Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pizza, Pizza. It's our numb birth three, our number three,
and we go to where the Cheetah roams. Wide receiver
Tyreek Hill denied, denied a captaincy spot by the Dolphins.
Give me your Reakshan also an NFL offensive coordinator. Are

(00:22):
they are these NFL offensive coordinators losing sleep over Micah Parsons?
One Green Bay defender says that is the case. We'll
examine that. Also, Johnny Manziel says, Alabama's aura is completely gone.
Now that fear aspect of what Alabama is is completely gone.

(00:42):
Nobody's scared of them boys, not Vandy, not Kentucky, not nobody.
Is that how you see it from the mouth of
Johnny Manziel. We'll go there here in our number three
to the fish. Take you go. Well, come the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are

(01:03):
in the air everywhere as we jabber, and we are
grunting and grumbling the night away coast to coast, sported,
debort and beyond. On the vast and imposingly powerful microphones
of fs are emmating live from the coaster, the roller

(01:26):
coaster of the nocturnal life from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved by High am Doom, not
high im Bloom, High em Doom. He approves this show
and this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
in part by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Business

(01:48):
fluctuates from running your manufacturing business. Listen, it can be
complicated and complex, but staffing your business should not have
to be so. Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce you need.
Go to expresspros dot com to find the location near

(02:09):
hour from the world of pro football. We go to
South Florida, where the weather's good and the football is bad,
at least pro football. So Captain Morgan has nothing on
Captain Week in the NFL. I always look forward to it,
the overreaction, the micro analyzing of who's a captain, who's

(02:32):
not a captain, the ceremonial giving of captaincies, the people
that don't deserve them because they were drafted. High shout
out to the Tennessee Titans. I know Danny and Nashville
who lives in Miami agrees with me on that. But
it is a ceremonial mostly ceremonial ritual that for some
has big meaning to be a captain, to have that
C on your chest. You're the captain of the team. Ah,

(02:54):
it's a big deal. So the headline headline on the
latest captain in Captain out game, if you saw it,
you might know where I'm going. Maybe not. For the
first time since joining the Miami football team back in
twenty twenty two, wide receiver Tyreek Hill was not was

(03:16):
not voted as a captain by his Dolphin teammates following
his very well noted public apology. He's not a captain.
Oh my god. Yep, he has been told by his teammates, thanks,
but no thanks when it comes to being a captain.

(03:38):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill denied a captaincy spot by the Dolphins.
Give me your reaction, all right, So I'll go first year,
I've got American Horticulture Society, Dairy Queen, and Serengetti, and

(04:00):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make some rice and some baba ganoosh. That's
what we're gonna make. Rice and baba ganoush. All right, So,
first of all, this is one of those play stupid
games and then you'll win stupid prizes situations. That's how

(04:21):
I had it on my scorecard. A karmik boomerang, As Andrea,
the astrology insider in the Bay Area would point out,
it is a karmic boomerang for Tyreek Hill and his
very well well publicized rebellion against the Dolphin Machine at
the end of last season. You might remember he tried

(04:44):
to go rogue Tyreek Kill. He undermined his quarterback, the
coaching staff. He staged a mini locker room coup, and
now he's back and his teammates have responded the way
a TSAA responds to a suspicious bag. If you've ever
gone to TSA, right, they flag the bag, they toss

(05:07):
it to the side, and they say, not getting on
this flight, we have to go to more advanced screening.
I'd like you to go off to the side. Yes,
I had that happen one time. I was flying out
of an airport in Virginia and I got taken to
the back room by TSA. Yeah, the back room always
always fun. There you go in the back room. What

(05:27):
goes on in the back room does not leave the
back room unless it does anyway. Listen, people don't forget.
The point of all this is people don't forget. They
remember Tyreek Hill. It's like having watching Tyreek with the Dolphins.
It's kind of like having a season pass to Six
Flags Magic Mountain. Tyreek is a coaster which is exhilarating,

(05:52):
occasionally frightening, and often terrifying all at once. And you
get the chills, you get the thrills and all that stuff.
So you got that. You never quite feel safe. You're
not supposed to. It's a roller coaster. You're not supposed
to feel totally safe. Otherwise what's the point of doing it?
And eventually though, people get sick of it, they don't
want to write it anymore because they're like, Eh, I've

