Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumberfore we're gonna go down memory lane on
the Ben Malor Show that we recorded the show last
night and we just do it overnight so you get
a fresh podcast in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But here in hour number four, Baker Mayfield has confirmed
that he knew the Viking defensive signals in the second half.
He doesn't think it's cheating. Is it cheating? Do you
agree or disagree with Baker Mayfield? Also, how do you
process Chris Jones, the Kansas City Star defensive player, saying
(00:37):
that he's quote super pleased with the Chiefs deal even
though he didn't get the deal that he wanted. And
parse the words of the latest from Jannis Adent to
Koombo's decree about his NBA future and his likely hustling
away from the state of Wisconsin the Bucks don't meet
(01:01):
his requirements. We'll talk about all of those storylines and
much more right now here it does our four have
a wonderful, glorious Thursday. Here is our number four. All right,
we are one week, one week into the NFL season
and already accusations of funny business in the NFL. What
(01:25):
is that all about? Welcome and the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We've been here all
night and we'll keep it going. We're in the air everywhere, confidants,
as we dabble in the private language of Sporty Coast,
sut Cooast, border to border and beyond on the vast
(01:47):
and unforgettably powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from
the wash, the eyewash of athletic chatter. We are broadcasting
live from the tyrack dot studios. Tyraq dot com will

(02:11):
Tyre raq dot com, the way tire buying, Shuite and
our lead this hour coming from Tampa, formerly known as Tampa,
but now it's back to Tampa because that guy retired.
That old guy. So the Buccaneers upset the Vikings. It's
not a high profile game, it's not a national game.
It didn't get too much attention. The Buccaneers won the game.
(02:33):
It was a competitive game. The Vikings put up a
lot of yards, but they did not get to win
in their home stadium in the season over, So we
now may know why that game ended the way it did.
Interesting story. I don't if you saw this or not.
It's an interesting one and maybe you missed it. So
we learned that the Buccaneers Baker Mayfield, their quarterback, supposedly
(02:58):
figured out the code. He solved the code of the
Minnesota defense. Now how do we know this, Well, somebody's
spilling the beans. Rashad White, running back for Tampa, we
are told, went on one of the Buccaneer radio programs
and said that Mayfield got all the signals from the
(03:21):
Vikings that in the second half of the game in Minnesota,
the Buccaneer offensive players knew what the Vikings were doing
whether they're playing Cover two or Cover three based on handsigns. Now,
Mayfield does not consider his actions to be an act
of cheating. We actually have some audio here, a little
(03:42):
taste of what Baker Mayfield had to say. So let's
go to the audio tape. I know I'm in Tampa,
but I'm a Texas Rangers fan, not a Houston Astros fan,
So we're not going to condone that. Yeah, so he
was kidding around. It is, you know, not cheating. That
was the implication obviously. So I would like to go
down that hole with you and you can join me
in a minute. But here's the question. Baker Mayfield essentially
(04:06):
confirming that he knew the Vikings defensive signals in his
little interview, but he doesn't think it's cheating. Do you
agree or disagree with Baker Mayfield? So the arrow on
this one is pointed towards agreement. I am drinking the
kool aid, I've got the creamsicle. I'm good to go here.
(04:27):
I'm in lockstep with Baker Mayfield. I am on this one.
So I've got breakfast table, doctorate, and gypsy king, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make scrambled eggs is what we're going to make.
So to kick off here, Baker Mayfield is correct in
our analysis of what happened. But as we understand now,
(04:49):
if new information comes out, we will of course revisit this.
But the way I look at it, it's completely kosher. Right.
This is part of the sport as long as it
not done with big tech. And that's the part certain
people who live in a certain city in Texas don't
seem to understand. Assuming the Buccaneers did not use I
(05:10):
don't know trash cans and buzzers and whistles. Hey up,
check him Fred the buzzer right, assuming they didn't donew
that none of that astro bull crap from twenty seventeen.
The story here is on the Minnesota side of things.
That's the better story. That's the losing locker room. This
(05:32):
is an absolute referendum on Brian Flores, the new defensive
genius of the Minnesota football team, and the head coach,
Kevin O'Connell. The defensive coordinator and the head coach. They
have sam explaining to do. Baker Mayfield was sitting at
the breakfast table right, and he was able to unscramble
(05:56):
those scrambled eggs that we just talked about. He unscrambled
the code of the Vikings. Apparently. Now that said, it
was not the reason that the Minnesota Vikings lost that game.
I would argue that Kirk Cousins blowing three Viking drives
and having three turnovers was a bigger factor in the
(06:19):
arithmetic on the outcome of that game. So that would
be the point that I would make. But if you
go back and you look at the numbers of that
Minnesota Tampa Bay game, and you say, well, the Buccaneers
won the game twenty to seventeen, so it wasn't a
high scoring game. It was a standard low scoring situation.
(06:40):
But at halftime of that game, it was a ten
to ten game. So it's not like the Vikings in
the first half when the Bucks did not know the signs.
It's not like there was this big chasm between the teams.
But if you look at the statuet and you look
at the numbers, the Vikings had over one hundred more
year yards of offense than the Buccaneers. But then you
(07:03):
have to break the game down. The Buccaneers only had
two hundred and forty two yards of offense against the Vikes,
which doesn't seem like that much considering the Baker Mayfield.
Those guys are bragging and pumping their chest out about
how they knew the plays, but at halftime they only
had ninety five yards, right, which is it's kind of
it's kind of. It wasn't like it was much better
(07:24):
in the second half, but the turnovers was a bigger deal,
all right. Furthermore, in Kansas City, the Chiefs, they got
the band back together. Chris Jones keeping up with the joneses,
he ended his holdout and he's back in Travis Kelce.
Now he's got his new lady friend there, certain singer
he's he's supposed to be back, and Chris Jones is
(07:46):
out practicing with the team after his holdout got a
new contract. Jones said to the assembled media in Kansas
City that he is quote super pleased close quote with
how things turned out after signing his new one year deal,
which is worth up to twenty five million smack a
(08:07):
ruse now. Jones added that things never got personal with
the Chiefs during the contract stalemate. So how do you
process Chris Jones saying that he's super pleased with his
chief's deal in the immortal words, I'll go first, in
the immortal words of Ron Burgundy from Anchorman, I don't
(08:29):
believe you, right, I don't believe you? Like, what do
you think? This is amateur hour? Chris Jones. I know
he's got to say this stuff. He's trying to put
a happy face on the situation. But he has earned
his doctorate in spin spin, spin, spin spin. It's like
old disc jockey's spinning records. Jones cost himself almost four
(08:52):
million dollars money that he will never get back. I
know he's making a lot of money, but that's money
he'll never get to touch. And his deal, from what
I've been told, is incentive based, meaning that if he
underperforms or gets a flat tire, has an Aaron Rodgers
pop goes the Achilles, he's toast. He's not gonna make
that extra money. So Chris Jones was the big loser
(09:13):
in this chapter of the book. Now he could be
the big winner in the next contract, but he eats
the l on this one parting shot. We're gonna change sports.
