hundred years old, three hundred years old. Can you tell

(03:19):
out a previous hours conversation. He says, the sheer volume
of spiders that by weight that I have murdered, would
rip a hole in the space time. Continuing, he says
he has four daughters and he has spent a lot
of his life as an assassin of the spider. I'm
sure you have work. I'm sure you have all right now. Meanwhile,
our lead this hour from the NFL and the schedule release,
(03:42):
I am not going to rehash that we did a
full Mallard monologue earlier. You can go back and hear
the podcast if you are so interested in my riveting
thoughts on the schedule announcement are lead this hour though
from the Angry Birds Angry Angry Birds. There are mixed
reviews around the NFL schedule came out and all that.
But Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Is it true that there
(04:06):
is a possibility that he ends up getting traded out
of the Delaware Valley? Some think that is the case
of polarizing According to an AFC executive and noticimately giving
this quote out, said of Jalen Hurts polarizing player and
as his running ability starts to decline, his value will
decline too, and then said that Howie Roseman will always
(04:30):
be proactive with finding solutions, et cetera, et cetera. Right, So,
who knows if that's actually a real quote or I
just exact anonymous executive. We'll just pretend it's real. So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question where are we at on Jalen Hurts and
his career timeline with the Hey Gee, l e Engles,
(04:54):
So I've got Zillow tied and Old Spice a big
hour for brands that We're going to combine all of
these things together, and we're going to have a big
pile of the Gabba ghoul, and then we'll mix in
some Baba ganoosh as well to lead off them right
or to kick off if you look in the app
(05:18):
store on your phone and you look at the calendar
app right there, we have officially reached the part of
the season where Philly decides whether Jalen Hurts is still
a franchise quarterback or just a high priced lifestyle choice.
Like that, the numbers don't lie. They're not pretty for
(05:38):
Jalen Hurts. We've talked about this in previous episodes of
the show. The passing attack in Philadelphia. The passing offense
was ranked twenty third in the league in twenty twenty five.
The bottomed out in the year prior. In twenty twenty four,
they were thirtieth in the NFL. Even though they had
some tremendous success, it was not because of Jalen Hurts.
And it's just not an elite unit in despite having
(06:03):
some elite offensive playmakers. They're gonna get rid of by
all accounts. Aj Brown is headed to the Patriots, so
he'll be out of there. And the downward spiral has
been with the passing offense. And so we are living
in what we call the Jalen Hurts paradox. He is
at this point in time as we do the show today,
(06:23):
and we only have today to worry about. Today's show
is the most important show. Jalen Hurts the paradox of
Jalen Hurts. He is simultaneously the face of the franchise
in Philadelphia and the guy most likely to be playing
his final season in Philadelphia after AJ Brown is let oh.
Howie Roseman is quietly browsing replacements on his phone, futzing
(06:48):
around there, kind of like checking Zillow during the anniversary dinner.
And Hurts is not a blue chip stock. You could
argue he never was a blue chip stock. He's certainly
not anymore. He's more like a shaky crypto coin with
a weird name, a pump and dump if you will.
(07:08):
And the chart is too fair. You look at the
chart a little bit, it's too terrifying to fully open it.
And if you keep it real quarterbacks built on being
a dual threat guy like Jalen Hurts, they generally don't
get better at age twenty eight or whatever he is.
By running less, they get exposed, like once the legs
(07:30):
go the truth shows up. And the truth is the
Eagles have been playing hide the quarterback for years. Has
it been working? Absolutely one hundred percent. They won a
super Bowl, they got to the other super Bowls that
They've had success in this run, a lot of success.
The other thing about is Howie Roseman does not strike
me as a sentimental type. And he's the kind of
(07:53):
guy that would trade his own shadow if his shadow
stopped producing the proper shadow effect. And in Philadelphia, Philadelphia
is keeping it real if it's still the town that
it's always been. You don't get grace periods like there's
no countdown clock saying okay, here's the countdown. You have this. No,
this isn't a fork in the road with Jalen Hurts,
(08:17):
I look at it more like a trap door. It's
a prove it or packet situation. Tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick, but no no actual countdown the clock.
It's just ticking down. And then do you cut the
red or the blue? And then if you cut the
wrong one, it goes called boom, just like that. I meanwhile,
(08:38):
we go down, we stay in Pennsylvania. We go across
