Boom, shaka laka. It's our number four and a happy
Monday to you. It's the Ben Malors Show podcast on
this eighteenth day of August. And in this hour number four,
are you okay? With Raider rookie running back Ashton Genty
announcing that he's arrived in an NFL exhibition game. Also,
(00:23):
Tom Brady showed up to the Raiders game a practice
game and a smooth, shiny white starter jacket old school
Raider logo on it. Of course, it went viral. How
did that hit you? And Bill Belichick is already ducking
out of the North Carolina Coaches radio show, even though
(00:44):
he hasn't yet partaked in said radio show. What is
your reaction to that? Will go there as well? Right
now here it is, have a wonderful start to your
week on this Monday. It's our number four. A stars boy,
Well maybe not just asking. I'll tell you the welcome.
(01:04):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.

(02:30):
from Football Lost Wages, No Bad, A lot of buzz,
a lot of buzz over the weekend. Star is born.
A star is born in an exhibition game. So if
you didn't see this, and the highlight was everywhere, if
you pay any attention to the NFL, you likely even
if you're blind, you saw it. Rookie running back Ashton
(02:52):
Genty from the Great State of Idaho at least collegiately
in Boise State, Ashton Genty announced to the world, I'm here.
I'm here, a moment captured in time, Frozen in time
against the forty nine ers. Over the weekend, Raiders played
the forty nine ers there, delivering a couple of big plays.
(03:15):
There's some big hits also, he announced after the game,
he said, I I've arrived. That was his quote, I've arrived.
After the game, he had a touchdown in the game.
Geno Smith, who for some reason is still a starting
quarterback in the NFL. Geno Smith said Genty, he's going
to be a special player. Now what does that mean?
(03:38):
Does that mean like special good? Does that mean he's
going to be driving, you know, in the back of
the short bush. I don't know, but he said a
special player. So let us discuss the question. The question
is this. Are you okay with the Raider rookie running
back Ashton Genty? Are you okay with Ashton Genty announcing
quote He's arrived in the NFL after an exhibition game.
(04:03):
So I've got Van go Zoolander and double Bubble, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make a big helping of Baba ganooche, so
get the eggplant ready for the Baba gushe so to
kick off here, Like the whole concept of announcing one's
(04:23):
arrival is rather absurd. Like you're not an airport the airport.
You announce a plane has arrived. You don't announce you right,
because other people will announce it for you. If you're
the real deal, there will be people that will announce, oh,
my god, did you see this running back? Oh, he's
so good. You don't have to be the one announcing it.
(04:44):
And also, by the way, it is August. It is
the month of August. And you know what that means,
all right, the month of August. Football in the month
of August. It is the equivalent to rehearsing your lines,
to practicing your lines in the high school auditorium and
then declaring that you are now ready for Broadway, not
off Broadway, Broadway. You are preparer. Nobody's giving out a
(05:08):
Tony Award for August football for a dress rehearsal in August.
It doesn't matter how many big plays, how many chunk
plays you have, doesn't matter. Now that being said, I
did see the clips, I did not watch the Raider
forty nine or exhibition game. But I did see the
clips and he looked he looked the part. Congratulations. He's
(05:30):
got some bursts to his game, much like he did
in college. And he trucked the guy. That was the
highlight that went viral. And it's the kind of thing
that you would expect to see from a player drafted
in the top ten of the draft. Now, I would
never draft a running back in the top ten the
Raiders did. Seems like a archaic pick by the Raiders,
(05:51):
but they did it, and so fine. I'd also say,
take a deep breath, get a paper bag out if
you have to, don't hyperventilate. Ashton genty scored eight touch
down in an exhibition game against backups. We congratulations. Right.
It's akin to someone winning at the claw machine at
the arcade, at the pizza parlor. You win a stuffy
(06:15):
at the arcade and saying, all right, I'm ready, let's
go now to the belagio. I'm ready to gamble. Put
me in, coach, I'm ready to play, put me in.
I'm gonna play some poker.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
The big difference, obviously, is you don't arrive and you
don't announce you arrived. You never announce you've arrived, But
you don't arrive in general until the lights are on
in September. Then, man, that's something different. Now, when people
are grilling hot dogs in the parking lot and the
(06:47):
starters are walking around the sidelines in flip flops looking
to do some cliche field interview, you do not announce
your revival at that particular point. And we're talking about
practice again, not a game, not a game. Practice, And
so this is a dummy run key emphasis on dummy
capital d dummy run. Nothing counts. The only thing that
(07:10):
can happen that you carry into the regular season is
snap crackle pop. That's it, right, snap crackle pop. That's all.
Now the time that you can announce your arrival or
someone will announce it for you. If you're a guy
like Ashton Genty is at Arrowhead lighting up in the
second quarter, lighting up the Raiders opponent, the division rival
(07:36):
of the Chiefs. At that point you're like, okay, running
over the linebackers and the safety for the Chiefs, then
you got some. But playing a preseason game against a
team from Santa Clara does not do that, right, It doesn't.
It's like a third grade play. It would be like
(07:58):
Van Go van Go saying you great things are done
by a series of small things brought together. Right, so
you get over and over. You gotta do it over
and over and over again. Or Aristotle or whoever, you know,
whatever famous person just tagged the quote to them, and
that's it. But we are what we repeatedly do, right,
that's an Aristotle quote. You are the actions that you
(08:19):
repeatedly do, and so excellence becomes a habit. But you
don't get you don't get to announce that. That's the problem.
