth Hour podcast to do the foody fun segment
usually on Fridays. We brought that back, and I have

(27:15):
noticed that if you go on the app, they'll give
you a better deal, but then they'll track you, so
you it's like a trade offs, like, well, do you
want to be tracked on everywhere you go for the
fast food restaurant but then you save like a dollar
on the cheeseburger or are you just like okay, I'll
just pay the full amount and all that. What else

(27:37):
do we have to see? Page down? Can't read that
on the air. See here your fheme's upset. The rundown
was a little late, bad job by you, Mallord. Well,
you know there's things going on here, a lot of
moving parts. Doc Dan from Minnesota rights this is my
problem with Kyler Murray getting fired, he's now number forty seven,

(28:00):
and the number of quarterbacks being rumored to head to
the Minnesota Vikings. Every day there's another one speculated to
replace JJ McCarthy and Doc Dances. At this point, I
just want someone, anyone, to be signed, so the story
stop appearing on my phone. There you go. The way
it works with the Vikings is they'll probably sign someone

(28:22):
who was a backup last season in the UFL. I
hope they at least go to the Canadian Football League.
I hope they would go to the Canadian Football That
would be better. Well let's go to the phones right now.
Big cosmic week, and who better to give you the
inside skinny than our friend Andrea who went out to
the hills of Oakland. She traveled out of her humble

(28:44):
abode to look at the heavens and she's now back
as an eyewitness. I saw it too, I went out,
I saw it was clear where I am. I was
able to see the cosmic event last night. And hello
to you, Andrea the astrology insider. Welcome.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yes, I was thinking of you and the mal Or militia.
And you know what was interesting, it was, you know
a mix of uh, the full moon, lunar eclipse in
Virgo and mercury retrograde. Because what ended up happening then
to report back to you is that we were too
high up in the Oakland Hills and the fog rolled in.

(29:21):
Oh no, yes, no, you'll appreciate this being you know.
And yeah, they put us in another room and they
showed us a live stream from the Griffith Observatory.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Oh sure, yeah, right over downtown l A.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah, yeah, and we got to see the eclipse that way.
So it's like plan be Moon and you know, Moon
and Virgo got to think on your feet, so they
adjusted that. They put us in a room. There was
some nice hot chocolate and whipped cream.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
And that doesn't sound too bad, but you didn't want
to see it with your own, you know, your bare eyes. Now.
F At about the Griffith Observatory. It's first in Griffith Park,
and right down the road is there's a tunnel that
they have used in a bunch of movies. There was
this whole movie called Roger Rabbit. They used it there

(30:12):
a bunch of other movies. And then there's also the
original bat Cave from The Batman Show is in Griffith
Park buried somewhere out in the woods there. So there's
a bunch of stuff around there that they've used for
interesting random fun fact.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
I didn't know that that was such interesting fun facts.
So yeah, it was kind of planned. B It was
my first time up at the Chibo's Space Center and
it was really nice, and they have telescope viewings and
you know, all plan to come back during the day.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Well tell them next time there's a cosmic event like
this to just get like a helicopter or a balloon
and you can go above the fog.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Oh really, so where did you get to see it?
It sounds like you got a good view.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah. I was concerned because when I left it was
it was kind of a little out even it wasn't
too cloudy. And then where I got out of the car,
there I saw in the north woods. I looked up
and I saw it. I was like, oh, that's pretty cool.
I took a photo, but there was like, didn't come
out that good. So I didn't bother with it because
it was a photos photos never do. Yeah, it did

(31:16):
not come out very good. Is that because there's a
theory here now when people take photos of UFOs. They
never come out very good and Bigfoot, Bigfoot no photos?
Could it be that these things have an aura around
them and that were not allowed to actually like take

(31:36):
photos of them whatever device we're using, they messed with
the device.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
So yeah, I mean, energy is real. So if they're
not wanting something to happen, they can put out some
energy for that. And you throw in mercury, retrograde Hiretuoles
technology and communications, so I could have something to do.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
With all right, Now, hold on, Andrea, don't hang up.
Hold on a sec here, I mean at this phone call. Here,
let me screen this call. Scott, you want you wanted
to say something to Andrew? Is that? Are you going
to be nice? Are you gonna be a douche?

