Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our non bird two hour two
of our radio program, The Surprising College Hoops Maller Monologue.
We go where the news of the day Texas, and
that would be Syracuse, New York, where Jim Beyheim is out.
Did Beheim get a raw deal from the Ques? What

(00:21):
are your takeaways from Jim Beheim's run ending at Syracuse
and looking into the crystal ball? What happens the Syracuse
basketball sands, Jim Beyheim, who's been there since the nineteen seventies,
We'll talk about that and more. Right now, give it
up for our number two. Here it is Seeing Orange.

(00:45):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere, beside one
another as we whistle in the dark, coast to coast,
order to order, and beyond on the bast and resoundingly
powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the mole

(01:12):
as we play an audio game of Whack a Mole
All night long. We are broadcasting live from the ti
iraq dot Com studios ti iraq dot Com. We'll help
you get there in unmatched election bast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. So

(01:34):
I'll get to our lead this hour, but I wanted
to update the story we talked about last hour involving
Sean Kemp. As we told you, the TV report out
of Seattle Fox thirteen claims Kemp acted in self defense
and it's the story's taken another plot twist. Now he
was arrested on a felony drive by shooting charge. Well,
TMZ has posted video they did this just shortly before

(01:59):
we came on the air, and some listeners have pointed
this out to us. We were unaware of this. But
the footage which was obtained by TMZ, I don't know
how much they paid for it, but it shows Sean
Kemp wearing a red vest, the NBA legend from the nineties,
and he was wearing a red vest and he was
on foot though he was not in his car, and

(02:21):
he pointed appeared to be a gun there and he
was yelling and according to the video, and pulled the
trigger at least once outside this mall. It was in
the parking lot at the mall into Coma, and TMZ
says the witnesses told them that they heard multiple gunshots,

(02:43):
which would back up the claim unless it was Kemp
firing all the shots. That it indeed was somebody shot him.
He shot back yin for the yang and all that.
I don't understand how the drive by shooting charge applies there,
but anyway, the footage is out there. The people that
took the footage claim that there were shots fired, multiple

(03:03):
shots fired before they started pulling out their phones to
capture the moment for posterity's sake. More on that, I'm
sure as we go through the night and on the
day on Thursday. But our lead this hour coming from
college basketball. That's right, the rare and appropriate, rare and
appropriate college basketball malar monologue. As we normally don't go

(03:26):
down this road before Selection Sunday, which is this weekend,
but that is that's the day all of us gas
bags and blowhards immediately pretend to care and become experts
on college basketball. We assume you have heard the big
college basketball lead, but maybe not. Jim Beeheim gone. He

(03:48):
has been removed as the head coach at Syracuse, the
big bad Syracuse basketball program not so not so big
much these days and pretty bad, but his Rain, which
lasted forty seven years. Forty seven years is over. In
an unceremonious announcement on Wednesday evening, the university announcing that

(04:12):
the associate head coach, Adrian Autry, who played at the school,
he's gonna take over as the head coach for the
Orange and Beheim is out. He is gone, he vacates
the job. Syracuse lost to Wake Forest. If you are
into the ACC tournament, you probably already knew that. But
Syracuse losing that game on a last second buzzer beater

(04:34):
three point shot there at the end. That turns out
to be the final act in the Hall of Fame
career of Jim Beheim as the Syracuse coach. So let
us discuss the question people reacting in real time did
Jim Beheim? The question is did Jim Beheim get a
raw deal from Syracuse? And in the context of the

(04:56):
modern era, the arrow is pointing that direction. And I'll explain,
I've got Jackfruit, Burgundy, and ghost Ship, and we will
connect all of these things together and we are going
to make a giant oversized Orange is what we're gonna make. So,
first of all, when I say that the arrow is

(05:19):
pointing towards raw deal. I'm not talking about a travesty
of justice for Jim Beheim. What I'm talking about is
a bumpy, awkward, disheveled ending because every man, woman and
child knows this was not Jim Beheim's decision. All right,
what's my evidence? His own words. Beheim had said just