I We're gonna leave the NFL world. We head to Milwaukee,
We head to Wisconsin. An NBA headliner is again chatting
about relocate. Giannis Adenta. Cumbo is his name, pro bouncy
(09:38):
ball is his game now. He spoke on a recent
podcast about plans going forward. He said, I'm a Milwaukee Buck,
but most importantly, I'm a winner, he stated. He went
on to say, if there is a better situation for
me to win the Larry O'Brien, I have to take
that better situation close, all right. So parsing the words
(10:02):
on the latest Yannis decree about his future, how do
you see it, so on this one, we're gonna read
the tea leaves here, and I am a distant relative
of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas who got his prediction
on the Seahawk game terribly wrong. This is a straightforward
ABC one two three situation. Every indicator, every clue, every
(10:28):
one of them says, Yannis has one foot out the door.
His bags are packed. He is going to say da
da da da da da la da, Hey, hey, good
bye to the box. All right, he's out of there.
He's dropped multiple hints about leaving open your ears, open
(10:51):
your eyes. And here's the problem. There will always be
a better situation than the bus. Even when the Box won,
there were better situations than playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
There were more talented rosters, they just didn't win. And remember,
it's not the most talented team that always wins alone.
Basketball usually is. But typically there are teams that have
(11:14):
their season defined by injuries. Right, people fall apart and
it's the battle of attrition. That's why everyone's practicing the
evil Devil's art of load management. But the Greek freak,
when he's dreaming and there's that cartoon bubble over his head.
He's dreaming of being the Gypsy King, Basketball's gypsy kick.
(11:35):
He already won a title with the Bucks, so he's
proven it can be done. He did it the hard away,
and now he wants to travel down Easy Street. That's
the takeaway for me that Giannis is telling you he
wants to leave number one number two. He just wants
to be like all these other guys, the other players
in the NBA have rubbed off on. He wants to
do what everyone else does. Go to the Lakers, go
(11:57):
to the Heat, do that with the Golden State War.
But this is the same guy. I love this quote.
Now I'm a winner. I'm a winner. Of course, he's
the same guy that said there's no failure in sports.
So everyone everyone is a winner. You're a winner. You're
a winner, You're a winner. Everyone's a winner. Oh I'm
so excit. Everyone wins, everyone wins. It is the Ben

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Big Panda Rights in not to be confused with Little
Panda Big pan Different parts on Known says excellent monologue.
Baker Mayfield saw through that milk toast Minnesota defense like
I did. Chris Jones is an idiot, and Yannis is
on his way to being acquired by the People's team
in exchange for a bacon rap hot dog. I'll take
that as long as Jannis does not practice the art
(14:32):
of load management every other game, because if that's gonna
be the case, just let him go somewhere else. I
don't need that. I waited my entire life for the
Clippers to get Kawhi Leonard, to watch him sit on
his ass and not want to play it's ridiculous. A
late night drug tester writes in says, the Vikings played
with fire last year but got lucky in close games.
Speaking of luck, does the Petty like Minnesota or the
(14:54):
Eagles tonight? Well, I'm glad you brought that up now,
as you know, I have a TV show now, I
haven't really mentioned that and hoard myself out to promote
the TV show at all, but it is called Benny
Versus the Penny to be on. We're actually taping it
later today, so I have a long day today. I
got a long day. I gotta go do the TV
thing days, which I'm excited about because I never thought
I'd be able to say that again. But anyway, as
far as the pick, we don't pick the Thursday night
(15:16):
game on Benny Versus Penny, but I will give you
my pick. I do like the Minnesota Vikings tonight. I
watched the Eagle Patriot game, a good chunk of it,
and the Eagles. I know the Patriots have a good defense,
I get that, but the Eagles looked totally in that.
It was the first game and all that, but there
were issues on both sides of the ball. They allowed
Mac Jones and the Patriots to matriculate the ball around
(15:38):
the field much better than I expected the Patriot passing
game to go. So that's number one. So Cousins will
have some opportunities. Now, the problem with Cousins, and I've
lost a ton of times with Cousins in primetime games gambling.
The problem with Cousins is he's got those brain farts,
two or three of them, and sometimes they turned into
pick sixes. Sometimes they turn into nothing. But that's the issue.
But getting six points, I think the line is it's
(16:01):
Philadelphia favored by six and Jalen Hurts was great last
year at homely. Of course they got to the super Bowl,
but I'm not I'm not feeling it right now. I
got see some dominance by the Eagles. The Vikings are
an average team. They're not a great team. They played
better than they should have last year. They're obviously gonna
be worse this year. But they can hang around. You
(16:22):
can be a close game. These Thursday games, though, are
such a pain in the ass because we've seen last
year Al Michaels the complaints about guess certain teams just
don't show up on Thursday night, and it's like they
have the he b GPI's let's go to Speaking of
showing up, this woman always shows up and she's got
all the star charts out and everything you want to know,
(16:43):
numbers based on where the planets are lined up. We
say hello to Andrea, these sports sorcerers. She's hanging out
in Berkeley right now. She's got all the dirt. Hello Andrea. Hello.
If I was any better, I'd be a Buffalo bill.
But not Josh Allen because they lost to the Jets
and Zach Wilson. That's embarrassing, but you didn't call about that.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, just more Aaron Rodgers' news, which is interesting, the
post that he shared on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, he sounded he sounded like a superhero from like
a good like a superhero movie from like the nineteen
eighties or nineties. That's what he sounded like to me.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Right, Well, he does have his moon in scorpio. So
that whole thing about how he'll rise again like a
phoenix from the ashes, I think that's you know, keeping in.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah thirty with the exact quote Andrea was the night
is darkest before the dawn, and I shall rise yet again, right.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
But yeah, you know, and I believe that you know,
he's an optimistic Sagittarius, and you know he's very visionary
and positive, and it's got that idealistic energy about him
and very hopeful and you know, adventurous. But you know
what's really interesting when that you a transit hits. I mean,
(18:01):
wherever you go, there you are, you still have your transits.
That's December January. So I'm thinking, you know, when you
have that positive Jupiter transit, you got that wonderful TV show,
I'm thinking a lot of opportunities are going to happen
for him. And you know, if he wants to go
back to football, so be it. But I think because
he's so interested in so many other things, you know,
(18:22):
the Darkness Retreats, the Alasca journeys, his travels, that he's
going to keep his options open. Even though he's going
to say, you know, he might want to get back
into football, he doesn't want to go out that way.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah. No, we talked about the other night Andrew, and
I agree. I mean, right now the stories is going
to come back, but there's a lot of time between
now which the NFL season, and there will be stories.
I will guarantee you I will bet one dollar which
is all I have in my bank account. I will
bet one dollar that we see a story that people
around Aaron Rodgers think he might not come back. You know,
there's a setback on the reab, or he's falling in
(18:57):
love with some kind of new new thing. You can
smoke that Joe Rogan told them about that you have
to go to some jungle far away to find and
he'd be like, you know, so those stories are going
to come. Whether they're true or not, you know, that's
up for debate, but they will be out there, right.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I mean that exploring, adventurous, wandering soul that he has.
I don't think he's going to just stick to one
thing if something more interesting comes up. You know, he's
very open minded in visionary, so I wouldn't be surprised
if he decided to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, no, no, for sure, for sure. All right, Well, Andrew,
thank you and Virgo in service and very nice. Thank
you for that. Rgo tomorrow, Oh new moon tomorrow, new
moon and Virgo.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Tomorrow retrograde September fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, let weed man hippie know in Miami there, all right,
thank you, there she goes our friend Andrew appreciate that
tie rights, and he says, I think stealing signs is
great if it's the athletes and coaches figuring it out
live on the field. It's just clever business. With random staffers.
