(00:23):
the losers in the Super Bowl. But is Jalen Hurts
about to become a winner? Jalen Hurts contract extension starting
out at forty five million per year? Are you in
or are you out? On that number? And some Eagle
teammates are upset that Jalen Hurts is still being quote
disrespected around the NFL. How is that possible? How is

(00:49):
that the case? We'll discuss. And has Jalen Hurts established
himself as a top five quarterback in the NFL circa
twenty twenty three? We'll discuss that as well, and a
whole lot more right now in our number four, you

(01:09):
didn't get the Lombardy, but you're getting get a whole
lot of dead presidents. Well come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Maller Show, we are in

So our lead this hour coming from the Delaware Valley
where the Philadelphia Eagles licking their wounds while the Chiefs
in Kansas City were being paraded around as the champions
of Pro football. Back in Philly, the Eagles saying what happened?

(02:20):
How do we blow that lead? They did blow a
double digit lead at halftime in Super Bowl fifty seven.
The sting still there now that being said, the business
of football continues on, and a lot of chatter, a
lot of chatter about the next big thing, the breakout

(02:40):
star in Philadelphia. Pay the man is the mantra. You
gotta pay the man now if you don't know where
I'm going with this possibly that the Eagles, losers in
Super Bowl fifty seven, we are hearing that they are
expected to sign Jalen Hurts to a massive MEGAMEGAMEGAMEGA mega
mega millions new contract that will kick off before the

(03:06):
twenty twenty three season. Now, this doesn't make a lot
of sense to us because Hurts has another year on
his contract. But Adam Schefter with the scoopage, he passes
on that the starting point, the starting point for the
new contract with Jalen Hurts, would be forty five million
dollars per year. And that's just the floor. That's not

(03:29):
the ceiling, that's the floor. This is hot off the
presses here as the Eagles try to get all their
ducks in a row. So let us discuss the question
Jalen Hurts contract extension at forty five million dollusan a year.
Are yet in or are yet out on this actually happening?

(03:50):
So I have learned my lesson after many failed Mallard monologues,
I am all in. I'm gonna stand up and say
all in. Now, if you ask me whether I would
pay Jalen Hurts forty five million dollars a year, that's
a different answer, But do I think he's going to
get that money apps a freaking lootly I do. I've

(04:11):
got Bovine, Churchill and grab bag and we will put
all of these things together, and we're gonna make the
Baba Ganoosh for Jerome and Kansas City. We're gonna make
the Baba Ganoose. Now to kick off, Jalen Hurts, much
to my chagrin, did prove himself worthy of being a

(04:33):
starting quarterback in the NFL. There were great doubts about
that if you remember going into the season, but he
was the conductor of the Jeru train in Philadelphia as
they made their run down the tracks attempting to get
the run for the Roses in the Super Bowl. It

(04:53):
didn't happen. Obviously, we know that part ended badly. And
while some of me wonders if last season the season
that just happened, here is a mirage. Whether or not
it's a fluke and can be repeated, that is not
up for debate. Because Jalen Hurts is going to get
paid the riches of Solomon. Why. Because that's the way

(05:17):
business is done in the NFL. The Cartel of Football
has a license to print money. It is bovine, is divine.
A few of the cash cow the shield their cash cow. Unbelievable. Nobody,

(05:37):
nobody at the NFL who works for the league office
is waiting in the breadline for food rations. The oligarchs
of football are chowing down on filet mignon. They're not
eating a souper kitchen. And therefore the Eagles, they're gonna
end up paying a marked up price for jailer hurts.
Part of it is because of the putin price hike,

(06:00):
everything is more expensive. Inflation is through the roof. NFL
revenue is also up the chimney. The revenue in the
NFL insane to the membrane. Last week at the Super Bowl,
I was parading around. They had this thing called the
NFL Experience. I don't know if you've ever been to that.
And I'm wandering around and it's kind of all kinds

(06:22):
of NFL memorabilia and they've got little games you can
play in art and things like that. You know. The
largest thing that they had at the NFL Experienced, the
biggest part of that venue at super Bowl fifty seven,
that's right, the gift shop. That was the biggest part
that the gift shop was the largest part of this

(06:44):
whole thing. And they had people lined up this massive,
massive hall and they had the biggest part of it
was the gift shop, and people lined up with cash
regis and you had to pay with credit card. You
can't pay with cash. But the good for them. People
are buying the stuff. They have a license to print money.
And that's all extra money too. That's all extra money.

