Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Wednesday,
the day before Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's October thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And the Ravens have made a move. They've acquired Carolina
wide receiver Deontay Johnson. Caon you grade that trade. Also,
Brian Dable has declared that Daniel Jones will not be
benched for the Giants.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Also, how crazy would it be to see Dion Sanders
play one more NFL game with his son Shdur Sanders
next season. We'll talk about that as well. I know
it's crazy. We'll get to all of it right now here.
It is our number four Heavy Wednesday, battening up for
the stretch run. Welme in the beginning of another hour
(00:51):
of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air
eywhere that's right, hanging out together as we say, get
it while it's hot, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and blow tortially powerful microphones
(01:13):
of FSR amminating live from the house the boisterous, rowdy roughhouse.
We're broadcasting live the tyrack dot Com studios. Tire rack
dot Com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free roadhazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended

in stars. Now our friend are friend from Vegas who
came to the Malor meet and greet that we did there,
who loves mouthwashed. He's had about ten thousand gallons of
mouthwash over the years. That's a lot tyrac dot Com
the way tire buying show.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Be.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So we have a trade now. You may know, if
you've heard the show over the years, that I've been
in radio a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But I also at one point had a gossip website
that I ran and they did pretty well, pretty well,
did all right, had some important people that read it
and made some great contacts because of that website.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But it was a rumor site.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I've always loved trade deadlines and chatter about deals
and all that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Is from the flea market because we are now it's Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Today's the thirtieth day of October.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So if you look at the calendar, you've got today Wednesday,
You've got Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and then
on Tuesday the music stops. So six and a half
days or so to go before the music stops on
the game of chairs around the NFL, and with that
as a backdrop, we saw a handful of trades for
(02:53):
our purposes. One caught our attention more than the others
because it involves an offensive player, and we are by
is towards offensive players. Not that we don't love breaking
down offensive linemen and pass rushers, but you really have
to be a name brand player, someone we've heard of
for us to mention you in a Malard moddel so
(03:14):
a pass catcher. Now, if you didn't see this and
you're not following along, and maybe not, we've learned that
Carolina has said bye bye to wide receiver Deontay Johnson
and they have traded him, along with his sixth round
draft pick.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To the Ravens in return a fifth round pick.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
This is a move that is is of note because
it's somebody that played in Pittsburgh, Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Carolina is a terrible team, so it's not about that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But the Ravens they think of themselves as a legitimate contender.
They believe in their heart of hearts that they are
a threat to Kansas City. Even though the Ravens have
had a couple of apps resolutely pathetic losses on the season,
all right, or you scratch your head and you say,
(04:05):
what's going on with this team?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, how do they go out and play like that?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They lost to the Raiders at home this past weekend,
another embarrassing loss. But the Ravens to the Cleveland Browns.
So they want to improve the wide receiving group. So
let us discuss the question for the Esteemed panel. The
Ravens making a move for Carolina wide receiver Deontay Johnson.
Can you grade the trade? And you put a grade
(04:32):
on the trade of Deontay Johnson? Of course I can't.
So I've got serenade, laugh in and trading places, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
will take you back to the ancient days, is what
we're going to do, back when radio, not the Internet,
(04:55):
not television, radio dominated the world.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now to kick off, here, the Mallor.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Report card, which is the Report Carter record, is the
Report Carter record on all transactions the Ravens acquiring Deontay Johnson.
On the Malar scorecard, I give Baltimore a C minus.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I give the Panthers an F.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, now for you raven Hawks, I know who
you are who believe that this was somehow highway robbery,
I would advise you to pump the brakes on that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I was like, coolier jets, all right, cool your jets
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Deontay Johnson clearly his reputation precedes him, and that is
why the trade was made the way it was trade.
There is a there's a reason that Baltimore got him
for peanuts. I read all these stories leading up to
the deadline that the Carolina Panthers this, that, and the
other thing for Deontay Johnson, and there was a run
(05:55):
on wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Amari Cooper went the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You look at the Jets with Devonte Adams and you're like, well,
this is the next player to be moved. But the
reason that this was essentially a giveaway is despite elite
level talent and Johnson, nobody will question he's got the
skill set to be an amazing player. He's unreliable. That's
(06:19):
the rub on this guy. That's the scouting report. He
comes with a warning label. Handle with care. There is
a biohazard with Deontay Johnson. He drops the ball at
a time you cannot drop the ball, and if you
go back to his days when he was on a
team that was trying to win in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin,
(06:41):
who's pretty good at handling nutjobs, Mike Tomlin could not handle,
could not handle in Pittsburgh, and they said bye bye.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They let him go, They got rid of him.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And he really had no chance in Charlotte because Carolina
is a powder puff football team. But the guy like Johnson,
this guy Deontay Johnson, he will sarenade you, but he's
a backup singer. And is that all the Ravens need that.
