Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. Former NFL player
RG three, now a gasbag and blowheart, says that NFL
players believe that referees rooting interest are causing bad calls.
What does this say about the players in the NFL?
(00:22):
Also decode the messaging sent from DeVante Adams in his
latest spiel, and should Bengals coach Zach Taylor have a
talk with Jamar Chase about his priorities. We'll talk about
all that and more right now here. It is our
number two. Let the drama rain down. Well, come in
(00:47):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we flock together
and hudder up, and we do not stop belly aching
at all, coast to coast, port of the border and
beyond on the vast and excessively powerful microphones of fsr

this hour, coming from the Deep State, and we'll get
back to the Thursday night NFL game. A win for
the Steelers and a cover by the way, thank you
very much. Mike Common does it again at home, small
point spread late touchdown by Pittsburgh and they get the w.
There if you're a gambling type and you've bet on Pittsburgh.
(01:53):
But our headline is from the NFL. But it's a
former NFL player who is tossing around some rathers serious
accusations against the Zebras for being the D word dirty dirty,
dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty. Did you
see this? Yeah, this is a danger zone story. You
didn't see this? Bad job by you? All right, maybe
(02:16):
you missed it. Robert Griffin, IID a failed NFL quarterback,
was a total stud at Baylor, and now he's a
blowheart on television. He has a wild theory based on
what he claims players are telling him now. RG three
said that the players in the NFL today believe that
(02:38):
one of the reasons the officiating is terrible is because
of local bias and rooting interest influencing how games are called. Say,
what does that perk your interest in all That's kind
of a sexy story, right, all right, So here's the
quote from RG three. He said, quote, these guys are
(03:00):
from places, they have favorite teams. How do you assess
that with a referee who has a flag in his
pocket and can make calls that can change the outcome
of a game based off of where he's from, or
who his favorite team was, or who he rooted for
when he was a kid. Close quote. So the implication
(03:23):
is rather obvious here that an official who grew up
a Green Bay Packer fan is going to give the
benefit of the doubt to the Green Bay Packers. Now,
RG three said, it also cuts both ways that occasionally
somebody who grew up a Packer fan will not call
a penalty on the Packers because they don't want to
(03:45):
be seen as having a bias towards the Packers, which,
as a result, will thus be a bias against the Packers.
All right, So let us discuss the question as you.
As I just gave you the quote. RG three is
saying that NFL players believe the referees have a rooting
interest which is causing bad officiated games. What does this
(04:10):
say about the players? What does this say about the referees.
So I've got four h four, trifecta and spoiler, and
we're gonna lock all of these things together and flag
us up, just like at the Breeders' Cup, which will
be coming up here today and tomorrow. So number one,
(04:38):
my initial take was a chuckle. I'm not gonna lie.
When when I saw this story and it caught my attention,
it was on my radar, I said, Oh, come on,
these NFL players are so paranoid. They're on that shuttle
service to the nuthouse right where they live in Goofy's Playhouse.
Are they sneaking around to the back of Goofy's Playhouse?
(04:58):
Are they are cuckoo for cocoa puffs? Is that where
they are? But then I paused for a second. I
took a deep breath, and I actually in that little
cartoon bubble over my head, I like contemplated the situation.
And I gotta tell you, maybe I'm Looney Tunes too,
but I kind of see what he's saying. It's not
(05:20):
as far fetched as you may think. And I'll tell
you why. It's the four oh four And I'm not
talking about the area code of Atlanta. We're talking about
the four oh four as in the error code. You
ever type something wrong in on the Internet and four
oh four comes up. It's human error, and it's part
of everything. It's part of everything. The typical failure rate.
(05:43):
I've read a study on this couple of years ago.
The typical failure rate among humans for common work practices.
