Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh maha, oh maha, oh mah. We call an audible.
It's our nab or far the Hour of Love. Jordan Love,
the quarterback there in Green Bay, questioning the belief that
he regressed with the Packers last season. What is your
verdict on this one. Also, the Patriots are now saying
(00:21):
that they have no plans to release Stefawn Diggs after
the controversial yacht video, despite reports saying they were thinking
about releasing him. How does that sound to you and
what do you think he told Stefan Diggs Mike Rabel
about the video and that pink baggie of rock Candy
and the bikini ladies on the boat in Miami. Also,
(00:44):
Lion Center Frank ragnow retiring. He's only twenty nine, retiring
here in early June. Is that fair or foul? We'll
talk about that as well. Surprising news from the Transaction
wire here It just have a wonderful Tuesday. It's our
number four. Feeling the love or in this case, not
(01:09):
feeling the love. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
musket tears of audio as we kill with skill coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and unforgettably powerful microphones of fs are. We are emanating
(01:35):
live from the theater, the theater of the Absurd, from
the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Ripman and
also the notorious Eugene in Chicago. This portion of the
Ben Malord Show made possible in part by ti Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
(01:58):
ship fast and for her back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
act dot Com, the Way Tire Buying Show. So our lead,
this hour, Our lead, this hour is from the land
of cheese, the frozen tundra which is not frozen this
(02:19):
time of the year. Still chili, but not not frozen.
So Packer's quarterback Jordan Love has heard the noise. He's
heard the noise, He's heard the chatter, the conversation that
he has regressed. He is not the upstart darling of
the NFL young quarterback contingent, as his second season, his
(02:44):
second full season as quarterback there with the Green Bay
Football team, did not go all that. Well, at least
that is the narrative. Now he's he's pushing back, pushing back, now,
push it back, he's pushing back against that. He does
not agree. Did you hear what he said recently? Perhaps not?
(03:04):
Perhaps you did not hear what Jordan Love said. So
Jordan Love, like a snapping turtle, responded to the criticism
by saying, what is a step back? With a question mark?
What is a step back? It's all about the goals
of the team. It's all about the goals of the
team at the end of the day, apparently not the
(03:26):
start of the day, but the end of the day.
Quote continues, Jordan Love said, I'd say we won more
games than we did the year before. That's why I
asked people, what is a step back? All right now?
Close quote. The Packers did win eleven games in twenty
twenty four compared to just nine wins in twenty twenty three.
(03:46):
So there is that. And you might remember the highlight
of the Jordan Love era an absolute ass kicking of
the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry's Fun Zone in Texas. So
let us discuss the question Jordan Love questioning the popular
opinion by popular people that he regressed with the Packers
(04:10):
last season. What is your verdict on this one. So
my verdict, I've got quantum physics, cause play, and home depot,
and we will combine all of these things together. We're
gonna make some cheese fondu and with a side of
Baba ganoosh for old Man River a side of Baba
(04:32):
ganush for old Man Rivers in Florida. So to kick off,
there is a bit of nuance. You're never supposed to
have nuance in sports radio. That's a word that should
not exist in sports radio. But there is nuance. Let
me explain. We cannot force this into a single box.
We cannot this particularly answer to this inquiry. The answer
(04:58):
is quantum physics. There are two two versions of reality
that exist at the same time, quantum physics. That's right,
you heard me, right, simultaneously true. Let me explain. So
it is true the Green Bay Packers did win more
games from year to year. They did increase their success rate.
(05:22):
And it is also true that Jordan Love was not
as good as he was the year they won fewer games.
Both those things are true. Now, what is my evidence?
So we've got the eyeball test, we've got the stat
test and we have just the general overall big picture
tests some thirty six thousand feet in the sky. So
(05:46):
Love missed many basic throws, rudimentary throws. Last season, he
had games where he looked like he had never played
quarterback before. Like they found him at a train station
and said, hey, how would you like the quarterback for
the Green Bay Packers. We'll give you a helmet with
some shoulder pads. He said, okay, I'll do it. You're
gonna pay me, I'll pay it. Okay, good, I'm gonna
(06:07):
go out there and play. And so this isn't about like,
I'm not hating on Jordan Love. Jordan Love is rather benign.
He doesn't get a reaction out of anyone. He's not
that interesting a sound bite. He plays for the Packers
in their community, owned them and all that. So it's
about keeping it real. So Jordan Love, he threw for
(06:30):
fewer yards, He had seven fewer touchdowns year to year
go year to year comps, had a lower completion percentage.