He's your new number three receiver on my big board.
If you look at the depth chart in Baltimore, he
(07:17):
replaces Nelson Agilaar on the depth chart. You've got Zay
Flowers who almost got hurt but apparently it's okay as
the number one wide receiver. You've got Rashad Bateman as
the number two, and then number three will be the
new guy, Deontay Johnson. So you don't get too excited.
I give that a C minus. It's a chop liver move.
(07:39):
He didn't give up anything. You didn't really get anything.
Maybe now and again, Deyontay Johnson'll will make a play.
But he'll also drop a pass at a key moment.
Now for Carolina, I'm actually gonna give them an F.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
He said, Well, how can you give how can you
give the Ravens to see minus? How do you give
the Carolina and f? It makes those That makes my
mekes fight stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
All right, here's why they unloaded Johnson for literally nothing. Right,
they barely move up in the draft. The difference between
the Carolina pick that they sent now the trade again,
it was a sixth round pick in Deontay Johnson for
a fifth round pick. So Carolina's sixth round pick is
(08:24):
going to be right near the top of the sixth round. Okay,
so the Ravens draft pick is going to be at
the very bottom top and bottom three picks, most likely
in the fifth round. So maybe they moved up. I
don't know five or six spots. I know there's some
(08:44):
other picks that are tossed in, but it's not a
very big move. Maybe fifteen picks at the most when
they add all the extra picks into the draft, So
it's not really that.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Much of a move up.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So why not just either keep the player and wait
until the eleventh hour at the day it doesn't to me,
that may a lot of sense to make this trade,
like you're not really benefiting. They unloaded Johnson for nothing,
and they couldn't even finagle a higher pick. You couldn't
get a higher draft pick than that, even with his reputation.
(09:16):
There's always a desperate sucker, always, and they failed to
find the sucker in the room. And if you fail
to find the sucker in the room, you are the
sucker in the room. So in this case, it's football
malpractice by the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Nothing new, all right. Furthermore to New York, we go
the day after the Giants melted down laid against the
Seelers bumba turnover interception. We got the standard decree, standard decree.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Handed out by head coach of the Giants there on
the future of the quarterback, Brian Dable, who used to
be fat and then he got on Ozepik and lost
a Lottle eight. Brian Dable, I don't know what he's
doing anyway. He has declared that Daniel Jones won't be
benched for the Giants despite a fumble interception late in
(10:09):
that game.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Why not? Why not? All right? So we have determined
that this is.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now a boilerplate Mallard monologue that this is not rare
and appropriate.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It is now every single week.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The Giants are so far into the Dulgrums that we
have to bring this up on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know you don't have a.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Good quarterback when every week you have to announce that
he's still going to be your quarterback. And Brian Dable
is an everyday statist. He takes pleasure. I'm convinced now
in the Giant fans pain, but he's able to fly
under the radar. And it reminds me there used to
be this old TV show before my time. But there's
a catchphrase from this TV show which is still relevant today.
(10:54):
The TV show is called Laughing and the phrase which
is still used to this day is what you see
is what you get.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Er Go.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Daniel Jones is not going to change, he said, sixty
seven starts in the NFL. What you see is what
you get. This is the finished product. Brian Dable is
going to be the offensive coordinator for the Patriots or
the Bears or fill in the blank. He ain't gonna
be a coach in the NFL because Danny Dimes is
(11:26):
a coach killer not the truelock or Tommy Cutlets are
a bowl of grapes.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But at this point I'd rather see Tommy Cutlets out there.
But then he might actually win a couple of games,
and that would f up the Giants' plans to have
a top five pick. Yet again, who will underachieve? All right,
last thing, we go to a hybrid story. It's a
it's like a college story in NFL story. Dion Sanders,
(11:53):
that's a college football coach, has apparently been inspired by
Lebron James. Now this comes from the quarterback son of Dion,
Shadur Sanders, who says that Dion has been motivated by
that nonsense made for TV NBA marketing Lebron Bronni game.
