Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bippity boppity, it's our number three. Here we go Buffalo. Well,
the noise noise that Josh Allen has too much power
within the Bills organization is going around. Can you diagnose
what's happening in Buffalo? As reports of Josh Allen being
(00:20):
in complete control? There also Pakistar Micah Parsons says he's
the smartest edge russer in the NFL. How does that
land with you? And the NFL itself is now allowing
head coaches like Andy Reid to have an assistant initiate
replay challenges with that red flag? Are you comfortable with
(00:41):
NFL head coaches outsourcing the red flag duty? We'll talk
about that and more right now. You can paint me
blue and call me a smurf. It's our number three.
Now that is a power player move. Welcome in the
(01:04):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We
are in the air e of reware neighboring as we
have listen, we have no grainy images, none of them
crystal clear. Even our blind listeners like Andrew in Bakersfield say,
(01:27):
you know that's really good. That's really good. I know
it's shocking coast to coast border, the border in beyond.
On the vast and particularly powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the paints as we go hard in
(01:47):
the paint garanteed human from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, where Donkey Sausage had the hutzpah to request
a shout out for his birthday. Now, Donkey Sausage, we're
not a morning show. I don't care that you're hitting
double nickels. I cannot, through the powers invested in me
(02:07):
through Fox Sports Radio, give you a shout out. That's
a morning Zoo thing. We're not a morning zoo. The
morning Zoo guys get paid a lot of money and
they're just better people. I cannot, Donkey Sausage, wish you
a happy birthday. I help you understand now what I
can do, and I don't normally do this. I will dedicate,
much like the late great Casey Kasem, keep your feet
(02:27):
on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. I
will dedicate a live read happy EFN Birthday, Donkey Sausage.
And I know just what you want. Express. That's what
you need. Every fifty five year old man needs express.
If your work is logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
(02:48):
Companies need skilled people now and Express Employment professionals can

get your support and you're also options and get to work.
That's right there. You go with that said, we now
(03:08):
move ahead in the broadcast in Dateline Buffalo, Dateline Buffalo.
We have a follow up not not not not to
the stadium. We'll talk more about that later. Instead the noise,
Oh I love the noise. All about the franchise player.
Have you been ease dropping in? You have not? Okay,
(03:29):
So a little birdie, little Birdie tells us that Josh
Allen has apparently gained power, a lot of power and
a lot of influence with the Buffalo football team. Now
some of the insiders, name like the brag the ones
(03:51):
that I don't think are sleeping with head coaches. So
they're telling us that they've heard whispers around the league
that Josh Allen, mister Buffalo, Josh Allen, former MVP, has
an unusual amount of control. His tentacles are all over
they Bill's offense. Now, the concern there's issues about pass
(04:15):
protection and Alan getting everything he wants and sometimes that's
not what the team needs and all that stuff. Essentially,
he gets to arrange everything, he gets to decorate everything
the way he wants and we do it your way,
we do it, which I think is like a slogan
for restaurants. Will do it your way, We'll make it
your way. And so that's what the Bills are doing.
(04:36):
And this has caused to friction. We love friction. It's
good talk radio, and it's caused problems and some frustration
among the Buffalo Bill's coaching staff over the years. It's
continued and expected to get even worse because Joe Brady,
the sock puppet handpicked by you know who, Josh Allen
promoted and so the people are like, circle this, keep
(05:00):
an eye on this. It's a problem. So that is
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
The noise, a lot of noise that Josh Allen has
too much power within the Bills organization. Can you diagnose
what's going on here with Josh Allen and the Bills.
(05:20):
So I've got dungeon Master Stephen Hawking and Air Jordan
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have some chicken and biscuits and
some gravy, because that sounds good, all right. So first
of all, feathers have been disheveled. They have been disheveled
(05:44):
in Buffalo. It sounds after a minutes long investigation here,
it sounds like Buffalo has prematurely handed Josh Allen the
keys to the kingdom. Now there's normally a protocol. I know,
Alan's been in Buffalo a long time. It sounds, based
on these circumstantial pieces of evidence, that Josh Allen has
(06:07):
become the dungeon master and he is the one where
you're playing dungeons and dragons. He gets to roll the
dice and that's his call, and he gets to write
the rules. It's his way or the highway. He decides
who survives and who doesn't. And so that's that's what
it sounds like is going on from the outside looking
at and the bills apparently are so petrified. How petrified
(06:30):
are they with Josh Allen that eventually you look around
and he realized that he You know, they're concerned that
Allan's gonna snap because he's gonna wake up one morning
and realize he's spent the prime years of his football
career shoveling snow and losing playoff games, and he's gonna
start like, say, wait a minute, maybe I should play
(06:51):
foot seat with some of these other teams here, some
of the glamour franchises in the NFL, like gonna see
a scenario where Josh Allen gets tired of the whole
Buffalo experience and the Cowboys get tired of Dak Prescott
and Jerry Jones becomes a smitten old dude and it's like, hey,
wait a minute, I can get my hands on Josh Allen.
And then that happens, and so you're like, well, is
(07:14):
that really a legitimate concern? By all accounts, The outer
appearance of Josh Allen is I love Buffalo. I'm mister Buffalo.
I'm blue caller. It's my way. I know I make
fifty million dollars year, but I'm blue caller. I'm really
blue caller and all that. So again, Josh Allen's been
handed the they call it in sports, the King James,
the King James package. Whatever Josh Allen wants, whatever his
(07:38):
heart desires, Josh Allen gets. So you want to design
the protection for yourself, no problem, have at it. You
want the offensive philosophy to be your way. It's your sandbox,
big fella. Do what you want. Is the coach bothering
you don't worry. We'll take care of that. Bye bye,
Sean McDermott, Bye bye. Yeah, there you go. Now. Nobody,
(08:02):
nobody inside the Buffalo Bills team facility wants to be
the sucker, the poor sap who tells the franchise quarterback, No, no, Josh,
you can't do that, Josh, you can't do that. And
then they, of course get blamed when Josh Allen starts
(08:24):
a revolt and he's like, well, maybe I should go
And there's palm trees there. I can go down there.