It's a one off exhibition game against a bunch of
backups for the forty nine ers ra Ashton genty. Now, furthermore,
speaking of the Raiders, there was another story from the
team in Las Vegas that got my attention. That evolves
(08:42):
the owner. I say that besmirchingly the de facto owner.
He doesn't actually own the Raiders. He owns a small
piece of the Raiders. We're talking about Tom Brady. Now,
Tom Brady, who has a statue in Foxborough. He showed
up to the Raider exhibit game in a smooth and
(09:03):
shiny like white old school starter jacket. He was rocking
the glasses. He had the Raider logo on the back
of it, of course, and he went viral this vintage,
this vintage jacket that Tom Brady was wearing. So how
did that hit you? How did the Tom Brady just
showing up to an exhibition game as the Raiders owner,
(09:26):
and how did that all hit you? The look so
Brady looked like he was strutting down the catwalk and
he was about to do a pirouette at fashion Week,
which we know he goes to. Now, no lies, by
the way, no lies about this. Tom Brady looked more
like a runway model. Okay, then he did a football
(09:48):
owner and it's still bizarre. So I know it's been
over a year now, but it's so bizarre that Tom
Brady's out there. He looks more like a Raider at
than Raider's own, watching him prance around and all that stuff.
And I know the NFL is all about those male cheerleaders,
so maybe Brady can do a kick line. You know,
(10:09):
he just needs the pom poms and he'll be good
to go and put him out there. But part of me,
it looked like he was channeling Al Davis, the greatness
of alreadies like the ghost of Al Davis. He was
sitting there and saying, just win, baby, just win baby.
Of course, the Raiders haven't won in a generation. And
Brady's got that slick white jacket on, and he's got
(10:34):
the glitz of Vegas and the whole thing, and he's
all he needed. All he needed was that old school
overhead projector and he could get some slides out and
do an Al Davis like slide show and that's all
he needed. And a chain for his glasses, those two things.
(10:55):
But here's the reality of the situation here, Tom Brady again,
he looks like he does not belong and I don't
know how that's ever going to change. I guess he
does it long enough as the facto fake Raiders owner
will get used to it. But I mean, he's part owner.
How do the Patriots not allow Brady to own part
(11:19):
of the New Zland, the whole thing with Robert Kraft,
I know, the Kraft family, that's the family business and
all that stuff, and they don't want to give up
any power. And it's just bizarre, right they could have
handed Brady a little slice of the pie. It's a
little slice of the pie. They gave him the statue,
they gave him a little red jacket and all that stuff,
franchise legend for the Patriots, and it's it's odd. It's
(11:44):
just the Raiders look like they're with Tom Brady out
there all right. Watching Tom Brady show up to these
games as Raiders owner. It looks like they're trying to
turn him into Zoolander. And he's got the jacket, he's
got the look, you know, the whole thing there, and
it's he's about to give us that that blue steel thing.
(12:07):
It's just the whole thing's comical. The whole thing's coming.
And uh and the greatest quarterback ever. Now Tom Brady
reduced to looking like he's auditioning for a vagan Little
Vegas residency there at some cheeseball hotel off the strip,
not on the strip, but off the strip. And he
(12:27):
can perform next to carrat top and inside by side,
and he would carrat Top would do the props and
then Brady would do his own props. He would have
like the TV twelve method lot from off the strip,
the Rio with Tom Brady runway model for the Raiders. Sorry, now,
last thing. We go now to Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
(12:51):
Where's Pecoli podcast? Pecoli hangs out formerly listening overnight, but
now he's back to the dreaded day shift. So I
saw that Bill Belichick. I don't know if you saw.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Bill Belichick is already. Belichick already ducking out of the
responsibilities he has at North Carolina for his weekly radio show,
as it was announced that he will not be partaking
for the balance of the college football season, which begins
in a few days. So what is your reaction to that?
(13:25):
So Tom Brady is out there doing his thing with
the Raiders, and you got Belichick doing his thing in
North Carolina, and they're both for Gayzy, is what it is.
On this one. You've got Belichick who's in his early
seventies I guess now mid seventies, who it wasn't ounced
he will appear on the very first episode of the
(13:46):
Coaches Show, which is coming up there in nine days,
but will not be on the show again. So he's
one and done if you believe the reports out of
North Carolina, which is typical. It is typical for Bill
Belichick because this is the guy who spent not one
but two decades in Foxborough, treating the media like double
(14:09):
bubble gum that was stuck to the shoe, to the
sole of your shoe. There, he's got that cotton candy
bubble gum. And Belichick was forced contractually to appear on
sports radio every week when he coached the Patriots. The
Patriot coach contractually has to pop up on local sports
radio in Boston, and so he added, do that. Now
(14:32):
he's in North Carolina, I don't have to do that anymore.
I'm not doing that. But the other thing which is
so great is he gets whacked as coach of the Patriots.
Belichick forcefully removed as coach of the Patriots, and suddenly
he's mister nice guy with the media. He's the friendliest coach.