(06:13):
done it enough. I'm fine. Ah, I'm good. And that's
essentially the Dolphin players here are like, you know what,
we don't trust this guy uh to steer the ship,
so you're no longer a captain. And Miami Brass the
lesson here. It's kind of obvious. The Miami Brass should
have followed the advice of the American Horticultural Society. If

(06:36):
you have dead wood, you cut out the dead wood.
You gotta cut out the dead wood there. And that's
what Hill is. Dead wood. Now, that's it unreliable. You
prune it before it rots the entire tree. What are
the Miami Dolphins do the genius is in Miami. Well,
you got a guy who's untrustworthy, who undermined whatever they're

(06:59):
trying to do in Miami, and instead of cashing out
while you could still get some value, they're like, no, no, no.
Even though we've been advising them for months to get
rid of Tyreek, they kept him. And now here we are,
they're in a pickle. And we don't like pickles. They're
in a pickle. I'm sorry, alf we don't like. But
you don't let the player turn into a depreciating stock.

(07:22):
And that appears to be what the Dolphins have done.
It's just not about the talent. And yeah, Tyreek, well
he was not as good last year. There is a
bit of hey, well what's going on here? He's electric,
he can still score, fair him ount get him out
in the open field, Magical things will happen and all that.
But the captaincy is not about that. It's about leadership

(07:43):
and if your teammates don't believe in you, and they
don't think you're captain worthy, then you're nothing more than
just a random highlight machine that will bounce from team
to team to team, and that generally does not win
you a lot in the postseason. And Tyreek was the caboose.

(08:05):
Now he was even more like a stock car in
Kansas City. And the Chiefs have not missed Tyreek Hill
at all. He's gone to Miami, made a lot of money,
more money than he would have made in Kansas City.
But it's not like the Chiefs are looking back saying, man,
if we'd only kept Tyreek, we'd have two more Super Bowls.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
No. And so Tyreek's fast, He's obviously one of the
fastest players ever to play in the NFL, probably not
right now, but he cannot outrun the reputation. I cannot
do it. And that's that's his own fellow employees, the
people around him, that's what they're they're doing all right now. Secondly,
we go to Green Bay, where the cheese is fresh

(08:48):
and the football is supposed to be good. There at
Lombou Field, there's where a linebacker named Eddriyn Cooper Hm.
I wonder if he's named after Edgrin James the old culture.
I don't know, I've never heard this guy before, but
he said something interesting, so we'll make a big deal
about it. Drin Cooper, that's a linebacker in northern Wisconsin.

(09:09):
He was asked about the pairing of him and Micah Parsons,
that's the ex cowboy and what that's gonna go go
this season in Green Bay and how that's gonna go
and uh he mentioned Cooper said that Parsons would mean
nightmares for the opposite side of the ball this season.

(09:31):
It's a quote, nightmares for the opposite side of the ball.
So question our NFL offensive coordinators losing sleep? Are they
losing sleep over Micah Parsons? So I have two letters
I would like, we're gonna play the Wheel of Fortune.
I want an N and an oh, and I get

(09:51):
an N and and oh we'll put those together and
uh yeah, no, and that's it. No, not even a
cat nap lost, not even a catnapp. Now, this guy
Eddrin Cooper acting like Micah Parsons is somehow Freddy Krueger
with shoulder pads on. It's like, come on, let's call
it what it is. This is puffery with a capitol

(10:13):
p It's like one of our old callers from used
to be It's used to be in Minnesota, but now
she's in she's in Colorado. I don't she keeps moving.
Maybe she's in Kansas. I don't know. But spin cycle,
old friend, spin cycle, Regina, it's a spin cycle. The
Packers already had spoiler alert. They already had a top
five defense last year. Hello, yeah, what did that get them?

(10:34):
They were fourth in the entire NFL, the Green Bay
Packers defense. So adding Micah Parsons doesn't suddenly morph them
into the nineteen eighty five Mike Singletary Chicago Bears or
the Ray Lewis Ravens of the early two thousand where's
the white suit? Ray? It doesn't put them on that

(10:57):
pedestal unless they can get a time machine and they
can bring in the late Tony Sarahgusa like the Ravens hat,
you know, bring him in there, or Refrigerator Perry or
Richard Dent like those old Bears teams in the mid eighties. Hat.
Then then then we got something. I don't think either
one of those people is gonna be jugging, juggling out
of the jogging out of the tunnel. If I can talk,

(11:20):
But jogging out of the tunnel, I don't think that's
gonna happen. And so it's just a raw rastuff and
all that. Uh, and don't bear the lead. But man,
the lead here is at Parsons. And I know there's
a lot of people excited in Green Bay and all that,
and certainly I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. However,
Michael Parsons comes to Wisconsin with a pre existing condition.

