Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's a hop, skip and a jump
into our number four wide receiver Stefon Diggs, making all
of us gas bags proud as he claims that neither
the Bills nor Vikings wanted to get rid of him,
and he he was the reason behind those trades. Does
(00:22):
that make sense to you? It obviously does. Also, who's
gonna get more of the blame between Hassan Reddick his
contract Saga, the player or the Jets as he continues
to hold out getting ready for the start of the season.
And Giants head coach Brian Dable confirming months of speculation
(00:44):
that he is taking over the offensive play calling duties.
How does that vibe with you? We'll get to all
of that on a hump day. Happy Happy Wednesday to you.
It's the fourth day of September and this is our
number four. As we write off into the podcast sunset,
can you dig it well?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Come?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
In the beginning of another hour of the Benmallor Show.
We are in the air aywhere as we reside in Dreamland,
and we are always on island, time, coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and flambuoyantly powerful
(01:31):
microphones of FSR am monating live from the avenue the
Banter avenue. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(01:52):
recommended in stars. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
should be Big Regan, Iowa. I spent a lot of time,
ten thousand hours traveling to that Mallard meet and greet
we did back in the day at the Mermaid in Minnesota.
So our lead this hour is from the lone Star state.
But we are not going to be discussing the Dallas Cowboys.
(02:15):
We've decided not to visit Jerry's world, so we will
not go there. Instead, we'll feature that other team in Texas.
I say that in the air quotes an old friend
is back filling up the sports talk radio collection plate. Now,
maybe you know where I'm going with this. Possibly not,
(02:38):
Maybe you're still a little groggy. It's a weird time
of the night slash morning here early in the morning,
so I'll give you the inside skinny on this Texas
wide receiver. Stefawn Diggs Stefan Diggs recently talked about the
trade that sent him from Buffalo and now he's hanging out.
(03:00):
It's a fresh start in Houston. And while Diggs was
very verbose, he dropped the money quote red meat in
the Hungry Wolf's den, talking about his career, which has
seen him bounce from city to city. He said, none
of those teams, meaning the Bills of the Vikings, wanted
to get rid of him. He declared. He said things
(03:25):
had to shake because I kind of wanted them to shake.
Close quote. So this is the part of the show
where we parsed the words. We parsed the words, all
the gibber jabber, we parsed the words. So let us
discuss the question wide receiver Stefan dis claiming that neither
(03:45):
the Bills nor the Vikings wanted to get rid of him,
and that he he was the one who was the
puppeteer pulling the strings on these trades behind the scenes.
Does this make sense to you? So I've got crusty
snap back and closing time, and we are going to
(04:09):
combine all of these things together and try not to
drive the struggle bus. Try not to now to kick off.
This is one of the parts of the show, which
is pretty straightforward. Just so we're on the same wavelength here,
there is only one way to take these comments. You
(04:29):
don't need me to tell you right. You might be
able to tire a little foggy brain fog getting up
starting your day or just ending your day. It's a
weird time. Stefan Diggs. What he just did here is
validate that he is the problem. There's a moment of clarity.
This is a confessional. He has gone full Crusty, as
(04:53):
in Crusty the Clowns, saying the quiet part out loud.
Over the last couple of years we have publicly wrangle
on the bully pulpit with several members of Bill's Mafia
that listen to the show. Some of them are in Buffalo,
some of them are no longer in Buffalo, but they
still represent the Bill. For example, Bill's Monster, he goes
(05:16):
to those Bills games. He's a fan. Andy the comic
book guy who's got the Bill's Mafia flag in his
comic book shop. And these guys, for the last couple
of years called up with all this propaganda over and over.
You're wrong, Ben, you don't know what you're talking about.
You see how everyone loves Stefon Diggs in Buffalo. You're
(05:38):
just part of the fake media accusing me of muckraking, Okay,
Malard muckraker and making this entire beef in Buffalo up
out of thin air. Well, spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Stefan
Diggs has now confirmed that what he was doing was
(05:59):
getting zookery. Okay, if you're driving down the road supporting
life lesson, if you're driving down the road and everyone
is going the wrong way, maybe you are the problem.
I'm just saying, right, I'm just saying, he's an actor
that didn't remember his lines. And Stefon Diggs used the
(06:22):
same signature behavior in Minnesota and then when he went
to Western New York. And so Diggs is fine now, right,
He's fine now in Houston. However, eventually, what's gonna happen,
Something to go wrong CJ Straddle do something or say
(06:43):
something that annoys him, and then it is on like
Donkey Kong. So consider this a warning for CJ. Straut.
I'm getting ready for the TV show this week and
looking at some of the numbers here as the games
are about to begin tomorrow, and we don't pick the
Thursday game for Benny versus Thean I do have to
pick it, but it doesn't make the show because the
(07:05):
show airs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But looking at
where the money is, and there's a lot of people
that think this is a free money game Houston and Indianapolis,
and all you have to do is put a couple
bucks down, a couple of shekels down on the Texans
and they're guaranteed to win. I don't know about that.
Look at some more numbers there. I don't know about that.
