Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bert two hour two
of our radio program and we yappity yap the night
away on the podcast version of the show, How do
you decode the big lawsuit filed by Brett Farve? He
files a lawsuit against Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe. Why

(00:24):
is this lawsuit from Brett Farve? Absolutely bananas? And what
does this move from Brett Farve? Guarantee we'll talk about
that and other angles to the Brett Farve story. We'll
get to it and we will do it right now here.
It is our number two. Don't tell anyone, they'll kick
me out. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of

(00:48):
the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere
close together as we visit Wonderland. I think that's where
I am. Coast to coast, border to order and beyond
on the past and tremendously powerful microphones of fs are
emanating live from the Sun the Valley of the Sun

(01:11):
tonight in the overnight. We are broadcasting live from the
ti iraq dot com studios. Ti iraq dot com will
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
So I'll lead this hour coming from the courtroom, although

(01:34):
not yet in the courtroom. Now, if you've listened to
the show off and on over the years, you know
that I am a sucker for these legal stories. And
we have a stutterer from down under in the great
state of Mississippi, NFL Royalty on NFL Royalty, just days
before Super Bowl fifty seven will be played here in Arizona,

(01:58):
one of the legends the game taking out a sledgehammer
and bam, just like that, Brett Farve wowsers. If you
have not heard Brett Farve back front and center, and
perhaps you missed this because you actually got a life
and you weren't paying attention. But we have learned that

(02:18):
Brett Farve is making it rain. He's making it rain lawsuits.
This is coming out of the tabloids, the Daily Mail,
one of the great tabloids out there in the world,
the London tabloid, the Daily Mail. They are reporting and
they have the documentation here that Brett Farve is a suan.

(02:39):
He has a suan. Former NFL star Fellow Hall of
famer Shannon Sharpe, who does what we do for a living.
He gives opinions. He does it on television and on
his podcast. And Pat McAfee, the YouTube guy, Pat McAfee,
as well as the auditor from the state of Mississippi.

(02:59):
Someone you don't know unless you live in Mississippi. And
I would bet even if you're listening in Mississippi, you
don't know who this person is, Shad White. All of them,
all of them are being sued for defamatory allegations made
over Brett Farve's involvement in that welfare fraud scheme, which
was oh nothing, seventy seven million dollars was the welfare

(03:25):
fraud scheme? Now one? One of Brett Farves, as spoke
hacks said the following quote said quote Shannon Sharpe and
Pat McAfee tried to further their careers by making baseless,
defamatory allegations against Brett Farve. Close quote So what did

(03:48):
they say? I'm glad you asked. That's a great question
to ask. What did they say? I'll tell you, Sharp
called Brett Farve, among other things, a sleez ball on
his very popular TV show on Fox Sports one with
Skip Bayless FS one there and he went off. He

(04:10):
went off the rails. They choosed the Brett Farve of
knowingly stealing one point one million dollars in public money
from Mississippi welfare funds in exchange for speeches that he
never made. Now, Pat McAfee, according to the legal papers,
accused Brett Farve of stealing from the poor people of Mississippi.

(04:32):
This other cat, Chad White, the auditor from the state
of Mississippi. He has been accused that he's being sued
also for defamation. And they claim the Brett Farve legal
team that this guy missiled the public about his involvement
in the case. So let us discuss it is an

(04:52):
interesting one to question, how do you decode how do
you decode Brett Farve filing this lawsuit against Pat mc
can fee and Shannon Sharpe. So I've got the zen master, Ma, suguna,
and prophecy, and we will combine all of these things together.
And we are going to combine a mop and a bucket.

(05:13):
Because I did see somebody off in the distance in
my long vision that was cleaning something, possibly a bathroom
here at Radio ROS. We would like to alert all
the affiliates down the line. The toilets are being cleaned
in the men's room here at Radio ROS. That's exciting news.
No one else has that because there's no one else here,
so we can report exclusively. The toilets are being cleaned

(05:37):
in the far bathroom here at Radio right right near
the exit, right near the exits. I'm walking, all right,
so number one, Mark, let me try that again, Mark,
I know you have that button. Here we go, number one,

(06:01):
number one? Yeah, what happens to the number one? That's
my toy, Mark, I need my number one? What happened
to the number one? Where did the number one go?
Did Robertos take the number one with him? He was
so devastated because of what happened through his lakers at
the trade deadline? Oh, there we go, all let's try
it to get number one. Oh it's great. It echoes