I can buy some sun Tammel Ocean in February if
I go play for that team. Yeah, And they have
real celebrity fans the Buffalo Bills. Their celebrity fan is
Joe the Plumber that wears a Mexican wrestling match and
jumps onto a burning table. That's their celebrity fan, Joe
(08:47):
the Plumber, Jojo the Plumber. I'm scuse me, Jojo the Plumber. Now,
this arrangement is wonderful right up until you remember that
Josh Allen has consistently, despite some big games, warned the
Scarlet l in January playoff games. It has not gone
particularly well. The Buffalo. They do need someone to be
(09:11):
the end to the Yang, the end to the Yang
and not not just a total total country club for
the players there. And apparently nobody, nobody has been able
to step up and do it, and so they didn't
get that memo. And it's so Josh, this is the yeah,
(09:32):
this is the chatter that's going around the NFL that
Josh Allen's doing whatever he wants.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Secondly, we go to the life and times of Michael
Michael Micah Green Bay, Wisconsin, the frozen tundra Green Bay,
and that is where Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who
left Dallas for all the creature comforts of lambeau Field.
The biggest defensive contract the time he signed it there.
(09:57):
Michael Parsons. Now, he gave us a viral quote this week.
Did you see this or hear about it? During training camp? No.
Speaking to spate sponsors state sponsored NFL media, Parsons said
of himself quote, I think I'm above IQ. I think
I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league. I
(10:18):
think he missed a word. I'm just quoting him verbatim.
I think I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league.
I think he said said I think I'm more above IQ.
That didn't even make sense either. I don't know what
he was trying to say. He missed a couple of words.
My god. Anyway, So the quote was, I think I'm
above IQ. Do we have it?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We have it? All right, Well, let's hear. Let's hear
Michah Parsons, who's about to pull a muscle, patting himself
on the back. Here we go, Micah Parsons, defensive edge
rusher for the Green Bay Packers, who loves himself some
Micah Parsons loves it, can't get enough of it. Does
it sound like I'm stalling. I'm not stalling. I'm not
killing time till we find the Micah Parsons sound bite.
(11:01):
Not at all.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, And I don't even think it's just about pastors.
I think about is commanding the defensive front. Like the
way I set it up. I can dictate the slides,
know where the slides going, understand protections. I think I'm
above IQ in every rush in the league. I don't
like I've learned from the best between dan Zi Halfley, Like,
I really understand football at a way better level. So
(11:23):
allows me to, you know, use those abilities that I
haven't seen knowing else dude.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So yeah, there was a famous quote from an old
Raiders coach who said we got to be the dumbest
team in America, and Mike Parson said, we got I
gotta be the smartest man on the field in the NFL. Parsons,
coming off a knee injury snap crackle, pop goes the knee,
played fourteen games with the chief says last year, and
(11:48):
by all accounts, will not play the first month of
the NFL season. Will miss a minimum four games, possibly five,
possibly more as he takes the slow road to recovery.
God forbid your rush back to help you team out.
So out of an abundance of caution, Michah Parsons will
not be playing anytime soon for the Packers. As you
heard there, he stressed his ability to read the defense
(12:08):
and all of that stuff, the schemes at a high level.
So the question is this Packers star Micah Parsons says
he's the smartest edge rusher in the NFL. How does
this land with you? So? I love this story on
multiple levels, multiple levels of love story. Michah Parsons declaring
(12:31):
himself the smartest man in the room is weapons grade
football hubris. Weapons grade football hubris is what this? Nothing
screams mensa, Quite like announcing I think I'm above IQ
than every rusher in the league. Just did he learn
that at Penn State?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, YOI sign up this man for
the reading rainbow. Oh but you don't have to take
my word for it. Yeah. Anyway, where's LeVar Burton when
you need him? I don't know. So my favorite NFL insider,
which is not Diana Russini, my favorite NFL insider Stephen Hawking.
(13:14):
A lot of people don't realize that Stephen Hawking was
the Adam Schefter and Jay Glazer before Schefter and Glazier.
So NFL insider Stephen Hawking had the perfect scouting report
for the kind of chess thumping that Micah Parsons is
providing here. When he famously boasted Stephen Hawking from his wheelchair,
he said that people who boast about their IQ are losers.
(13:37):
Close quote yeah, there you go, ding ding ding, ding ding,
and before Professor Parsons starts teaching graduate level, graduate level
courses on reading protections and dictating slides. And perhaps perhaps
we can go back and look at that game. Remember
(13:58):
the twenty twenty four I remember doing a mo about
the Cowboys who got absolutely slapped by Lamar Jackson and
that read option game. Now, the game, the final score,
as I remember, was not that close to The Cowboys
scored a bunch of points in garbage time. That's where
Dak Prescott shined as the stat bandito. In fact, I
think the Cowboys scored like nineteen points or something like
(14:19):
that in the fourth quarter if I remember spend in
a few years. But anyway, the point of all this
is MICHAEH. Parsons was on the field as I remember,
and Lamar Jackson that read option. He was skating and
dancing around and it was just amazing and Mike had
no chance of stopping. So it's like he looked at
that read option with Lamar Jackson and it's like he
(14:41):
forgot to bring his number two pencil to the exam.
So apparently the chapter, that particular chapter was not covered
in micah U. In the micah university there now the
great Walter Payton. Who is that? Mallor it's all time
great running back so long ago for the Chicago Bear,
Walter Payton. He had a great philosophy about things like this.
(15:04):
He said, when you're good at something like playing football,
you're good at something, you'll tell everyone, I am good.
Kind of like Michael Barton, I am good. I am good. Yeah,
when you're great at something, they'll tell you. That's the See,
that's the kicker on the quote from Walter Payton. It's like,
(15:25):
when you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're
actually great at something, you don't have to promote it.