The range is anywhere from ten to thirty mistakes per
one hundred opportunities. So let's extrapolate that. That means for
every one hundred calls made by an official in an
(06:05):
NFL game, you are going to have anywhere from ten
to thirty blown calls. But then you add on to
that personal bias. Everyone's got personal bias. This it's called
life experience, Right's who you grew up with, who you're around,
How your thoughts on the world are shaped by the
people around you. If you grew up with certain people
(06:26):
who are are racist, you're racist. If you grow with
people that are anti Semitic, you're probably anisymtic. That's just
the way we're shaped by how our environment. Is not
to go too deep, because I mean, we're just doing
overnight radio. But the other issue with the officiating is
it is subjective versus objective. Subjective are beliefs and objective
(06:49):
is a measurable fact, and most calls are subjective. It's
like something you believe is a penalty, but it can
go either direction. And also, never forget that we have
seen crooked officials. I interviewed one on my podcast a
couple of years ago, Tim Donaghy, Who's the gold standard
(07:11):
example a of a crooked official. Now he was doing
it for gambling reasons, but the point is still the same,
so you can factor that in. And I don't believe
it's as nuts as I originally thought when I first
saw the headline. It makes sense. And the other issue
(07:32):
here is just bad leadership by the NFL and the
fact that the NFL, they're a multi billion dollar conglomerate.
They don't give a crap. If the NFL gave a crap,
the officiating would be better. They don't because ultimately it's
good for business. There's controversy, it gets people talking about it,
Nobody stops watching because of the bad officiating. It just
(07:53):
raises people's blood pressure, and ultimately you're still gonna watch anyway,
So who the hell cares?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
All?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Pace two headline Lost Wages Nevada, where Davante Adams has
given a State of the Union address on the writers
coaching change. Now give you a little snippet here. Adams
told reporters that the change that happened, the whacking, the
(08:20):
poll axing of Josh McDaniels and the GM. There the
change of some variety was needed. I'll give you a
little snippet of the quote. He said, quote one way
or the other. It was time for some sort of change,
just to bring a little juice in and revitalize the
team a little bit. He said, close quote. So let's
(08:43):
decode what do you say? Let's decode the message said
in the State of the Union addressed by Davante Adams.
So the way I interpreted this, Adams hit the trifecta
this week. Did he hit the tri effactor because Josh
McDaniels gone, GM, gone quarterback benched. It was like the
(09:08):
Gong Show for the Raiders. And whether or not he
will admit it, he probably won't. One of the main
reasons that Josh McDaniels is no longer coaching the Raiders
is because of Davonte Adams. Davontae Adams coach killer, coach killer.
Let me give him my evidence. I went back to
(09:28):
the archives. I keep my notes, my bullet points on
these monologues. On September twenty seventh, Davontae Adams said the following,
we're not doing things the right way to establish a
winning culture. Close quote. That was a direct torpedo right
into the schnazzola of Josh McDaniels. Your highest paid wide receiver,
(09:54):
your most dynamic offensive player, your big gohuna, the big
ragou DeVante Adams saying, we're a bunch of losers to
the culture. That culture's coaching cultures, the GM that's who
supposedly builds the culture. And he said, we have to
we don't have a winning culture. We're not doing that,
(10:15):
And essentially a month later, the guillotine dropped for the Raiders.
All right, Finally a headline, a headline from Cincinnati where
Jamar Chase revealed to reporters that if he were to
score a touchdown in Sunday Night Football against the Bill's Mafia,
(10:36):
Jamar Chase said he would recreate one of the iconic
NFL touchdown celebrations on one condition. That condition, Chad Johnson,
Bengal Icon has to pay the fine. That's the condition, right,
Chad Johnson would need to pay a finality celebration. If
(10:58):
you know Ocho Sinko, he every celebration. My favorite was
the river dance that he used to do. I love
the river dance. But this was pretty good too, where
he scored a touchdown and then went over and manned
the television camera. You know, the big fifty thousand dollars
one hundred thousand dollars camera on those big bulky cameras
(11:18):
that they use on these NFL broadcasts. So he went
over there and man the cameras. It was great, it's funny.
He got fine for it. Well, O Choe Sinko has
confirmed that he will pay up. So it's on like
Donkey Kong. But there's always the party pooper out there.