(06:23):
in here because there's no one else in here. So
when I say number one, I mean this massive haul
conference convention center. And when I say number one, it
just bounces off the walls. It's beautiful, all right. So
listen Brett farve Is and I'm I could be sued next.
He's off his rocker. On this one my opinion, do
you know you can As long as you say it's

(06:44):
your opinion, they can't sue you. Did you know that? Yes?
I was told by a program director years ago that,
but listen, my diagnosis. He was probably lying. But my
diagnosis is this that Brett Farve has two things that
are in play here. He's rich, and he's got a
lot of free time. And we all know it's one
of the weird things about the human condition. If you've

(07:04):
got a lot of free time, your mind wanders and
it goes to some really deep dark places. And right
now there is a toxic cloud that is rising up
and it was formed. They actually named the cloud. It
was named Humiliation was the name of the cloud, and
a humbling fall from grace. It has been said by

(07:25):
many people much smarter smarter than me, because who am I,
that you must fear the man that has nothing to lose,
and because he can do whatever he wants, he has
nothing to lose, he can sue, sue, sue, sue, sue.
Right up. Your tookis is what he can do and
that's what's going on here. Wow, now I'm threatening legal

(07:49):
I can be sued by Brett Farve next, I might
be the one getting the lawsuit next. I understand that
while Shannon Sharp and Pat McAfee, or the headliners on
this story, from what I was being told, there were
some other sports writers that were receiving these messages that
you better knock it off or you're gonna get sued
from people who are associated with Bread Farm. That's what

(08:12):
I heard. I don't know if it's true or not,
but that's what I had heard. But here's the thing.
I actually like Bret Farr. I mean, I love the guy.
We goofed on him some when he played with goof
on everybody. That's what we do here. But if you
do a cost benefit analysis of Brett Farm's career, he's
generally good. You know, he had the whole he had
the whole kind of good old country board thing, going

(08:34):
overcoming addiction early in his career. Beloved. Nobody ever said
anything bad about Bret Farm, and then all of a sudden,
it's like an unwatched pot on the back burner, bubbling
over the side. This guy had a glowing reputation and
rat a tat tat and just a regular dude blinking

(08:55):
and I and all of that lifetime where he built
up this repeation, not that it's completely gone, but for
people that pay attention to these kind of stories, he
ain't looking good. And Farve believes unjustly. I don't know
how that's possible, because there's audio recordings that have been
bouncing around claiming that everything's documented that what Farv said,

(09:19):
it's conceivable that it's a deep fake. That's the only
outcome I believe that would would justify this not being
what it is. But Brett Farve, either way, has fallen
down a wormhole. Hell hath no fury as a pig
skin legend, scorned by the court of public opinion, and

(09:41):
as the zen Master preached. And he actually wrote about
this in his book when one of the many books
he wrote when he was coaching the Bulls and the Lakers,
and he had a quote he said, holding on to
anger is like grasping hot coal with the intent of
throwing it at someone else, like the person you don't like,

(10:02):
like Pat McAfee or Shannon Sharpe. You are the only
one that ends up getting burned. You're the one that
ends up getting burned. On that now paced two, all right,
So explain to me explain to me what Brett farm
is looking to get from this lawsuit. So I'm gonna
hold your hand and I'm gonna walk you through this

(10:22):
year like you're a kid. So he believes in his
heart of hearts that this is a path to salvation,
that he is going to clear his name, that all
of this will be cleaned up, it'll all be rectified.
It's like the movie Men in Black. Everyone will be
neutralized and neuralized and forget about it, right, And in

(10:43):
his head he believes he will be exonerated. And as
my late grandfather would have said, what a mo suguna?
I mean, what agar methinks he's getting some shaky legal advice.
How do you think that went down? Bret Brett calls
a lawyer. I think I got something for you, and
you think the lawyer put the phone on mute, started laughing. Okay, Brett,

(11:05):
whatever you want. Here's my hourly rate, my billibol rate
every hour. Man, man, oh man, I get your name
is silly, and that was a big deal. I mean,
we worship athletes in this country. They are the gods
of the modern world. I get it. I understand that,
but jeez, and now now Brett Farves like the arsonist,
holding the jug of gasoline in one hand and a