(05:41):
before the school announced that he was out, that it
was up to the university. We all saw the nature
of the departure. This was not well planned out, more
of a fly by night situation, typically in the modern era.
And it bothers me when this stuff happens. What happens

(06:02):
all the time when a legend retires, what takes place?
These things are choreograph you have a victory lab. I
find these things nauseating. The look at me, kiss my
ass toror for reference, I might put you point you
out to look at coach k at Duke his last
year at Duke went around everyone says, oh, we love you,

(06:24):
we love you. There was none of that here at
Syracuse with Jim be Hunt. Instead, it was a hurry
up and changed the gate code situation. I guess they
were worried that Beheim was going to take some office
supplies on his way out. But why is that. We
can surmise that part of it is because of Jim

(06:44):
Beheim's persona, his personality. He's like the jack fruit of coaches,
right prickly on the outside. Rick Patino, who's been everywhere,
literally everywhere in his coaching career. But Patinos m up
Beheim's rum years ago. There's a famous quote which he
said something to the effect that Jim Beheim's got one

(07:07):
of those personalities where he lights up a room when
he leaves, which is a wonderful deadpan line which has
been used by many. But that was said by Patino
about Beehim. And we know that the coaches in the
acc loved to goof on Beheim. They didn't really hide it.
The smart money says, here's what's gonna happen. Jim Beheim
will end up taking care of one of his media buddies,

(07:30):
one of his old school media buddies, with a little
bit of scoopage on the on side, a little side dish.
In the next couple of weeks at one of those
you know that what had happened was this, What had
happened was this? This is the real story from the
horse's mouth, Jim Beheim, I'd keep an eye on John Feinstein,

(07:52):
the longtime college basketball writers. Well, I don't know, maybe
not maybe not him, maybe somebody else, but somebody like
that to get the inside skinny. And Beheim such a
powerful figure at Syracuse that he hit and killed the
guy with his car and lived. The coach. Another couple
of years back in twenty nineteen, Beheim was driving down

(08:14):
I six ninety in Syracuse and he has struck a
fifty one year old guy right around midnight, and we
talked about the story at the time was wild. The
news came out while we were doing the show, like
we were like, whoa wait a minute, It's like that
made no sense, one of those jaw dropping stories. But
this guy had gotten in an accident. The fifty one

(08:34):
year old guy. He got out of his car to
check to see what was going on, and Beheim was
cruising down the road and ran him over, plowed him over,
and he survived. The coach and continued to coach. Now
by him. As far as the basketball stuff, He's dodged
multiple scandals. He has lost over one hundred wins from

(08:56):
different postseason There were postseason bands games that were avoided
by the big bad NCAA, and he often got himself
in trouble because he's not politically correct, and he would
say the thing you're not supposed to say at the time,
you're not supposed to say it now. Second, what are
your overall takeaways from Jim Beyheim's run ending at Syracuse?

(09:19):
So Beheim, whether you like him or not. And I
didn't go to Syracuse like most of these hacks in
the media business. I didn't go there. But Beayheim has
been a pillar of college hoops. It's wild to me
to think how the world has changed since Beheim took
over in nineteen seventy six at Syracuse. He started out
in a world where newspapers and local TV dominated the

(09:43):
media landscape, and he exit stage left with big tech
social media having a choke hold on everything. And that
is an example of when fiction becomes reality. Right the
life of Jim Bayhem. He's like coll Edge Basketball's Ron Burgundy.
He's got his own unique, folksy gruff style that is

(10:07):
not for everybody. And he's lasted almost two full generations.
A generation's twenty five years, he's at almost two full generations.
Could I could totally see him like Ron Burgny saying,
I love Scotch, Scotchy, Scotch Scotch light. He goes down
down into my belly and all that. And I'll bet

