indicating that Also where you ad on d On Sanders
grumbling over the Jaguars not not chatting him up about
coaching Travis Hunter, And how do you read Eli Manning's

(01:09):
claims that he was behind forcing the Chargers Draft Day
trade out of San Diego and not his pops Archie Manning. Yeah,
that story is from twenty two years ago and it
randomly popped up recently. We'll talk about all that and
more right now, settle and have a great start to
your week on this Monday. It's our number four. It

(01:34):
is but elementary, my dear Watson, unless it's not welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
we are in the air ev rewhere close by. You
can hear me, I can. I can't really hear you,
but you can. You can hear me, Yes, as we

(01:57):
have pure sugary takes that provide pure happiness unless we
don't coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on
the vast and ferociously powerful microphones of fs are am
monating live from the school, just a single fish in

(02:19):
this giant school of fish. Garon teed Human from the
world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, where Zach in Rhode
Island reminds us. This hour made possible in part by
our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, ti
Iraq has been helping customers like whoopee pie Blair find

(02:39):
the right tires for how, what and where they drive
ship fast and freeback by, free road hazard protection with
chaj and rent and likes a lot with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, tire raq dot com. The
way tire buying should be in rickin Maryland, Morning Time says,
how about Express, Well, if you're a skilled person in marketing,

(03:03):
let's skip the online job search nightmare. Express employment professionals
connect skilled machinist welders and technicians. So if you're in
that manufacturing world, machinist, welder, technician with contract and full
time manufacturing jobs, that's Express pros. Check them out Express

(03:24):
Employment Professionals. So our lead this hour not from pro
bouncy ball. We're down to the final four. More on
that later this hour. We'll take a peek at the
opening numbers. We begin in Cleveland where the Cavaliers have advanced.
They're in the final four of the NBA. But this
is about football. That's what keeps lights on. And there's

(03:46):
a lot of lights one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
There are eleven lights. That's a lot. I just goted
them that's a lot of lights. It's too many lights.
Why are there so many lights? But we begin here
with the football team that keeps the lights on. The NFL,
not this team, but the NFL in general keeps a

(04:08):
lone on. So we're hearing that the quarterback known as
Deshaun Watson has apparently had a great bromance with new
head coach Todd Munkin, the Monkman, Todd Munkin, who famously
missed the NFL Coaches photo so we could get a
haircut for the photo. And this ahead of the Browns
organized team activity. If you saw this or not, perhaps

(04:30):
not glowing reports out of Ohio. I know that Ohio
al and Dick and Dayton are excited about this, but
glowing reports about Todd Munkin's offensive concepts being the perfect
offense for Deshaun Watson. He's running in the past, his
played his best. He's played at his best, which means
of force as good as all the rest. With that

(04:52):
be drum beat steadily growing louder, a little bit, a
little bit here, a little bit there, the drum be
going up. That Watson is gaining steam, not momentum, gaining
steam in recent weeks. I always get a kick out
of these type of stories. I'll tell you why in
a minute. But the story is, oh yeah, this is
he's gaining some steam here and he is the preferred

(05:14):
option to be the quarterback of the Browns. That's right,
the Cleveland Browns when the season begins. So that is
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
where is the trust factor? Where's the trust factor on
Deshaun Watson and these glowing reports that he is in
the lead to be the QB number one for the Browns?

(05:38):
All right, so that is the question. I've got pond Stars,
Best Buy, and Southern Drawl and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna give you a
big HOGI filled with the Gabba ghoul and a side
of Baba ganoosh. That's right, horight, not a kick off

(05:59):
here to answer question, where's the trust factor? Deshaun Watson?
Glowing reports saying that he's in the lead to be
the QB one. So it's dipping its toes in the
sewer water at this point. Okay, it's dipping its toes
in the sewer water. Let mean, put these guys on
a whole one sick here and there we go, all right, So,

(06:22):
Deshaun Watson, the idea that there's any leader here as
we sit in mid May is it's nonsense. They've hardly
had any get togethers and practices or anything like that.
It's the off season. Hello, I'm sure there were some

(06:42):
cordial conversations that took place, and nice to have those
things and all that. This is spin spin, spin, spin, spin,
And ultimately, how does one trust a quarterback who's played
fewer games in recent years than Brownie the Elf? Do
you understand that Brownie the Elf has run out on

(07:03):
the field more than Deshaun Watson has In Cleveland? He's got,
if I'm not mistaken, not one but two snap crackle pop,
torn Achilles pop goes the Aklees. Deshaun Watson's played nineteen
games in Cleveland and is nine to ten. That is
his record, And somehow he is being hyped up. Who's

