How are you going to remember the life and.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Times of Jim Irsay.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Who has been the acting owner of the Colts since
nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
That's a long run.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Can you sum up Jim Mersey's quirky side as an
NFL owner? There are many stories about that and what
happens going forward. Life goes on.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's the one constant, right, Life goes on.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So where does jim Irsay's death leave the Indianapolis Colts
franchise going forward? We'll talk about all of that and
more right now and here it is our number two
heading to the horseshoe in the sky well gone. In
the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We are in the air eywhere shoulder to shoulder as
we see flying chickens in the barnyard coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and noisily
powerful microphones of fs are emminating live from the down the.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Touchdown in the back of the.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
End zone as we are emanating from the Fox Sports
Radio studios as approved by the Deacon and mister Irrigation
as they listened to the show there in Houston. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part
by ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
(01:56):
been helping customers find the right tires for how what and.

They drive ship fast and free.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Which is very important for Ferg Dog and Alf backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, Tire act dot Com the way the
tire buying show.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So we'll change it up.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Degger to the
to the Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers
to the next. It was magical, absolutely, But our lead
this hour is from the NFL. Some some sad news
(02:39):
to share. I assume you've heard this by now, but
maybe not. Jim Ersay, very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay,
someone that we've talked about a lot over the years.
The longtime owner of the Indianapolis Colts is dead.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The team announced that on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He was sixty five and Ersay died, they said the
team peacefully in his sleep.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They claimed.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
on the social media.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That highlighted his love of the game and all that.
Of course, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
owners in the NFL and the history of the league.
(03:46):
At that time, he's like, hey, here's the Colts.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You congratulations. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Ersay was not not supposedly in poor health recently, which
has led to more Internet speculation.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
In fact, he.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Posted on social media early in the day on Wednesday.
His last post was good wishes to the indian Annipacers
that turned out to be the last one before his
untimely death. Again, no cause of death was announced. A
lot of Internet investigators believe they have the answer. Certainly
(04:20):
if you followed Ersay, you know there's some some skeletons there, unfortunately,
but Ersay very vocal about that, and he'd been open
about the In fact, he's had issues with alcohol and
prescription drugs, and he's been in and out of rehab,
so many people are the success rate of rehab is
not not particularly great, but he's had a couple of
(04:41):
near fatal overdoses. Of people kind of said, well, this
is what happened, but until they announced it, it's it's
all just just chatter. But let's get to the the
point of this as we discuss and the question when
when someone who is a public.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Figure, who we have.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Talked about and is out there in the spotlight. So,
how are you going to remember the life and times
of Jim Irsay as the owner of the Colts? Knowing
that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but what
are you going to remember and how are you going
to remember Jim Irsay? So I have high school musical
toy story and young Blood and will combine all these
(05:23):
things together and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay
through the proper eulogy. But the first thought I have,
number one, being behind these microphones, It's hard to believe
that I've been doing my job as long as Ersa
has been the owner of the actual head owner of
(05:44):
the Colts. It's been a while, and jim Irsay has
been one of the characters in Sport For better or worse.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Jim Irsay is a character can we all agree on that?
Can everyone agree on that?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
He's whimsical, he's playful, he's got an edge to him.
Is someone that some people out there to think he's,
you know, the worst of the worst.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But one thing that Ersay did and through his life
which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
be boring.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
He was not born.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars, if
you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
unexpected with.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
With jim Irsay, and he kept showing your toes.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
you going to remember about jim.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Irsay, my favorite memory of jim Irsay.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is just a couple of years ago, and I still
can't believe he did it. It's a high school musical,
if you will, Jim irsay fired Remember this, this was
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He fired Frank Wright.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The Colts were three five and one at the time,
so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
records average, So ersay he got to bug up his took.
He fires Frank Wright and then hired the guy from TV.
He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played for the Colts,
(07:11):
but he was a television analyst at ESPN as the
interim head coach, and so this gave all radio gas
bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had no coaching experience
unless you consider like the high school level at some
Christian academy in Georgia to be on the level with
(07:34):
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So he had not been a professional coach at any level.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And I remember still doing monologues about that and what
is Ursay doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Mersay. I
remember Bill Cower, he was cowering. He was so upset
Bill Kauer and he's like, it's a disgrace to the
coaching profession.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Ever, it was up at arm he should the NFL
force ersa to sell the cold. He's lost his marbles,
and Jim Irsay doubled down. He doubled I say he
was glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did not
have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't learned
the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
(08:18):
I thought that was a great line. I thought that
was a wonderful line by Jimmerson. Jimmersay was so burned
out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
(08:39):
every game. I know the one game that stands out
from that period where they played the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It was a Saturday game.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
They dow thirty three nothingly biggest blown lead.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Of all time. But this is not about that.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
This is about Jim irsay, and so again my top
memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
his football team, and he said he was glad that
the coach had no experience.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I thought that was great.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Now page two. So can you sum up the rather
quirky side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school
coach is not quirky enough, so for me, the Jim
Mersey thing, I guess you can describe it as toy story.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Like ers. He was like just a kid that had
a lot of money and he inherited it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He was born on third base, a silver spoon kid
and all that he won the genetic lottery. His father
made the money for the family. He inherited it, and
he enjoyed himself. He was in a band, the Jim
Mersey Band. He would celebrate Colts wins by playing with
the band there and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle.
He had a passion for collecting random memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He loved music in particular.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
I don't know if it it was a mala riddle.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
We used it for something on the show.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But he purchased Elton John's piano at auction, paid almost
a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton John.
And he had his own personal rich guy museum. As
Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually reading
about this. He's got over five hundred items, including we
(10:27):
mentioned that the Elton John. He's got some other classic
guitars from famous musicians that have gone by your years
gone by.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
In fact, there was some.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Some Middle Eastern oil baron that offered Jim Mersey a
billion dollars, over a billion.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
thing about Ersay and this this story used to pop
up just about every training camp when the Colts would
go to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who
has died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay,
but Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality
(11:16):
to him that he he was known for handing out
wadds of one bills at training camp and you just.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Walking around here. I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing
money at you peasants. Here's some some money.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
and and then he would give the winner like he'd
buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
trips to games.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean, and this is like he'd do this on
the regular.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So all right, now, final point, So now that we've
discussed all that, there is the fact that life goes
on to address and that the Colts will be playing
football coming up in a few months and they will
not have Jim Merces the owner. So where does Jim
merces death leave the Colts franchise going forward?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
And the answer to that is, young Blood.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
This is all through a state planning, through that kind
of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I have no idea who that is, but she is
projected to be the day to day operator of.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The Colts football ops in the wake of the death
of her father. She's forty four years old and she's
going to actually share the Colts with her sisters, So
the three ladies will all share the team. What could
possibly go wrong. That'll be a smooth operation. Absolutely, there'll
(12:55):
be no fighting at all. So anyway, she and her
sisters will be the become the youngest owners in the
NFL by more than a decade, so they've got youth
on their side.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Youth be served here.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I keep in mind that even though Ersa had the
estate planning, there's still gonna be lawyers that are going
to be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and
they're gonna go through all the documents and all that
make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
(13:31):
I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
I believe this woman, Carly Ursa Gordon, will become at
least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
because of inheritance.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Right because I know the Lions.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals
are being run but the owner hasn't passed away. But
the Bengals are also being run. So I guess it's five.
The Seahawks are going to be sold. Paul Allen died
and his sister has been running the team. So anyway,
jim Irsay, our thoughts on him. It is the Ben
(14:14):
Mallor Show. You want to comment on that. We'll get
back to the NBA playoff game, which was a thriller
in Midtown Manhattan as the stage, the lights bright, and
it was a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Of drama there.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
As the Indiana Pacers are three wins away from the
NBA Finals. Three more wins and they're in the NBA Finals,
and all those New York celebrity a holes very upset.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
They were not happy campus.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So we're not done talking about jim Irsay at all.
Is it true that jim Ersay in many ways is
responsible for a city losing an NFL team?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And I'm not talking about Baltimore. That's a different conversation.
But we'll get to that and we will do it next.

