show be So I leave this hour is from Chapel

(02:37):
Hill Town famous because Ben Maler show, p One Spacoli
lives there, and some basketball player named Michael Jordan played there,
and this guy named Dean Smith coach there, and then
there's this other guy named Bill Belichick. So Bill Belichick,
who hasn't coached a game yet at North Carolina, he
is the He's the guy, right, the big man on campus.
Now Belichick and the lead up to his first game

(02:58):
as a college coach, decided that this was the perfect
time to let her rip loose lips, sink old pals
unless they don't.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Unless they don't. So if you didn't see this or
hear about it, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick this week lobbing some
Molotov cocktails at his former boss with the Patriots, Robert
Kraft and keeping it in the family. The son Jonathan
Craft now Belichick said that the Tar Hills coaching college football,
there's more quote, more cohesion, and it's more unified than

(03:36):
life in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Body blow, body blow, body blow.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Now, the ex pat coach told Ben Volin of The
Boston Globe, which apparently is still in business, said it's
a lot of football and there's not much in your way.
It's a lot of football, and there's not much in
your way. Then he went for the juggler. He did,
he went for the juggular.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
What is the jugglar? I don't know what the jugular.
Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Here's the mother of all quotes, Belichick said, the difference
between college and the NFL.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
There's no owner, there's no owner's son. He continued, there's
no cap. Everything that goes with the marketing and everything else,
which I'm all for that, Belichick said, but it's way
less of what it was at that level.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Close quote.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
All right, So let us discuss the question, how do
you interpret the meaning of Bill Belichick referencing Patriots owner
Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan when praising life at
North Carolina. So my observation on this, I've got fire
breathing dragon, peacock, and Sonic the hedgehog. And we'll combine

(04:54):
all of these things together, and we're gonna make the
Baba ganoosh. We're gonna make the barbacus. Now number whe Now,
I love this story because it's bitter Bill. It's bitter Bill,
And some are saying, well, that's Belichick just locked in here,

(05:15):
and I love the fact that he's just lobbing, lobbing
these shots at his old employer, and it's great for
all the winds, for all the success, the Lombardi trophies
and the big Malmons and all the great success that
Belichick's had, the pot of gold.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
He found at the end of the rainbow, at the
end of the rainbow, the.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Fact that he's got his twenty four year old floozy
girlfriend there North Carolina, forty eight years younger than him.
And he's still Belichick angry. He's a fire breathing dragon.
When it comes to the New England Patriots and how
that ended, Belichick is seething.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know it right, He's stewing the breakup was not mutual.
It was not there.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
There's been a cold war with the Craft family and Belichick,
well mainly Robert Kraft, but Jonathan's the the other part
of that and Belichick. They're still launching missiles at each other.
There's still launching missiles at each other. A buddy of mine,
one of my buddies, lives in the Boston area, and
he messaged me a while back when they had the

(06:20):
Tom Brady statue thing, and he'said, well, you know Belichick
wasn't there, and I said, yeah, I always coaching North Caroline.
That's why my buddy's like, oh no, he wasn't there,
Ben because he didn't want to be around Craft, and
Kraft didn't want Belichick there, so you should have Craft
should have wanted he should have had Belichick there. But
Craft such an egomaniac too, he knew if Belichick was there,

(06:43):
the story would have been about Belichick and Brady, and
instead the story was about Brady and Kraft. So then
you also have you know that line no owner, right,
no owner, no owner's son is essentially what he was saying.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
That is a direct shot at Robert and Jonathan Kraft.
It's not really subtle. It's Bill Belichick doing a news
conference in morse code.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's like a nineties rom com grumpy old Men.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Right, Instead of Jack Lemon and Walter Mathow, it's Bill
Belichick and Robert Kraft, and then the kids like the
supporting actor. The kids like the supporting actor, and Belichick
comes off as like passive, aggressive, combative and moody, just
scruntled ex employee. And that doesn't mean that he's wrong,
by the way, it doesn't mean that Belichick is not

