Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laca. It's our number three, our number three.
It's not the golden arch. It's the bronze arch. Maybe
just the not even bronze, just like the tinfoil arch
arch manning the announcement came down. He is skipping the
NFL Draft to stay in Austin, Texas for another year.

(00:23):
That is blank. Also in baseball, how do you categorize
the Dodgers deferred spending habits over a billion dollars after
the Edwin Diez contract, a billion dollars in deferred payments?
And in football, how does DeVante adams injury status change
things for the lri Ims. It looks like he'll miss

(00:45):
the game against Seattle. All that and a bag of
chips right now here, it is our number three. They
are not the Golden arches. It's more like a tinfoil
kind of an arch. Welcome in the beginning of another

(01:06):
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
air EveryWare. It is a joint effort. See what I
did there. We know things mushroom, very very fast. We
know that coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and appetizingly powerful microphones of fs are

(01:30):
emmating live from the painting as we are painting our
tonsils unless we're not. When the world famous Fox Sports
Radio Studios and Chip in the que says, Hey, can
you tell me about tire Rack, Yes, I can chip
in the queues. For over forty years, Tyraq has been

(02:15):
tire Mind should be a strip club, John says, you
know what about that that Haleyon? Well, yes, every goal John,
every goal starts with an assist on and off the field.
Alamt Loo knows. That's why Haleyon and US Soccer are
launching for the Assist, a celebration of everyday acts of
support to help people achieve their goals with iconic brands

(02:38):
like Censinni, Thom's, voltairean Adville, and Sentrum. To learn more,
go to haley On Assist dot Com are lead this
hour from deep in the heart of Texas. We go
to Austin, Texas, and we learned that quarterback Arch Manning

(02:59):
will not will not be running off to the NFL Draft.
In fact, he will be returning. Arch Manning will be
back in the saddle again. He'll be back there for
the Longhorns twenty twenty six college football season as he
skips out on the NFL Draft. So if he didn't

(03:22):
see this and maybe not, the story that is being
peddled by those that are writing the coattails of arch
Manning looking to cash one of those giant oversized checks
is that arch Manning is just trying to develop his game.
So he has a complete game under coach Steve Sarkisian

(03:43):
known as sark and he's only made fourteen collegiate starts
at this point. The Manning maniacs who are out there,
they're like, well, listen, they're claiming that he played very
well late in the season, and it's a gambling term.
He's on the come, as they would say, right on
the column there, Arch Manning, and that by coming back

(04:03):
to Austin Texas another year in the Southeastern Conference, he
will be ready to go and he will be the
number one overall pick of the twenty twenty seven NFL Draft,
inquiring minds would like to know. All right, so let's
get into this. That's a good jumping off point, and
let us discuss the question arch Manning staying at the

(04:28):
University of Texas and skipping out on the twenty twenty
six NFL Draft. That is blank. Again for those of
you in the back of the room, arch Manning skipping
the NFL Draft to stay at Texas and college is blank.
So I've got trust Fund toys, r us and Ouiji
board and we will combine all of these things together

(04:52):
and we're gonna make some burnt ends and some poutine
yum yum to my tum tum. All right, So, first
of all, to answer the question arch Manning, it's a
film the blank question. I love filming the blank questions.
So arch Manning skipping the NFL Draft to stay at
Texas is blank. You've got your blank. My blank is

(05:12):
brand That's the first word. And then preservation. So brand
preservation are the words that I've come up with on this.
This is brand preservation, not bravery. This is not I
don't care about the riches of the NFL. Oh I
wanna I want to fine tune my craft. That is
not what any of this is. It's not. It's also

(05:35):
the fact that arch Manning is tied into the trust fund.
Even though his dad wasn't Peyton or Eli, he's still
involved in the family money and the Manning family. If
you look at this from the wide angle lengths like
thirty thousand feed up in the sky. When your last

(05:56):
name is Manning, your royalty, salute football royalty. You don't
have to rush into things. You can let things marinate,
you can leave them there for a couple of days.
And he's got a ton of dough, even though the
guy's not that good. Like there's a lot of really
rich gum people that have cut checks to Arch Manning
to endorse products because they like the name. And they're like, well,

(06:19):
he's an average college quarterback, but let's give him bags
of money. Why not, because we're idiots and that's what
they're doing. So there you go, and he's made a
ton of money. He's one of the highest compensated college
athletes in terms of out nil And when you do
a ven diagram on arch Manning's nil revenue and arch