(11:26):
blowtorch in the other, and he's going scorched earth in
the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
What do we always say on this show we talk
about lawsuits. In fact, that Mark the movie Man Mark
sent me a meet email about some frivolous lawsuit that
was filed against the New York Giants by the brother
of a giant's legend. This just happened a few days ago,

(11:48):
but we point this out all the time, and it's
an accurate statement in this country that needs to be
said every time we have these lawsuits. You you can
sue almost anyone or almost anything. The better question is
not whether or not you can sue I could sue
you right now, you could sue me. But the question

(12:09):
is whether or not you have a viable or winnable cases,
as we like to say. And so you ask an
attorney and they often the line that often gets said
is how much justice can you afford? How much justice
can you afford? And so just keep those checks coming
in direct deposit would be be good. Just direct posit

(12:32):
Bret Farm financially, how much is this lawsuit worth. I'm
glad you asked, because from what we are are hearing here,
Bret farm is seeking nominal and general damages whatever that
means very vague from all three of the parties he
is suing, including compensation for injury to Brett Farve's character

(12:52):
and reputation, which means to me, let me translate that
to you my translator device here that Brett Farb is like,
I lost all of these sponsors and they paid me
x amount of money every month, and I need that money.
And I would have made this amount of money if

(13:12):
this hadn't happened for the rest of my life, and
so you've got you gotta make up for that. The
other thing about this right unspecified punitive exemplary damage is fine,
But why do Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharp in particular
have very little to worry about. The one thing that
Brett Farb did not account for in his calculus was

(13:36):
the fact, and it's very important fact here that the
reality of the situation, as Bret Farb is a public figure,
it is very difficult to win a lawsuit against a
public figure. The courts have determined over the years that
they are fair game. Now some celebrities are trying to
change that, and they're saying, well, that's not right, you know,
and all that, and maybe it is not right, but

(13:59):
that's the way it's been for a long time that
if you're in the public square and you make your
money as a public figure, then people can spit all
over you and they can do other bad things to you,
and you really don't have a leg to stand up.
It's also just foolish saying that Shannon Sharpe and Pat
McAfee tried to further their careers, Okay, try to further

(14:20):
their careers by making baseless, defamatory allegations again Brett Farm.
Shannon Sharpe's making three million dollars at least from Fox
every year. Pat McAfee's making thirty million dollars a year
from the gambling website, not the one we love that
pays him thirty million last year. And how on God's

(14:40):
green Earth are those guys going to make more money
from goofing on Brett Farve. They're not. It's ridiculous, all right,
final point, So what does this move from Brett Farve grongte, Well,
it guarantees to bring the spotlight back to Brett Farve,
but not in a good way. He so far has

(15:01):
dodged legal jeopardy, but a lot of that dirty laundry
now will come forward because if this thing does go
through the legal system, then Brett Farve is going to
be He's gonna be under deposition as well. And Pat
McAfee and Shannon Sharp's attorneys and these other people are
gonna go through all of the dirt in Brett Farve's life,

(15:22):
and there appears to be a lot of it. And
this is the biggest week of the year for NFL
media coverage. We say it every year. We've got a
solid base of people that enjoy sports radio, but this
week we have more people listening than any other week
because of the Super Bowl. That people that aren't hard
oh sports fans, that are just casual they want to

(15:43):
sound cool, they want to hear something about football they
can talk about at work or whatever. Those are the
people that tune in this week to sports radio, and
now they're hearing all about Brett Farve and all his dirt.
And there's a lot of reporters. I've seen them here.
I've been here, you know, I was here yesterday throughout
the day that are going around, and they're they're horny
for a good story. And one drops out of the

(16:05):
skylike an engine off of seven forty seven, and Brett
Farve appears to be on a flight plan, a kamikaze
flight plan here and he is enjoying a prophecy, though
it's a self fulfilling prophecy because he is guaranteed a
bigger theatrical fall. His reputation dragged through the swap yet again.

(16:28):
And it's not because of Pat McAfee. It's not because
of Shannon Sharp or this guy in Mississippi. It's his
own doing. So Holy Connoli, all right, it is the
band at mallor show. You want to comment on any
of that, we'll take your phone calls at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine

and if you don't laugh, you're you're not somewhere that
has a funny bone. So just deal with that. Deal
with that. I get through life like that. And if
you want to see photographic evidence, I did put some
photos up. I usually don't post stuff late night here,
wait till the sun's up, but they are on the
show Facebook page and the Instagram page, so if you
want to check it out, see some photos of the
big giant set they have here at Radio Row. You

not post them on Twitter because that's a cesspool, so
I don't need to put him on there, but you
can check him out on Facebook and Instagram. We began
here talking about Brett Farve and his legal situation and

(19:11):
a reaction into that late night drug tester parts unknown rights,
and he says, I'm sure Brett Farr finally got around
to reading to Kill a Mockingberg and Mockingbird and assumed
all Mississippians are innocent of any wrongdoing. So he says,
page down, A page down. Can't read that on the air.