(10:29):
you that at Jim Beheim's house he's got the smell
of rich mahogany in his and a bunch of leather
bound books and all that. But Beheim's departure is a
seminal mall. Much like Ron Burgundy, Beheim was the last
of the old school coaches from the heyday of the
men's college basketball world. And I know there's a few

(10:50):
old time coaches left, like Tom Izzo and John Calipari,
but they pale in comparison to Jim Beheim. You gotta
think if you weren't around, Big Monday was like a
big f in deal Big East college basketball, a lynchpin
of the glory days when the sport mattered, it mattered.
His retirement, Bayham's retirement, which likely was forced here, means

(11:13):
one of the last big whales in college basketball has
finally been harpooned. And you think of the players that
passed through Syracuse under Bayheim's watch, Dwayne Pearl Washington, Ronnie Psyche, Sherman, Douglas,
Derek Coleman, Billy Owens all the way up through Carmelo
Anthony and Jerry McNamara and go on and on. But

(11:33):
those are most of the big ones. Crazy run now,
final thought, looking into the crystal ball, what happens now
to Syracuse basketball? So we know that Adrian Autry has
been groomed for a decade to sit in the big chair,
and he's been hyped up as a coaching prodigy, a

(11:54):
more modern approach to exes and os. Thereby hangs a
very interesting tale. The deck is absolutely stacked against Autrey.
Jim Beheim has been the essence of Syracuse basketball. He
used orange and until proven otherwise, Syracuse men's college basketball

(12:17):
is going to be a ghost ship. Once great Syracuse
blue blood of college hoops about to become an empty
vessel in upstate New York. You are walking in the
footsteps of a guy who won a national title, went
to five final fours, a bunch of big conference wins,
and prime time TV back when college basketball got big

(12:40):
ratings and all that. The Syracuse brand, for better or worse,
is Jim Bayhum, and he's been deluded in recent years.
Even with Beheim, their last three year of Syracuse is
ten games over five hundred. That's it. They're fifty one
and forty one in the regular season, one NCAA tournament
appearance the last three years. I know there was a

(13:01):
global pandemic as well, but college basketball in general has
been knocked down the zeitgeist of the sporting world several pecks,
and that is going to continue. It's now essentially a
one month sport. March magis the sport is about to
begin on Sunday afternoon slash evening with Selection Sunday, and

(13:27):
then for the next couple of weeks after that it
will be the focus of much conversation, and then it
will all go away. It will all end, and it
will not pick up until the following Selection Sunday. All right,
it is the Bandmaller Show. You want to talk about
any of that, you can join us here at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. My call for new

(15:38):
and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. It
is Justin Cooper and he's at you. H let's listening
to the song, I thought he was about to say
little Justin Cooper, Oh, yeah, you've heard this before. I
have okay, doesn't get a lot of airport? Yeah, and

(15:59):
a lie from the Highrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller and a Jim Beheim monologue. Is that
the last one that we are going to do? Who knows?
Justin and Cincinnati was triggered and he says Beheim has
as many confirmed kills as national titles. He says, don't
you dare compare Beheim to coach k He added some

(16:22):
spicy language and there as well. Maverick writes in says
ay on the Malla monologue. Typically, I'm not intrigued with
college hoops, but you made it entertaining. And office supplies
can be expensive. Yeah, well they do that in radio too.
I've been whacked a few times in radio and they
get radio and they're like, hey, you got thirty minutes
to get out of here, and they like keep an
eye on you like a hawk, so you don't take

(16:43):
any crap when you're leaving. It's a lot of fun
chipping the cues rights in. He says, A plus on
the Malla monologue. I discovered the Ben Maller Show during
March Madness in twenty oh three, when Syracuse won their
only national basketball title. Yeah, we were here, Chip to
document all the fun, and we're still freaking here. Unreal.