(07:33):
absolutely right the complain about the marketing stuff. How many
times did Bill Belichick have to do marketing stuff? Like,
the only thing Belichick was forced to do, as I
understand it, was that weekly radio show, which he did
half ass and didn't really lean into it.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know, he just kind of did it and was
terrible most of the time.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
It was unlistenable, garbage when Belichick was on every week,
But he did it because that was the marketing.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
They had a marketing agreement. But other than that, I
don't know what else he did, right, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
So he's just scruntled and all that. But in Belichick's eyes,
Robert Kraft could not tell if the old line. He
couldn't tell if the ball was puffed or stuffed, and
he's running around like he's a genius and all this stuff,
and he's, you know, Craft's meddling. There's stories about the
reason that Patriots don't spend a lot of money is
because Kraft wants to pocket the money. The Kraft family.

(08:25):
It's a family business. And if you don't spend the
money on the players, that's extra money you can keep.
And then you have Jonathan Kraft, the Patriots version of
Stephen Jones. You know, Stephen Jones knows nothing and is
just you know, writing the coattails of his daddy. Well,
then you got Jonathan but apparently I don't know Jonathan Kraft.
The word is that this guy walks around. He won
the genetic lottery, but he comes across like he worked

(08:48):
his way up from the bootstraps, you know, just pulled
himself up and all.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Now, page two, So what do you expect the college
football things getting going?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Here? What do you expect from Bill Belichick in.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
C There's a number one at North Carolina, so it's
obviously a mix back.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Now, the Vegas odds.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Makers, we're doing the show here from Vegas for the
Big Meet, and the odds makers have set the early
win total for Bill Belichick's debut season. You see this
seven and a half wins. Now, North Carolina did not
win that many games last year. You can't win half
a game as the football season gets going. But Belichick
inherits a middling acc football team.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
They won six games last year.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
The twenty twenty five schedule for the Tar Hills, they've
got matchups they begin with TCU. They've got Clemson, North
Carolina State Wake Forest. Now these are kind of similar teams,
like North Carolina State, not great Wake Forest, cal from
Berkeley make their way over there and whatnot. Now, either way,

(09:52):
this is a peacock type situation. Must see TV. It
is must see TV, and and no ifs, ands or
buts about it. And it's box office right it's Oh,
it's box office curiosity factor on a scale of one
to ten Mallards scale of one to ten for curiosity,
it's an eighty eight. And here's why, right, this is

(10:15):
not just a coaching gig. It is a cultural event
North Carolina. Oh, you're being too dramatic. They didn't just
get a coach. This is a myth maker, a legacy
builder for the North Carolina football team. And there'll be
ten million documentaries about the time Bill Belichick went there
and coached.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
This is not a new deal.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
There've always been the old NFL coach that goes back
to college football and there was a kid, there was
this guy named George Allen who would coached the Washington
They were called the Redskins.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh he said, Redskins, that's what they were called.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
And George Allen, at the end of his life coached
a small college called Long Beach State in southern California,
and there's a famous store. It's not true, but when
the legend becomes the factor, go with the legend. The
legend is that George Allen died because he got a
cold from I think it was like the gatorade bath
after a win, this old NFL coach. Now it's been debunked,

(11:12):
but people still and you know, they don't talk about
it anymore, but he used to bring that up from
time to time. So you know, I've got the perfect
analogy for what Belichick in North Carolina is. Bill Belichick
in North Carolina is Dion Sanders with metamucil.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's what this is.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Because Belichick's got the same level of attention that Dion had.
Like I said, I don't know about swagger, more of
a wattle than swagger. He's got the brand we mentioned,
he's got the box office North Carolina sold all the tickets.
And he doesn't wear sunglasses and he doesn't wear cowboy
hats like Deon Sanders.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Bill Belichick, he's rocking a hoodie.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
He's got a disheveled hoogie and a hoodie, and he's
got fiber supplements and all that, and that's what he got.
And you know Prime Time meets Prime Happy Hour, that's
what you got. Well, I don't know how happy early
Bird special? How about Prime early Bird Special? I don't
know Belichick's drinking, but early Bird Special?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
All right? Now, final point.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
We stay with the theme of the hour, the gambling
market and a story as we begin the college football
season like a soft launch this weekend Texas quarterback Arch Manning.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, I know you're already doing another monologue about Arch Manning.
What what's wrong with you? All right?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Anyway, So Texas quarterback Arch Manning is the favorite entering
the college football season here to win the Heisman. He's
the favorite at plus six fifty those odds over on DraftKings.
He played what was it two games I think last
season in Austin. He was mostly on the bench behind

(12:49):
a guy drafted in the seventh round by.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
The Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
He couldn't beat out a guy drafted in the seventh
round by the Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Now, question, can you explain?

