Speaker 1 (00:00):
Go ahead, make my day. It's our number two. Well,
you actually are making my day by listening here. It's
the Ben Malor Show podcast, and we can go to Baltimore.
The Ravens playing in the Thursday night game tonight. Reminder,
Benny versus the Penny is available. Benny Versus the Penny
is available on YouTube at Benny Vspenny Get the Thursday Game.

(00:21):
There'll be another episode up later today for all the
other big games in the NFL this weekend. But here
in hour number two, do you believe that Lamar Jackson
tapped out of the Ravens game at the last minute?
There's this report that says that he was cleared to
play in that last Ravens game and then decided at

(00:41):
the last second he didn't want to play. Also, what
are the odds that the Ravens would move on from
Lamar Jackson? We had some chatter that that could happen.
And where are you at on the one in seven
Jets raising season ticket prices next season? Yes, charging their
fans more to watch a product covered in mold. We'll

(01:05):
go there as well. Here it is our number two.
An act of bad poetry. Say what welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, making life interesting, unless we don't.

(01:29):
We are your neighborhood nutrition hub. We give you sports
takes nutrition coast to coast, border the border and beyond
on the vast and ear catching me. Powerful microphones of
fs are amminating live from the burner as we burn

(01:50):
the midnight oil and the microwave from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios. As my old buddy Chris Myerser say,
I kid, because I care. That's right. I see just
Josh over there nodding and said, yes. This portion of
the Ben Malor Show on Fox made possible in part
by our friends at tire Rack. That's right, tire Rack

(02:11):
O g art Puffin knows that for over forty years,
ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way
tire mind should be. We'll get back to the calls.
I don't think we took any last our bad job

(02:32):
by us, so you guys on hold the blame the microwave. Clearly,
it's my fault. Sandwich is good. Microwaves not so good.
Sandwich good. So we did the Baseball Hour last and
I see some of you guys who want to talk
about the World Series. I'm open to that. I'm here
all night. I got nothing else to do. They're paying
me to be here, so we'll talk about the World Series.
But our lead this hour is from Baltimore, Baltimore, the

(02:55):
Home with Sports with Coleman. Now, the Ravens are set
for the Lamar Jackson He's back baby. Allegedly, he leads
the Ravens traveling circus into South Florida for a matchup
with Tua Tongue of I Loa and the Dolphins. A
Thursday night action and no World Series game to distract

(03:16):
you from that, although it appears no one was distracted
by the World Series the other night when the Monday
Night football played. Anyway, Lamar Jackson's injury reports status has
been a hot topic of conversation here, and a lot
of NFL people with their stick up, their tukis up
in arms here, NFL scrutinizing the improprieties, if you will,

(03:40):
the way the Ravens handled the injury report. Jackson was
initially listed as a full participant in Ravens practice. He
was then downgraded to limited and then ruled out of
the game against the Chicago Bears. The Ravens would win
that game, and of course the gambling part of it,
the gambling element is a big deal. People bet money

(04:02):
on these games, and they bet money based on information
the NFL gives out. If they give out shady information,
it becomes a problem. Now it turns out, even if
you bet on the Ravens, you didn't think the Ravens
is gonna win because Lamar wasn't playing, you know the
outcome if you bet on the Ravens they actually surprised
they won the game. But the Ravens clarified that Jackson

(04:23):
participated fully in the practice. They just said he did
not take starter reps. That was the spin coming out
of Baltimore. Then that led to the change in the status.
Now the NFL is said to be investigating. I'm sure
that'll be great. They want to ensure compliance. Blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But
that's not the story. The story here entering the chat

(04:46):
now is Mike Preston. Now you might not know who
that is if you're not from Baltimore. He's a long
time sports columnist in Baltimore. This guy has seen and
done a thing or two. He's been around the block.
He knows where all the bodies are buried in Baltimore sports.
So anyway, he popped up on the b More Sports
podcast with My Guy's Sports with Coleman. And normally when

(05:08):
I get sent this stuff, I just ignore it. But
I thought this was really, really interesting and I wanted
to kind of bite into it because Mike Preston, who
knows where all the bodies are buried in Baltimore sports.
He told My Guy Sports with Coleman that Lamar Jackson
essentially torpedoed John Harball. That's what he's hearing. That the

(05:29):
Ravens were actually right there, they covered for Lamar Jackson,
that it was a last second switch arou by Lamar,
that he did not want to play, That Lamar Jackson
was supposed to play, he was cleared to play, and