So Michael Parson's proving he's not truly great. He's just good.
That's all. The man is right there, So I guess
he skipped that part of it, that part of the teaching.
And you know, listen, there's nothing wrong with the believing
(15:46):
in yourself. I understand all these guys have giant egos.
You don't make it in that profession unless you've got
a giant ego. You have to to think that you're
really really great at everything. I get it by yes,
when you have to stand on the table and jump
up and down to announce to everyone in the saloon.
(16:08):
There you sound a lot less like Albert Einstein and
more like the guy at the local sports bar explaining
quantum physics. After six natty lights, it just doesn't really
work all right now, final thought to the NFL rules
and regulations. NFL Rules and Regulations, we go where the
(16:30):
Ben mal Show has now learned that beginning this upcoming
NFL season, which starts in about a month about a month,
we've learned that the NFL head coaches can now designate
a subordinate, a member of the coaching staff to handle
replay challenges. They revised Rule fifteen. Whatever the f that is,
(16:53):
either the head coach or a pregame designate somebody that's
just picked. You're you're my guy. I'm gonna give you
the red flag. You get to throw the red flag,
and either the coach or whoever they designate both cannot
do it. So one person has to throw the red
fag flag the previously, previously it was only the head
(17:18):
coach who could do it. That's it. And the NFL
quietly made this procedural change. It made it with without
an owner's vote. There was no owner's vote. So the question,
the NFL is now allowing head coaches like Andy Reid
or Sean McVay to have an assistant initiate the replay challenge.
(17:38):
Are you comfortable with this?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I have two words in my rebuttal hell no, period stop.
That's it. Hell no. The NFL protecting head coaches from
what exactly? Why would you even think this is a thing?
Like who's sitting around picking their nose in these meetings
saying I know it's a good idea. Let's take the
responsibility of the head football coach to decide whether or
(18:04):
not to replay challenge, and we'll take that away from
the head coach and give it to some jabbroni on
the staff. That makes sense? Why not? Really, who's that?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We need the coaches to do less. I don't get it,
Like most of these cats are paid between ten all
theough ap to like twenty million dollars a year to
be a head coach in the NFL. You're supposed to
be the CEO of the damn football team, and the
NFL is like, well, you know, listen, we don't want
you to worry about this. And most of the modern coaches,
(18:35):
most of the head coaches today, they don't call plays.
They're not the play caller on offense or defense, and
they're pretty much standing there and they're grabbing their ass
and smelling it while the game's going on. You know,
so like what exactly what are they doing? Isn't that
one of the big responsibilities that head coach has is
(18:57):
to basically you're managing the clock clock management. You bark
at the officials, bark, bark, bark, just like that, and
then you figure out when to throw the red challenge flag.
That's am I missing something? Yeah? So now we're outsourcing that.
We've decided now to outsource in the industrial complex of football,
(19:20):
to outsource the coach with the red flag. Okay, that's
the equivalent of like back in the day with the
Chicago Bulls with Air Jordan AND's like, hey, let me
ask the ball boy there if I should take this
last shot. You know what, I'll just have you take
the last shot. Why not? Well, no, that's not how
you do it. You know, if you need an assistant,
(19:42):
If you're a head coach and you need an assistant
to throw the flag, you're not a head coach. You
are dwite shrewd, the assistant to the assistant regional manager.
And you just know that a bunch of owners. I'm
sure Jerry Jones is already planning this out. He's going
to hire some Ivy League nerd and just say all right, yeah,
you come in here. You're my senior executive vice president
(20:05):
of Red Flag Operations. Congratulations. And the NFL. This is
a simple thing. It's a really simple thing. And the
NFL is taking a simple decision and turning it into
another level of corporate bureaucracy and a denial of accountabilities.
You know what's neviely gonna happen is a bunch of
(20:26):
teams are gonna have somebody who's just in charge of
the replay review and they'll f it up. And then
the coach is gonna say he asked the question, well
what happened? Why did you review that?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I didn't make the decision. That guy over there did it.
I'll have to talk to him. I didn't, you know,
I didn't have a chance to talk to him. So
I'll get back to you on that. Really, like, just
be a real head coach. Is that am I being
a bad guy? Ah, you're a bad guy. Mallor am
I I'm being a bad guy because I think the
buck stops with you as the head coach. You're the boss.
(20:57):
Who's the boss? You're the boss, so you shouldn't have
to pass it off to somebody else. You should not
need that. So remind every man, woman and child, grow
some onions and some hair on your chest, and you
the one that throws the damn red If I own
(21:18):
a team and my coach is like, I'm not gonna
throw the red challenge flag, I'd fire the coach. Get
out of here. Now you live with the consequences. It

Femi in Minnesota says tickets to the mallor eat and
greet in Lost Wages Nevada. Alf the Alien opiner says,

we have a timeshare? Sales pitch from Late night drug
tester Malard prop Guy says Derek Carr appreciated Dave Roberts
(25:16):
playing twister with him so that he could hear him
say I liked him in that spot. Yes, with Dodger
dogs From Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Stevie Meatball says he
hooked each of them up with a pair of Dodger
blue balls. All right, Inkotera said gambling earnings from Otani,
(25:37):
I mean Otani's translator from Inkoterr. Yeah, well the problem
was that they lost a lot of money and they
didn't pay taxes on it. That's the prime mean, if
you pay taxes, they don't really care, and you don't
pay taxes, it becomes a problem. From when I've heard,
what else do we have here? Michael in Tulsa says
for hooking him up Derek Carr with upper level ce's
(26:00):
at the Bill's News Stadium and a bladder bag. Very important, Yes, absolutely,
what else do we have? Let's see Slug in Vegas, Hey, buddy,
Slug says, hooked him up with his weed guy poppies
picks from analog al. Rebecca the ram fan said blue
Slurpees with the spiral straws gotta have. You can't have
(26:23):
a Slurpee without the spiral straws. It's not as much
fun as you know. Timmy from Busco Indiana says he
hooked them up with a Fazoli's gift card. All right,
there you go, looks so it's still wonderful there. What
else do we have? Bail money from Johnny Q, PlayStation
five from filler Up, Phil Tillo in Florida says that
(26:47):
hershey gobbagool, the gobbegl jt. The wingman says his collection
of hot wheels cars is the answer. Tickets to the
Milli Vanilli Reunion Tour. That's the answer of the Leprechaun said,
with a lifetime supply of Taco bell with extra lettuce
from the taco bell? What else, Paige den I can't
(27:11):
read that all right? The correct answer to the malor
riddle of the day. Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr thanked
Dodger manager Dave Roberts for hooking up his wife and
kids with a chance to spend thirty minutes cooling down
in Dave Roberts manager's office because Derek Carr was getting
preferential treatment. Apparently it was hot Dodgers were playing the
(27:36):
Was it the Royals? I guess at Dodgers Dam, I
think it was. And it was a little hot there
during batting practice, and so Dave Roberts said, you're an
elite former athlete, so unlike all these thousands of people
that spend a lot of money on tickets and you know,
would really like to cool off, We're going to pick
you and allow you to sit in the manager's office.