mallor if you'd like. Terry also points out Terry in
(21:03):
England that he is out walking his dog as he's
listening there, and the dog does not look very happy. Terry,
your dog looks annoyed that you're taking a photo of
the dog. The dog would not like the photo. Take
it please. Ozzie Was points out that Ben, you need
to tell Bill it's afternoon drive in wheat worn Australia.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
He says, hello from Australia. Well, here we go.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
This is Loraina doing an impersonation for Ozzi was. Now
Ozzy Was is famous on the show for a couple
of reasons.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I won kangaroos, I do well.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, no, Ozzie was actually, while listening to our show,
was driving on a deserted, dusty road in Australia and
hit a kangaroo or a kangaroo didn't No, no, the kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Destroyed his car. I don't think he hit it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The kangaroo like, he'll have to tell me the story again,
I forget. But he showed me photos of it, Like
the kangaroo. They're very violent, those little buggers. And so
there's that. And then he also bought that satellite internet.
So he's he's so far off the grid in that
part of Australia that he can't actually listen to the
show because he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Get any radio or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So he bought an elon Musk satellite thing so he
could hear the show, which is he's out in Western Australia,
so the westernest most state in Australia.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
He's got the Indian Ocean to the north and to
the west. He's got the Southern Ocean to the south,
and the Northern Territory.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Blind Scott?
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Yeah, you know, Hey, Charlie Wisconsin, you see this guy
as he was. He has nothing to offer to the show,
but he puts off his image like he's a real
tough guy, and he's probably not a tough guy at all.
You need to put off some type of image where
you can build your ego up so people think you're
somebody that you're not. Like you might be like a
(25:22):
fabio at school or something. I don't know, you captain
of the football team. Maybe your family were drug runners
from Medeen and Columbia or something.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Okay, all right, hold on, Scott, all right, So Charlie,
he wants you to make up some bull crap story
about your life.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
Well, I do have a personal story.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh you do.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
All right, it's story time with Charlie in Wisconsin. Cheesehead
Charlie in Wisconsin. Let me guess back in the old days,
you did a DNA test and you're like a distant
relative of Hercules.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
No, no, nope, not at all. Now I don't want
to tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Oh come on, you can't. You can't tease like that
and not tell me what's your story.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
It's not it's not age appropriate.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh it's not. Okay, but you're I mean.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
I can I can still talk about it. If you want,
but I don't know if Charlie from Dallas would.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh, we don't want to get hold on? Maybe let
me put you on hold on, let me let me
put Charlie in Dallas. Back on. Charlie to cover his ears. Charlie,
can that's what I was gonna do. You're reading my mind, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Can you can you cover your Can you put your
fingers in your ear for like two minutes?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Charlie and Dallas?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Sure, okay, all right, you promise right, don't don't lie
to me.
Speaker 1 (26:50):

five months ago, a lot of going on in China.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And I'll tell you about Oh is that is that?
Speaker 5 (29:48):

Mhmm.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I like it. That was we're seeing it. What's gonna
be on the ring? It's you know, he's trying to
he's trying to add some spice to it. He's trying
to dress it up a little bit.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
But then the idea is number one. Back at we
make the number one out of the bag at the
surface of the moon and then on the outside of
the moon.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I like that. That's good.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
See Lorrainer, this guy makes high end jewelry. Mister you know,

I know Lorrain is excited to get her ring.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And Coop and we're all we're all fired up, and
these will be very valuable because there's not a lot
of malor merch that's out there there. There has been
some whispers that we might have some malor merch like
T shirts this summer or something like that, but nothing's
happened yet.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
So but thank you, mister. I gotta go, but thank you.
Keep me posted on that, mister irigation.
Speaker 2 (31:48):