(07:07):
That's not like the television, which is where the main
source of income is. All this other stuff is just
added on. And the NFL's got it great, right. They
are the last of the Mohicans. Everything else in entertainment
is streaming, it's on demand. You'll watch it when you
want to watch it. The NFL, with all the trimmans,

(07:30):
has to be consumed in real time. The product is
not as good. The enjoyment you get from the NFL
is not as good unless it is in real time.
That's just the case. Now. Furthermore, let's turn the page
away from the money part of it. But the Eagles
cleaned out their lockers the day they were supposed to
have the parade. They cleaned out their lockers and more

(07:53):
than one teammate of Jalen Hurts was upset. They were angry.
Even after the Super Bowl. They made the argument that
Jalen Hurts is still being quote disrespected close quote. So
my question on this one is how is that the case?

(08:14):
And the answer I'll get the ball rolling here and
you could chime in on this. It is not the case.
That is the epitome of horse fertilizer is what that is.
And it reminds me of that. There's an old Winston
Churchill quote who so eloquently said back in his day,
you create your own universe as you go along. So

(08:34):
in Philadelphia, much like in Kansas City where the Chiefs
are convinced that the doubters didn't believe in them and
the world was against them and all that, well, in
Philadelphia you've got people that truly think that the silky
smooth Jalen Hurts, who was putting on a show, and
if the game had ended at halftime, the NFL would
have lost a lot of money and Jalen Hurts would

(08:55):
have been the MVP. But that he is being disrespected,
that's creating your own universe. Some of these cats in
Philadelphia have convinced themselves that the world is against Jalen Hurts,
and I don't think they're just busting balls. I don't
think they're kidding. I think they're being legit hand to God, Like,

(09:16):
how would that be? All I have seen in the
lead up to the super Bowl and in the days
since the super Bowl has been played is praise that
Jalen Hurts already is a pillar of the NFL community,
that he has been adored, admired, and adulated. He is
on the path to Saint Hood. The end of the

(09:40):
rainbow is at the feet of Jalen Hurts. All right,
party shot. So the other statement that his movie. So
you have dueling pianos here, because on one hand, you
have the argument that he's the locker room is saying,
wait a minute, there's some guys in Philly sand he's
being disrespected. And then you have the other extreme, which
is over here. The other extreme is, well, wait a minute, now,

(10:04):
he's a top five quarterback in the NFL. So you
have people in the locker room who are going fire
and brimstone saying disrespected. You have gas bags and blowhards
in the media saying that it's over. Jaylor Hurt's top
five quarterback in the NFL. So is he a top
five quarterback in the NFL? And I am shaking my head, No,

(10:25):
absolutely not. Now you've got Patrick Mahomi, Patrick Mahomes who's
on a deserted island all by himself at the very
very top right there, all the way to very very top. Now,
after Mahomes you have separation. You have a large body
of water. And then following Mahomes, after that large body

(10:47):
of water, we will rock and roll with Joe Burrow
jump ball Joe. No, this is the real Joe Burrow,
not the fake Joe that Joe Flacco was a fraud
with the Ravens. That was jump ball Joe. This is
Joe Coop. So he's number two. And then after that
on my big board, reluctantly, I would have to go
Josh Allen, although he did not get or done, mister

(11:11):
January was not exactly mister January this year. So those
are the quote ice cube, the big three. Right, You've
got Mahomes way ahead of everyone else. He's secretariat, and
then Joe Burrow and Josh Allen after that. It's a
grab back. It's a grab back. It's interchangeable parts. You
can mix and match It's kind of like going to

(11:34):
the candy shop and you know they have all the
candy and you can put the candy in the bag
and then they weigh the candy and you can pay
whatever you want. But it's really how much, you know,
it doesn't matter of Pacific specifically what kind of candy
you get, it's just how much total you put in
the back. You've got Lamar Jackson who had a bad
year last year, Justin Herbert who Chris Collinsworth wants to
have his baby. You've got Trevor Lawrence who came on

(11:56):
like gamebusters last year. Jared Goff who somehow has played
much better than he did as a ram in Detroit.
Kirk Cousins who's mister pretty good but not great. Dak Prescott,
the stat Bandito. Dak's a top five quarterback when they
play bad teams in Dallas. So there's a whole bunch

(12:16):
of those players. And Jalen Hurts is in the Hodgepodge.
And these are quarterbacks that come in all shapes and
all sizes, and it's really after the top three, it's
picked your poison. It's picked your poison. As for Jalen Hurts,
the question on Hurts going forward. I've always been a
believer in regression, to the mean that when you play

(12:40):
above your expected production, there will be a backslide. And
the Eagles bread and butter offensive line, defensive line, and
whether by retirement, free agency, or trade, it's not going
to be the same group there. So will we see

(13:01):
a regression? Extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate outcomes.
Inquiring minds would like to know, will this become an
upside down situation in Philadelphia? Well, it doesn't matter. As
long as Jalen Hurtz gets the forty five million dollars
a year, then who cares he's got He's got his money.