We don't know about watching and banging trash cans as
(20:05):
cheating exact baseball in particular baseball teams. They don't do
it anymore because they've got nerds running the teams. With
the baseball teams. When I started, like I was an
obviously a fan, but I started as like nineteen as
a kid covering baseball, and the Angels had a guy
named Jimmy Reese, still one of the nicest people. Everyone
loved Jimmy Reese. Jimmy Reese was a room His claim
(20:26):
to fame was he's He was a roommate of Babe Ruth.
I can't believe, looking back now because so much time
has passed that I kind of like talk to a
guy whose room he was roommates with. Baby. That blows
me away thinking about it now. In regism, But anyway,
Jimmy Reese was on the team because he was a
master as a coach, because he could steal signs, he
was able to decode because he'd been in baseball since
(20:49):
like the nineteen twenties or some crap like that, and
he was able to decode signs, so they kept him around.
They gave him a uniform and like his eighties, he's
out there running around in a uniform and a lot
of teams had old, old coaches that could decode signs. Arikan,
Minnesota says, I agree as well, not cheating. I will
say if he actually Baker Mayfield actually did know all
(21:10):
the signals, he and the Bucks are a horrible offensive team.
They scored all of ten second half points and the
touchdown was given to them on a horrendous offside penalty
on Jay Ward. Yeah it was I agree. I agree.
I think the level of signs steelage that they had
was embellished. How about that. Let's go to a fellow Ben.
(21:32):
It's Ben and Ben in the morning in Maine. Hello, Ben,
Welcome Who Ben, Ben? Ben Man?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Who?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
I am just so sick and tired of these Buffalo
bill fans. Give him a little bit of a success
and they're acting like they've won six Yes, I'm a
Patriots fan. I'm biased. We own them for two decades.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
The man, the pissed off, but uh BacT like Josh
Allen is Tom Brady and Diggs's Moss. This is ridiculous.
This guy Tim last night they called up the comic
book guy this morning.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
What's up with this?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
I'm sick of it. I walked into the belly of
the beast that playoff game. Mac Jones went in there
and we got our butts kicked. And those people are
they're animals. They're animals. It's ridiculous how they act. Seriously,
it was like burn entire fires. We even walk in there.
The state police cust us out. What do you guys
do when he's three of us? We drove from Maine.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Now, Ben, were you fully decked out in your Patriot gear?
Did you have your full represent Dude?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Come on, you get me scared? You gotta represent?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, I got you. Well you're a tough guy, right,
you were able to handle it.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Tough guys just to get out of you know, we
got the tickets for cheap. You know, it's like, let's go.
We drove the buffalo from Maine and then we drove
all the way back and obviously I think if the
game was closer, know that Patriots had won, we would
have got our butts kicked. But it was a pretty
brutal scene. It's just these guys. I know they haven't
been there before, but they should probably be before, even
though they didn't want anything yet. So I'm just tired
(23:03):
of it, you know what i mean. So let's keep
the guy.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The guy yesterday was insane, right, he had. He was
making every excuse you could possibly make for Josh Allen.
It was. It was ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing I've
ever heard.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
But anyway, I'm the biggest Tom Brady fan boy or whatever.
An apologies, but even so, like, just just give it
a break. Let's let's see what you can do.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
You lose it to the Jets, so uh yeah, you
know exactly, be careful too. You got the Raiders. That
should be an easy win. The Bills are a big favorite,
but watch out, watch out Josh Allen. It look good.
He looked those shape. If you lose to Zach Wilson,
you could lose to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
For sure, absolutely absolutely all right.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You worry about your Patriots though they got the Dolphins
on Sunday nights, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
That's gonna be tough. We'll see. I mean, yeah, Mac
looked okay, but uh, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Advice is to run the ball. And I know Mac
look good. But the Dolphins did not stop. The Chargers
ran it right down their throat. That's how they It
wasn't even justin Herbert. The Chargers scored thirty four points.
It was mostly the Aweso Eckler in the running game
the other running his name. But I thank you, Mat,
all right, I appreciate it, all right, go ahead.

Blake Snelling, I know I saw you the other night.
I was out there and I saw Scott Boris and
three of the guys that work for Scott Morris just
massaging Blake Snell before that start. This is the next
meal ticket for Scott Boris because Blake Snell, Uh, bro,
I'm risking my laughe As you said, Eddie is going
to be a free agent and he is going to
(25:05):
cash in and then some team like the Red Sox
or the Mets or the Yankees is going to have
buyer's remorse right after the contract signs because he'll go
He'll go back to being a turd, is what He's
going to go back to being. That's my my hot take.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Any tweet that out. Coop Ben Maler says, Blake Snell
will be going back to be a turd.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
On the Fox Sports radio account. Make sure you put
that in. He blocked me on Twitter, but he will
have to unblock me when Elon Musk doesn't allow anyone
to be blocked when they do that, and I will
be unblocked. And how exciting will that be a listener asked,
does Iowa Sam have any nicknames? Yes, he has one nickname.
It's not just Iowa Sam. He's got the air I
(25:44):
think we called him the air frar liar. Yeah, see
the nickna you only have one. Eddie's got a lot,
like I have the most. I don't even use my
nicknames a lot because I've got so many of them.
I've been called the Spinmaster misinformation, the bannering broadcaster. People
have said, hey, you're the Beethoven of bs, the Curmudgeon
(26:04):
of commentary, the Chasm of sarcasm, the Tzar of Zandy,
the dark Knight of weak night sports radio, Mogul of mischief,
Benny the Brazen, the King of Zing, Moneyball Maller, Benny
the Bopper, the Facetious Fox, the Sultan of Insultant, the
Shaman of Schotenfreud, and the jumping jack of wisecrack inside

Sage of Outrage, the Pinnacle of cynical, Prince of preposters,
Professor of propaganda, Hazar Hyperbole, and the mad Hatter of
sports chatter. And that's only half of my nicknames. But right,
now better hold on. You want the rest, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
No, no, no, I don't. But uh do you remember
Jim Daniels. Who's the work here?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, Jim Day working.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Jim da is on the NFL network right now.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
No way is that right? Yes?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
What is he doing on the endstuing some kind of
a fantasy football thing?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
No way is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
He looks boy, he looks totally different last time it has.
He's got long gray hair and it's all rockered out.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Look at that side radio my mind, that's a little
side ready. But no, Jim Daniels. In fact, I have
a great Jim Daniel story. Me and we were I
bet you did. We were on the air on a
Sunday night when we got shot at in the in
that in the old studio and I was on the
air with Jim that night and we told the window
got shot out. We think we know who did it,
(27:27):
but I never caught the person that did it. We
have a pretty good idea who did it. But anyway,
remember telling my what Yeah, yeah, they know who did it. Well,
we have a pretty good idea, you know, Colonel Mustard
the Revolver. But anyway, Jerry was my producer with Jim
that night, and we yeah, we told Jerry said, we
(27:47):
want to call the cops. Somebody just shot at the studio.
And Jerry said, I don't worry about it, bro, And
then he raised he lowered all the blinds, so at
least next time, if they drove by again, they wouldn't
see where they were shooting. That was good job, Jerry. Yeah, solid.
Why he's driving a truck somewhere. Kim's still doing stuff.