(17:05):
All right, what else do we have? Page down here,
page down? Midnight Walker writes in says, for decades, Jim
Beheim did snarl and wine, but his teams, they were
excellent most of the time. For so many years, he
just couldn't go wrong. Now we cry orange tears for
coach Beheim is gone. The poet laureate, the Newport laid

(17:31):
their Midnight Walker from the Twin Cities, hope to meet
him when they end up in Minnesota later this year.
Late Night Drug Tester says Syracuse basketball will never die,
seeing his ninety five percent of sports journalism graduates come
from the school, and they always find a way to
bring it up during their shows. Let is spot on
Late Night Chuck Tester, You ain't kidding, man. I've worked

(17:53):
in a few different places over the years, and everywhere
I've worked it's a bunch of Syracuse hawks. Syracuse he
was apologist, so you are correct on that. And there
have been conspiracy theories that one of the reasons Jim
Beheim did not get more heat for his many Shenanigans
over the years was because the media cartel is controlled

(18:13):
by Syracuse people. And I'll tell you a funny story.
I don't know how funny it is, but I had
on my podcast the old sportscaster Dick Stockton who went
to Syracuse, and I remember we had him on the
fifth hour, and I brought it up, the whole Syracuse thing,
and he pointed out that when he went to Syracuse,
it wasn't Syracuse. It didn't become the elitist sportscaster institution

(18:37):
that it has become since guys like Dick Stockton went
there and other legends Bob Costas and whatnot. Back in
the day. Ferg Dog writes and says, I'm disappointed Syracuse
did not let a legend like Jim Beheim coach for
as long as he wants, or at least until he
drives over another pedestrian. I hope FSR treats its long

(18:57):
term employees better, he says, for your sake, Yeah, you
never know, any show could be your last show. You
gotta approach every show like it's gonna be your last show,
because eventually you're gonna be right. Eventually you'll be spot on,
and then I'll be like all these other hacks and
I'll just do a podcast and that'll be that, and
I'll probably make more money and I'll be fine. Let's
go to the phones. Let's see here, any meany mighty moll.

(19:19):
Let's say hello to Jed who fled? Is cashing a
golden ticket. Now he was on the year last hour,
but he was having a private conversation with Coo and
now Jed's back, Hello, Jed who fled. I wonder if
that guy that Jim Bayham ran over it was a
fan of rum, because he definitely unexpectedly got a little
bit of orange crush right there of the Interstate. I've

(19:39):
showered with numerous chicks, Man rang you from ten out
of Kim classy two chicks that Oscar the Grouch would
not even touch with gloves on. And he loves trash,
and it's a weird thing to hike your knee all
the way up to his height and to reach that
call deep into the old anal opening and wash that
thing hardcore in front of somebody. And if you're not
awkward or weird. I think only the trashy chick were

(20:00):
willing to do that because I'm supposed to Jed, Aren't
you supposed to at least make an effort when you're
in the shower to clean that area, right, You should
at least make some kind of yes. Yes, but I
mean you it's like a wax on wax off, except
men like the stuff hide down in the brown town.
It's not on the outsturt and city of limits. And
that's just a it's weird. I mean talking about people.
Women don't even poop at all. You know, I'm not

(20:21):
even sure my mom's ever pooped, so you know, yes,
women do not. There's no sequal matter and women there.
That's why there's none of that deflication, no pooping, you know,
I'm saying as a fourteen year old cut it up. Yeah,
your ant should have been Ricardo Ben because you are
cut off as a fourteen year old backwoods upcoming, you know, nerd.

(20:44):
Nothing was more important than memorizing the most popular rap
song at that time and being able to like have
a wrap off in the bathroom with somebody and just
destroy them. I saw, I thought, But I'm pretty sure
replaced a rocket. Roll by wrapped in the sports worlds
is destroying the planet Earth. Yes, that is the downfall
of society and humanity. Jed, are you concerned? Take a breath?

