Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, Our four of
the radio show. Davante Adams unhappy with the Raiders this offseason.
He made some comments. We'll parse the words of Davanta Adams.
We're the odds the Raiders end up trading Davonte Adams
this offseason. Does DeVante Adams have an issue with Jimmy
(00:20):
Garoppolo and did the Raiders do him dirty by not
listening to his advice? We'll talk about all that and more.
Have a great day here. It is our number four,
a rare gift in the month of May. The disgruntled
NFL star. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I speak
(00:43):
for all sports gas bags. Welcome and not beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mal Show.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We are in the air everywhere close by, as we know,
the harvest is fresh coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Border and beyond. On the vast and boldly powerful microphones
of fsr mmnating live from the Meyer the quagmire of
sporting chatter. We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot
com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
(01:23):

Way tire Buying showeat. So our lead this hour coming
from Lost Wages, Nevada, and we have hurt feelings in
(01:44):
the desert and NFL star is not happy enough you
know anything about the Raiders. There's only really one star
left on the Raiders at this point, one household name
on the Raiders, and he ain't happy. Silver and Bitter,
if you will say hello to Davante Adams. Davante Adams,
(02:05):
he is at loggerheads with our Raiders. It's not like
the team building philosophy of all of those ex pats
who are now in charge of the Raiders coaching staff
in front office. So how do we know this? Is
this speculation by Adam schefter Jay Glazer. Is this some
kind of source league source claiming Davante Adams is not
(02:29):
not really happy with There is no no, no now
the source, pretty reliable source. Davonte Adams is the source.
Davonte Adams said it. He said it. Davonte Adams said it.
He talked to something called the Ringer. I don't know
what that is, but the ringer, and he gave his
(02:51):
version of events. He also talked about his vision and
he talked about what he thinks it takes to contend
to win Super Bowls, and he said that is out
of alignment. That is not They're not locked in there.
They're not locked in. And there appears to be a
disagreement here, disagreement at how the Raiders have gone about
(03:14):
rebuilding the roster this offseason. The actual quote from Devonte
Adams verbatim, verbatim, talking about the front office, he said thinks,
he said, the Raiders front office thinks this is the
best bet for us right now to put us in
position to be urgent. Adams said, here's the part of
(03:35):
the quote, which is the money quote. We don't see
I to I on what we think is best for
us right now. Close quote. Now, Adams did reveal that
the raiderfront office did listen to his opinions on what
the Raiders should do with personnel. He did express some
(03:57):
gratitude that they listened. He was less than less than
a kind when it came to talking about what the
Raiders actually did this offseason. So let us discuss this,
talk about this together. The question, you have a player,
star player with one hundred and forty million dollar contract
complaining publicly complaining about the direction of the franchise that
(04:21):
normally leads to a transaction that normally leads to a trade.
So what are the odds that the Raiders end up
saying bye bye to Devonte Adams this offseason? You're probably saying, well,
it's not gonna happen. Now, the NFL Draft is over,
a lot of teams go on vacation. Training camp starts
in July, They go on vacation in June and come
(04:43):
back in mid July and all that. But I'm gonna
set the malarodds on Devonte Adams being traded outbound from
Nevada and the Raiders at plus three point fifty, which
implies a twenty five percent chance. So I've got ratcheting,
deductive reasoning, and LeVar ball, and we will combine all
(05:05):
of these things together, and we are going to make
a nice roulette wheel, and we'll spin the roulette wheel.
You're gonna bet on black, You're gonna go with red?
Are you a gambler going with the green? Which way
are you gonna go?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, round and round and round and round the roulett
wheel goes. So to kick off here, methinks, DeVante Adams
blood is boiling. Methinks he is not happy, and it's
very uncomplicated. And I know there's some radio apologies out
there that they want to bury this story, but I
wouldn't bury it. It is more likely than not that
(05:39):
things like behind the scenes have been bubbling up and
that we're just learning about it. I do believe in
the iceberg theory that when these things go public, that
they've been around and you just see the very top
of the iceberg. It's like that thing that took down
the Titanic, right was massive, but you didn't see the
whole thing. Most of it was under the water, like
(06:00):
most of the DeVante Adams story was likely under the water.
You just saw the top of the iceberg. And so
this has been going on in the shadows. And there
was a moment we talked about this in a previous
episode of the show. There was a momentary in the
regular season when Davonte Adams made some comments and indicated
that he was frustrated. And now that the volume the
(06:22):
knob has been turned up several decimal points. Decimal points,
and so DeVante Adams's got the big contract. He left
Green Bay to get the money. Didn't want to be
in Green Bay anymore. And so now he's gone public
about not seeing eye to eye. That is a lot
of things. That is honest. We thank him for his honesty.
Good job by you. That is also ratcheting up the rhetoric.
(06:46):
That is an act of aggression. And I say bravo
because I don't work for the Raiders and I don't care.
I'm an outsider, and as an outsider, I love it.
