Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number three hour, number three, and it's all
about the NFL now, and we talked football a little
bit every show, this hour, the Football Hour, while the
NFL has moved everything to tablets and digital communication.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers asked the Steelers for a printed version
of the team playbook. How does that vibe for you?
We'll talk about that. Also. Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb says
the Dolphins were lying last year about a culture change. However,
this year they're going to be doing it. Should you
trust Miami and North Carolina Football GM Michael Lombardi says

(00:43):
those reports about Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson are just noise.
They're just noise, and they have no relevance whatsoever, complete falsehoods.
Would you translate the cryptic message for the regular guy?
We will attempt to do that right now here. It
is our number three. It is just a request, that's

(01:10):
all it is. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of The Ben Mather Show.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
We are in the air amywhere popping fresh as we
ride the ultimate talking machine coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful microphones
of fs are.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Emmating live from the waters, the murky waters of the
overnight from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by JT.
The Wingman in Knoxville. Well close enough, Are you ready
for a new job? Let Express Employment professionals help Wall

(01:59):
Express people in all industries fine work. Our sweet spot
is logistics roles and Express never charges job seekers. Ife
go to expresspros dot com check it out. So or
leave this hour. We gotta do little football right NFL
as it's the lull before the next wave training camps
opening up in about a month month in a couple

(02:21):
of days. So can't do the show without some hot
pigskin talking. Well, Raphael Devers was traded, Okay, I want
to call in and yap about that. I'll talk to
you about that. Devers goes to the giants from the
Red Sox. But the story in football, this one caught
my attention. I thought it was interesting. So we go
to Pittsburg, PA, the land of the Yinsers. The obligatory

(02:42):
malle monologue on Erin Rodger. So Aaron Rodgers raising some
eyebrows recently, what did he do? I'll tell you I'll
tell you what he did. So if you didn't see this,
maybe now, while the NFL has moved to a digital world,
you might have noticed this. It's been that way for

(03:03):
a number of years. Everyone has all of their stuff
on the tablet in the digital world. Where Rogers said,
you know what, I don't want a tablet. I don't
need your tablet. I'm not going to use your tablet.
So he made a formal request to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He said, I would like my playbook hand delivered on

(03:25):
old paper from the paper mill. I want a physical playbook,
an actual book, not a tablet, not a tablet. Were
talking about a book, Okay, So Rogers planning to write notes.
Oh that's exciting with a pencil and study before training game.
So let us discuss the question. While these Steelers and

(03:48):
every NFL team have moved all of their playbook activity
onto the tablets, Aaron Rodgers asking the Steelers for a
printed version of the team's playbook. So how does that
vibe with you? That's the question. So I've got on
this one. I've got the Tesla, the bottle Rocket, and

(04:09):
Super Scooper, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some delicious cupcakes
with wonderful frosting on top and sprinkles, the whole thing.
All right. So, first of all, when I saw this,
a classic, classic Aaron Rodgers on brand, it's hey, I'm different,

(04:34):
you know, I'm different. I'm a deep thinker, and I
don't want the kind of weird stuff with your WiFi
because he don'tink he was WiFi. I think that's the
big issue, right, Rogers is worried about the gamma rays
from the Wi Fi or whatever it is there, and
so he always has to zig when everyone else zags, right,

(04:56):
And so you know, using the pencil, he just speaks
to him the wood of the pencil and then the
paper and all that. And it's gotta be a little bit,
a little bit different there, unconventional we know that. And
diva capital D maybe small D on this, maybe small D.

(05:18):
But part of me actually does like the old school
mentality of Aaron Rodgers, Like I don't need your tablet.
I'm gonna do it old school. I'm gonna take a
pencil out and I want to scribble some notes. A
little chicken scratch over here, A little chicken scratch over there,
and I want to have a feel for everything. I
want to feel the paper, my fingers on the paper

(05:40):
and write things down and make notes in the margins
and all that. However, now there is a reason the
NFL went to digital. It's because it's twenty twenty five
and that's kind of the way it is. And you
just do it and it works and it's easy. And
then when you want to delete something, you want to
update something, it's very simple. You click a couple of

(06:02):
things and then boom, you're on your way. And that's
why they do it. And you know, can you imagine Rogers.
It's like I'm gonna write on the playbook, I'm gonna
scribble around and all that stuff, and then he's gonna
pull out the three ring binder that they use in baseball,
and he'll be looking at the three ring binder and
then boom, Miles Garrett from the blind side, coming off

(06:23):
the edge like a human missile a torpedo. Come boom,
Down goes Rogers. Down, goes Nostalgia. Down, goes Nostagia. Now
we know this is I'm mentioned in a previous hour
about the players this time of the year that half
the players lose weight because they want to be more agile.