He had the same number of interceptions, however, and in
two fewer appearances from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty three.
(06:51):
So again, if you're a little slow. It's a weird
time of the morning or night, depending on where you are.
So fewer yards, seven fewer touchdowns, and had a lower
completion percentage, However, the same number of interceptings the regression.
It does not mean that Jordan Love now is a
their sheep blows type quarterback. Does not mean that. It
(07:14):
simply means, as the great Aristotle taught the world, that
water seeks its own level, and Love is settling in
to second tier, borderline third tier quarterback status that if
you look not at a list, because we don't do lists,
because Terry in England, a big fan of the show,
(07:34):
does not believe in list so and we do not either.
But on Big Ben's Big Board, Jordan Love is second tier,
and on the big board and then borderline third tier,
he's not anywhere near He can't even smell MVP contender,
can't smell it, cannot smell it all right now, Furthermore,
(07:56):
we have a follow up to the follow up to
the follow up dat line New England on this Patriots.
Patriots now have let their useful idiots in the media
know that they have no plans, no planes to say
bye bye to Stefan Diggs after multiple days of stories
trickling house, maybe we'll get rid of this guy. The
(08:20):
controversial yacht video which has been broken down frame by frame.
So how does that sound to you? All right? So
to me, as Mark Twain famously said, it's it's kind
of like the weather in the New England States. They
if you don't like the Stefan Diggs update, you just
(08:40):
wait a few minutes and there'll be a different update.
And that's how that's going to go. Stefan Diggs continues
to be a tinder box, not timber, a tinder box,
very framable. And I go back to the point we
made in a previous Mala monologue. The person that was
out there blabbing about the possibility of Stefan Diggs being
(09:02):
let go was Scott Zolac. Now, Scott Zolac was a
scrub NFL quarterback who is now a professional gas bag
and been that way for many, many years in Boston.
He's also a made man with the Patriots. He's in
the inner circle with Robert Kraft's Patriots. He does a
lot of the online stuff for the Patriots does at
least as far as I know, he still does it
with the Patriots website. So he's inside the building and
(09:26):
he was the one saying that they are considering getting
rid of Stefan Diggs. So it didn't come out of nowhere,
It came out of somewhere. And riddle me this batman,
what do you think Mike Rabel when he met with
Stefani's what do you think that Diggs told Mike Vrabel
about the video, the one with the pink baggie of
(09:49):
in air quotes rock candy because everyone in Miami who's
on a yacht with people wearing bikinis and whatnot there
they only use the rock candy. They don't use the
act well cocaine anyway. So educated guess, educated, guess that
Stefan Diggs said it was just a little bit of
(10:11):
role play, That's all it was. He was doing some cosplay.
He was the scar Face of the Sea, Stefan Diggs
with Cardi B. That kind of rhymes it Scarface of
the Sea with Cardi B. It flows. Wait till Stefan
starts holding team meetings. He's gonna get a party bus
because why not, and bring in Snoop Dogg. He can
(10:34):
be the DJ. He'll do anything. If you pay him,
and then a suitcase full of magical supplements will call
them and there'll be different colors and whatnot, and yeah,
it's good for business. Hey, I've said all along, guys
like Stefan Diggs. We need more of them, not less
of them. And it's not the football player Stefan Diggs,
(10:55):
because not really about football. It's about the Netflix docu
series with Stefan which is waiting to happen. It's waiting
to take place, the docu series behind the scenes with
Stefan Diggs. There have been some Internet rumors. I don't
know if they're sue or not, but I'll repeat them anyway.
Why not that there's some kind of there is some
kind of documentary that Digs is putting together. Anyway, last
(11:16):
thing to the Motown throw Down, Say what a heavyweight
contender in the National Football Conference has said bye bye
to one of their key players. That would be Detroit
center Frank Ragnow, four time Pro Bowler. Of course, the
(11:36):
Pro Bowl is tic tac tall at this point and
water balloon toss used to matter. Anyway, The Detroit center
Frank Ragnow has randomly decided to announce his retirement on
social media, the Lion Center and therefore very productive seasons
in Michigan. Frank Ragnow retiring here in early June, saying
(12:02):
I'm done. Is this fair or is this foul? Is
it fair or is it foul? So we've gone to
the booth review on this and we have determined the
arrow is pointing to foul capital f in fact, all
(12:22):
caps f o U L foul foul, foul foul. Now,
Frank Reraig, now, is it all pro?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Was?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I guess in past tense? Wasn't all pro? And was
an anchor of the offensive line, the the center and
the quarterback, the bond that they must have and supposedly
just elite. And you know, none of us actually watch
offensive linemen unless they sucked and then we goof on them.