I love it. I love it, I love it, I
love it. This was an intentional act. And I'll tell
you why I'm not out here thinking Devonte Adams is
(07:06):
a dope. The only way this would be a mistake
is if DeVante Adams is a complete moron. Other than that,
it would not be That's the only plausible scenario other
than this was an intentional act. That Devonte Adams wants
to enter the transfer portal and he's looking for a
relocation situation. It doesn't talk that, it doesn't whisper that.
(07:27):
It screams that he's not happy. Trade may trade may. Now,
Adams only has a couple more dominant years left if
you go by the comps based on his age, the
wear and tear, He's got a couple more years left,
but that goes by pretty quick. So why spend the
time stuck in mediocrity with the writers and Josh McDaniels,
(07:50):
who couldn't coach his way out of a you know what? Now? Furthermore,
does Devonte Adams have an issue with Jimmy Garoppolo? Gotta
be it's gotta be a Garoppolo problem. I'm not in
my head. It's gotta be a Garoppolo problem. Now, it's
not all haitter. So Adams did send mixed messages when
(08:11):
it came to Garoppolo. And he's unwilling to burn all
of the boats in the harbor and go completely scorch
earth here. So he's not willing to go that far down.
But nevertheless, using deductive reasoning, the arrow is pointing at
Jimmy g What is the signature move of the Raiders offseason?
They got rid of car his college buddy, Devonte Adams
(08:34):
college buddy, and they brought in Jimmy Garoppolo, And that's
gotta be it. It's an Okham's Razors situation. The most
obvious answer is the right answer here, it's the simplest answer.
And riddle me this batman riddle me this batman. Had
the Raiders traded for Aaron Rodgers this offseason and he
(08:55):
goes to Vegas instead of the Jets. Would DeVante Adams complained,
would he say, we don't see eyed. I, By the way,
it's a rhetorical question. I think we know the answer
to that. I think he would have been fine. But
Garoppolo is a Middland quarterback. He's been very successful wins
and losses wise. He's injury prone. He's unable to evade defenders.
(09:18):
He does not have a bazooka for an arm. The
secret sauce for Jimmy Garoppolo is the mightist touch. We
talked about this a lot over the last couple of years,
but Garoppolo has the greatest record of any quarterback in
the last seventy plus years. In games, he does nothing.
In games, he has no touchdown passes. Garoppolo, when you
(09:40):
include the regular in the postseason, has an eight forty
six winning percentage. He's eleven and two when he does
not throw a touchdown eleven and two. No quarterback can
match that if you go back to nineteen fifty. But
is that really a sustainable formula? I say no, right,
luck be, not luck be a lady. Luck be Jimmy
(10:02):
g Now the last thing here, did the Raiders do
Devonte Adams dirty by not listening to him? They did
meet with him, but they clearly didn't listen. So I
say no. In fact, what the Raiders did, all those expatriots,
what they did, Josh McDaniels and the GM and on.
What they did is follow the Malor think tank advice.
(10:26):
When I talked about Adams, we talked about the several
months back. I guess it was at the end of
the football season. Devonte Adams made some comments and my
advice at the time was, Okay, you bring DeVante Adams in.
You sit him down, you say say every player you
want to me, every move you want to make, and
then you say, okay, thank you, you say good job,
Well we'll get back to you, and you completely forget
(10:48):
everything he said, pretend it didn't happen. And that's what
the Raiders have done. That appears to be what the
Raiders have done. As lvar Ball would say, the great
LeVar Ball, stay in Arla. You've got the point of demarcation.
You have the employee and the employer relationship and the
Raiders front office. They did the right thing right. I
mean that the NFL is not a sport that allows
(11:10):
the star players to make moves. The Denver Broncos allowed
Russell Wilson to make some moves last year. How did
that happen? How did that work out? Not so good?
Not so good. So we'll see how this all works out.
But they got all these Patriot rejects here. And as
a result, Devonte Adams is mad enough to chew on
nails at this point. And I think the French term
(11:31):
is se la vi as in that's life, and he
would like his life to go somewhere else. And so
which teams are logical landing spots for Devonte Adams? So
the obvious one which everyone is spinning out jay E
t Yes, Jets, Jets, Jets, that's obvious. So is there
a scenario where Devonte Adams ends up on the Jets.
(11:56):
There is a scenario, but it's complicated because the Raiders
what would they want back for Adams? What is Devonte
Adams worth? He was worth a first round pick and
I think a second round pick. I believe that's what
the Raiders traded to Green Bay. He's already played another
year with the Raiders. So if you're the Jets, would
(12:18):
you trade trying to think like, who's there, Like Garrett
Wilson was their first round pick last year. If you're
the Jets, and if obviously it takes two to tango,
But if you're the Jets, would you trade Garrett Wilson
and a future second round pick to the Raiders to
get Davontae Adams? And if you're the Raiders, would you
take that? Garrett Wilson isn't making any money compared to
(12:41):
Devontae Adams. It's interesting to think about now some other
teams that make sense but will never happen. Kansas City.
There's no way the Raiders will do business with Kansas City.
The Cowboys are always in the mix because Jerry Jones
loves stars. He's a star effort, he loves stars. The
forty nine ers would also make sense, but they wouldn't.
