Speaker 1 (00:00):
He we go. It's our numbber four. Our number four
is ready to go. And here in our number four
is wide receiver Terry McLaurin worth DK metcalf money. That's
thirty three million dollars a year. That's what he's asking for.
Or are the commanders right to bok back at paying
(00:22):
a thirty year old wide out elite level cash? We'll
discuss that. Also, Patriots GM Elliott Wolf says he's willing
to give up a first or a second round pick
in the twenty twenty six draft if it means improving
the team. How does that sound to you? Also, what
do you think of the Super Bowl eventually being played
(00:42):
in Europe? The UK Ambassador to the United States has
been openly campaigning in recent days to have the US
Game of Games moved to London. We'll discuss that and more.
Right now, give it up for our number four. Have
a wonderful Tuesday. We thank you for listening to this podcast.
(01:04):
It does mean a lot. Here it is our number four.
Is there a Mick deal or is it on the
value menu? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere
comrades in insomnia is we veer off course coast the coast,
(01:28):
border to border and beyond on the mast and verbally
powerful microphones of fsre emmanating live from the world. It's
a small world after all, from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by Pauli d. He approves this message and
this portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
(01:49):
possible in part by our friends at Tiraq. For over
forty years, ti Raq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and freeback by free road hazard for with convenient
installation options. That's right, Alf and fergdog like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot com the way tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Me so our lead.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
This hour is from just outside the Beltway in Washington
and as Rick and Maryland would say, morning time to
Commander's wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who did not play in
a god awful exhibition game on Monday night that for
some reason was broadcast on national television between the Washington
(02:34):
the football team that used to be called the Redskins
and the Cincinnati Bengals, who used to be called the Bungals,
and so that was the matchup. Now yet Commander's wide
receiver Terry McLaurin, who is in the final year of
his three year contract that paid him about seventy million,
his long national lightmere continues. He's averaging right now twenty
(02:55):
three point two million. How do you expect to buy
bread when you're making twenty three point two million? How
much eggs cost? I mean, what kind of world do
we live in where Terry McLaurin is only making twenty
three point two million per year. So the deal was
signed at the end of twenty twenty two, and it's
about to run out. McLaurin skipped the Commander's practice game
(03:16):
on Monday night. As we mentioned. Have you heard the
latest though you have not? Okay, good? So we are
told that wide receiver Terry McLaurin wants to be paid
a slight raise. He would like an average salary bump,
little bumpity bump of an extra ten million dollars per year.
(03:37):
That's what he would like. We are told that McLaurin
wants thirty three million per year. I wonder if he'll
have as much luck as I had when I was
negotiated my contract and I went to management that said,
like an extra ten dollars. They said, we cannot afford that.
We cannot pay you an extra ten dollars. Cannot do
it anyway. McLaurin wants the thirty three million per year,
(03:59):
which is what Metcalf got. He's a little older, but
he's from the same draft class, similar production as the
crow Flies. So Metcalf signed a five year deal for
one hundred and thirty three actual one hundred and fifty million,
one hundred and thirty three one hundred and fifty million
with the pets Berg Sailors. That'll buy a lot of
terrible towels. Haven't played a game yet for Pittsburgh. Came
(04:22):
over from Seattle this offseason. McLaurin comes off a career
best thirteen touchdowns last fall, Washington's leading playmaker on a
team that won on a magic carpet ride in the playoffs.
So McLaurin wants thirty three million. The Commanders want to
pay him, They say a twenty eight and a half million.
So my malor math tells me there's a four and
(04:43):
a half million gap. Closed the gap. So there's a
deal supposedly to be made but it's not done yet.
Until it's done, it's not done. And there are still
a lot of rumors bouncing around that McLaurin is going
to be traded. So let us discuss the question. Is
Terry McLaurin worth dk metcalf money meaning thirty three million
(05:05):
dollars per year? Or are the commanders right to bach
bach at paying a thirty year old wide out elite
level money? Is this a mistake or is this a
guy worth the money? So I got tupperware, smash Burger,
and nickel coverage, and we will combine all of these
(05:28):
things together, and we're gonna make some spaghetti and meatballs,
is what we're gonna make. Now. I'm more of a
Fetichini alfredo guy, but I don't mind spaghetti and meatballs.
It just reminds me of my youth. Parents made a
lot of spaghetti and meatballs and fish sticks, frozen fish sticks.
That was my diet, all right. So to lead off here,
is he worth the money? Well, you're worth what someone's
(05:49):
dumb enough to pay you. So I say pay the man.
It ain't my money, and I say pay the man.
Mclauren has earned it. He's been a good soldier. He's
most he kept his mouth shut. I know he does
for a trade, now, okay, it's part of the game.
He's been consistent. He hasn't really whined. It's just one
of these guys that produces and you kind of forget
(06:11):
about him because he's solid every year and it doesn't
really matter what stiff is throwing him the ball. And
so to me, that's a guy that deserves to get paid.
Mclaurin's a nice player. Is he justin Jefferson?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Is he the second coming of Jamar Chase. No. However,
he is that for the Commanders, like they don't have
anyone close to his ability. And I'm sorry, but the
player they picked up this offseason from the forty nine ers,
mister Samuel fine player for one year and mclaurin's been
(06:45):
able to do it for a couple of years. And
we mentioned had thirteen touchdowns and on a team that
made the Final four in the NFL. And so Summers saying, well,
you know, he's like the only adult in the room.
But he's not just a tutor. He's actually a productive player.
Coming off his career best touchdown here, and so his
numbers are right there with DK Metcalf. Now, the argument
(07:07):
is that Seattle didn't use Metcalf properly and that Pittsburgh's
gonna use him, so he's going to take off. And
so we mentioned the same draft class, the similar numbers.