And I've been reading some people saying the Devil's advocate argument,
this is not good for the Bengals, this is not
(11:40):
good for Cincinnati, that somebody should have a talk with
Jamar Chase that these are shenanigans and it's unbecoming that
this is an distraction as Cincinnati gets ready to play Buffalo.
So I wanted to address that part of it should
Bengals coach Zach Taylor have a talk, talk, talk talk
with Jamar Chase about his priorities. And I am shaking
(12:06):
my head. No, I am shaking my head no on this.
I'll tell you why Jamar Chase is plotting for the
end zone. If you do the arithmetic and you use
the malordmath, that is a net positive for Cincinnati. Now,
my only problem is not that he's planning on scoring
a touchdown. My only problem is the promotion. What are
(12:29):
you doing? This is a spoiler alert. This is a
spoiler alert. It would have been much more powerful and
meaningful had these two knuckleheads done this behind closed doors
and then unbeknownst to anyone. Almost organic. So it seems
(12:52):
Jamar Chase honored o Cho sinking. But by telling everyone
what you're planning on doing, it takes away the rasmatas.
It does. Maybe it's just me, but it takes away
the rasmatas it is the Ben mal Show. Now, one
thing that still has the rasthmataz is the NFL. Pick
them and we're gonna have some fun with that. Right
(13:14):
now is week nine in the NFL, And strike up

Midnight Walker from Syracuse writes, and he says reddler area
code four oh four. McDaniels coach the Raiders, but not anymore.
(19:08):
The coach killer said that the culture is all wrong,
and one month later McDaniels is gone. That's pretty good.
I like that. I liked that. Brianna, who may or
may not be employed by the company, says there's a
there's a Spurs problem. Oh that's oh, she's a Suns fan.
That's right. A very flawed choice of an NBA team, there,
(19:31):
for sure. Andy the Comic Book Guy writes in the
Great Proprietor of Comics. He says the Bungles players have
been chirping all week. Historically, Josh Allen's teams respond to
crap like that, Bungles going down. Phil's Mafia. Pretty confident,
Pretty confident. You might want a massage Josh Allen's aching shoulder.
(19:55):
Oh my aching shoulder. It's so much yet, all right,
let's go before let's say hello to pig farm trucker. Hello,
pig Farm trucker.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Hey man, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm doing better than the pigs that are in your truck.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yes, I just I want to let you know that
yesterday I was in the dentist chair for two hours
getting a root canal. Yeah, but that that was less
painful than listening to Finley's updates. I go to bed
at eight o'clock at night, I wake up. All I
(20:39):
want to know is is did my Celtic t win
NBA updates?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Right?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
He sailed to mention that says the Celtics dropped one
hundred and fifty five on Indiana. I know Shawing the
hood guy, Sorry Shawn the hood guy, but you know what,
come on, Philly? Does he know that the Marconi winning
sports is on the air listening?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I know, I've tried to explain to these guys, but
they don't seem to understand. They like they they're so
like they always give like the Laker and Clipper scores,
and I'm like, you know, you've got to branch out here,
like there's there's other places. The Celtics. That's a big deal.
That was. And plus, even if it wasn't a big
deal to you, one hundred and fifty five points. When
(21:17):
a team scores one hundred and fifty five points in
a regulation NBA game that matters, that's insane. And uh
and I had to bring it up, as you heard,
I had to bring it up Pig Farmer or he
wouldn't even gotten mentioned on the show. Shade.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, all right, I'd love to take the oath.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh you want, Oh I listen, I was. I love
doing the oath. We'll do the oath right now. This

No, then we that's flyover so go in.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
San Diego to Poughkeepsie to Des Moines.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah. And one thing I've always tried to do since
I've worked here is I've tried to, you know, try
to be you know, bounced. Obviously. I like teams in
l A, and I do talk about when there's stories, though,
but I don't go out of my way to talk
about teams.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
In LA been sown in West Virginia. Do they care
about the Clippers or you know, or the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You've got to you've got to make it where people care.