(13:03):
I would think the Niners are not gonna trade Deebo Samuel,
so you'd have to take If you're the Raiders, you'd
have to take Brandon Auk and a other draft pick
and some other things in return. So anyway, stay tuned,
and even if you think this is a non story.
I promise you that this will get traction in the
clickbait world and we will see DeVante Adams name pop
(13:26):
up in all kinds of trade speculation. It is the
Bane Maeler Show, if you'd like to join us eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I knew I should have got that Davante Adam jersey.
Speaker 1 (13:38):

I want to say, did you get it, Berberta?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You got that? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Man, that's very nice looking. One too looking.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You might want to put that up for sale before
he gets traded, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Now, I'll keep it. I'll just blame Josh McDaniel's screw that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
That's a pricey item.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
How much do that? Yeah, that's a good idea, sell it?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
How much?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Did you gets a good seller it? That's oh, it's authentic.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So you pick like two point fifty for it? Yeah? Oh? Man, man,
how many Raider jerseys do you have? Hold on wait wait,
hold hold wait wait wait, let's go around the room here.
I say you have five, five Raider jerseys? Eddie, you
(14:26):
want in on this, right, Eddie? I know you're busy
in there.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I'm gonna say he's got eight eight.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, that was I swear that was the number I
was gonna pick. Yes, well, you've got Bo Jackson, Tim Brown.
I think I've seen you and those. I'm trying to
remember though. Usually when you wear your Raider jerseys, I
just kind of like whatever, he's got a Raider jersey on.
I like the Bo Jackson one. That's my favorite when
you wear that. Do you have the hiccups when you know?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Reveal answers, reveal answers? What's the answer?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Let ten?

Yeah, so you have twenty. You have twenty five hundred
roughly dollars worth of NFL jerseys.

Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Later this hour, we'll have passworthy word Game of the Stars.
We have malfunction junction. We'll get to that coming up.
We talked about this DeVante Adams story, his name bouncing
around his own doing. As he said, he's not saying,
ey'ight die with the Raiders when you're making one hundred
and forty million, which I know it's not all geared,
but when you get one of those big guaranteed contracts
(17:02):
that is generally not that does not go over well.
But we'll see what happens here in the coming days
and weeks. Barstool Booty, right, Sin says, you can tell
it's the off season when you're you're a man. He says,
you're doing monologues about the Raiders. Yeah, well, yes, well
we do do a monologue about the Raiders every year.
Right are out the point the season falls apart, we
(17:25):
do a Rader monologue. Let's go to spin Cycle Regina.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
I was like, I'm so sorry. He's a demanding for
and he hasn't done radio before, so he's like. I
was like, I don't know how Ben's going to handle him.
And then he breaks up with the sea word, and
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Like, well, this was the other sea word. When I
think of the sea word, I think of a much
more powerful sea word than the one that he used,
which we're not allowed to say the one that he used.
It's very odd, but you can hear on the podcast.
It'll be on the podcast when he says, yeah, I've
heard the.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Sea word from you guys in the male format.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Yes, so much, in all different formats.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
And I'm just like, and then you're talking about misogynistic
sad sacks and stuff, and I'm like, what's going on
with the program tonight?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
There must be a cosmic event that we're going to
find out about when Andrea calls in later in the week.
There's got to be something going on. She's likely in
the bathtub right now, but she'll call up at some
point let us know what's going on. But anyway, anything
else here or you're just doing a check in. This
is Saturday Night the big Night.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Yep, yep, yep. Just wanted to check in with you
and let you know that, hey, we got to get
the I really I am getting more responses for r
SVPs and so I know I've got a good basis

Speaker 1 (19:26):
All right, Well, listen, I look forward to it. Whoever's
there be great. And keep in mind, though, Regina, I
know from the years past, a lot of people say
they're gonna go and don't show up, and a lot
of people who who don't say they're gonna go show up.
So you never you never know when you know, people
have things that pop up. But we look forward to
our So thank you spent sac of Regina. If you
want to email her.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
There is one thing, oh boy, yep, one more thing.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
So if you do go to the but Grant Memorial
on Sunday. Yeah, there's also an Ascro party that's planned
at the Corner bar right down the street in Washington Avenue.
Washington Avenue.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Right now, there is a I don't know if I
should go to that. I'm debating whether or not to
go to it. So Bud Grant a legendary figure. He
played for the Minneapolis Lakers and also was a well
known coach with the Vikings coaching the CFL. He's in
the CFL Hall of Fame. So Bud Grant passed away.
(20:25):
He lived a long life. They're having a memorial for
him when I'm in Minnesota. So I could go, but
that would eat a lot of time up and I
kind of want to see stuff around Minnesota, but I
do want to see the Vikings stadiums debating whether or
not I need to to do that. I have not
yet procured free tickets to that event, but I'm thinking
about going. Don't know that the people I'm going to
(20:48):
be with want to go to that. That's the problem.
Let's go to David in he's in southern California. Hello, David,
what's going on? David? David's the security guard. What's up, David?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I blew it last week. I got a flat tire
and I didn't think about tire reck dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So I clearly they need to buy more commercials. If
you didn't think about it, that's a bad job by you.