(12:15):
Remember the first game of the year when Lebron and
BRONI played together. Father son moment and so Shadur Sanders like,
He's like, yeah, my dad would like to put the
pads back on. Shadur said recently that Dion thought about
coming back.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For one game, one game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That he'd only be on the kickoff return and he
would just be a front line blocker, not doing anything,
just making history. So I ask you how crazy would
it be. How crazy would it be? Is there any
world where Dion Sanders is allowed to play one more
(12:53):
NFL game with his son Shadeur Sanders? Absolutely, I believe
we live in the multiverse. There is a dimension in
the multiverse where this happens, right, And if Lebron James
can manipulate the NBA and the idiots running the Lakers
(13:14):
to allow that moment to happen, then why can't.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Deon Sanders Now? The key is unlike.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Lebron, who's still I don't know what kind of magic
dust he's you know he's using or magic beans, he's
still a productive NBA player when he's passed the expiration date.
His kid sucks. But in this situation, Dion obviously is
not any good. He can't play anymore Shoulder Sanders. If
(13:40):
he is as good as advertised and is the number
one quarterback in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, this
is not as fugazy as it sounds, right, and it's
like a trading places remake.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
The difference Schader Sanders again legit NFL prospect. Let's say
Deon Sanders is.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Like, I don't want my kid playing for the Carolina
Panthers and he's gonna try to manipulate the draft.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Maybe he doesn't want to keep playing it with the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Whoever, and you make a deal, he said, listen, we're
gonna draft your kid, We're gonna sign you, and we're
Dion's fifty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
This is crazy. But if it got you.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Shader Sanders, and you believe that Shadeur Sanders is God's
gift to the quarterback position, the chosen.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
One, the next big thing. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
You're telling me you wouldn't do a pr stunt with
Deon Sanders at age fifty eight next year, put him
out there in the Brownnie James.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Role to make a wish role, for a token appearance.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
If that's the price of admission, if you're Carolina or
the Jets or the Patriots to get Schadeur Sanders, althowise
he wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Want to play for your team. You know somebody would
sign off on as crazy as that is. Now, would
the NFL allow it? Probably would? It probably would.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Right father's son Nike would say we want it, and
there you go. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Alf the Alien opiner writes and it says just sounds
like the queen is really in tonight. She sended a
bit like Roberto there fe crank calling after a Dodger win. Yeah, well,
Roberto has been texting me during these Dodger World Series
games for those of you that miss Roberto, And yeah,
(16:40):
I was, I was yelling via text at Roberto because
I hate bullpen games. And Roberto is our old producer,
old engineer who's left radio for his dream job of
being a bus driver. And yeah, so I love Roberto.
I'll bet you I didn't Roberto didn't say this, But
(17:01):
if the Dodgers lose tonight and there's Game six on
Friday night at Dodger Stadium, I'll bet your Roberto pulls
out the the.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The Rainy Day Fund.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, I'll bet you a late night drug test that
says the only result of these midseason trades is NFL
bottom feeders will have more chances to make bad picks. Well,
not even that late night drug tester, because on this one,
the trade we really didn't improve. You didn't get an
extra pick.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You did a pick swap. You traded the player. Carolina
traded the player and a pick swap.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Now every once in a while, you do make a
trade and it wins a championship. The Rams got von
Miller from the Broncos and he made some plays for
them the year they ended up winning the Super Bowl,
and that was a mid season trade.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They got O'Dell Beckham. That was not a deadline deal,
but they did that that deal as well.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Mass o' mickey says, what do you think about the
rumored Vante Adams to the Commanders for a first round pick? Yeah,
I don't I don't see that happen unless Aaron Rodgers
is traded. Now, that would be so imagine if the
Jets traded Aaron Rodgers. What if the Jets said, Hey,
we got to get rid of this guy and we'll
trade him to the Vikings for Sam Darnold. Now, that
(18:18):
would make your head explode, wouldn't it. Maybe not, Maybe
your head would not explode. Yeah, I don't know that
you want your head to explode. I'm not sure that
you want that at all. Let's go to the phones.

Hey? The then on line with you one time earlier
when I asked loreno question.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But I heard you, Yes, you were.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You sounded full of energy then and you sad even
more energetic right now.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
You were working voice so much. But I'm just very monotoning, sir.
I can't I can't do much about it.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh I understand. Listen, you think I'm goofing on you,
I'm not. You just sound like you're very calm. And
you know, I'm of the generation I grew up where
people called the radio and they got all excited, you know,
and all that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But that's an outdated reference I got.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
I'm actually getting more excited the more that I call
your show. As a matter of fact, well.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Look at that, we're getting all all Tingley calling the show.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
What kind of worked do you?