So if if you look at this and breaking up,
say DK Metcalf is worth it, why not McLaurin. Terry
McLaurin is like tupperware, reliable, dependable, not exciting. You don't
(07:30):
get excited about tupperware unless you're a loser. But it's dependable.
You need it, you know, store food and all that stuff,
and the refrigerator, and that's what you got. And do
not underestimate the stability factor as a white eye. Now,
the Mallard plan, which as you know, is the only
plan that matters, the Mallard Plan, unsolicited overnight talk radio advice.
(07:53):
The Mallard Plan. You give Terry McLaurin the bag. But
it's a little bit a little baggy, is what it is.
Two years, sixty six million, one six away from the
sign of the devil, sixty six million, fully not your
fully guarantees, which means you've got to put some more
funny money in there to make it so it's not
(08:14):
fully guaranteed, but that way the players happy. Jaden Daniels
has his safety blanket and you're not completely locked into
Terry McLaurin five years from now, just a couple of years,
you know, give him the money, share the sugar. It's
a multi billion dollar business. It's the cost of doing business,
(08:35):
and wide receiver salaries, whether you like it or not,
have gone bananas. I was hoping that overnight radio salaries
would go bananas, but apparently that's not the case. I'll
have to have a conversation with George norriy. I'll have
to talk to George Norrie and see if we can
get some more money. All right, Now, furthermore, we head
to the Commonwealth. We go to New England. In a
(08:56):
related related storyline, you see the comments of the Patriots
GM Elliott Wolf, the Wolfman. So Elliott Wolf, who's nothing
like Wolfmanjack, this legendary DJ from a million years ago. Anyway,
Elliot Wolf, who's in the NFL. He's a NEPO baby.
His dad was a good executive, so I guess he's
(09:16):
a good executive unless he's not. Anyway, Elliott Wolf says
he's willing to give up a first or second round
pick if it means improving the new England football team.
So how does that sound to you? So my initial
reaction to this was it sounds to me like a
boilerplate response, like that is right at right off the
(09:39):
pages of sports cliche dot com, right off the pages
of sportscloche dot com. So in terms of what that
actually means, like seeing is believing, Seeing's like, it's nice
to acknowledge, and that's what this is. It's an acknowledgement
that draft picks are not made of solid gold bouyon.
They're not. And so it's a sign that maybe you're
(10:04):
ending the fetish. Maybe you're ending the fetish that you
hit once in a while. I don't need to go
through my whole rant. You've heard my rant. You hit
once in a while, but most of the time, most
of the time you're staring at a dud. And the
Patriots need stars, they need star power. They don't have that.
(10:25):
They're a faceless, nameless roster. They don't have playmakers. And
you got a guy. Oh again, this guy's not the
most exciting guy Terry McLaurin, but he's an actual, real
life established number one. Why you and he can be
yours if the price is right. And as we have
(10:46):
preached from the bully pulpit here behind the powerful microphones
of Fox Sports Radio, it is my position that the
draft pick is a tool. They're not lucky charms. They're
not magically delicious. They're not you can eat them up,
you know, unless you can't, because there's not Physically there's nothing.
You can't eat them up, you can't hug them. They
(11:06):
don't win you games until they actually turn into proven players.
It's like planning the seeds for some vegetables and then saying, well,
I'm going to enjoy garlic, and I'm gonna get some
you know, some PE's over here and some different things.
But no, because it doesn't guarantee that stuff's gonna grow.
All it does is give you the hope, often a
(11:28):
false hope, that it's going to turn out to be
an established player. And give me the player. Now, I
would rather have two years of Terry McLaurin than a
number two pick in next year's draft. I would. I
would give me the player McLaurin would be for the Patriots.
He would be a booster rocket is what he would be.
(11:49):
And he would help establish Drake May, who is still
teetering on the brink. Is he gonna be good? Does
he suck? He'd sucked last year, but he showed signs.
So you put McLaurin out there, and Drake May goes
from maybe it'll be something to oh, we got a
number one guy. We got a number one guy. McLaurin.
(12:12):
To use a food analogy is like a delicious smash burger,
and would you rather have the smash burger or the
draft pick? Now, the draft pick is like a pot
luck dinner at a church, but it's in the basement
of the church. Now, that could be great, and it
(12:32):
could be slop. It could be slop, it could be
just canning. There's always people that go to these pot
luck things and they don't put any effort into it,
and they just like a can of corn and they
put that out there and that's all you have. But
McLaren would, certainly in theory, speed up the process or process,
and it always I don't believe in rebuilding anyway. The
(12:53):
patriots are screwed. They have no choice. They're in the
middle of this thing, this monstrosity. So you don't sit
around for five years twiddling your thumbs and saying, well,
we'll get the quarterback this year. Next year we'll get
the offensive lineman. The following year will get some playmakers.
That's not the way any of this is supposed to work, right.
You draft the quarterback, You then provide some weaponry, some
(13:15):
actual talent. Look at Washington, they had the wide receiver already.
Last year they got the quarterback Jaden Daniels, and it
was great, worked out really well. It was like macaroni
and cheese. It worked out very well last year. Now
we'll have the same success. Probably not, but you give
Drake May in this little scenario, every chance, every chance
(13:39):
for it to work, and you find out whether or
not he's the guy or he's not the guy. And
if you go into the year with the crap that
the Patriots have a wide receiver, now maybe one of
those guys turns out you catch lightning in a bottle.