Shame on you. I have said tire rack dot Com
so much. When I close my eyes I see their
logo and the fact that you do and you listen
to the show all the time. The fact that you
did not call tire rack dot Com that's a bad
job by you. And here's the thing, David, this is
(21:30):
one of the reasons we do the spots and they're
a partner with Fox Sports Radio, is you've got to
be proactive David. That you should know kind of when
your tires are getting a little wear and tear and
so there you don't get a flat tire because when
they start wearing down, you then call them up getting
their tires.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I know these prices. If I have to keep working
all the way, I'm going to end up in the
street with Halloween James.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But we don't want that. Yeah, everything's expensive. Tires are expended,
everything's expensive.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I wanted to talk to you about Doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, not a real doctor, by the way.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
I know I know that, and I know you, but
you know it's amazing.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Every time he did it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He well, not every time. As I said the other night,
the single greatest championship. In hindsight in NBA history is
the eight Celtics with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
Kevin Garnett and those guys that they were able to
overcome Doc Rivers as amazing, amazing, amazing. But yeah, he's
(22:40):
he's one of the all time great choke artists. Is
it's seven straight times his team has had been one
win away from closing out a series. They've lost seven
straight series where they've you know, they had a three
to one type lead or three two lead and they've
they've blown it. So anyway, all right, very good, anything else, Dave,
(23:00):
you just want to mention that?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Just h yeah, I can't understand why you didn't want
to keep Doc fit with a clip.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I would like to have Doc Rivers as like a roastmaster,
as an MC of an event, but I do not
want to. I don't want him coaching my team. Right,
thank you? All right, go away.

is kind of cool. And I love this malfunction junction story,
absolutely love, absolutely love this story. So we go back
(24:38):
to the Mets game and City Field. Did you see
what happened as the Mets were playing the Rays in
the sixth hitting. They were down six to one on
a random Tuesday night in Flushing. And what happened, Well,
the big expensive video board at City Field mouth functioned. Yeah,
(25:02):
they had a problem there. There was a short stoppage
in play and the scoreboard was turned back on and
the scoreboard, the entire massive scoreboard at City Field, was
covered with the logo of the Tampa Bay Rays, as
like a tribute to the Tampa Bay Rays. And it
(25:24):
was hilarious. And of course this is the same night
the Mets fans booed Justin Verlander off the field in
his debut as a Met in a Met uniform. Was
not his first start as I Met, but his first
home start as a Met. But this brought back one
of my favorite stories from years ago. And you know,
(25:44):
I talked about it some time to time. But one
of the early jobs I had in my career, I
was very lucky. I got to travel with the Dodgers
very briefly. I was a kid and I got to
do the postgame show for the Dodgers. It was a
lot of fun. We were in New York playing the Mets.
It was a getaway. This many many years ago, and
I still laugh about this story when I think about it.
So I'm standing there bsing. I'm schmoozing with some of
(26:06):
my buddies who are sports writers. On the field, it's
a day game. It was a Sunday, I believe it
was a Sunday getaway day afternoon game at the old
Shay Stadium, and the Mets are taking batting practice. Hey,
I'm like, whatever, who cares, I'm talking to my friend
and the Mets players are swinging and missing at pitches
(26:26):
in batting practice, and it was It was hilarious. And
there was this guy who, if you're old enough, you'll
know who this is. He was not a star player,
but he was somebody you're around a certain age. This
guy named Butch Husky. He was a big, burly guy,
was supposed to get a lot of home runs. Didn't
live up to the hype. So Butch Husky's playing for
the Mets at the time. He walks out of the
batting cage after swinging and missing it back to back pitches,
(26:49):
and there's this guy, Jay Horowitz, who is the pr
guy for the Mets, and Butch Husky starts screaming at
Jay Horowitz and I'm like five feet away, right, He's like,
come on, Jay, call somebody up in the press box.
And what had happened? They had This is the old
scoreboard at Chase Stadium, and so what happened It was
the hitters background. But in between innings it would change
(27:11):
and there'd be an advertisement. But it was old technology
where there were these panels that would flip and the
thing got stuck on it. It was a McDonald's advertisement, but
it was all white and the players couldn't see the ball.
It was crazy. It was so I was like, oh,
it was so funny. I still to this day I
laugh when I think about these Major League basebookers in
(27:34):
their own stadium swinging and missing during batty practice. The
hitters backdrop got it was broken at Chase Stadium and
it was stuck in the McDonald's lug. It was oh god.
It was for an egg McMuffin breakfast. I remember the item.
It was an egg McMuffin commercial, which I don't know
why you would need to advertise the egg McMuffin because
I feel like everyone already knows about the egg McMuffin.
(27:56):
But they had it. They had it there all right,

Eddie still
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, Our four of
the radio show. Davante Adams unhappy with the Raiders this offseason.
He made some comments. We'll parse the words of Davanta Adams.
We're the odds the Raiders end up trading Davonte Adams
this offseason. Does DeVante Adams have an issue with Jimmy
(00:20):
Garoppolo and did the Raiders do him dirty by not
listening to his advice? We'll talk about all that and more.