(06:41):
Manning's performance on the field, things are a little off.
It's just a little wonky, little wonky for sure. So
how bad is it when the tape doesn't lie? Arch
Manning is the Is he in the top fifteen quarterbacks
in college football?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is in the top twenty. He's got to be in
the top twenty five. He's one of the top twenty
five quarterbacks. Gotta be the case? Eh, top thirty? Do
I get top thirty?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
How about top thirty five? Can I get top thirty?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Top forty No? Yeah, he's forty first, forty first in
college football. That is not a blue blood. That is
not a blue blood. That is like night school energy.
I should complain about other than the name plate, Like,
the most valuable thing is the name plate. The most

(07:41):
valuable thing is the name plate on the back of
the uniform. That's it. Is he NFL?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Right?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, he's not even ready for the Southeastern Conference. I
was gonna be ready for the NFL. Come on, the
arm is meh? Arch Man's arm is meh? What about
the process slower than waiting online at the DMV when
you didn't make an appointment? It's a mess. Pocket presence, buffering, buffering, buffering, buffering,

(08:13):
that's it now. Arch was behind behind me. If you
look at the quarterback ratings, arch Manning was behind Owen McCown.
Is anyone talking about Owen McCown as a future NFL star?
You don't even know who Owen McCown is. That's the
quarterback at the University of Texas San Antonio, the Roadrunners.
And what about the well you don't know college football.

(08:34):
What about the great Tucker Gleason who you don't know?
Tucker Gleeson, the quarterback at Toledo for the rock Cats.
Come on, what's wrong with you? So listen. It's it's
directional despair is what arch Manning's kind of going through
right now. And if he had come out now, he
would have still been drafted higher than he should be.

(08:57):
Whenever arch Manning comes out my malleor high hypothesis, he
is going to be drafted higher than he should be,
obviously because of reputation, not his reputation, but his uncle's reputation,
Peyton and Elijah. And so that's the way. It's like
going to look at a prototype car and you go

(09:19):
to see the car there, you go to the showroom
and it's like, well, this is not an actual this
is a prototype, and he said, okay, I want to
see it. Okay, we'll show you the protect. It looks
really good and it's shiny and it's got that really
razzle dazzle. And then you're like, well, there's no engine.
Well and yeah, it's a prototype. There's no engine under
the hood. So Steve Sarkisian is running a finishing school,

(09:41):
is what he's doing. And right now arch manning his
skill set for the Texas Longhorns. Kind of like a
Hollywood movie trailer in that there's a lot of hype,
big blockbuster movie. They don't make a lot of these anymore,
the big blockbuster movie, like a Marvel movie or something
like that. A lot of hype, you've got the dramatic music,

(10:02):
and then a couple hours later you're like, well, I
just spent two hours of my life and nothing happened,
Nothing meaningful happened, Like what is that? All right? Secondly
to baseball, we go the Hot Stove League. Well, this
is not really the Hot Stove League. This is the
Wall Street Wall Street League. As the uh Dodger fans

(10:22):
celebrating the rest of baseball, spitting loogies at the Dodgers,
got a couple of angry emails. Did you see this, Malard?
How can you support this team? It's not fair, It's
not fair. This will all triggered because of Edwin Diaz
and Timmy Trumpet. Now Edwin Diaz the latest savior of
the woebegone Dodger bullpen, coming over from the Mets and
free agency. So Edwin Diaz will not be receiving all

(10:45):
of his sixty nine million dollars from the Dodgers until
twenty forty seven. Hello, yeah, twenty forty seven, a bunch
of deferred money. In fact, he will get four and
a half million dollars annually deferred from the Dodgers piggy bank.
Now that means the back to back and belly to

(11:08):
belly champions of professional baseball, the Los Angeles Dodgers will
spend more than one billion dollars in deferred money for
nine players. That's it, one billion going to nine players. Wow,

(11:30):
all right, So listen, this is the story, the one
over one billions, one billion and then one point not
quite point six, but it's over one billion for nine
players the Dodgers will be spending. So the question, how
do you categorize the Doyers and all of this deferred spending,

(11:53):
the habits of the Dodgers spending this kind of money.
So the Boys in Blue are running. The Boys and
Blue are running a Major League Baseball like it's like
a Toys r Us on Black Friday. And I know
they went out of business. I guess they're back online
or something like that. But the racks are clear. The

(12:14):
racks are absolutely the shelves are empty. The credit card
is smoking hot. They just tossed Edwin Diaz into the
cart and deferred money until twenty forty seven. No problem,
because you're a Toys r Us kid. Yeah, that's the
layaway baby. You pay later, you win championships right now,
you pay later, you win a lot of titles. Now