That's good.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah, it's uh, he's apparently out on the koos. It
says on the graphic. I'll send you a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
All right, yeah, take a shot. I don't have the
NFL network up here in the studio. I mean, all right,
let's get you cut him on all the hockey right now.
It's pucked. No World hockey season is starting before, you.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Know, less than a month away. Here is and he bars, well, Ben,
I don't know if you saw this, but an interesting story.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
And and I'm gonna warn io Sam, is he do
you leave his post?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, he's eating corn right now.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was gonna say, I might have to be dumped,
uh for this story, but uh, whatever happens here, I
guess uh, the Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Mike Babcock
and captain Boone Jenner are denying allegations that Babcock acted
inappropriately and violated players privacy when asking to see photos
on their cell phones. Former NHL player Paul Bisonett, who's
(28:54):
now an analyst for TNT, said on his Spit and
chick Lits podcast Jenner was asked to meet earlier this
summer with Babcock, who asked to see images on Jenner's
phone before displaying them via airplay on his office wall.
He also accused the coach of looking for Dick and
Dayton picks. Babcock said in his statement, while meeting with players,
(29:14):
I asked them to share off their phones family photos
as part of a process of getting to know them better.
There was absolutely nothing more to it than that it
was a way of portray the way it was portrayed
on the Spit and Chickless podcast with a gross misrepresentation
that those meetings and was extremely offensive the player Boone
Jenner also released his own statement via the team saying
pretty much backing up the coach. Bisonette is standing by
(29:36):
his comments that Babcock was out of line. Saying on
social media he confirmed the story with another member of
the team and that it was bizarre behavior from a
guy that has quote done it before and gotten canned
for stuff exactly like this end quote. Bessinette also claims
that he is defending players from mistreatment, saying on Twitter,
We're a player's podcast. You want to f with the players,
(29:56):
We're going to bend you over no lube in paper finish.
He also called Babcock's statement bull crap, but he said
something else. Babcock's conduct has come under his scrutiny in
the past. When he's coaching in Toronto, had an inflamous
incident with rookie Mitch Martin asked him in private to
rank his teammate's work ethic and then revealed the ranking
(30:16):
to his team.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
All Right, a couple of fuss, Yes, this guy, if
it's true, Is he like a voyeur? Is that what
he's like? He just is that's his thing. He wants
to look at the photos. That's his deal. Is that
what it is? Or is like, would you give somebody
your phone to look at your photos?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Eddie? I would probably feel I mean, I'd be fine
with it, I guess. But it is a little bit
of a I don't know if it's an invasion of privacy, but.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Go way back, you go back.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
It's an awkward position I think to be end to
ask to but it can also be innocent as well.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't know. I don't has it innocent.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He's he's meeting players for the first time. He wants
to get to know them, and so he asked, what
can you say?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh, why do you send me a couple of photos
from your life?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (30:59):
But not I have no analogy of anything.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I don't know. Maybe he didn't do it. Who knows.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, although you know, if you're a young hockey player,
I'm guessing on your phone you might have some uh
interesting things on.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Those puck bunnies Eddie, yeah something. Whatever happens with the
puck bunny stays with the puck buddy, I guess. So
sometimes there's photos and you know when you want to
to have it that you want to keep it around
interest in case memories.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It would be interesting to see if TNT has any
issue with some of Bisonett's graphic comments in this little
little incident here, Autawa Centaers lock up their young defense
when Jake Sanderson. They game an eight year, sixty four
point contract eight point five million a year. This is
after one season in the NHL. He's twenty one years old,
four goals, twenty seven games. Yeah, that's it's quite the
(31:46):
vote of confidence. One season it was pretty good. Here's
eight years, all right. Former NHLNVP goalie Carry Price says
he's come to terms this playing days being over. Says
his knees cannot take the stress of being a goalie anymore.
He's still under contract for three more seasons with the
Canadians at ten point five million. Former league MVP and
vez in the trophy winner as.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
A top goalie. If there's a miracle, da, yeah, I know.
If Ai can come up with new knees were him.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Good luck with that. Colora Avalanche captain Gabrie Alandi Scog
not going to play this entire regular season. He's coming
off a knee cartilage transplant surgery. Is going to be
the second straight season he's missed. They're keeping their fingers crossed.
Maybe he can return in the playoffs. Last time he
was on the ice helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.
He's under contract for six more years with the team,
(32:34):
nhlw Commission Bill Day announcing that the NHL is open
to the idea of returning to Atlanta. Now, Atlanta has
had two NHL franchisees before, the Atlanta Flames in seventy
two are excusing nineteen seventy to nineteen eighty, and then
they had the Atlanta Thrashers from nineteen ninety nine to
twenty eleven. So we'll see if third time is the
charm for Atlanta. Perhaps four RENHL players, Dustin Brown and
Jamie Langan Brunner going to the US Hockey Hall of Fame,
(32:57):
and finally Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Chellio set down
his number seven, retired by the Blackhawks. Retired from the
NHL in twenty Tens are playing twenty six seasons. Interesting
way he found out that this was gonna happen. Pearl
Jam was playing a concert at the United Center in Chicago,
and I guess Eddie Vedder is a friend of Chelios.
If you don't know, he's the lead singer at Pearl Jam.
He called Celios up on stage and then told him
(33:20):
and the crowd that he was going to have his
jersey retired and raised to the rafters there at the
stadium that they were they were play against. That's a
that's an interesting little note there. And that's your puck
the world reports.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
All right, I like to update all the affiliates.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
That I have played on here in the studio.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I have turned on the state sponsored NFL media to
show our old radio friend Fox Bush Radio alumni member
Jim Daniels. And he's got the flowing locks. Yeah, that
is quite Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I would never have recognized him, kind of like Rob Ryan,
you know a little bit, a little bit. Yeah, that
would you have recognized them if you saw the photo.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
If they not put the the chiron on screen. That
that's Jim Dan's you know, he goes by JD. Did
you know what they called it? The JD And I
didn't know that. Yeah, he's got a Lyle Alzado jersey
behind him, he's got he's got the guitar, a Spielman.
They got a nice collection of memorabilia, see some records. Man,
I haven't talked to him. And when's the last time
you talked to him.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
It's been a while, a long time.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
He probably over ten years, fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, he was on the air when we had that
fight between a producer and a former Remember that was
here and producer went on to have a big career. No,
it was not the producer, the on air guy.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, the air guy. Yeah remember that? Yeah? All right,
here is the Ben Mallor Show. As we continue on,
we are going to have a brief factor fiction. We'll

very popular game Factor ficient. We say hello to the
power couple, Jack, the Judge and Leslie. Hello, Leslie, Good morning, Leslie.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Good morning fan.
Speaker 1 (35:52):

We missed you, Tammy. It's been a while, uh long time.
I'm glad you're back. Hope life is treating you well, Tammy.
I hope everything good? Okay? Is it treating you well?
I don't hold on? Good good? And we have one
of your favorites, Tammy Felexus in Buffalo, Hello, Flexus.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Well you should thank me. I dragged Damny on a
grave that wasn't for me.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
She went and call to my iPad sounds like you're
in the grave. All right, Hold on a second, I'm kidding,
I kid because I care, all right, listen, that's Chris
Meyer's old line. Three stories. Figure out which of the
three is not true? Separating fiction from fact. Story number one,
Move over, you dancers. Adrian Peterson, former NFL running back,
has gotten a new gig. He was announced this week
(37:01):
that it was announced this week that Dancing with the
Stars will feature him. He'll be part of it. It'll
be a featured contestant on Dancing with a Star. Story
number two the Ultimate Crossover NBA All Star Weekend and
the Big Decisions made this season. There will be a
three point contest and a dunk contest comprised completely of
athletes from other sports. What could possibly go wrong? Who
(37:24):
came up with this idea? And Story number three, Well, sir,
scratch off, mister Arkansas, he might want to go to Alabama.