Have a great day here. It is our number four,
a rare gift in the month of May. The disgruntled
NFL star. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I speak
(00:43):
for all sports gas bags. Welcome and not beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mal Show.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We are in the air everywhere close by, as we know,
the harvest is fresh coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Border and beyond. On the vast and boldly powerful microphones
of fsr mmnating live from the Meyer the quagmire of
sporting chatter. We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot
com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
(01:23):
in unmatched selection, fast reshipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers ty iraq dot Com, the
Way tire Buying showeat. So our lead this hour coming
from Lost Wages, Nevada, and we have hurt feelings in
(01:44):
the desert and NFL star is not happy enough you
know anything about the Raiders. There's only really one star
left on the Raiders at this point, one household name
on the Raiders, and he ain't happy. Silver and Bitter,
if you will say hello to Davante Adams. Davante Adams,
(02:05):
he is at loggerheads with our Raiders. It's not like
the team building philosophy of all of those ex pats
who are now in charge of the Raiders coaching staff
in front office. So how do we know this? Is
this speculation by Adam schefter Jay Glazer. Is this some
kind of source league source claiming Davante Adams is not
(02:29):
not really happy with There is no no, no now
the source, pretty reliable source. Davonte Adams is the source.
Davonte Adams said it. He said it. Davonte Adams said it.
He talked to something called the Ringer. I don't know
what that is, but the ringer, and he gave his
(02:51):
version of events. He also talked about his vision and
he talked about what he thinks it takes to contend
to win Super Bowls, and he said that is out
of alignment. That is not They're not locked in there.
They're not locked in. And there appears to be a
disagreement here, disagreement at how the Raiders have gone about
(03:14):
rebuilding the roster this offseason. The actual quote from Devonte
Adams verbatim, verbatim, talking about the front office, he said thinks,
he said, the Raiders front office thinks this is the
best bet for us right now to put us in
position to be urgent. Adams said, here's the part of
(03:35):
the quote, which is the money quote. We don't see
I to I on what we think is best for
us right now. Close quote. Now, Adams did reveal that
the raiderfront office did listen to his opinions on what
the Raiders should do with personnel. He did express some
(03:57):
gratitude that they listened. He was less than less than
a kind when it came to talking about what the
Raiders actually did this offseason. So let us discuss this,
talk about this together. The question, you have a player,
star player with one hundred and forty million dollar contract
complaining publicly complaining about the direction of the franchise that
(04:21):
normally leads to a transaction that normally leads to a trade.
So what are the odds that the Raiders end up
saying bye bye to Devonte Adams this offseason? You're probably saying, well,
it's not gonna happen. Now, the NFL Draft is over,
a lot of teams go on vacation. Training camp starts
in July, They go on vacation in June and come
(04:43):
back in mid July and all that. But I'm gonna
set the malarodds on Devonte Adams being traded outbound from
Nevada and the Raiders at plus three point fifty, which
implies a twenty five percent chance. So I've got ratcheting,
deductive reasoning, and LeVar ball, and we will combine all
(05:05):
of these things together, and we are going to make
a nice roulette wheel, and we'll spin the roulette wheel.
You're gonna bet on black, You're gonna go with red?
Are you a gambler going with the green? Which way
are you gonna go?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, round and round and round and round the roulett
wheel goes. So to kick off here, methinks, DeVante Adams
blood is boiling. Methinks he is not happy, and it's
very uncomplicated. And I know there's some radio apologies out
there that they want to bury this story, but I
wouldn't bury it. It is more likely than not that
(05:39):
things like behind the scenes have been bubbling up and
that we're just learning about it. I do believe in
the iceberg theory that when these things go public, that
they've been around and you just see the very top
of the iceberg. It's like that thing that took down
the Titanic, right was massive, but you didn't see the
whole thing. Most of it was under the water, like
(06:00):
most of the DeVante Adams story was likely under the water.
You just saw the top of the iceberg. And so
this has been going on in the shadows. And there
was a moment we talked about this in a previous
episode of the show. There was a momentary in the
regular season when Davonte Adams made some comments and indicated
that he was frustrated. And now that the volume the
(06:22):
knob has been turned up several decimal points. Decimal points,
and so DeVante Adams's got the big contract. He left
Green Bay to get the money. Didn't want to be
in Green Bay anymore. And so now he's gone public
about not seeing eye to eye. That is a lot
of things. That is honest. We thank him for his honesty.
Good job by you. That is also ratcheting up the rhetoric.
(06:46):
That is an act of aggression. And I say bravo
because I don't work for the Raiders and I don't care.
I'm an outsider, and as an outsider, I love it.
I love it. I love it, I love it, I
love it. This was an intentional act. And I'll tell
you why I'm not out here thinking Devonte Adams is
(07:06):
a dope. The only way this would be a mistake
is if DeVante Adams is a complete moron. Other than that,
it would not be That's the only plausible scenario other
than this was an intentional act. That Devonte Adams wants
to enter the transfer portal and he's looking for a
relocation situation. It doesn't talk that, it doesn't whisper that.
