Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number three, our number three,
And we begin this hour with the big injury news
on the comeback trail. What do you have to say
to the shutdown Bengal quarterback Joe Burrow for the season?
Crowd Burrow is now eligible. The return is supposed to

(00:22):
be back on Thanksgiving. Some people upset by that. Also,
why in the world would the Browns even consider playing
Deshaun Watson as QB number one? We'll talk about that.
And in college football, why is Brian Kelly unwilling to
give LSU some kind of deal on the buyout? His
lawyer said, we want the full amount. We'll talk about

(00:45):
that and more right now here it is our number three,
not exactly the welcome whacken for a start of return.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air em where fellow taxpayers,

(01:09):
as we are getting back to the basics, unless we
don't cost coast border to moorter in beyond on the
vast and ginormously powerful microphones of fs are emmundating live
from the cad the vintage coin operated arcade. As you

(01:32):
put a quarter in and you're gonna get a hot take.
Spit right back out from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Jerome and Charleston and Big
Greg in Iowa. They both know that this portion of
the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in part
by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers like Hollering James find the

(01:55):
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and free. That's right back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
ract dot Com Away tire buying showy. So our lead

(02:16):
this hour is from Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow he's back.
What kind of Burrow returned to the practice field with
the Bengals some light workouts on Monday, opening up. I
know you're excited about this. The twenty one day window,
a window to the world twenty one day window for

(02:38):
Joe Burrow, the franchise quarterback who eventually returned to QB
one status with the Cincinnati football team. So the reaction
has been, what did you see this? No, So, Burrow
is eligible to be activated during the three weeks and
the Bengals are three and six. They've lost six of

(02:59):
seven games since Burrow had a little snap crackle pop
for Breakfast, suffered the toe injury in the game mid
September that required surgery. Turf toe doesn't sound that bad
until you realize how effed up your entire foot is
based on how messed up your toe is. So Fox's

(03:20):
Jay Glazer, who very rarely anymore breaks any stories, but
Jay Glazer had the story. He said that Burrow will return,
schedule to return week sixteen. Cincinnati will play on Thanksgiving Night,
Thanksgiving Night against Baltimore, and according to Jay Glazer, the

(03:41):
word is that Burrow will be playing. And the sum
are upset by this and some of the pundits fans,
I don't know what's real and not anymore. They were
complaining on the matrix. It's not right. They want Joe
Burrow shut down. They want but them on and shut
down the It's not going to be safe for Joe Burrow.

(04:06):
It's not. Here's Joe Burrow. But he chimed in on
coming back and playing, and the Bengals a bad record
and all that, and here's Burrow.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, you know, our division is wide open. I think
Pittsburgh's five and four at this point. We play them
this week, so you know, everything is still there in
front of us. Very rare that our division looks like this,
but it does this year, and you know, I think
we'll be at least in it until the end. I
think it would be very difficult for us to be
a wildcard team at this point. Obviously a lot of
a lot of football to be played, but you know,

(04:35):
I think that's difficult. I think our best path would
be win the division.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, so let me translate that. Joe Burrow says that
the Cincinnati Bengals play in a division that has pooped
to the right. They have vomit to the left, and
they've got a little do do on the other side.
That's the division. And so he said, hey, we're in
good shape three and six and again. But to me,
the story is the fact that this is another thing

(05:00):
that has changed in my lifetime for years ago. Oh,
the star player is gonna come back. This is exciting,
this is great. And the reaction seems to be, no,
we want Joe Burrow shut down. We like Flacco protect
Joe Burrow. It's a wasted season. And so that's the
jumping off point on this, So let us discuss the question,
what do you have to say to the shut him

(05:24):
down crowd, the Joe Burrow should not play crowd, shut
him down for the season. What do you have to
say to those people? So on this one, I've got
mister Freeze, schoolhouse rock, and king size bed, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are

(05:44):
gonna make the Gabba Ghul. We're gonna make the Gobba
ghoul is what we're going to do. So first of all,
I have free words to the people that would like
Joe Burrow to not play football again this season. And
I'll be fair. I'm not gonna be a douche. My
three words are get a life. Those are my three words.