The Crimson Tide football team dined on a full alligator roast,
the entire alligator. They ate all of it. Those are
the three stories, which are the three is not true?
Separating fiction from fact. We start out with the power
couple Leslie one to or three Leslie one, all right,
(37:48):
Number one, what about you, Tammy and Montana.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
It's gotta be number two. That would be way too funny.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, and felexus one too, or three flexus number three. No,
it's number two. The basketball Tammy got it right. Number
two was the fake story. That is a fat jack.
That's right.
Hello, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumberfore we're gonna go down memory lane on
the Ben Malor Show that we recorded the show last
night and we just do it overnight so you get
a fresh podcast in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But here in hour number four, Baker Mayfield has confirmed
that he knew the Viking defensive signals in the second half.
He doesn't think it's cheating. Is it cheating? Do you
agree or disagree with Baker Mayfield? Also, how do you
process Chris Jones, the Kansas City Star defensive player, saying
(00:37):
that he's quote super pleased with the Chiefs deal even
though he didn't get the deal that he wanted. And
parse the words of the latest from Jannis Adent to
Koombo's decree about his NBA future and his likely hustling
away from the state of Wisconsin the Bucks don't meet
(01:01):
his requirements. We'll talk about all of those storylines and
much more right now here it does our four have
a wonderful, glorious Thursday. Here is our number four. All right,
we are one week, one week into the NFL season
and already accusations of funny business in the NFL. What
(01:25):
is that all about? Welcome and the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We've been here all
night and we'll keep it going. We're in the air everywhere, confidants,
as we dabble in the private language of Sporty Coast,
sut Cooast, border to border and beyond on the vast
(01:47):
and unforgettably powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from
the wash, the eyewash of athletic chatter. We are broadcasting
live from the tyrack dot studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(02:11):
Tyre raq dot com, the way tire buying, Shuite and
our lead this hour coming from Tampa, formerly known as Tampa,
but now it's back to Tampa because that guy retired.
That old guy. So the Buccaneers upset the Vikings. It's
not a high profile game, it's not a national game.
It didn't get too much attention. The Buccaneers won the game.
(02:33):
It was a competitive game. The Vikings put up a
lot of yards, but they did not get to win
in their home stadium in the season over, So we
now may know why that game ended the way it did.
Interesting story. I don't if you saw this or not.
It's an interesting one and maybe you missed it. So
we learned that the Buccaneers Baker Mayfield, their quarterback, supposedly
(02:58):
figured out the code. He solved the code of the
Minnesota defense. Now how do we know this, Well, somebody's
spilling the beans. Rashad White, running back for Tampa, we
are told, went on one of the Buccaneer radio programs
and said that Mayfield got all the signals from the
(03:21):
Vikings that in the second half of the game in Minnesota,
the Buccaneer offensive players knew what the Vikings were doing
whether they're playing Cover two or Cover three based on handsigns. Now,
Mayfield does not consider his actions to be an act
of cheating. We actually have some audio here, a little
(03:42):
taste of what Baker Mayfield had to say. So let's
go to the audio tape. I know I'm in Tampa,
but I'm a Texas Rangers fan, not a Houston Astros fan,
So we're not going to condone that. Yeah, so he
was kidding around. It is, you know, not cheating. That
was the implication obviously. So I would like to go
down that hole with you and you can join me
in a minute. But here's the question. Baker Mayfield essentially
(04:06):
confirming that he knew the Vikings defensive signals in his
little interview, but he doesn't think it's cheating. Do you
agree or disagree with Baker Mayfield? So the arrow on
this one is pointed towards agreement. I am drinking the
kool aid, I've got the creamsicle. I'm good to go here.
(04:27):
I'm in lockstep with Baker Mayfield. I am on this one.
So I've got breakfast table, doctorate, and gypsy king, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make scrambled eggs is what we're going to make.
So to kick off here, Baker Mayfield is correct in
our analysis of what happened. But as we understand now,
(04:49):
if new information comes out, we will of course revisit this.
But the way I look at it, it's completely kosher. Right.
This is part of the sport as long as it
not done with big tech. And that's the part certain
people who live in a certain city in Texas don't
seem to understand. Assuming the Buccaneers did not use I
(05:10):
don't know trash cans and buzzers and whistles. Hey up,
check him Fred the buzzer right, assuming they didn't donew
that none of that astro bull crap from twenty seventeen.
The story here is on the Minnesota side of things.
That's the better story. That's the losing locker room. This
(05:32):
is an absolute referendum on Brian Flores, the new defensive
genius of the Minnesota football team, and the head coach,
Kevin O'Connell. The defensive coordinator and the head coach. They
have sam explaining to do. Baker Mayfield was sitting at
the breakfast table right, and he was able to unscramble
(05:56):
those scrambled eggs that we just talked about. He unscrambled
the code of the Vikings. Apparently. Now that said, it
was not the reason that the Minnesota Vikings lost that game.
I would argue that Kirk Cousins blowing three Viking drives
and having three turnovers was a bigger factor in the
(06:19):
arithmetic on the outcome of that game. So that would
be the point that I would make. But if you
go back and you look at the numbers of that
Minnesota Tampa Bay game, and you say, well, the Buccaneers
won the game twenty to seventeen, so it wasn't a
high scoring game. It was a standard low scoring situation.
(06:40):
But at halftime of that game, it was a ten
to ten game. So it's not like the Vikings in
the first half when the Bucks did not know the signs.
It's not like there was this big chasm between the teams.
But if you look at the statuet and you look
at the numbers, the Vikings had over one hundred more
year yards of offense than the Buccaneers. But then you
(07:03):
have to break the game down. The Buccaneers only had
two hundred and forty two yards of offense against the Vikes,
which doesn't seem like that much considering the Baker Mayfield.
Those guys are bragging and pumping their chest out about
how they knew the plays, but at halftime they only
had ninety five yards, right, which is it's kind of
it's kind of. It wasn't like it was much better
(07:24):
in the second half, but the turnovers was a bigger deal,
all right. Furthermore, in Kansas City, the Chiefs, they got
the band back together. Chris Jones keeping up with the joneses,
he ended his holdout and he's back in Travis Kelce.
Now he's got his new lady friend there, certain singer
he's he's supposed to be back, and Chris Jones is
(07:46):
out practicing with the team after his holdout got a
new contract. Jones said to the assembled media in Kansas
City that he is quote super pleased close quote with
how things turned out after signing his new one year deal,
which is worth up to twenty five million smack a
(08:07):
ruse now. Jones added that things never got personal with
the Chiefs during the contract stalemate. So how do you
process Chris Jones saying that he's super pleased with his
chief's deal in the immortal words, I'll go first, in
the immortal words of Ron Burgundy from Anchorman, I don't
(08:29):
believe you, right, I don't believe you? Like, what do
you think? This is amateur hour? Chris Jones. I know
he's got to say this stuff. He's trying to put
a happy face on the situation. But he has earned
his doctorate in spin spin, spin, spin spin. It's like
old disc jockey's spinning records. Jones cost himself almost four
(08:52):
million dollars money that he will never get back. I
know he's making a lot of money, but that's money
he'll never get to touch. And his deal, from what
I've been told, is incentive based, meaning that if he
underperforms or gets a flat tire, has an Aaron Rodgers
pop goes the Achilles, he's toast. He's not gonna make
that extra money. So Chris Jones was the big loser
(09:13):
in this chapter of the book. Now he could be
the big winner in the next contract, but he eats
the l on this one parting shot. We're gonna change sports.