The chances that two or three of those guys and
another guy that's washed up a veteran turns out to
be good again, Come on, be realistic, all right. Now,
(14:02):
last thing. We go now to the global marketplace, and
the NFL is being wooed. They're getting those puppy dog
guys from the person named Peter Mandelsson. Who the f
is Peter Mandelson who we are told that he is
(14:24):
the British ambassador to the US. I'm sure Terry in
England knows exactly who he is. So Peter Mandelssohn says
that he is making a full throated effort to bring
the Super Bowl across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom. Question,
(14:47):
what do you think of the scenario where a super
Bowl is played in Europe? So this would be a
disgrace in my book, until every city in America that's
wanted to host a super Bowl was given the opportunity,
(15:08):
and even then I think it's a bad idea. To me,
this is a sacred event. It's the last thing we
have left where everyone in the age of social media
rallies around. Now. I realize that it's not perfect, and
there's way too many commercials and the halftime show normally
blows at the Super Bowl. I get all that, but
(15:29):
the NFL. This is just the NFL drunk on its
own branding. And just because you sold out Wembley Stadium
when the Jaguars came to town, we congratulations suddenly you want
to give the Brits a super Bowl, Like are you
out of your bloody mind? Like what are you doing?
(15:52):
And what we have? I know there are real NFL fans.
We have some that listen to the show that because
we're on during the daytime hours and in England and
so we have people that listen. I know they've been
pen pals of mine and sent me correspondence over the
years and they listen every day and they're at work
and they have real jobs, and like Terry and England,
I use him as an example because he's very interactive
(16:13):
with the show. And so there are some diehards, right,
And I would argue that half of the people consuming
American football in London think that the nickel coverage is
a currency exchange. They have no idea, like they're just
showing up. They don't know what the hell's going on.
(16:33):
And I've also heard from a lot of the people
that have attended these games that the NFL busses in
military families that they're American veterans or whatever people in
the service that are bussed in that if they took
away that they wouldn't sell out those games, like it's
a bit of a misleading thing, at least what I've
(16:56):
been toughing as I understand it, where there's a lot
of military families that are bust in from the bases around,
you know, within reasonable driving distance of the stadiums in
London and the other places they play the games, and
they bust them in and they have a captive audience.
The NFL Super Bowl is not for us. It's not
(17:16):
for me, it's not for you. It's a corporate crowd
that goes to the Super Bowl. We're allowed as peasants,
were allowed to go to the lead up, like I've
been to Radio Row a few times and I've done that,
which is cool, it's fine, you know whatever. And they
have a big gift shop that they can over price
merchandise and sell it to you. But the logistics of
(17:38):
a Super Bowl, it's not only the fifty three players,
the sixteen player practice squad, the twelve coaches, the eight trainers,
the seventeen massage therapists. It's the families. It's everything, the
entire entourage that has to travel to the end. But
then you have the sponsors. You get them there. I've
got the friends, friends and family, got to get them there,
(18:00):
they got to travel. It's like it's like a Coldplay
tour in but no, it's the Super Bowl. No, I'm
not even gonna worry about time zones and jet lag.
And I think a lot of that stuff is overblown,
especially for the Super Bowl, because you got two weeks off.
You'd go to wherever the game's being played in the
United Kingdom and you'd be there for a week and
(18:20):
your body would adjust. And I'm not worried about the
pound and the euro and all that. I'm not worried
about any of that stuff. Uh. And on the NFL
is like, well, we want to grow the game and
all this stuff. That's fine. Send send all the preseason games.
I would like to represent the fan. Let's get every
NFL exhibition game for the rest of my life to
(18:42):
be played in foreign countries. I am all for it, right.
I'll even send them that Pro Bowl that for Gayze
or for Gazi, the tic tac toe thing they do.
I'll send that volleyball NFL Volleyball boom done. I'll even
send Roger Goodell in a suit, remember when Barstool put
them in the clown nose, And I'll do that. I'll
(19:03):
send them over there the super Bowl though, No, that's good,
even though I will never be able to afford to attend.
And I'm not a media elite. I don't do a
daytime show, so I'll never be able to get in
there as a media member. I'll never attend a Super Bowl.
I'm fine with that. Just keep it around, Just keep
it around, moving around, rotate it. You do the Las
Bay area, Miami, New Orleans, you get this rotation. I'm
(19:28):
throw in some other cities. I'm fine with that. All right.
It is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like

and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Maler shall
right listen Vegas. This said at a three to five
steak out bar and gross right here, UNLB, Ben Maller,
Loreina Cooper Loop do a little meet and greet one
day only. You want to schmooze, you want to hang out.
That's it. One day, No gimmicks, no bs. The great
(21:00):
thing about the Malad Militia in person is you've got
really rich people, really successful people, and you've got people
that have nothing, I mean, living on the streets, homeless dudes.
The last one we did, we had an executive at
Bally what was it, Bollagio. There was an executive from
(21:21):
the Bolagio who was at the event. We also had
a person that swims in the fountains at the Bolagio
because he's homeless at the event. You don't get that
at any other radio bit so our appearance or anything
of that. So Mala Malitia in person, put the kids away,
tell your wife you're going out for groceries or something
(21:42):
like that. Come have some fun Vegas, will see you
on Saturday. Check it out. All right, back to it
we go as we gap. Yeah, the now morning hours away.
We have more to the story, more to the story.
So there's a story the other day that the Arizona
Diamondbacks were preparing to trade could tell Marte all star
(22:06):
level ballplayer, could tell Marte is like, well, they didn't
like his attitude. Well, now we've gotten the rest of
the story. And it turns out that the reason his
name all of a sudden popped up in trade rumors
is because could tell Marte. He went home to the
Dominican Republic after the All Star break, which would not
(22:30):
have been a problem if he had not stayed in
the Dominican Republic and missed some games because he wanted
to you know, home cooking, you know, mama's home cooking.
I get it, but he got a job to dude, dude,
and yeah, so he apparently stayed in the Dominican and
he missed a couple of games and the team covered
for him. What idiot. So he's addressed the media. He
(22:53):
said before the game on Monday that his priority is
to play hard and win games for the Diamondbacks. And this,
of course, he did not say his priorities to show
up to all the games. All right, that's uh, he says.