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Well fraud?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Okay, well there you go we Scott?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are you off your meds this week? Scott? What's going
on with you? Do I need to call your pharmacist
or your doctor or something like that? President run all right,
calm down, Oh my god, all right, sorry about that, Andrew.
I continue with your call. I apologize there.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Oh yes, no, that's okay. It takes all costs.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
He got you know, he's got some issues. This week.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, no, you hold space for a lot of people
and a lot of different circumstances. But it was really
nice to see. I've heard of Quiffin, it's observatory and
I've seen, you know, on YouTube, different events that they've had.
But it was kind of cozy that they put us
in there. And you know, we kept going out and seeing, oh,
do you know the fog lift and as.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I know, all right, well, as you know you've lived
there a long time, you know that one of the
staples of living in where you lose the fog. There's
always a ton of fog.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
So right, but know, spiritual experience and nice to be
with other spiritual seekers and to learn about, you know,
the space center and to you know, it was full
moon in Virgo, so plan B. If we couldn't see it,
then let's get a video of it in a live stream.
Going yeah, so I admire that about the space Space Center.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Nice. Well, thank you very much, Andrew, appreciate it. Take
care of a great night. There, she goes, Andrew, thank
you man. All right, Virgo in service on x You
can check her out on social media. Eileen says the
FSR computers are buffering. There is a lot of buffering.
And it's not just you. I've worked here a long time.

(33:46):
I've worked at other radio stations. I've done shows remotely
from other radio stations. I've yet to be at a
radio station that has good computers. Like, why do they
all have bad computers? I don't understand. I do not understand.
You have a better computer at home. And I know
it's a communal thing. These computers are used by a
lot of people. I get it. It seems very odd,

(34:09):
very odd to me. Not one place I've been has
had good computers, Not one office i've been to. None.
All Right, So the twenty seven and done someone named
Drew Dolman. You have no idea who that is, because
you're not a total loser. But this guy, Drew Dolman,

(34:30):
who the hell is that? Well, he was a NFL player,
was an NFL lineman, and he has decided that he's
done with the NFL. He's I don't know if you
can use the word retiring when you're twenty seven years old.
He spent four years with the Atlanta Falcons. Last year

(34:50):
was in Chicago with the Bears. He has two years,
twenty four million remaining on his contract, including nine and
a half million. I'm fully guaranteed. So he's walking away
from nine and a half million dollars at age twenty seven,
and that's it. Says he's he's done, he's had enough.

(35:12):
He was a Stanford guy in twenty twenty one college
and then that's that's it. So there is this is
not that new. It's we've seen a few of these guys.
Doesn't happen that often because the money's so great, but
the play for a few years, make your money, and

(35:33):
that's it. You're done, You get out of here, and
you figure, you do the math on this. This guy
went to Stanford, so you figure he's not a complete
country bumpkin, and he knows, he knows what he's got.
So in his career in the NFL, this guy made
twenty five million dollars. So at age twenty seven, with
twenty five million, you should be able to live a

(35:57):
pretty good life, live a pretty good life and not
have to work. That's it. We have mallardly third degree.
That is straight ahead. We'll get to that NFL stadium story.
We'll get to that a little bit later. We'll push
that back for timing reasons. Time now for the Insta Trivia.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
A report over the weekend suggested that Kirk Cousins could
be selective about his next destination that he could even
quote wait through the offseason for some team situation to
change in his favor. Ben, could you see the season
starting with Kirk Cousins unsigned.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
No, I think he'll sign. He might sign with CBS,
but he'll sign. He'll sign with somebody if the TV
hires him. I think he'll go there. But there's enough
starting jobs open. There's not enough quarterbacks. There'll be a
job if he wants to get a job in Pittsburgh.
If Rogers doesn't go there, Miami, Minnesota yet again, Arizona,
they bunch you up next.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
Trey Lunging hasn't played a minute for the Washington Wizards,
but he's already been kicked out of a game. After
being ejected from the bench on Monday. Fans in DC
were loving it, going to social media to proclaim Young
a legend. Yes, Ben, do you think Young is going
to bring the Wizards back from irrelevance?

Speaker 1 (39:09):
The Wizards last one fifty games. I believe before, I'm
a lot, before I was a live coop. I've been along.
I've been around a long time. No, not gonna have
Anthony Davis the guy's always hurting next uh.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
With March Madness soon approaching, talks of an NCAA tournament
expansion have revved up again. However, coach k said, that's
a big mistake. You don't mess with something that is gold.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Is he right?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, it's risky, but if TV is willing to pay
for it, whatever TV wants, they're gonna do. They've proven
that in college basketball. How do we how do we do? Coop?
You passed Saturday? Went put it on the Bart, the
Chicken Dinna