(06:08):
Just I'm so sick of this. I am like, this
is the it's the NFL. You're gonna get hit, You're
gonna get knocked around. And it's not some kind of
sewing class. You're not knitting a sweater, You're not. It's
Football's never going to be safe enough to play, never

(06:30):
gonna be safe enough. That the whole conversation is absurd.
With the capital A. Burrow turns twenty nine next month, now,
twenty nine is not old. Twenty nine is young. But
in the sports world, and when you play in the NFL,
despite a few outliers, normally speaking, your prime athletic years

(06:51):
are from twenty seven to thirty two and then it's
a slow decline. So it's not like we're talking about
some kind of rookie quarterback here. It's not like he
has another ten years in the NFL. He's unlikely that Burrow,
based on the amount of injuries he's already had, is
going to play until he's in his late thirties. You
have a finite window of opportunity. We all know that,

(07:14):
right You have a finite window of opportunity, maybe three
or four more really good years for Joe Burrow, and
then it's it's a little downward dog, our little downward
dog yoga. So the idea that some of you idiots
have that we're just gonna save Joe Burrow for later,

(07:34):
We're gonna put him on layaway for later, it's just
fantasyland is all it is. Later does not exist in
that business. It does not exist. And some of these
people act like you can just flip a switch and
turn on mister Freeze and freeze Joe Burrow in a

(07:56):
cryogenic chamber somewhere, and then when you think you've got
the perfect roster, you just flip the switch and you
unfreeze Ta da Joe Burrow, just like that, and all
of a sudden he comes back and everything's great. Spoiler alert,
spiler alert. It's never ever going to be like that.
It's not gonna be perfect. Your offensive line is never

(08:18):
gonna be the greatest offensive line of the world. Your
defense is never gonna be a top five defense. At
the same time, he'll never be totally healthy. The roster's
not gonna be completely healthy. So stop stop. You play
when you can play. I was gonna say play to
win the game, but you play when you can play.
The Bengals don't win very many games. They don't. And

(08:40):
so if Burrow feels like he can play, and he's
being paid a lot of money, the doctors have cleared
Joe Burrow to come back and play, go play. Would
you rather watch Joe Burrow Joe flackle? I would rather
watch Joe Burrow. That's the mountain I'm gonna die on.
That's it. And stop with the wrap him in bubble
wrap bull crap. That is out. I just don't want

(09:02):
to hear it. It's nonsense. I don't know me it
is Joe Flacco, I don't It's a fun little store.
It's a cute little story. Joe Flacco is wearing dad
jeans and should be driving a tractor somewhere cutting the lawn,
drinking beers on a Sunday, watching footballs instead playing in
the NFL. Grandpa, Joe, I think it's quite fine. Okay,

(09:25):
good raw Raw. The Bengals gave bro where they give
two hudred seventy five million or something like that. They
didn't give him that money. This cinema on the bench
is the highest paid rehab patient in the history of rehab?
Is that is that? Joe Burrow? So, you, generally speaking,
do not get greatness. You don't get greatness by hiding

(09:49):
from risk. It's a lot of people that want to hide,
and that's not good. That is not good. And see
that's a bit of a different situation way the old
school guys they played, fans wanted them to play. At
some point there was a glitch in the matrix. And

(10:12):
I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but the wussification
of the sporting world took over, and you've got an
entire generation of fans that are terrified that something might
go wrong to their star player, and they need to
coddle their star player. They need to baby their star player.
Oh my god, the star player might get hurt. Oh my,

(10:34):
it's so stupid, it's so dumb. Guess what. Things always
go wrong. That's life, that is life, that's what happens.
And somethin in football they go wrong more than other sports.
So just get out there and play. Get out there
and play. And yeah, why don't we just well shut

(10:56):
Burrow down. We'll put them on the freeze and we'll
put them on and then we'll bring him back in
twenty thirty. We'll have a few drafts. We'll draft some
offensive linemen, some defensive players, and we'll be ready to go.
And if Burrow can't play by them, we'll just play
AI Joe Burrow. We'll play an avatar, an avvy of
Joe Burrow, and we'll have AI and it'll be fine,

(11:16):
and he can debut in the metaverse. Of course, that
won't be around either all right. Now. Secondly, we stay
in the Buckeye State and we honor the great Dick
and Dayton a legend, allegend. So Brown's head coach Kevin
Stefanski surprising many randomly after the Browns somehow did the impossible.

(11:39):
They lost to the New York Jets, and the Jets
don't have a quarterback. It's like losing a race in
the sky and it was a ghost plane. The Jets
are essentially a ghost jet. They don't have a quarterback anyway,
Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski hinting that at quarterback DeShawn Watson,

(12:04):
the creepy quarterback, could be back soon, developing hot dot
dot dot yes, much like Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson inching
closer to a return. Okay, question for the panel of judges.
Why in the world, Why in the world would the

(12:26):
Cleveland Browns even consider for a millisecond, for a millisecond,
playing Deshaun Watson, like, why would you do that? All right?
So my theory on this it is the Cleveland Browns
announcing yet again that they believe in the classic schoolhouse Rock.

