Don't forget fifth hour podcast available on the weekends. We

all of that available, but time now for this in
hour four, what is the level of importance to Viking
wide receiver Justin Jefferson being spotted in the area around
Florham Park, New Jersey over the weekend. He also decided
(00:44):
not to show up to the Vikings offseason workouts. And
speaking of that, Cowboys wide out Ceedee Lamb and Bengals
wide out T Higgins are both gonna miss the OTAs
this week. Give me your reaction to that and Tom
Brady's Raider ownership being opposed by some teams due to
his Fox TV role. What do you think of this?
(01:07):
We'll go there, and there, and there and a whole
lot more. Have a wonderful Tuesday, enjoy this twenty first
day of May. Here it is our number four seeing
ghosts or receivers say what Welcome In the beginning of
(01:30):
another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in
the air everywhere, teammates as we do sweat the details
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and euphorically powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from
(01:52):
the chow as we are in the chow line, serving
up fresh takes into the wee hours of the morning,
and we're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com series.
Tyraq dot Com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(02:12):
recommended installers. Ken in Columbia, South Carolina, who gave me
the hat of the day here he said, I should
wear the hat ten thousand times. I probably will. Tyraq
dot com the way tire buying should be. At our
lead this hour, we go where the story of the
day takes us in the grid iron gossip mill, a
(02:35):
grid iron gossip mill, a cranking over time. As we
get to the late stages of May, there's a certain
rhythmic nature to the calendar. We had the NFL draft
back in late April. We've got organized team activities going
on right now, it's time to work out, time to
(02:56):
work out, but not everyone is working out. The NFL
make sure to stagger the team's workouts so we have
fresh content every single day of the week. A little
fresh content here the Jets are working out, for example,
a handful of teams working out, and then next week
there'll be some other teams working out, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. But not everyone, as I mentioned, including if
(03:18):
you didn't see this Viking wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who
has been in talks with the Minnesota football team about
a contract extension, but there has been no progress, a
lack of progress, a stone wall situation there, and so
he is trying to send a message. He's unhappy, and
so he decided to skip the started the ots. Oh,
(03:41):
that'll show the Vikings. That'll show the Vikings have done
so much to lick this guy's toes. The coach and
the GM man, they're all excited. But wait, there's more.
We are told that Justin Jefferson was spotted by an
inquisitive scribe from Sports Illustrated. FU went out of business,
but apparently there's still around spotted Justin Jefferson in Florham Park,
(04:06):
New Jersey. Now, what the hell goes on in Florham Park,
New Jersey? And why should you care about it? Why
does that matter? Well, this happened over the weekend. That
is the same Florham Park where Jefferson was hanging out,
where the New York Jets facility is located. Oh my god,
(04:30):
take a breath, try to compose yourself. It's amazing. We
got something. So anyway, let's talk about this. What is
the level of importance of Viking wide receiver Justin Jefferson
being spotted by a reporter in Florham Park over the weekend.
What is the significance of that? I've got Dino Nuggets,
(04:51):
Warner Brothers, and Black Sabbath and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make bubbles, and
lots of bubbles is what we're going to make. So
to lead off here, to answer the question, what is
the level of importance? The Malard scale of importance one
to ten on Viking wide receiver Justin Jefferson being spotted
(05:15):
in the Florham Park, New Jersey area, the training facility
of the Jets. One to ten, ten being the most important.
I am going to go a two point five two
point five on the Malar scale of importance. It is
mildly interesting. It is mildly interesting. So I did some
(05:37):
snooping around on this because I have a lot of
free time and I have four hours to fill every night,
so I did some snoopy. Okay, and this is before
I tell you what I uncovered. This is the kind
of a story that is perfect for this part of
the calendar. It's a speculative story. It's taken out of
(05:58):
thin air. It's pretty. It makes her mind wander. Could
it be that Justin Jefferson is talking to people from
the Jets and he actually met and he wanted to
tour the Jets facility and figure out whether he wants
to play for the Jets, and would the Vikings trade
him and what would the Vikings get? And oh, my god,
my head's going to explode like a watermelon being tossed
off the site or a pumpkin off the side of
(06:20):
a building. My god. But the most likely scenario, after
some snooping around the dark web, is that Justin Jefferson
likely doing some double dipping. If you will here Is
it true. Is it true that Justin Jefferson, Viking wide
receiver was bringing dino nuggets with him to New Jersey,
(06:43):
not the feed the New York Jets coaching staff. No,
maybe it was uncrustables, maybe that was it. But is
there baby mama drama in Essex County, New Jersey? In
that area developing hot dot dot dot appears that he
has a child, which, according to the Internet, is of
(07:05):
some dispute. But the child there lives in New Jersey
with the baby mama, and so it is conceivable that
he was just visiting the kid or had some other
reason related to that to be there. Also, the Vikings
owner has a house in northern New Jersey, so as
(07:26):
possible they were maybe getting together to have a cup
of tea before they agreed to the big contract. Now
it turns out page two here that Justin Jefferson is
not not the only pass catcher who is creating clickbait.