the state though Western Pennsylvania. A lot of recent chatter,
and you know, I love chatter. I always have irons
in the fire when it comes to chatter. This is
about the future of the wattage in the land of
the ins Ors. So TJ. Watt signed a massive extension
(09:00):
the Grand old Man TJ. Watt before last season. One
hundred and twenty three million over three years, big cap number.
You know, you know how I feel about the cap,
So you look at that. There's also the emergence of
some of the younger defensive players for the Pittsburgh Steelers
who got opportunities last year, and that has led to
recent trade chatter heading into the final stages of the offseason.
(09:26):
Worth the schedule part. We have some mini camps and
then before you know it, training camp will open up
in July. It was also the second wave of players
getting whacked and late salary dump. That'll create some conversation.
So the Steelers, we know the situation in Pittsburgh regarding
their They haven't officially brought Aaron Rodgers back. It's going
(09:50):
to happen. He was in town, but he didn't meet
with the team or did he I don't know, hasn't
signed on the dotted line. But let's focus in on TJ. Watt.
So the question, give me the ACU weather forecast for
the Steelers career of TJ. Watt, one of the great
defensive players in this generation in the NFL. So the
(10:11):
the ACI weather forecast. And I actually used our old
buddy Robert of the bus driver. I used his his
Mexican Doppler two thousand. He left it behind when he
became a glamorous bus driver. So it shows the forecast
you're cloudy with a strong chance of trade wins. My
doubler don't work. Well, you told me it worked, ROBERTI
(10:33):
you left it. My doubler don't work. Okay, Well I'm
using anyway is visiting a vacation town known as Splitsville. TJ.
Watt at this particular point, because you look at it
the Steelers, the whole legacy thing. That's great, you know,
raw Rah, one of the all time grades. But you're
not really really there in Steeler lore unless you're part
(10:59):
of a Super Bowl winning team that has not happened.
And they love your legacy right up until the point
where it starts costing you. Like forty million a year,
and you know, you don't quite get around like you
used to. And now am I sitting here behind these
microphones and telling you that I believe TJ. Watt is
completely washed. Not yet, not yet, but based on what
(11:23):
we saw last season, he's entered what I call the
tide portion of his career. He's at the phase now
it's called the gentle cycle, and that's not generally great.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, you need a.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Little extra tide there. Write that on the write that
down when you go shopping, and put that on the
gentle cycle on the washing machine. The burst was not
quite the same. The sack totals dip. There are many games.
He was just a spectator, Watt, and you know the
father father time right stretching the little stretching there, there's
(11:57):
also a large woman stretching her vocalds as well, warming up,
trying to get ready to sing. Now, all that said,
I definitely want to point out, is this because of
the salary cap. The chatter that's popped up recently about
the Steelers being in a fork in the road with TJ. Watt. No,
it is not because of the salary cap. I don't
believe the smin The salarycap is the NFL's owners. It's
(12:20):
their favorite dog whistle, is what it is. If Watt
was still a wrecking ball during games like he was
from twenty nineteen and a couple years after that, nobody
in Pittsburgh, nobody would care that the contract was big.
They said, well, he's worth the contract. The Steelers are
quietly rehearsing we will always appreciate everything TJ has done
(12:45):
for this organization in the city and the old thing,
that whole speech. They're practicing it right now. They've actually
gotten written up on AI behind closed doors. So if
Pittsburgh gets off to a bad start, which didn't always
happen like Mike Tomlin, they were always a competitor, who
knows with Mike McCarthy. So Pittsburgh does go sideways, get
(13:10):
a rumbley tumbly. Then Watt suddenly becomes the most expensive
for sale sign in that portion of Pennsylvania before the
trade though, like his contract is not. It's not backloaded,
booby trapped and all that stuff. But again with the
emergence of some of these younger guys and they got
to get paid, it makes sense, but it's not because
(13:30):
of the contract he earned the contract. He's just not
earning it right now. They paid him for past results,
not future performance, and that's always the issue. They get
all swept up with the dopamine of keeping TJ watt
and there you go. All right. Last thing to Jacksonville.
A story that came out based on the NFL schedule.
(13:52):
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been described as unrecognizable, if you