(12:48):
All right, schoolhouse Rock conjunction junction. What is your function
and your function is dysfunction junction? That is what it is,
right that Watson got forty six million dollars per year, garanteed,
garanteed forty six million dollars in salary a year, no

(13:12):
trade clause. Check. He's got a no trade clause emotional
range of a houseplant. Check check. Check. That's what he's got.
That's Deshaun Watson. So what exactly is the upside? The
only upside I could think of. The only upside would
be the hope. And it's just based on hope that

(13:34):
he would play well enough in a couple of games Watson,
where you can find a bigger idiot to take Watson,
but Watson would have to agree to a trade. He
would likely demand more money. Why would anyone give him
more money? That doesn't make any sense. So even that
is illogical to think that you'd play him, he'd play well,

(13:57):
and then you could convince some dumb dumb like the
Arizona Cardinals or someone like the Raiders to take to
Shaan Watson on and you get a conditional fifth round
draft pick or something like that. If you hallucinate, I
guess you could get that. It is the multiverse, So
there's somewhere there. Clearly the people in the Browns organization

(14:19):
that are going down that road, even contemplating for a
second that you can take to Shaan Watson and play
him for a couple games and flip him. You're out
there smoking the cactus, the payote variety there Cleveland's latest
art installment. It's the Factory of Sadness and if you

(14:39):
look at it, they've added a layer there and the
layer at the factor of sadness is a cloud of
toxic smoke. Very toxic it is, and you can actually
see the plume of smoke over Lake Erie. It's not
very aesthetically pleasing, but there it is. And so Watson's return,

(14:59):
even Strip Club John would be offended by this. It
would contaminate further. The Browns franchise, the front office, the
water supply, everything, and he's essentially a super fund site
at quarterback. That is Deshaun Watsons. You need a hazmat

(15:20):
suit is what you need to go near the huddle.
You need a little bit of that. And regardless though
this is the Browns and again dysfunction junction, what's your function?
That's it. Every year the Browns promise that they're going
to clean things up, and this year is going to
be different. Everything will be fine. We're good to go. Okay,
we're good to go. Good, good to hear. I love that.
And then every year they add another layer of a

(15:42):
chemical league. Very consistent, very consistent. It is the Ben
Maule Show. Now the final fought. Here we go to
college football, quick way, go to college foot well, the
reason we go to college football. We have a follow
up follow up in the state of Louisiana. Brian Ketney.
He's our football coach, Brian Kelly. Now that era may

(16:04):
be ov R for LSUS. I just yelled out a
bunch of letters. But however, the school is still dealing
with the migraine headache of trying to figure out the
financial ramifications of whacking the coach that you gave the
forever contract to. There's a fifty three million dollar buyout,

(16:28):
the second largest in college football history. Holy Jimbo Fisher Batman, yep,
fifty three million. So what do you think happened? LSU said, Hey, Brian, listen,
we like you, We're glad that we hired user coach.
Why don't we work out a deal and we'll give

(16:49):
you some money, shave off a little money, how about that? Yeah?
I don't know let's shave out like twenty million dollars.
That's fine, you don't need twenty million dollars. You're good
on it. You're good on that. Okay, good, yes, okay.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
No.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Brian Kelly's lawyers have informed LSU. We are told that
he wants the school to fulfill its contractual obligation. That
is a lawyer that wrote that the contractual, the contractual
obligation that he signed with the school there to pay
him in baton rouge the full liquidated damages. Now this

(17:25):
after there were two separate offers. There was one offer
you talk about having hutzbut twenty five million dollars LS.
You said, we'll pay a twenty five million, that's it.
And then they came back and said, okay, how about
thirty million. So just leave twenty three million on the
table and you're good to go. We're good to go.
So the question on this, why is Brian Kelly unwilling

(17:50):
to give LSU a deal on the buyout? All right? So,
because even though he pretended to be a country bumpkin,
he is not a country bumpkin. Even tiger Man knows that. Yeah,
he was just acting, he was just doing cosplay. When
he said that, Hey, you know, I'm from the South.