(06:44):
Half the players gain weight because they want to be stronger.
And it's always the results that determine whether it worked
or not. Right, if you do well as a lighter player,
then that's why you were having success, and vice versa
if you happen to be stronger. But if it works,
the Steelers will start printing playbooks to everyone. They'll be like,

(07:04):
we're gonna go old school. We're gonna hand out playbooks
like the Scholastic Book Fair. Everyone's getting a book and
just knock yourself out and all that. Now, if it
doesn't doesn't work, the opposite there, if the number two
pencil doesn't quite get it done, then they'll be like, well,
everyone's gonna get tablets and that's it. And you know,

(07:25):
it's like the back and forth, the yin and the
yang of the story. And again, if it works, where
the printed copy of the playbook helps rogers out, it's like, Okay,
why don't we bring back the Al Davis overhead projector
we'll bring that back, and we'll bring back the VHS
cassette tape. We'll do that as well. We're gonna skip DVD.

(07:48):
We'll go back to the VHS tape and that's what
we're gonna And hey, why not use polaride polaroids? You
know you used to use those on the sideline. We'll
use those polaroid things on the sidelines rather than the
tablet because that's old school. We'll do that, now, what's wrong?
And hey, how about the rotary phone. There's a famous
story that Joe Montana figured out a way to he

(08:11):
dialed nine and he would he call his wife from
the sidelines because they used like these old school phones.
And so we'll bring that back. We'll bring back like
the rotary phone, and it'll be wonderful and it'll be
just like nineteen ninety five or something like that, twenty
twenty five. All right, now, turning the page on that
to Miami, Miami, Miami, we go. Interesting story in South

(08:35):
Florida linebacker Bradley Chubb. Bradley and I didn't play last year.
He was hurt, but he made some interesting comments recently
that came to my attention, so I wanted to share
them with you if you didn't see this. So Bradley Chubb,
who missed all of last year, says that Dolphins were liars,
last season. It's not my interpretation, that's what he said.

(08:57):
He was talking about the Dolphins lying about a culture
change and saying that they put their toe in the water.
Bradley Chubb said, but they didn't dive all the way in.
They did not dive all the way in. He says,
they weren't making the effort to go the extra mile
like they're selling gasoline. And he said, I would say
this year, we're doing that close quote all right, so

(09:19):
let us discuss that's the money quote on this Dolphin
linebacker Bradley Chubb says the Dolphins were lying. They were
lying last year about the culture change. However this year
they're doing it. Should you trust Miami? Should you trust them?
So I've got on my scorecard. I've got two letters.

(09:40):
N oh n oh, no no, not until you show
me and not even if you show me, because you
get off to a great start in September and beginning
of the year. And it's bofosako. No no, no. Because
I've seen the Dolphins and ever since Don Shula left
that building and Dan Marino left that building, all that

(10:01):
the Dolphins. We know how this movie plays out. We've
seen the movie. It's a rerun of the movie. They
end up going out there and getting frostbite in December.
All right, cold weather. They got to play at Buffalo
or Baltimore or somewhere cold and it just boom and
if they make the playoffs one and done, that's it.

(10:25):
That's all. The Dolphins are like a bottle rocket in
the NFL. Right, They're flashy, they're loud, they score a
lot of points earlier in the year, a lot of razmataz,
and then they fade away and they're gone, and everyone
at the party forgets about it and they're like, all right,
that's it now. I do love that Bradley Chubb had
the cojones, the Dolphin linebacker, to essentially call out the

(10:50):
coaching staff that they were frauds, because when you say
the team was lying about changing the culture, you're really
calling out the coaching staff. And all this talk is
cheap in June. But I have a show to do,
so I need to talk about this stuff. And he
used the l word liar, Liar, liar, liar, that's good too,
basically saying that the Dolphins were a bunch of pretenders

(11:12):
last year and I wasn't playing, but if I had
been playing, it would have been different and all this stuff.
And the Dolphins talked to talk, but they didn't walk
to walk. And it's kind of half in, half out,
half ass, grab ass and all that stuff. All of
that right, and a phony culture change, but it's gonna
be different twenty twenty five and all that stuff. Okay,

(11:33):
we'll find out when the weather turns cold, we'll find
out whether that's true or not. Now, final fun, So
we go to our obligatory Mallard monologue mentioned on the
North Carolina Tar Hills, and you know what that means.
So over the weekend, the GM this is a new
term in college sports. Michael Lombardi, longtime gas bag and

(11:56):
somebody that's been writing the coattails of Bill Belichick for
years and years zero. So Michael Lombardi came out and
said that all these reports about Bill Belichick's romance with
Jordaan Hudson and all this it's just noise. According to Lombardi,
he said, it's got no relevance whatsoever. He stated complete falsehoods.

