not our lead this out. No, no, no, no, don't
(03:39):
bear the lead, my man. Now, I've learned over the
years from spending many many hours behind these microphones, the
powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio, the bully pulpit, I
have learned that what moves the needle, even in the
middle of March madness. Football time Now for a Mallor
(04:03):
Show follow up, a Mallor Show follow up dateline Foxborough
Free agent visit, free agent visit Wide receiver Stefon Diggs
a very public courtship.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
With the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Have you heard the latest, Well, we are told that
the meeting, according new reports, the meeting between Stefan Diggs
and the Patriots went very well. However, there is no
contract that is said to be immited. Diggs visited New England.
That visit consisted of a free meal with team employees
(04:43):
that was on Wednesday night, and there were meetings on Thursday.
There was a physical he was poked and prodded, and
then he was picked up by a car service and
driven to the airport and he got out of dodge.
He took off us discuss the question Stefan Diggs meeting
(05:03):
with the Patriots. However, however he left without a contract.
What does that tell us? So I've got sugar Loaf,
Texas roadhouse and my pillow, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
some gummy candy.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Because I know that our friend Lorena loves gummy candy
and she doesn't like when people at work steel her
gummy candy. All right, So num burr, I said, numb
bur My first thought on this Stefan Diggs's story and
what it tells us, the fact that he didn't agree
to a contract with the Patriots, is.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That the check engine light started a flash.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Ooooooow, that's what it sounds like wooo, just like that.
So the check engine light started flashing and making some
noise when the exam was taking place, when the physical
was taking place. There's got to be something that was
a little funky, little funky there.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Now, what is my supporting evidence?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
This was, to our knowledge, to Fon Diggs first free
agent visit of the offseason. The NFL drafts about a
month away. There's been a lot of players bouncing around.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So the fact that he went to New England, what
does that tell us?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It tells us that that was his either only option
or he wanted to play for the Patriots, or both
or both.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
So you don't visit a team.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Unless you're willing to sign a contract with a team,
Otherwise you would have gone somewhere else first. And he
traveled all that way to get a turkey dinner and
a bag of chips. So that's what it is now
as the mantra in the NFL. We've all heard this
over the years, right, you pay attention to this stuff.
If you bring a free agent in for a visit
(07:00):
and you want the player, what do you do. You
put a padlock on the door, you dead bolt the door,
and you don't let good players leave the building. You
get the doc you signed out, and you say, all right,
let's sign the fact that that did not happen with
Stefon Diggs. Instead, instead it's we're getting spin like, well,
(07:23):
you know, it's just to get to know your type
of meeting and you know where you're at medically, that
type of thing. And if you smell closely, that's bull
almost said the ForWord. It's bull bull pucky quote Jay Scoop,
it's bull pucky. But the Patriots I love the reporting.
According to Jordan Schultz, the king of All Starbucks, he
(07:46):
said that the Patriots intend to remain in contact after
they met with Stefawn Diggs. So this is now sounding
to me like a old school nineteen seventies Sugar Loaf
song don't call loss, will call you, don't call us.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So it makes you wonder things that make you go hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Is that acl now like barbecue pulled port? Did Stefan
Diggs ask for too much money? We know the Patriots
are a bunch of tightwades. Now they say they could
circle back. That's a weasel word. It sounds on this
side of the microphone like Stefon Diggs will.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Continue his job search. So it sounds like to me
and there's really no one else knocking on his door
to our knowledge.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now page two, there are whispers, in hush tones that
that Cowboy's front office is said to be a house divided.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Isn't that dramatic house divided? A house divided over Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And whether or not to give him a mega mega,
mega mega millions contract extension defensive star Micah Parsons. So
is this genuine or is this phony? So I have
this one, the Michael Parsons front Office divide, the great divide,
(09:13):
the chasm in the front office of the Cowboys. I
have this as kosher. I believe that it's legit. I
don't think it's phony maloney.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
In fact, it's not a surprise.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It would have been a surprise if there was a consensus.