(11:41):
Now what is his pre existing condition? We call it
brain freeze. You ever gone to Dairy Queen and eating
a blizzard really fast? Really? What happens? You know? What happens? Right? Yeah,
that's Michael Parson. Michael Parsons is. He's the Dairy Queen
Blizzard of Defenders. Very scary in the regular season, very intimidating.

(12:05):
When the lights though shine the brightest, when they crank
the lights up, and when the popcorn is at its
hottest and the pressure cooker hits max, all those things,
all that stuff, what happens. Micah Parsons turns into a
garden gnome. That's what he turns into. He's a show

(12:26):
pony until proven otherwise, He's a show pony. That's what
he was in Dallas, and will he be that in
green Bay? Time will tell, the test of time will tell,
and you can pretty much set your watch to it
that Parsons will break your heart in big games, because
when the Cowboys were in the playoffs with Michah Parsons,
he often took those games off. He just did. And

(12:49):
he accumulated a lot of stats against some bad Giants
teams and some bad Washington Football teams and whatnot. But man,
until Parsons shows up to a playoff game for Green
Bay and is a dominator and does not disappear like
Appleton's adopted son Houdini, you know, the offensive coordinators are

(13:11):
not going to lose any sleep. They'll be sleeping like
babies and they'll be drooling on their pillow. And that's that.
He's not the boogeyman. This is not a boogieman situation.
This is a glorified scarecrow in shoulder pads, a well
paid scarecrow, well paid good for him. He got the money.

(13:31):
He's got more than the Wisconsin lottery. Micah Parsons, So
good luck, all right. Now the final thought, we go
back to college football. College in football Tusca Lusia, Alabama,
and that is where a player who did not play
in Tusca loose, at least for the Crimson Tidi. He
did play there as a visitor. Johnny Manziel, if there's

(13:52):
one thing you need in your life, it is Johnny
Manziel's opinion on something that's going on in the world
of football. Johnny Manziel says Alabama's aura is completely gone.
O m G. Quote that fear aspect of what Alabama

(14:12):
is is completely gone. Manziel stated, nobody's scared of them boys.
That's a good Southern phrase them boys. No one's scared
of them boys, not Vandy, not Kentucky, not nobody close. Quote.
Is that how you see it? Is that how you
see it? So here's the way I see Alabama. We
did a rant about this in the previous episode of

(14:33):
the show. We see Alabama like a faucet, a leaky
faucet at this particular point, drip drip, drip, drip. It's
not a flood yet. We're not at the flood stage.
We're not quite there. There's water damage that is showing.
There's clear water damage for the Crimson Tide. There the

(14:54):
tide has turned. We're talking about a team that just
got essentially blown out by in the second half by
Florida State, after closing last season with the football equivalent
of slipping on a banana peal, a couple horrendous losses.
Last year. They lost to Vanderbilt. That should be worth

(15:16):
twenty five losses if you're Alabama and moose to Vandy,
that's a twenty five loss loss. Twenty five loss loss.
And then they also lost to a middle of the
road Oklahoma team last year that was under five hundred.
So that's not road tide, that's a tide pod. Remember
that tide pod challenged a couple of years back. Yeah, anyway,

(15:37):
let's pump the brakes here. So the Alabama football program
is still a Bentley. It's not going to change from
Bentley stat It's just a Bentley that's in the garage.
You only take it out one day a week. And
that the roster. Despite public perception that they have all
of a sudden crap as the roster, they still have

(16:01):
a bunch of blue chip players that Alabama has put
on that roster, five star talent, all that stuff, and
it's like falling from the sky, great high school players
still want to go to Alabama. The boosters still pay
a lot of money there, and it's like the top
talent falls down like confetti from the rafters. The obvious

(16:22):
Komodo dragon in the room is Kaylin de Boor, who's
no longer at my buddy Eddie's old school Fresno State
or Washington anymore. And you're not in the Mountain West.
You're not in what used to be the Pac twelve
back in the day. And he's now at an SEC
school and that's also known as an NFL factory. We