He's telling stories, he's smiling, he's engaging. He's showing up
(14:52):
in the air everywhere with the NFL media establishment. From
weekly appearances on The Manning Cast, he goes on Pat
McAfee and plays grab ass with the tank Top bros.
Over there on McAfee show. Why well, it's obvious image rehab.
Like image rehab, he was trying to play the game.
(15:15):
That was what Belichick needed to do. He did it.
He got done with it, and then that's it. Now
that he's got the gig, not a great gig. It's
a gig, not a great gig. At North Carolina. Now
he's got the gig, he's got absolute power, so much power.
His floozy girlfriend is now in charge of a bunch
of stuff at North Carolina, and so he goes old school.
(15:37):
He's like, I'm going to bring the dark energy here.
I hate the peasants. I cannot stand the peasants. And
all of a sudden, Belichick is too busy, he's too
important to be bothered with his weekly radio show, and
so he's going to send Michael Lombardi hit consiglieri. Michael
Lombardi will be the one that does the weekly radio appearance.
(15:59):
It's like Tony Soprano, Like Tony Soprano sending in silvio
to handle the sit downs. It's like, yeah, you take
care of it. I get that's essentially at Belichick's like, hey,
thanks for ley pr boost, thank you for helping me
keep my name out there, and now get lost. It's weak.
It's Capital W week and that's it. And the irony
(16:21):
is that college football, unlike the NFL, college football is
all about the fan, which is code for the booster.
You need the booster. You need the booster to bankroll
the donation, which is pay to the players. Right, the
nil deals are all bankrolled by fans who own businesses
(16:43):
that are representing the university and want to give back
to the university. And so the money people, that is
what drives everything in college football. And Belichick's like, no,
And instead of being out there kissing their tukis and
that's what you're supposed to be doing, shaking hands, taking photos,
signing autographs, all that stuff, Belichick's already hiding in his cave.
(17:06):

Stranger things have happened. You never know, ALF could happen.
(20:18):
And I came this close last year to meeting Alf.
We had the TV show. We were in Boston. I
went out late at night there and in the rain
and met some fans of the show, and Alf was
gonna drive over. He lives kind of far away there,
and then there was a big like the remnants of
a hurricane tropical storm, so he decided not to not
(20:40):
to go, choosing life over over the meeting, which is
probably the right choice to make. I would say, although
Masshole Mickey made the other decision, then you know he
unfortunately he left us, but we love Masshole Mickey a
show legend. Let's go to the phones. We'll say lo
to eeny meenie miney mode. Let's go to blind Scott
on the north end of Boston. Hello, Blindes guy, and
(21:01):
JJ from Renton is back. We'd like to alert all
the affiliates. JJ from Renton is one of the great
characters on the show, and he's returned to the live
show after working in the day shift.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, I'll take it from here. He's back. He was
worked in the swing shift for a while and he's
returned to the night shifties, and he's wondered how the
show has transformed. He obviously had to been listening in
the past couple of years. Dude, that was at Bolva
earlier and they were remembering the great meat and greet.
I was going to say, dude, Alf lives one hundred
miles away from my Boston. If you didn't know that
(21:33):
it's hot, that would be quite the trip. If he
actually did come, I don't think he can come to Boston.
You know what I'm saying, not allowed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That is Alf banned from the far.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
He had to drive two hundre it would be twent miles.
I've talked to him. It'd be twent miles round trip.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Really, I was like that far. I didn't realize it
was that far. No idea.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Yeah, he's in Springfield. It's like, I mean, I didn't
know white people living in Springs Fland either, Dude. One
other thing this weekend was the Fisherman's Festival, and they
had the African musical Sensible. So there's all these fishermen
walking around in Boston and all these African musical people.
It was pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
A lot one other thing too, Like you mentioned Atlanta, Lorena.
So obviously we work in the business, you know, we know.
So like if you know somebody in the business, and
I know someone in the business, you want, like Rick Ross,
you want to go to Atlanta. I understand that. So
I knew this guy at ninety nine X in Atlanta,
like a huge, huge music station in Atlanta. He used
(22:28):
to work there. He was a big voice in Atlanta.
You know, Atlanta sucks now though they ruined that city,
the people there, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Ruined the city. I know, what's his name, Our buddy,
Jerome Renovitch is he's retired now, the old Braves broadcaster.
He's living in Atlanta. I met Tommy in Atlanta. He
showed up to the meet and read the Great Tommy
in Atlanta. A couple of years ago.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
They ruined the bussing system in Atlanta just fell apart.
You can't get around for the city.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And that's why we can't go, Lorenda. We can't market that.
We can't go to Boston because the bussing in Atlanta.
The boss, the Atlanta busing is messed up. So we
can't go to.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
That garden security. I know the Bosting guarded security. They
listened to the show, so they have cameras, but they
can see me show up. It has like face identification.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You can't see them.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Yeah, they'll come outside. They said they're the biggest the
world's biggest stitches. I was eating out of the buffet
in the garden and they in order they can't call
the police, they have to call the guard and security.
So when the guard security shows up, it's me there.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
But you can play the blind You play the blind card.
They can't really do anything because you're blind. You can't.
What are they gonna do?
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Drag in the court. Like one time, I win s.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Being a freeloading though my friend the Great Sports with Coleman.