It's not like we're paying attention to the offensively Noval
(12:52):
Horno bit I watched the offensive also lose there. I
played offensively. I was a star in high school offensive line.
Nobody pays attention to the offensive line anyway. So this
guy decides to walk away in early June, at age
twenty nine, What does that tell us? Well, this is
(13:13):
a dead give what it is a dead give way
that while Frank ragnow is good at football, or was
good at football. This was not a love story. It
was not. It was just a job, that's it. It
was not his life's passion. It was not a passion play.
(13:33):
And so he decided to go down the home depot
and to get some overhead screws and give them to
Dan Campbell. The old screw job pulled the rug right
out from underneath the coach and from the quarterback. And
while you certainly are entitled to retiring, you're not forced
to continue to play. Now is not the time. Now
(13:55):
is not the time, just like it wasn't the time
for the Colts back in the day when Andrew Luck
quit a couple weeks before the regular season. This is
not as bad, However, it's not much better, right Like
I understand, football is a brutal game. We get it.
It's bad decorm. Despite that, it's bad decorm. If you
(14:18):
knew that your body was telling you it's ov eer
okay ov er, that that's it, you likely knew that
when the Lions were exterminated by the Washington whatever they're
called now, So why wait until the very last second
to announce that this is the move you had the
(14:41):
entire officing. You had February of March. He had the April.
You had to May the whole thing. And timing does matter.
Timing matters on this because fair fair would have been
all right here, Let's let the front office know they
have time to replace you, that they could have rafted
your replacement, They could have made him move in a
(15:04):
trade or free agency. So you just don't do it.
And it's not fair to to anybody. It's a selfish
move to make this announcement at this particular time, and
especially the thing about the Lions, who are set up
now they have an excuse. The Lions are set up.
(15:24):
They are still one of the top teams in the NFC,
even though they lost Oh my god, their coordinators are gone. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. It's the players on the field, and
so they can. They're so close, these long suffering Lions fans.
The only time we used to watch the Lions when
I was a kid was on Thanksgiving. Why else would you?
And the Lions they're right there. They can almost taste
(15:46):
get into a super Bowl, and this is what happens,

dot com and do that right now, Let's go to
the toad old fan in Colorado. Hello toad old fan?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Hey Ben, how's it going? A couple of things? You know?
I agree with you as far as the you know whatever.
His name is the Center for the Lions.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Frank Rag Now, Frank Rag. Now he's retired. Frank did
you really retire when you're twenty nine years old? Don't
you have to do something?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And especially the timing? I agree with you this show
all right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So you you think I nailed you. I nailed that take.
That was a great take.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I had, oh, big time, big time, you know, all right,
the same thing. But you know, Ortiz, what you're talking about.
As far as saying it should be up to the player,
I'm sorry, you know, I don't believe the letter I
is in the word team, so dahn that also goes,
but it isn't.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I isn't winning.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, there you go. Yeah, totally agree, totally agree.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
All right, and congratulations the Rockies won a game. Big
big news there in Colorado. The Rockies won a game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh no, they've won ten. Well, let's see, they win
one out of very six. What the heck?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They win one out of I think they there where
they're two and they're two and nine. They're two and
nine their last eleven.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So yeah, but they're ten and fifty totals. So for
every one they win, they lose five.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that would be awesome. If the Rockies can get
to twenty and one hundred, I would watch every one
of their games. I would. If they can get to
twenty and one hundred, I'm in. I'll watch. They're unwatchable,
but I'll watch. That's great. I loves. Yeah, the worst way.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I guess you're a glutton for punishment.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Well, it's like to think that they're plausibly trying to
win baseball games, and that's the product they are.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think they are. I don't think they're tanking purposely,
but I'm sorry. You know, they need you know, between
Montfort you know. I mean, I know in the past
he's tried bringing in like Hampton people like that and
it didn't quite work out. But is there GM. The
people they're drafting as bad as they've done, you know,
and unless they're stuck in the minor leagues, it's like
it's not translating to a product on the field so far.
(25:29):
It's like, uh, yeah, I consider a new GM. You
already got rid of a Bud Black. Why not through
the GM Under the buzz here's.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
What they should do, seriously, just for fun, just have
open tryouts and sign someone and put them on the team.