You talk about elitism. This is the definition of elitism
(28:00):
by Dave Roberts. And the thing about it is like,
it's not wrong of Dave Roberts to do it, It's
just why would Derek Carr send that out? Like what
like how tone death is Derek Carr? How unrelatable is
Derek Carr to think, Well, I need to thank Dave
Roberts when thousands of other people roasted their ass off
(28:21):
at Dodger Stadium and didn't get invited into the manager's
office their family to cool off because it was a
hot day. Well wild anyway, all I'm the bad guy,
I know. All right, let's get to the phones and
we'll say hello, Aeny Meanie, Miney Mill. Let's go to
Andrew in Baker's Field. We're gonna have Mallard's amount of
money coming up. So when the lines open up, call
up hello Andrew in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Hey, Ben, how's it going today?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If I was any better, I would not be taking
your call. No, I'm kidding, what's going on? Andrew?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So I can't remember, but when Christian McCaffrey was at Stanford,
I remember after a game, I think it was his
brother and he's like, Heisman Trophy. Do you remember who
won the Heisman Trophy instead of Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I do not. I do not.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Okay, yeah, well maybe he should have won the Heisman.
We're Rams fans, but you know we could probably say that.
But you know, Shador right then he won the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Correct, uh, shoulder Sanders did not win the Heisman Trophy.
His his teammate did. Yeah. Oh, guy that was drafted
by Jacksonville. Cornerback, yeah, defensive back, wide receiver yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Double. Okay, Well then I'm mistaken because I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You know, you think there was Travis Hunter? Was who
was the name I was looking for? Travis Hunter?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, he played receiver in cornerback.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Uh yeah yeah if for Dion got all the hype
and you know, but well I was going to say,
here we go. Now we're getting now we're getting to
the point. Here we go, Now we're getting the point.
Here we go, here we go.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
You know, I thought Schador won the Heisman, and I
was thinking why if he won the heis and would
he get drafted in the fifth round? And then I
was wondering if it ever happened in history before.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But uh, well, there's been a plenty of Heisman Trophy
winners that were not drafted high in the NFL. Were drafted,
you know, I mean it's been it's been a few years,
but uh wasn't. Wasn't Troy Smith of Ohio State, he
was down That's a long time ago, but I don't
think he was drafted very high. Was drafted in the
(30:27):
eleventh round. Okay, there you gowhere. Eric Eric Crouch of
Nebraska wasn't drafted very high. If I remember, Chris Wank
of Florida State wasn't. I mean, it's been a bunch,
but I will I will concede. Though lately, I feel
like these guys are over drafted. Like Fernanda Mendoza should
have been a fourth round pick for the Raiders, but
he won the Heisman and he was the hot guy,
(30:48):
so they drafted him.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
And the national championship doesn't really.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Help the Raiders out, does it. We'll see Bryce Bryce
Young should have been like a second or third round
pick for Carolina and they train it up to get
him and they're screwed. So you know, yeah, So Kyler
Kyler Murray is another one Kyler Murray, the little fella,
fun sized quarterback alligator arms. Murray should not have been
the number one pick. And he's proven to be a
fraud and now he's gonna be a fraud for the
(31:12):
Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, we'll see, right, there's no no, no,
there's no we'll see. He's already failed as an Arizona
Cardinal and now he's going to fail as a Minnesota Viking.
What is the issue here, Well, there's no you won't see.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
But he's in the competition for the starting job. Is
he not at Minnesota right now?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It doesn't matter. He started in Arizona, he was terrible.
Who cares if he stars, it doesn't mean he's good.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Well, i've heard he's been doing pretty good in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're lying, you're making that up. No, you're just lying.
You're blying. You're just lying. Well, whoever said that's lying themselves.
I don't know. Call him out. Who lied? I don't know,
But you don't know. You're making this all thing up. There, no, no, no,
your bullguarding that paper. I gotta go play me alone.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
Sorry, okay, this guy was the quarterback for the Raiders

Speaker 6 (38:16):
We have thirty points, so we're yeah, you missed a
Chris Godwin, Marvin Harrison, Rich Gannon, do we have what

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Scott, would you like? Would you like Once upon a
Time in Mexico? Or Doolittle? Uh? Okay uh? These star athletes,
these star athletes didn't actually do much when they finally
won a ring. Forty five seconds, let's begin. His nickname
was the Glove in the NBA. He played for the
(38:52):
Seattle SuperSonics point guard.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
I'm gonna say, uh, Jesus, I'm down. Okay, this guy
was not Jesus. This guy was the quarterback that Tom
Brady took over for.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Oh, well, that would be the guy that went to Buffalo.