Speaker 1 (31:54):
These are like high end, high end, like super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, pretty absolutely seriously like they's super Bowl quality rings.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's nuts and he's he's he was very kind, mister
Rigation is very generous.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Like he sent a bunch of the fans of the show,
like the super fans.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is years ago, but he sent them rings.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's the famous story that weed Man Hippie got one
of these rings in Miami and then he's such a pig.
I love you, weed Man, but he he lost it
because he was in a pile of rubbish and he lost.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It when he got evicted from his place.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
So anyway, well, this Jim Irsay story passed away and
I saw this and I'd forgotten about it. But it's
pretty wild story. Jim Irsay as the Colts owner. This
goes back man almost twenty years. Almost twenty years Jim
Irsay blocked a radio legend from buying a big chunk
(32:56):
of the Saint Louis Rams. And the belief is if
that radio legend had bought the Saint Louis Rams, the
Rams would still be in Saint Louis, and that who
knows what would have happened to LA. Maybe the Raiders
would be in LA now. Obviously the Chargers ended up
in Los Angeles. But the greatest talk show host of
(33:16):
all time, Rush Limbaugh, who we broadcast from Russia's old
studio in LA.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
But Rush Limbaugh has been.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Dead for a while, but he was part of a
group to buy the Saint Louis Rams. This goes back
twenty eight twenty nine, right around there, and Jim Ersay
came out and.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Bashed Rush Limbaugh very publicly. Was upset.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Limbaugh had briefly worked as an NFL commentator on Monday
Night Football. He had taken some shots at Donovan McNabb.
It was criticized for that, and so Ursa said, no,
I would not even consider voting for Limbaugh as.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
An NFL owner.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
And then a couple of years after that, the Rams
left Saint Louis and now they're back in LA And
there is a dimension in the multiverse where Jim Mersay
did not block Rush Limbaugh and the NFL owners allowed
him to buy the team, and then he ended up
keeping the team passed away anyway, but he's Missouri guy
(34:20):
Limbaugh and would have kept the team there in Saint
Louis in the family. Anyway, It is interesting the NFL,
the amount of people that wanted and didn't get NFL
like Donald Trump wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills, right
and then he he didn't get it, and then he
went on to become president twice. Limbaugh wanted the Rams,
(34:43):
didn't get it, and you know, went on King of
Talk Radio and all that. But anyway, it is the
Ben Maller Show. We got Mallard the Third Degree coming up.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Randy Jones from DJ Spin, Aatrick in San Diego, Mozzarella
Sticks and marinera Sauce from Slim Tim Sounds good?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
That chief said, all right, Lorena, do you have an answer? Lorena,
I'm gonna go with DJ Diesel aka Shaquille O'Neal. Fortunately
it's Larry Legend. You know who that is? Is it
the Bird? Yeah? You got it right, Larry Bird, the
hick from French leg We are this is one big
(38:32):
Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
Trey Hendrickson. Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yes, if he gives back more money.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Right, I think he knows by now that the Bengals
are a franchise owned The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So,
uh yeah, they're not. They've they've already decided if they
were gonna pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right,
They've decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're
not going to pay him, and it's just a matter
of when he's going to either show up or if
(39:12):
he doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I don't see.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, So
it doesn't matter next.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
rushing list. Ben, how far up the list do you
think he can go?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, he's nineteenth right now.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You figure he's got at least a year or two
where he's still really really good.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
So and I thought he was done last year. To
be a total full disclosure.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
of decline in Tennessee. I say he can based on
the math on this, he can finish in the around
the top ten, right if he has two more big
years and then he keeps playing a couple more year
after that next.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
got bored and complacent on the court. Ben, Is this
a fair analysis.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, it's a dumb analysis. The Celtics. They didn't get complacent.
It was a flaw in the system. They were a
one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
twenty five out of one hundred three point shots over
three games.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
all right? How did we do a coup? You passed
this edition? That is a wait. Put it on the
I want at the buzzer. I wanted the buzzer arena.
I got the win, I won it.
Ding dong. It's our numb par two.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Our number two is ready for you as we are together.
That's the ticket scorching hot Malard monologue upcoming and a
tribute a eulogy if you will, as the sporting world
losing one of the more interesting characters in my life.
Rest in peace to Jim Ersay. The Malor eulogy here.
(00:27):
How are you going to remember the life and.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Times of Jim Irsay.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Who has been the acting owner of the Colts since
nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
That's a long run.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Can you sum up Jim Mersey's quirky side as an
NFL owner? There are many stories about that and what
happens going forward. Life goes on.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's the one constant, right, Life goes on.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So where does jim Irsay's death leave the Indianapolis Colts
franchise going forward? We'll talk about all of that and