(07:27):
It screams that he's not happy. Trade may trade may. Now,
Adams only has a couple more dominant years left if
you go by the comps based on his age, the
wear and tear, He's got a couple more years left,
but that goes by pretty quick. So why spend the
time stuck in mediocrity with the writers and Josh McDaniels,
(07:50):
who couldn't coach his way out of a you know what? Now? Furthermore,
does Devonte Adams have an issue with Jimmy Garoppolo? Gotta
be it's gotta be a Garoppolo problem. I'm not in
my head. It's gotta be a Garoppolo problem. Now, it's
not all haitter. So Adams did send mixed messages when
(08:11):
it came to Garoppolo. And he's unwilling to burn all
of the boats in the harbor and go completely scorch
earth here. So he's not willing to go that far down.
But nevertheless, using deductive reasoning, the arrow is pointing at
Jimmy g What is the signature move of the Raiders offseason?
They got rid of car his college buddy, Devonte Adams
(08:34):
college buddy, and they brought in Jimmy Garoppolo, And that's
gotta be it. It's an Okham's Razors situation. The most
obvious answer is the right answer here, it's the simplest answer.
And riddle me this batman riddle me this batman. Had
the Raiders traded for Aaron Rodgers this offseason and he
(08:55):
goes to Vegas instead of the Jets. Would DeVante Adams complained,
would he say, we don't see eyed. I, By the way,
it's a rhetorical question. I think we know the answer
to that. I think he would have been fine. But
Garoppolo is a Middland quarterback. He's been very successful wins
and losses wise. He's injury prone. He's unable to evade defenders.
(09:18):
He does not have a bazooka for an arm. The
secret sauce for Jimmy Garoppolo is the mightist touch. We
talked about this a lot over the last couple of years,
but Garoppolo has the greatest record of any quarterback in
the last seventy plus years. In games, he does nothing.
In games, he has no touchdown passes. Garoppolo, when you
(09:40):
include the regular in the postseason, has an eight forty
six winning percentage. He's eleven and two when he does
not throw a touchdown eleven and two. No quarterback can
match that if you go back to nineteen fifty. But
is that really a sustainable formula? I say no, right,
luck be, not luck be a lady. Luck be Jimmy
(10:02):
g Now the last thing here, did the Raiders do
Devonte Adams dirty by not listening to him? They did
meet with him, but they clearly didn't listen. So I
say no. In fact, what the Raiders did, all those expatriots,
what they did, Josh McDaniels and the GM and on.
What they did is follow the Malor think tank advice.
(10:26):
When I talked about Adams, we talked about the several
months back. I guess it was at the end of
the football season. Devonte Adams made some comments and my
advice at the time was, Okay, you bring DeVante Adams in.
You sit him down, you say say every player you
want to me, every move you want to make, and
then you say, okay, thank you, you say good job,
Well we'll get back to you, and you completely forget
(10:48):
everything he said, pretend it didn't happen. And that's what
the Raiders have done. That appears to be what the
Raiders have done. As lvar Ball would say, the great
LeVar Ball, stay in Arla. You've got the point of demarcation.
You have the employee and the employer relationship and the
Raiders front office. They did the right thing right. I
mean that the NFL is not a sport that allows
(11:10):
the star players to make moves. The Denver Broncos allowed
Russell Wilson to make some moves last year. How did
that happen? How did that work out? Not so good?
Not so good. So we'll see how this all works out.
But they got all these Patriot rejects here. And as
a result, Devonte Adams is mad enough to chew on
nails at this point. And I think the French term
(11:31):
is se la vi as in that's life, and he
would like his life to go somewhere else. And so
which teams are logical landing spots for Devonte Adams? So
the obvious one which everyone is spinning out jay E
t Yes, Jets, Jets, Jets, that's obvious. So is there
a scenario where Devonte Adams ends up on the Jets.
(11:56):
There is a scenario, but it's complicated because the Raiders
what would they want back for Adams? What is Devonte
Adams worth? He was worth a first round pick and
I think a second round pick. I believe that's what
the Raiders traded to Green Bay. He's already played another
year with the Raiders. So if you're the Jets, would
(12:18):
you trade trying to think like, who's there, Like Garrett
Wilson was their first round pick last year. If you're
the Jets, and if obviously it takes two to tango,
But if you're the Jets, would you trade Garrett Wilson
and a future second round pick to the Raiders to
get Davontae Adams? And if you're the Raiders, would you
take that? Garrett Wilson isn't making any money compared to
(12:41):
Devontae Adams. It's interesting to think about now some other
teams that make sense but will never happen. Kansas City.
There's no way the Raiders will do business with Kansas City.
The Cowboys are always in the mix because Jerry Jones
loves stars. He's a star effort, he loves stars. The
forty nine ers would also make sense, but they wouldn't.
(13:03):
I would think the Niners are not gonna trade Deebo Samuel,
so you'd have to take If you're the Raiders, you'd
have to take Brandon Auk and a other draft pick
and some other things in return. So anyway, stay tuned,
and even if you think this is a non story.