But anyway, it is. The Ben Malaris Show will take
some more of these riveting phone calls. We have Mallard
of the third degree. We've also got windows shopping and
angry Adams. But right now, let's cope with the night
in sports and a man who's not West Coast bias.
I never, I don't know. There's a big, big world
(25:00):
out there in the wild blue yonder. Yes, Nickole, gotta
keep tabs on all of it.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Then, of course, yeah, Thursday Night Football, Steelers edge the
Titans twenty to sixteen. Pittsburgh entered the fourth quarter down,
but then Kenny Pickett did this.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Picket in the shotgut gets the snap looks right, They
Johnson wide open touchdop Pittsburgh. The Steelers march in ninety
two yards to take the lead. That's Yon Tae Johnson's
first touchdown and what a couple of seasons.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Yes, just like you said earlier, Ben. Courtesy of the
Steelers Radio Network, there exactly. Chiefs ruled out running back
Clyde Edwards Hilaire for Sunday's game in Germany due to illness.
Giants coach Brian Dable ruled out quarterback to Rod Taylor
and Titan Darren Waller for this weekend's game. In the NBA,
Victor wembin Yama was the star of Thursday night's contests.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
That's courtesy of the Spurs Radio Network. What was he
trying to do with his name there, I'm not I'm
not not quite sure.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Broad you're the play by play guy, you would.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Well, I don't speak French. It sounded like he was
trying to do some sort of French flair with the
end of his name.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I don't know. Well, that's how you stand out, as
you know, right, you got to have a little Rasmataz,
one of my buddies who used to do the Portland
Trailblazers game Brian Wheeler back and that guy had the
rasmataz Man. He would, oh, he'd lay it on thick there.
But that is his call was boomshocka locka.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's such a local play by play thing in the
NBA to kind of have your your catchphrase and your
little shtick too, isn't it. Oh yeah, I feel like
it's so specific to local NBA play by the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Like the NBA marketing people, they put those sizzle reels
together and they put the highlights in there, and it
does come. It sounds really good when they do it
with local calls and all that solid.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I grew up in a Sacramento and you had a
grand Napier and he had a few.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Put in the books. Send him to the line. Gary

He's been the guy. He's going on forty years. Yeah, well,
I know Grant. I met Grant Napier a few times.
He got whacked during the COVID thing, but he he
was good because he did an afternoon drive show and
like he'd ripped the guys, but the player didn't like
him because he'd actually ripped the players in the I
do not help his job secure. No, I don't know
how he lasted as long as he did.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I remember list of the carving, like, man, so you're
you're gonna do this in the afternoon, then three hours
later you're gonna go call a game and pretend everything's cool.

Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to. And that's why we have a brand
new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so
much fun in our two hour show. We never get
to everything, honestly, because this guy is over promising things.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We never have time for. Yeah, you blubber list lame
in me.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years. Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show,
and we want you to be a part of it.
We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also
gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I
are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time,
it will continue on our after show.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Called over Promised.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 11 (28:55):
There you go, over promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listener Over Promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
As we roll on through these over night hours, and
we are glad you have chosen to spend some time
with us. Try the podcast, it's not it's got no calories.
And we also have the Fifth Hour podcast just will
be coming up this weekend and man, is that is
that gonna be big? I think we're doing four pods
this weekend. We're doing like extra pod because the Breeders
(29:31):
Cup is going on, so we'll be out at the Breeders'
Cup doing a live Last time we did must not
I guess I live pod, but it's close to a
live pod. Last time we did one of those was
at the super Bowl where randomly we did the Super
Bowl from Arizona Media Media Row, which they used to
never let me go to, but for some reason the
company felt pity on me and they've let me go
(29:52):
to that the last couple of years. The Super Bowl
media thing, and behind a curtain, we didn't know who
he was going to be there, popped popped out. It
was like popping out of a cake. Was Emmett Smith,
the all time leading rusher in the NFL. He's like, pop, hey,
I'm you know here, you want to talk and he
was like promoting I think he's promoting paper towels. So
(30:14):
the way that works is you have the guest on,
but they're only there to talk about paper towels, so
you have to talk to them for like five or
six minutes and then they do a commercial for paper towels,
which nobody wants to hear, but that's the catch. That's
how they do it. So anyway, hey, speaking of commercials, now,
this is something you do want to hear. We are
(30:35):
in the home stretch to get tickets to horse racing's
biggest moment of the year. The world's best are in
Santa Anita right now for the Breeders' Cup World Championships
going on today and tomorrow. So if you're in the
areas it's geographically desirable, the countdown is over, it's going
on today and tomorrow. The big event on Saturday, but
the juvenile racist today. Get tickets at Breeders Cup dot com.