The fact that Mike and Parsons hasn't agreed to a
contract yet.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Is part of the story.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But my position, and I know this from and I
have an advantage over everyone else. I'm a human being,
so I know what human beings you act like. It
is nearly impossible to get a group of people to
agree on anything because back in the day, and I
was a bad student, but I paid attention and a
(09:54):
little bit when you would when you were doing group projects.
There's always the person that does the lion's share of
the work. There's the people that just do the bare minimum,
and then there's the people that are the caboose and
they're just along for the ride, right, They're just along
for the ride, and.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's the standard.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Fair And with the Cowboys, like any other team, there's
gonna be clicks and you don't expect universal agreement.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Michael Parsons is more name than game. Do you agree
with that?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Like, the name is pretty good because he plays for
the Cowboys, got the star in his helmet. But it's
like if you went to the Texas Roadhouse and they
added to their menu there and they said, well, by
this item, it's all sizzle, but it's a petite steak.
It's not no steak. It's just a petite steak, but
it's a lot of sizzle, just like that, but not
(10:47):
a lot of steak. And as we understand the power
structure in Dallas, there's.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Sound of it right there, either that or lightning and rain.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
But you have you have good cop bad cop, you've
got good cop, bad cup.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So Stephen Jones the spawn.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
The kid that just happened to get in the right
genetic lottery, his dad happened old the Cowboys. So Stephen
Jones is a tight one from what we're hearing, and
he didn't want to spend money. And then Jerry Jones
wants to spoil his guys and just give them the
riches of Solomon. Thus you have what's known as the
I word instability. Also, everyone, everyone who's around the Cowboys
(11:32):
has to be part of the reality show, and the
Cowboys always must maximize media coverage. And if the Cowboys
had already signed Michael Parsons to an extension, the story's over.
If you wait until training camp at the eleventh hour.
It's like those movies where they have the sticks of
dynamite wrapped with tape and they have a timer. You
(11:55):
got to stop it right before the timer gets down.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
To double zero or triple zero. You got to stop.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But ultimately, we do believe that Micah Parsons, against our
better judgment, will get a bag, a giant bag, and
he'll be paraded around the Death Star with the Cowboys
practice and everyone will be happy.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
And smiling and we all right.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Now final point, we go to Baltimore. A hum dinger,
A humdinger of a story. How do you untangle the
latest revelations that Ravens Kicker, the creepy kicker, Justin Tucker
hired a law firm for those facing high profile reputational attacks.
(12:37):
How do you untangle that? So this is kind of
like a Metallica song fight Fire with Fire, And I
love the fact that an NFL kicker is in such
a corner. He's like a cornered snake that he's hiring
one of these high falutin DC area firms that is
supposed to clean up your mess. And it's the same
(12:58):
company that Mike Lindell hired, the My Pillow Guy. So
Justin Tucker has something in common with the My Pillow Guy.
The company I was reading about it called the Claire Locke.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I think I'm getting that right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I was a story in the Baltimore Sun about this,
and that's the law firm, and they've pretty much cornered
the market on these type of stories scandal ridden people
and normally politics from what I read.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
And then you have an NFL player here, and so
Justin Tucker is under siege. If you missed it, he's
been accused. How can I clean this up for radio?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Justin Tucker has been accused of giving out his franken.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Beans to those that didn't ask for as franken beans.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Brushing his as Lady Gaga would say, his disco stick
against the massage therapist, and leaving what some of them
thought was his own personal homemade blend ranch dressing on
the massage table, among other things. And we're over a
dozen I think we were around sixteen massage therapists that
(14:08):
we're making these various claims. Now, my moles tell me
that it's only a matter of when. It's not a
matter of if. It's a matter of when Justin Tucker
will end up getting whacked. Probably shouldn't have used that word,
but in Baltimore that he's out. The Ravens are expected
to draft a kicker in the late April draft, likely
(14:32):
day two, day three, definitely not day one, maybe day three.