(07:27):
behind this?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Like?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
What is going on here? Why would you be doing this?
It's a May play. So I have a theory. As
I was making the long drive in here to the
hallowed hallways of Fox Sports Radio, I have a theory,
all right, So my theory is that this is the
The Browns are like, well, listen, we're stuck with this guy,

(07:51):
so why don't we try to pump them up a
little bit, and then inevitably, when a starting quarterback gets hurt,
we can somehow convince some dumb dumb to take this guy.
He say, hey, like they're pretending the relationship is healthy
because they already booked a vacation. So they're like, hey,

(08:12):
that's that's what we got. Watson is not a QB one,
not on a team that's trying and when, of course
the Browns aren't trying to win. Is they bought something,
he's the receipt. They can't return the item. It's all
sales are final. They're stuck. The Browns gave this man
two hundred and thirty million guaranteed. And it's not like
they didn't know that he was gaining the reputation as

(08:34):
the creepy quarterback. They still signed him. They knew exactly
what he was accused of and all the checks that
he cut, you know, the hush money to these different women,
but they still they paid him. They paid him in
the middle of two undred thirty million guaranteed. I believe
is the number for Deshaun Watson. The worst contract in
NFL history, and it's not even close. Congratulations to the

(08:55):
Cleveland Browns, who have no Super Bowls, but you do
have the worst contract ever handed out. Even Cardiac Stanley
can't believe what you were doing there and now here
they are parading Watson around like it's like it's an
episode of Pond Stars. And they got this Rolex watch. Well,
you know, I'm not familiar. I'm gonna bring in an

(09:16):
expert to find out how much this Rolex watch is worth. Well, okay,
so yeah, you have the rolics there and you're selling
it as a luxury item even though it's water damaged.
So it's a Rolex by its water damaged anyway, So
the Browns listen. I don't believe for a split second
that Todd Monkin is like.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
We're way to go.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
We got we got a guy in Deshaun Watson. I
don't believe. They don't have a quarterback, whether it's Dion's
kid or Watson. They don't have anybody mediocre. That's why
they're the Browns. And you know they'll be in the
top five of next year's NFL Draft and that's how
it goes every year. That's how this works. Furthermore, speaking
of prime time, well, Dion Sanders a lot to say recently, Dion,

(10:02):
who I guess is still a coach at Colorado, Deon
Sanders not happy with the Jacksonville football team. That's random. Yeah,
he's upset that the Jaguars failed to reach out to
him on how to properly coach defensive backslash wide receiver hybrid.
Travis Hunter.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Say what?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah? Uh so, of course a Hunter played for Deon
Sanders at Colorado and was there together in the in
the Rocky Mountain region there in Boulder, Colorado. And while
you would think that the Jags would have interest in
getting Sanders input at least Dion thinks that's the case,

(10:45):
Apparently that was not reality. They had no interest in
hearing what Dion Sanders had to say. That upset Deon Sanders,
who said recently that he says something on the Barber
Shop podcast do they cut hair that is, I don't know.
It's a real shave. It's a real shave. So he
was upset about that that they didn't he didn't get

(11:06):
the call or the text. Hey, Dion and tell us
how to coach this guy? Nothing happened, So the question
where are you at?

Speaker 4 (11:14):
On?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Dion Sanders mumbling and grumbling over the Jags not chatting
him up about coaching his former player Travis Hunter. So
Dion sounds like the over protective dad. He's furious with
the babysitter because the babysitter forgot to send photo updates

(11:39):
on On Hunter. Travis Hunter, I told you you're my babysit.
I need photo every hour. I need a photo. We're
not doing that. Why not I need a photo every hour?
Did you feed him? You didn't feed him? I told
you got to feed him? Bad job? Did you rotate
the coverage he needs? The coverage rotated? Bad job by you?

(12:03):
Did you tell me special? Did you tell no? You didn't?
You didn't tell them That's what I told them about Colorado.
I'm Deon Sanders, I'm coach Prime. I told him he's special.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Go on like that.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
But did Prime really expect the Jacksonville NFL team to
call him up? Like you know how you call up
best buy the geek squad? And I need some tech
support on Travis Hunter? Yes? Uh, Who're gonna call it geeks? No,
I'm not calling the geek squad. I'm calling Dion Sanders
is who I'm calling. Uh? Hi, Yes, Hey, we're trying

(12:33):
to install this two way supposedly speed merchant package. Uh yeah,
the system is it's not working the way it's supposed
to work here and we can't get admin approval. Can
you help us out? Dion? Sure? Why not? What the hell?
I'll help you out? What do you have to say?
Someone needs to remind Deon Sanders that this is the

(12:56):
the NFL, It's not the Colorado help esque. Last I checked. No,
he might be off to check with Mike, Mike the
Milkman and Milkman Mike and all those guys in Colorado.
But press no. I guess you pressed no. If you
want no, press two. Uh and then if you want support,
press one for Travis Hunter something along those lines. And