Have like one roster spot and you can rotate it
every month and have somebody that wins a contest play
for the Rockies. You know, they give stuff away every
year at the end of the year. They have to
(25:59):
fit and appreciation weekend or day or whatever. They'll give
away a car or a boat or something like that,
give away a roster spot, just say hey, you can
actually we're so bad, you can get in it bat
or you can pitch to a batter and we'll give
you a contract for a month and then we'll designate
you for assignment. YEA a great deal. But you can
(26:22):
make it a Netflix docu series. Who says, no, it's
been a great idea.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, well, i'll tell you what. I can remember a
certain Rams quarterback that used to be like a soccer
in a grocery store. And what happened with his story?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, he's currently hanging out in the Hall of Fame.
All Right, I gotta go. But the you trendo's called
great voice, great voice, tremendous car go away. Now, this
is quite detail. A suspect who took a page out
of Taylor Swift's playbook. Yeah, so major League Baseball prospect
(26:58):
for the Red Sox, Roman Anthony, sounds like a god,
Roman Anthony, who's can't miss this guy's gonna hit blah
blah blah blah blah. So this video went viral reason.
I don't know if you saw this or that, but
he was trying to get out of the stadium. There
were a bunch of autograph hounds who were trying to
(27:19):
get his signature because they think he's gonna be a
big star and his autographs can be worth a lot
of money. And so he was trying to get out
of the stadium and he took a Taylor Swift like move.
What does that mean? Did he dress up like a woman?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
The team put him in an equipment cart and they
covered it with different items from the locker room, so
it looked like they were just pushing the cart out
of the locker room and all these dopes are standing
there with their Roman Anthony pictures and their their baseball
cards and all that, and they just pushed the cart
(27:58):
out and then when they get to the bus, they
pull all the different bags and all the different stuff
off the cart and then it's like a magic trick.
This guy Roman Anthony pops up and goes right in
the bus. He's escorted covertly like some kind of cloak
and dagger mission, and he gets on those and this
(28:19):
is the famous story that Taylor Swift. There was the
story that she got taken out of Arrowhead Stadium in
like a snack cart. That she squatted down on a
snack cart and that was the snaky that was the move,
and so why not? What the hell? But there's actually
(28:40):
a video of this, and on some level it's mildly impressive.
It's mildly impressive. It is that he pulled this off,
for sure. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
were working away through the overnight, I also saw this story.
I thought this was interesting because of the gambling element
to it. Remember when I was a young lad and
(29:01):
the WNBA started, and it was one of the most
hilarious stories that I can recall around that time. This
goes back to the nineties early two thousands. There were
some dudes that made a killing betting on the WNBA.
And the reason that they did is because the casinos
(29:25):
did not think that the WNBA is worth their time,
so they didn't really pay attention to to the teams
that were good, the players that were good. They didn't
really focus in on all the minutia that you need
to focus in on when you're setting lines and stuff
like that. So people took advantage of a blind spot
and they studied the WNBA and when no one was watching,
(29:46):
like still no one's watching today other than when Caitlin
Clark's playing, and they made a killing. So I bring
this up because there's a story that recently a bunch
of gamblers, this has gone viral. They have bent a
prop and they have won. It involves Angel Reese. I'm
told that's a female basketball player, not a good one.
So they've been betting that she will miss the first
(30:11):
shot that she takes, and they've been killing it this
season now. According to the store I was readden she
made her first shot for who can I mean, nobody
knows the names of these WNE teams anyway, whatever seams
she's playing for, she made the first shot of the
season opening game. Since then, the last five games, she
(30:32):
has missed the first shot five consecutive games. And you
can bet on that and chi ching chi ching to changing.
There's a bunch of videos of people celebrating, In fact,
one person claiming they bet as much as one hundred
thousand dollars that Angel Reese would miss.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Her her she's so bad.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Can you imagine betting one hundred thousand dollars though, that
Angel Reese would miss a Like, oh my god, It's
like people that bound a coin toss at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Has ever been an NBA equivalent to Angel Reese somebody
who like it seems like they're good because they they
get a bunch of rebounds, but really it's just because
they keep rebounding their own miss less.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh yeah, there's been players like that that, you know,
you clean up their own garbage, and uh yeah it was.
There's a guy named Larry Smith I think was his name,
played for like the Warriors in the eighties and nineties,
and he got a lot of rebounds, but I feel
like a lot of it was just in missing shots
that he just got his own. But she's, hey, maybe
(31:41):
I should get in on that. Let's see what we
get some action on that and get me to watch
the WNBS. Angel Rees miss her first shot one hundred grand.
Who knows if he actually did or not, but that's
what they're saying, one hundred thousand. Man. All right, here's

Oh maha, oh maha, oh mah. We call an audible.