(07:26):
When on now, furthermore, we head to the Turnpike in
Jersey as the NFL season beginning. Soon it wraps up
the opening weekend, not in Jersey, but out in California's
We connect the dots here the last game of the weekend,
Monday Night Football, The j E t S Suck Suck
(07:49):
Suck as they travel west a playdate with the forty
nine Ers. That one of the storylines for this game
front and center because Hassan Reddick, while everyone else is
getting paid, Hassan Reddick hasn't gotten paid. So we're gonna
play the blame game. Who gets more of the blame
pie for the Hassan Reddick contract saga is it the
(08:13):
player or is it the Jets. So after a minutes
long Malard investigation, I have determined the scales are leaning
heavily towards Gang Green. That that is the answer. Gang
Green is the answer. And here's the way I look
at this. The Jets, I don't know who's in the cockpit,
(08:35):
but they can land that plane at an airport right
next to a haberdasherie because they have to visit the
haberdashery and they have to pick up a snap back
dunst cap. And here's why. There's an important thing. Here's
another important life less when someone says to you, here's
who I am. Okay, I think you probably need believe them, right,
(09:00):
I mean if you don't believe them, I think that's
about if they're telling you who they are. And Hassan
Reddick let the Philadelphia football team know. He kicked up
some dust and he hemmed and hawed, and he said,
I want a new deal. I want more money. And
the Eagles said, we don't want to pay it more money.
The Jets knew the situation, and so the Eagles said,
(09:22):
all right, why don't you go up I ninety five
go up to New York or Jersey and hang out
with the Jets. And this entire time, the Jets front
office obtuse and they have fined Hassan Reddick fifty thousand
dollars a day all of training camp, over two million
dollars in fines, and yet through it all they remain
(09:45):
at Loggerheads. There is no deal deal on the table, right,
there's nothing there the salary cap. You can get it
done if you want, just finagle the numbers around the
salary cap. Phony. Everyone knows that, and it's it's just
the Jets that don't want to cave in. This is
(10:06):
a battle of machismo at this particular point. That Jets
are like, you haven't played for us, and until you
play for us, we're not gonna give you any more money.
And Reddick's like, well, I don't want to play for you.
I want more money, so screw you. I'll play with anybody,
but not you because you won't pay me. Anybody that
pays me, I'll play for you, all right, last thing
here across the way, we have confirmation as we go
(10:27):
back to a previous Mallet monologue. We've done a couple
of monologue mentions on this Big Blue Giants coach Brian
Dabel has confirmed that he is taking over the duties
is the offensive play caller. He is belittling his offensive coordinator,
but he will call the plays for the GIA and
ts suck suck, suck. So how does that vibe with you?
(10:51):
How does this vibe with you that Brian Able, to
head coach, is going to take over the day to
day responsibility of calling the offense. So Dable, this is
one hundred survival mode. It is indisputable that for Brian
Dable it is closing time. He knows it, You know it,
and I know it. At one point he was a
(11:12):
shining star in the coaching game. Coming out of Buffalo
and being around the stank that is Daniel Jones has
caused him to lose that glitter. There's just nothing glittering there.
So it is closing time. Last call for alcohol at
the Last Chance Saloon. You either figure out Vanilla Vick
(11:36):
or become a coordinator, or do television or radio or
all of the above. Dual podcast High Stakes. It's all
or nothing. It is all or nothing, and that's the
way it is now. The way this show is, I
talk you listen, then you talk, and I don't listen,
(12:01):
but you know, talk anyway. So if you'd like to
be part speakeasy rules are in effect. But you can
join us here if you want to call up and
yell and scream and all that. We've been here all
night and we are just rolling on through these late
night hours here bloviating the overnight hours away. And if
you're someone that only listens this hour, and I hear
(12:22):
this all the time, so yeah, and I can only
hear that that last hour. I get up early. I'm
trying to beat the traffic, and I don't hear the
rest of the show. Well, shortly after the show, our
podcast will be going live, going up there, well live
on tape. And if you missed any of the show. Again,
we've been here all night. Be sure to check out
the podcast. Just search Mallard. It's my last name, m
(12:44):
A l l e R. Wherever you get your podcast,
and be sure to follow, rate and review the podcast. Again,
just search Mallard. That's wherever you get your podcast. I
don't care the company wants to go to iHeart, but
I mean, I don't care. Whatever you want, just as
long as you find the podcast I think we get
credit for it. And you'll see today's show posted right
after we get off the air, and it's posted in order,
(13:04):
so you start an hour one and boom, you keep
playing it. It goes all the way through all four hours
of the show. And if you have attention deficit disorder,
there's a best of, which is the good thing of
the show, because we don't have a lot of good content.
It's about a five minute best of. It's about a
five minute best of, but all that's available on the podcast.
Coming up later this hour, we will have password the
(13:28):
word Game of the Stars coming up a little bit
later in the hour. We look forward to that. Is
it true that a rather odd team, a rather odd
team is expected to make a run at Yankee slugger
Juan Soto? At least that's what the gossip mill is saying.
(13:51):
We will get to that, and we'll take your calls
the whole ship bang. We'll get to that and we
will do it next.

We are rolling through the overnight. Coming up in a
little bit password the word Game of the Stars. Now,
I'd like to learn all the affiliates that hollering James,
I am told has had a meltdown. That hollering James
is Is he quitting the show? Is this it for
hollering James. He's done with our show.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That is what he has told me.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Okay, so James has quit the show.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
So has just popped champagne.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We need a new guy to start screaming like a
lunatic on the show. I thought me and James were
friends for life. We had a meal together at the
Mermaid in Minnesota, so I thought we'd be friends with life.
But he's done. He blew me off.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
It was the first time I had ever heard him curse,
very angry.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
He was upset. He wanted to be picked for the
game show last hour. He was annoyed that he was
not picked, and so he has decided that that's it.
He's done with the show. What's the over under on
how many days before hollering James comes back to the show.
I'm gonna go one. I think he's back tomorrow. I agree, Yeah,
all right, Lorena, you would disagree.

You think I'm gonna say he comes back next Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Next Wednesday? Why would of all the days, why would
that be the day that you pick?