They'll draft a kicker, and then on some random Friday,
when no one's paying attention, all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
It'll be bye bye, and Justin.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Tucker will be excommunicated from the flock. He will no
longer be a poet and you don't even know it.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Let's go to the phones and let's say hello to

Speaker 8 (20:19):
Hey ben Mo. How you doing? How lorain I knew
my friend Mitch had a girlfriend named Lorraino.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
By the way, really and did Lorraina get a lot
of packages in the mail?
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
He did, he did. That's all the raders, all the
raiders get that.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Oh oh, so I want to say something back in
the day, when I was seven years old, when I
was seventeen years old, I should say. My mom said,
when he goes, if he go, don't go go and gamble.
So anywhere, went to Lenox City, mew me from Paul.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
We came back and I washed my hands.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
In the sink, and my mother said, well, what are
you I go? I was not playing basketball. I got
a good I got a good one. Mind off my Raine,
if I may.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
He dog? That story made no sense.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
What do you mean it was?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
You just told a non sequitor that made absolutely no sense.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
The story that you just told, Well, no, she do,
I was, she did. I was gambling. But I was.
I was gambling, man, I wasn't you know, I don't
want I was.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I was playing you lied to your your mother, your
dear old mother. You can't lie to your mother. What's
fine with you?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
I can't lie to my brother, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Did you know by the way he dogged it?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Literally, every day of the human experience is a gamble
that each day it is estimated that we make.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I'm trying to pay off. Calm down, I did it
the moment.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Each day as a human being, you make thirty five
thousand decisis a day.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Thirty five thousand decisions? You don't seem impressed. That's a
big number. How are you not impressed? All right, Wow,
that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
What hey?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Are you talking right now?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hey? Dog?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
Here we go. You know, I don't know if you
know it's burning the horses. If a male horse is
running and he has to go to the bath field,
and he keeps running. But if the female horse is
a female horse have to go to that.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Bath film and has to stop.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I was actually thinking about that when I walked into
the studio. Yeah, how do you know?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Are you reading? Are you reading my mind? He dog?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Hey, I gotta tell you I've had I love I
love those dogs.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The dog you know, a big dog. I got Moxie
my dog right now.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But female dogs much better than male dogs because male
dogs you're innate on everything, but female dogs not. They
don't do that, so it's much better. I had my
my dog Luigi.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
We got rid of because it was just out of control.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Butimember time, I think the next thing I'm gonna win,
they lose.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Dog. I was, you know, I was telling start, you're
non secondary.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Also, baby, let's go baby the d devils. Baby.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, all right, I gotta go. Thank you.
Speaker 10 (23:28):
He has Was there a time that he was a
good caller?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yes, yes, because it was him and when Joe Dog
when they were back.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
This is this was like a long time ago because
I don't remember them at all.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So this is before this.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Goes This goes before you were with me. This goes back.
Oh my god, the years are piling up here. This
is probably eighteen. I mean, I'm guessing Joe Dogs probably
in his mid thirties now. But he was in high
school when he started calling me and him and and
it was it was the two of them tag teaming
the show and they were entertaining. But that was like
of non sequorts, right, Holy crap, was that bad. Let's
(24:03):
go to Let's go to?
Speaker 1 (24:04):

Speaker 11 (24:11):
Well, thank you, guys.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
I don't even know. Typically it's hard to talk people,
but I don't know that it's going to be very
hard to top that guy. That was painful. But I'm
like Lorena said, I kind of want some of whatever
he was having, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, No, you don't want that. No, you
want none of that, none of that.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
I don't know. I mean, it's kind of late in Denver,
like it could sound like a robotustin situation. It might
put me to sleep, but who knows.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I could.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
You guys are talking about BUCkies that place is that
people are like crackheads for that around me where they
just opened a new one. It's like thirty minutes for
me in Denver or outside of Denver. So people I've
never been. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
People go, you've never gone, You've never Oh, they're not
an advertiser, but this place is insane. I was at
I've only been to BUCkies once. I was in South
Carolina and it was a It's like a religious experience.