It's our nab or far the Hour of Love. Jordan Love,
the quarterback there in Green Bay, questioning the belief that
he regressed with the Packers last season. What is your
verdict on this one. Also, the Patriots are now saying
(00:21):
that they have no plans to release Stefawn Diggs after
the controversial yacht video, despite reports saying they were thinking
about releasing him. How does that sound to you and
what do you think he told Stefan Diggs Mike Rabel
about the video and that pink baggie of rock Candy
and the bikini ladies on the boat in Miami. Also,
(00:44):
Lion Center Frank ragnow retiring. He's only twenty nine, retiring
here in early June. Is that fair or foul? We'll
talk about that as well. Surprising news from the Transaction
wire here It just have a wonderful Tuesday. It's our
number four. Feeling the love or in this case, not
(01:09):
feeling the love. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
musket tears of audio as we kill with skill coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and unforgettably powerful microphones of fs are. We are emanating
(01:35):
live from the theater, the theater of the Absurd, from
the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Ripman and
also the notorious Eugene in Chicago. This portion of the
Ben Malord Show made possible in part by ti Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
(01:58):
ship fast and for her back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
act dot Com, the Way Tire Buying Show. So our lead,
this hour, Our lead, this hour is from the land
of cheese, the frozen tundra which is not frozen this
(02:19):
time of the year. Still chili, but not not frozen.
So Packer's quarterback Jordan Love has heard the noise. He's
heard the noise, He's heard the chatter, the conversation that
he has regressed. He is not the upstart darling of
the NFL young quarterback contingent, as his second season, his
(02:44):
second full season as quarterback there with the Green Bay
Football team, did not go all that. Well, at least
that is the narrative. Now he's he's pushing back, pushing back, now,
push it back, he's pushing back against that. He does
not agree. Did you hear what he said recently? Perhaps not?
(03:04):
Perhaps you did not hear what Jordan Love said. So
Jordan Love, like a snapping turtle, responded to the criticism
by saying, what is a step back? With a question mark?
What is a step back? It's all about the goals
of the team. It's all about the goals of the
team at the end of the day, apparently not the
(03:26):
start of the day, but the end of the day.
Quote continues, Jordan Love said, I'd say we won more
games than we did the year before. That's why I
asked people, what is a step back? All right now?
Close quote. The Packers did win eleven games in twenty
twenty four compared to just nine wins in twenty twenty three.
(03:46):
So there is that. And you might remember the highlight
of the Jordan Love era an absolute ass kicking of
the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry's Fun Zone in Texas. So
let us discuss the question Jordan Love questioning the popular
opinion by popular people that he regressed with the Packers
(04:10):
last season. What is your verdict on this one. So
my verdict, I've got quantum physics, cause play, and home depot,
and we will combine all of these things together. We're
gonna make some cheese fondu and with a side of
Baba ganoosh for old Man River a side of Baba
(04:32):
ganush for old Man Rivers in Florida. So to kick off,
there is a bit of nuance. You're never supposed to
have nuance in sports radio. That's a word that should
not exist in sports radio. But there is nuance. Let
me explain. We cannot force this into a single box.
We cannot this particularly answer to this inquiry. The answer
(04:58):
is quantum physics. There are two two versions of reality
that exist at the same time, quantum physics. That's right,
you heard me, right, simultaneously true. Let me explain. So
it is true the Green Bay Packers did win more
games from year to year. They did increase their success rate.
(05:22):
And it is also true that Jordan Love was not
as good as he was the year they won fewer games.
Both those things are true. Now, what is my evidence?
So we've got the eyeball test, we've got the stat
test and we have just the general overall big picture
tests some thirty six thousand feet in the sky. So
(05:46):
Love missed many basic throws, rudimentary throws. Last season, he
had games where he looked like he had never played
quarterback before. Like they found him at a train station
and said, hey, how would you like the quarterback for
the Green Bay Packers. We'll give you a helmet with
some shoulder pads. He said, okay, I'll do it. You're
gonna pay me, I'll pay it. Okay, good, I'm gonna
(06:07):
go out there and play. And so this isn't about like,
I'm not hating on Jordan Love. Jordan Love is rather benign.
He doesn't get a reaction out of anyone. He's not
that interesting a sound bite. He plays for the Packers
in their community, owned them and all that. So it's
about keeping it real. So Jordan Love, he threw for
(06:30):
fewer yards, He had seven fewer touchdowns year to year
go year to year comps, had a lower completion percentage.