Speaker 9 (16:11):
Feel like it's going to be a good day.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Gravitational pull, There's.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Something going on there. I'd be throwing a clue out
I don't know. Blake in Arkansas says man. When do
Poopy and the queen pick against each other? We have
scheduled that tentatively for our Friday show Thursday into Friday
next week. No, no, this week, I'm not Oh that's right,
(16:36):

We gotta get her picks before she leaves today.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, we'll get your We'll get your.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Picks, and then Coop, you can pretend you're me, or
you could have Bree call in and pretend to be me.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
All you women sound the same.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I know it's so true, especially if we talk like this.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Wow, you take a jot break. That's a low blog there,
you that's that feminine rivalry.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Y talking about.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh my goodness, they are at each other's throats here.
We got a full on catfight going on it.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
My God didn't like coming out and stealing her thunderle.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, a little love from the listeners. All of a sudden,
you might have you might have to take some time
off there.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Honestly, I think my impression is getting very good. It's
very very good.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
You see what she thinks about that?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That is a low blow. Now you's gonna be boxing
out on the on the street anyway. Uh so we'll
get your pick off the air, and so you will
not be here for the first edition. We need some imaging.
We need like an imaging thing. Any chance we can
get an imaging thing by Friday? No?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Zero chance zero.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I mean most of our opens have people that are
dead in them. I mean we we can't. There's no way, right,
is it possible that I can't get an s though
in like lame jokes like at this point, it's part
of the charm we brought back Sports JEOPARDI. Spin Max
is seventy years old, but he's still in imaging on that.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
The old spin Max from Spin Dollar.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Good old spin Max there, one of the favorites in
the early days of Fox Sports Radio, one of our
regular callers, just the Queen and.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
The Poppy, like the Queen and the Popper, Popper.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
In the well.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah we can. I don't know, that's be careful, but yeah,
let's go to Ivan, who's in the Inland Empire in
southern California in the side your side. What's going on? Ivan?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Hey, I was just.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Wondering if you're still looking for the farm animal to
join the pig or the join the picks? I got,
I got a pig.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, we had a we had a couple of farmers
that offered pigs, but nobody seemed like they could do
it every week. And so it's a big commitment. Ivan,
it's like every single week with the pig.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
You know, I got you daily, bro.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
You promise what kind of what kind of pig are
we talking about?
Speaker 12 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (18:56):
Pop Billy?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
How fat is the pig?
Speaker 11 (19:00):
I mean about as fat as a pig gets.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Well, there's different sized pigs. I mean, don't they commercial
farmers fatten up the pigs, take him the slaughters and
then how they do it right? So you get a
lot of bacon and all that stuff out of the pig. Yeah,
is this like a it's like a pet for you? Ivan?
You have like a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
She's a she's a rescue. Actually we've saved her from
getting attacked by a couple of dogs, so she's anytime
to and and uh.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And I have I have a couple of dogs. What's
it like having a pig? Is it our pigs? Gray?
Are they better than dogs? Are they dirty? Are they filthy?
Can you play tricks with them? Hows it work?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
She's pretty pretty clean, like the keys in the mudbath.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, who doesn't like a mud bath every once in
a while.
Speaker 11 (19:46):
She pretty much just maintains herself, eats everything in the yard.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Everything okay? And how much you do you have to
worry about feeding the pig or the pig just eats whatever.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
It wants, eat whatever she finds.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh? Man, so the pig's like a rat, like like
a subway rat in Manhattan, just eating and everything. Man,
all right, now, hold on, I say, so Ivan's offering
a pig. Could we do Poppy versus the pig versus
LORRAINA Would that be too much?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
It's a lot of moving parts, I would say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I mean it's hard enough to get everyone here. Like,
I like the offer Ivan, and I originally was going
to have Poppy versus the pig. But I think I
think we're probably gonna pass. But if this thing with Lorraine.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Are you saying I'm replacing the pig?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
No, Poppy is that's that's your interpretation. I never said that.
That's that's how you're interpreting it. So here's I'll make
a deal with Ivan if this bit is, if it's
a disaster, we'll call you in out of the bullpen.
So you say, you listen every day, so we'll call
you in out of the bullpen and we'll say, Ivan,
come save us. We need the pig, and then come out.
(21:00):
You'll come out of the bullpen and you'll save the show.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Okay, sound good?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
All right? Thank you Ivan. All right, there's Ivan. That's
very kind of an offer's pig for the show's.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
He sounded very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah he did. But Ozzie was who's in Western Australia.
He had offered his He said he lives on a
farm out in the middle of nowhere, and he offered
his animals and then he kind of disappeared. And I
don't know what happened with that. I mean's it for
a while and then he's gone, and so I let's
trying to figure it out, trying to do the math
on that. So let's go to Chris, who is in
(21:37):
the Commonwealth. Hello Chris, welcome, Hello Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Good morning everybody, Lorena and Eddie and Cooper.
Speaker 12 (21:44):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
If I was any better, I'd be a sock, but
not a red Sox because they are free falling, free falling.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You were speaking about pigs, right, So Pick is Alice Korra,
who got his contract for three years. He complained to
playing last year. He stamped his foot. He left people
out there because he was so mad at Tim Bloom
stamping his feet, and blah blah blah, said he wouldn't
probably wouldn't signed. We're not talk contract during the season,
but then he got his money and boys he quiet
(22:18):
and on Sunday Cooper Chriswell goes fifty two pitches with
no hits and five strikeouts, and they bring in rich
Still from the whiffletball team, forty four year old Richil
and they lose to Detroit. I hate it. I think
it's gross.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
He said. That was the plan. Move's plan.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's nerds. I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Ben, Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's boiler plate. That's by
the book managing like you could do that. I could
do that. Anybody could do that, right. That's how hard
is that? You just you have it all planned out
and whatever happens, you're just gonna follow the plane. But
I want what is the Red Sox record? Alex Kora
got the extension On July twenty fourth, they announced the extension.