It's like you're going to the tabernacle of like barbecue
and they got they got everything, every possible snack.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
They Yeah, my boyfriend played it was like bastball at
the University of Texas, and they like, go, I guess
longhorns all day. Maybe for him, but I can't with it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Look at you, Look at you, you humble, you humble
bragg Look at you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You humble brag all my boyfriend that played college sports
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Look at you out there.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
It's hilarious because he's ten years older than me. So
then I'm literally he's like we were there at final four.
My name's on the wall, and I'm always like, oh
my gosh, Like let's get out of the glory year.
It's like that was how long ago? Now, like it's
time to put him out at that point.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
No, No, that's how we listened for the rest of it.
As long as you know him and maybe you guys
will get married someday for the rest of your time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
He will tell stories about that for the.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Rest of his guaranteed, just like I tell stories about
I did Dodger Talk twenty seven years ago or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I still tell stories about it.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
So it happened, that's true.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Well, I mean that's kind of where I'm at is
because I so I interned in sports radio and I
kind of like, I know, I called a couple of
times a year, like it sounds like you have the
itch for it, and for me, I'm like the biggest prankster.
So I actually was like, all right, well, maybe I
could get my way into like a spot on the
local radio station just by doing an April Fool's trick
and then seeing if the audience likes me more than
(26:24):
the host that I think is so annoying. So I
was going to see if you guys had any any
April Fools jokes in the radio business from the years
that that. Hopefully none of the local guys are listening
as well that I can.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, they're not listening. Let me let me think about that.
I know a lot of the ones we used to
do you can't do anymore because of the Internet. So
that's that's part of the problem. Uh So is there
like are they having are they having a contest or
something like if you do any or you just want
to pull.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
A fashion No, I'm just I'm just yeah, I don't know.
I work in marketing, in promotion, so like real estyle
marketing is like I literally showed up one day and
they were like, are you looking for a job. I
was like, no, I just wanted to promote this thing.
And I like Clint Hurdles. I'm from Pittsburgh, so they
were like promoting his book and so I just like
went down to the radio station. They're like, oh, all right,
good to know.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
So I remember you.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I remember that call because you mentioned Clint Hurdle. It
was very random that you mentioned Clinton.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Yeah, it's super super random, like my Pittsburgh, Colorado sports
connections and stuff, but it is.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And another another one, the great Jim Tracy who managed
the Rockies and the Pirates.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
So they oh, there you go. That might have been
before my time, but it was after, you.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Know, it was just it was actually after Clint Hurdle.
Jim Tracy was Denver.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Now I'm in the Denver sports area, but they still
stuck the fire.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah yeah, no, Jim was.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Jim was now So there you go.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right, well we'll try to think of an April
Fool's joke.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And I liked that you worked the humble bragg in there.
So good for you. Okay, everyone's impressed. Now you're dating
some former Texas.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Longhorn, so good for her. Good for her slide sliding

Speaker 2 (29:06):
You're going down that first slide, you know, and that
first drop on Pirates of the Caribbeans and it's.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Getting a little cold, you know, And I love that.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
That's my I love that ride because if you go
to Disneyland, and it's not that busy. You can go
on that for like eight hours, just over and just
get off and get back on, and it's just awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And it's air conditioned in there as.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, yes, during the hot summer days. Perfect perfect, perfect,
perfect perfect.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
All right, it is the Ben Mashaw So my favorite
story I teased this last year.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I got to pay this off right now, just bear
with me.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Did you see the story about the FBI informant who
exposed a professional boxer who had been scamming NBA players
of millions of dollars? And how was this boxer scamming
(30:02):
NBA players of millions of dollars? He was using fixed dice.