(16:44):
all know that where the expectations are that you are
going to be a clearinghouse for NFL players. Check that,
and it's championship or bust. There's no middle ground. That's it.
And now everyone though, here's the other thing. Everyone smells
the rot. It's not a full rot, but everyone smells
the rot. And the critics are circling like hyenas around

(17:06):
a wounded wildebeast out on the Serengetti and they're they're
surrounding and the coach here de Boor is the wilde
beast that's wounded, and the hyenas they're hungry and they're
licking their chops. They're like, this is gonna be dinner.
H And Nick Saban's shadow looming so large it's practically suffocating.

(17:28):
Calin de Boor he got the I don't feel bad
for him. He got the bag. He left Washington, everyone
was getting rich and he got the bag. He was
the hot name. He went to Alabama and he sucks
right now. He sucks. But remember the Golden rule, the
Golden rules sports. Whoever is winning, whoever is succeeding at
that moment, will always seem somewhat invincible. Oh, they're never

(17:53):
gonna lose. Oh my god, they're so good. And whoever's
losing will almost always look like they can't tie their
own cleats. They're complete country bumpkin losers. That's how it
always works. And you're never as good as they say
when you win, and you're never as pathetic as many

(18:14):
claim when you lose. The truth is somewhere somewhere in
the middle, right, and so Alabama, you know they lost
their aura. They're not dead. The fear factor thing, the
intimidation vibe. When Nick Saban was there, when they walked
off the bus, the game was over. When Nick Saban's

(18:35):
team it was like playing the Darth Vader music right
the Emperor's March when Alabama would get off the bus.
And right now in this moment in time, when Alabama
gets off the bus, it's like they're playing elevator music.
It's not quite the same. It's not quite the same.
Well it is the Ben Malershow if you want to

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, the first has to be cowboy John Brad right
in the middle. Right, cowboy would have to be the
spread on that. The cowboy John Brad would be the center.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
If you're gonna be a cowboy, you have to be
on a horse.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well he's a black cowboy, and you know, yeah, exactly,
so he'd be the opener. And then but I mean,
justin in Cincinnati, I mean there's some fer dog alf
the alien opineer. There's so many good looking people in
the mountain.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
The one who was on the boat in.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
A hurricane, Oh, weed Man, hippie, not on the boat,
he was at a lifeguard stand in Miami, reporting for
I didn't tell him to do that. In fact, I
told weed Man, I said, listen, you get killed. The
headline is going to be radio host. Encouraged this guy
to stand on a lifeguard shack during a hurricane in Miami.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
What month was that, Well it.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Was during I don't know, it was years ago.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
The month whatever month that is.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I would assume it was in usually hurricane seasons August
and September, right normally, so in one of those months.
But yeah, that was not one of the better bits
because then management gets all upset with me. What'd you
encourage the gott to do it? I didn't encourage him
to do it. He did it on his own. But
we were liable. How am I liable? I told him
not to do it. I didn't tell him to do it.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
What kind of guilty?

Speaker 1 (23:23):
What kind of loser? Says? Unless you're like Anderson Cooper
or whatever, CNN, we are you gonna stand out there
in a damn hurricane in Miami. But weed Man did
it for the show. It's the magic of weed Man.

twenty twenty five preview spectacular YouTube episode on the loop.
Well that see the YouTube thing, that was a soft launch, Alf,
We'll have the full launch for Week one of the
NFL season. That's well called soft launch. Clearly if you

(25:25):
watch it, there were some kinks that needed to be
worked out. Grow or Gas. There was a few issues
with the graphics and whatnot, but we'll work those out.
It's a mom and pop operation. Now. We don't have
the power of NBC behind us anymore. Robin Minnesota says

I almost sent you a picture. On the board it
says donuts and then it says fancy donuts. And guess
what's under the fancies? What's it's a fancy it is?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm sorry, it is a VIP donor donuts.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
No nobody ever argued that an appleforder wasn't a donut.

a donort.