I We're gonna leave the NFL world. We head to Milwaukee,
We head to Wisconsin. An NBA headliner is again chatting
about relocate. Giannis Adenta. Cumbo is his name, pro bouncy
(09:38):
ball is his game now. He spoke on a recent
podcast about plans going forward. He said, I'm a Milwaukee Buck,
but most importantly, I'm a winner, he stated. He went
on to say, if there is a better situation for
me to win the Larry O'Brien, I have to take
that better situation close, all right. So parsing the words
(10:02):
on the latest Yannis decree about his future, how do
you see it, so on this one, we're gonna read
the tea leaves here, and I am a distant relative
of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas who got his prediction
on the Seahawk game terribly wrong. This is a straightforward
ABC one two three situation. Every indicator, every clue, every
(10:28):
one of them says, Yannis has one foot out the door.
His bags are packed. He is going to say da
da da da da da la da, Hey, hey, good
bye to the box. All right, he's out of there.
He's dropped multiple hints about leaving open your ears, open
(10:51):
your eyes. And here's the problem. There will always be
a better situation than the bus. Even when the Box won,
there were better situations than playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
There were more talented rosters, they just didn't win. And remember,
it's not the most talented team that always wins alone.
Basketball usually is. But typically there are teams that have
(11:14):
their season defined by injuries. Right, people fall apart and
it's the battle of attrition. That's why everyone's practicing the
evil Devil's art of load management. But the Greek freak,
when he's dreaming and there's that cartoon bubble over his head.
He's dreaming of being the Gypsy King, Basketball's gypsy kick.
(11:35):
He already won a title with the Bucks, so he's
proven it can be done. He did it the hard away,
and now he wants to travel down Easy Street. That's
the takeaway for me that Giannis is telling you he
wants to leave number one number two. He just wants
to be like all these other guys, the other players
in the NBA have rubbed off on. He wants to
do what everyone else does. Go to the Lakers, go
(11:57):
to the Heat, do that with the Golden State War.
But this is the same guy. I love this quote.
Now I'm a winner. I'm a winner. Of course, he's
the same guy that said there's no failure in sports.
So everyone everyone is a winner. You're a winner. You're
a winner, You're a winner. Everyone's a winner. Oh I'm
so excit. Everyone wins, everyone wins. It is the Ben

Big Panda Rights in not to be confused with Little
Panda Big pan Different parts on Known says excellent monologue.
Baker Mayfield saw through that milk toast Minnesota defense like
I did. Chris Jones is an idiot, and Yannis is
on his way to being acquired by the People's team
in exchange for a bacon rap hot dog. I'll take
that as long as Jannis does not practice the art
(14:32):
of load management every other game, because if that's gonna
be the case, just let him go somewhere else. I
don't need that. I waited my entire life for the
Clippers to get Kawhi Leonard, to watch him sit on
his ass and not want to play it's ridiculous. A
late night drug tester writes in says, the Vikings played
with fire last year but got lucky in close games.
Speaking of luck, does the Petty like Minnesota or the
(14:54):
Eagles tonight? Well, I'm glad you brought that up now,
as you know, I have a TV show now, I
haven't really mentioned that and hoard myself out to promote
the TV show at all, but it is called Benny
Versus the Penny to be on. We're actually taping it
later today, so I have a long day today. I
got a long day. I gotta go do the TV
thing days, which I'm excited about because I never thought
I'd be able to say that again. But anyway, as
far as the pick, we don't pick the Thursday night
(15:16):
game on Benny Versus Penny, but I will give you
my pick. I do like the Minnesota Vikings tonight. I
watched the Eagle Patriot game, a good chunk of it,
and the Eagles. I know the Patriots have a good defense,
I get that, but the Eagles looked totally in that.
It was the first game and all that, but there
were issues on both sides of the ball. They allowed
Mac Jones and the Patriots to matriculate the ball around
(15:38):
the field much better than I expected the Patriot passing
game to go. So that's number one. So Cousins will
have some opportunities. Now, the problem with Cousins, and I've
lost a ton of times with Cousins in primetime games gambling.
The problem with Cousins is he's got those brain farts,
two or three of them, and sometimes they turned into
pick sixes. Sometimes they turn into nothing. But that's the issue.
But getting six points, I think the line is it's
(16:01):
Philadelphia favored by six and Jalen Hurts was great last
year at homely. Of course they got to the super Bowl,
but I'm not I'm not feeling it right now. I
got see some dominance by the Eagles. The Vikings are
an average team. They're not a great team. They played
better than they should have last year. They're obviously gonna
be worse this year. But they can hang around. You
(16:22):
can be a close game. These Thursday games, though, are
such a pain in the ass because we've seen last
year Al Michaels the complaints about guess certain teams just
don't show up on Thursday night, and it's like they
have the he b GPI's let's go to Speaking of
showing up, this woman always shows up and she's got
all the star charts out and everything you want to know,
(16:43):
numbers based on where the planets are lined up. We
say hello to Andrea, these sports sorcerers. She's hanging out
in Berkeley right now. She's got all the dirt. Hello Andrea. Hello.
If I was any better, I'd be a Buffalo bill.
But not Josh Allen because they lost to the Jets
and Zach Wilson. That's embarrassing, but you didn't call about that.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, just more Aaron Rodgers' news, which is interesting, the
post that he shared on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, he sounded he sounded like a superhero from like
a good like a superhero movie from like the nineteen
eighties or nineties. That's what he sounded like to me.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Right, Well, he does have his moon in scorpio. So
that whole thing about how he'll rise again like a
phoenix from the ashes, I think that's you know, keeping in.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah thirty with the exact quote Andrea was the night
is darkest before the dawn, and I shall rise yet again, right.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
But yeah, you know, and I believe that you know,
he's an optimistic Sagittarius, and you know he's very visionary
and positive, and it's got that idealistic energy about him
and very hopeful and you know, adventurous. But you know
what's really interesting when that you a transit hits. I mean,
(18:01):
wherever you go, there you are, you still have your transits.
That's December January. So I'm thinking, you know, when you
have that positive Jupiter transit, you got that wonderful TV show,
I'm thinking a lot of opportunities are going to happen
for him. And you know, if he wants to go
back to football, so be it. But I think because
he's so interested in so many other things, you know,
(18:22):
the Darkness Retreats, the Alasca journeys, his travels, that he's
going to keep his options open. Even though he's going
to say, you know, he might want to get back
into football, he doesn't want to go out that way.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah. No, we talked about the other night Andrew, and
I agree. I mean, right now the stories is going
to come back, but there's a lot of time between
now which the NFL season, and there will be stories.