(13:25):
And if the Eagles end up with a bunch of heartache,
that's on them, all right. It is the Ben Maller Show.

Robin Vegas says the raspberry pop tart are the bomb.

said the Midnight Walker. W got upset, he say you

(15:41):

it was not a list. I don't do list radio.
Let's get that out of the way right now. W
all right, I don't do list radio. So not a list.
It was a big board, which is much different than
a list. A big board is not a list. It's
a big board. And I know you're your bosson guy

(16:03):

wants to listen to a pointdexter do sports radio? How

(17:16):
terrible would that do? My god, that would be horrible?
All right? Okay, so anyway, Hey, I want to talk
about Brion Flores. You know this guy Hayden No matter
who doesn't like him, whether it's an ownership or players, whatever,
he's a heck of a coach. Brian Flores never heard

(17:37):
of him? What does that mean? A heck of a coach?
What does that mean? Yeah? What? Hey, I'll mean Hey,
look at Miami. I don't know why he got fired.
But that last year he was there, didn't They didn't
start off like three and five and finish eight and nine. Fire,
you know, just because you listen. I don't know. He's
a heck of a coach. He was great. I'm a gambler,

(17:58):
and the Dolphins were Brian Flores coached the Dolphins. They
almost They had one of the highest winning percentages in
the NFL. He's got a great last time. I'll give
you that your that's your cousin, right, Roberto. Yeah, yeah,
they're brothers from a different mother. Yeah, I'm just saying, hey,
why he doesn't get a second chance? You know? And

(18:19):
you could it be I don't know, because he's suing
the NFL. Could that be why he's not getting a
head coaching job. Maybe I don't know. Hey, hey Al Davis,
Hey he was the owner forever for the Raiders. Yeah,
the NFL is still screwing over the Raiders. Well, and
Al Davis didn't sell the Raiders and buy another team,

(18:40):
you know what I'm saying. He didn't buy like a
second team while he was suing the NFL. Yeah. Well, anyway, Hey,
the NFL is not screwing the Raiders. Anymore. Hey, it's
Mark Davis, the dumbest owner of all because hey, hey,
raiders are screwing themselves. Now that's correct. Yes, it's Mark Davis.
He's hired three read treads, back to back and back,
del Reel, Bruden and now McDaniels. All these guys got

(19:05):
second chances. Hey, I can go back to the nineties.
Richie Coe tight, the same Richie code type. Now you're
dating yourself be inherited, Hey, the same Richie Coe tight.

eject button on the call. There's a we have a

(19:25):

Let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis. Meanis salt?

(19:49):
Hello hollering James? Hey Ben, how does my voice so?
Now I don't know. Let's check in like two minutes
to see how your voice says. See, because I've got
a lot to say I'm sure you do. It's very
important that people need to hear your voice must be heard, James,
it's worst talk radio. I'm talking. I like Brian Flores.

(20:13):

hello to angry Bill, very angry man who's had a
lot of medical problems. He goes, He goes to the doctor,
the doctor. He says, doctor, what's wrong with me? The
doctor says, you're old. That's what he said, Hello, angry Bill,

(21:59):
good morning. Let's let's get away from this riveting talk
of quarterbacks in the NFL. Let's go back to these
rule changes in baseball. I don't understand why Major League
Baseball doesn't say they look, we feel it's more exciting
to have run scored. And this is what we're gonna do.
All the pitching changes last year and now all the
rule changes this year. We want to score runs, juice

(22:20):
up the ball, and stop guessing what you want to do.
You want to score runs and make things more exciting
because one nothing games to one games. That's a bad
that's a bad take by you, because baseball has been
sporadically juicing up the balls for years, and so what
you have is like Beer League softball, where everyone just
swings from their heels and trays. They don't runs. So

(22:41):
they want you you're correct, they want more run scored,
but they want to go back old school. They want
stolen bases, hit and run, that's what they want. They
want to you know, you hit the ball the other
way and you can get a hit. You know, if
you're The shift thing is gonna should change baseball a ton.
I I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it.