(05:49):
he chose not to play at the last minute. So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
we're gonna base this monologue off this report. So question
and do you believe the chatter that Lamar Jackson, multi
time MVP, tap out of the raven game against the
Chicago Bears at the last minute, and then the Ravens

(06:13):
are covering for him by claiming it was a misunderstanding.
So my observation on this, I've got Uncle Drew, Crystal
mal and Tomahawk, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're going to clean up. There's a
spill supermarket, Steve tells me on Aisle seven. So we're

(06:33):
going to clean up Aisle seven. So number I said,
number wh okay on this one, do you believe Lamar
Jackson tapped out? I am drinking the kool aid because
the Ravens say what you want about him, They're not
gonna f it up that bad. Like, it is completely
logical that that is what happened, Lamar Jackson tapped out,

(06:58):
not that John Harm f up that bad. I think
the much more reasonable conclusion, if you look at this objectively,
is the Ravens are now covering for Lamar. They're gonna
get ding. Maybe they'll lose a sixth round draft pick
or something like that. There's a lot of meat on
the bone, and this guy knows a lot. He said,
Lamar was cleared but didn't feel like playing. That to

(07:20):
me is a smoking gun. Follow the bread crumbs. Follow
the bread crumbs. The Ravens, if this is report, if
this war's accurate, the Ravens are yeh. The doctors, the
medical staff's like you're good to go, and Lamar is like, okay,
I'll get out there practice a little bit. And he's like, nah,
I don't feel like it. Play Thursday. Like, to me,

(07:42):
that checks out Jackson. From what we understand, he runs
the show. He's the one that wears the pants. There.
The Ravens have supposedly changed everything to accommodate Lamar. He
doesn't like getting up early, so they practiced later in
the day. Like everything they do is to accommodate Lamar,
which is what you do with a star player, right.
The Patriots not to the same degree, but they looked
out for Tom Brady. The teams Peyton Manning played for

(08:05):
it looked out for him. That's that's how it works.
So John Harbaugh, this is correct that Lamar's not just
a quarterback. He's running the show over there. So John
Harbaugh is an underling. He's caught in a pickle jar
and we know nobody likes pickles other than Alf the punter.
But it's Lamar's world and everyone else is just kind
of rent in space, right, and it would be the

(08:27):
ultimate power move that he knows. The Ravens can't call
him out publicly because he's the face of the franchise.
They would get roasted. So instead the Ravens just have
to eat it, and they just have to take it.
And so Lamar's got the leverage, He's got all the awards,
and he's you know, he's the total late late hour,

(08:50):
late night ego guy, you know, last minute, eleventh hour
load management decision, the Uncle Drew of football, re irving
with shoulder pads, all that, and so it makes sense
he it was clear to play, and then he's like,
wait a minute, we got to play. I play on Sunday,
and then I gotta play five days later. I gotta

(09:12):
play twice in five days. I'm gonna make a business decision,
and I'm gonna miss the Bears game because that's just
a normal game on a Sunday afternoon. But I want
to play in that primetime game. And I want to
play in Miami because that's where all my friends are
because I'm from there. So I want to play in
South Florida. Okay, done deal? Why not? Now? According to

(09:32):
the Ravens, they're like, it was just a it was
some miscommunication. But wouldn't it be miscommunication? Riddle me this, Batman.
Wouldn't it be miscommunication if if the Ravens and Lamar
thought together he was going to play and then last
minute Lamar changed his mind. That's a miscommunication. So they're
not lying when they say miscommunication. They're covering for the player,

(09:56):
is what they're doing. And Lamar has been running this team.
It's a one man act for Lamar for years now.
Speaking of that, the other part of this which is very,
very juicy with Lamar Jackson, there's now at least some
smoke billowing up that Lamar Jackson's days could be numbered

(10:19):
in Baltimore. Oh my god, that's an outrageous thing to say.
Just go with it. So again, I go back to
the aforementioned this guy, Mike Preston, who was on with
My Guy Sports with Coleman on his podcast, and Mike
Preston's like, hey, listen, he's all. He just kind of
floated this out casually, you know, casually floated out that
there's a shot this is Lamar Jackson's final season with

(10:43):
the Poets, this could be it. I believe you're eight
and that's that's all. She wrote that he would enter
the transfer portal and betrayed. So the question sounds outrageous, right,
Oh my god, what is wrong with you? Overnight Talk
your hosts? Are you desperate for eat? So what are
the odds question? What are the odds that the Ravens

(11:05):
move on from Lamar Jackson? So for this we have
turned to the Malar Sportsbook. We've turned the Mallard Sports Book,
the Mallard Sports Book Gods, the unofficial odds direct from
Benny Versus the Penny, which is available now on YouTube
at Benny Vspenny on YouTube, follow the channel, thank you,