Pig skin clickbait. Cowboy's wide receiver Ceed Lamb. We talked
(07:46):
about this in a previous episode of the show and
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver t Higgins both going to Miss OTA's.
So what is your reaction to that. So this is
like a Warner Brothers cartoon. This part of missing OTAs.
It's Tom and Jerry. It's the cat and mouse game.
(08:08):
This is what you're supposed to do. You're sending a message.
I do the same thing. By the way, when my
contract's up at Fox Sports Radio, I skip some production meetings.
That's what I do to get back at the man.
I don't want the man to hold me down. Power
to the people, So I don't show up to the
production meetings. That's how I get back at them. That's
our OTAs and radio production meetings. So in football, they
(08:29):
skip the OTAs. That's what they do. I'm not going
to show up. No no, no, no, no, I'm not
showing up. What are you gonna do? And they do nothing. Now, Higgins,
that's an interesting one because Cincinnati has a player better
than him in Jamar Chase, and he had requested a
trade from the Bengals after he got the treaded franchise tag.
(08:50):
Maybe we all get the franchise tag talking about first
world problems. Now, Lamb, see the lamb not an actual lamb.
He's a human being and he is set to enter
the final year the dreaded fifth year option and the Cowboys.
I don't know if you've paid attention, but no one's
getting paid, not Ceedee Lamb, not Michael Parsons, not Dak Prescott.
(09:11):
Jerry Jones for the moment, is sitting on a pile
of money.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I'm convinced that Jerry's gonna fold. That we're gonna do
a bunch of stories right before training camp that the
Cowboys paid this guy, that guy, everyone got paid, the quarterback,
the stat Bandito's gonna get paid, and Ceedee Lamb's gonna
get paid. Jerry Jones will cave in. He's just kind
of waiting, making these guys sweat a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I hope I'm wrong. I have no skin in the game,
but we better for the Cowboys if Jerry actually said, Okay,
go ahead and prove it. I don't care about your
stats during the regular season, go out there and do
well in the playoffs. Don't vanish in the playoffs. Playoffs.
Ceedee Lamb, though, and Higgins both waiting to see what Jefferson. Guess.
They want to see what Justin Jefferson gets. Right now,
(09:56):
the pace car is being driven by am Ross Saint
Brown of the Lions and a J. Brown of the Eagles.
Brown and Brown? What can brown do for you?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
All?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Last thing here we head to Viva Las Vegas. A
developing story. Now we've touched on this a little bit,
but I wanted to go a little deeper into the
weeds regarding the story involving Tom Brady as he is
still efforting to get a chunk of the writers he
wants to own part of the Raiders. Who doesn't while
broadcasting the NFL on Fox. Now it turns out that
(10:33):
this has been delayed, that the thing was already delayed,
the agreement. Now it's being delayed more. They're pushing it back,
push it back, push it back. Now they're pushing it back.
So tom Brady's Raider ownership is being opposed by rival owners.
They're like, wait a minute, no, we don't want this.
(10:54):
They do not want Tom Brady to be an equity
partner in the Las Vegas football team while broadcasting NFL games.
So that is the backdrop. Tom Brady's Raider ownership in
limbo because of some angry aristocrats who are opposed to
(11:15):
this setup. What do you think of all this? So
I had a little time to process it. This is
like the Black Sabbath Ozzy Osbourne tune paranoid. There's a
lot of paranoia going on, and these guys are very wealthy,
but they're also very paranoid. This is their toy. Rich
people buy NFL teams to show off to other people.