There was a big golf tournament in Baltimore this week
and the FedEx playoff thing, BMW Championship whatever, and so
he's out there. It was one of the great freeloader events.
As he was sending me, he was sending me pictures
(23:58):
of the spread and this guy, people say, I'm a
free letter. Back in then Sports with Coleman would show
up have breakfast, to have a buffet breakfast, go home,
and then come back for lunch. He didn't even watch
the golf. I mean what, I'm a sugar, My.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
God, Hardy went to Augusta before he's listening now he's
driving to work. He was just on vacation in North
Carolina at his mother's house for a week. Talk about torture, you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Know, horror, horror, dude.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
One other thing though, who's going to Baltimore for a
golf tournament? He was probably the only one there, the
only media member there.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You know what, Yes, no one lives in Baltimore. That's it.
He's the only one there. That's it. Now, golf they
do do it right. I covered one years ago. I
covered a PGA championship at Riviera and unreal, they rolled
out the red cover. Now, you have multiple options when
(24:54):
you cover as a reporter in golf. You could either
watch it on television in an air conditioned tank with
free food. You could walk the course, right, you could
do that, there's that option, and then you could you
could also just stay at one hole as opposed to
you can follow golfers around, right, some people do that.
You can stay at one hole and just see the
(25:15):
golfers as they come past you. But what a life man,
those people that cover golf, that is you live in
the King's life. Let's say a lot of hollering James
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James, no sleeping.

You're a jungle guy. Marcel from Jim Rome show back

Speaker 4 (31:26):
All for many is I saw Jim Rome back in
the nineties. Why I'm watching the first word or to last?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right? Uh, yes, thank you for that. Unbelievable what
a what a segment of radio right to the Hall
of Fame. That's going to go. So, Shane Steichen, you
don't know who that is. He's the head coach of
the Indianapolis Colts and he's supposed to announce in the
next couple of days, probably today, who the starting quarterback
is going to be for the Colts. The problem is
(31:54):
they don't have a starting quarterback. They got two stiffs
at quarterback, the quarterback rivalry between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
A decision is likely coming later today or the next
couple of days, and Shane Sykin would not reveal his hand. However, However,
he did say a rather large hint. He dropped a
(32:15):
rather large hint on who the Colts quarterback is going
to be the coach of the Colts, saying that the
person who is more consistent would get the job. Okay,
so that means that Danny Dimes is going to be
the QB one for the Indianapolis Colts. That is a
(32:37):
dead giveaway, dead giveaway if you not that he's good,
because Daniel Jones is not good, but he's certainly more consistent.
Side by side, Let's go to Cowboy John Brad in Windsor, Ontario, Canada,
a fine Canadian lad. Hello Cowboy John Brad.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And Ben oh Scott Baroll was sixty t twenty ninth,
but fifty eight years ago today the Angels right now
and pitcher Jack Hamilton, Dean Boston, Red Frox star outfielder
Tony Conigliero, which pretty much ruined Coniglio's career. We had
one good year afterwards, in nineteen seventy and they died
(33:19):
almost exactly twenty eight years ago, twenty eight years apart. Coniglio,
I believe had a heart attack on February twenty sixth,
twenty twenty fourth, nineteen ninety, two days before my father
passed Awais and Hamilton died on February twenty second, twenty eighteen,
(33:39):
which was about five months before my sister Karen died.
And also Roberto Clemente and American tracks Rafer Johnson were
both born August eighteenth, nineteen thirty four, but they're no longer.
Around one hundred and five years ago. Yesterday was in
Baseball's own the death due to an on field accident
(34:03):
because Brol Mays. The day before that he had been
Ray Chapman, the Cleveland Indian short stuff, and Chapman died
of a skull factor. That was August seventeenth, nineteen twenty. Bootball,
the old slugger was eighty four yesterday. See Kenny Wester
(34:26):
was a singer. He was a singer actress was ninety
one Saturday, yes and let's see all people died on
August sixteenth, delve into that time. As the week goes on. Anyways,
remember you got to be a boy, to be a cowboy.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We all bite there, he goes cowboy John Brett. That
bit never gets old. Made a bunch of people dead.
Cowboy will change it up, He'll say, and this child
was born today, and this kid's going to become But
some point, this kid will become an overnight talk radio call.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Kay, I don't think I've ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, he'll change it up at some point he will.
So the bug problem. If you're watching last night on Fox,
what a dog food game? This was exhibition football between
Buffalo and Chicago. The Bills decided to take the night
off there and not compete even the backups, but they
debut the new Fox Bug, the score Bug on Fox,
(35:28):
and as always, whenever you change anything, people complain, complain, complain, complain.
It's a bare bone score bug, and people complaining it
does not enough there. There's not enough there there complaining
about it. I thought it was fine. Whatever. I don't
I'm flipping around so much on Sunday anyway, I'm not
(35:49):
sitting there focused on the score bug, and I'm certainly
not gonna kind of complain about it that much because
it's like I'm flipping from game to game. I've got
seventeen bets. I'm worried about it. I'm not worried about
the score bug, but it is much different, much different
than what they had used in the past. But that's
the way it goes.
Speaker 8 (36:08):
Well like it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm okay with that. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Joe and Rhode Islands? Oh thank you? I was gonna
is this u Joe in Rhode Island? Hell Joe.