(12:36):
you get the shiny toy. And that's it. And the
Dodgers are not just spending, Mike you They're not just spending.
They are time traveling with a giant water cash. This
is it's a bunch of monopoly money. That's a bunch
of monopoly money, and they're pushing it all right to
the middle of the table. They are all in. They

(12:59):
are all all in, and that's it. And it's like
their attitude is, we'll deal with this later. We will
worry about having to pay all this money later on.
That's it. And when that happens, the good news is
I'll be really old by the time all this really happened,
so I don't really care that much. The Dodgers are

(13:21):
facing a nuclear winter. They are like, this is not
a sustainable formula. It's fine now and good for them,
and I'm happy I get to see them win the
World Series every year. Every other year. The nuclear winner,
that is, when the sun goes dark, the cap sheet
freezes over, the payroll explodes, and then you're suddenly paying

(13:44):
people with top spaceball cards. They're like, well, no, I
want money, but we don't have money. We'll give you
some top Spaceball cards. But I don't want top Spaceball cards.
I want I want some money. Well, we ran out
of money. We gotta we gotta pay Edwin Diaz and
Otani and Mookie Bets and all these guys. We just
don't have any money. But I want money. It's my
jeb But no, we'll give you some top baseball cards.
Maybe one will be a rookie and then you can
make a lot of money. Is it illegal, No, it

(14:04):
is not illegal. Despite all of you emailing me, Oh
my god, Mally, you shouldn't support this. It's not illegal,
is it against the rules? That would be a negative ghostwriter.
And every owner, every single your favorite baseball team, whether
you're a Red Sox fan or a Giants fan, or

(14:25):
a Rangers or a Twins fan, your owner could do
the same thing. It's not like a special exemption for
the Dodgers. It's not. It's not the Dodgers. Every owner
in the cartel could do this. The Dodgers they just
have bigger balls, brass balls. They're like big balls Bob
in Vegas. They've got big balls and they're playing chess.
Everyone else is stuck in candy Land, which you can

(14:47):
also buy on toys r us. And this is a
short term. It's a short term sugar rush. This is great,
it's wonderful. Long term it's a hangover. It is what
it is. And the deal is simple. You'd better win
every World series possible, every World series possible before the

(15:11):
bill collectors kicking the door with a battering ram and
that's it because eventually I've done the malor math on this.
My theory is the people that own the Dodgers now
the Guggenheim group. Once they have to start paying all
that deferred money, they're gonna sell the team, and some
other schmuck's gonna come in there and be like, well,
I don't know, we can't keep the payroll up because
we gotta pay Oltani. But Otani's fifty five years old.

(15:32):
It doesn't matter. We gotta pay him. Okay, what about
what about Mookie? Well, we owe Mookie a bunch of money,
but he's bowling in Nashville right now. It doesn't matter.
We owe the money that we owe him the money. Yeah,
all right, final thought to La we Go, La La
Land we go. Where the La Rams wide receiver, the

(15:54):
man the mythe legend D'vonte Adams, the great DeVante Adams
there who left Sunday's game when his hammy went whammy.
His hammy went whammy there, so he left the game.
It looked really bad for a while, and well, it's
not that bad. And so now the story came out
that the injury is considered week to week, not day

(16:15):
to day. Week to week and state sponsored proved the
news service of the NFL. They say that almost certainly
he will not play in the game on Thursday, against
JJ and Renton and Nostrodinas's Seattle Seahawks. I will not
play in that game. It is a reaggravation of a
pre existing injury. So question this is like a massive

(16:36):
game on Thursday, a huge game for al Michaels and
Herbie on the Amazon. So the question how does DeVante
adams injury status change things for the Rams as he's
expected to miss that game. So the obvious thing is,
as long as he's there in January, who gives a
rats at? The Rams have proven they can win on

(16:57):
the road in the playoffs, and nobody wants to play
the Ram, right, Nobody wants to play the Rams with
Devonte Adams. So if you get into the playoffs with Adams,
it doesn't matter if you're a wildcard team or not,
whether you're the number one seed. You'd obviously like the
number one seed because you've got to pass. You'd like that.
But that's the movie here, So you just if you're
the Rams, you breathe a sigh of relief and that's it.
And Devonte Adams listed week to week, you know what

(17:18):
that is. It's kind of like your phone being at
ten percent. Now that's not great, but it's better than
your phone shutting out. Like the battery on your phone's
at ten percent. You're like, I can deal with ten percent.
I can make calls at ten percent. I can send
text messages at ten percent. Now, when it gets down
to zero and the thing shuts off, you're cooked. You're parked.
It's not at zero, it's not so it's a ten percent,