(23:02):
I wonder what the Red Sox record is. I'll have
to look it up. I don't have it in front
of me, but I want to with the record since
you're like twenty fourth, because it does seem like they
were under five hundred since that point. And there were
reports out of the Red Sox locker room last night,
a funeral atmosphere, A funeral atmosphere in the Red Sox
clubhouse last night.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, yeah, Ben, Yeah, but it's Cora, Like I think
you know, the cheating Chlora got his money and now
he's playing by the rules. He didn't do last day.
He was so mad by the rules. This year he
got the contract, gets to stay in Boston for three years.
He's like, I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Five Well, what you're saying, what you're saying is that
he got paid and now the Red Sox are getting played,
is what you're saying. Right, that's where he got He
got the contract and then all right, well we'll see
you very angry.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I could be angry Bill and angry Chris.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Well, don't be angry, but nobody wants to be angry Bill.
You don't want to be do that? Love you? All right?
Thank you? There he goes. Let's see the Red Sox
record they were fifty four and forty eight. It's just
a malor matth here. There's no chance I can get
this right right, I'm gonna completely screw this up. So
there were fifty four and forty eight on July twenty four,
(24:15):
they got smoking. You have twenty runs to the Rockies
on that particular day, but they were still six games
over five hundred. The Red Sox now are seventy and
sixty and so they're one game over five. So my
computer like brain tells me the Red Sox are five
games under five hundred. Since they gave Alex Korra the extension.
(24:37):
That wasn't that hard. That's kind of simple. I think
anybody could do that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Pacific college football, Florida State has fallen completely out of
the top twenty five after opening the season with two losses.
Georgia and Ohio State remained one to two. Texas at three,
Alabama four, and Notre Dame at number five. USC moved
up ten spots to thirteenth. LSU dropped from thirteen to
eighteen with the loss of the Trojans and Clemson fell
the number twenty five after losing to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now that's impressive that Clemson is still in the top
twenty five considering well, we got absolutely smoked in the
second half of that game.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Yeah, when you lose to the number one team, they
give you some consideration.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So you don't even compete in the game really in
the second half, and it doesn't matter anyway. It is
the Ben Malor Show as we are rolling through the
overnight hours and so glad you have chosen to spend
some time with us as we hang out with you,

mogul there in Arkansas. He's got a great question, he says,
he wants to know the queen's strategy, Lorraine, is she
gonna go with the cutest quarterback, the color of the teams,
(26:04):
the mascot. Just a gut feeling like what's your strategy here,
and Blake says that not that it will matter. He
says he will be betting one thousand dollars that you're
gonna beat Poppy over the course of the season. Blake's
gonna put one thousand dollars up that you're going to
(26:25):
beat Poppy.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Wow, that has a lot of pressure at it on there?
Do I get the thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Where does the bylaws? I don't know if that's allowed.
I don't know about that, but maybe it could be
worked out. You'd have to look with legal for that.
So do you have a strategy you're gonna.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
You know, I have this rule of thumb, ben Okay,
I've played it my whole life.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay, just make it up as you go.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
Okay, that's my first thought that comes into your brain.
You go with the opposite.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Is that that's interesting. I'd always heard it was the
other way around, trust your first instinct.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
See, and then there were so many times where I
trusted my first instinct and it was wrong and I
should have gone with the opposite.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
So hence why I.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Made it my thing and I got to do the opposite.
So I'll probably use that as my strategy.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Next, This explains so much.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, now do you know what my strategy of life is?
Have you heard my strategy of life?
Speaker 9 (27:21):
No one is to be the best.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, no, no, I don't want to be because the best
means is good to all the rest. So my strategy
is to It's very simple. I took this from an
old Hollywood actor. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
you baffle them with bowl something. You know. That's what
used to do it. Just baffle people brilliant And that's yeah.
I've raised my highest level of incompetence right here behind
(27:46):
these microphones, and I get to talk to people like
none other than Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel, Oh, good.
Speaker 12 (27:55):

by me. Well here's a fun fact that one. Thanks
for cleaning up my work here. So Kyle Schwarber joined
Michael Jack Schmidt as just the second player in franchise
history that five hits and three home runs in the
same game. Says historic game in Phillies history. If you're
(29:02):
of a certain age, you know about this game. It
was the Phillies Cubs nineteen seventy six at Wrigley Field,
and that was the ridiculously high scoring game the Cubs
in phil The wind was blowing out that day at
Wrigley Field, and Schwarber the first Philly player since at
least nineteen hundred to have two three home run games
in a single season. Marcel, here's a bonus fun fact

Speaker 1 (37:36):
And we are out of time. Well you should probably
said it then because you didn't win the game. But
thank you for playing. And I don't even know my
guy hung up in won
Hello and welcome. It's a hop, skip and a jump
into our number four wide receiver Stefon Diggs, making all
of us gas bags proud as he claims that neither
the Bills nor Vikings wanted to get rid of him,
and he he was the reason behind those trades. Does
(00:22):
that make sense to you? It obviously does. Also, who's
gonna get more of the blame between Hassan Reddick his
contract Saga, the player or the Jets as he continues
to hold out getting ready for the start of the season.
And Giants head coach Brian Dable confirming months of speculation
(00:44):
that he is taking over the offensive play calling duties.
How does that vibe with you? We'll get to all
of that on a hump day. Happy Happy Wednesday to you.