(19:34):
Whenever someone this is Mason in Huntington Beach, whenever someone
like Brett Farve allegedly commit Shenanigans, gets away with it
and then sue someone after getting away with it, then
I know there is something there there. So not only
is far If guilty, he's dumb. Well, we don't know

(19:56):
what's gonna happen with Brett Farve. But one of the
great examples that is that Slee's ball cyclist Lance Armstrong,
who was a blatant cheat for years and sued and
one he won lawsuits for people that claimed he was cheating.
He won, except he was cheating. They just couldn't prove

(20:19):
that he was cheating until the whole thing came apart
at the seams and all that. Matt the Warrior Raider
rays fan right since his Brett Farve's glowing reputation has
been a smoldering pile of rubble since it was learned
that when he was with the Jets, he sent a
foot a photo of his Woody Johnson to a woman. Yeah, yeah,

(20:41):
that was like, that was bad. But this is much
much worse. Gum beat day from the Sunshine State, right
since says not popular. But that's a good decision by
the NFL for a change, he says, talking about the
allowing the Mallard militia in to Radio Row. Yeah, well

(21:03):
they're all the NFL officials are sleeping. They don't even
know I'm here. They have no idea, no idea. I'm here.
All right? Is the Ben Maller Show. We'll take some
phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and let's go to Matt, who's in the value of
the sun here and he is cashing a golden ticket
on the Ben Maller Show. Hello, Matt, what's up? Ben?

(21:26):
How are you doing today? If I was any better,
I'd be at Radio Row. But I am so I'm
doing all right. Yeah, I'm doing pretty good. What's going on? Matt?
What you got Budd? I wanted to give my prediction
to the big Game, all right? I know Justin Cooper
was telling me when we were getting ready for the show.
He was saying, I hope Matt calls up and gives
me a prediction. And now here you are, and so

(21:48):
this is big Coop. Make sure you write this down, Coop,
I'm gonna tweet it out. Okay, good. I think the
Eagles are gonna be taking the win here thirty four
twenty seven. Well, listen, we're all wrong at some point
in life. Life is about mistakes. It's about overcoming mistakes, Matt,
and you have just made a mistake. So hopefully you'll

(22:09):
get past it and you'll be able to pick Super
Bowl fifty eight. Right, how about that? So you think
the Chiefs are gonna take it? Yes, I'm going with
Kansas City. That's how I'm doing it. I don't trust
Jayalen Hurts, but I will have a thorough second by
second review on this weekend's podcast, the Fifth Hour Podcast,

(22:32):
which will be recorded later today with no sleep, I
will be recording the Weekend podcast throughout the weekend here on.
And Benny versus the Penny is a big part of that.
Well awesome, Ben. I think I got lucky enough. The
Sun's getting Kevin Durant, so looking at maybe getting an
NBA championship this year, Well you should, but be careful

(22:54):
with that because the Nets were supposed to win and
the Clippers we're supposed to win, and they have neither
one of those teams has one yet, so Chris Paul's luck.
You never know. Well, Chris, I think you have a
better chance of helping the Sons than Chris Paul does
the rest of the way. But that's you know, I
don't know your jump shot. Maybe you're not a good shooter.
Maybe you can pass and play defense. All right, thank you, Matt.

(23:15):
All right, there you go. There's Matt hanging out with us.
All right, it is the band at Mallards show. We've
got Mallard of the third degree coming up in a
little bit. We'll take more of your phone calls as well.
You can join us here at eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three six nine. Hey, hold my beer situation and

(23:36):
so you think you can sing? Well, finally pay those
teases off. But right now, let's get over to the
Sporting News desk and we say hello to Games of Note,
Garcia and Eddie send send our best to your wife.
There she one under the knife. Everything good, though, I
understand I saw some photos. She seems like she's happy.