He went a wall. It's just like went awell. That's it,
all right, let's go unexcused absence. He went to awell.
(23:14):
Let's go to the phones. Eenie meanie, miny moe. Let's
say hello to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello, blind Emmett, Welcome.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Big Ben Malor how you doing.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Live in the dream? Live in the dream? Blind him?
And what's new with you? You're all growing up now, right,
you're all grown up? Look at you?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, I'm own now, I'm unstatus as the kid say,
even though I'm a kid. Hey like I like he
did the Steve Hartman there, Live in the dream.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
That's right, Live in the dream. Me and Steve Hartman one, Well,
he's living more of a dream than I am. But sure, yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Steve Hartman's had a hell of a life. But I
want to talk about Terry mcclaurran, Ben, because I think
you're spot on with this, and if you're the Washington commanders,
there's two things I gotta say. First off, you do
not want Deebo Samuel as you're at number one receiver.
Second Off, if you're gonna pay scary Terry, you gotta
do it right now because it's going to be like
a three year contract and you got to think what
(24:11):
is Jane Daniels going to ask for in three years?
I mean, we got guys making sixty million dollars. It's
not crazy to say that Jane Daniels contract could be
sixty five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So how about eighty million a year? How about that?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
The crazy part is here you might not be wrong,
and that's just the inflation of the quarterback market and
it ast go up from there.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Dynam it. They survived the pandemic. I thought for sure
when there were no games and then they are empty
stadiums or whatever, like, wow, that'll kill that'll kill it.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
But that just proves to me, Ben, how rich the
NFL is And that kind of leads me to my
next point where we're talking about the super Bowl going
to London. It's so stupid, man, and something I think
we need to look at more. This is like an
American holiday for the people right here, Ben, This is
like Fourth of July type say.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Man, we stand for the people me and blind hm,
but we stand for the people. That's America, maybe America America,
or at least North America. At least keep it in
North America.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Yeah, North America.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I could put up with Mexico City or Vancouver.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah yeah, yeah. And I think too. A lot of
it that we kind of forget about is not only
is the NFL making a boatload of money with this,
we got the super Bowl, like travel expenses, hotels through
the roof.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Right through the roof, that's all a tax roof, that's
all a tax ride off. Though they'll say, like I
think you got.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
You got how much money the city is making though,
like as a whole, Like if you're an American city owner,
like so let's say you own like a.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Bar and grill.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And I don't know, I'm always wanting the super Bowl.
I know I'm always skeptical about those figures. I think
they're they making them up. I don't think they're legit.
I don't believe that they make money. I'm not saying
they don't make money, but I don't believe the amounts
of money. Like I've been to the last couple of
Super Bowls, like the ones out West, and there were
a lot of people there, but it didn't seem like
(25:59):
it was any more than the times I've been to
those cities in the past.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
So well, yeah, they're probably charging like fifty two dollars
for a hot dog.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
At the price price gouging, like the parking the price
gouging for stuff like that is next level.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Even at minor league baseball games. It's like I was
at a Rainiers game last weekend. Beer eleven dollars, hot
dog nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's not right. Come on, blind naman wants to have
a beer and a hot dog should not be I
do love that. That's ridiculous. You can Minor league baseball
supposed to be family friendly, affordable, fun, the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Yeah, exactly, and they have they're advertising all these specials. Oh,
come on Tuesday and you get a hat and a
shirt for twenty three bucks. It's like, okay, but you're
gonna have to spend more than twenty three bucks unless
you eat before the game. So yeah, win something loose.
I guess I mean you should get a hat or
a shirt.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
All right, hold on, somebody wants to talk to you.
Hold on a second. All right, Blind, we got who
do you think it is? You want to think?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
I guess i'd be a rich man here.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Because it's Scott.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
All right, let's see random caller. You're on the air,
Random caller, Hello.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Dude, that call absolutely sucks. You don't talk contract and
money on the radio. Nobody cares about contracting numbers, dude.
And then you're.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Oh my god, this is this is the blind attacking
the blind here. How do you respond here, blind blind
to this attack from blind Scott.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
First off, never leaving my mom's basement is crazy, man,
I mean, you're you're on there on the Twitter machine
asking for money, bar and Scott. And second off, if
we didn't care about contract situations. Why the hell would
Big Ben bring it up? Why would he open the
phone talk about it?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Would be asked to put money on Twitter? Have anything
to do? You live with your mom's basement if you're.

talk about mclaura and the commanders and the patriots.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
But then you've got that dumb ass that comes on
the phone, Blind Scott.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I'm still trying to figure out which personality he comes
on with on a daily basis.

That guy needs a swirly again.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, all right, and we'll calm down here, take a
take a breath. Well, Blind Scott, definitely not a version.

such a clown man.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
All right, Uh Mike, he's challenged you to some kind
of violence there, Mike in New Hampshire.

He we go. It's our numbber four. Our number four
is ready to go. And here in our number four
is wide receiver Terry McLaurin worth DK metcalf money. That's
thirty three million dollars a year. That's what he's asking for.
Or are the commanders right to bok back at paying
(00:22):
a thirty year old wide out elite level cash? We'll
discuss that. Also, Patriots GM Elliott Wolf says he's willing
to give up a first or a second round pick
in the twenty twenty six draft if it means improving
the team. How does that sound to you? Also, what
do you think of the Super Bowl eventually being played
(00:42):
in Europe? The UK Ambassador to the United States has
been openly campaigning in recent days to have the US
Game of Games moved to London. We'll discuss that and more.
Right now, give it up for our number four. Have
a wonderful Tuesday. We thank you for listening to this podcast.
(01:04):
It does mean a lot. Here it is our number four.