(12:18):
He went on and on and on, and he says
he wasn't going to attack the reports because that would
give the reports credibility that's what he said. So when
you translate what this rather cryptic message, rather cryptic message
means for the regular guy. So I have my decoder

(12:38):
ring out, I will attempt to translate this. The way
I interpret it is that Michael Lombardi ever a Bill
Belichick loyalist to his last breath in football. He loyal
to Belichick. So he's like trying to walk in the middle,
and he's like kind of leaning one way, but he's

(12:59):
walking in the he's not denying. He's not denying that
there's some stuff going on. He says, this is nothing.
It's you know, there's a lot of stuff that's being embellished.
And he said when he uses the line, if I
tack it, I give it credibility. Okay, so that line
right there, I attack it, I give it credibility. Speaking
out while pretending not to speak out like you did

(13:21):
talk about it. But you're like, I'm not gonna I'm
not going to mention any name, sir, to give anyone attention.
But you're bringing it up. It's easy to find this
stuff now, just google it. Just google it. And following
the reputation rehab talking points, you see Bill Belichick a
month ago, he hired a spin doctor, one of these

(13:43):
high falutin damage control specialists. So the way I see
Michael Lombardi in this part of the book, Michael Lombardi
is in the cockpit and he's flying the Super Scooper.
He's scrambling flying the plane, the plane, trying to put
out the fire. Got to put out the fire with
the Super Scooper and put out the fire. And you

(14:04):
know it's just noise, complete false. It's blah blah blah
blah blah, no relevance whatsoever, as Lombardi claims, then why
would you address it at all? Again, by addressing it,
you're giving it some some legs, is what you're doing there.
And then you either dignify the lie. You dignify the lie,
or or with a rebuttal you let it die on

(14:27):
the vine, right, you let it die on the vine
and all that stuff. But this is the modern playbook.
We've seen it time and again in these scandals. You
hire a professional pr spin doctor, and this is the
way that it goes. If you're connected to the story,
you just float above it and all this stuff. But
you act like you're above the discussion. And then even

(14:48):
while you're like knee deep. Lombardi's probably waist deep at
this point, I would say. And then the heat gets
turned up and all that, and you know, man, and
you act like you're being persecuted. You play the victim card.
Fro I'm a victim here, blah blah blah. And Lamarty
knows that game. He's acted in that game. He's been
a character in that game for some time. And I

(15:09):
think he probably wrote the book on that, or at
least part of the book, maybe the Ford. It is
the Ben Mahlor Show, and if you'd like to be part,

and then they gave him a cameo role over the weekend.
So if you're famous and you like a Broadway show,

Speaker 5 (26:57):
So it's a ways away.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, thank you, buddy, go back to bed hollering. Jam.
I woke him up, though, I'll take credit for that.
I woke his ass up. I said wake up. He
woke up right away. He woke up right away when
I said wake up. So it's an interesting story here
involving a Raider forever, a Raider, Max Crosby, who signed

(27:23):
He was the for like a day, he was the
highest paid defensive place. You see what Max Crosby said recently,
he said defensive end of the Raiders said that he
believes John Gruden will return to coaching in the NFL
like soon. That's his prediction. John Gruden's been out, he

(27:44):
has been in exile. The Big email scandal. Now Gruden
was out of the NFL for nine years after coaching
the Buccaneers, but he was not out of the league.
He worked on television and did Hooters commercials on television
for a line time, and then he lasted there. He
came back to the Raiders for in twenty eighteen, and

(28:06):
he lasted like two or two and a half years,
and then he got whacked because of the email leak,
the strategic leak, as Brent Musburger said, the NBA or
the NBA and the NFL sent the goombas in and
took him down. It was a strategic hit. The NFL
leaked a bunch of email courd to Musburger, Hall of
Famer Musburger, by the way, leaked the email to the

(28:28):
New York Times on the Wall Street Journal, and that
was it. Of course, we should point out mac Crosby
was drafted by John Gruden and believes that he will
see him coach again at some point, saying he's a
football junkie. It's all he does, whether it's in college
or head coach somewhere. Returning to the league, Crosby made

(28:49):
an appearance on the Johnny Manzel plot. This Menzel's got
a podcast too. Who the hell's listening to that? Now?
I do know that John Gruden has been making the
rounds here getting free crap. Like Gruden, he's doing stuff
with barstool. But they'll send him college teams will just
send him boxes and boxes of crapola and Gruden will

(29:11):
open them up on video and throw the stuff to
the side and all that. And I'll do the same
thing if somebody wants to send us free stuff, like
I know Loraina get used to get a lot of stuff,
but I will. For me, i will open it. I'll
do a video and I'll be just like Gruden and say, oh, look,
there's a helmet. Here's a five thousand dollars, five thousand,
five hundred dollars helmet, whatever it is, two thousand dollars whatever,

away from taking a bunch of phone calls called the
Insta Advice Line. It's unscreened radio. The safety net is

I was debating what direction do we go? And I

(30:19):
think it's rather obvious. The big story that everyone's talking
about has been this Rafael Devers trade. He was the
centerpiece of the Boston Red Sox and now he has
been traded. A Sunday night surprise Father's Day surprise as
Rafael Devers goes from Boston to San Francisco for some trash.

(30:39):
It was takeout the Trash day for the Giants. They'd
sent a bunch of injured pitchers, guys that haven't done
anything in some lottery ticket minor leaguers over to Boston
for Rafael Devers and his contracts. We'll give advice to
the long suffering Red Sox fans on how to deal
with the sudden departure of Rafael Devers. We'll get to that.

The Insta atviceline onscreened radio. The safety net is about
to come off. We'll get to that. And we will
do it next second of today's show.