(21:09):
Take Are you concerned that you are not going to remember?
Are you? Are you concerned You're not gonna win a
wasted Caller of the Year. You are in what is
arguably the most competitive category. You've got Jet who fled,
Joey and Nashville, plastered Paul and Rhode Island and the
Black Irishman. No, because I've I've elevated myself to the
the the only one in the category of wasted plative life,

(21:31):
you know, saying I'm not here from the year. I'm
I'm committed, I persevere and I'll whenever I destroyed my life,
I will have won that award, you know, saying, So
it's a catch like a catch one. Now, do you
think that award will be named after you if you
meet your new money? Yeah, You're not gonna name it
while I'm still alive. I'm gonna have to die. So
the obviously to be posture posture, because after me, you know,

(21:51):
I mean, I trying to make so many work play
punts lose myself sometimes, dude, Like I'm like walking through
the snow my footprints. You medph conversationally and I look
back to, Wow, I was just talking about and I've
watched all the verbal bootprints out now, Like, how can
I say y'all know what I'm talking about if I
don't even know what I'm talking about at the time.
That's a that's a tough way that's got Now you
know who you know who your biggest cheerleader is, justin Cooper.

(22:13):
Coop loves you. He he He always says, Coop tells me,
we need to give you more airtime. He does. He said,
we got to give that guy more airtime. This guy
is amazing that he loves you. Yeah, well, I don't
slows that thing down. But also when I talk, you're
about going to take it earlier straight. Armstrong is embarrassed
at how how much you strike things out sometime, dude,

(22:34):
And it's just like, all right, I gotta go look
at the time, all right, thank you for that, Bye bye,
all right, clock is up. See we left on one
minute too long, and that's what I get. That's my fault.
One minute too long, one minute that's all all right. Anyway,
he w W making some headlines about this. They are
pursuing legal betting on scripted wrestling matches. According to CNBC,

(22:58):
they tell us that this is un a vlaielable to me.
WW is in discussions with the state of Colorado and
Michigan gambling regulators that would allow patrons people that bet
on sports in those states to bet on WWE matches. Yeah,

(23:19):
they're working with an accounting firm, Ernst and Young to
secure scripted match results. If the plan goes forward, they
would convince regulators there is no chance of the results
being leaked prior to the public. Therefore gambling should be allowed. Okay,

(23:40):
what could possibly go wrong with that? Nothing at all? Right,
nothing at all can go wrong. That story will work
out wonderfully. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey,
it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller
along with my trustee sidekick David Gascon would mean a
lot to have you join us on our weekly auditory journey.

(24:01):
You're asking one in God's name is the Fifth Hour?
I'll tell you it's a spin off of that Ben
Maller show could hit overnights on FSR. Why should you listen?
Picture if you will? A world will we chat with
captains of industry in media, sports and more every week
Explorer some amazing facts about a human nature and more.
Let'sten to the fifth hour with Ben Maller on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

(24:24):
And back to the NBA and Zion Williamson. He still
hurts the pelic. I can't believe it, Eddie. Yeah. I
was told by my friends in the Bayou that my
take when he signed the extension last year was a
terrible take. And this guy's a total stud. And in fact,
I had a couple of these jackasses who believe it
or not. There's these things called Pelican blogs. There's like

(24:47):
seven Pelican fans and they follow the team. They love it,
and they were like, goofing on me. Oh, you don't
know what you're talking about. How's that working out? Right?
Now that that take has aged very well, my take,
Eddie has aged like fine wine. Yeah. Anthony Davis looks
at Zion Williamson and says, damn, that guy's fragile. Kawhile
Leonard thinks this guy is a WOS. That's that's true. Also,

(25:09):
it's ridiculous. So he's been out it seems like all season.
And then the team announced he's gonna be out two
more weeks because of a season guns in early April.
The regular season ends in early April, so two more
weeks puts you at late March. And is he gonna
come back for a couple of weeks. I guess that
the Pelicans will be in the playoffs, so he'll have