I will guarantee you I will bet one dollar which
is all I have in my bank account. I will
bet one dollar that we see a story that people
around Aaron Rodgers think he might not come back. You know,
there's a setback on the reab, or he's falling in
(18:57):
love with some kind of new new thing. You can
smoke that Joe Rogan told them about that you have
to go to some jungle far away to find and
he'd be like, you know, so those stories are going
to come. Whether they're true or not, you know, that's
up for debate, but they will be out there, right.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I mean that exploring, adventurous, wandering soul that he has.
I don't think he's going to just stick to one
thing if something more interesting comes up. You know, he's
very open minded in visionary, so I wouldn't be surprised
if he decided to do that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, no, no, for sure, for sure. All right, Well, Andrew,
thank you and Virgo in service and very nice. Thank
you for that. Rgo tomorrow, Oh new moon tomorrow, new
moon and Virgo.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Tomorrow retrograde September fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, let weed man hippie know in Miami there, all right,
thank you, there she goes our friend Andrew appreciate that
tie rights, and he says, I think stealing signs is
great if it's the athletes and coaches figuring it out
live on the field. It's just clever business. With random staffers.
We don't know about watching and banging trash cans as
(20:05):
cheating exact baseball in particular baseball teams. They don't do
it anymore because they've got nerds running the teams. With
the baseball teams. When I started, like I was an
obviously a fan, but I started as like nineteen as
a kid covering baseball, and the Angels had a guy
named Jimmy Reese, still one of the nicest people. Everyone
loved Jimmy Reese. Jimmy Reese was a room His claim
(20:26):
to fame was he's He was a roommate of Babe Ruth.
I can't believe, looking back now because so much time
has passed that I kind of like talk to a
guy whose room he was roommates with. Baby. That blows
me away thinking about it now. In regism, But anyway,
Jimmy Reese was on the team because he was a
master as a coach, because he could steal signs, he
was able to decode because he'd been in baseball since
(20:49):
like the nineteen twenties or some crap like that, and
he was able to decode signs, so they kept him around.
They gave him a uniform and like his eighties, he's
out there running around in a uniform and a lot
of teams had old, old coaches that could decode signs. Arikan,
Minnesota says, I agree as well, not cheating. I will
say if he actually Baker Mayfield actually did know all
(21:10):
the signals, he and the Bucks are a horrible offensive team.
They scored all of ten second half points and the
touchdown was given to them on a horrendous offside penalty
on Jay Ward. Yeah it was I agree. I agree.
I think the level of signs steelage that they had
was embellished. How about that. Let's go to a fellow Ben.
(21:32):
It's Ben and Ben in the morning in Maine. Hello, Ben,
Welcome Who Ben, Ben? Ben Man?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Who?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
I am just so sick and tired of these Buffalo
bill fans. Give him a little bit of a success
and they're acting like they've won six Yes, I'm a
Patriots fan. I'm biased. We own them for two decades.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
The man, the pissed off, but uh BacT like Josh
Allen is Tom Brady and Diggs's Moss. This is ridiculous.
This guy Tim last night they called up the comic
book guy this morning.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
What's up with this?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
I'm sick of it. I walked into the belly of
the beast that playoff game. Mac Jones went in there
and we got our butts kicked. And those people are
they're animals. They're animals. It's ridiculous how they act. Seriously,
it was like burn entire fires. We even walk in there.
The state police cust us out. What do you guys
do when he's three of us? We drove from Maine.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Now, Ben, were you fully decked out in your Patriot gear?
Did you have your full represent Dude?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Come on, you get me scared? You gotta represent?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, I got you. Well you're a tough guy, right,
you were able to handle it.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Tough guys just to get out of you know, we
got the tickets for cheap. You know, it's like, let's go.
We drove the buffalo from Maine and then we drove
all the way back and obviously I think if the
game was closer, know that Patriots had won, we would
have got our butts kicked. But it was a pretty
brutal scene. It's just these guys. I know they haven't
been there before, but they should probably be before, even
though they didn't want anything yet. So I'm just tired
(23:03):
of it, you know what i mean. So let's keep
the guy.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The guy yesterday was insane, right, he had. He was
making every excuse you could possibly make for Josh Allen.
It was. It was ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing I've
ever heard.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
But anyway, I'm the biggest Tom Brady fan boy or whatever.
An apologies, but even so, like, just just give it
a break. Let's let's see what you can do.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
You lose it to the Jets, so uh yeah, you
know exactly, be careful too. You got the Raiders. That
should be an easy win. The Bills are a big favorite,
but watch out, watch out Josh Allen. It look good.
He looked those shape. If you lose to Zach Wilson,
you could lose to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
For sure, absolutely absolutely all right.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You worry about your Patriots though they got the Dolphins
on Sunday nights, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
That's gonna be tough. We'll see. I mean, yeah, Mac
looked okay, but uh, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Advice is to run the ball. And I know Mac
look good. But the Dolphins did not stop. The Chargers
ran it right down their throat. That's how they It
wasn't even justin Herbert. The Chargers scored thirty four points.
It was mostly the Aweso Eckler in the running game
the other running his name. But I thank you, Mat,
all right, I appreciate it, all right, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Todgers lose to the Padres six to one.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Blake Snelling, I know I saw you the other night.
I was out there and I saw Scott Boris and
three of the guys that work for Scott Morris just
massaging Blake Snell before that start. This is the next
meal ticket for Scott Boris because Blake Snell, Uh, bro,
I'm risking my laughe As you said, Eddie is going
to be a free agent and he is going to
(25:05):
cash in and then some team like the Red Sox
or the Mets or the Yankees is going to have
buyer's remorse right after the contract signs because he'll go
He'll go back to being a turd, is what He's
going to go back to being. That's my my hot take.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Any tweet that out. Coop Ben Maler says, Blake Snell
will be going back to be a turd.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
On the Fox Sports radio account. Make sure you put
that in. He blocked me on Twitter, but he will
have to unblock me when Elon Musk doesn't allow anyone
to be blocked when they do that, and I will
be unblocked. And how exciting will that be a listener asked,
does Iowa Sam have any nicknames? Yes, he has one nickname.
It's not just Iowa Sam. He's got the air I
(25:44):
think we called him the air frar liar. Yeah, see
the nickna you only have one. Eddie's got a lot,
like I have the most. I don't even use my
nicknames a lot because I've got so many of them.
I've been called the Spinmaster misinformation, the bannering broadcaster. People
have said, hey, you're the Beethoven of bs, the Curmudgeon
(26:04):
of commentary, the Chasm of sarcasm, the Tzar of Zandy,
the dark Knight of weak night sports radio, Mogul of mischief,
Benny the Brazen, the King of Zing, Moneyball Maller, Benny
the Bopper, the Facetious Fox, the Sultan of Insultant, the
Shaman of Schotenfreud, and the jumping jack of wisecrack inside
of overnight Medicine Man Maller, the Nabob of negativity, the
(26:26):
Sage of Outrage, the Pinnacle of cynical, Prince of preposters,
Professor of propaganda, Hazar Hyperbole, and the mad Hatter of
sports chatter. And that's only half of my nicknames. But right,
now better hold on. You want the rest, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
No, no, no, I don't. But uh do you remember
Jim Daniels. Who's the work here?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, Jim Day working.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Jim da is on the NFL network right now.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
No way is that right? Yes?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
What is he doing on the endstuing some kind of
a fantasy football thing?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
No way is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
He looks boy, he looks totally different last time it has.