more right now and here it is our number two
heading to the horseshoe in the sky well gone. In
the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We are in the air eywhere shoulder to shoulder as
we see flying chickens in the barnyard coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and noisily
powerful microphones of fs are emminating live from the down the.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Touchdown in the back of the.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
End zone as we are emanating from the Fox Sports
Radio studios as approved by the Deacon and mister Irrigation
as they listened to the show there in Houston. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part
by ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
(01:56):
been helping customers find the right tires for how what and.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
They drive ship fast and free.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Which is very important for Ferg Dog and Alf backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, Tire act dot Com the way the
tire buying show.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So we'll change it up.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Degger to the
to the Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers
to the next. It was magical, absolutely, But our lead
this hour is from the NFL. Some some sad news
(02:39):
to share. I assume you've heard this by now, but
maybe not. Jim Ersay, very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay,
someone that we've talked about a lot over the years.
The longtime owner of the Indianapolis Colts is dead.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The team announced that on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He was sixty five and Ersay died, they said the
team peacefully in his sleep.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They claimed.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
on the social media.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That highlighted his love of the game and all that.
Of course, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
owners in the NFL and the history of the league.
(03:46):
At that time, he's like, hey, here's the Colts.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You congratulations. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Ersay was not not supposedly in poor health recently, which
has led to more Internet speculation.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
In fact, he.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Posted on social media early in the day on Wednesday.
His last post was good wishes to the indian Annipacers
that turned out to be the last one before his
untimely death. Again, no cause of death was announced. A
lot of Internet investigators believe they have the answer. Certainly
(04:20):
if you followed Ersay, you know there's some some skeletons there, unfortunately,
but Ersay very vocal about that, and he'd been open
about the In fact, he's had issues with alcohol and
prescription drugs, and he's been in and out of rehab,
so many people are the success rate of rehab is
not not particularly great, but he's had a couple of
(04:41):
near fatal overdoses. Of people kind of said, well, this
is what happened, but until they announced it, it's it's
all just just chatter. But let's get to the the
point of this as we discuss and the question when
when someone who is a public.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Figure, who we have.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Talked about and is out there in the spotlight. So,
how are you going to remember the life and times
of Jim Irsay as the owner of the Colts? Knowing
that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but what
are you going to remember and how are you going
to remember Jim Irsay? So I have high school musical
toy story and young Blood and will combine all these
(05:23):
things together and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay
through the proper eulogy. But the first thought I have,
number one, being behind these microphones, It's hard to believe
that I've been doing my job as long as Ersa
has been the owner of the actual head owner of
(05:44):
the Colts. It's been a while, and jim Irsay has
been one of the characters in Sport For better or worse.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Jim Irsay is a character can we all agree on that?
Can everyone agree on that?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
He's whimsical, he's playful, he's got an edge to him.
Is someone that some people out there to think he's,
you know, the worst of the worst.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But one thing that Ersay did and through his life
which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
be boring.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
He was not born.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars, if
you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
unexpected with.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
With jim Irsay, and he kept showing your toes.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
you going to remember about jim.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Irsay, my favorite memory of jim Irsay.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is just a couple of years ago, and I still
can't believe he did it. It's a high school musical,
if you will, Jim irsay fired Remember this, this was
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He fired Frank Wright.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The Colts were three five and one at the time,
so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
records average, So ersay he got to bug up his took.
He fires Frank Wright and then hired the guy from TV.
He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played for the Colts,
(07:11):
but he was a television analyst at ESPN as the
interim head coach, and so this gave all radio gas
bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had no coaching experience
unless you consider like the high school level at some
Christian academy in Georgia to be on the level with
(07:34):
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So he had not been a professional coach at any level.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And I remember still doing monologues about that and what
is Ursay doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Mersay. I
remember Bill Cower, he was cowering. He was so upset
Bill Kauer and he's like, it's a disgrace to the
coaching profession.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Ever, it was up at arm he should the NFL
force ersa to sell the cold. He's lost his marbles,