(25:31):
a chance to play there. But I'll believe it when
I see it. I know, all right, thank you for that.
It is the Band Maller Show. As we press on
through the overnight hours, and we'll get back to the
calls here momentarily. This portion of The Ben Maller Show
on Fox brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive makes
bundling easy and affordable, getting multi policy discount by combining

Larry says working these split shifts are so much more
enjoyable when Maller has drunkards and felons calling in all night. So,
first of all, yodling Larry. If you're looking for drunk

(26:12):
people and felons, there is no show. I'm putting my
neck out on this. There's no show in all the
sports radio that caters more to drunk people and felons.
We are number one in both demographics. We dominate. You know,
some of these radio shows like to brag about how
they have high falutin executives of Fortune five hundred companies,

(26:33):
but not this show. No, we are more relatable. We
like the flotsam and jetsam. These are our people. Well,
not everyone likes the flotsam and jetsam. Jonathan's all up said.
He says, Jed is effing horrible. Not glad. We're doing
hot poop talk on the radios. So that made Jonathan
are uncomfortable. He did not like the poop talk, did
not like it, did not enjoy that that segment. Show

I'm like, I'm like a father here, I'm helping you out.
This is amazing. Yeah, you're learning how talk radio works. Yeah, hello, quick,

(30:33):
because I like to be on the show. Man. Let's
talk to you guys, you know, and can you say
now for us and we need a new drop for
the show. Can you say? This is Joey from Nashville
and I love the Ben Mather Show. Yeah, this is
Joey from Nashville, and I love the Burmella Show every night. Oh,
I talked over you there. Yodling Larry is a big

(30:54):
fan of your work. He says, Hello, Yodling Larry. He
loves your man. Here's what I want to two things
I want to tell you, okay, anybody, all right, all right.
The first thing is when I talked to you about
Jim Nance, this is his last you just mentioned it
the college dying. This is last year of doing it.

(31:16):
That's right. Isn't Iron Eagle replacing him? I believe I've
read that somewhere. I an Eagles replace. And also here's
the second thing, real quick, okay, I even know this
for sure. This is Jim Nance's personal friend, Jolian Nashville.
They hang out together. But anyway, it's the second thing.
It's very important, very very important, all right. At the

(31:37):
Saddle auction I was at, I took down there six
of the Pink Floyd albums because it was a fifty
year anniversary Monday. Yeah, and I put the money down
because I don't care if the shoulda or not, as
long as the money goes to Saint Jude's Hospital. And

(32:00):
uh so I got four of the paint filers back,
so that would be for Troop, Roberto and Eddie. I
got on the little difference. I got the John to
Lotta uh Staying Alive musical album. Okay, that I was.

(32:29):
I was actually telling Roberto before the show. I was
hoping we would get this this Roberto, was I not
telling you I needed some auction update from Joey that
I hope you would go. That's exactly what you were saying. Yeah,
and here here we are, my dreams. It's a crazy craziness,
joe you really are you reading my mind? Joey, you're
reading wow? Wow, Bro, you know how the listeners love

(32:52):
hearing about auctions, and so you put this stuff up
for auction and then bid on it. Yeah, because I
want some money to go to Sunny Jews. Why didn't
you just donate the money to charity and then kept
the stuff? Wow? Because Wow, I mean I've had I
was young man, how about like ten and eleven of

(33:14):
that led zep one. I've got every alpen and I
have been open. Em and Emma, the blind Seahawk fan says,
Joey sounds like Sir Scratchoff's cousin. Are you Sir Scratchoff's cousin.
I don't know. I gonna said, I live in nash
south of Nash Hotel and see you. I'm a country boy,

(33:36):
and uh, you know, well he lives in Arkansas. But
I got cousins all over the country. Yeah, the restaurants
has seen Missouri, you know. So I've been down that road.
I'm working cotton Jams. I got I gotta go. Yeah,
thank you, I got I gotta go. We have Mallard
of the third degree that is coming up. Time now