Speaker 8 (21:57):
What kind of worked are you doing for joy right now?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Tell us again what you do.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
I wanted to say that it was really great when uh,
when you graded the trade on the Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I immediately said it was a C for the Ravens
and a D for the for the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh look at that. Great minds think alike there great
And what did you give him?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
A C minus in and Nat?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I did, Yes, I gave Carolina And I was.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Like, that is so fair, and you want to know
it's worse. I wouldn't have called back if it didn't
continue when you started talking about the oat stuff about
the giants.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, well, you know I always talk stuff about the
giants because that's.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
What I right. But it made sense. You were also
correct at that point.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, yeah, no, how long.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
How long are you gonna How long are you going
to let Jones like he has arm talent but he
doesn't show it and then he throws these stupid interceptions
and turnover.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, well and he's been, he's been. This is his
sixth year in the end NFL. It's like people I
cannot stand.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I don't feel like me, Dan, but I hate the
people that are the quarterback apologists.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I can't stand them.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I thought Eli was mediocre and he was at clutch times, well.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He had only twice he was.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Old only twice, correct, I watched him for twelve years.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
No, I know, but I'm saying that he made the
playoffs I think three or four other times, and it
was one and done every other time.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But people, you know, I get it, you only remember
the playoff runs. But he was mediocre. He's not a
Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
He was average and he had a couple of weird
experiences in the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
So, in fairness, I do believe that he earned himself
a spot only because of those playoff performances.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now, but it's a team The playoffs are a team.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Award, not I watched him go five and twelve numerous times,
or five and eleven numerous times back when I was
sixteen game season.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I got you. How about your nick name? How about
energetic Dan? Could that be your nickname? Energetic Dan?
Speaker 8 (24:02):
It could be. It'd be very sarcastic, Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, you know I don't do sarcasm, Dan. You know
I don't believe in that.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
No, never, never would that.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Would be inappropriate to do sarcasm.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Thank you, Dan, I'm sure I'll talk to you soon,
all right, buddy, Yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
That you're right. It's a CN and half and and
Dana Jones is done in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Well, thank you all right, Well, as long as we agree,
thank God, great minds think alike.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And we roll on in a wide receiver by the
name of Jamison Williams.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know who that is? Maybe not?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He plays for the Detroit Lions, although not right now.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
He hit the daily double, the Daily double? What is
the daily double?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So the Detroit Police Department is in a lot of trouble.
Apparently our guy Jamison Williams got some NFL privilege. The
police department is investigating how the Lions wide receiver, Jamison
Williams was not arrested. Back on October eighth, he was
(25:10):
pulled over and there's a report out from the TV station.
One of the TV station's WXYZ. Oh those are good
call letters in Detroit. WXYZ, I like that anyway, TV
Station Detroit. They said that Jones was pulled over and
he was not taken into custody. Police found an unlicensed
(25:30):
gun in his car, which is problematic. What no I
know unlicensed? Police said, maybe he.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Was going to the gun range or something.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Anyway, police said the discovery was made when Williams was
pulled over for speeding. His brother apparently also had a
gun in the car, registered legally, and he was not
arrested for that. Normally you end up getting arrested. He
would be arresting officers. He told them that he played
(26:05):
for the Lions three times.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I guess that's good. You can do whatever you want.
If he played for the Lions, they're good. Now.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Now, back when the Lions were bad, you would have
been arrested in charge with a felony. But now that
the Lions are good, you can't put a Lions player
in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So at that point, since the guy kept saying, but
how come that works? When I got pulled over, I said,
I do a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I said.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
The guy had never heard of me. Anyway, the guy said,
The guy said, I played for the Lions. A supervisor
was called and per policy, they were worried about media
covers and all that. The sergeant was a Lions fan
and immediately recognized William's name.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The body camera footage showed that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
The guy had like the officer had the Lions logo
on his cell phone, so he's big like Lions guy
and all that. And so now there's an internal review
and they've now requested an arrest warrant for Jamison Williams
of the Lions. He's also serving a two game suspension
for using steroids, so he's that's the daily double. Not
(27:08):
only is he currently suspended for peds, he's also he
also served a four game suspension for gambling.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So forget a daily double. That's like, that's a three
team parlay right there.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
He got gambling suspension twenty twenty three, steroid suspension now
and unlicensed gun rest warrant.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
He's having an interesting time. Let's say loo to Marcel
in Brooklyn.