and Jim Irsay doubled down. He doubled I say he
was glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did not
have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't learned
the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
(08:18):
I thought that was a great line. I thought that
was a wonderful line by Jimmerson. Jimmersay was so burned
out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
(08:39):
every game. I know the one game that stands out
from that period where they played the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It was a Saturday game.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
They dow thirty three nothingly biggest blown lead.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Of all time. But this is not about that.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
This is about Jim irsay, and so again my top
memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
his football team, and he said he was glad that
the coach had no experience.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I thought that was great.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Now page two. So can you sum up the rather
quirky side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school
coach is not quirky enough, so for me, the Jim
Mersey thing, I guess you can describe it as toy story.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Like ers. He was like just a kid that had
a lot of money and he inherited it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He was born on third base, a silver spoon kid
and all that he won the genetic lottery. His father
made the money for the family. He inherited it, and
he enjoyed himself. He was in a band, the Jim
Mersey Band. He would celebrate Colts wins by playing with
the band there and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle.
He had a passion for collecting random memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He loved music in particular.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
I don't know if it it was a mala riddle.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
We used it for something on the show.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But he purchased Elton John's piano at auction, paid almost
a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton John.
And he had his own personal rich guy museum. As
Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually reading
about this. He's got over five hundred items, including we
(10:27):
mentioned that the Elton John. He's got some other classic
guitars from famous musicians that have gone by your years
gone by.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
In fact, there was some.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Some Middle Eastern oil baron that offered Jim Mersey a
billion dollars, over a billion.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
thing about Ersay and this this story used to pop
up just about every training camp when the Colts would
go to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who
has died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay,
but Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality
(11:16):
to him that he he was known for handing out
wadds of one bills at training camp and you just.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Walking around here. I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing
money at you peasants. Here's some some money.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
and and then he would give the winner like he'd
buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
trips to games.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean, and this is like he'd do this on
the regular.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So all right, now, final point, So now that we've
discussed all that, there is the fact that life goes
on to address and that the Colts will be playing
football coming up in a few months and they will
not have Jim Merces the owner. So where does Jim
merces death leave the Colts franchise going forward?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
And the answer to that is, young Blood.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
This is all through a state planning, through that kind
of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I have no idea who that is, but she is
projected to be the day to day operator of.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The Colts football ops in the wake of the death
of her father. She's forty four years old and she's
going to actually share the Colts with her sisters, So
the three ladies will all share the team. What could
possibly go wrong. That'll be a smooth operation. Absolutely, there'll
(12:55):
be no fighting at all. So anyway, she and her
sisters will be the become the youngest owners in the
NFL by more than a decade, so they've got youth
on their side.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Youth be served here.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I keep in mind that even though Ersa had the
estate planning, there's still gonna be lawyers that are going
to be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and
they're gonna go through all the documents and all that
make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
(13:31):
I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
I believe this woman, Carly Ursa Gordon, will become at
least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
because of inheritance.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Right because I know the Lions.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals
are being run but the owner hasn't passed away. But
the Bengals are also being run. So I guess it's five.
The Seahawks are going to be sold. Paul Allen died
and his sister has been running the team. So anyway,
jim Irsay, our thoughts on him. It is the Ben
(14:14):
Mallor Show. You want to comment on that. We'll get
back to the NBA playoff game, which was a thriller
in Midtown Manhattan as the stage, the lights bright, and
it was a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Of drama there.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
As the Indiana Pacers are three wins away from the
NBA Finals. Three more wins and they're in the NBA Finals,
and all those New York celebrity a holes very upset.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
They were not happy campus.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So we're not done talking about jim Irsay at all.
Is it true that jim Ersay in many ways is
responsible for a city losing an NFL team?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And I'm not talking about Baltimore. That's a different conversation.
But we'll get to that and we will do it next.