It's the fourth day of September and this is our
number four. As we write off into the podcast sunset,
can you dig it well?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Come?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
In the beginning of another hour of the Benmallor Show.
We are in the air aywhere as we reside in Dreamland,
and we are always on island, time, coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and flambuoyantly powerful
(01:31):
microphones of FSR am monating live from the avenue the
Banter avenue. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(01:52):
recommended in stars. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
should be Big Regan, Iowa. I spent a lot of time,
ten thousand hours traveling to that Mallard meet and greet
we did back in the day at the Mermaid in Minnesota.
So our lead this hour is from the lone Star state.
But we are not going to be discussing the Dallas Cowboys.
(02:15):
We've decided not to visit Jerry's world, so we will
not go there. Instead, we'll feature that other team in Texas.
I say that in the air quotes an old friend
is back filling up the sports talk radio collection plate. Now,
maybe you know where I'm going with this. Possibly not,
(02:38):
Maybe you're still a little groggy. It's a weird time
of the night slash morning here early in the morning,
so I'll give you the inside skinny on this Texas
wide receiver. Stefawn Diggs Stefan Diggs recently talked about the
trade that sent him from Buffalo and now he's hanging out.
(03:00):
It's a fresh start in Houston. And while Diggs was
very verbose, he dropped the money quote red meat in
the Hungry Wolf's den, talking about his career, which has
seen him bounce from city to city. He said, none
of those teams, meaning the Bills of the Vikings, wanted
to get rid of him. He declared. He said things
(03:25):
had to shake because I kind of wanted them to shake.
Close quote. So this is the part of the show
where we parsed the words. We parsed the words, all
the gibber jabber, we parsed the words. So let us
discuss the question wide receiver Stefan dis claiming that neither
(03:45):
the Bills nor the Vikings wanted to get rid of him,
and that he he was the one who was the
puppeteer pulling the strings on these trades behind the scenes.
Does this make sense to you? So I've got crusty
snap back and closing time, and we are going to
(04:09):
combine all of these things together and try not to
drive the struggle bus. Try not to now to kick off.
This is one of the parts of the show, which
is pretty straightforward. Just so we're on the same wavelength here,
there is only one way to take these comments. You
(04:29):
don't need me to tell you right. You might be
able to tire a little foggy brain fog getting up
starting your day or just ending your day. It's a
weird time. Stefan Diggs. What he just did here is
validate that he is the problem. There's a moment of clarity.
This is a confessional. He has gone full Crusty, as
(04:53):
in Crusty the Clowns, saying the quiet part out loud.
Over the last couple of years we have publicly wrangle
on the bully pulpit with several members of Bill's Mafia
that listen to the show. Some of them are in Buffalo,
some of them are no longer in Buffalo, but they
still represent the Bill. For example, Bill's Monster, he goes
(05:16):
to those Bills games. He's a fan. Andy the comic
book guy who's got the Bill's Mafia flag in his
comic book shop. And these guys, for the last couple
of years called up with all this propaganda over and over.
You're wrong, Ben, you don't know what you're talking about.
You see how everyone loves Stefon Diggs in Buffalo. You're
(05:38):
just part of the fake media accusing me of muckraking, Okay,
Malard muckraker and making this entire beef in Buffalo up
out of thin air. Well, spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Stefan
Diggs has now confirmed that what he was doing was
(05:59):
getting zookery. Okay, if you're driving down the road supporting
life lesson, if you're driving down the road and everyone
is going the wrong way, maybe you are the problem.
I'm just saying, right, I'm just saying, he's an actor
that didn't remember his lines. And Stefon Diggs used the
(06:22):
same signature behavior in Minnesota and then when he went
to Western New York. And so Diggs is fine now, right,
He's fine now in Houston. However, eventually, what's gonna happen,
Something to go wrong CJ Straddle do something or say
(06:43):
something that annoys him, and then it is on like
Donkey Kong. So consider this a warning for CJ. Straut.
I'm getting ready for the TV show this week and
looking at some of the numbers here as the games
are about to begin tomorrow, and we don't pick the
Thursday game for Benny versus Thean I do have to
pick it, but it doesn't make the show because the
(07:05):
show airs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But looking at
where the money is, and there's a lot of people
that think this is a free money game Houston and Indianapolis,
and all you have to do is put a couple
bucks down, a couple of shekels down on the Texans
and they're guaranteed to win. I don't know about that.
Look at some more numbers there. I don't know about that.
(07:26):
When on now, furthermore, we head to the Turnpike in
Jersey as the NFL season beginning. Soon it wraps up
the opening weekend, not in Jersey, but out in California's
We connect the dots here the last game of the weekend,
Monday Night Football, The j E t S Suck Suck
(07:49):
Suck as they travel west a playdate with the forty
nine Ers. That one of the storylines for this game
front and center because Hassan Reddick, while everyone else is
getting paid, Hassan Reddick hasn't gotten paid. So we're gonna
play the blame game. Who gets more of the blame
pie for the Hassan Reddick contract saga is it the
(08:13):
player or is it the Jets. So after a minutes
long Malard investigation, I have determined the scales are leaning
heavily towards Gang Green. That that is the answer. Gang
Green is the answer. And here's the way I look
at this. The Jets, I don't know who's in the cockpit,
(08:35):
but they can land that plane at an airport right
next to a haberdasherie because they have to visit the
haberdashery and they have to pick up a snap back
dunst cap. And here's why. There's an important thing. Here's
another important life less when someone says to you, here's
who I am. Okay, I think you probably need believe them, right,
(09:00):
I mean if you don't believe them, I think that's
about if they're telling you who they are. And Hassan
Reddick let the Philadelphia football team know. He kicked up
some dust and he hemmed and hawed, and he said,
I want a new deal. I want more money. And
the Eagles said, we don't want to pay it more money.