He had the same number of interceptions, however, and in
two fewer appearances from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty three.
(06:51):
So again, if you're a little slow. It's a weird
time of the morning or night, depending on where you are.
So fewer yards, seven fewer touchdowns, and had a lower
completion percentage, However, the same number of interceptings the regression.
It does not mean that Jordan Love now is a
their sheep blows type quarterback. Does not mean that. It
(07:14):
simply means, as the great Aristotle taught the world, that
water seeks its own level, and Love is settling in
to second tier, borderline third tier quarterback status that if
you look not at a list, because we don't do lists,
because Terry in England, a big fan of the show,
(07:34):
does not believe in list so and we do not either.
But on Big Ben's Big Board, Jordan Love is second tier,
and on the big board and then borderline third tier,
he's not anywhere near He can't even smell MVP contender,
can't smell it, cannot smell it all right now, Furthermore,
(07:56):
we have a follow up to the follow up to
the follow up dat line New England on this Patriots.
Patriots now have let their useful idiots in the media
know that they have no plans, no planes to say
bye bye to Stefan Diggs after multiple days of stories
trickling house, maybe we'll get rid of this guy. The
(08:20):
controversial yacht video which has been broken down frame by frame.
So how does that sound to you? All right? So
to me, as Mark Twain famously said, it's it's kind
of like the weather in the New England States. They
if you don't like the Stefan Diggs update, you just
(08:40):
wait a few minutes and there'll be a different update.
And that's how that's going to go. Stefan Diggs continues
to be a tinder box, not timber, a tinder box,
very framable. And I go back to the point we
made in a previous Mala monologue. The person that was
out there blabbing about the possibility of Stefan Diggs being
(09:02):
let go was Scott Zolac. Now, Scott Zolac was a
scrub NFL quarterback who is now a professional gas bag
and been that way for many, many years in Boston.
He's also a made man with the Patriots. He's in
the inner circle with Robert Kraft's Patriots. He does a
lot of the online stuff for the Patriots does at
least as far as I know, he still does it
with the Patriots website. So he's inside the building and
(09:26):
he was the one saying that they are considering getting
rid of Stefan Diggs. So it didn't come out of nowhere,
It came out of somewhere. And riddle me this batman,
what do you think Mike Rabel when he met with
Stefani's what do you think that Diggs told Mike Vrabel
about the video, the one with the pink baggie of
(09:49):
in air quotes rock candy because everyone in Miami who's
on a yacht with people wearing bikinis and whatnot there
they only use the rock candy. They don't use the
act well cocaine anyway. So educated guess, educated, guess that
Stefan Diggs said it was just a little bit of
(10:11):
role play, That's all it was. He was doing some cosplay.
He was the scar Face of the Sea, Stefan Diggs
with Cardi B. That kind of rhymes it Scarface of
the Sea with Cardi B. It flows. Wait till Stefan
starts holding team meetings. He's gonna get a party bus
because why not, and bring in Snoop Dogg. He can
(10:34):
be the DJ. He'll do anything. If you pay him,
and then a suitcase full of magical supplements will call
them and there'll be different colors and whatnot, and yeah,
it's good for business. Hey, I've said all along, guys
like Stefan Diggs. We need more of them, not less
of them. And it's not the football player Stefan Diggs,
(10:55):
because not really about football. It's about the Netflix docu
series with Stefan which is waiting to happen. It's waiting
to take place, the docu series behind the scenes with
Stefan Diggs. There have been some Internet rumors. I don't
know if they're sue or not, but I'll repeat them anyway.
Why not that there's some kind of there is some
kind of documentary that Digs is putting together. Anyway, last
(11:16):
thing to the Motown throw Down, Say what a heavyweight
contender in the National Football Conference has said bye bye
to one of their key players. That would be Detroit
center Frank Ragnow, four time Pro Bowler. Of course, the
(11:36):
Pro Bowl is tic tac tall at this point and
water balloon toss used to matter. Anyway, The Detroit center
Frank Ragnow has randomly decided to announce his retirement on
social media, the Lion Center and therefore very productive seasons
in Michigan. Frank Ragnow retiring here in early June, saying
(12:02):
I'm done. Is this fair or is this foul? Is
it fair or is it foul? So we've gone to
the booth review on this and we have determined the
arrow is pointing to foul capital f in fact, all
(12:22):
caps f o U L foul foul, foul foul. Now,
Frank Reraig, now, is it all pro?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Was?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I guess in past tense? Wasn't all pro? And was
an anchor of the offensive line, the the center and
the quarterback, the bond that they must have and supposedly
just elite. And you know, none of us actually watch
offensive linemen unless they sucked and then we goof on them.