(13:20):
there's like a hotline number you can call up there.
And clearly it just didn't work. It did not work
last year. But Dion's acting like Jacksonville needed some kind
of permission, which is very bizarre. It's like a permission
slip just to coach the guy that they traded up
with the Browns to get Travis Hunter. It's it's odd.
So the other thing is is there something that we

(13:42):
don't know? Is there is there an accessory like Travis
Hunter comes with a deluxe user manual and Prime Time
Consulting LLC run by Dion Sanders. Primetime Consulting there if
you if you use the QR code, you'll get the
proper motivational quotes what to feed Travis Hunter and how

(14:04):
many times he needs the damn ball? And you'll also
get as an added bonus if you act right now,
a Dion Sanders sermon tossed in, So better do that
right now? Why not? All right, last thing, We're gonna
go to the way back machine.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
If you've been with me, and I've been here a
while at Fox Sports Radio in the earlier days, the
early days of Fox Sports Radio, this network could only
be on the air for like four years. I spent
a lot of my time ranting and raving about the
twenty oh four NFL Draft, and I was flustered. I
was bedraggled that this quarterback named Eli Manning out of

(14:42):
Old miss thought he was God's gift of football. I
knew he was mediocre. He turned out to be a
mediocre player. That aside. This guy thought he was God's
gift of football. He was very good and anyway, he
forced his way out of the old San Diego Chargers.
They had the top pick, he was projected as the
top quarterback and he didn't want to play. And the

(15:06):
story had always been that Archie Manning came in there
and pulled the powerplay, powerplay, power play. Well, I bring
this up because it was not clear to everybody when
Eli Manning refused to play for the Chargers again they
had the first pick in twenty oh four, it was
Archie Manning that was behind the decision. Well, Eli now
came out randomly recently said that's not true. Say what.

(15:30):
Eli Manning, appearing on some podcast that friends and family
listened to, said that while he and his agent Tom
Condon were on the same page anti San Diego, I
guess he's allergic to fish, tacos and all that and
perfect weather and perfect weather, he said that the Chargers
were the wrong place, wrong place for Eli Manning. He

(15:52):
said his parents though, did not agree with that. Yeah,
Eli Manning, who picked up the nickname the punk because
that's a punk move, bro. So he said, San Diego
the first pick I didn't really want to go there,
Eli Manning said. I just didn't feel like they were
the most committed team to winning at the time. Now,
they had this guy named Marty Schottenheimer who gave us

(16:16):
the NEPO baby, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys now
Shani two point zero. But anyway, that was the coach
of the Charger at the time. So the question is this,
how do you read Eli Manning's claims that he was
the one that was behind forcing the Chargers Draft day
trade and it was not his pops, Archie Manning, Because

(16:40):
that's the yarn that is being spun by Eli Manning
these days. So Eli's saying that he alone made the call,
like that alone. I saw this headline and my eyes
turned into saucers. I said, oh my god. So the
idea that Eli Manning alone made that call, it's kind
of like saying the sun rises because the rooster crowd. Well, no,

(17:05):
the Sun's gonna rise whether there's a rooster there or not.
The sun. That's what the sun does, you know. It's
just we're supposedly spinning around this thing, although the flat
earthers think we're not, and the hollow earths I don't
know what they believe. I'll have to read the paraphernalia
they send us. So this idea that he single handedly
stared down the Chargers front office is preposterous with a

(17:26):
capital P. It is blasphemous with a capital B, and
it is historically inaccurate. It is it's revisionist history, which
is the greatest kind of history because you're never wrong
because you're reinventing history. It's revisionist history. For Eli Manning
with a Southern drawl, is what it is like. Archie
was the power broker. Eli was the beneficiary of that.

(17:51):
Although I would rather play in San Diego than in
New York. But back in four, all right, you go
back to four. Remember Peyton Manning at that time was
an enigma. He wasn't very good the first few years
of his career. People only remember the good, they don't
remember the reality. He made a lot of mistakes, a
lot of turnovers. The Colts were a middling team for

(18:13):
the most part with Peyton Manning and Eli was unproven.
He was coming out of college at Ole Miss and
he had the Manning name, but he didn't do anything
that really impressed you all that much. You thought, well,
this guy's guaranteed to be a star. And Archie was
the only Manning. Archie Manning at the time was the
only Manning in the NFL world that had that league

(18:35):
wide clout from playing on some absolute I wanted to curse,
but I will not dog food teams in New Orleans
with the Saints, and so that resume. And he had
a rolodex. Archie Manning had a rolodex and the reputation
to make the Chargers blink a little bit. And that's
what happened. Nobody feared Eli Manning or Tom Condon. They

(18:58):
feared upsetting Archie Manning in that monarchy, which is a
whole different animal now than it was then. But Eli
claiming his parents didn't push push It is like saying
the Mannings don't like doing commercials. It's cute, but come on,
you can't turn on an NFL game without say, I
see in Mannings and Kelsey's they go back and forth.