(11:28):
subscribe to it. So the Mallard Sportsbook Gods plus nine
hundred plus nine hundred right now, that implies about a
ten percent chance a one hundred hitter, which is almost
where Mookie Bets is in the world. Here is a
little bit better than that. So essentially you've got Mookie
Bets up there needing a hit. The chances of Mookie
Bets getting a hit are about the same as the
Ravens saying bye bye to Lamar Jackson. So it means

(11:52):
it's not likely, but it's possible. It's not fantasy land either,
you get the bat in the hands. Lamar's twenty eight.
He's got a fair amount of mileage now because he's
taken a lot of hits, played a good amount of
football over the years, and when he was playing earlier
there were a lot of mistakes. It was a stumblebump offense.

(12:12):
They ran hot and cold before the injury. He's been
hurt for a while, been out for a month or so,
and you're obviously not trading him now. And no one's
saying the Ravens are going to trade Lamar Jackson mid season.
But in the offseason the Ravens don't make the playoffs,
or they make the playoffs and lose on the wild
card weekend, things get spicy. Now, who would go big

(12:36):
game hunting for Lamar Jackson? And he said, well, everyone
would ban Lamar Jackson, And I don't know about that.
Looking into my crystal ball, maryber Lamar was a free agent,
essentially without a total freezing but he could have left
the Ravens. Nobody wanted him, nobody made a runner him,
which is outrageous considering that he went back to the

(12:57):
Ravens and he put up amazing great regular season ballplayer.
So looking into my crystal ball, the obvious one is
the team the Ravens are playing tonight, the Miami Dolphins,
hometown kid. Dolphins have been pathetic since Dan Marino, who's old,
So bring in Lamar Jackson. How about the Saints desperate

(13:18):
for a little bit of positivity and to buy you there,
maybe holding a top five pick. I don't know how
they don't hold the top five pick. You'd think they'd
have to have a top five pick. Now. The Jets
also can already see Woody Johnson drooling the tabloid fodder,
actually positive tabloid headlines. Now, if the Ravens were to

(13:41):
trade Lamar, what would this this pin would be? Well,
you know, listen, we hate to give up a player
like this, but you use the old Bill Belichick line
where Belichick said you trade a guy a year earlier
than instead of a year late. And they'd have to
throw some negative stories out in the media of the
Ravens to Burry Lamar. When you trade a popular player,
attack their character and a certain percentage of fans will

(14:02):
shift to your side. If Lamar's act is legitimately wearing thin,
if people internally in the building are annoyed and like
he just screwed us over here, he torpedoed us with
his latest move, if the Ravens everyone's got their breaking
point right, if this becomes a tinderbox, and the problem
is obviously would be a neutron bomb. If you trade

(14:23):
Lamar Jackson after the season, you'd blow up a bunch
of stuff. You'd reset the quarterback market around the league
and all that stuff. And it is unlikely, however, if
your Baltimore and people start sending your text messages and
all that. Yeah, look, you know you don't put your
plane on airplane mode or your phone on airplane mode.
Because as great as Lamar has been, and I never

(14:47):
thought he would be this good, I was skeptical of Lamar,
and he's been a wonderful player from September to December.
There's hardly anyone you would want a quarterback from September
to December, then Lamar Jackson. The problem is in January anyway,
he turns into a jack o lantern and that's a problem.
That's a problem. The Ravens have squeezed the juice, a
lot of juice from the orange, and now they've got

(15:09):
to ask is the pulp left worth the headache? That's
up to them all, right, final point. We go now
to Jersey, the swamp lands of New Jersey, where one
of the worst teams in football has made a rather
bizarre move. The question where are you at on the
one in seven j e Tes suck? Suck, suck, the

(15:31):
one in seven Jets raising season ticket prices for next year.
Let me repeat that for those of you a little
slow because you're working in a factory, or driving a truck,
or laying in a hospital bed wishing you could get
out of there. So the question where are you at
the one in seven Jets raising season ticket prices for

(15:55):
the upcoming year? No they didn't, Yes they did. This
is a classic tone deaf ownership move. It's Johnson and
Johnson and dumb and Dummer. How do you sell a
product that stinks and charge more for it when every man,
woman and child knows the product's a bad product. Seriously,

(16:18):
it's like selling a car and then if you go
over fifty miles in the car, the car shuts off
and you can't drive it for a day. Who would
buy that car? No one would buy that car. It's
a good looking car, though, you'd want to buy that No,
it's not. It's not right. So you've got a franchise
that's allergic to winning, and their idea of fan appreciation

