Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pizza, Pizza. It's our number four, our number four, and
a boom shock a locker to you. Falcons owner Arthur
Blank issued a vote of confidence to coach Raheem Morris
and his staff and the roster after the seventh straight
losing season. How much weight does that vote of confidence have?
(00:20):
And Terry McLaurin and the commanders have not made any
substantial progress on a contract, even though he's now shown
up to practice to be a hold in. Are you surprised?
And Seattle's cal rally is now a favorite to win
al NVP honors you buying or selling this. We'll get
(00:40):
to all that and more. Have a wonderful, wonderful start
to your week on this Monday, the twenty eighth day
of July. Here it is our number four. The dirty
birds beat shirping. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air
(01:01):
everywhere right near by as we are glazed nimaze coast
to coast, port of the border and beyond. On the
vast and stupendously powerful microphones of fs are amminating live
from the shelves as our hot takes fly off the
(01:22):
shells from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
Perito in La and our friend Ruth who's up all
night and says she should be sleeping, but she cannot
go to bed because she has to hear the entire show,
and this portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible
in part by our friends at tire i Raq. For
(01:43):
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 free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq
dot com. The way tire buying should be. So our
lead this hour is from Atlanta and the exhibition games.
(02:06):
Now they get going. The Falcons not in the exhibition
game this week, but the exhibition games get going in
a couple of days, one game on Thursday, and as
the NFL gears up non stop football between next week
will kind of full football, full football and then the
(02:27):
real football about a month later. So one NFL owner
decided to issue a full throated endorsement for his coaching
staff and the roster that his team has. And who
would that be? That would be none other than the
aforementioned Arthur Blank of the Dirty Birds, the Atlanta Falcons
owner Arthur Blank, who gave a vote of support over
(02:49):
the weekend for Raheem Morris, the coach, and the roster.
So let us discuss the question Falcons owner, the patriarch
of the home Depot Empire, Arthur Blank, issuing a vote
of confidence for Raheem Morris's coaching staff and also the
roster in Atlanta. They've had seven straight losing seasons. How
(03:13):
much weight? How much weight does this have? So I've
got Barbie Dreamhouse, rom Com and Turbotastic, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna make
delicious cupcakes. Yum, yum to my tomue tumb All right,
So to kick off, this is when you say, hey,
(03:35):
I support the coaching staff, I support the roster the
way Arthur Blank did over the weekend, unsolicited. Unsolicited. This
is the corporate version of saying, we're all good here,
We're all good. Everything's great, right, building's on fire, everything's good,
everything's all right. Nothing to see here. That's it. Seven
(03:58):
straight losing season seven seven. Now, all of a sudden,
the pieces are going to magically click together. Give me
a bloody break, as we like to say. So the
whole roster thing doesn't make a lot of sense. Are
there some good players on the Falcons? Yes? Are there
(04:20):
players that don't fit together? Absolutely? A lot of mismatched.
It's like somebody that dresses themselves as no fashion sense
and just everything's all over. It's like an Ikea maybe
a better now, Jesus. It's like going to Ikea and
buying a piece of furniture and then you lose the
(04:40):
instructions which you got to put it together. It's like, well,
you know, really have the instructions. So you've got a
head coach who comes from a defensive background, Raheem Morris.
Your defense rarely gets a third down stop and overall,
out of thirty two teams, twenty second in total defense
(05:03):
last season. So you look at the rosters like, yeah,
some good players or some players that don't really fit together.
It's like you're trying to build the lego version of
the Death Star and you're only using pieces from the
Barbie Dreamhouse. It doesn't really work. It does not go together.
It does not fit together.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
As for Arthur Blank, the owner, they're sitting there and
the turtle neck like he's Steve Jobs from back in
the day. They're telling everyone who will listen, it's fine,
there's nothing to see here. While it is a damn mess, right,
It is like a roster again, it's like a Frankenstein
type roster. Well some of it looks okay and the
rest of it's like it's just connected. There's just some
(05:43):
dysfunction over there. And you've got Arthur Blank medling. Gaaronteed
Arthur Blank meddling. Since Dan Quinn gagged against the Patriots
in the Super Bowl, it's been one whiff after another
whiff for the Falcons, and he treats his team like
going to home Depot where he made all his money.
(06:05):
Go to home Depot, down any aisle on Home Depot,
and you just keep throwing different tools at the wall
and hope something sticks in the wall, and eventually something
will stick in the wall. Now ask for the faux
vote of conference. I say foe because they haven't even
play a game yet. Vote to conference. We know that
means nothing. We know that means nothing. What that really
(06:27):
means is we will reevaluate our situation and we'll see
where we are by week ten, and are we three
and seven by that particular point. If that's the case,
is Michael Pennox Junior, our new quarterback, going to ride
the vomit comet? Is he going to throw ducks into
triple coverage and all that? Then we can reevaluate where
(06:49):
we are. So we've seen this movie before, we know
how it always ends for the Falcons. Now, furthermore, speaking
of disappointment, we head now to the Beltway, Washington, DC.