(23:59):
It'll operation and so I had a knee replacement surgery,
A little operation right, How long is that operation? How long?
I was about three or four hours? Oh my god,
Oh my god. So but how long is she going
to be down for the count I've I've never had that.
I remember Tommy La Sorda told me I'm name dropping,
but he's dead. But Tommy had both his hips replaced

(24:19):
and said it was like the worst thing ever. It
was like, you know, But the surgery went well, Okay,
she was when I left her, she was feeling great.
I texted her a little while ago and she said
that the pain meds were making her a little bit nauseous.
But no, it went well. Everything looks good. And I mean,
knowing her, she'll probably be up and around in like,

(24:42):
you know, a week or so. I mean, I don't,
I mean not, you know, not fully obviously back to normal.
She'll have to do you know, rehab, physical therapy, all
that kind of stuff. But she know she's in great
shape and she's very active, and so she'll be she'll
be getting getting around the house. I'm pretty sure within
a week or so. I would be, I would guess.
But all right, that's why I'm off next week. I'll

(25:02):
be there to take care of her and make sure
she can all right, gets everything she needs and but
things are going well. Thank you for that, Big hugs.
She's of course the star in the family. She was
on the NFL Draft with Roger Goodell a couple of
years ago, and you were slubbing here overnight. That's true.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey,
what's up everybody. It's me three time pro bowler Levarrington

(25:25):
and I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast
called Up on Game. What is Up on Game? You asked,
along with my fellow pro bowler t J. Hushman's Otta
and Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You
can only name a show with that type of talent
on it. Up on Game. We're going to be sharing
our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to

(25:49):
Up on Game with Me, LeVar Arrington, t J. Hushman's OUTA,
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcast from. To college Football News
and the Big Twelve and It's TV partners have reached
an early exit agreement with Texas and Oklahoma. The schools

(26:13):
will pay a combined one hundred million dollars to begin
play a year early in the SEC in twenty twenty four.
So I have a friend EDDI, who's a college football
like hawk. Like, he's a media guy who loves college football.
He swears to me he's he's a Southern biased football fan. Well,
he's a big fan of the SEC. He swears to

(26:34):
me that Oklahoma football and well, Texas has been irrelevant,
but Oklahoma is gonna be like Old miss. They'll score
a lot of points and they're just gonna be like
a middling team in the Southeastern Conference. He swears that
Oklahoma is it because they're joining the SEC or what's
behind that. He just thinks they're not gonna they're not
gonna move the needle at at the level of that

(26:55):
they're gonna have. To him, I think they have good
players at Oklahoma. He's convinced that they're not good enough
to compete with the SEC powers and they'll just be
a middling SEC team. And he's much more into it
than I am. Any. I like, I don't hate college football,
but I'm not like a herd old college football guy. Yeah,
I'm a big college football fan, but I'm not a
big I don't think I'm not a big Brett Venables fan.

(27:16):
I'm not sure about that guy. We'll see, Well, your guy,
your guy might be right. I'm inclined to lean that
way frankly. So then in Texas will be even more irrelevant.
But they'll make a lot of money. Well, he's it's
all about the money. Always about the money. Follow the
money man, heard that everyone? Of course, that's why we're
working overnight radio. Damn right, We're in it for the money.

(27:36):
That's where the real money is. And as I point out,
we're doing like mid days in Israel, and we're doing
like mornings, we're doing nights in Australia. Good day, Yeah,
afternoon drive in some places. I mean, this is a
global media platform here. It's not just about the United
States at all. So anyway, I just want to ahead

(27:59):
this thought, like, of all the schools, all the college teams,
you know who has the most money in college Notre Dame,
isn't it Harvard? Yeah? Well, I'm talking about the amount
of money that Harvard has the resources because of their
football program. Just no, because they're Harvard Yeah, yeah, I know.
That's why I wouldn't have guessed Harvard. Yeah, I don't know.

(28:21):
I'm seeing them out, Like Harvard has so much money.
They could give away education for like tons and tons
of years and they'd still not make a dent. I
wonder if you'll do that. No, I'm leaning towards no,
but you know who knows. All right, I thank you
for that. Eddiet. Is the ban at Mall or show?

(28:43):
Is that how much they have in their fun Harvard crap?
That's wild? Isn't that insane? Wow? Because money makes money, right,
so they add a lot of money and now and
I think I'm right on this that Harvard graduates kind
of do pretty good financially, like they're not struggling. Yeah.

