Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, we go. Welcome, it's our number four, our number
four of the Ben Malers Show. Don't forget to check
out the fifth hour podcast from over the weekend. Is
three new original podcasts available for you with yours truly
by himself, by himself slaving away on the microphone, and

(00:23):
that's available Fifth Hour podcast here in hour number four,
Tom Brady saying that he's just a great sounding board
for the Raiders. What does that sound like to you? Also,
Ben Roethlisberger thinks Patrick Mahomes' best years are behind him?
How does that one hit you? And Dolphin's quarterback to
a Targo Bay I Loa facing massive pressure in twenty

(00:46):
twenty five believe it or not, Believe it or not,
we'll get to that as well. Have a wonderful Monday,
the final day of June. Here it is our number four.
It's not what you think it is, unless it is
exactly what you think is, but you don't want to
admit that. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour of

(01:10):
the Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
fellow townspeople, as we sting like the devil coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and unmistakably
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the bait

(01:33):
as we toss out the clickbait into the mighty audio
ocean from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
the Grill Sergeant in this portion of the Ben Maller
Show on Fox, made possible in part by our friends
at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by

(01:56):
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire Buying Show.
I'd be so our lead this hour is from Foogebois.
We are still several weeks away from the start of

(02:16):
training camp, which seems good, but there's not much going
on there other than people getting hurt. So our lead
this hour, though, is from Lost Wages, Nevada. That is
where we begin. The Raiders who have not been not
been good in a generation. Now. Back in the old
days when I was a kid, the Raiders had the

(02:37):
commitment to excellence. Now they have a commitment to excrement
and they've been terrible. They're one of the worst teams,
right there with the Cleveland Browns and some others at
the very bottom. Now, recently they were given the spark
of optimism the lowly Raiders thanks to Tom Brady's arrival
as the bit owner of the Silver and Black Attack.

(02:59):
The former Patriot quarterback now attempting to pour a bucket
of ice water on that spark of optimism, wants to
put that flame out right now. If you didn't see this,
and maybe you missed it over the weekend, So Tom
Brady downplaying his influence, his impact on the Raiders in

(03:20):
the situation room, if you will, all right. So. In
a recent interview with the state funded prov of the
news service the Raiders Own website, Tom Brady described his
role as a limited partner and stated that he contributes
by serving as a quote sounding board close quote for

(03:44):
the team's decision makers. Brady said that quote Mark Davis
is the boss, and that Pete meaning Pete Carroll does
his job. And Spy that's John Spytech, the handpicked by
Tom Brady GM of the Raiders does his job. I
think we just trust them to make the right decisions,
Brady stated. He went on to say I'm there as

(04:06):
a great sounding board for anything they want to do.
Close quote all right, so let us discuss tom Brady
saying that he's a quote great sounding board for the Raiders.
What does that sound like to you? So I've got
my take on this. The Buddy System, crocs and Goodyear

(04:30):
Blimp and we will combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a PB and J
Delicious Peanut Butter and Jelly. Samuis now to lead off, though.
Tom Brady is trying to have it both ways. You
can't have it both ways. You can't. He wants to
have it both ways. You can't have it both ways.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
He wants to be the man that has the power,
the influence. He's got the juice. Where's the juice. Tom
Brady's got the juice, But he didn't want the heat.
And see the heat's part of the package, and he
didn't want the responsibility. He didn't want that. It doesn't
work that way.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
He's sticking his hands, tom Brady into the proverbial silver
and black cookie jar. He's got his hands in the
silver and black cookie jar and all that stuff, doing
his thing. And when the crumbs fall on the floor.
He throws his hands in the air everywhere and says,
I'm just a sounding boy. Not my fault. You know,

(05:32):
Brady wants us to believe that he's part of the
Buddy system. He's the Buddies, He's just the brainstorm buddy.
That's it. You want a brainstorm, who you gonna call
Tom Brady. He's the brainstorm buddy, the Buddy system, nothing more,
nothing less. Does anyone actually believe that's the case? Is
there anyone give me a bloody break on that. It's

(05:54):
ridiculously Tom Brady. I've been around too long and been
around people with giant eagles too long to know that
this is bull crap. But Tom Brady wants to run
the Raiders. He just doesn't want to be blamed when
it goes to hell, and it will go to hell.
You know what, people say, it's Tom Brady's fault. He

(06:15):
knows what happened to Michael Jordan when Jordan tried to
do this with the Washington Wizards and the Charlotte Hornets,
and it was a disaster, right the Bobcats, whatever you
call it was a disaster. So Brady's like, I'll make
the calls, but I'll do it behind closed doors. I'll
whisper sweet nothings into the GM that I picked John Spytech,

(06:36):
I'll whisper stuff there. I'll give the green light on
Pete Carroll even though he wanted Ben Johnson, who's not
coaching the Bears. And he'll sign off on Gino Smith
even though he wanted Matthew Stafford couldn't get him. Remember
that meeting, that Cloak and Dagger meeting at a resort
in Montana where Brady tried to sell the Raider on

(07:00):
Matthew Stafford and Stafford went running back to the Rams.
I remember that, So cut to the chase, right. The
point of this is rather obviously Brady. When the Raiders
lose to the Colts in Week five by three touchdowns,
Tom Brady will be doing a game on Fox and
then he'll be going on his yacht somewhere in Miami

(07:22):
and one way. I was just there to offer my wisdom.
That's it. I just I didn't didn't build the team,
didn't do it. And it seems a lot like the
corporate boardroom structure where in politics also it's like the
NFL corporate world dressed up in under armour if you will.