(30:58):
And if you are going out there today, if you're
in the air and you're gonna be at that event
at Santa Anita, let me know, send me a message.
I'll be out there. I'm not getting out there in
the morning though I'm sleeping, but i will be out
there in the afternoon. So I'm looking forward to that.
I'm gonna have a grand old time. Let's say hello
to a man who's also having a grand old time
(31:18):
because there is a parade today in Arlington, Texas. So
the victor goes the parade and we say, hello, will
he be at the parade? I don't know Ed in Arlington? Hello, Ed, I.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Love a parade. Yeah, I think I'm gonna hit that. Yeah,
I think I might make it down there.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You gotta get it.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
What I'm more excited about. What I'm more excited about
now is it's only one more year till the probable
and highly anticipated Dodgers Rangers World Series.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I don't know that you want that, Ed, I don't
know that you want that smoke Dodgers and Rangers. I
don't know that you want it.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Well, somebody might watch it, unlike this one.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, that was you knew going in that was
not going to be big for baseball, and they did
all they changed all these rules to get people to watch.
And then they had a crappy Diamondbacks team in there,
like the Rangers. They got a few stars. If the
Rangers have been matched up to a more against the
more glamorous team, they people would have watched.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Is there going to be a sixty three game season
next year? Then I don't think you have anything to
worry about, Ed.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Coop Coop lame jokes for next hour. Coop, you're you're
you're ahead of yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Open mic over there? Kooper Loop? Is that what you're doing?
My god, you're embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
You said, that's right, I'm practicing my my tight fifteen unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Shouldn't you be on a minute's limit? Like lebron Eddieway
listen ed talk us through it? Ed, How how long
you've been a Ranger fan? You've called the show for years.
You're the only guy I know that regularly talked to
Rangers baseball and I'm not making that up. So you've
been a Ranger fan for how many years? E?
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Well, I go back to the day of Jeff Burrows
and Steve Foucault and when they were managed by Billy Martin,
pulling these games out of the crapper at the last
minute like nobody had ever seen before. Until that, the
team had pretty well. It's like that. They moved the
team from Washington in seventy two, and for the first
(33:19):
couple of seasons, people were thinking, well, why'd you do that?
Why don't you just leave them where they were? Because
nobody was coming to the games. They played in a
ramshackle minor league stadium. But somehow they managed to hire
Billy Martin and he lit a fire under some well
traveled this cast offs from other teams and they came together.
(33:45):
They finished second that five games behind the Oakland A's
and the Oaklanday's. Heyday. They're big start at time, and
just into the Jeff Burrows was They had Ferguson Jenkins
for a few years towards the end of his career,
and Ferguson Jenkins won twenty five games in seventy four.
So that was when I started first started listening to
(34:07):
these guys. That was pretty exciting. In other names, you
may remember Toby Harra, Oh yeah, Gaylord Perry. Even after
Billy Martin wore out his welcome, he got in a
fight in a script joint.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Here.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
They hired Baltimore Orioles coach Billy Hunter, who took him
the second place, won ninety four games in his first season,
and his reward for that from owner Brad Corbett. The
next owner of the Rangers, he fired Billy Hunter because
by finishing second, he didn't finish first. Second place was
(34:48):
a dream finished for the Rangers in that decade. That's
not as close as they can hope for finishing first.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All Koopus hit the buzzer here. Ed not that he
does not love the history of rage baseball, but he's
told me he will literally stab me in the eye
if this goes on any longer. But I'm happy for you, Ed, congratulations.