The Jets knew the situation, and so the Eagles said,
(09:22):
all right, why don't you go up I ninety five
go up to New York or Jersey and hang out
with the Jets. And this entire time, the Jets front
office obtuse and they have fined Hassan Reddick fifty thousand
dollars a day all of training camp, over two million
dollars in fines, and yet through it all they remain
(09:45):
at Loggerheads. There is no deal deal on the table, right,
there's nothing there the salary cap. You can get it
done if you want, just finagle the numbers around the
salary cap. Phony. Everyone knows that, and it's it's just
the Jets that don't want to cave in. This is
(10:06):
a battle of machismo at this particular point. That Jets
are like, you haven't played for us, and until you
play for us, we're not gonna give you any more money.
And Reddick's like, well, I don't want to play for you.
I want more money, so screw you. I'll play with anybody,
but not you because you won't pay me. Anybody that
pays me, I'll play for you, all right, last thing
here across the way, we have confirmation as we go
(10:27):
back to a previous Mallet monologue. We've done a couple
of monologue mentions on this Big Blue Giants coach Brian
Dabel has confirmed that he is taking over the duties
is the offensive play caller. He is belittling his offensive coordinator,
but he will call the plays for the GIA and
ts suck suck, suck. So how does that vibe with you?
(10:51):
How does this vibe with you that Brian Able, to
head coach, is going to take over the day to
day responsibility of calling the offense. So Dable, this is
one hundred survival mode. It is indisputable that for Brian
Dable it is closing time. He knows it, You know it,
and I know it. At one point he was a
(11:12):
shining star in the coaching game. Coming out of Buffalo
and being around the stank that is Daniel Jones has
caused him to lose that glitter. There's just nothing glittering there.
So it is closing time. Last call for alcohol at
the Last Chance Saloon. You either figure out Vanilla Vick
(11:36):
or become a coordinator, or do television or radio or
all of the above. Dual podcast High Stakes. It's all
or nothing. It is all or nothing, and that's the
way it is now. The way this show is, I
talk you listen, then you talk, and I don't listen,
(12:01):
but you know, talk anyway. So if you'd like to
be part speakeasy rules are in effect. But you can
join us here if you want to call up and
yell and scream and all that. We've been here all
night and we are just rolling on through these late
night hours here bloviating the overnight hours away. And if
you're someone that only listens this hour, and I hear
(12:22):
this all the time, so yeah, and I can only
hear that that last hour. I get up early. I'm
trying to beat the traffic, and I don't hear the
rest of the show. Well, shortly after the show, our
podcast will be going live, going up there, well live
on tape. And if you missed any of the show. Again,
we've been here all night. Be sure to check out
the podcast. Just search Mallard. It's my last name, m
(12:44):
A l l e R. Wherever you get your podcast,
and be sure to follow, rate and review the podcast. Again,
just search Mallard. That's wherever you get your podcast. I
don't care the company wants to go to iHeart, but
I mean, I don't care. Whatever you want, just as
long as you find the podcast I think we get
credit for it. And you'll see today's show posted right
after we get off the air, and it's posted in order,
(13:04):
so you start an hour one and boom, you keep
playing it. It goes all the way through all four hours
of the show. And if you have attention deficit disorder,
there's a best of, which is the good thing of
the show, because we don't have a lot of good content.
It's about a five minute best of. It's about a
five minute best of, but all that's available on the podcast.
Coming up later this hour, we will have password the
(13:28):
word Game of the Stars coming up a little bit
later in the hour. We look forward to that. Is
it true that a rather odd team, a rather odd
team is expected to make a run at Yankee slugger
Juan Soto? At least that's what the gossip mill is saying.
(13:51):
We will get to that, and we'll take your calls
the whole ship bang. We'll get to that and we
will do it next.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
We are rolling through the overnight. Coming up in a
little bit password the word Game of the Stars. Now,
I'd like to learn all the affiliates that hollering James,
I am told has had a meltdown. That hollering James
is Is he quitting the show? Is this it for
hollering James. He's done with our show.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That is what he has told me.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Okay, so James has quit the show.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
So has just popped champagne.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We need a new guy to start screaming like a
lunatic on the show. I thought me and James were
friends for life. We had a meal together at the
Mermaid in Minnesota, so I thought we'd be friends with life.
But he's done. He blew me off.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
It was the first time I had ever heard him curse,
very angry.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
He was upset. He wanted to be picked for the
game show last hour. He was annoyed that he was
not picked, and so he has decided that that's it.
He's done with the show. What's the over under on
how many days before hollering James comes back to the show.
I'm gonna go one. I think he's back tomorrow. I agree, Yeah,
all right, Lorena, you would disagree.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
You think I'm gonna say he comes back next Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Next Wednesday? Why would of all the days, why would
that be the day that you pick?
Speaker 9 (16:11):
Feel like it's going to be a good day.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Gravitational pull, There's.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Something going on there. I'd be throwing a clue out
I don't know. Blake in Arkansas says man. When do
Poopy and the queen pick against each other? We have
scheduled that tentatively for our Friday show Thursday into Friday
next week. No, no, this week, I'm not Oh that's right,
(16:36):

We gotta get her picks before she leaves today.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, we'll get your We'll get your.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Picks, and then Coop, you can pretend you're me, or
you could have Bree call in and pretend to be me.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
All you women sound the same.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I know it's so true, especially if we talk like this.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Wow, you take a jot break. That's a low blog there,
you that's that feminine rivalry.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Y talking about.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh my goodness, they are at each other's throats here.