(18:13):
He remember the Southern accent and all that stuff. And
this is a Jim Calhoun store. If you remember Jim Calhoun,
maybe not. He used to be the coach at Yukon
back when people watched college basketball, and he had a
famous ran. Not a dime back, not a dime, not
a dime at LSU. What they did is they made
a king sized bed of golden nails, a giant king

(18:34):
sized bed, California king sized bed of golden nails. And
it was just glorious. And they paid the man with
the fake accent, the country club arrogance, all of that,
The fake country bumpkin paid him. And now because they

(18:54):
made that king sized bed with all those golden nails,
they're the ones that have to lie on that bed.
How's the bed feel? How's it feel? Full freight, baby,
full freight. Not a dimeback. So this is known as
death Valley. Baton rouge night games in Louisiana. Oh Man
crowd goes wild. However, it's now debt Valley. It's debt

(19:18):
Valley because there's a lot of debt there. Now, they
supposedly have a booster that's willing to pay the full amount,
although it sounds like they were trying to cut a
deal anyway despite having the booster. Good luck on that.
And yeah, this is the no money back guarantee that
you gave him. You gave him a no bunny back guarantee,
Brian Kelly. And you can't say we didn't like your

(19:39):
fake twaying and that's why we don't want you. And
according to the interweb, the only way that LSU could
get out of this is claiming there was some kind
of morals clause violation, that there was a breach of morality. However,
in order for that to happen, you have to have
some serious evidence and you have to to be able

(20:00):
to prove it. And you would think if LSU had
some of that, we would have heard about it by now.
We have not. And he's sitting somewhere Brian Kelly, counting
his occasion buyout money, probably probably saying y'all, y'all, because
you know it's got to be when you're doing the
fake Southern thing. I say, y'all. You know, his cocktail,

(20:22):
napkin and all that stuff and just having a grand
old time and got to be the greatest gig in America.
People say, the greatest job in America is this that
you know, the greatest job in America is to sign
a multi year, multi million dollar contract. Be so bad
at your job you lose the job in a couple
of years, and they just keep paying you and paying
you and paying you, and you're failing. You get paid.

(20:46):
You never have to work again. And that's where we are.
And the LSU, the LSU dopes, the administrators at LSU,
they made this mess. They're the ones. That's your quagmire.
You're the one that made the quagmi. That's on you.
And Brian Kelly's laughing away. He's got his golden parachute

(21:06):
and not a dimeback, not a dime. It is the

This is not gibberish. If you want to contribute, say
ask a normal question.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Okay, all right, so you do not want to address that,
very nice? All right, Let's say hello to John in Maine. Hello, John, welcome,
You're on Fox Sports Radio, John.

Speaker 9 (29:40):
Play man, how are you doing tonight?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
If I was any better, I would not have taken
Steven Manhattan's phone call, but I have so here I am.
It's amazing.

Speaker 9 (29:52):
First off, I hope everybody has a safe veteran's day.
And also the Packers when they signed Michael Parsons, there
was no excuse for them not having a great season,
and they just seem like they're making up excuses or whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, they're pretty pretty mediocre. They're not great. It's not
a great season. It's not terrible. It's not over, but
they're not very good.

Speaker 9 (30:24):
They just they were trying to get too fancy or
something like that, like they're trying to show boat and
everything else to show off all their talent instead of
just line up and jam it down.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
People throw yeah, no here, it's not good. Well, well
we'll have to check in. Unfortunately, if you if you
own stock in the Packers, you don't have any voting rights,
so you don't get to vote on any of this. Unfortunately,
would it be great? How cool would it be? There
are five hundred thirty eight thousand shareholders of the Green

(30:56):
Bay Packers. How awesome would it be if they voted
every year to side? If the coach and the GM
and the quarterback stay. Wouldn't that be great? That'd be awesome.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
Oh I don't want the I love Matt Lafour and
everything else like that. But like I said, they're trying
to look like they're trying to take the team down
Broadway and go on Broadway instead of just doing their jobs.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
They are definitely there, definitely as you know, far away
from Broadway in Greenville, like the big city's Appleton and
it ain't very big. So yeah, that what's doing?

Speaker 9 (31:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I grew up in Wisconsin, so all right, well my brother,
my brother lives there, so I'm I'm familiar with it,
but I didn't grow up there. But I hear you,
all right, but nothing to add. Steve Onpacker Talk, Steven Manhattan,
Steve O.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Well, first of all, I don't know he's from Wisconsin.
He gets called up there. But they they can trade
the pack of stocks. They just can't make any money.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
No, No, they can't, they can't. They're not you're not
allowed to trade it. There is no divid in, there's
no voting rights, and it's non transferable. It's just it's
essentially a souvenir. But they call a stock.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
But you can buy you can vote if you bought
enough of that stock. You can vote in the in
the stockhos.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
You have no you have no meaningful voting rights. You don't.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
Yeah, they gave them to because I'm blind. Though they
weren't good a question. Then they're not like they're not
from the United States, so they don't know the difference
who's a veteran and who's not. Steve, are you a veteran?
Who to be taking?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