H geez, he made wine.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
I know who he is, just to give his Wikipedia protile.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
But how about a quarterback for the Browns he won
a Championsho?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (39:32):
I mean was that?
Speaker 1 (39:35):
That's no, we didn't get any points in that round.
Let's run up the score.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
Gary Payton drew bledsoe.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I was just gonna say, drew justin. Let's let's try
to get some more points even though we've already won
the game. These sports figures all have Mexican heritage. Former
Cowboys quarterback who just got popped for drunk driving, don't well,
what is that? Yeah, yeah, right, all right, the greatest
Mexican pitcher of all time for the Dodgers back in
the eighties. Oh, come on, Fernando Venezuela, doesn't matter, we
(40:11):
want anyway. We are chicken. And when I went a
golden ticket,
Bippity boppity, it's our number three. Here we go Buffalo. Well,
the noise noise that Josh Allen has too much power
within the Bills organization is going around. Can you diagnose
what's happening in Buffalo? As reports of Josh Allen being
(00:20):
in complete control? There also Pakistar Micah Parsons says he's
the smartest edge russer in the NFL. How does that
land with you? And the NFL itself is now allowing
head coaches like Andy Reid to have an assistant initiate
replay challenges with that red flag? Are you comfortable with
(00:41):
NFL head coaches outsourcing the red flag duty? We'll talk
about that and more right now. You can paint me
blue and call me a smurf. It's our number three.
Now that is a power player move. Welcome in the
(01:04):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We
are in the air e of reware neighboring as we
have listen, we have no grainy images, none of them
crystal clear. Even our blind listeners like Andrew in Bakersfield say,
(01:27):
you know that's really good. That's really good. I know
it's shocking coast to coast border, the border in beyond.
On the vast and particularly powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the paints as we go hard in
(01:47):
the paint garanteed human from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, where Donkey Sausage had the hutzpah to request
a shout out for his birthday. Now, Donkey Sausage, we're
not a morning show. I don't care that you're hitting
double nickels. I cannot, through the powers invested in me
(02:07):
through Fox Sports Radio, give you a shout out. That's
a morning Zoo thing. We're not a morning zoo. The
morning Zoo guys get paid a lot of money and
they're just better people. I cannot, Donkey Sausage, wish you
a happy birthday. I help you understand now what I
can do, and I don't normally do this. I will dedicate,
much like the late great Casey Kasem, keep your feet
(02:27):
on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. I
will dedicate a live read happy EFN Birthday, Donkey Sausage.

That's right there. You go with that said, we now
(03:08):
move ahead in the broadcast in Dateline Buffalo, Dateline Buffalo.
We have a follow up not not not not to
the stadium. We'll talk more about that later. Instead the noise,
Oh I love the noise. All about the franchise player.
Have you been ease dropping in? You have not? Okay,
(03:29):
So a little birdie, little Birdie tells us that Josh
Allen has apparently gained power, a lot of power and
a lot of influence with the Buffalo football team. Now
some of the insiders, name like the brag the ones
(03:51):
that I don't think are sleeping with head coaches. So
they're telling us that they've heard whispers around the league
that Josh Allen, mister Buffalo, Josh Allen, former MVP, has
an unusual amount of control. His tentacles are all over
they Bill's offense. Now, the concern there's issues about pass
(04:15):
protection and Alan getting everything he wants and sometimes that's
not what the team needs and all that stuff. Essentially,
he gets to arrange everything, he gets to decorate everything
the way he wants and we do it your way,
we do it, which I think is like a slogan
for restaurants. Will do it your way, We'll make it
your way. And so that's what the Bills are doing.
(04:36):
And this has caused to friction. We love friction. It's
good talk radio, and it's caused problems and some frustration
among the Buffalo Bill's coaching staff over the years. It's
continued and expected to get even worse because Joe Brady,
the sock puppet handpicked by you know who, Josh Allen
promoted and so the people are like, circle this, keep
(05:00):
an eye on this. It's a problem. So that is
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
The noise, a lot of noise that Josh Allen has
too much power within the Bills organization. Can you diagnose
what's going on here with Josh Allen and the Bills.
(05:20):
So I've got dungeon Master Stephen Hawking and Air Jordan
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have some chicken and biscuits and
some gravy, because that sounds good, all right. So first
of all, feathers have been disheveled. They have been disheveled
(05:44):
in Buffalo. It sounds after a minutes long investigation here,
it sounds like Buffalo has prematurely handed Josh Allen the
keys to the kingdom. Now there's normally a protocol. I know,
Alan's been in Buffalo a long time. It sounds, based
on these circumstantial pieces of evidence, that Josh Allen has
(06:07):
become the dungeon master and he is the one where
you're playing dungeons and dragons. He gets to roll the
dice and that's his call, and he gets to write
the rules. It's his way or the highway. He decides
who survives and who doesn't. And so that's that's what
it sounds like is going on from the outside looking
at and the bills apparently are so petrified. How petrified
(06:30):
are they with Josh Allen that eventually you look around
and he realized that he You know, they're concerned that
Allan's gonna snap because he's gonna wake up one morning
and realize he's spent the prime years of his football
career shoveling snow and losing playoff games, and he's gonna
start like, say, wait a minute, maybe I should play
(06:51):
foot seat with some of these other teams here, some
of the glamour franchises in the NFL, like gonna see
a scenario where Josh Allen gets tired of the whole
Buffalo experience and the Cowboys get tired of Dak Prescott
and Jerry Jones becomes a smitten old dude and it's like, hey,
wait a minute, I can get my hands on Josh Allen.
And then that happens, and so you're like, well, is
(07:14):
that really a legitimate concern? By all accounts, The outer
appearance of Josh Allen is I love Buffalo. I'm mister Buffalo.