(07:45):
You want the influence, you just don't want the accountability
that goes with that. And you want the headlines without
the headaches. Like Mark Davis selling Raider Football a lot
of it's well, tom Brady's here, now things are going
to be different, right, tom Brady's here. And and it's
like we see this a lot in Washington politics. We
see this a lot in on Wall Street as well.

(08:09):
And now it's in the and now it's in the NFL.
Now it's been around the NFL for a company. It's
not my favorite part. Tom Brady owns part of the team.
So he wants you to think it's just the Buddy
system and you know, I'm just a sounding board, Like
he wants you to believe he's not just a consultant.
He's not. He's not just a former player. He's not

(08:32):
just a legend back in the old days with the
New Land Patriots. This guy has his name on part
of the deed, all right, So do not allow Tom
Brady to somehow gaslight you that he's just a sounding board.
That is garbage. It's what that is. But it's a distraction,

(08:53):
and it's the the football version Tom Brady of Saint List.
I am not managing the cupany I just happened to
own it, and I sit in all the meetings, all
the meetings. I tell them what to do, but I listen.
I am not managing this company, all right. Furthermore to Pittsburgh, PA,

(09:15):
we go a inser legend unloading on the face of
the National Football League. On a recent episode of his
Fledgling podcast, Ben Roethlisberger, he talked at length about the
veteran edition of Aaron Rogers calling over. Rogers signed a

(09:36):
one year deal. You might have heard about it. We
talked about it pretty much every day for several months.
So Rogers is in Pittsburgh now. When asked about a
comparison between Aaron Rogers and Patrick Mahomes, Roethlisberger shocked the
room amazing hot take. Ben Roethlisberg said something about the

(10:01):
trajectory of mahomes career that was an o MG, mohman.
Ben Roethlisberger said that Mahomes is entering the downside of
his career. That a player whose best years and most
productive seasons are behind him, who goofed, I've got to

(10:22):
know that's right. Ben Roethlisberger thinks that Patrick Mahomes glory
days are in the past. So how does that one
hit you? How does that one hit you? So this
is a situation, well in a football opinion, I got
on buy I was a football opinion, my theory on
Roethlisberger here after a minute long deliberation, Ben Roethlisberger, this

(10:48):
was a desperate podcasting ploy. The battlefield of the download,
the battlefield of the download. You could practically hear the
crickets as they were chirping away there, and all the
lack of downloads, that download thing on the computer. You're

(11:09):
like the thing of a jig. No one's downloading this
what's going on? So Roethlisberger decide, I gotta drop a
hot take, and he did. He dropped the hot take
right there, drop it like it's hot. But Roethlisberger, his
podcast obviously needing some juice. It is the classic washed
up jock who's been given a microphone, right, and you're

(11:32):
trying to ring a gallon of of production out of
a hot take on a Holmes is what you're trying
to do. And Ben Roethlisberger, a man who the last
couple of years he played in the NFL, was like
a old rusted out Ford pickup truck that had not one,

(11:59):
not to but three flat tires and one of the
tires was one of the tires was missing. I mean,
it's just that's how he played. And so he's out
there now he's like, this is what's going on? You know,
I got it all figured out now. He did praise
Mahomes a little bit after he said he's passed his

(12:19):
his prime, and Mahomes, I would argue, at this point,
Mahomes has not had many toys at wide receiver. Kelsey's
getting older, but Mahomes he could go out there and
dominate if he was wearing crocs and he was blindfolded
and he'd run around and they'd still win eleven games.

(12:42):
The Chiefs would still win eleven games. So I'm not
I know the numbers were not as good as they
have been, but I'm not sitting here and saying Mahomes
is exiting his prime. I think he's redefining it in
many ways. He turns thirty later this calendar year, so
during the end NFL season, Mahomes will turn thirty, And

(13:02):
if you look at the comps, that means even if
Mahomes is just your standard run of the mill athlete
in pro sports. He's got at least two more years,
two more years before he exits the prime. That's it,
and we'll call it what is. And this is just
Mahomes getting some shots, some shrapnel from Ben Roethlisberger, who's

(13:30):
doing a little bit of cloud chasing, a little bit
of that. And I'll bet you behind closed does Roethlisberger
doesn't even know what he said. He's just barking into
a microphone and he's like, I had to say something.
No one's listening to my podcast. You know, it's another
jock podcast. No one listens to. There's a million of them,
and he's got to say something to try to get
people to listen. All right, now, last thing, we head

(13:52):
now to Miami, Miami, Miami. Some reports over the weekend
about the status of the Dolphins. You see this, maybe
not so? The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tongue of by Lawa
said to be facing massive amounts of pressure during the
twenty twenty five upcoming season. Believe it or not, believe