It is a donut. Buy it at a donut shot
also on the exactly that's the point. That is the point,

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You'll have to drive to San Antonio and then talk
to AI. But eventually you'll find someone you know. Given
a couple of years, you'll find out. I'm kidding. I'm
sure we have a great whatever that is. I don't
know where they are, but I'm sure they're wonderful. In Rosville, Minnesota,
says he lost his hearing, aid was eating double decker
tacos on a double decker bus from far out Dave was.

watching reruns of Baywatch from Mike the Leprechaun Loreno, what
say you? The Riddle of the Day Wide Receiver hunter
Renfro missed ten call from his agent and Panthers coach
Dave Canalis because of blank because.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
He was out in the woods trying to get a
picture of Bigfoot and didn't have service.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Obviously, yes, no. The correct answer Hunter Renfro missed ten
calls from his coach and his agent because his daughter
kept declining the call so she could watch Bluepened is
that I don't know what Bluey is is Gluey? Is
it like that like when I is a dog? It's

Blue Louie. Is it recent?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Ok? All right, that's that makes sense. That would know
that Tommy eighteen Okay, So that's exactly I think. I
believe the math on that is exactly seven years. We
the math on that is exactly seven years. So I
need some contestants for maloys amount of money. You got
a call right now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
We don't get contestants. We're not going to play the game,
so I need your help on that. But let's go
to Eddie. Thumbs up, thumbs down. Eddie, who's in Charlotte?

classic radio bit from Eddie, the long suffering New York
Giants fan. Thumbs up er thumbs down.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
We won't be finishing in last this season?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
You sure about that? I don't know. You might be
the backup quarterback. You might have to go up to
Jersey and be the backup quarterback.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Okay, guys, Number one.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Number one.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
In eighteen eighty two, this dude named Curry Fowley I
think is how you pronounce his name was the first
Major League baseball player to hit for the cycle since
being three hundred and fifty people to hit for the cycle.
Is the cycle overrated?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Is the cycle overrated? Thumbs upper thumbs down, so thumbs
up with me, and it is overrated thumbs down with me,
I'm gonna go thumbs down. It's not overrated because the
triple is still relatively I know, some ballparks are easier,
like a Colorado or like a ball of bounce off
the Green Monster at Finway and becomes a little easier.
But I'm gonna still say because of the triple element

(31:29):
of it, which is very rare in modern baseball, I'm
gonna say that it is still relevant. So thumbs down.
What about you, Verina, big baseball fan.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with you, Ben, because I am
not a huge.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Okay a Cooper little thumbs upper, thumbs down, Coop, just
give me a thumbs up with them. He's not listing
at all. Go ahead, thumbs upper, thumbs down. What do
you think? What is? Is the cycle not as important
as it used to be because a lot of people
have done it over the years in baseball? Thumbs down,
thumbs down? Okay, all right, very what's that I said?
Thumbs up, thumbs down. You listen to our live coverage

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Okay, thank you very much. As far as the NI
illness concern in collegiate sports, should it be a cap
so it could be fair for everybody?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
No, I do not believe in salary caps. I don't
want my salary capital. I think the company's done that,
but I don't want I don't want caps anywhere. I
think you should. You know, the market should determine that,
and I disagree, so I'll say no. Thumbs down again,
Lorena thumbs up or thumbs down to salarycaps.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think we should definitely have cap.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's very stunny.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I think it's sunny outside, Ben, and I think having
caps protect your eyeballs and it also prevents wrinkles on
your forehead.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
So I am thumbs up on caps all right, Coop's
busy trying to get some game show contesting what's next year?
What do we have next year? Is last one? We'd
like to learn? All the affiliates? Last one from thumbs
up thumbs down, Eddie, last one?

Speaker 6 (33:22):
All right, now this concerns all sports. Do we really
need these many interviews? At themouts in every commercial break,
dumb up and do or down for the list?

Speaker 1 (33:32):
All right, so thumbs uh, No we do not, So
I'm all thumbs down. I'm thumbs down, Benny. This is
something TV executives determined is very important, yet all they
get is cliches. Now, maybe once every five hundred sideline
interviews you'll get something really good. But is it really
worth it if it only happens once every five hundred?
So I'm gonna go it's a It's really a time killer.

(33:54):
And these the TV network spent a lot of money
for the TV, right, so they think that's an added bonus.
I we don't need it, Lorena.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I think it's good to have people asking good questions.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
It doesn't matter what you asked, they're not gonna answer
the questions. Coop thumbs up, thumbs down. Interviews in game interviews, Uh,
thumbs down, thumbs down. All right, we'll leave it there, Eddie,