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Can you explain how Vegas is justified in having Texas
quarterback Arch Manning as the betting favorite for the Heisman?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
So I'm not in my s. I'm not in my es.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Now here's the thing, there's a lot of people that
are uneducated on gambling that think the reason arch Manning
is the favorite is because Vegas thinks that arch Manning
is gonna win the Heisman.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
That is not the way that this works. That's not
the way that any of this works.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
The way as I understand, and I've talked to some
of these guys that are in the sports books over
the years, the way this works, it's all about risk
management for the sportsbooks.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's gift wrapped in a media narrative bow.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
But arch Manning's heisman odds are not Vegas saying he's
going to win the Heisman. They're certainly not about his
resume which is lacking, or his arm talent or anything
like that. It is about brand gravity, right, It's about
brand gravity. Vegas is not forecasting performance.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
They don't do that.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
What they are doing is they're going sonic the hedgehog,
meaning they are hedging against the hype, the media height,
the ESPN machine and all that, all the other college
the blogger is fear and all the social media stuff
TikTok and Instagram, all that stuff. So Manning he leads
all Heisman candidates in both ticket percentage, the number of bets,

(14:33):
and the handle percentage, which is the total money wage.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Now some of the numbers that I've seen for reference.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Over at bet MGM, we are told that arch Manning
is responsible for almost forty percent of the handle. And
if you know how this works, and the house makes
their money, if there's equal money on everything, they don't
have a big liability. There is massive, as they would say,
massive exposure, massive exposure when one guy has thirty six

(15:05):
percent of all the bets. The Manning surname the royal family.
It's a blue chip stock, is what it is. And
so Peyton and Eli, you know, they never won the Heisman.
I remember when Peyton was at Tennessee. There was that
one year he was supposed to supposed to win the Heisman.
In fact, I actually saw Peyton Manning. I covered a
game he played against UCLA at the Rose Bowl, and

(15:30):
I remember being in the press box and they handed
out all this crap that had Peyton for the Heisman
and all this stuff. I kept some of it. I
have it somewhere, but failed didn't didn't win it, and
arch If arch Manning won the Heisman.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Boy, that would that would trump his uncle's right.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
You talk about legacy jackpot and there's a lot of
casual betters, the low information better that just bet on
the storyline they love.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's a good storyline. Arch Manning is the.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Publicity city, prints of cottage football and all that, and Vegas.
Vegas is protecting itself from a pr nightmere payout right
where they just get trampled.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's a mad dash and the low information fan.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
So when you take a couple of steps back, and
there are people that have said, I've seen some people
who cover college football, they're like, wow, the reason that
you talk about arch Manning is because he's the betting favorite.
But they don't understand the reason again he's the betting
favorite is because of the media. It's like a self
fulfilling prophecy. And college football, Boy, we don't talk too
much of it here. I can get into that if

(16:38):
you want, but I'm not gonna do it right now.
But college football is suffering from a supply chain shortage
of stars. Where are the stars in college football?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Seriously? I'm not Oh, you're just being a hater. No,
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Ill the stars of the coaches. It's Dion Sanders and
colorad Otto. It's Bill Belichick at North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Saban's not around.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Saban's futsing around on television and arch Manning he's got
the cubesquare not because of anything he did other than genetically.
He got born into a family with a famous name.
But he does fill that vacuum. And it's not a
familiar face. It's just a familiar name and it's compelling.