Speaker 7 (36:18):

(36:39):
reason why I quote these guys that are quote let

Speaker 8 (36:51):
Don't understand this.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
I don't you know what I don't.

Boom, shaka laka. It's our number four and a happy
Monday to you. It's the Ben Malors Show podcast on
this eighteenth day of August. And in this hour number four,
are you okay? With Raider rookie running back Ashton Genty
announcing that he's arrived in an NFL exhibition game. Also,
(00:23):
Tom Brady showed up to the Raiders game a practice
game and a smooth, shiny white starter jacket old school
Raider logo on it. Of course, it went viral. How
did that hit you? And Bill Belichick is already ducking
out of the North Carolina Coaches radio show, even though
(00:44):
he hasn't yet partaked in said radio show. What is
your reaction to that? Will go there as well? Right
now here it is, have a wonderful start to your
week on this Monday. It's our number four. A stars boy,
Well maybe not just asking. I'll tell you the welcome.
(01:04):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.

(02:30):
from Football Lost Wages, No Bad, A lot of buzz,
a lot of buzz over the weekend. Star is born.
A star is born in an exhibition game. So if
you didn't see this, and the highlight was everywhere, if
you pay any attention to the NFL, you likely even
if you're blind, you saw it. Rookie running back Ashton
(02:52):
Genty from the Great State of Idaho at least collegiately
in Boise State, Ashton Genty announced to the world, I'm here.
I'm here, a moment captured in time, Frozen in time
against the forty nine ers. Over the weekend, Raiders played
the forty nine ers there, delivering a couple of big plays.
(03:15):
There's some big hits also, he announced after the game,
he said, I I've arrived. That was his quote, I've arrived.
After the game, he had a touchdown in the game.
Geno Smith, who for some reason is still a starting
quarterback in the NFL. Geno Smith said Genty, he's going
to be a special player. Now what does that mean?
(03:38):
Does that mean like special good? Does that mean he's
going to be driving, you know, in the back of
the short bush. I don't know, but he said a
special player. So let us discuss the question. The question
is this. Are you okay with the Raider rookie running
back Ashton Genty? Are you okay with Ashton Genty announcing
quote He's arrived in the NFL after an exhibition game.
(04:03):
So I've got Van go Zoolander and double Bubble, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make a big helping of Baba ganooche, so
get the eggplant ready for the Baba gushe so to
kick off here, Like the whole concept of announcing one's
(04:23):
arrival is rather absurd. Like you're not an airport the airport.
You announce a plane has arrived. You don't announce you right,
because other people will announce it for you. If you're
the real deal, there will be people that will announce, oh,
my god, did you see this running back? Oh, he's
so good. You don't have to be the one announcing it.
(04:44):
And also, by the way, it is August. It is
the month of August. And you know what that means,
all right, the month of August. Football in the month
of August. It is the equivalent to rehearsing your lines,
to practicing your lines in the high school auditorium and
then declaring that you are now ready for Broadway, not
off Broadway, Broadway. You are preparer. Nobody's giving out a
(05:08):
Tony Award for August football for a dress rehearsal in August.
It doesn't matter how many big plays, how many chunk
plays you have, doesn't matter. Now that being said, I
did see the clips, I did not watch the Raider
forty nine or exhibition game. But I did see the
clips and he looked he looked the part. Congratulations. He's
(05:30):
got some bursts to his game, much like he did
in college. And he trucked the guy. That was the
highlight that went viral. And it's the kind of thing
that you would expect to see from a player drafted
in the top ten of the draft. Now, I would
never draft a running back in the top ten the
Raiders did. Seems like a archaic pick by the Raiders,
(05:51):
but they did it, and so fine. I'd also say,
take a deep breath, get a paper bag out if
you have to, don't hyperventilate. Ashton genty scored eight touch
down in an exhibition game against backups. We congratulations. Right.
It's akin to someone winning at the claw machine at
the arcade, at the pizza parlor. You win a stuffy
(06:15):
at the arcade and saying, all right, I'm ready, let's
go now to the belagio. I'm ready to gamble. Put
me in, coach, I'm ready to play, put me in.
I'm gonna play some poker.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
The big difference, obviously, is you don't arrive and you
don't announce you arrived. You never announce you've arrived, But
you don't arrive in general until the lights are on
in September. Then, man, that's something different. Now, when people
are grilling hot dogs in the parking lot and the
(06:47):
starters are walking around the sidelines in flip flops looking
to do some cliche field interview, you do not announce
your revival at that particular point. And we're talking about
practice again, not a game, not a game. Practice, And
so this is a dummy run key emphasis on dummy
capital d dummy run. Nothing counts. The only thing that
(07:10):
can happen that you carry into the regular season is
snap crackle pop. That's it, right, snap crackle pop. That's all.
Now the time that you can announce your arrival or
someone will announce it for you. If you're a guy
like Ashton Genty is at Arrowhead lighting up in the
second quarter, lighting up the Raiders opponent, the division rival
(07:36):
of the Chiefs. At that point you're like, okay, running
over the linebackers and the safety for the Chiefs, then
you got some. But playing a preseason game against a
team from Santa Clara does not do that, right, It doesn't.