They said you can't even go watch.
Speaker 2 (19:18):

You can send a message in on X at ben
mallor if you'd like. Terry also points out Terry in
(21:03):
England that he is out walking his dog as he's
listening there, and the dog does not look very happy. Terry,
your dog looks annoyed that you're taking a photo of
the dog. The dog would not like the photo. Take
it please. Ozzie Was points out that Ben, you need
to tell Bill it's afternoon drive in wheat worn Australia.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
He says, hello from Australia. Well, here we go.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
This is Loraina doing an impersonation for Ozzi was. Now
Ozzy Was is famous on the show for a couple
of reasons.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I won kangaroos, I do well.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, no, Ozzie was actually, while listening to our show,
was driving on a deserted, dusty road in Australia and
hit a kangaroo or a kangaroo didn't No, no, the kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Destroyed his car. I don't think he hit it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
The kangaroo like, he'll have to tell me the story again,
I forget. But he showed me photos of it, Like
the kangaroo. They're very violent, those little buggers. And so
there's that. And then he also bought that satellite internet.
So he's he's so far off the grid in that
part of Australia that he can't actually listen to the
show because he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Get any radio or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So he bought an elon Musk satellite thing so he
could hear the show, which is he's out in Western Australia,
so the westernest most state in Australia.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
He's got the Indian Ocean to the north and to
the west. He's got the Southern Ocean to the south,
and the Northern Territory.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
To the northeast. Eh, there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:44):