Is there a Mick deal or is it on the
value menu? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere
comrades in insomnia is we veer off course coast the coast,
(01:28):
border to border and beyond on the mast and verbally
powerful microphones of fsre emmanating live from the world. It's
a small world after all, from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,

fast and freeback by free road hazard for with convenient

tire rack dot com the way tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Me so our lead.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
This hour is from just outside the Beltway in Washington
and as Rick and Maryland would say, morning time to
Commander's wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who did not play in
a god awful exhibition game on Monday night that for
some reason was broadcast on national television between the Washington
(02:34):
the football team that used to be called the Redskins
and the Cincinnati Bengals, who used to be called the Bungals,
and so that was the matchup. Now yet Commander's wide
receiver Terry McLaurin, who is in the final year of
his three year contract that paid him about seventy million,
his long national lightmere continues. He's averaging right now twenty
(02:55):
three point two million. How do you expect to buy
bread when you're making twenty three point two million? How
much eggs cost? I mean, what kind of world do
we live in where Terry McLaurin is only making twenty
three point two million per year. So the deal was
signed at the end of twenty twenty two, and it's
about to run out. McLaurin skipped the Commander's practice game
(03:16):
on Monday night. As we mentioned. Have you heard the
latest though you have not? Okay, good? So we are
told that wide receiver Terry McLaurin wants to be paid
a slight raise. He would like an average salary bump,
little bumpity bump of an extra ten million dollars per year.
(03:37):
That's what he would like. We are told that McLaurin
wants thirty three million per year. I wonder if he'll
have as much luck as I had when I was
negotiated my contract and I went to management that said,
like an extra ten dollars. They said, we cannot afford that.
We cannot pay you an extra ten dollars. Cannot do
it anyway. McLaurin wants the thirty three million per year,
(03:59):
which is what Metcalf got. He's a little older, but
he's from the same draft class, similar production as the
crow Flies. So Metcalf signed a five year deal for
one hundred and thirty three actual one hundred and fifty million,
one hundred and thirty three one hundred and fifty million
with the pets Berg Sailors. That'll buy a lot of
terrible towels. Haven't played a game yet for Pittsburgh. Came
(04:22):
over from Seattle this offseason. McLaurin comes off a career
best thirteen touchdowns last fall, Washington's leading playmaker on a
team that won on a magic carpet ride in the playoffs.
So McLaurin wants thirty three million. The Commanders want to
pay him, They say a twenty eight and a half million.
So my malor math tells me there's a four and
(04:43):
a half million gap. Closed the gap. So there's a
deal supposedly to be made but it's not done yet.
Until it's done, it's not done. And there are still
a lot of rumors bouncing around that McLaurin is going
to be traded. So let us discuss the question. Is
Terry McLaurin worth dk metcalf money meaning thirty three million
(05:05):
dollars per year? Or are the commanders right to bach
bach at paying a thirty year old wide out elite
level money? Is this a mistake or is this a
guy worth the money? So I got tupperware, smash Burger,
and nickel coverage, and we will combine all of these
(05:28):
things together, and we're gonna make some spaghetti and meatballs,
is what we're gonna make. Now. I'm more of a
Fetichini alfredo guy, but I don't mind spaghetti and meatballs.
It just reminds me of my youth. Parents made a
lot of spaghetti and meatballs and fish sticks, frozen fish sticks.
That was my diet, all right. So to lead off here,
is he worth the money? Well, you're worth what someone's
(05:49):
dumb enough to pay you. So I say pay the man.
It ain't my money, and I say pay the man.
Mclauren has earned it. He's been a good soldier. He's
most he kept his mouth shut. I know he does
for a trade, now, okay, it's part of the game.
He's been consistent. He hasn't really whined. It's just one
of these guys that produces and you kind of forget
(06:11):
about him because he's solid every year and it doesn't
really matter what stiff is throwing him the ball. And
so to me, that's a guy that deserves to get paid.
Mclaurin's a nice player. Is he justin Jefferson?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Is he the second coming of Jamar Chase. No. However,
he is that for the Commanders, like they don't have
anyone close to his ability. And I'm sorry, but the
player they picked up this offseason from the forty nine ers,
mister Samuel fine player for one year and mclaurin's been
(06:45):
able to do it for a couple of years. And
we mentioned had thirteen touchdowns and on a team that
made the Final four in the NFL. And so Summers saying, well,
you know, he's like the only adult in the room.
But he's not just a tutor. He's actually a productive player.
Coming off his career best touchdown here, and so his
numbers are right there with DK Metcalf. Now, the argument
(07:07):
is that Seattle didn't use Metcalf properly and that Pittsburgh's
gonna use him, so he's going to take off. And
so we mentioned the same draft class, the similar numbers.
So if if you look at this and breaking up,
say DK Metcalf is worth it, why not McLaurin. Terry
McLaurin is like tupperware, reliable, dependable, not exciting. You don't
(07:30):
get excited about tupperware unless you're a loser. But it's dependable.
You need it, you know, store food and all that stuff,
and the refrigerator, and that's what you got. And do
not underestimate the stability factor as a white eye. Now,
the Mallard plan, which as you know, is the only
plan that matters, the Mallard Plan, unsolicited overnight talk radio advice.
(07:53):
The Mallard Plan. You give Terry McLaurin the bag. But
it's a little bit a little baggy, is what it is.