It's like a third grade play. It would be like
(07:58):
Van Go van Go saying you great things are done
by a series of small things brought together. Right, so
you get over and over. You gotta do it over
and over and over again. Or Aristotle or whoever, you know,
whatever famous person just tagged the quote to them, and
that's it. But we are what we repeatedly do, right,
that's an Aristotle quote. You are the actions that you
(08:19):
repeatedly do, and so excellence becomes a habit. But you
don't get you don't get to announce that. That's the problem.
It's a one off exhibition game against a bunch of
backups for the forty nine ers ra Ashton genty. Now, furthermore,
speaking of the Raiders, there was another story from the
team in Las Vegas that got my attention. That evolves
(08:42):
the owner. I say that besmirchingly the de facto owner.
He doesn't actually own the Raiders. He owns a small
piece of the Raiders. We're talking about Tom Brady. Now,
Tom Brady, who has a statue in Foxborough. He showed
up to the Raider exhibit game in a smooth and
(09:03):
shiny like white old school starter jacket. He was rocking
the glasses. He had the Raider logo on the back
of it, of course, and he went viral this vintage,
this vintage jacket that Tom Brady was wearing. So how
did that hit you? How did the Tom Brady just
showing up to an exhibition game as the Raiders owner,
(09:26):
and how did that all hit you? The look so
Brady looked like he was strutting down the catwalk and
he was about to do a pirouette at fashion Week,
which we know he goes to. Now, no lies, by
the way, no lies about this. Tom Brady looked more
like a runway model. Okay, then he did a football
(09:48):
owner and it's still bizarre. So I know it's been
over a year now, but it's so bizarre that Tom
Brady's out there. He looks more like a Raider at
than Raider's own, watching him prance around and all that stuff.
And I know the NFL is all about those male cheerleaders,
so maybe Brady can do a kick line. You know,
(10:09):
he just needs the pom poms and he'll be good
to go and put him out there. But part of me,
it looked like he was channeling Al Davis, the greatness
of alreadies like the ghost of Al Davis. He was
sitting there and saying, just win, baby, just win baby.
Of course, the Raiders haven't won in a generation. And
Brady's got that slick white jacket on, and he's got
(10:34):
the glitz of Vegas and the whole thing, and he's
all he needed. All he needed was that old school
overhead projector and he could get some slides out and
do an Al Davis like slide show and that's all
he needed. And a chain for his glasses, those two things.
(10:55):
But here's the reality of the situation here, Tom Brady again,
he looks like he does not belong and I don't
know how that's ever going to change. I guess he
does it long enough as the facto fake Raiders owner
will get used to it. But I mean, he's part owner.
How do the Patriots not allow Brady to own part
(11:19):
of the New Zland, the whole thing with Robert Kraft,
I know, the Kraft family, that's the family business and
all that stuff, and they don't want to give up
any power. And it's just bizarre, right they could have
handed Brady a little slice of the pie. It's a
little slice of the pie. They gave him the statue,
they gave him a little red jacket and all that stuff,
franchise legend for the Patriots, and it's it's odd. It's
(11:44):
just the Raiders look like they're with Tom Brady out
there all right. Watching Tom Brady show up to these
games as Raiders owner. It looks like they're trying to
turn him into Zoolander. And he's got the jacket, he's
got the look, you know, the whole thing there, and
it's he's about to give us that that blue steel thing.
(12:07):
It's just the whole thing's comical. The whole thing's coming.
And uh and the greatest quarterback ever. Now Tom Brady
reduced to looking like he's auditioning for a vagan Little
Vegas residency there at some cheeseball hotel off the strip,
not on the strip, but off the strip. And he
(12:27):
can perform next to carrat top and inside by side,
and he would carrat Top would do the props and
then Brady would do his own props. He would have
like the TV twelve method lot from off the strip,
the Rio with Tom Brady runway model for the Raiders. Sorry, now,
last thing. We go now to Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
(12:51):
Where's Pecoli podcast? Pecoli hangs out formerly listening overnight, but
now he's back to the dreaded day shift. So I
saw that Bill Belichick. I don't know if you saw.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Bill Belichick is already. Belichick already ducking out of the
responsibilities he has at North Carolina for his weekly radio show,
as it was announced that he will not be partaking
for the balance of the college football season, which begins
in a few days. So what is your reaction to that?
(13:25):
So Tom Brady is out there doing his thing with
the Raiders, and you got Belichick doing his thing in
North Carolina, and they're both for Gayzy, is what it is.
On this one. You've got Belichick who's in his early
seventies I guess now mid seventies, who it wasn't ounced
he will appear on the very first episode of the
(13:46):
Coaches Show, which is coming up there in nine days,
but will not be on the show again. So he's
one and done if you believe the reports out of
North Carolina, which is typical. It is typical for Bill
Belichick because this is the guy who spent not one
but two decades in Foxborough, treating the media like double
(14:09):
bubble gum that was stuck to the shoe, to the
sole of your shoe. There, he's got that cotton candy
bubble gum. And Belichick was forced contractually to appear on
sports radio every week when he coached the Patriots. The
Patriot coach contractually has to pop up on local sports
radio in Boston, and so he added, do that. Now
(14:32):
he's in North Carolina, I don't have to do that anymore.