You also work for the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
No, okay, Coop, I'm realizing, Coop, this was.

A bad idea. I thought this would be a great idea.
I thought we'd get some.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Fire like hollering James and blind Scott or one of
those kind of deal.

But no, sounded more like a blind date.
Speaker 2 (24:44):

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Blind Scott, can you give advice to Charlie in Wisconsin
to dress up the show here?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Blind Scott?
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Yeah, you know, Hey, Charlie Wisconsin, you see this guy
as he was. He has nothing to offer to the show,
but he puts off his image like he's a real
tough guy, and he's probably not a tough guy at all.
You need to put off some type of image where
you can build your ego up so people think you're
somebody that you're not. Like you might be like a
(25:22):
fabio at school or something. I don't know, you captain
of the football team. Maybe your family were drug runners
from Medeen and Columbia or something.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
You know.

Okay, all right, hold on, Scott, all right, So Charlie,

Oh come on, you can't. You can't tease like that

Thank you.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
You are the greatest entertainer on the air, and it

Oh you have okay? Yeah, And and I apologize to you.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
I mean when I'm out there using my shovels digging
that hole.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Six inch pipe in the ground and an eight inch
pipe in the.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Ground, I think about how am I going to design
this ring? And we talked about it, I don't know,
five months ago, a lot of going on in China.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And I'll tell you about Oh is that is that?
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Is that the little idea? I mean, it looked cool. Yeah,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, the ring you sent me looked pretty nice. Yeah,
the rings design that you you sent was was pretty cool.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
This is my idea for the next one. Okay, number
one after midnight.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
Mhmm.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I like it. That was we're seeing it. What's gonna
be on the ring? It's you know, he's trying to
he's trying to add some spice to it. He's trying
to dress it up a little bit.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
But then the idea is number one. Back at we
make the number one out of the bag at the
surface of the moon and then on the outside of
the moon.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I like that. That's good.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
See Lorrainer, this guy makes high end jewelry. Mister you know,