He had loaded dice, and and these NBA players would
would end up falling for it and ended up costing
them millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But now the jig is up.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
The informant outing a guy named a B who, he
said a corner story, cheated a current NBA All Star out.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Of one point five million.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
And a former NBA All Star out of five million
using loaded dice.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Where can you buy loaded dice? Where do you? I
don't even know where you get that? Black market then
probably TIMU.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Anyway, Uh, the story says they they ended up. I
guess the gangs were in vault in this, of course,
and they were charging the players one hundred thousand to
get their money back from the boxer. I guess these
other people involved in it. It's like it's this long,
convoluted story. It's really worth the read. It's very interesting.
(31:15):
I don't know how much of it's true and how
much of it's bull crap, but it sounds like a movie,
doesn't It sound like a movie, like you know, some
shady card game or in this case, a dice game,
and these NBA players lose millions of dollars. And they're
talking about like La street gangs being involved, and they
had to pay like the mob, they had to pay
(31:36):
protection fees.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Like there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in this.
It's a criminal.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
They ended up being a Federal prosecutors claim the guy
ran a criminal enterprise that committed racketeering, crimes, extortion, human trafficking, fraud.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
There's even like murder involved in this. Some musician. I mean,
it is all kinds.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
This is right out of some kind of who done
it thing and whether it's true or not, but it's
a it's an interesting story, interesting story. But they didn't
name the players. Now, I remember a couple of years
back there was a story that John Wall had lost millions.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Of dollars at some card game.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
But they didn't say John Wall was in this, but
it said I remember years ago there was a story
bouncing around and I'd love to know the names.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
God, I would love to know that. That would be great
to know the names. But we don't know the names
yet of the players. We don't keep an eye on
that file. That one away.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Let's go back to the phones. Let's say hello to
Let's go to Stephen. Stephen is up next. I believe
he is in the Great state of North Dakota. Hello, Stephen, welcome. Oh,
oh my god, he's back screaming Stephen.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
But we buy a lot of feed and tools and
other stuff at Tractor Supply by say good day.
Speaker 1 (33:25):

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Uh, they're great store. And since you brought this up
in honor of you, screaming, screaming Steven, Uh, let me
point out that Tractor Supply knows that a winning season
takes practice, team and a can do attitude.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Isn't that right, Stephen?
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (33:44):
Didn't they smile all the time? And yes, well the
employees are very very well uh.
Speaker 1 (33:51):

Speaker 2 (33:52):

in North Dakota. Now, thankfully, when you have a neighbor
like tractors up, why teamwork comes easy. Whether you're caring
for pats, chickens or a few acres, our team members
will help you succeed.

Ben John Lynch spoke to reporters at Stanford's pro day
Wednesday and talked about the forty nine ers clearing room
this offseason and that they have a plan to restock
the roster. He said, we have some big things coming
our way. Ben, how long do you think it'll be
before the forty nine Ers are legit contenders again?
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Well, the problem is they don't have a quarterback, they
have a game manager, they don't have a guy that
upgrades players around him. So it's gonna be there'll be
a fringe playoff team, but to be a real Super
Bowl contender, it's gonna be a long time because Rock
Purty's not that guy. You're not that guy, pal, And
what else is John Lynch gonna say? He's got to
be positive next?
Speaker 10 (40:08):

certain stat. The nc double A then basically did the
same thing on Tuesday. Yeah, Ben, do you think player
props on college sports could be a thing of the past.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
No, because John Oliver is not that bright, because you'll
you'll get rid of the illegal betting of player props,
but dudes will just go to their bookies or they'll
they'll go to the illegal websites and bet player Player
props are not going away, So either you have them.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Legal or you don't have them legal. It's it's noble
to say get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
They're not going away because people gonna if people want
to bet props, are gonna find a way to bet props.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
So you know, you knock yourself out. Next.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