I'm not doing that. But the other thing which is
so great is he gets whacked as coach of the Patriots.
Belichick forcefully removed as coach of the Patriots, and suddenly
he's mister nice guy with the media. He's the friendliest coach.
He's telling stories, he's smiling, he's engaging. He's showing up
(14:52):
in the air everywhere with the NFL media establishment. From
weekly appearances on The Manning Cast, he goes on Pat
McAfee and plays grab ass with the tank Top bros.
Over there on McAfee show. Why well, it's obvious image rehab.
Like image rehab, he was trying to play the game.
(15:15):
That was what Belichick needed to do. He did it.
He got done with it, and then that's it. Now
that he's got the gig, not a great gig. It's
a gig, not a great gig. At North Carolina. Now
he's got the gig, he's got absolute power, so much power.
His floozy girlfriend is now in charge of a bunch
of stuff at North Carolina, and so he goes old school.
(15:37):
He's like, I'm going to bring the dark energy here.
I hate the peasants. I cannot stand the peasants. And
all of a sudden, Belichick is too busy, he's too
important to be bothered with his weekly radio show, and
so he's going to send Michael Lombardi hit consiglieri. Michael
Lombardi will be the one that does the weekly radio appearance.
(15:59):
It's like Tony Soprano, Like Tony Soprano sending in silvio
to handle the sit downs. It's like, yeah, you take
care of it. I get that's essentially at Belichick's like, hey,
thanks for ley pr boost, thank you for helping me
keep my name out there, and now get lost. It's weak.
It's Capital W week and that's it. And the irony
(16:21):
is that college football, unlike the NFL, college football is
all about the fan, which is code for the booster.
You need the booster. You need the booster to bankroll
the donation, which is pay to the players. Right, the
nil deals are all bankrolled by fans who own businesses
(16:43):
that are representing the university and want to give back
to the university. And so the money people, that is
what drives everything in college football. And Belichick's like, no,
And instead of being out there kissing their tukis and
that's what you're supposed to be doing, shaking hands, taking photos,
signing autographs, all that stuff, Belichick's already hiding in his cave.
(17:06):

Stranger things have happened. You never know, ALF could happen.
(20:18):
And I came this close last year to meeting Alf.
We had the TV show. We were in Boston. I
went out late at night there and in the rain
and met some fans of the show, and Alf was
gonna drive over. He lives kind of far away there,
and then there was a big like the remnants of
a hurricane tropical storm, so he decided not to not
(20:40):
to go, choosing life over over the meeting, which is
probably the right choice to make. I would say, although
Masshole Mickey made the other decision, then you know he
unfortunately he left us, but we love Masshole Mickey a
show legend. Let's go to the phones. We'll say lo
to eeny meenie miney mode. Let's go to blind Scott
on the north end of Boston. Hello, Blindes guy, and
(21:01):
JJ from Renton is back. We'd like to alert all
the affiliates. JJ from Renton is one of the great
characters on the show, and he's returned to the live
show after working in the day shift.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, I'll take it from here. He's back. He was
worked in the swing shift for a while and he's
returned to the night shifties, and he's wondered how the
show has transformed. He obviously had to been listening in
the past couple of years. Dude, that was at Bolva
earlier and they were remembering the great meat and greet.
I was going to say, dude, Alf lives one hundred
miles away from my Boston. If you didn't know that
(21:33):
it's hot, that would be quite the trip. If he
actually did come, I don't think he can come to Boston.
You know what I'm saying, not allowed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That is Alf banned from the far.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
He had to drive two hundre it would be twent miles.
I've talked to him. It'd be twent miles round trip.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Really, I was like that far. I didn't realize it
was that far. No idea.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Yeah, he's in Springfield. It's like, I mean, I didn't
know white people living in Springs Fland either, Dude. One
other thing this weekend was the Fisherman's Festival, and they
had the African musical Sensible. So there's all these fishermen
walking around in Boston and all these African musical people.
It was pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
A lot one other thing too, Like you mentioned Atlanta, Lorena.
So obviously we work in the business, you know, we know.
So like if you know somebody in the business, and
I know someone in the business, you want, like Rick Ross,
you want to go to Atlanta. I understand that. So
I knew this guy at ninety nine X in Atlanta,
like a huge, huge music station in Atlanta. He used
(22:28):
to work there. He was a big voice in Atlanta.
You know, Atlanta sucks now though they ruined that city,
the people there, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Ruined the city. I know, what's his name, Our buddy,
Jerome Renovitch is he's retired now, the old Braves broadcaster.
He's living in Atlanta. I met Tommy in Atlanta. He
showed up to the meet and read the Great Tommy
in Atlanta. A couple of years ago.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
They ruined the bussing system in Atlanta just fell apart.
You can't get around for the city.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And that's why we can't go, Lorenda. We can't market that.
We can't go to Boston because the bussing in Atlanta.
The boss, the Atlanta busing is messed up. So we
can't go to.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
That garden security. I know the Bosting guarded security. They
listened to the show, so they have cameras, but they
can see me show up. It has like face identification.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You can't see them.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Yeah, they'll come outside. They said they're the biggest the
world's biggest stitches. I was eating out of the buffet
in the garden and they in order they can't call
the police, they have to call the guard and security.