We got a full on catfight going on it.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
My God didn't like coming out and stealing her thunderle.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, a little love from the listeners. All of a sudden,
you might have you might have to take some time
off there.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Honestly, I think my impression is getting very good. It's
very very good.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
You see what she thinks about that?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That is a low blow. Now you's gonna be boxing
out on the on the street anyway. Uh so we'll
get your pick off the air, and so you will
not be here for the first edition. We need some imaging.
We need like an imaging thing. Any chance we can
get an imaging thing by Friday? No?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Zero chance zero.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I mean most of our opens have people that are
dead in them. I mean we we can't. There's no way, right,
is it possible that I can't get an s though
in like lame jokes like at this point, it's part
of the charm we brought back Sports JEOPARDI. Spin Max
is seventy years old, but he's still in imaging on that.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
The old spin Max from Spin Dollar.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Good old spin Max there, one of the favorites in
the early days of Fox Sports Radio, one of our
regular callers, just the Queen and.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
The Poppy, like the Queen and the Popper, Popper.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
In the well.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah we can. I don't know, that's be careful, but yeah,
let's go to Ivan, who's in the Inland Empire in
southern California in the side your side. What's going on? Ivan?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Hey, I was just.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Wondering if you're still looking for the farm animal to
join the pig or the join the picks? I got,
I got a pig.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, we had a we had a couple of farmers
that offered pigs, but nobody seemed like they could do
it every week. And so it's a big commitment. Ivan,
it's like every single week with the pig.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
You know, I got you daily, bro.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
You promise what kind of what kind of pig are
we talking about?
Speaker 12 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (18:56):
Pop Billy?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
How fat is the pig?
Speaker 11 (19:00):
I mean about as fat as a pig gets.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Well, there's different sized pigs. I mean, don't they commercial
farmers fatten up the pigs, take him the slaughters and
then how they do it right? So you get a
lot of bacon and all that stuff out of the pig. Yeah,
is this like a it's like a pet for you? Ivan?
You have like a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
She's a she's a rescue. Actually we've saved her from
getting attacked by a couple of dogs, so she's anytime
to and and uh.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And I have I have a couple of dogs. What's
it like having a pig? Is it our pigs? Gray?
Are they better than dogs? Are they dirty? Are they filthy?
Can you play tricks with them? Hows it work?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
She's pretty pretty clean, like the keys in the mudbath.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, who doesn't like a mud bath every once in
a while.
Speaker 11 (19:46):
She pretty much just maintains herself, eats everything in the yard.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Everything okay? And how much you do you have to
worry about feeding the pig or the pig just eats whatever.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
It wants, eat whatever she finds.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh? Man, so the pig's like a rat, like like
a subway rat in Manhattan, just eating and everything. Man,
all right, now, hold on, I say, so Ivan's offering
a pig. Could we do Poppy versus the pig versus
LORRAINA Would that be too much?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
It's a lot of moving parts, I would say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I mean it's hard enough to get everyone here. Like,
I like the offer Ivan, and I originally was going
to have Poppy versus the pig. But I think I
think we're probably gonna pass. But if this thing with Lorraine.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Are you saying I'm replacing the pig?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
No, Poppy is that's that's your interpretation. I never said that.
That's that's how you're interpreting it. So here's I'll make
a deal with Ivan if this bit is, if it's
a disaster, we'll call you in out of the bullpen.
So you say, you listen every day, so we'll call
you in out of the bullpen and we'll say, Ivan,
come save us. We need the pig, and then come out.
(21:00):
You'll come out of the bullpen and you'll save the show.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Okay, sound good?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
All right? Thank you Ivan. All right, there's Ivan. That's
very kind of an offer's pig for the show's.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
He sounded very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah he did. But Ozzie was who's in Western Australia.
He had offered his He said he lives on a
farm out in the middle of nowhere, and he offered
his animals and then he kind of disappeared. And I
don't know what happened with that. I mean's it for
a while and then he's gone, and so I let's
trying to figure it out, trying to do the math
on that. So let's go to Chris, who is in
(21:37):
the Commonwealth. Hello Chris, welcome, Hello Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Good morning everybody, Lorena and Eddie and Cooper.
Speaker 12 (21:44):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
If I was any better, I'd be a sock, but
not a red Sox because they are free falling, free falling.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You were speaking about pigs, right, So Pick is Alice Korra,
who got his contract for three years. He complained to
playing last year. He stamped his foot. He left people
out there because he was so mad at Tim Bloom
stamping his feet, and blah blah blah, said he wouldn't
probably wouldn't signed. We're not talk contract during the season,
but then he got his money and boys he quiet
(22:18):
and on Sunday Cooper Chriswell goes fifty two pitches with
no hits and five strikeouts, and they bring in rich
Still from the whiffletball team, forty four year old Richil
and they lose to Detroit. I hate it. I think
it's gross.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
He said. That was the plan. Move's plan.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's nerds. I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Ben, Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's boiler plate. That's by
the book managing like you could do that. I could
do that. Anybody could do that, right. That's how hard
is that? You just you have it all planned out
and whatever happens, you're just gonna follow the plane. But
I want what is the Red Sox record? Alex Kora
got the extension On July twenty fourth, they announced the extension.
(23:02):
I wonder what the Red Sox record is. I'll have
to look it up. I don't have it in front
of me, but I want to with the record since
you're like twenty fourth, because it does seem like they
were under five hundred since that point. And there were
reports out of the Red Sox locker room last night,
a funeral atmosphere, A funeral atmosphere in the Red Sox
clubhouse last night.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, yeah, Ben, Yeah, but it's Cora, Like I think
you know, the cheating Chlora got his money and now
he's playing by the rules. He didn't do last day.