(23:03):
I think there are ways to beat the shift, but
nobody was willing to do it. So they added this
Bughazi role in and we'll see how it goes. But
it's gonna be a hot mess for most of the season,
at least the first couple of months of the baseball season,
and it'll be great for talk radio. What why don't
you think scoring runs is more exciting in baseball? I'm
not saying it is, I'm saying why why do you

(23:24):
don't think that scoring runs is more not more exciting?
Why do I not think it's exciting? Or do I
think it's exciting? Yeah? Do you think it's exciting to
have more runs being scored than won nothing games? Yes?
I do. Okay, So that's what they're trying to do.
They want to. I know they're trying to do it,
but you're you're it's like you're you're the puppet master.

(23:46):
You're you're in Frankenstein's laboratory with some What else can
they do to change? Like you're trying too hard? You know.
It's kind of like when you're you're dating. You can't
try too hard. You gotta act like you've been there before. Well,
they've done as as much as I could possibly think
they can do to change the rules to get the
more scoring unless they want to, Well why did baseball

(24:08):
end up like this? Angry build? They let nerds in baseball,
That's why it ended up like this. They the Ivy
League crowd and the analytical crowd, and they destroyed baseball.
And every old time baseball player I know, and I've
been lucky enough to know a lot of these guys
that played back in the Stone Age, they all say
the same thing. They all go back to the IVY
League front offices and the people that have the algorithms

(24:30):
and all that they destroyed. Basically, it used to be
like feel of the game. You know, the old manager
would sit there and smoke a cigarette and the dugout.
Maybe I'll hit and run here, you know, crap like that.
Now you got to look at the three ring binder
in the dugout to decide what to do. That's the
changes they've made in it. That's why they think geniuses
like Aaron Boone and the guy Roberts on your beautiful

(24:53):
La Dodgers. I liked them in that spot. Know what
they should do is, here's what I would do if
I was commissioner band smart people from working in the
front office. That's what I would only. Yeah, only baseball genius.
You're the self appointed baseball genius. Though. Did you see

(25:15):
Jacob de Waue? Did you see the Gram? This is great.
Within an hour of showing up in surprise Arizona at
the Texas Rangers camp, he they already shut him down.
The Rangers tweeted out that Jacob de Gram was walking
into the facility, and at less than an hour later,

(25:36):
they announced out of an abundance of caution. The most
fragile man in baseball is being shut down. If he
was a basketball player, he would be Kawhi Leonard or
Anthony Davis. But they're shutting him down. Yeah, all right,
go away. I'm done with you. Thank you. Be sure

Dion Sanders pram time. He recently told the story. The
Colorado football coach revealed that back in his salad days
at Florida State, with a seminole lose. He was also

(27:48):
playing minor league baseball with the Yankees, and the Yankees
gave him a big fat water cash like two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars signing bonus with the Yankees. But
he's still in college at Florida State. So Dion says
he went out and friviously bought a BMW M three.

(28:08):
He was bragging about that and he said it was
probably the dumbest purchase he ever made. Now why is that? Well,
it turns out BMW's a high end vehicle, obviously very
nice car to have if shows people you got a
lot of money and all that. But he points out
he bought the car site unseen. He didn't test drive

(28:30):
or anything like that, and it I guess it was
delivered to him because he did not know how to
drive a stick He bought a car that you was
a stick and he didn't know how to drive a
stick shift and uh, and that that I wasted all
that money on the car, he said. He got in
the car and he's like, what the hell is this.

(28:51):
I don't know what's going on. He's talking about how
ignorant he was and this reminds me of one of
my favorite stories when I covered the La Hippers back
in the day. And it's a legendary story that I
was not around when this guy was playing, but it
was passed down from generations generation. This guy was actually
still playing when I when I started started out covering

(29:11):
the team, there was this guy named Benoit Benjamin who
was a disaster of a player for the Clippers. He
was supposed to be one of the all time great
centers and he was just aloof And so Benoit had
a lot of money also from Louisiana, and he bought
a cigarette boat, you know those thin racing boats. Except

(29:34):
he lived on a on a lake and you could
not use the boat where he lived. He spent like
thousands and thousands of dollars on his boat, and uh,
it was. It was hilarious. Like he he found out
once the boat was delivered that you just could not
use it where he where he lived. It was. It