(19:22):
Once commercial, once a Manning commercial, the next one's a
Kelsey commercial. This is the NFL's rep No it's not,
you know, some kind of cute little Disney movie and
all that. And quarterbacks they don't force trades unless they've
got somebody with some clout, like I don't know a
dad named Archie Manning. The Manning brand led by Archie,

(19:44):
which is it's a brand now back then it wasn't
such a thing. But that's that's why the trade happens.
So I just I love seeing this something and why
now twenty two years later, twenty two years later and
Eli Manning rewriting what happened, trying to change the narrative.
It's adorable, and I'm looking out for pops. Nobody believes

(20:05):
with half of brains, there's no way that's the way
it happened. Like the what Eli say now, place like
Archie was just in the kitchen, just hanging out there.
He was making a HOGI while his son strong armed
the old San Diego Chargers as she worked out by
That was that was a good trade for the Chargers
because Eli was mediocre. Drew Brees better quarterback, better quarterback

(20:30):
than Eli Manny. That's it's not even a hot take.
It's just an obvious take anybody in those ball Drew
Brees was a better player. He was more impactful. He
helped you win, changing the course of games. Eli was
just blah, he just was. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Hey?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Coople Loop, who's under the weather. We're doing what every
employee should be doing, saving their sick days to when
they're not sick. You can hit Coople Loop up at
a Bronco fan, a Rocco fan, and a Coop is
planning on having a career as a pickleball professional he's looking.
He's studying pickleball right now, looking forward to that, back

(23:09):
to it.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
To a very invigorating game of pickleball.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
By the way, Yes, boy, I would love to know
who's in those media. Let's put pickleball on TV.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
People want to watch Ryanstones on her dress.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's wild. It's wild if you had said years ago,
we're gonna put pickleball on TV. And I don't know.
I think we're the only ones watching this. But that's
that's good. So Pete Crow Armstrong, he's got some explaining
to do. Yeah. So he plays for the Cubs. They
gave him a big contract. He's been an absolute failure

(23:45):
this year for Chicago. He sucks, he's not very good,
appears to be bad at baseball, and that is a
problem for the Chicago Cubs. Pete Crow Armstrong, who took
the big money relatively speaking, he's unpaste at seventeen home
runs this year. He's played every day, but he's unpaste
at seventeen home runs and driving less than seventy runs

(24:07):
and strike out one hundred and sixty five times. He's
been real bad. So in the Cub White Sox game
on Sunday, Pete Crow Armstrong got caught up with a
white Sox fan, a female white Sox fan, who told him,
according to the video that is making the rounds on
the internet, like you suck, right, you suck? I guess,

(24:32):
And I don't want to speak for Pete crow Armstrong.
I don't want to do that, but it appears that
he did not appreciate this woman telling him that you
suck because in the video now it's been deleted, but
it's been reposted, so you can find it if you want.
Petere Armstrong responded to the woman by offering her some

(24:54):
let me see if I can say certain thing that
he thought she could do for him. How about that?
I don't know, how can I get any you know?
There's yeah uh and it was pretty clear. So get
you probably a fine or something like that, and I'll
be in some trouble there. The trell spree Well, when
I had my website, the treill Spreewell said that exact

(25:17):
same thing that Pete cro Arms song said, got fined
a game check And because of my my brilliant reporting
back in back in the day. Random random factoid, random FACTORID,
I's go on the phone, let's say hello, oh blind

Brown went on a rant. He is really upset with
our former morning guy Stephen A. Smith, and he he
was I don't say threating, but he said it ain't

(34:46):
your job to be a clown is one of the
lines that's like the money quote for he cursed and
he was upset with not Stephen A. Smith. I think
it was Kendrick Perkins as Well's going on a rant.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
It kind of is though, Isn't it exactly what I
was gonna say, Like, like stephen A his job is
to be a clown is his job is to get
high paid basketball players and football players to react.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
So Jalen Brown is so, I'll use the word again
up toose he doesn't realize he's feeding into the circus.
Like if you really want to upset stephen A. Smith,
if you really want to piss off Steven A. Smith,
an old morning guy, just ignore him. That will drive
him bonkers. He will lose his mind if you do that.
Isn't that right? Hollering James, that's right? Dark olor comedian?

(35:32):
Do you agree? Dark other comedian? Apparently? What is going
on with Door? I don't know, but we're so lucky,
all right, we were saved from he's there. I think
he does like Uber and Hawaii's because he's you know,
he's not the greatest comedian in the world. I don't know.
I don't know, all right. On that note, oh boy,

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