He was so mad by the rules. This year he
got the contract, gets to stay in Boston for three years.
He's like, I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Five Well, what you're saying, what you're saying is that
he got paid and now the Red Sox are getting played,
is what you're saying. Right, that's where he got He
got the contract and then all right, well we'll see
you very angry.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I could be angry Bill and angry Chris.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Well, don't be angry, but nobody wants to be angry Bill.
You don't want to be do that? Love you? All right?
Thank you? There he goes. Let's see the Red Sox
record they were fifty four and forty eight. It's just
a malor matth here. There's no chance I can get
this right right, I'm gonna completely screw this up. So
there were fifty four and forty eight on July twenty four,
(24:15):
they got smoking. You have twenty runs to the Rockies
on that particular day, but they were still six games
over five hundred. The Red Sox now are seventy and
sixty and so they're one game over five. So my
computer like brain tells me the Red Sox are five
games under five hundred. Since they gave Alex Korra the extension.
(24:37):
That wasn't that hard. That's kind of simple. I think
anybody could do that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Pacific college football, Florida State has fallen completely out of
the top twenty five after opening the season with two losses.
Georgia and Ohio State remained one to two. Texas at three,
Alabama four, and Notre Dame at number five. USC moved
up ten spots to thirteenth. LSU dropped from thirteen to
eighteen with the loss of the Trojans and Clemson fell
the number twenty five after losing to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now that's impressive that Clemson is still in the top
twenty five considering well, we got absolutely smoked in the
second half of that game.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Yeah, when you lose to the number one team, they
give you some consideration.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So you don't even compete in the game really in
the second half, and it doesn't matter anyway. It is
the Ben Malor Show as we are rolling through the
overnight hours and so glad you have chosen to spend
some time with us as we hang out with you,
and don't forget try the podcast and when we get done,
and this show is sponsored by DraftKings, stay tuned because
(25:41):
very soon you'll be hearing more about DraftKings and all
it has to offer throughout the show, DraftKings, the Crown
is yours and our buddy Blake in Arkansas, big business
mogul there in Arkansas. He's got a great question, he says,
he wants to know the queen's strategy, Lorraine, is she
gonna go with the cutest quarterback, the color of the teams,
(26:04):
the mascot. Just a gut feeling like what's your strategy here,
and Blake says that not that it will matter. He
says he will be betting one thousand dollars that you're
gonna beat Poppy over the course of the season. Blake's
gonna put one thousand dollars up that you're going to
(26:25):
beat Poppy.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Wow, that has a lot of pressure at it on there?
Do I get the thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Where does the bylaws? I don't know if that's allowed.
I don't know about that, but maybe it could be
worked out. You'd have to look with legal for that.
So do you have a strategy you're gonna.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
You know, I have this rule of thumb, ben Okay,
I've played it my whole life.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay, just make it up as you go.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
Okay, that's my first thought that comes into your brain.
You go with the opposite.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Is that that's interesting. I'd always heard it was the
other way around, trust your first instinct.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
See, and then there were so many times where I
trusted my first instinct and it was wrong and I
should have gone with the opposite.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
So hence why I.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Made it my thing and I got to do the opposite.
So I'll probably use that as my strategy.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Next, This explains so much.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, now do you know what my strategy of life is?
Have you heard my strategy of life?
Speaker 9 (27:21):
No one is to be the best.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, no, no, I don't want to be because the best
means is good to all the rest. So my strategy
is to It's very simple. I took this from an
old Hollywood actor. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
you baffle them with bowl something. You know. That's what
used to do it. Just baffle people brilliant And that's yeah.
I've raised my highest level of incompetence right here behind
(27:46):
these microphones, and I get to talk to people like
none other than Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel, Oh, good.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
Morning Eddie, Ben Lorena, and welcome back Coop de Loop.
Oh my gosh, those mats are on fire last night.
Speaker 1 (28:11):

Did the Mets make the pluffs? They're closing in on
the Atlanta Braves here, they're right breathing down the next
of the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 12 (28:20):
Oh yes, it is those orange and blue as going
to make things fire. Hey, the TV picks with Robin Vegas.
Hope he'll be here coming at Youbao. Okay, you ready
for some Ben Maurs fun fact?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Well let's oh you want a fun bet, you're fun fact.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Oh that's right, I forgot the fun fact. Bad job
by me. Well here's a fun fact that one. Thanks
for cleaning up my work here. So Kyle Schwarber joined
Michael Jack Schmidt as just the second player in franchise
history that five hits and three home runs in the
same game. Says historic game in Phillies history. If you're
(29:02):
of a certain age, you know about this game. It
was the Phillies Cubs nineteen seventy six at Wrigley Field,
and that was the ridiculously high scoring game the Cubs
in phil The wind was blowing out that day at
Wrigley Field, and Schwarber the first Philly player since at
least nineteen hundred to have two three home run games
in a single season. Marcel, here's a bonus fun fact
(29:26):
for Marcel. Bonus fun fact. We no longer have time
for TV picks. So can you promote password the word

Now there's a two leg parlay. I got Jacoby Burssett
(30:30):
on DraftKings right now. I got him under two hundred
and three and a half yards passing against the Bengals.
There's a chance per set doesn't even finish the game.
And if he does finish the game, he'll be about
one hundred and thirty yards passing. That's about it. And
then Deshaun Watson in that Browns Cowboys game, the debut
of Tom Brady on the on the Fox broadcast, Deshaun
(30:52):
Watson blows. The total is two hundred and twenty two
and a half on DraftKings right now, bet the under