We take the Amtrak to DC, the Amtrak train there
where veteran wide receiver Terry McLaurin has reported over the
(07:10):
weekend he reported to the commander's training camp. However, his holdout,
while technically it is over, he is now yes a
hold in. Oh so that's actually a savvy move because
you don't get fined fifty thousand dollars a day like
you did when you were a holdout. So instead he
(07:31):
will show up and not practice. No, no, no, not practice.
Now that does not mean an extension is looming on
the horizon. We have learned there is no progress that
has been made. The latest reports are that no progress
has been made, that McLaren is still twisting in the
wind in terms of his wish, his desire to get
(07:52):
a contract extension. So the question, Terry McLaurin and the
commanders have not made any any substantial progress on a contract.
Are you surprised by this one? So I am shaking
my head. No, I'm not surprised. This is just a negotiation,
(08:14):
that's all it is, right. It's it's a it's it's
it's not just that though, it's more. It's it's like
a stare down, is what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's like, well, it's a it's a negotiation, and say,
well that's no, there's more. There's more going on to
stair down. And we say this all the time, all
these these contract holdouts or hold ins. It's football for play,
is what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
If both sides are puffing their chest out and they're like,
oh no, no, no, we're on the right side. They're on
the wrong side. The other side is on the wrong side,
and it's a game of who's gonna blink first? Who
is going to blink? Uh? Like it's like some kind
of rom com situation there, and you know, we'll see
who can hold out longer. Is it in this case
(08:58):
the commanders or or is it the player? Terry McLaurin,
who catches passes sometimes in double and triple coverage. And
then you've got the football team in Washington, who's I
guess thinking their stadium, FedEx Field, still has some charm
or something like that. I don't know. It's a mess.
Spoiler alert. Neither side's blinking, not yet. So they're not blinking.
(09:22):
And here's why. And the reason they're not blinking is time.
It's always because of time. And if you look at
the date on your phone, I say, well, today's July
twenty eighth. Okay. So if it wasn't for deadlines, and
we learned this all that, we were reminded us. I
learned this a long time ago. We were reminded of it.
(09:45):
If it wasn't for deadlines, nothing would ever get done, period,
hard stop. Certainly in professional sports, nothing would get done.
They all pretend like they're they're playing chess and they've
got it all figured out and all that, and really
they're just looking on their phone waiting for the days
to tick down on the calendar and then they'll do
(10:06):
the heavy lifting at that particular point. The unofficial deadline
is the start of the regular season opening weekend of
the NFL. That is the deadline. It's really a hard
deadline in many respects. You don't get a deal done
at that point, someone's gonna hit the panic button. McLaren,
unlike Micah Parsons, which I am convinced, will come down
(10:28):
to that final weekend and then Jay Glazer will have
a story that they worked out a deal right before
the Cowboys kickoff the season. McLaren's a wildcard. He's a
wildcard because he's at the age where if you give
him the big money, diminishing asset and so is he
gonna stick around?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
The last thing here, we're gonna go completely away from
Washington and from the NFL, and we're gonna jump on
over to baseball. That's right, baseball. We have had a change,
a major sea change in the gambling for the Most
Valuable Player award in the American League. Did you see this? No?
(11:06):
All right, So major update over the weekend. Aaron Judge
is no longer the betting favorite to be the American
League MVP. The Yankee Star Snap Crackle Pop goes the elbow.
Aaron Judge injuring his elbow and he is no longer
favored to win the American League Most Valuable Player award.
(11:27):
That would be your new betting favorite Mariners catcher cal
Rally and his dog Spot. Cal Raley overtook el Capitan
of the Bronx Bombers and this going to DraftKings Sportsbook
betting odds for the MVP race as Aaron Judge prior
to injuring his elbow, he was at minus six point
(11:50):
fifty minus six fifty, which is a massive favorite. Well,
now Seattle's cal Raley, who had another home run in
a Seattle loss over the weekend on Sunday. But cal
Raley now is at minus one point fifteen. He is
the betting favorite to win your American League Most Valuable
Player honors? Are you buying or selling? Are you buying
(12:14):
or selling cal Raley today as the betting favorite over
Aaron Judge, So I am buying this now. I'd done
a monologue about this a couple weeks back, and I said,
it's Aaron Judge, He's gonna win it, and he's gonna
win it. Well, this changes everything night, It absolutely does.