thank You'll look right. That's another win all time wins.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
King
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Wednesday,
the day before Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's October thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And the Ravens have made a move. They've acquired Carolina
wide receiver Deontay Johnson. Caon you grade that trade. Also,
Brian Dable has declared that Daniel Jones will not be
benched for the Giants.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Also, how crazy would it be to see Dion Sanders
play one more NFL game with his son Shdur Sanders
next season. We'll talk about that as well. I know
it's crazy. We'll get to all of it right now here.
It is our number four Heavy Wednesday, battening up for
the stretch run. Welme in the beginning of another hour
(00:51):
of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air
eywhere that's right, hanging out together as we say, get
it while it's hot, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and blow tortially powerful microphones
(01:13):
of FSR amminating live from the house the boisterous, rowdy roughhouse.
We're broadcasting live the tyrack dot Com studios. Tire rack
dot Com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free roadhazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended

came to the Malor meet and greet that we did there,
who loves mouthwashed. He's had about ten thousand gallons of
mouthwash over the years. That's a lot tyrac dot Com
the way tire buying show.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Be.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So we have a trade now. You may know, if
you've heard the show over the years, that I've been
in radio a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But I also at one point had a gossip website
that I ran and they did pretty well, pretty well,
did all right, had some important people that read it
and made some great contacts because of that website.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But it was a rumor site.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I've always loved trade deadlines and chatter about deals
and all that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Is from the flea market because we are now it's Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Today's the thirtieth day of October.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So if you look at the calendar, you've got today Wednesday,
You've got Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and then
on Tuesday the music stops. So six and a half
days or so to go before the music stops on
the game of chairs around the NFL, and with that
as a backdrop, we saw a handful of trades for
(02:53):
our purposes. One caught our attention more than the others
because it involves an offensive player, and we are by
is towards offensive players. Not that we don't love breaking
down offensive linemen and pass rushers, but you really have
to be a name brand player, someone we've heard of
for us to mention you in a Malard moddel so
(03:14):
a pass catcher. Now, if you didn't see this and
you're not following along, and maybe not, we've learned that
Carolina has said bye bye to wide receiver Deontay Johnson
and they have traded him, along with his sixth round
draft pick.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
To the Ravens in return a fifth round pick.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
This is a move that is is of note because
it's somebody that played in Pittsburgh, Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Carolina is a terrible team, so it's not about that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But the Ravens they think of themselves as a legitimate contender.
They believe in their heart of hearts that they are
a threat to Kansas City. Even though the Ravens have
had a couple of apps resolutely pathetic losses on the season,
all right, or you scratch your head and you say,
(04:05):
what's going on with this team?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, how do they go out and play like that?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They lost to the Raiders at home this past weekend,
another embarrassing loss. But the Ravens to the Cleveland Browns.
So they want to improve the wide receiving group. So
let us discuss the question for the Esteemed panel. The
Ravens making a move for Carolina wide receiver Deontay Johnson.
Can you grade the trade? And you put a grade
(04:32):
on the trade of Deontay Johnson? Of course I can't.
So I've got serenade, laugh in and trading places, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
will take you back to the ancient days, is what
we're going to do, back when radio, not the Internet,
(04:55):
not television, radio dominated the world.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now to kick off, here, the Mallor.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Report card, which is the Report Carter record, is the
Report Carter record on all transactions the Ravens acquiring Deontay Johnson.
On the Malar scorecard, I give Baltimore a C minus.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I give the Panthers an F.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, now for you raven Hawks, I know who
you are who believe that this was somehow highway robbery,
I would advise you to pump the brakes on that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I was like, coolier jets, all right, cool your jets
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Deontay Johnson clearly his reputation precedes him, and that is
why the trade was made the way it was trade.
There is a there's a reason that Baltimore got him
for peanuts. I read all these stories leading up to
the deadline that the Carolina Panthers this, that, and the
other thing for Deontay Johnson, and there was a run
(05:55):
on wide receivers.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Amari Cooper went the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You look at the Jets with Devonte Adams and you're like, well,
this is the next player to be moved. But the
reason that this was essentially a giveaway is despite elite
level talent and Johnson, nobody will question he's got the
skill set to be an amazing player. He's unreliable. That's
(06:19):
the rub on this guy. That's the scouting report. He
comes with a warning label. Handle with care. There is
a biohazard with Deontay Johnson. He drops the ball at
a time you cannot drop the ball, and if you
go back to his days when he was on a
team that was trying to win in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin,
(06:41):
who's pretty good at handling nutjobs, Mike Tomlin could not handle,
could not handle in Pittsburgh, and they said bye bye.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They let him go, They got rid of him.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And he really had no chance in Charlotte because Carolina
is a powder puff football team. But the guy like Johnson,
this guy Deontay Johnson, he will sarenade you, but he's
a backup singer. And is that all the Ravens need that.