Two years, sixty six million, one six away from the
sign of the devil, sixty six million, fully not your
fully guarantees, which means you've got to put some more
funny money in there to make it so it's not
(08:14):
fully guaranteed, but that way the players happy. Jaden Daniels
has his safety blanket and you're not completely locked into
Terry McLaurin five years from now, just a couple of years,
you know, give him the money, share the sugar. It's
a multi billion dollar business. It's the cost of doing business,
(08:35):
and wide receiver salaries, whether you like it or not,
have gone bananas. I was hoping that overnight radio salaries
would go bananas, but apparently that's not the case. I'll
have to have a conversation with George norriy. I'll have
to talk to George Norrie and see if we can
get some more money. All right, Now, furthermore, we head
to the Commonwealth. We go to New England. In a
(08:56):
related related storyline, you see the comments of the Patriots
GM Elliott Wolf, the Wolfman. So Elliott Wolf, who's nothing
like Wolfmanjack, this legendary DJ from a million years ago. Anyway,
Elliot Wolf, who's in the NFL. He's a NEPO baby.
His dad was a good executive, so I guess he's
(09:16):
a good executive unless he's not. Anyway, Elliott Wolf says
he's willing to give up a first or second round
pick if it means improving the new England football team.
So how does that sound to you? So my initial
reaction to this was it sounds to me like a
boilerplate response, like that is right at right off the
(09:39):
pages of sports cliche dot com, right off the pages
of sportscloche dot com. So in terms of what that
actually means, like seeing is believing, Seeing's like, it's nice
to acknowledge, and that's what this is. It's an acknowledgement
that draft picks are not made of solid gold bouyon.
They're not. And so it's a sign that maybe you're
(10:04):
ending the fetish. Maybe you're ending the fetish that you
hit once in a while. I don't need to go
through my whole rant. You've heard my rant. You hit
once in a while, but most of the time, most
of the time you're staring at a dud. And the
Patriots need stars, they need star power. They don't have that.
(10:25):
They're a faceless, nameless roster. They don't have playmakers. And
you got a guy. Oh again, this guy's not the
most exciting guy Terry McLaurin, but he's an actual, real
life established number one. Why you and he can be
yours if the price is right. And as we have
(10:46):
preached from the bully pulpit here behind the powerful microphones
of Fox Sports Radio, it is my position that the
draft pick is a tool. They're not lucky charms. They're
not magically delicious. They're not you can eat them up,
you know, unless you can't, because there's not Physically there's nothing.
You can't eat them up, you can't hug them. They
(11:06):
don't win you games until they actually turn into proven players.
It's like planning the seeds for some vegetables and then saying, well,
I'm going to enjoy garlic, and I'm gonna get some
you know, some PE's over here and some different things.
But no, because it doesn't guarantee that stuff's gonna grow.
All it does is give you the hope, often a
(11:28):
false hope, that it's going to turn out to be
an established player. And give me the player. Now, I
would rather have two years of Terry McLaurin than a
number two pick in next year's draft. I would. I
would give me the player McLaurin would be for the Patriots.
He would be a booster rocket is what he would be.
(11:49):
And he would help establish Drake May, who is still
teetering on the brink. Is he gonna be good? Does
he suck? He'd sucked last year, but he showed signs.
So you put McLaurin out there, and Drake May goes
from maybe it'll be something to oh, we got a
number one guy. We got a number one guy. McLaurin.
(12:12):
To use a food analogy is like a delicious smash burger,
and would you rather have the smash burger or the
draft pick? Now, the draft pick is like a pot
luck dinner at a church, but it's in the basement
of the church. Now, that could be great, and it
(12:32):
could be slop. It could be slop, it could be
just canning. There's always people that go to these pot
luck things and they don't put any effort into it,
and they just like a can of corn and they
put that out there and that's all you have. But
McLaren would, certainly in theory, speed up the process or process,
and it always I don't believe in rebuilding anyway. The
(12:53):
patriots are screwed. They have no choice. They're in the
middle of this thing, this monstrosity. So you don't sit
around for five years twiddling your thumbs and saying, well,
we'll get the quarterback this year. Next year we'll get
the offensive lineman. The following year will get some playmakers.
That's not the way any of this is supposed to work, right.
You draft the quarterback, You then provide some weaponry, some
(13:15):
actual talent. Look at Washington, they had the wide receiver already.
Last year they got the quarterback Jaden Daniels, and it
was great, worked out really well. It was like macaroni
and cheese. It worked out very well last year. Now
we'll have the same success. Probably not, but you give
Drake May in this little scenario, every chance, every chance
(13:39):
for it to work, and you find out whether or
not he's the guy or he's not the guy. And
if you go into the year with the crap that
the Patriots have a wide receiver, now maybe one of
those guys turns out you catch lightning in a bottle.
The chances that two or three of those guys and
another guy that's washed up a veteran turns out to
be good again, Come on, be realistic, all right. Now,
(14:02):
last thing. We go now to the global marketplace, and
the NFL is being wooed. They're getting those puppy dog
guys from the person named Peter Mandelsson. Who the f
is Peter Mandelson who we are told that he is
(14:24):
the British ambassador to the US. I'm sure Terry in
England knows exactly who he is. So Peter Mandelssohn says
that he is making a full throated effort to bring
the Super Bowl across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom. Question,
(14:47):
what do you think of the scenario where a super
Bowl is played in Europe? So this would be a
disgrace in my book, until every city in America that's
wanted to host a super Bowl was given the opportunity,
(15:08):
and even then I think it's a bad idea. To me,
this is a sacred event. It's the last thing we
have left where everyone in the age of social media
rallies around. Now. I realize that it's not perfect, and
there's way too many commercials and the halftime show normally
blows at the Super Bowl. I get all that, but
(15:29):
the NFL. This is just the NFL drunk on its
own branding. And just because you sold out Wembley Stadium
when the Jaguars came to town, we congratulations suddenly you want
to give the Brits a super Bowl, Like are you
out of your bloody mind? Like what are you doing?
(15:52):
And what we have? I know there are real NFL fans.