I'm blue caller. It's my way. I know I make
fifty million dollars year, but I'm blue caller. I'm really
blue caller and all that. So again, Josh Allen's been
handed the they call it in sports, the King James,
the King James package. Whatever Josh Allen wants, whatever his
(07:38):
heart desires, Josh Allen gets. So you want to design
the protection for yourself, no problem, have at it. You
want the offensive philosophy to be your way. It's your sandbox,
big fella. Do what you want. Is the coach bothering
you don't worry. We'll take care of that. Bye bye,
Sean McDermott, Bye bye. Yeah, there you go. Now. Nobody,
(08:02):
nobody inside the Buffalo Bills team facility wants to be
the sucker, the poor sap who tells the franchise quarterback, No, no, Josh,
you can't do that, Josh, you can't do that. And
then they, of course get blamed when Josh Allen starts
(08:24):
a revolt and he's like, well, maybe I should go
And there's palm trees there. I can go down there.
I can buy some sun Tammel Ocean in February if
I go play for that team. Yeah, And they have
real celebrity fans the Buffalo Bills. Their celebrity fan is
Joe the Plumber that wears a Mexican wrestling match and
jumps onto a burning table. That's their celebrity fan, Joe
(08:47):
the Plumber, Jojo the Plumber. I'm scuse me, Jojo the Plumber. Now,
this arrangement is wonderful right up until you remember that
Josh Allen has consistently, despite some big games, warned the
Scarlet l in January playoff games. It has not gone
particularly well. The Buffalo. They do need someone to be
(09:11):
the end to the Yang, the end to the Yang
and not not just a total total country club for
the players there. And apparently nobody, nobody has been able
to step up and do it, and so they didn't
get that memo. And it's so Josh, this is the yeah,
(09:32):
this is the chatter that's going around the NFL that
Josh Allen's doing whatever he wants.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Secondly, we go to the life and times of Michael
Michael Micah Green Bay, Wisconsin, the frozen tundra Green Bay,
and that is where Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who
left Dallas for all the creature comforts of lambeau Field.
The biggest defensive contract the time he signed it there.
(09:57):
Michael Parsons. Now, he gave us a viral quote this week.
Did you see this or hear about it? During training camp? No.
Speaking to spate sponsors state sponsored NFL media, Parsons said
of himself quote, I think I'm above IQ. I think
I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league. I
(10:18):
think he missed a word. I'm just quoting him verbatim.
I think I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league.
I think he said said I think I'm more above IQ.
That didn't even make sense either. I don't know what
he was trying to say. He missed a couple of words.
My god. Anyway, So the quote was, I think I'm
above IQ. Do we have it?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We have it? All right, Well, let's hear. Let's hear
Michah Parsons, who's about to pull a muscle, patting himself
on the back. Here we go, Micah Parsons, defensive edge
rusher for the Green Bay Packers, who loves himself some
Micah Parsons loves it, can't get enough of it. Does
it sound like I'm stalling. I'm not stalling. I'm not
killing time till we find the Micah Parsons sound bite.
(11:01):
Not at all.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, And I don't even think it's just about pastors.
I think about is commanding the defensive front. Like the
way I set it up. I can dictate the slides,
know where the slides going, understand protections. I think I'm
above IQ in every rush in the league. I don't
like I've learned from the best between dan Zi Halfley, Like,
I really understand football at a way better level. So
(11:23):
allows me to, you know, use those abilities that I
haven't seen knowing else dude.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So yeah, there was a famous quote from an old
Raiders coach who said we got to be the dumbest
team in America, and Mike Parson said, we got I
gotta be the smartest man on the field in the NFL. Parsons,
coming off a knee injury snap crackle, pop goes the knee,
played fourteen games with the chief says last year, and
(11:48):
by all accounts, will not play the first month of
the NFL season. Will miss a minimum four games, possibly five,
possibly more as he takes the slow road to recovery.
God forbid your rush back to help you team out.
So out of an abundance of caution, Michah Parsons will
not be playing anytime soon for the Packers. As you
heard there, he stressed his ability to read the defense
(12:08):
and all of that stuff, the schemes at a high level.
So the question is this Packers star Micah Parsons says
he's the smartest edge rusher in the NFL. How does
this land with you? So? I love this story on
multiple levels, multiple levels of love story. Michah Parsons declaring
(12:31):
himself the smartest man in the room is weapons grade
football hubris. Weapons grade football hubris is what this? Nothing
screams mensa, Quite like announcing I think I'm above IQ
than every rusher in the league. Just did he learn
that at Penn State?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, YOI sign up this man for
the reading rainbow. Oh but you don't have to take
my word for it. Yeah. Anyway, where's LeVar Burton when
you need him? I don't know. So my favorite NFL insider,
which is not Diana Russini, my favorite NFL insider Stephen Hawking.
(13:14):
A lot of people don't realize that Stephen Hawking was
the Adam Schefter and Jay Glazer before Schefter and Glazier.
So NFL insider Stephen Hawking had the perfect scouting report
for the kind of chess thumping that Micah Parsons is
providing here. When he famously boasted Stephen Hawking from his wheelchair,
he said that people who boast about their IQ are losers.
(13:37):
Close quote yeah, there you go, ding ding ding, ding ding,
and before Professor Parsons starts teaching graduate level, graduate level
courses on reading protections and dictating slides. And perhaps perhaps
we can go back and look at that game. Remember
(13:58):
the twenty twenty four I remember doing a mo about
the Cowboys who got absolutely slapped by Lamar Jackson and
that read option game. Now, the game, the final score,
as I remember, was not that close to The Cowboys
scored a bunch of points in garbage time. That's where
Dak Prescott shined as the stat bandito. In fact, I
think the Cowboys scored like nineteen points or something like
(14:19):
that in the fourth quarter if I remember spend in
a few years. But anyway, the point of all this
is MICHAEH. Parsons was on the field as I remember,
and Lamar Jackson that read option. He was skating and
dancing around and it was just amazing and Mike had
no chance of stopping. So it's like he looked at
that read option with Lamar Jackson and it's like he
(14:41):
forgot to bring his number two pencil to the exam.