I promise you that this will get traction in the
clickbait world and we will see DeVante Adams name pop
(13:26):
up in all kinds of trade speculation. It is the
Bane Maeler Show, if you'd like to join us eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I knew I should have got that Davante Adam jersey.
Speaker 1 (13:38):

Speaker 1 (13:41):
You got that? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Man, that's very nice looking. One too looking.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You might want to put that up for sale before
he gets traded, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Now, I'll keep it. I'll just blame Josh McDaniel's screw that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
That's a pricey item.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
How much do that? Yeah, that's a good idea, sell it?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
How much?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Did you gets a good seller it? That's oh, it's authentic.
Speaker 1 (13:59):

remember though. Usually when you wear your Raider jerseys, I

you wear that. Do you have the hiccups when you know?

Here the special ingredient needed to influence others to join
our mysterious nocturnal platoon known as The Ben Malor Show
and now live from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Later this hour, we'll have passworthy word Game of the Stars.
We have malfunction junction. We'll get to that coming up.
We talked about this DeVante Adams story, his name bouncing
around his own doing. As he said, he's not saying,
ey'ight die with the Raiders when you're making one hundred
and forty million, which I know it's not all geared,
but when you get one of those big guaranteed contracts
(17:02):
that is generally not that does not go over well.
But we'll see what happens here in the coming days
and weeks. Barstool Booty, right, Sin says, you can tell
it's the off season when you're you're a man. He says,
you're doing monologues about the Raiders. Yeah, well, yes, well
we do do a monologue about the Raiders every year.
Right are out the point the season falls apart, we
(17:25):
do a Rader monologue. Let's go to spin Cycle Regina.
She's in the Twin Cities. She's the hostess with the
mostest Hello spin Cycle Regina, Hello.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
And everybody, how are you? I hope everyone is fine
and safe and well.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Well, I'm excited because we talked to kJ earlier and
kJ says there's going to be live music at the
Malord meeting free. This is exciting, but I've warn't Coopy Coop.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
I was like, I'm so sorry. He's a demanding for
and he hasn't done radio before, so he's like. I
was like, I don't know how Ben's going to handle him.
And then he breaks up with the sea word, and
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Like, well, this was the other sea word. When I
think of the sea word, I think of a much
more powerful sea word than the one that he used,
which we're not allowed to say the one that he used.
It's very odd, but you can hear on the podcast.
It'll be on the podcast when he says, yeah, I've
heard the.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Sea word from you guys in the male format.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Yes, so much, in all different formats.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
And I'm just like, and then you're talking about misogynistic
sad sacks and stuff, and I'm like, what's going on
with the program tonight?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
There must be a cosmic event that we're going to
find out about when Andrea calls in later in the week.
There's got to be something going on. She's likely in
the bathtub right now, but she'll call up at some
point let us know what's going on. But anyway, anything
else here or you're just doing a check in. This
is Saturday Night the big Night.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Yep, yep, yep. Just wanted to check in with you
and let you know that, hey, we got to get
the I really I am getting more responses for r
SVPs and so I know I've got a good basis
for us. Good We're gonna have people show up. We're
gonna have my b tow bo is showing me some support,
(19:23):
and hopefully we're gonna have a sea of purple for you.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
All right, Well, listen, I look forward to it. Whoever's
there be great. And keep in mind, though, Regina, I
know from the years past, a lot of people say
they're gonna go and don't show up, and a lot
of people who who don't say they're gonna go show up.
So you never you never know when you know, people
have things that pop up. But we look forward to
our So thank you spent sac of Regina. If you
want to email her.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
There is one thing, oh boy, yep, one more thing.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
So if you do go to the but Grant Memorial
on Sunday. Yeah, there's also an Ascro party that's planned
at the Corner bar right down the street in Washington Avenue.
Washington Avenue.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Right now, there is a I don't know if I
should go to that. I'm debating whether or not to
go to it. So Bud Grant a legendary figure. He
played for the Minneapolis Lakers and also was a well
known coach with the Vikings coaching the CFL. He's in
the CFL Hall of Fame. So Bud Grant passed away.
(20:25):
He lived a long life. They're having a memorial for
him when I'm in Minnesota. So I could go, but
that would eat a lot of time up and I
kind of want to see stuff around Minnesota, but I
do want to see the Vikings stadiums debating whether or
not I need to to do that. I have not
yet procured free tickets to that event, but I'm thinking
about going. Don't know that the people I'm going to
(20:48):
be with want to go to that. That's the problem.
Let's go to David in he's in southern California. Hello, David,
what's going on? David? David's the security guard. What's up, David?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I blew it last week. I got a flat tire
and I didn't think about tire reck dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So I clearly they need to buy more commercials. If
you didn't think about it, that's a bad job by you.