We have some that listen to the show that because
we're on during the daytime hours and in England and
so we have people that listen. I know they've been
pen pals of mine and sent me correspondence over the
years and they listen every day and they're at work
and they have real jobs, and like Terry and England,
I use him as an example because he's very interactive
(16:13):
with the show. And so there are some diehards, right,
And I would argue that half of the people consuming
American football in London think that the nickel coverage is
a currency exchange. They have no idea, like they're just
showing up. They don't know what the hell's going on.
(16:33):
And I've also heard from a lot of the people
that have attended these games that the NFL busses in
military families that they're American veterans or whatever people in
the service that are bussed in that if they took
away that they wouldn't sell out those games, like it's
a bit of a misleading thing, at least what I've
(16:56):
been toughing as I understand it, where there's a lot
of military families that are bust in from the bases around,
you know, within reasonable driving distance of the stadiums in
London and the other places they play the games, and
they bust them in and they have a captive audience.
The NFL Super Bowl is not for us. It's not
(17:16):
for me, it's not for you. It's a corporate crowd
that goes to the Super Bowl. We're allowed as peasants,
were allowed to go to the lead up, like I've
been to Radio Row a few times and I've done that,
which is cool, it's fine, you know whatever. And they
have a big gift shop that they can over price
merchandise and sell it to you. But the logistics of
(17:38):
a Super Bowl, it's not only the fifty three players,
the sixteen player practice squad, the twelve coaches, the eight trainers,
the seventeen massage therapists. It's the families. It's everything, the
entire entourage that has to travel to the end. But
then you have the sponsors. You get them there. I've
got the friends, friends and family, got to get them there,
(18:00):
they got to travel. It's like it's like a Coldplay
tour in but no, it's the Super Bowl. No, I'm
not even gonna worry about time zones and jet lag.
And I think a lot of that stuff is overblown,
especially for the Super Bowl, because you got two weeks off.
You'd go to wherever the game's being played in the
United Kingdom and you'd be there for a week and
(18:20):
your body would adjust. And I'm not worried about the
pound and the euro and all that. I'm not worried
about any of that stuff. Uh. And on the NFL
is like, well, we want to grow the game and
all this stuff. That's fine. Send send all the preseason games.
I would like to represent the fan. Let's get every
NFL exhibition game for the rest of my life to
(18:42):
be played in foreign countries. I am all for it, right.
I'll even send them that Pro Bowl that for Gayze
or for Gazi, the tic tac toe thing they do.
I'll send that volleyball NFL Volleyball boom done. I'll even
send Roger Goodell in a suit, remember when Barstool put
them in the clown nose, And I'll do that. I'll
(19:03):
send them over there the super Bowl though, No, that's good,
even though I will never be able to afford to attend.
And I'm not a media elite. I don't do a
daytime show, so I'll never be able to get in
there as a media member. I'll never attend a Super Bowl.
I'm fine with that. Just keep it around, Just keep
it around, moving around, rotate it. You do the Las
Bay area, Miami, New Orleans, you get this rotation. I'm
(19:28):
throw in some other cities. I'm fine with that. All right.
It is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like
to be part, you can join us right now at
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. We'll take

and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Maler shall
right listen Vegas. This said at a three to five
steak out bar and gross right here, UNLB, Ben Maller,
Loreina Cooper Loop do a little meet and greet one
day only. You want to schmooze, you want to hang out.
That's it. One day, No gimmicks, no bs. The great
(21:00):
thing about the Malad Militia in person is you've got
really rich people, really successful people, and you've got people
that have nothing, I mean, living on the streets, homeless dudes.
The last one we did, we had an executive at
Bally what was it, Bollagio. There was an executive from
(21:21):
the Bolagio who was at the event. We also had
a person that swims in the fountains at the Bolagio
because he's homeless at the event. You don't get that
at any other radio bit so our appearance or anything
of that. So Mala Malitia in person, put the kids away,
tell your wife you're going out for groceries or something
(21:42):
like that. Come have some fun Vegas, will see you
on Saturday. Check it out. All right, back to it
we go as we gap. Yeah, the now morning hours away.
We have more to the story, more to the story.
So there's a story the other day that the Arizona
Diamondbacks were preparing to trade could tell Marte all star
(22:06):
level ballplayer, could tell Marte is like, well, they didn't
like his attitude. Well, now we've gotten the rest of
the story. And it turns out that the reason his
name all of a sudden popped up in trade rumors
is because could tell Marte. He went home to the
Dominican Republic after the All Star break, which would not
(22:30):
have been a problem if he had not stayed in
the Dominican Republic and missed some games because he wanted
to you know, home cooking, you know, mama's home cooking.
I get it, but he got a job to dude, dude,
and yeah, so he apparently stayed in the Dominican and
he missed a couple of games and the team covered
for him. What idiot. So he's addressed the media. He
(22:53):
said before the game on Monday that his priority is
to play hard and win games for the Diamondbacks. And this,
of course, he did not say his priorities to show
up to all the games. All right, that's uh, he says.
He went a wall. It's just like went awell. That's it,
all right, let's go unexcused absence. He went to awell.
(23:14):
Let's go to the phones. Eenie meanie, miny moe. Let's
say hello to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello, blind Emmett, Welcome.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Big Ben Malor how you doing.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Live in the dream? Live in the dream? Blind him?
And what's new with you? You're all growing up now, right,
you're all grown up? Look at you?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, I'm own now, I'm unstatus as the kid say,
even though I'm a kid. Hey like I like he
did the Steve Hartman there, Live in the dream.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
That's right, Live in the dream. Me and Steve Hartman one, Well,
he's living more of a dream than I am. But sure, yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Steve Hartman's had a hell of a life. But I
want to talk about Terry mcclaurran, Ben, because I think
you're spot on with this, and if you're the Washington commanders,
there's two things I gotta say. First off, you do
not want Deebo Samuel as you're at number one receiver.