It's their pride and joy. And so you look at this.
(11:37):
The main reason that there is ANNGST, the main reason
there is discussed, and it actually makes some sense. When
I first saw this, all this is lame, who cares?
But then it made sense, right, because what do NFL
broadcasters do? What does Tony Romo do, Troy Aikman, all
(11:57):
these guys on the Saturday prior to the Sunday broadcast,
they go into a hotel boardroom and play grab ass.
The broadcasters tell jokes, They they trade secrets with the coach,
(12:18):
the star quarterback, and usually there's a couple of people
in these production meetings and they don't last all that long.
But you as a broadcaster going into a game, you
are told exactly. Let's say you're doing a game between
the Houston Texans and the Atlanta Falcons. You have a
production meeting and the coach will say, oh, here's what
(12:40):
we're gonna try to do. Early in the game. We're
gonna come out and try to attack them on the ground.
You know, in the second half, they'll go over their
game plan. So the owners, the paranoia, the finger biting
paranoia of NFL owners. They're worried that the coaches and
the star quarterbacks and go into a production meeting and
spill the tea to Tom Brady. They're gonna unlock the playbook,
(13:02):
the book of secrets, the battle plan, and some of
these owners are convinced that tom Brady's gonna be a
double agent in all of this. And if he does
a Raiders game, Let's say it's a Raiders Chiefs game
and Andy Reid tells tom Brady all the secrets of
the Chiefs game plan that tom Brady's gonna then run
(13:23):
off to Antonio Pears. Here's what they're gonna do. Here's
what you had to stop him. So they're looking to
make him pick a side. Now, there is an alternative
theory that I came up with on why Tom Brady
is dragging this out as well, because it would have
been very easy if you hear Brady to say I
got enough money. I don't need this. I just made
another twenty five million from that Tom Brady roast, so
(13:46):
I don't need any more money. Now. I'm good. He
didn't do that though. So my theory on this, and
I'm actually facilitating to take right now, but my theory
is that Tom Brady is keeping the Raider ownership in
his back pocket. Should he go out there and puke
all over the Fox camera and microphone and be terrible
(14:08):
at television and stink at a time you cannot stink,
this is his backup plan. He's very calculated. He's got
a backup plan. And let's say Brady's terrible, he resigns
early in the season or mid season, and then goes
back to buy the chunk of the Raiders, gets the Raiders,
and then Greg Olsen, who's sitting in the wings, comes
(14:29):
back and is the number one broadcaster, replacing Brady, and
so Brady's like, well, I really thought I wanted to
be a broadcast, but my heart's in owning the Raiders,
so that's what I want to do. So he's got
it out. Brady's got it out. Now if he's terrible
as a broadcaster, he's got it out. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part, speakeasy
rules are in effect. Good news, the computer after three

Speaker 1 (16:36):
We are rolling on coming up later this hour. If
you're still with us, we will have cite the bite.
The great sports radio mystery. We began with a grab
bag from around the wacky world of the NFL. I
didn't want to mention since I love looking at the
gambling numbers the NBA game tonight in Boston. Where's the
(16:58):
money at on that? The Celtics a sizeable In fact,
one of the gambling houses said the Celtics the biggest
favorite in the Conference finals since you gonna go back
to the Jordan Bulls back in the day. But game one,
Game one is tonight just after eight o'clock in the East,
and the Celtics opened up a ten point favorite in
(17:21):
that game, and they are still a ten point favorite.
The amount of money. The wise guys all think the
Celtics are gonna win going away, and they're going to
win this game by a kazillion gazillion points at least
more than the ten. So that's where they are on that. However,
what about the public. The public's more split. It's almost
(17:45):
fifty to fifty the money. So that's how they like
it the gambling houses. But the Celtics slight edge with
the public, but it's pretty close. But the wise guys,
there's a difference. There's a difference between the sharps, the
pros and the wise guys. Let's go to the phones,
Jerome in charge else and bring it home Jerome.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Then then then you know, I need to tell you something.