agree or not, his new drastic look. Did he get
a face tattoo Trevor Lawrence?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
What did he do? Did he poke out his eyeball?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
He did not. Turns out very drastic. This is how
great we are at sports talk radio. Trevor Lawrence got
a new haircut. Yeah, we are now breaking down a
man's haircut. Why are we doing that? Because in order
to hype up the NFL schedule, Jacksonville social media posted
a detailed video at claimed to show Trevor Lawrence getting
(14:36):
a haircut. They also posted after photos to help celebrate
the season schedule release. Always a big day. It's right
up there with my birthday and the holidays at the
end of the whole thing. So anyway, Trevor Lawrence, it
would appear based on what we've seen that he did
chop off his signature long hair. It's gone, He's see
(14:59):
you late, get out of here, Bye bye, all right. Question,
how do you process the hullabaloo over Jags quarterback Trevor
Lawrence and his trip to the barber shop. So did
the Jags front office order the chop or did Trevor
just like wake up, tired of the Disney Prince comparisons
(15:22):
that he's been getting and all that. And it's very odd.
There was a satire account that posted photos a month
ago Trevor Lawrence getting a haircut, and that wasn't real.
This like it actually happened. When life becomes art or
in this case, art becomes life either way, I gotta
(15:43):
tell you, I think it's an upgrade, you know, And
I am masculine enough I can judge another man's appearance,
and as an ugly overnight radio guy, I know ugly,
and he looked very ugly with the long hair. To me,
he looks better. Trevor Lawrence not my type, but regardless,
it doesn't doesn't. It's just an odd situation to me.
It doesn't improve anything. It's like, and of course not,
(16:05):
it's just hair. You know, it's just I guess one
thing it does the haircut is it lowers the old
spice shampoo budget because you don't need as much shampoo
if you're Trevor Lawrence. Can we please stop pretending like
his hair was his superpower. I don't think this is
a Sampson situation for Trevor Lawrence. Like this is just
(16:28):
a quarterback who finally realized that expensive conditioner isn't the
same thing as I guess, leadership in the huddle or
getting it done in a big game. He's coming off
a breakthrough regular season that in the end I have
not forgotten Duvall County, Trevor Lawrence ended up in the
(16:49):
VIP section of the vomit comet at the end there.
So all right, well, I guess we'll focus on the
hair and all that. Trust me, the arm works the
same without the flowing locks and all that. Cutting the
signature hair does not fix the absolute fur ball that
Trevor Lawrence coughed up there with the mistakes against the
(17:09):
Buffalo Bills and a very winnable game for Jacksonville in
the playoffs. And you look at how that all shook
down and how it was right there for Jacksonville to
end up in the AFC Championship game until it wasn't
until it went the other way. All right, is the
Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to be part,
(17:30):
you can chop in and the slo or dropping or
chopping if you want either way, whatever floats your boat
here with pinpoint accuracy at eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. For those of you, many of you I
met who came out to our events at Boston and
in Worcester over the weekend, we thank you. We mentioned
this earlier. I'll have a big podcast later today, the
fifth hour podcast will go over a lot of the
(17:53):
fun stories of meeting you and how great it was.
And some of you, guys, you worked all night you
came out to hang out with us, so are all day.
Some of you worked during the day listening to the podcast,
and from everybody you know working on bridges and picking
up trash and keeping track of loved ones so they
they stay healthy and doing all that important stuff. We
(18:14):
thank you guys for coming out and hanging out with
us for a little bit. We had a good time
and hopefully we'll be back there soon and do it
all over again. So we mentioned Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence
in that situation. By the way, eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox, we got a line open eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six nights, so we
mentioned Jacksonville. They went viral for their Trevor Lawrence haircut.
(18:37):
Tennessee was great. The Titans just recorded would appear to
be random people on the streets of Nashville and compared
them to NFL personalities. Well, there's another team that's been
accused of putting the vood doo boogaloo on themselves. Is
it true that an NFL franchise has put the vood
doo boogaloo on their own franchise? But something they did
(19:01):
over the schedule release. We'll look at the evidence. We'll
get to that, and we will do it next.