(17:40):
it's it's a little stressful. Where's your charger? Do you
have a backup charger? What are you gonna do? You
don't know that battery back up. So as long again,
he's gonna play, the rams aren't dead. Even if Devanta
Adams is hurt, they're not dead. It just changes things.
This is an aggravation. It is a bit of a
stress situation. It's not a brand new booby trap. It's

(18:03):
not a booby trap. It's not that. And let's be
very clear, and based on the comments I've gotten some
of our guys in Seattle who love the Seahawks, the
Twelves as they're called, you guys are scared of Devontae
Adams and you're celebrating, you're doing shot in freude that
Devontae Adams is gonna likely miss this game on Thursday.
Because Adams is the cheat code Unlimited Lives Extra Ammo

(18:30):
with Devonte Adams. His red zone work is insane, to
the membrane, video game numbers, joystick dominance, all of that stuff.
He is, as we say, a war daddy, Devonte Adams
inside the red zone. And Sean McVay, who's very neurotic
when it comes to play calling and all that, he

(18:50):
can let up a little bit when Davante's in the lineup.
McVeigh does not have to overthink things. You can, don't
have to outsmart himself or summon the Ouigi board. Let's
turn to Luigi board to find out if we can
get maybe Willie Flipper Anderson can come back or something
like that. But for Matthew Stafford, you can ram it

(19:11):
all day, you can ram it all night. For Matthew Stafford.
Devonte Adams is remember the old Staples easy button? Do
you remember that the Staples easy button? Press here score
touchdowns in the red zone. That's pretty much it. So yeah,
is he gonna miss the game on Thursday? I'd say
ninety nine percent chance Adams doesn't play the game. Is
that ideal? No, it's not ideal. It's not ideal. You

(19:33):
got to get past Sam Darnold, good old field goal
Sam and the Sea Birds who last week played like
the Sea Turns, barely beating Grandpa Rivers and the Indianapolis
Colts there, so good luck on that, I think it. Ultimately,
the big picture is Devanta Adams there in January when

(19:54):
the playoffs get going a Thursday night, that's fine. And
the way the Seahawks are going the Rams to plaly
win that game. Anyway, Scheme scheme up some other players.

Odell Beckham the other day was complaining this, oh man,

caller from Dayton, Ohio, the man, the myth, the legend.
Who I am. Now I'm gonna say this right now
on the air.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Dick.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
You did not ask me to say this. When the
Browns fire the GM and the coach, I recommend Dick
and Dayton as the replacement.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Well, thank you, right, I know then this is bad
for both teams. In the Bengals, I think it's just
I don't know. The talk shows are just it's vad ben,
it's vandal.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Where does it? What is this worse than when they
were zero and sixteen back in the day.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
It is no, it is it is go do what
they did. And I was disappointed about I love the
buck guys, but I thought that the quarterback should have
got that uh Heisman Trophy?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I really do you disagree with the Heisman voter? Which
quarterback do you think should have got? Because I thought
everyone thought that Mendoza was the favorite, and he know
he won. You don't agree with that?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
No, I like, what was a guy's day? Ohio State?
Can't think of the guy the quarterback Herb Shrum. Yeah, yeah, right,
But I'm telling you, Ben, something's got to give. You
got three more games left and both teams are going
to be hurting. I think they need a new defensive
coordinator and a new coach.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Now, do you have a pep talk? Joe Burrow's going
through a tough spell right now. Do you have any
pep talk for Joe Burrow? Dick, He's unhappy, he's not
having fun. You always have fun. Do you have a
pep talk for him?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:56):
I just hoped. You know, we had high hope for
our team this year. But I'm thinking the Sanders or
that the one guy that they're using might be good.
But it's gonna be I think the vote teams are
any gonna least what foreign thirteen. It's not a good sign. Ben.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Let me tell you something that's one of the great
pep talks. Joe Burrow right now is ready to run
through a wall dick because of that pep talk, and
he's absolutely ready to go. You're up very early. You
normally call the last hour. You called in a little
while ago. What's the occasion you can't sleep?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
No, I hadn't been sleeping real well, I think I've
had a lot of pills. They give me pills, and
I'm I'm real I need to drink more water, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Okay, well, you gotta take care of yourself. How many
pills you're taking.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Now per day they give me, Well, you know, i'd
usually take one in the morning, one afternoon, one of
a lot of pills. You know, it's about yeah, eight

song that's named after right, a song in the nineteen sixties,

talk anymore. He can only express himself with NOI. So
if he laughs uh uh, and if he's happy, he's
like uh and if he saw you, uh like that?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Okay, So now and now we get it. So this
is this is very very tough life here for this person.