(29:08):
Is it up to fifty three billion? At the end
of twenty twenty one it was at fifty three Wow.
That's crazy. That is nuts. Fifty three billion and they
still raise the rates for to go to Harvards nuts.

(29:51):
fugaz NFL award show they had last night here where
I'm at in Phoenix, right across the street from where
we are, the at a little theater here, and they
were all having a grand old time here, everyone all
dolled up. And I was leaving to go back to
the to the hotel to get ready for the show,
and I walked right by the theater and there were

(30:15):
all these like women, all dolled up, dudes wearing like
not tuxedos, but they had nice suits on and all
that stuff. And everyone's all dressed up for this thing.
And the highlight of the night. Now some people say, hey,
the highlight of the night was clearly the emotional moment.
Uh the the star of the buff He became the
star of the auve Buffalo bills. Nobody knew who he was,
Hamlin who before the injury. When he got up there

(30:37):
and spoke in the NFL uh making these tear jerk moments.
So for me, though, the highlight of this and I'm malcus.
He here and say I watched the whole thing, but
I did see this clip and I laughed my ass off.
And the good thing about it is you don't have
to see it. You can just hear it. And when
you hear it, you'll be like, oh my God. And
I present to you without coming to Larry. This is

(31:00):
the tight end of the San Francisco forty nine ers.
His name is George Kittle, and in his spare time
he sings. So he in the middle of this theater,
surrounded by other NFL players, looks like Joey Bosa's right
there in front of him. Christian McCaffrey's also in front
of him, and George Kittle decides, I'm sure this was organic,

(31:25):
not planned at all, unless it was. But he broke
out into song, and let's go to the audiotape. Here's
how that sounded. Yest our season's Ober and yes that
last game, Blue mcbrock, you should still feel brown. We
wouldn't be there without you and Christian McCaffrey. Dude and

Doug Williams from Polyde Josh is going with Mark Rippin

(34:24):
tossed out by Calligan, Tim the Great, Craig Wheelahan from
Kenneth the Sports Lama Eddie, Do you have an answer, Eddie? No,
All right, Eddie's out of the show. The correct answer,

Super Bowl twenty one Giants Broncos. That was a rat

(34:45):
kill win for the New York Giants. George Burns and
Mickey Rooney performed at halftime for that Super Bowl. Here
we go, it's Meller. How about that? To the third degree?
This is one big ban gets rail the coop galop.
There are now multiple reports that the New Orleans Saints
are front runners to land Derek Carr, and I know

(35:06):
you're not a supporter of car, but do the Saints
get better with him on our center? No? So I'm
shaking my no on this one. Derek Carr has established
himself who he is. He's an average quarterback who coughs
up multiple furballs during the course of the season. And
that's not much different than Andy Dalton. Like Andy Dalton's
an older version of what Derek Carr will eventually become.

(35:29):
So I don't believe that stirs the drink in New
Orleans at all. But Derek Carr marginal NFL starter who'll
have a job in the league for a number of years. Next,
Christian McAffrey said on a podcast appearance that the NFL
needs to bring back the team's ability to have an
emergency quarterback available. Now, Ben, it's obvious why Christian McCaffrey
feels that way, But do you think it will actually happen?

(35:50):
So looking into the Mallard crystal ball, I bought it
on the internet. Here's what's gonna happen. The NFL owners
will get together at a resort in Florida or California,
and they will put that on their agenda. They will
have a blue ribbon panel and nothing will happen. And listen,
the Niners got a bad break. They obviously got a
bad break in that game. The bigger issue, though, is

(36:13):
Josh Johnson blows. If he was if he was any good,
the Niners would still have a chance to won that game.
But he's stunk. He should never be in the NFL again. Next,
it was revealed that the Cardinals don't plan on hiring
a head coach until after the Super Bowl, Ben, do
you think this means that they're hoping to sign one
of the coordinators from either the Eagles or Cheese. No,
and I was actually the reason I'm here. Coop is
not for radio role. I'm interviewing for the Arizona Cardinal job.

(36:35):
Nobody else has that Coop. That's why I'm here. I
might leave the overnight job to coach the Cardinals because
they know I can get something out of Kyler Murray.
That's stiff that plays quarterback for the team here. Pay
a little bit better too. There it is Mallard to
the third degree. How did we do? He passed? That
is a winner. I won the game. Mmh.