(17:28):
All Right, It is the Ben Maeler Show. This guy
Asher says that Ben, I don't think you've ever played
Sonic the Headhock.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
That's a lot. I played it three times in my life.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I played Sonic the Hedgehog three times, one time at
the arcade, and then I played on the actual video
game back when they had those video game things back
in the day. All Right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Be in radio.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
You're a young guy in like your whole life or whatever.
Maybe you want to do something makes some real money.
But if you do go into to radio full time,
will you go with the Roddy radio moniker?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Will that be your stick? I mean, I don't know
if I have a choice. Now that you've said it,
the alliteration it just works a little too perfectly. Oh
it does.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Man.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
You could be like we think DJ talk show host
you what are you thinking?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, like a talk show host, talk shost Yeah, all right, yeah,
just play around with it, kind of lean into it
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
So the way to do it.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Eke and Rose of Minnesota, Right, since says Mark the
full name guy will be at the Vegas meet and
well that's an interesting photo there. He will not be there,
but Mark is listening from not Medford, Oregon. He moved,
I don't remember the town he's in now, and he
gets very upset when I don't know the town he's in,
so he'll send me a nasty message and yell at me.
He says, Jim Harbaugh gets a ten year suspension? Is

(23:19):
Bill Belichick going to get a ten year suspension from
the NFL?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Too big to fail?

Speaker 1 (23:25):
If the Patriots and Tom Brady were not winning Super Bowls,
these cheating allegations would have had some real merit.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
But you know, the Lombardi Trophy is just some hunk
of metal.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
So he says, there you go. Ferg Dog points, I
said this guy Asher, this douche. So he's like, oh, you,
I caught you. I caught you. You said you played.
He said, you said you played Sonic the Hedgehog in
the arcade. And the problem is Sonic the Hedgehog was
not an arcade game. It was on the Sega Genesis system,

(23:58):
So of course he's wrong. So it took two seconds
to find a photo of an arcade version of Sonic
the Hedgehog and this guy Asher, don't test me, Asher,
do not test me.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I know, I know who you are. Asher, do not
test me.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Bad job by you, I mean they of course, yes,
it was more known for the Sega Genesis, but there
was an arcade version of Sonic the Hedgehog. It did
exist in the arcade. So put that in your pipe
there and you can smoke it and knock yourself out there,
you go.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, all right, anyway, see what else. Let's go to
the phones. We'll take a call.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
We do have Sports Jeopardy coming up, and I am
let me, let me ask mister Roddy there. And so
these guys from Minnesota keep sending me messages. They're saying
that the big morning show on the Fan in Minnesota
on Kfan is across the street from where I'm broadcasting
here at the Circa. So they're like, they're telling me

(24:59):
I should go there and hang out with like the
guy from the morning show.

kind of the middle of the night here, So I
don't know what what do you think I should do?

Speaker 2 (25:17):

and see if he wants to hang out with you.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, have you been to circus amazing? They should buy
commercials and stuff, but they have They have a studio
right there, like in the casino. So but I don't

that's true. That's true.

Speaker 1 (25:36):

and I got to go walk around and get harassed
by people asking me for money on Fremont Street.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
You know, that's what I need. I need people asking
me for.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Money because that's the perfect way to wind down after
a night of work, the perfect way to wind down.

Speaker 2 (25:51):

Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to Jed
in the Land of Confusion, and I don't see what's
going Hello, Jed who fled?

Speaker 6 (26:03):
He should become a wrestler and invite people, and he
should go himself rowdy roddy vipers and he finished to
be biting people.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Ian.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Do you think you could be a good professional wrestler? Nah?
I don't think so, Manu. Mike Tyson got in trouble
for biting someone. Well, yeah, but anybody about that?

Speaker 1 (26:23):
He's more famous, That's right, Jed, who fled? Is in
Tyson more famous for biting a guy's year off?

Speaker 3 (26:30):

Speaker 6 (26:30):
I thought he hit on the Ticken company. He didn't
make the Chicken company chickens?

Speaker 2 (26:33):
No, No, he makes real money. He makes weed. That's
where the real money is.

Speaker 6 (26:37):
Remember watching and walking on pay per view him fight
Lady Lewis and realizing y'all just wasted your money. And
then what pover people thinking an entire lifetime later whenever
he fight that that that Paul got?

Speaker 3 (26:47):

for cutthroats on his no doubt about it. The Mallard
Meet and Greek Malo meat Greek, the contest, a spelling beat.