So apparently the chapter, that particular chapter was not covered
in micah U. In the micah university there now the
great Walter Payton. Who is that? Mallor it's all time
great running back so long ago for the Chicago Bear,
Walter Payton. He had a great philosophy about things like this.
(15:04):
He said, when you're good at something like playing football,
you're good at something, you'll tell everyone, I am good.
Kind of like Michael Barton, I am good. I am good. Yeah,
when you're great at something, they'll tell you. That's the See,
that's the kicker on the quote from Walter Payton. It's like,
(15:25):
when you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're
actually great at something, you don't have to promote it.
So Michael Parson's proving he's not truly great. He's just good.
That's all. The man is right there, So I guess
he skipped that part of it, that part of the teaching.
And you know, listen, there's nothing wrong with the believing
(15:46):
in yourself. I understand all these guys have giant egos.
You don't make it in that profession unless you've got
a giant ego. You have to to think that you're
really really great at everything. I get it by yes,
when you have to stand on the table and jump
up and down to announce to everyone in the saloon.
(16:08):
There you sound a lot less like Albert Einstein and
more like the guy at the local sports bar explaining
quantum physics. After six natty lights, it just doesn't really
work all right now, final thought to the NFL rules
and regulations. NFL Rules and Regulations, we go where the
(16:30):
Ben mal Show has now learned that beginning this upcoming
NFL season, which starts in about a month about a month,
we've learned that the NFL head coaches can now designate
a subordinate, a member of the coaching staff to handle
replay challenges. They revised Rule fifteen. Whatever the f that is,
(16:53):
either the head coach or a pregame designate somebody that's
just picked. You're you're my guy. I'm gonna give you
the red flag. You get to throw the red flag,
and either the coach or whoever they designate both cannot
do it. So one person has to throw the red
fag flag the previously, previously it was only the head
(17:18):
coach who could do it. That's it. And the NFL
quietly made this procedural change. It made it with without
an owner's vote. There was no owner's vote. So the question,
the NFL is now allowing head coaches like Andy Reid
or Sean McVay to have an assistant initiate the replay challenge.
(17:38):
Are you comfortable with this?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I have two words in my rebuttal hell no, period stop.
That's it. Hell no. The NFL protecting head coaches from
what exactly? Why would you even think this is a thing?
Like who's sitting around picking their nose in these meetings
saying I know it's a good idea. Let's take the
responsibility of the head football coach to decide whether or
(18:04):
not to replay challenge, and we'll take that away from
the head coach and give it to some jabbroni on
the staff. That makes sense? Why not? Really, who's that?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We need the coaches to do less. I don't get it,
Like most of these cats are paid between ten all
theough ap to like twenty million dollars a year to
be a head coach in the NFL. You're supposed to
be the CEO of the damn football team, and the
NFL is like, well, you know, listen, we don't want
you to worry about this. And most of the modern coaches,
(18:35):
most of the head coaches today, they don't call plays.
They're not the play caller on offense or defense, and
they're pretty much standing there and they're grabbing their ass
and smelling it while the game's going on. You know,
so like what exactly what are they doing? Isn't that
one of the big responsibilities that head coach has is
(18:57):
to basically you're managing the clock clock management. You bark
at the officials, bark, bark, bark, just like that, and
then you figure out when to throw the red challenge flag.
That's am I missing something? Yeah? So now we're outsourcing that.
We've decided now to outsource in the industrial complex of football,
(19:20):
to outsource the coach with the red flag. Okay, that's
the equivalent of like back in the day with the
Chicago Bulls with Air Jordan AND's like, hey, let me
ask the ball boy there if I should take this
last shot. You know what, I'll just have you take
the last shot. Why not? Well, no, that's not how
you do it. You know, if you need an assistant,
(19:42):
If you're a head coach and you need an assistant
to throw the flag, you're not a head coach. You
are dwite shrewd, the assistant to the assistant regional manager.
And you just know that a bunch of owners. I'm
sure Jerry Jones is already planning this out. He's going
to hire some Ivy League nerd and just say all right, yeah,
you come in here. You're my senior executive vice president
(20:05):
of Red Flag Operations. Congratulations. And the NFL. This is
a simple thing. It's a really simple thing. And the
NFL is taking a simple decision and turning it into
another level of corporate bureaucracy and a denial of accountabilities.
You know what's neviely gonna happen is a bunch of
(20:26):
teams are gonna have somebody who's just in charge of
the replay review and they'll f it up. And then
the coach is gonna say he asked the question, well
what happened? Why did you review that?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I didn't make the decision. That guy over there did it.
I'll have to talk to him. I didn't, you know,
I didn't have a chance to talk to him. So
I'll get back to you on that. Really, like, just
be a real head coach. Is that am I being
a bad guy? Ah, you're a bad guy. Mallor am
I I'm being a bad guy because I think the
buck stops with you as the head coach. You're the boss.
(20:57):
Who's the boss? You're the boss, so you shouldn't have
to pass it off to somebody else. You should not
need that. So remind every man, woman and child, grow
some onions and some hair on your chest, and you
the one that throws the damn red If I own
(21:18):
a team and my coach is like, I'm not gonna
throw the red challenge flag, I'd fire the coach. Get
out of here. Now you live with the consequences. It

riddle of the day. Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr. Derek
Carr thanked thank Dodger manager Dave Roberts for hooking up
his wife and kids with blank and that is the
malor riddle of the day. The answer, well, that's coming
(24:53):
up right now here we go. Let's see, does anyone know?