And cal and Judge Raleigh and Judge neck and neck
(12:38):
advantage cal Raley because Aaron Judge is not gonna be playing. Now,
how long is Aaron Judge going to be out? That's
up open to debate. Judge knocked out for now? They
say it's likely going to be at least two weeks,
at least two weeks. And then when Aaron Judge comes
back to the Yankees lineup, he's going to have to
be a designated hitter. He's not going to play in
(13:01):
the field. He's gonna be a DH when he returns.
So the opportunity is right there. It's knocking on the door.
Cal Raley can go wreck it Raleigh, not reck it Ralph,
wreck it Raleigh and go turbotastic for the Seattle manters.
And this is about what you're doing right now, right
what you're doing today, today is where it's at. And
(13:22):
cal Raley is doing everything everything you want from an MVP.
He's hitting for power, he's catching most of the games.
He has hit some DH games as well, but he's
catching almost every day, and he's running the Mariner pitching
staff and all that, and he's leading catchers and home
(13:43):
runs by a country mile. So those are all good things.
And people have been hypnotized with Aaron Judge, and rightfully so,
I Judge has been wonderful for the Yankees, got the
New York East Coast advantage and all that. He's built
like a lumberjack, taller than all the other players in
pauled in the position game with the Yankees and all that.
(14:04):
But right now, with Aaron Judge out, this is the
opportunity for the next couple of weeks for cal Raley,
as we said, to go turbotastic and to zoom past
Aaron Judge in the MVP race. And he's out there
and you're living up to his nickname the big dumper
and dropping bombs. Will drop a bomb on every ballpark
in the American League and everywhere else. And this because
(14:27):
us in Seattle. It doesn't matter. Well, the Mariners, if
you look at your standings, the Mariners are a wild
card team. It's not like the Yankees are winning the
American League East right now, Toronto's winning the division of the
Yankees are a wildcard team also, But the Mariners are
right in the meat, right in the meat of the
wild card race in the American League. So now we
did have Aaron Judge ahead of cal Raley, but the
(14:49):
injury thing does shift the market, and we agree with
the updated gambling odds. Cal Raley your new betting favorite
to be the most Valuable Player. It is the ban

a great Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Hello everybody, how are we all doing well? Men? It
doesn't matter that Aaron Judge is not going to be
m v P or his MVP. Just cal Rawley sounds
like a very very nice young man who's worked very
hard and he's doing a great job. So he's m VP.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
That's okay, good, that's good. So you called up to
agree that cal Rally should be the MVP. All right, wonderful.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Nuts should be I mean Aaron Judge till it's time
to be MVP.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
He's heard right now, he's going to be out for
a little while, and you know it comes back, you're
a little rusty when you come back. It's by the
time he comes back, it's going to be August. It'll
be mid August likely by the time Judge returns to
the Yankee lineup. So it's this is some key games here.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It all doesn't matter. The way the way they're playing nowadays.
These guys are just smacking the ball all over the place.
I've never seen such such power and such intense city
the way these guys play and all doing a great job.
But it doesn't matter. It does not matter.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Are we getting well? None of it matters, Angry Bill,
If you break it down, none of it really matters
at all. If you really want to get down to
the core of the issue, it doesn't matter who cares
who wins the MVP.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Right exactly, That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But I have a talk show to do, and so
for me, I have to.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I have to care. Yeah, you know, you got to
pump up the old.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah. So what's going what's going on with you?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Are you feeling better? Your health get a little better there?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yes? No?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Maybe, so I'm working like heck on it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
But let me tell you it's not an easy thing.
It's not anything well one thing that I it's sort
of personal, but I'll bring it up anyway. I have
a lost over sixty two pounds.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Wow, good job, but you cut your leg off.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It's the middle life maybe, but it doesn't. It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
What is your no? I lost a lot of way too.
I did it with fasting or whatever. What is your secret?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Bill? What have you done? Dude? I just don't I
don't care. You know what am I having to eat?
And yeah, a lot of stuff.

Don't drink alcohol, drink water.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
No, no, no alcohol, no soda whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Look at you. I'm proud of you, angry Bill. Look
at We want you around so we can goof on you.
We don't want you to go anywhere. We want to
leave you around so we can poke fun at you.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well that's not right, but that's okay. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
The key.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The key is not having tons of food that you
don't need. You don't need it, you know, just like
you know, Ben, you didn't need all the crappy weight.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I liked it. At the time I was eating it.
But no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You don't need it, and then just try to try
to limit your intake. It's a simple math game, right,
angry Bill, it's math. The calories in, calories out. That's
usually how it works, right.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Oh, math, well map.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I like listening to you guys. Every once in a while,
I pop on the radio and yeah, you guys pound
it out, and uh, I'm just trying to get my
health going.