Second Off, if you're gonna pay scary Terry, you gotta
do it right now because it's going to be like
a three year contract and you got to think what
(24:11):
is Jane Daniels going to ask for in three years?
I mean, we got guys making sixty million dollars. It's
not crazy to say that Jane Daniels contract could be
sixty five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So how about eighty million a year? How about that?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
The crazy part is here you might not be wrong,
and that's just the inflation of the quarterback market and
it ast go up from there.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Dynam it. They survived the pandemic. I thought for sure
when there were no games and then they are empty
stadiums or whatever, like, wow, that'll kill that'll kill it.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
But that just proves to me, Ben, how rich the
NFL is And that kind of leads me to my
next point where we're talking about the super Bowl going
to London. It's so stupid, man, and something I think
we need to look at more. This is like an
American holiday for the people right here, Ben, This is
like Fourth of July type say.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Man, we stand for the people me and blind hm,
but we stand for the people. That's America, maybe America America,
or at least North America. At least keep it in
North America.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Yeah, North America.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I could put up with Mexico City or Vancouver.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah yeah, yeah. And I think too. A lot of
it that we kind of forget about is not only
is the NFL making a boatload of money with this,
we got the super Bowl, like travel expenses, hotels through
the roof.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Right through the roof, that's all a tax roof, that's
all a tax ride off. Though they'll say, like I
think you got.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
You got how much money the city is making though,
like as a whole, Like if you're an American city owner,
like so let's say you own like a.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Bar and grill.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And I don't know, I'm always wanting the super Bowl.
I know I'm always skeptical about those figures. I think
they're they making them up. I don't think they're legit.
I don't believe that they make money. I'm not saying
they don't make money, but I don't believe the amounts
of money. Like I've been to the last couple of
Super Bowls, like the ones out West, and there were
a lot of people there, but it didn't seem like
(25:59):
it was any more than the times I've been to
those cities in the past.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
So well, yeah, they're probably charging like fifty two dollars
for a hot dog.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
At the price price gouging, like the parking the price
gouging for stuff like that is next level.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Even at minor league baseball games. It's like I was
at a Rainiers game last weekend. Beer eleven dollars, hot
dog nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's not right. Come on, blind naman wants to have
a beer and a hot dog should not be I
do love that. That's ridiculous. You can Minor league baseball
supposed to be family friendly, affordable, fun, the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Yeah, exactly, and they have they're advertising all these specials. Oh,
come on Tuesday and you get a hat and a
shirt for twenty three bucks. It's like, okay, but you're
gonna have to spend more than twenty three bucks unless
you eat before the game. So yeah, win something loose.
I guess I mean you should get a hat or
a shirt.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
All right, hold on, somebody wants to talk to you.
Hold on a second. All right, Blind, we got who
do you think it is? You want to think?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
I guess i'd be a rich man here.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Because it's Scott.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
All right, let's see random caller. You're on the air,
Random caller, Hello.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Dude, that call absolutely sucks. You don't talk contract and
money on the radio. Nobody cares about contracting numbers, dude.
And then you're.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Talking about the Super Bowl, what city it's.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Going to be in, and how it's gonna lose money
if it doesn't be there.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Dude, you have no clue.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You've never left your mom's basement.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Oh my god, this is this is the blind attacking
the blind here. How do you respond here, blind blind
to this attack from blind Scott.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
First off, never leaving my mom's basement is crazy, man,
I mean, you're you're on there on the Twitter machine
asking for money, bar and Scott. And second off, if
we didn't care about contract situations. Why the hell would
Big Ben bring it up? Why would he open the
phone talk about it?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Would be asked to put money on Twitter? Have anything
to do? You live with your mom's basement if you're.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Going to talk, because if I.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Burden four hour podcast every day, dude, go have sex.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Fifty viewers a night, and you guys euro because he didn't.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
No. I thought he was worth a lot of money.
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
I hear he makes a lot of money. There's a
lot of controversy behind him.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
That's really Is he a fraud, mister beast? I don't
know who he is. I mean, I've seen his stuff,
but I don't really know.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
There is there is an argument going out there that
he is, but it's just like controversy around his team.
It's kind of interesting. I mean, if you look up
mister Beef more mister Beef, drama on it will it will,
It will give you a whole bunch of articles here.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
All right, bar got in the time here, I must
hang up on you. You're stealing all the time. All right,
thank you the great blind damnit. Let's say hello to
Mike in New Hampshire. Hello, Mike, welcome, honk k hawk. No,
there it is there, it is.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
Look.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I originally wanted to call up and I wanted to
talk about mclaura and the commanders and the patriots.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
But then you've got that dumb ass that comes on
the phone, Blind Scott.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I'm still trying to figure out which personality he comes
on with on a daily basis.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
That guy needs a swirly again.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, all right, and we'll calm down here, take a
take a breath. Well, Blind Scott, definitely not a version.
I think we we know he's not a vergent. Definitely
not there. He needs help, he needs n't he doesn't
need Jesus. He's got overnight talk radio. That's what he needs.
A little overnight sports radio, Isn't that right, Blind Scott?
(30:01):
You found overnight talk radio.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Dude, this guy is such a fright.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
He could come down in front of poll but I
would knock every one of his teeth outs. He is
such a clown man.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
All right, Uh Mike, he's challenged you to some kind
of violence there, Mike in New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Yeah, but the thing is is he's blind. You can't
see anything anyway, So.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right here, skioll point, you could like you could do
like superhero stuff against fighting. If you lost to a
blind guy in a fight, you just and that you'd
have to move. You're you'd have to move to a
different state.
Speaker 7 (30:34):

Look at that?
Speaker 9 (32:11):
Can I give a compliment to blind damage? That was

rip blind Scott. That's why you're doing I didn't.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
I didn't even say anything.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's you're praising blind Emmy. It was a fine call,