So when the guard security shows up, it's me there.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
But you can play the blind You play the blind card.
They can't really do anything because you're blind. You can't.
What are they gonna do?
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Drag in the court. Like one time, I win s.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Being a freeloading though my friend the Great Sports with Coleman.
There was a big golf tournament in Baltimore this week
and the FedEx playoff thing, BMW Championship whatever, and so
he's out there. It was one of the great freeloader events.
As he was sending me, he was sending me pictures
(23:58):
of the spread and this guy, people say, I'm a
free letter. Back in then Sports with Coleman would show
up have breakfast, to have a buffet breakfast, go home,
and then come back for lunch. He didn't even watch
the golf. I mean what, I'm a sugar, My.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
God, Hardy went to Augusta before he's listening now he's
driving to work. He was just on vacation in North
Carolina at his mother's house for a week. Talk about torture, you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Know, horror, horror, dude.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
One other thing though, who's going to Baltimore for a
golf tournament? He was probably the only one there, the
only media member there.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You know what, Yes, no one lives in Baltimore. That's it.
He's the only one there. That's it. Now, golf they
do do it right. I covered one years ago. I
covered a PGA championship at Riviera and unreal, they rolled
out the red cover. Now, you have multiple options when
(24:54):
you cover as a reporter in golf. You could either
watch it on television in an air conditioned tank with
free food. You could walk the course, right, you could
do that, there's that option, and then you could you
could also just stay at one hole as opposed to
you can follow golfers around, right, some people do that.
You can stay at one hole and just see the
(25:15):
golfers as they come past you. But what a life man,
those people that cover golf, that is you live in
the King's life. Let's say a lot of hollering James
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James, no sleeping.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right? Uh, yes, thank you for that. Unbelievable what
a what a segment of radio right to the Hall
of Fame. That's going to go. So, Shane Steichen, you
don't know who that is. He's the head coach of
the Indianapolis Colts and he's supposed to announce in the
next couple of days, probably today, who the starting quarterback
is going to be for the Colts. The problem is
(31:54):
they don't have a starting quarterback. They got two stiffs
at quarterback, the quarterback rivalry between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
A decision is likely coming later today or the next
couple of days, and Shane Sykin would not reveal his hand. However, However,
he did say a rather large hint. He dropped a
(32:15):
rather large hint on who the Colts quarterback is going
to be the coach of the Colts, saying that the
person who is more consistent would get the job. Okay,
so that means that Danny Dimes is going to be
the QB one for the Indianapolis Colts. That is a
(32:37):
dead giveaway, dead giveaway if you not that he's good,
because Daniel Jones is not good, but he's certainly more consistent.
Side by side, Let's go to Cowboy John Brad in Windsor, Ontario, Canada,
a fine Canadian lad. Hello Cowboy John Brad.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And Ben oh Scott Baroll was sixty t twenty ninth,
but fifty eight years ago today the Angels right now
and pitcher Jack Hamilton, Dean Boston, Red Frox star outfielder
Tony Conigliero, which pretty much ruined Coniglio's career. We had
one good year afterwards, in nineteen seventy and they died
(33:19):
almost exactly twenty eight years ago, twenty eight years apart. Coniglio,
I believe had a heart attack on February twenty sixth,
twenty twenty fourth, nineteen ninety, two days before my father
passed Awais and Hamilton died on February twenty second, twenty eighteen,
(33:39):
which was about five months before my sister Karen died.
And also Roberto Clemente and American tracks Rafer Johnson were
both born August eighteenth, nineteen thirty four, but they're no longer.
Around one hundred and five years ago. Yesterday was in
Baseball's own the death due to an on field accident
(34:03):
because Brol Mays. The day before that he had been
Ray Chapman, the Cleveland Indian short stuff, and Chapman died
of a skull factor. That was August seventeenth, nineteen twenty. Bootball,
the old slugger was eighty four yesterday. See Kenny Wester
(34:26):
was a singer. He was a singer actress was ninety
one Saturday, yes and let's see all people died on
August sixteenth, delve into that time. As the week goes on. Anyways,
remember you got to be a boy, to be a cowboy.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We all bite there, he goes cowboy John Brett. That
bit never gets old. Made a bunch of people dead.
Cowboy will change it up, He'll say, and this child
was born today, and this kid's going to become But
some point, this kid will become an overnight talk radio call.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Kay, I don't think I've ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, he'll change it up at some point he will.
So the bug problem. If you're watching last night on Fox,
what a dog food game? This was exhibition football between
Buffalo and Chicago. The Bills decided to take the night
off there and not compete even the backups, but they
debut the new Fox Bug, the score Bug on Fox,
(35:28):
and as always, whenever you change anything, people complain, complain, complain, complain.
It's a bare bone score bug, and people complaining it
does not enough there. There's not enough there there complaining
about it. I thought it was fine. Whatever. I don't
I'm flipping around so much on Sunday anyway, I'm not
(35:49):
sitting there focused on the score bug, and I'm certainly
not gonna kind of complain about it that much because
it's like I'm flipping from game to game. I've got
seventeen bets. I'm worried about it. I'm not worried about
the score bug, but it is much different, much different
than what they had used in the past. But that's
the way it goes.
Speaker 8 (36:08):
Well like it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm okay with that. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Is that.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