It's not like we're paying attention to the offensively Noval
(12:52):
Horno bit I watched the offensive also lose there. I
played offensively. I was a star in high school offensive line.
Nobody pays attention to the offensive line anyway. So this
guy decides to walk away in early June, at age
twenty nine, What does that tell us? Well, this is
(13:13):
a dead give what it is a dead give way
that while Frank ragnow is good at football, or was
good at football. This was not a love story. It
was not. It was just a job, that's it. It
was not his life's passion. It was not a passion play.
(13:33):
And so he decided to go down the home depot
and to get some overhead screws and give them to
Dan Campbell. The old screw job pulled the rug right
out from underneath the coach and from the quarterback. And
while you certainly are entitled to retiring, you're not forced
to continue to play. Now is not the time. Now
(13:55):
is not the time, just like it wasn't the time
for the Colts back in the day when Andrew Luck
quit a couple weeks before the regular season. This is
not as bad, However, it's not much better, right Like
I understand, football is a brutal game. We get it.
It's bad decorm. Despite that, it's bad decorm. If you
(14:18):
knew that your body was telling you it's ov eer
okay ov er, that that's it, you likely knew that
when the Lions were exterminated by the Washington whatever they're
called now, So why wait until the very last second
to announce that this is the move you had the
(14:41):
entire officing. You had February of March. He had the April.
You had to May the whole thing. And timing does matter.
Timing matters on this because fair fair would have been
all right here, Let's let the front office know they
have time to replace you, that they could have rafted
your replacement, They could have made him move in a
(15:04):
trade or free agency. So you just don't do it.
And it's not fair to to anybody. It's a selfish
move to make this announcement at this particular time, and
especially the thing about the Lions, who are set up
now they have an excuse. The Lions are set up.
(15:24):
They are still one of the top teams in the NFC,
even though they lost Oh my god, their coordinators are gone. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. It's the players on the field, and
so they can. They're so close, these long suffering Lions fans.
The only time we used to watch the Lions when
I was a kid was on Thanksgiving. Why else would you?
And the Lions they're right there. They can almost taste
(15:46):
get into a super Bowl, and this is what happens,

the toad old fan in Colorado. Hello toad old fan?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Hey Ben, how's it going? A couple of things? You know?
I agree with you as far as the you know whatever.
His name is the Center for the Lions.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Frank Rag Now, Frank Rag. Now he's retired. Frank did
you really retire when you're twenty nine years old? Don't
you have to do something?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And especially the timing? I agree with you this show
all right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So you you think I nailed you. I nailed that take.
That was a great take.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I had, oh, big time, big time, you know, all right,
the same thing. But you know, Ortiz, what you're talking about.
As far as saying it should be up to the player,
I'm sorry, you know, I don't believe the letter I
is in the word team, so dahn that also goes,
but it isn't.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I isn't winning.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, there you go. Yeah, totally agree, totally agree.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
All right, and congratulations the Rockies won a game. Big
big news there in Colorado. The Rockies won a game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh no, they've won ten. Well, let's see, they win
one out of very six. What the heck?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They win one out of I think they there where
they're two and they're two and nine. They're two and
nine their last eleven.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So yeah, but they're ten and fifty totals. So for
every one they win, they lose five.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that would be awesome. If the Rockies can get
to twenty and one hundred, I would watch every one
of their games. I would. If they can get to
twenty and one hundred, I'm in. I'll watch. They're unwatchable,
but I'll watch. That's great. I loves. Yeah, the worst way.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I guess you're a glutton for punishment.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Well, it's like to think that they're plausibly trying to
win baseball games, and that's the product they are.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think they are. I don't think they're tanking purposely,
but I'm sorry. You know, they need you know, between
Montfort you know. I mean, I know in the past
he's tried bringing in like Hampton people like that and
it didn't quite work out. But is there GM. The
people they're drafting as bad as they've done, you know,
and unless they're stuck in the minor leagues, it's like
it's not translating to a product on the field so far.
(25:29):
It's like, uh, yeah, I consider a new GM. You
already got rid of a Bud Black. Why not through
the GM Under the buzz here's.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
What they should do, seriously, just for fun, just have
open tryouts and sign someone and put them on the team.