He's your new number three receiver on my big board.
If you look at the depth chart in Baltimore, he
(07:17):
replaces Nelson Agilaar on the depth chart. You've got Zay
Flowers who almost got hurt but apparently it's okay as
the number one wide receiver. You've got Rashad Bateman as
the number two, and then number three will be the
new guy, Deontay Johnson. So you don't get too excited.
I give that a C minus. It's a chop liver move.
(07:39):
He didn't give up anything. You didn't really get anything.
Maybe now and again, Deyontay Johnson'll will make a play.
But he'll also drop a pass at a key moment.
Now for Carolina, I'm actually gonna give them an F.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
He said, Well, how can you give how can you
give the Ravens to see minus? How do you give
the Carolina and f? It makes those That makes my
mekes fight stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
All right, here's why they unloaded Johnson for literally nothing. Right,
they barely move up in the draft. The difference between
the Carolina pick that they sent now the trade again,
it was a sixth round pick in Deontay Johnson for
a fifth round pick. So Carolina's sixth round pick is
(08:24):
going to be right near the top of the sixth round. Okay,
so the Ravens draft pick is going to be at
the very bottom top and bottom three picks, most likely
in the fifth round. So maybe they moved up. I
don't know five or six spots. I know there's some
(08:44):
other picks that are tossed in, but it's not a
very big move. Maybe fifteen picks at the most when
they add all the extra picks into the draft, So
it's not really that.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Much of a move up.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So why not just either keep the player and wait
until the eleventh hour at the day it doesn't to me,
that may a lot of sense to make this trade,
like you're not really benefiting. They unloaded Johnson for nothing,
and they couldn't even finagle a higher pick. You couldn't
get a higher draft pick than that, even with his reputation.
(09:16):
There's always a desperate sucker, always, and they failed to
find the sucker in the room. And if you fail
to find the sucker in the room, you are the
sucker in the room. So in this case, it's football
malpractice by the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Nothing new, all right. Furthermore to New York, we go
the day after the Giants melted down laid against the
Seelers bumba turnover interception. We got the standard decree, standard decree.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Handed out by head coach of the Giants there on
the future of the quarterback, Brian Dable, who used to
be fat and then he got on Ozepik and lost
a Lottle eight. Brian Dable, I don't know what he's
doing anyway. He has declared that Daniel Jones won't be
benched for the Giants despite a fumble interception late in
(10:09):
that game.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Why not? Why not? All right? So we have determined
that this is.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now a boilerplate Mallard monologue that this is not rare
and appropriate.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It is now every single week.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The Giants are so far into the Dulgrums that we
have to bring this up on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know you don't have a.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Good quarterback when every week you have to announce that
he's still going to be your quarterback. And Brian Dable
is an everyday statist. He takes pleasure. I'm convinced now
in the Giant fans pain, but he's able to fly
under the radar. And it reminds me there used to
be this old TV show before my time. But there's
a catchphrase from this TV show which is still relevant today.
(10:54):
The TV show is called Laughing and the phrase which
is still used to this day is what you see
is what you get.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Er Go.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Daniel Jones is not going to change, he said, sixty
seven starts in the NFL. What you see is what
you get. This is the finished product. Brian Dable is
going to be the offensive coordinator for the Patriots or
the Bears or fill in the blank. He ain't gonna
be a coach in the NFL because Danny Dimes is
(11:26):
a coach killer not the truelock or Tommy Cutlets are
a bowl of grapes.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But at this point I'd rather see Tommy Cutlets out there.
But then he might actually win a couple of games,
and that would f up the Giants' plans to have
a top five pick. Yet again, who will underachieve? All right,
last thing, we go to a hybrid story. It's a
it's like a college story in NFL story. Dion Sanders,
(11:53):
that's a college football coach, has apparently been inspired by
Lebron James. Now this comes from the quarterback son of Dion,
Shadur Sanders, who says that Dion has been motivated by
that nonsense made for TV NBA marketing Lebron Bronni game.