I didn't think that was fun, but so I got
to clean. I didn't think that was fun. Fun. Fact,
I'm shocked.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
You didn't give me not knowing these guys in fun.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Now I'm sucking up to you. Do you know who
Evan Bouchard is?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, yes, yes, I do. Edmundson Oilers defense.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yes. Evan Bouchard of the Oilers has twenty points That
is the most in NHL history by a defenseman through
the first two rounds of a single postseason. He's the
greatest offensive defenseman in the history of your sport hockey,
and I had to give that to you, Eddie. I
had to give that fun fact. Evan Bouchard greatest offensive
(26:51):
defenseman two rounds.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
He's not really looked at as much of the offensive defense.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Not twenty points, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I know. I mean, just don't lie. He's got
a big shot.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Stats do lie, actually, well sometimes, but they lie all
the time.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Yeah, he's scores on the power play life, I got
a big, booming slapshot. But he's not. He doesn't have
any good, really good moves. He can't like skip the
puck in on that or anything.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is not. Now.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
One of the reasons that Eddie spat a loogie at
my Edmonton Oilers is because the goaltending, right, you didn't
think they have good enough goal tending. But no, I
don't think my guy Skinny Stewart's skinny or skinner.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah, he didn't play the whole series.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
He got benched, well, he got benched, but he came
back the last two games, Game six and seven. Yeah,
it's true, goals against average one point five, all save
percentage over ninety percent. So yeah, what have you done
for him lately last couple of games?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, well mostly what he does against Dallas.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'll make a bet. What do you want to do.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'm not bad. I'll never bet with you again because
you never here.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You're a phrase. You know you don't lose. You don't
believe in the Dallas Star. I don't believe in you
Edmonton Oilers.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
No point in making a bet.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You're going to bring me to Edmonton when the Oilers
win the Stanley Cup, Eddie this year. Seriously, they're gonna fly.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Me in there.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, I'll be part of the parade. I'll be on
a horse during the paray. It'll be amazing. I gotta
get this Harball story. By the way, there's a couple
of Harball stories that I have. Your boy. Jim Harball, though,
the head coach of the La Chargers of Inglewood, Jim
Harball at OTAs, has decided we are getting We're no
(28:18):
more mister nice guy. We're getting down to business. We're
getting down to business. He got rid of the music.
No more music. Oh mg, there was no music in
every other Charger practice. Media said without Jim Harball, they
(28:39):
played a lot of music, a lot of music school.
Jim Harball getting out of business, banning the music. Eddie
do they have to play the because we have to
pay money when we pay music. That's when we play
music on the show to the music labels. We have
to pay money to do. The Chargers have to pay
money these NFLT I guess not anymore because they got
(29:01):
rid of the music. And also a source who may
or may not be the Great Baltimore Sports with Coleman
reporter tells me that the Harball family, Jim will not
be there because he has OTAs, But the Harbaugh coaching
Academy is going on today. I have no idea what
that is, but the Harbaugh coaching Academy, and this will
(29:24):
make national news today, I am told because a certain
curmudgeon coach who got a TV job with Peyton Manning
is going to be there. Bill Belichick is supposed to
be part of that event today. And I'm told, as
I understand it, the Harbaugh brothers are expanding their brand.
(29:47):
They're expanding their brand. So see what that's all exciting?
I should do that to it? I should? I should
expand my brand?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
How came I? How can Ben Mallard broadcasting the academy?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Oh man, who wouldn't sign up for that? To learn
broadcast as for me, Oh my god, that would.
Speaker 5 (30:02):

Gonna get it right? That's happened once in the history
of playing this game.

what's the answer? Erin the Nick goes.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Let's say Jalen Brunt is that.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
No, that is not. Apparently not Jaalen loves hitting that trigger. Yeah,
she's very quick on the trigger. Yeah. You don't want
to get into a gunfight with the rainer. She'll pull
the trigger right away. You're dad, no negotiations. All right,
thank you, Aaron. It is not Jalen Brunson. Played again,
played again. It sucks. Yeah, so Eddie not giving me
(35:19):
the proper scores. That is all right. Let's say hello

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Is that Michael Malone who's mom competing in the nineteen
ninety two Summer Olympics. No, that is incorrect. All right,
I love them. This is one of the great things
I've learned from doing this job. When people are locked
in on an answer, even if they know what's wrong,
they don't change it. It's fascinating. We're all wired the
(36:42):
same way. It's it just blows me away, all right,