I remember that crappy ballpark and what was the name
of the Let's get out on this note.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
What was the name of that?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
There was like an amusement park kind of near that
crappy minor league ballpark. What was the name of that? Back, Oh,
he's gone, I will never know, But I remember I
would watch games when I was a kid, and they
played in that craphole ballpark. I see, like the Angels
and the Rangers, and it was always like one hundred
and twenty degrees even at night, and they had like
there was some off in the distance. There was some
(35:34):
I forget the name of it. There was like some
amusement park right near the stadium there as I remember.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, maybe I made that up. I
have no idea. It's the Ban Maelard show. So angry Adams,
DeVante Adams getting snippy with reporters there covering the Raiders.
He was playing basketball in the locker room, and he
scolded the media saying they're worried about the wrong blank. Yeah,
(36:00):
so Davonte should quit and then run a newsroom and
then he can advise the media so they can worry
about the right blank. And the window shopping is underway
as the seventy six ers trying to replace James Harden
Donovan Mitchell the name of the day along with Bojon Bogdanovich. Well,
(36:21):
that'll move the needle in Philadelphia Bogdanovich, unless it doesn't.
Here's the Insta trivia. Bill's quarterback Josh Allen can type
blank and Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young for
the second most games with at least one touchdown pass
and one rushing touchdown in NFL history this weekend. That
(36:41):
is the Instera trivia the answer next.

A bunch of people said, by the way, the amusement
park was six Flags over Texas, So thank you everyone
that sent that. In the question, we're talking about with
(38:06):
ed Sean King from Double O Mexican. You know I

Billy Kilmer from Palm Desert Rat. Who else do we have?
Page down? Page down? Ferg Dog says Big Ben the horse,

Late Night drug tester page down Fields of Green says
that it's Timberwolves radio announcer Alan Horton formerly part of
the Maler Militia, Bob Saggett guest by the main Trucker,
Billy Joe Holbert from Voodoo head Lice, and the correct
answer Aaron Rogers, Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young and possibly Josh

Allen with one more touchdown running and passing on the
SERI how about that to the third degree?
Speaker 9 (39:03):
This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Hoop Doll.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
An NFL insider said on Wednesday that aj Brown is
an MVP candidate this year, and Ben, we already know
that you don't think a wide receiver will ever win MVP.
Who do you having the lead for the award this season.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
So I'm going Chalky mcchalk here, Coop, I got Patrick
Mahomes even after losing to your Broncos. It is a
quarterback award. Ultimately, he's the top quarterback Kansas City. They've
got dump truck wide receivers. They do have Taylor Swift
on their side, though, so that's good. It's pretty much
whoever plays well the final five or six games of
the year, and Mahomes is in the lead, but Jalen Hurts,
(39:43):
Lamar Jackson, Tua Tonguebai Loa Evans in the conversation, it's
a down the stretch award. What's next? Cool.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
It's well known now that the Padres are having some
financial struggles, as they were just approved for a fifty
million dollar loan. Now that is leading to speculation that
Juan Soto could be ship out of town to save money.
Ben do you think Soto gets traded?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Oh? Yeah, A little birdie months ago who eats fish,
tacos and likes to walk around. La Joya said that
Juan Soto pretty much knows he's going to be traded.
He didn't know where, but he knows he's gonna be traded.
It's gonna be one of the East Coast teams, probably
the Red Sox, Yankees or Mets. But he's out of
San Diego next.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
The Seahawks win over the Browns last weekend lifted them
to five and two on the year, and Gino Smith
proclaimed in a recent interview that the team can match
up with anybody. Ben Are the Seahawks legit?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Because of Gino Smith last five weeks Gino Smith six touchdowns,
six interceptions, two fumbles, No matter what. No. Stratenas and
JJ and Retten and crying Craig say they're not legit
with Gino Smith, How did we do you pass this?
That is a win. You can put it on the
bar Coast.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
The week in the win column.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