(12:15):
Remember the first game of the year when Lebron and
BRONI played together. Father son moment and so Shadur Sanders like,
He's like, yeah, my dad would like to put the
pads back on. Shadur said recently that Dion thought about
coming back.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
For one game, one game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That he'd only be on the kickoff return and he
would just be a front line blocker, not doing anything,
just making history. So I ask you how crazy would
it be. How crazy would it be? Is there any
world where Dion Sanders is allowed to play one more
(12:53):
NFL game with his son Shadeur Sanders? Absolutely, I believe
we live in the multiverse. There is a dimension in
the multiverse where this happens, right, And if Lebron James
can manipulate the NBA and the idiots running the Lakers
(13:14):
to allow that moment to happen, then why can't.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Deon Sanders Now? The key is unlike.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Lebron, who's still I don't know what kind of magic
dust he's you know he's using or magic beans, he's
still a productive NBA player when he's passed the expiration date.
His kid sucks. But in this situation, Dion obviously is
not any good. He can't play anymore Shoulder Sanders. If
(13:40):
he is as good as advertised and is the number
one quarterback in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, this
is not as fugazy as it sounds, right, and it's
like a trading places remake.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
The difference Schader Sanders again legit NFL prospect. Let's say
Deon Sanders is.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Like, I don't want my kid playing for the Carolina
Panthers and he's gonna try to manipulate the draft.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Maybe he doesn't want to keep playing it with the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Whoever, and you make a deal, he said, listen, we're
gonna draft your kid, We're gonna sign you, and we're
Dion's fifty seven years old.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
This is crazy. But if it got you.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Shader Sanders, and you believe that Shadeur Sanders is God's
gift to the quarterback position, the chosen.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
One, the next big thing. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
You're telling me you wouldn't do a pr stunt with
Deon Sanders at age fifty eight next year, put him
out there in the Brownnie James.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Role to make a wish role, for a token appearance.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
If that's the price of admission, if you're Carolina or
the Jets or the Patriots to get Schadeur Sanders, althowise
he wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Want to play for your team. You know somebody would
sign off on as crazy as that is. Now, would
the NFL allow it? Probably would? It probably would.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Alf the Alien opiner writes and it says just sounds
like the queen is really in tonight. She sended a
bit like Roberto there fe crank calling after a Dodger win. Yeah, well,
Roberto has been texting me during these Dodger World Series
games for those of you that miss Roberto, And yeah,
(16:40):
I was, I was yelling via text at Roberto because
I hate bullpen games. And Roberto is our old producer,
old engineer who's left radio for his dream job of
being a bus driver. And yeah, so I love Roberto.
I'll bet you I didn't Roberto didn't say this, But
(17:01):
if the Dodgers lose tonight and there's Game six on
Friday night at Dodger Stadium, I'll bet your Roberto pulls
out the the.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The Rainy Day Fund.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, I'll bet you a late night drug test that
says the only result of these midseason trades is NFL
bottom feeders will have more chances to make bad picks. Well,
not even that late night drug tester, because on this one,
the trade we really didn't improve. You didn't get an
extra pick.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You did a pick swap. You traded the player. Carolina
traded the player and a pick swap.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Now every once in a while, you do make a
trade and it wins a championship. The Rams got von
Miller from the Broncos and he made some plays for
them the year they ended up winning the Super Bowl,
and that was a mid season trade.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They got O'Dell Beckham. That was not a deadline deal,
but they did that that deal as well.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Mass o' mickey says, what do you think about the
rumored Vante Adams to the Commanders for a first round pick? Yeah,
I don't I don't see that happen unless Aaron Rodgers
is traded. Now, that would be so imagine if the
Jets traded Aaron Rodgers. What if the Jets said, Hey,
we got to get rid of this guy and we'll
trade him to the Vikings for Sam Darnold. Now, that
(18:18):
would make your head explode, wouldn't it. Maybe not, Maybe
your head would not explode. Yeah, I don't know that
you want your head to explode. I'm not sure that
you want that at all. Let's go to the phones.
Let's say hello to hal Pal haven't heard from him

Speaker 8 (21:19):
Hey? The then on line with you one time earlier
when I asked loreno question.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But I heard you, Yes, you were.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You sounded full of energy then and you sad even
more energetic right now.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
You were working voice so much. But I'm just very monotoning, sir.
I can't I can't do much about it.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh I understand. Listen, you think I'm goofing on you,
I'm not. You just sound like you're very calm. And
you know, I'm of the generation I grew up where
people called the radio and they got all excited, you know,
and all that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But that's an outdated reference I got.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
I'm actually getting more excited the more that I call
your show. As a matter of fact, well.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Look at that, we're getting all all Tingley calling the show.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
What kind of worked do you?