(16:40):
is a extra surcharge unfailure. It would be like going
to a nice steakhouse and tipping your waiter for forgetting
to bring you your Tomahawks steak. I'm gonna tip you
anyway because you smiled at me, but you didn't. You
didn't get your Tomahawks steak. I know, but you were

(17:01):
nice to me and I didn't. I wanted it, but
you didn't give it to me. So I'm gonna tip
you anyway. What's the message the Jets are essentially saying,
and you can correct me if you wanted this, But
to me, the Jets are saying, yeah, we're terrible, but
you're still so dumb you're gonna show up anyway. It
is a captive audience. Jets fans are chumps from Fireman

(17:21):
d on down. You're all a bunch of trumps. You
got your little green jerseys there, you got your face paint,
and you're standing in line, wrapped around the building, online,
wrapped around the building, right around the block there to
get punched in the face every Sunday. Now, some pr
flak for the team actually tried to spin it, saying

(17:43):
that the affordable seats are not increasing. Oh great, so
the people sitting in the stratosphere near the pearly gates
get a mercy rule and the excuse and this is great,
My god, is this a great excuse? The Jets pr
flat said, well, because we lost a game to London.

(18:04):
We had to play a game in London, so they
have to punish the fans in the Tri State area
because they played a game in London. That is not
a reason to raise prices. That is a reason to
issue refunds. You're literally charging your fans more for less.
That is skullduggery one oh one. Dress it up with

(18:26):
body spray and spin and hope that the suckers don't
notice the shell game. It's like the old Times Square
before Disney bought it all and cleaned it up. Man,
that was there were peep shows and three card Monty.
You could buy any kind of handbags you wanted. In
Times Square, it was a total sesspool. Now it's all different,
But it's like that. It's like the Jets are playing

(18:47):
three card Monty here and Jets fans they should get
hazard pay, not invoices. They should get hazard pay. And
the Jets. Most teams try to sell hope, they hope
we get better. The Jets are selling a habit. It's
like fentanyl. I was like, no, it's not good for you,
but it's general. You like it, but no, it's not good.
You shouldn't do that. Now they know they're fans, we'll

(19:10):
keep paying and keep chanting jay t suck, Suck, suck,
and they'll keep serving up the slop. As long as
the fans buy the slop. It's a sucker's paradise. The
team stinks, the ownership stinks, the players stink, the coaches blow,
and the fans think, I guess that's that's a good thing.
And they just want to want to have the privilege

(19:31):
of buying tickets to watch the poop show. It is

Speaker 5 (38:51):
KOBALOOP A cowboys insider reported On tuesday that the team
has quote not engaged in contract extension talks with wide
Receiver George pickens or his.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Representatives.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
Now some believe this means The cowboys could ultimately decide
to Trade piggins before the. Deadline could you see that?

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Happening there is a better, Chance, coup that you sign
a contract on the practice squad with The cowboys Than
George pickens is traded between now and the. Deadline not gonna,
happen not gonna. Happen you, Know jerry's futzing around with
a bunch of, stuff doesn't you? Know piggins not necessarily
gonna stay there because He the problem Is piggins wants
to be a number one. Receiver he won't be a

(39:26):
number one there because they already have a number one.
Receiver they're paying a lot of money, too so they're
not gonna put him as the number. One but he
will not be traded because The cowboys are like a faux.
Contender they're not a real. Contender they're a faux.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
Contender Next Davos sweeney spoke with the media and the
wake Of Brian kelly's firing BY lsu and, said, quote
you've got a lot of really good football coaches that
have won a lot of, games but they're getting fired
because they really haven't won. Championships and you've got others
that want you fired even though you've won. CHAMPIONSHIPS i
wonder who he's talking. About, ben do you Think sweeney
could be?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Next, yes it's. All first of, all just you want
a championship or two doesn't mean you have lifetime. Employment,
secondly it's all about the, daddy the sugar daddy. It
clemson's got to find a guy to pay Off dabosweeney
and they'll fire him. Next The Greek.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Freak was asked about a report that cleimed he had
contemplated to trade and The knicks were the only team
on his wish. List giannis responded, SAYING i don't remember,
that and then change the. Subject then you Think giannis
gets traded the.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
SEASON i would say there's a forty five percent. Chance
it depends how good The bucks are when we get
to the trade, deadline which is In. February we got
many many, games many months to go before. That but
if they, suck, yeah how'd we doubt you pass this
decision that is a. Win put it on the, ball