(14:17):
it or not so on this one. I don't know
how you couldn't be on the amen choir on this one.
I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, everyone involved
with the Dolphins. They will come in there with a
broom and everyone will be gone. All the key players

(14:38):
will be gone if they go out there and ride
the vomit comment this year, I'm a true believer. I'm
the cool aid man. Oh yeah, when it comes to
the Dolphins. Because like it or not, Tua Tongue of
by Law, he does have the weight of the goodyear
blimp on his shoulders. Now, he did lead the league
in passing back in twenty twenty three, what have you

(15:00):
done for me lately? And if you look at the
full body of work for Tua, people are asking, but
can he win the big one? And the answer so
far has been no. Absolutely. You can't totally write him
off because he did leave the league in passing. But
he reminds me a lot of like Dak Prescott, where

(15:21):
they'll compile numbers during the regular season, but they're faux numbers.
Like Dak Prescott's a fraud in big games, right, the
guy poops his pants, He's got poopy pants and big
games and until proven otherwise, Tua Tongue of Iloa, he's
very similar. It's like, well, yeh, he'll put up stats.
During the regular season, he's the NFL's version of a

(15:44):
high wire act that you know he's dazzling. At times.
On a random regular season day at home against the Patriots,
he'll put up some big numbers and you'd be like,
oh man, he's really good. It's wonderful. But then in
the playoffs, it gets a little chilly, gets a little nippley,
and there's a gust of wind, and all of a

(16:06):
sudden he freezes like a statue and Down goes to him,
Down goes to him. But you look at the Dolphins.
You've got Mike McDaniel, the hipster coach who everyone loved
his offensive genius, and now you look at him and like,
you don't know he's doing. Like he's a good offensive coordinator.

(16:28):
He's not a good head coach. So he's on the
hot seat. And if you're gonna get rid of him,
you gotta get rid of to it. Now he said,
well he signed that big extension. Okay, Well there's an
eject button. There's a transfer portal button in the extension. Now,
it is not until after the twenty twenty sixth season. However,
you can get out of it. So let's play out

(16:51):
this year, and then he'll have essentially one year left.
He'll be a lame duck quarterback to it. At that
point you can trade him with some other crappy team
that takes like Pittsburgh. I guess he ta going to
Pittsburgh's why I can't play in cold weather? Well, if
Aaron Rodgers were to leave and retire and go do
a podcast with Joe Rogan and drink ayahuasca, then Tua

(17:13):
could go to Pittsburgh and play. There's certain teams that
the Rams are gonna need a quarterback at some point,
God forbid, because Stafford is eventually gonna leave, and so
they'll need somebody. The Saints don't have a quarterback. They're
the headless horsemen, so they need a quarterback and you
don let them. Is a bunch of teams they're gonna need.
The Giants, Russell Wilson, Are you kidding me? Come on,

(17:34):
the Jets, they don't have a quarter They didn't sign
a quarterback justin Field. So that's a good TikTok video guy.
But that's about it. Anyway. It is the Bean Mahlor Show.
If you would like to comment on any of this,
you can join us right now at eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
six six three six nine. So we started with Tom

(17:57):
Brady and he's pretending like he doesn't have as much
influence as he does with the Raiders because he doesn't
want the heat. When this thing blows up, well, one
of the guys that was tied and forever in this
world of professional sports tied to Tom Brady. Bill Belichick
hadn't heard a lot from Bill Belichick. He hired a
spin doctor, and the Bill Belichick story kind of went

(18:19):
away well over the weekend, Bill Belichick popping back up
in the tabloids. What happened? What is Belichick doing? Now,
we'll get to that and we will do it next.

and also the Dolphins got in there and the play
of one Patrick Mahlmes. Now Stevie Meatballs says, Balls on

(20:39):
the assessment of my Miami Dolphins, My question is, does
Steven Ross finally show Chris Greer the door? It seems
like a stupid question, but Ross has been publicly smooching
Greer's took us for decades, says longtime Dolphin apologies. Steven Meatballs. Well,
if you're gonna get rid of the coach, you're gonna

(21:00):
get rid of the quarterback. You would assume you would
make that move. Justin in Cincinnati says so basically, tuas
playing every game this year with Robbie the Mariner fan
on his back. Shots fire a nature boy answering the
call to the wild says like Tom Brady Lebron is

(21:22):

just a sounding board. Clearly, alright, he can't read that.
A lot of reaction to the three sided verbal octagon
that we had on the air with filexis. Yeah, the
drag queen Filexis. We had hollering James in Minnesota and
Blind Scott duking it out, and nature Boy says, I

(21:45):

Should have done that. Missed opportunity Inca Terror writes in
from Rochester. It says, for all the newer listeners out there,
the legend of Inka Terror was born when the feminine
model Blind Scott quit the show after not showing up

(22:08):
to a legitimate verbal octagon. Yo. Not only did blind
Scott quit the show and all that stuff didn't show
up to the octagon, we had to do a wellness
check because Scott. We couldn't get a hold of Blind
Scott for like two or three days.