He's got long gray hair and it's all rockered out.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Look at that side radio my mind, that's a little
side ready. But no, Jim Daniels. In fact, I have
a great Jim Daniel story. Me and we were I
bet you did. We were on the air on a
Sunday night when we got shot at in the in
that in the old studio and I was on the
air with Jim that night and we told the window
got shot out. We think we know who did it,
(27:27):
but I never caught the person that did it. We
have a pretty good idea who did it. But anyway,
remember telling my what Yeah, yeah, they know who did it. Well,
we have a pretty good idea, you know, Colonel Mustard
the Revolver. But anyway, Jerry was my producer with Jim
that night, and we yeah, we told Jerry said, we
(27:47):
want to call the cops. Somebody just shot at the studio.
And Jerry said, I don't worry about it, bro, And
then he raised he lowered all the blinds, so at
least next time, if they drove by again, they wouldn't
see where they were shooting. That was good job, Jerry. Yeah, solid.
Why he's driving a truck somewhere. Kim's still doing stuff.
That's good.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah, it's uh, he's apparently out on the koos. It
says on the graphic. I'll send you a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
All right, yeah, take a shot. I don't have the
NFL network up here in the studio. I mean, all right,
let's get you cut him on all the hockey right now.
It's pucked. No World hockey season is starting before, you.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Know, less than a month away. Here is and he bars, well, Ben,
I don't know if you saw this, but an interesting story.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
And and I'm gonna warn io Sam, is he do
you leave his post?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, he's eating corn right now.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was gonna say, I might have to be dumped,
uh for this story, but uh, whatever happens here, I
guess uh, the Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Mike Babcock
and captain Boone Jenner are denying allegations that Babcock acted
inappropriately and violated players privacy when asking to see photos
on their cell phones. Former NHL player Paul Bisonett, who's
(28:54):
now an analyst for TNT, said on his Spit and
chick Lits podcast Jenner was asked to meet earlier this
summer with Babcock, who asked to see images on Jenner's
phone before displaying them via airplay on his office wall.
He also accused the coach of looking for Dick and
Dayton picks. Babcock said in his statement, while meeting with players,
(29:14):
I asked them to share off their phones family photos
as part of a process of getting to know them better.
There was absolutely nothing more to it than that it
was a way of portray the way it was portrayed
on the Spit and Chickless podcast with a gross misrepresentation
that those meetings and was extremely offensive the player Boone
Jenner also released his own statement via the team saying
pretty much backing up the coach. Bisonette is standing by
(29:36):
his comments that Babcock was out of line. Saying on
social media he confirmed the story with another member of
the team and that it was bizarre behavior from a
guy that has quote done it before and gotten canned
for stuff exactly like this end quote. Bessinette also claims
that he is defending players from mistreatment, saying on Twitter,
We're a player's podcast. You want to f with the players,
(29:56):
We're going to bend you over no lube in paper finish.
He also called Babcock's statement bull crap, but he said
something else. Babcock's conduct has come under his scrutiny in
the past. When he's coaching in Toronto, had an inflamous
incident with rookie Mitch Martin asked him in private to
rank his teammate's work ethic and then revealed the ranking
(30:16):
to his team.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
All Right, a couple of fuss, Yes, this guy, if
it's true, Is he like a voyeur? Is that what
he's like? He just is that's his thing. He wants
to look at the photos. That's his deal. Is that
what it is? Or is like, would you give somebody
your phone to look at your photos?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Eddie? I would probably feel I mean, I'd be fine
with it, I guess. But it is a little bit
of a I don't know if it's an invasion of privacy, but.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Go way back, you go back.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
It's an awkward position I think to be end to
ask to but it can also be innocent as well.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't know. I don't has it innocent.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He's he's meeting players for the first time. He wants
to get to know them, and so he asked, what
can you say?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh, why do you send me a couple of photos
from your life?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (30:59):
But not I have no analogy of anything.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I don't know. Maybe he didn't do it. Who knows.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, although you know, if you're a young hockey player,
I'm guessing on your phone you might have some uh
interesting things on.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Those puck bunnies Eddie, yeah something. Whatever happens with the
puck bunny stays with the puck buddy, I guess. So
sometimes there's photos and you know when you want to
to have it that you want to keep it around
interest in case memories.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It would be interesting to see if TNT has any
issue with some of Bisonett's graphic comments in this little
little incident here, Autawa Centaers lock up their young defense
when Jake Sanderson. They game an eight year, sixty four
point contract eight point five million a year. This is
after one season in the NHL. He's twenty one years old,
four goals, twenty seven games. Yeah, that's it's quite the
(31:46):
vote of confidence. One season it was pretty good. Here's
eight years, all right. Former NHLNVP goalie Carry Price says
he's come to terms this playing days being over. Says
his knees cannot take the stress of being a goalie anymore.
He's still under contract for three more seasons with the
Canadians at ten point five million. Former league MVP and
vez in the trophy winner as.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
A top goalie. If there's a miracle, da, yeah, I know.
If Ai can come up with new knees were him.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Good luck with that. Colora Avalanche captain Gabrie Alandi Scog
not going to play this entire regular season. He's coming
off a knee cartilage transplant surgery. Is going to be
the second straight season he's missed. They're keeping their fingers crossed.
Maybe he can return in the playoffs. Last time he
was on the ice helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.
He's under contract for six more years with the team,
(32:34):
nhlw Commission Bill Day announcing that the NHL is open
to the idea of returning to Atlanta. Now, Atlanta has
had two NHL franchisees before, the Atlanta Flames in seventy
two are excusing nineteen seventy to nineteen eighty, and then
they had the Atlanta Thrashers from nineteen ninety nine to
twenty eleven. So we'll see if third time is the
charm for Atlanta. Perhaps four RENHL players, Dustin Brown and
Jamie Langan Brunner going to the US Hockey Hall of Fame,
(32:57):
and finally Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Chellio set down
his number seven, retired by the Blackhawks. Retired from the
NHL in twenty Tens are playing twenty six seasons. Interesting
way he found out that this was gonna happen. Pearl
Jam was playing a concert at the United Center in Chicago,
and I guess Eddie Vedder is a friend of Chelios.
If you don't know, he's the lead singer at Pearl Jam.
He called Celios up on stage and then told him
(33:20):
and the crowd that he was going to have his
jersey retired and raised to the rafters there at the
stadium that they were they were play against. That's a
that's an interesting little note there. And that's your puck
the world reports.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
All right, I like to update all the affiliates.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
That I have played on here in the studio.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I have turned on the state sponsored NFL media to
show our old radio friend Fox Bush Radio alumni member
Jim Daniels. And he's got the flowing locks. Yeah, that
is quite Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I would never have recognized him, kind of like Rob Ryan,
you know a little bit, a little bit. Yeah, that
would you have recognized them if you saw the photo.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
If they not put the the chiron on screen. That
that's Jim Dan's you know, he goes by JD. Did
you know what they called it? The JD And I
didn't know that. Yeah, he's got a Lyle Alzado jersey
behind him, he's got he's got the guitar, a Spielman.
They got a nice collection of memorabilia, see some records. Man,
I haven't talked to him. And when's the last time
you talked to him.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
It's been a while, a long time.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
He probably over ten years, fifteen years.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, he was on the air when we had that
fight between a producer and a former Remember that was
here and producer went on to have a big career. No,
it was not the producer, the on air guy.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, the air guy. Yeah remember that? Yeah? All right,