I can put yeah, because I have an idea of
what I want to do.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Okay, you have an idea. I'm very exciting. All right,
Well we'll do that. We mentioned. Is it true an
NFL team putting the voodoo bugaloo on themselves. We'll get

Speaker 8 (22:44):
And you know my kids.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
You did a nice video for them.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
They came back.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
They won the contest for the best school play in
New England, not only the state of New England. To me,
no Mormon, no more mentioned, no more mention of Ben
Maller or Coop or anybody.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
They're done.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That sounds like a reasonable request from a child to
a father that they're so tired of hearing. I mean,
talk about something else. You know they're into. They're not
in sports your kids, right, they're in the piano and
things like that. You know, I'm thinking, yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Correct sir, yes, anyway, keep I want to talk to
Marcel eventually. But anyway, Lorena doesn't have jet lag.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
She has leprechaun leg.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh that yeah, you guys are shockingly We were all surprised.
We thought for sure there'd be a dust up here,
we'd have to protect Lorena from the leperfield. But you
guys seem to me, I don't know, all over.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
You And just like that, he's back off the air.
I cannot have him speak like that. God forbid, I'd
be nice to the man. God forbid, i'd be nice
to the man. Make sure I'm never nice again. Okay,
who was standing close to me and all those pictures him?
Speaker 11 (23:55):
Kama.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I will explain when years ago I had a woman
splain to me that the reason women in America never
give eye contact to men is because if they do,
then the men will think they're you know, you know
what I mean like that.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
So I mean, at this point, you don't make eye
contact and you're still interested.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
Oh you're shy. They're intimidated by me.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh my god, you know what. You can't look at me?
Next time I see you're getting kicked in both of
your shins. I feel like the this is a personal
issue for both of you women that brea is this
cuts close to home. I'm just saying. But all right, Well,
Mike the leper Con, congratulations the first show back. You've
(24:41):
already pissed off everyone, so way to go. We're very
proud of you. Let's go to Danny de Vito, America's
favorite trash man, the man, the myth, the legend. Hello,
the great Danny DeVito.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Then what's going on?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Welcome back, and I'm just giving you a call.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So it was very nice feting all three. You all
three were very nice.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
So a holes? Were you? Were you hoping we would
be a holes and schmucks?
Speaker 9 (25:07):
And uh, you never know?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
When you I was sure it's about all three years
so you never know. I figured that you were a
nice guy. I didn't know about the other two, but
I was very.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
Impressed with those two.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
We justin and mits Fetus and that. So I was
very impressed with all three years. It was a good time.
Last Saturday night, I didn't know the Weedman was there.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Was he there? No, he was, you know he was.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He was invited and then he didn't show me. I
gotta tell you, Danny, I don't think I got a
photo on my phone with you. You're one of the people.
There were a few of you guys that I thought
I got a photo with just about everybody, but you,
I took a picture with you. I didn't get a
photo with you. And people were asking you. They were
busting my balls. They were like, well, where's the picture
(25:51):
of Danny? DeVito said, I didn't get I don't.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Know where it is.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I can't find it, so I don't know. I don't
know why I didn't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I got one of you, so I know you on
X there and then I got one Sports Day for you.
I was listening to the show on Monday and Tuesday
they with Brian Knowen. I'm so tired of people Anthony Edwards.
Ben stop comparing Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
To Michael Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
He's not even on the same plan. I think you
agree with that. Michael Jordan is the top three athlete
in general of all time. It's not even close. Ben,
not close Edwards, I agree.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But the issue is, like, you know, you're always doing
the comparison thing. You know how it works. Danny in
the media is well, this guy's but yeah, Anthony Edwards
is a fine player. Michael Jordan changed the culture and
the generation and the entire the direction of the NBA
in his day. Anthony Edwards has done none of that.
He's zero zip.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Bo is exactly right. Yeah, he's Ben, He's a very
good player, but he's not He's not even. It's not
even close. I mean, Michael Jordan's is Michael Jordan. And
then you know the rest of everybody else, right.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
A product and Dan, as you know, it was a
product of when Jordan played and just before social media
and all that and the Nike marketing him and everything.
But he backed it up. He backed it up. He
talked to talk and walked the walk and the whole thing.
And that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
So he backed it up definitely, and he had sick
to rings to prove that one. Are you guys gonna
show up again here with the next year bought again?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
We'll try to do it every year. I love Boston.
You guys have been great to the show. You've supported
the show, and I'd love to come back there and
do it again. Thank you, Dany Well me, I will
be back there. I've done like three or four of
these though in Boston, so we've done a lot to
thank you. The great Danny de Vito, such a nice yea.
I loved meeting him. He was great. Danny was great.
Hit the black outfit on it, the chain, the whole.
(27:45):
I love the look he was styling and profiling.
Speaker 11 (27:49):
He has a very serious face in the photos too.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
They're all like yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not messing around.
He's like, hey, listen, I'm Danny. We named Danny Vito
and you at his age, you know, he grew up Danny,

a hot take on the schedule? Did's a bunch of
grites about Buffalo?
Speaker 8 (30:12):
You know, most of UPFL teams when they build a stadium,
especially when they have to put a ton of tax
payer of dollars in like we did in Buffalo. You know,
we're not stupid in Buffalo. We we know we're not
going to get a super Bowl. We know we're probably
not going to get an NFL Draft. So hook us
up with Week one against you know, a good opponent.
You know what I'm saying at home. You know, don't
(30:32):
make us go on the road and hook us up
with like the Patriots or something. Nope, we go on
to we go on the road. Right, And I looked
it up.

holiday games unless your desk or you know, unless it's
like a ritual or you're really good, and you know,
if you're a family man, it's hard to like pay
attention all that. You know, it's always on. But the
two games I've been looking forward to this this whole
season is Denver rematching Casey. Always look forward to that.
Casey and Buffalo always gets the first or second most
(31:06):
of all the regular seasons. It was the fourth watch
game last year. Second in regular season. They put they're
putting that on Thanksgiving. Not necessary. You can put anything
on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (31:16):

It's not I mean, put it on a different time.
It's not necessary. These are You're gonna get eyeballs on
those days.
Speaker 1 (31:31):

franch And they open up with the Texans right on
the road. Is that correct?