(33:56):
for the Insta trivia man here it is. If taken
in the first round of the twenty twenty three NFL's raft,
Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson would tie Mitch Trubisky and Blank
for the fewest collegian starts by a first round pick
at quarterback since the year two thousand. Again, if taken

(34:17):
in the first round of this year's draft, Anthony Richardson,
the Florida Gator quarterback, would tie Mitch Trubisky and Blank
for the fewest college starts buy a first round pick
at quarterback since the year two thousand. That is the
Insta trivia. The answer, We'll get to it and we'll
have Mallard of the third degree next he knowledge. Thanks, happy,

(35:22):
the Insta trivia will have Mallard to the third degree
as well, but here it is. If taken in the
first round of next month's nflo's Draft. Anthony Richardson would
tie Mitchell, Trubisky and Blank for the fewest collegiance starts
by a first round pick since the year two thousand,
which is almost a generation. Wow, that's crazy. That is

(35:45):
the question. What is the answer? Let's see does anyone
know the answer? Will go? Page down here, page down?
Batman guests by the Cowboy Killer. Who else do we have?
I can't read that? Danny Tardible from mister Nissy. Now
you've moved on from the White Sox to old school Mariners.
Good job by you. Jim McMahon from the Texas Trucker.

(36:05):
Uncle Rico from Just Josh Roving gumshoe reporter in Cincinnati. Emmett,
the blind Seahawk fan who loves all the support staff
at Fox Sports Radio says that Kevin figures is the answer.
We have a Manti tal his imaginary girlfriend from Orange
and Blue Blood Brett Page down, page down, saw Man says,

(36:26):
Jed who fled? Is the answer? Double j Jeff Jared
from Rob in Vegas. Rohan Davey from Many Urban Shocker.
Guess by a white rob the First the Little Bow? Wow?

(36:46):
Let's go Ben Roethlisberger, Ben Roethlisberger, Eddie, that is absolutely wrong.
It is Mark Sanchez. Mark Sanchez is the answer, along
with Vitch Drabsky Smeller. How about to the third degree.
This is one big band gets grilled Gorooglu All right.

(37:09):
Pete Carroll said that the Geno Smith deal doesn't necessarily
mean the Seahawks won't draft a quarterback with the number
five pick. Some analysts believe that the Seahawks have their
eye on Anthony Richardson Ben Could they get Richardson at
number five? Yes, they get it would be ridiculous. The
Seahawks should absolutely have a chance. Again, and we just
gave you the stat cope, the thirteen collegian starts for

(37:30):
generations that would downgrade you. But now these teams are
so desperate. It's all about the measurables. And listen, this
guy has built like a stallion. He's crushed the combine.
He dominated all the mister Olympia contest. That's great, but
it's it's insane that that guy would be drafted in
the top five of the draft. He didn't do anything

(37:51):
in college, he has no accuracy and it would be
a foolish decision by Pete Carroll. Next. Despite the fact
that forty nine Ers admitted to two consecutive NFC Championship games,
it's being said that John Lynch is on the hot
seat this year. Are you buying that, Ben? No, If
John Lynch leaves, it's because he's bored and wants to

(38:12):
try something else. The forty nine Ers absolutely sucked before
John Lynch got there. With Shanahan, they've been very successful.
They've gotten to a super Bowl, They've had their level
of I have won yet, but they've gotten close. And
John Lynch, he turned down big money on Amazon. I
don't think he's leaving next. Earlier this week, new Texas
head coach Steve Sarkisian told the media that every position

(38:34):
is open to competition, including quarterback. Ben. Do you think
there's any chance that arch Manning starts over quinn Ewers. Yes,
the first bad practice Quinny ears has, he's out. Arch
Manning is the anointed, the favorite son. He's the guy
the boosters at Texas want. He's got the Manning brand.
He's going to start. How did we do you pass

(38:54):
this edition? That is away. Are you can put it
on the board. Yes, a little work.