Speaker 8 (21:57):
What kind of worked are you doing for joy right now?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Tell us again what you do.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
I wanted to say that it was really great when uh,
when you graded the trade on the Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I immediately said it was a C for the Ravens
and a D for the for the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh look at that. Great minds think alike there great
And what did you give him?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
A C minus in and Nat?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I did, Yes, I gave Carolina And I was.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Like, that is so fair, and you want to know
it's worse. I wouldn't have called back if it didn't
continue when you started talking about the oat stuff about
the giants.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, well, you know I always talk stuff about the
giants because that's.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
What I right. But it made sense. You were also
correct at that point.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, yeah, no, how long.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
How long are you gonna How long are you going
to let Jones like he has arm talent but he
doesn't show it and then he throws these stupid interceptions
and turnover.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, well and he's been, he's been. This is his
sixth year in the end NFL. It's like people I
cannot stand.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I don't feel like me, Dan, but I hate the
people that are the quarterback apologists.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I can't stand them.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I thought Eli was mediocre and he was at clutch times, well.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He had only twice he was.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Old only twice, correct, I watched him for twelve years.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
No, I know, but I'm saying that he made the
playoffs I think three or four other times, and it
was one and done every other time.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But people, you know, I get it, you only remember
the playoff runs. But he was mediocre. He's not a
Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
He was average and he had a couple of weird
experiences in the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
So, in fairness, I do believe that he earned himself
a spot only because of those playoff performances.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now, but it's a team The playoffs are a team.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Award, not I watched him go five and twelve numerous times,
or five and eleven numerous times back when I was
sixteen game season.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I got you. How about your nick name? How about
energetic Dan? Could that be your nickname? Energetic Dan?
Speaker 8 (24:02):
It could be. It'd be very sarcastic, Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, you know I don't do sarcasm, Dan. You know
I don't believe in that.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
No, never, never would that.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Would be inappropriate to do sarcasm.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Thank you, Dan, I'm sure I'll talk to you soon,
all right, buddy, Yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
That you're right. It's a CN and half and and
Dana Jones is done in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Well, thank you all right, Well, as long as we agree,
thank God, great minds think alike.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And we roll on in a wide receiver by the
name of Jamison Williams.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know who that is? Maybe not?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He plays for the Detroit Lions, although not right now.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
He hit the daily double, the Daily double? What is
the daily double?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So the Detroit Police Department is in a lot of trouble.
Apparently our guy Jamison Williams got some NFL privilege. The
police department is investigating how the Lions wide receiver, Jamison
Williams was not arrested. Back on October eighth, he was
(25:10):
pulled over and there's a report out from the TV station.
One of the TV station's WXYZ. Oh those are good
call letters in Detroit. WXYZ, I like that anyway, TV
Station Detroit. They said that Jones was pulled over and
he was not taken into custody. Police found an unlicensed
(25:30):
gun in his car, which is problematic. What no I
know unlicensed? Police said, maybe he.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Was going to the gun range or something.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Anyway, police said the discovery was made when Williams was
pulled over for speeding. His brother apparently also had a
gun in the car, registered legally, and he was not
arrested for that. Normally you end up getting arrested. He
would be arresting officers. He told them that he played
(26:05):
for the Lions three times.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I guess that's good. You can do whatever you want.
If he played for the Lions, they're good. Now.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Now, back when the Lions were bad, you would have
been arrested in charge with a felony. But now that
the Lions are good, you can't put a Lions player
in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So at that point, since the guy kept saying, but
how come that works? When I got pulled over, I said,
I do a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I said.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
The guy had never heard of me. Anyway, the guy said,
The guy said, I played for the Lions. A supervisor
was called and per policy, they were worried about media
covers and all that. The sergeant was a Lions fan
and immediately recognized William's name.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The body camera footage showed that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
The guy had like the officer had the Lions logo
on his cell phone, so he's big like Lions guy
and all that. And so now there's an internal review
and they've now requested an arrest warrant for Jamison Williams
of the Lions. He's also serving a two game suspension
for using steroids, so he's that's the daily double. Not
(27:08):
only is he currently suspended for peds, he's also he
also served a four game suspension for gambling.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So forget a daily double. That's like, that's a three
team parlay right there.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
He got gambling suspension twenty twenty three, steroid suspension now
and unlicensed gun rest warrant.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
He's having an interesting time. Let's say loo to Marcel
in Brooklyn.