Femi in Minnesota says tickets to the mallor eat and
greet in Lost Wages Nevada. Alf the Alien opiner says,
some tickets to the Broadway show Cats? What else? Do
we have a timeshare? Sales pitch from Late night drug
tester Malard prop Guy says Derek Carr appreciated Dave Roberts
(25:16):
playing twister with him so that he could hear him
say I liked him in that spot. Yes, with Dodger
dogs From Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Stevie Meatball says he
hooked each of them up with a pair of Dodger
blue balls. All right, Inkotera said gambling earnings from Otani,
(25:37):
I mean Otani's translator from Inkoterr. Yeah, well the problem
was that they lost a lot of money and they
didn't pay taxes on it. That's the prime mean, if
you pay taxes, they don't really care, and you don't
pay taxes, it becomes a problem. From when I've heard,
what else do we have here? Michael in Tulsa says
for hooking him up Derek Carr with upper level ce's
(26:00):
at the Bill's News Stadium and a bladder bag. Very important, Yes, absolutely,
what else do we have? Let's see Slug in Vegas, Hey, buddy,
Slug says, hooked him up with his weed guy poppies
picks from analog al. Rebecca the ram fan said blue
Slurpees with the spiral straws gotta have. You can't have
(26:23):
a Slurpee without the spiral straws. It's not as much
fun as you know. Timmy from Busco Indiana says he
hooked them up with a Fazoli's gift card. All right,
there you go, looks so it's still wonderful there. What
else do we have? Bail money from Johnny Q, PlayStation
five from filler Up, Phil Tillo in Florida says that
(26:47):
hershey gobbagool, the gobbegl jt. The wingman says his collection
of hot wheels cars is the answer. Tickets to the
Milli Vanilli Reunion Tour. That's the answer of the Leprechaun said,
with a lifetime supply of Taco bell with extra lettuce
from the taco bell? What else, Paige den I can't
(27:11):
read that all right? The correct answer to the malor
riddle of the day. Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr thanked
Dodger manager Dave Roberts for hooking up his wife and
kids with a chance to spend thirty minutes cooling down
in Dave Roberts manager's office because Derek Carr was getting
preferential treatment. Apparently it was hot Dodgers were playing the
(27:36):
Was it the Royals? I guess at Dodgers Dam, I
think it was. And it was a little hot there
during batting practice, and so Dave Roberts said, you're an
elite former athlete, so unlike all these thousands of people
that spend a lot of money on tickets and you know,
would really like to cool off, We're going to pick
you and allow you to sit in the manager's office.
You talk about elitism. This is the definition of elitism
(28:00):
by Dave Roberts. And the thing about it is like,
it's not wrong of Dave Roberts to do it, It's
just why would Derek Carr send that out? Like what
like how tone death is Derek Carr? How unrelatable is
Derek Carr to think, Well, I need to thank Dave
Roberts when thousands of other people roasted their ass off
(28:21):
at Dodger Stadium and didn't get invited into the manager's
office their family to cool off because it was a
hot day. Well wild anyway, all I'm the bad guy,
I know. All right, let's get to the phones and
we'll say hello, Aeny Meanie, Miney Mill. Let's go to
Andrew in Baker's Field. We're gonna have Mallard's amount of
money coming up. So when the lines open up, call
up hello Andrew in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Hey, Ben, how's it going today?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If I was any better, I would not be taking
your call. No, I'm kidding, what's going on? Andrew?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So I can't remember, but when Christian McCaffrey was at Stanford,
I remember after a game, I think it was his
brother and he's like, Heisman Trophy. Do you remember who
won the Heisman Trophy instead of Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I do not. I do not.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Okay, yeah, well maybe he should have won the Heisman.
We're Rams fans, but you know we could probably say that.
But you know, Shador right then he won the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Correct, uh, shoulder Sanders did not win the Heisman Trophy.
His his teammate did. Yeah. Oh, guy that was drafted
by Jacksonville. Cornerback, yeah, defensive back, wide receiver yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Double. Okay, Well then I'm mistaken because I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You know, you think there was Travis Hunter? Was who
was the name I was looking for? Travis Hunter?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, he played receiver in cornerback.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Uh yeah yeah if for Dion got all the hype
and you know, but well I was going to say,
here we go. Now we're getting now we're getting to
the point. Here we go, Now we're getting the point.
Here we go, here we go.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
You know, I thought Schador won the Heisman, and I
was thinking why if he won the heis and would
he get drafted in the fifth round? And then I
was wondering if it ever happened in history before.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But uh, well, there's been a plenty of Heisman Trophy
winners that were not drafted high in the NFL. Were drafted,
you know, I mean it's been it's been a few years,
but uh wasn't. Wasn't Troy Smith of Ohio State, he
was down That's a long time ago, but I don't
think he was drafted very high. Was drafted in the
(30:27):
eleventh round. Okay, there you gowhere. Eric Eric Crouch of
Nebraska wasn't drafted very high. If I remember, Chris Wank
of Florida State wasn't. I mean, it's been a bunch,
but I will I will concede. Though lately, I feel
like these guys are over drafted. Like Fernanda Mendoza should
have been a fourth round pick for the Raiders, but
he won the Heisman and he was the hot guy,
(30:48):
so they drafted him.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
And the national championship doesn't really.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Help the Raiders out, does it. We'll see Bryce Bryce
Young should have been like a second or third round
pick for Carolina and they train it up to get
him and they're screwed. So you know, yeah, So Kyler
Kyler Murray is another one Kyler Murray, the little fella,
fun sized quarterback alligator arms. Murray should not have been
the number one pick. And he's proven to be a
fraud and now he's gonna be a fraud for the
(31:12):
Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, we'll see, right, there's no no, no,
there's no we'll see. He's already failed as an Arizona
Cardinal and now he's going to fail as a Minnesota Viking.
What is the issue here, Well, there's no you won't see.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
But he's in the competition for the starting job. Is
he not at Minnesota right now?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It doesn't matter. He started in Arizona, he was terrible.
Who cares if he stars, it doesn't mean he's good.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Well, i've heard he's been doing pretty good in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're lying, you're making that up. No, you're just lying.
You're blying. You're just lying. Well, whoever said that's lying themselves.
I don't know. Call him out. Who lied? I don't know,
But you don't know. You're making this all thing up. There, no, no, no,
your bullguarding that paper. I gotta go play me alone.
Go away, Let's say a lord to hollering James, who's