the king of irrigation in Houston. But he also does
this this joy's he's uh yeah, what with Ben?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I know Lorrain is excited to get her ring.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And Coop and we're all we're all fired up, and
these will be very valuable because there's not a lot
of malor merch that's out there there. There has been
some whispers that we might have some malor merch like
T shirts this summer or something like that, but nothing's
happened yet.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
So but thank you, mister. I gotta go, but thank you.
Keep me posted on that, mister irigation.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
The the ring Daddy, the ring Daddy. And these are
not like little crappy rings, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
These are like high end, high end, like super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, pretty absolutely seriously like they's super Bowl quality rings.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's nuts and he's he's he was very kind, mister
Rigation is very generous.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Like he sent a bunch of the fans of the show,
like the super fans.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is years ago, but he sent them rings.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's the famous story that weed Man Hippie got one
of these rings in Miami and then he's such a pig.
I love you, weed Man, but he he lost it
because he was in a pile of rubbish and he lost.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It when he got evicted from his place.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
So anyway, well, this Jim Irsay story passed away and
I saw this and I'd forgotten about it. But it's
pretty wild story. Jim Irsay as the Colts owner. This
goes back man almost twenty years. Almost twenty years Jim
Irsay blocked a radio legend from buying a big chunk
(32:56):
of the Saint Louis Rams. And the belief is if
that radio legend had bought the Saint Louis Rams, the
Rams would still be in Saint Louis, and that who
knows what would have happened to LA. Maybe the Raiders
would be in LA now. Obviously the Chargers ended up
in Los Angeles. But the greatest talk show host of
(33:16):
all time, Rush Limbaugh, who we broadcast from Russia's old
studio in LA.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
But Rush Limbaugh has been.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Dead for a while, but he was part of a
group to buy the Saint Louis Rams. This goes back
twenty eight twenty nine, right around there, and Jim Ersay
came out and.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Bashed Rush Limbaugh very publicly. Was upset.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Limbaugh had briefly worked as an NFL commentator on Monday
Night Football. He had taken some shots at Donovan McNabb.
It was criticized for that, and so Ursa said, no,
I would not even consider voting for Limbaugh as.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
An NFL owner.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
And then a couple of years after that, the Rams
left Saint Louis and now they're back in LA And
there is a dimension in the multiverse where Jim Mersay
did not block Rush Limbaugh and the NFL owners allowed
him to buy the team, and then he ended up
keeping the team passed away anyway, but he's Missouri guy
(34:20):
Limbaugh and would have kept the team there in Saint
Louis in the family. Anyway, It is interesting the NFL,
the amount of people that wanted and didn't get NFL
like Donald Trump wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills, right
and then he he didn't get it, and then he
went on to become president twice. Limbaugh wanted the Rams,
(34:43):
didn't get it, and you know, went on King of
Talk Radio and all that. But anyway, it is the
Ben Maller Show. We got Mallard the Third Degree coming up.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Five consecutive years. That's a good run. Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Don't disagree with me, all right. So that's the question.
What is the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer?

Alien Oh Pliner says mister Moose from Maine. Blow me up,
Rocky Roberto. Yeah, the great mister Moose. There's a legend

Montana guessed by King Rory.
Speaker 1 (37:17):

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Late Night, Late Night drug tester says you are Maggie Q,
who is forty six today. Turk Wendell and his licorice
from Donkey Sausage Age down Rich in Vegas says the
answer is Tom needenfewer, the big tub of Goo.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Need Needing fewer, my ass. What else do we have?
Mark Landsberger from Slow Dive, Moneyball, Maller from our buddy
barbecuing Lynn in the Pacific Northwest, Dave Cowens guests by
Rob in Minnesota? All right? Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Randy Jones from DJ Spin, Aatrick in San Diego, Mozzarella
Sticks and marinera Sauce from Slim Tim Sounds good?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
That chief said, all right, Lorena, do you have an answer? Lorena,
I'm gonna go with DJ Diesel aka Shaquille O'Neal. Fortunately
it's Larry Legend. You know who that is? Is it
the Bird? Yeah? You got it right, Larry Bird, the
hick from French leg We are this is one big
(38:32):
Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
Trey Hendrickson. Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yes, if he gives back more money.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Right, I think he knows by now that the Bengals
are a franchise owned The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So,
uh yeah, they're not. They've they've already decided if they
were gonna pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right,
They've decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're
not going to pay him, and it's just a matter
of when he's going to either show up or if
(39:12):
he doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I don't see.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, So
it doesn't matter next.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
rushing list. Ben, how far up the list do you
think he can go?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, he's nineteenth right now.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
You figure he's got at least a year or two
where he's still really really good.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
So and I thought he was done last year. To
be a total full disclosure.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
of decline in Tennessee. I say he can based on
the math on this, he can finish in the around
the top ten, right if he has two more big
years and then he keeps playing a couple more year
after that next.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
got bored and complacent on the court. Ben, Is this
a fair analysis.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, it's a dumb analysis. The Celtics. They didn't get complacent.
It was a flaw in the system. They were a
one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
twenty five out of one hundred three point shots over
three games.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
all right? How did we do a coup? You passed
this edition? That is a wait. Put it on the
I want at the buzzer. I wanted the buzzer arena.
I got the win, I won it.