Have like one roster spot and you can rotate it
every month and have somebody that wins a contest play
for the Rockies. You know, they give stuff away every
year at the end of the year. They have to
(25:59):
fit and appreciation weekend or day or whatever. They'll give
away a car or a boat or something like that,
give away a roster spot, just say hey, you can
actually we're so bad, you can get in it bat
or you can pitch to a batter and we'll give
you a contract for a month and then we'll designate
you for assignment. YEA a great deal. But you can
(26:22):
make it a Netflix docu series. Who says, no, it's
been a great idea.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, well, i'll tell you what. I can remember a
certain Rams quarterback that used to be like a soccer
in a grocery store. And what happened with his story?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, he's currently hanging out in the Hall of Fame.
All Right, I gotta go. But the you trendo's called
great voice, great voice, tremendous car go away. Now, this
is quite detail. A suspect who took a page out
of Taylor Swift's playbook. Yeah, so major League Baseball prospect
(26:58):
for the Red Sox, Roman Anthony, sounds like a god,
Roman Anthony, who's can't miss this guy's gonna hit blah
blah blah blah blah. So this video went viral reason.
I don't know if you saw this or that, but
he was trying to get out of the stadium. There
were a bunch of autograph hounds who were trying to
(27:19):
get his signature because they think he's gonna be a
big star and his autographs can be worth a lot
of money. And so he was trying to get out
of the stadium and he took a Taylor Swift like move.
What does that mean? Did he dress up like a woman?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
The team put him in an equipment cart and they
covered it with different items from the locker room, so
it looked like they were just pushing the cart out
of the locker room and all these dopes are standing
there with their Roman Anthony pictures and their their baseball
cards and all that, and they just pushed the cart
(27:58):
out and then when they get to the bus, they
pull all the different bags and all the different stuff
off the cart and then it's like a magic trick.
This guy Roman Anthony pops up and goes right in
the bus. He's escorted covertly like some kind of cloak
and dagger mission, and he gets on those and this
(28:19):
is the famous story that Taylor Swift. There was the
story that she got taken out of Arrowhead Stadium in
like a snack cart. That she squatted down on a
snack cart and that was the snaky that was the move,
and so why not? What the hell? But there's actually
(28:40):
a video of this, and on some level it's mildly impressive.
It's mildly impressive. It is that he pulled this off,
for sure. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
were working away through the overnight, I also saw this story.
I thought this was interesting because of the gambling element
to it. Remember when I was a young lad and
(29:01):
the WNBA started, and it was one of the most
hilarious stories that I can recall around that time. This
goes back to the nineties early two thousands. There were
some dudes that made a killing betting on the WNBA.
And the reason that they did is because the casinos
(29:25):
did not think that the WNBA is worth their time,
so they didn't really pay attention to to the teams
that were good, the players that were good. They didn't
really focus in on all the minutia that you need
to focus in on when you're setting lines and stuff
like that. So people took advantage of a blind spot
and they studied the WNBA and when no one was watching,
(29:46):
like still no one's watching today other than when Caitlin
Clark's playing, and they made a killing. So I bring
this up because there's a story that recently a bunch
of gamblers, this has gone viral. They have bent a
prop and they have won. It involves Angel Reese. I'm
told that's a female basketball player, not a good one.
So they've been betting that she will miss the first
(30:11):
shot that she takes, and they've been killing it this
season now. According to the store I was readden she
made her first shot for who can I mean, nobody
knows the names of these WNE teams anyway, whatever seams
she's playing for, she made the first shot of the
season opening game. Since then, the last five games, she
(30:32):
has missed the first shot five consecutive games. And you
can bet on that and chi ching chi ching to changing.
There's a bunch of videos of people celebrating, In fact,
one person claiming they bet as much as one hundred
thousand dollars that Angel Reese would miss.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Her her she's so bad.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Can you imagine betting one hundred thousand dollars though, that
Angel Reese would miss a Like, oh my god, It's
like people that bound a coin toss at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Has ever been an NBA equivalent to Angel Reese somebody
who like it seems like they're good because they they
get a bunch of rebounds, but really it's just because
they keep rebounding their own miss less.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh yeah, there's been players like that that, you know,
you clean up their own garbage, and uh yeah it was.
There's a guy named Larry Smith I think was his name,
played for like the Warriors in the eighties and nineties,
and he got a lot of rebounds, but I feel
like a lot of it was just in missing shots
that he just got his own. But she's, hey, maybe
(31:41):
I should get in on that. Let's see what we
get some action on that and get me to watch
the WNBS. Angel Rees miss her first shot one hundred grand.
Who knows if he actually did or not, but that's
what they're saying, one hundred thousand. Man. All right, here's
the ban mallards. Oh, we are rolling through the overnight.