Shame on you. I have said tire rack dot Com
so much. When I close my eyes I see their
logo and the fact that you do and you listen
to the show all the time. The fact that you
did not call tire rack dot Com that's a bad
job by you. And here's the thing, David, this is
(21:30):
one of the reasons we do the spots and they're
a partner with Fox Sports Radio, is you've got to
be proactive David. That you should know kind of when
your tires are getting a little wear and tear and
so there you don't get a flat tire because when
they start wearing down, you then call them up getting
their tires.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I know these prices. If I have to keep working
all the way, I'm going to end up in the
street with Halloween James.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But we don't want that. Yeah, everything's expensive. Tires are expended,
everything's expensive.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I wanted to talk to you about Doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, not a real doctor, by the way.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
I know I know that, and I know you, but
you know it's amazing.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Every time he did it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He well, not every time. As I said the other night,
the single greatest championship. In hindsight in NBA history is
the eight Celtics with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
Kevin Garnett and those guys that they were able to
overcome Doc Rivers as amazing, amazing, amazing. But yeah, he's
(22:40):
he's one of the all time great choke artists. Is
it's seven straight times his team has had been one
win away from closing out a series. They've lost seven
straight series where they've you know, they had a three
to one type lead or three two lead and they've
they've blown it. So anyway, all right, very good, anything else, Dave,
(23:00):
you just want to mention that?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Just h yeah, I can't understand why you didn't want
to keep Doc fit with a clip.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I would like to have Doc Rivers as like a roastmaster,
as an MC of an event, but I do not
want to. I don't want him coaching my team. Right,
thank you? All right, go away.
Speaker 3 (23:19):

a week we have different audio content for you on
the Ben Malor Show on the Fifth Hour podcast, which
is kind of cool. And I love this malfunction junction story,
absolutely love, absolutely love this story. So we go back
(24:38):
to the Mets game and City Field. Did you see
what happened as the Mets were playing the Rays in
the sixth hitting. They were down six to one on
a random Tuesday night in Flushing. And what happened, Well,
the big expensive video board at City Field mouth functioned. Yeah,
(25:02):
they had a problem there. There was a short stoppage
in play and the scoreboard was turned back on and
the scoreboard, the entire massive scoreboard at City Field, was
covered with the logo of the Tampa Bay Rays, as
like a tribute to the Tampa Bay Rays. And it
(25:24):
was hilarious. And of course this is the same night
the Mets fans booed Justin Verlander off the field in
his debut as a Met in a Met uniform. Was
not his first start as I Met, but his first
home start as a Met. But this brought back one
of my favorite stories from years ago. And you know,
(25:44):
I talked about it some time to time. But one
of the early jobs I had in my career, I
was very lucky. I got to travel with the Dodgers
very briefly. I was a kid and I got to
do the postgame show for the Dodgers. It was a
lot of fun. We were in New York playing the Mets.
It was a getaway. This many many years ago, and
I still laugh about this story when I think about it.
So I'm standing there bsing. I'm schmoozing with some of
(26:06):
my buddies who are sports writers. On the field, it's
a day game. It was a Sunday, I believe it
was a Sunday getaway day afternoon game at the old
Shay Stadium, and the Mets are taking batting practice. Hey,
I'm like, whatever, who cares, I'm talking to my friend
and the Mets players are swinging and missing at pitches
(26:26):
in batting practice, and it was It was hilarious. And
there was this guy who, if you're old enough, you'll
know who this is. He was not a star player,
but he was somebody you're around a certain age. This
guy named Butch Husky. He was a big, burly guy,
was supposed to get a lot of home runs. Didn't
live up to the hype. So Butch Husky's playing for
the Mets at the time. He walks out of the
batting cage after swinging and missing it back to back pitches,
(26:49):
and there's this guy, Jay Horowitz, who is the pr
guy for the Mets, and Butch Husky starts screaming at
Jay Horowitz and I'm like five feet away, right, He's like,
come on, Jay, call somebody up in the press box.
And what had happened? They had This is the old
scoreboard at Chase Stadium, and so what happened It was
the hitters background. But in between innings it would change
(27:11):
and there'd be an advertisement. But it was old technology
where there were these panels that would flip and the
thing got stuck on it. It was a McDonald's advertisement, but
it was all white and the players couldn't see the ball.
It was crazy. It was so I was like, oh,
it was so funny. I still to this day I
laugh when I think about these Major League basebookers in
(27:34):
their own stadium swinging and missing during batty practice. The
hitters backdrop got it was broken at Chase Stadium and
it was stuck in the McDonald's lug. It was oh god.
It was for an egg McMuffin breakfast. I remember the item.
It was an egg McMuffin commercial, which I don't know
why you would need to advertise the egg McMuffin because
I feel like everyone already knows about the egg McMuffin.
(27:56):
But they had it. They had it there all right,
this cowboy up on the Ben Mave Show. We'll say,
hell lot of cowboy John brad a Canadian legend. Hello,
cowboy John brad.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Husky was the last Major leaguer allowed to wear number
forty two.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh look at that you've got. You got a fun
fact on butch Husky. That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
And this is also the sixty ninth anniversary of the
Epica Supreme Court the decision Brown versus Topeka, Kansas Board
of Education, which purportedly ended the Separate but Equal doctrin
in the United States, which is I know that is
very which began sixty nine years west one day fifty
(28:38):
eight years west one day before that. More about that tomorrow,
