Speaker 2 (01:02):
But here's our number four.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio a case of curious

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But our lead this hour is from the NFL last
night in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Just one game, not much of a game, not much
of a game.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You had Golden State go behind thirteen, I thing Minnesota
with a kickass win. They ended up blowing out the
Golden State Warriors as Golden State was discombobulated. They were
bedraggled and frazzled without Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But I leave this.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hours from the NFL follow up follow up to previous
Mallar monologue follow up. Wide receiver George Pickens had a
conference call, not a press conference, conference call with reporters
after he was dumped by the Pittsburgh football team and
sent to the Dallas football team. Now, if you didn't
hear any of this or any of the highlights of it,
(03:28):
Piggins was on his very best behavior when asked about
Mike Tomlin saying that Pickens needed to grow up.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That was the famous line Tomlin ughs back in the day.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
In Pittsburgh, Pickins said, everybody in the world has to
grow as you get older. Okay. Pickins also says he
wants to prove himself before earning a new contract. One
of the reasons that Pittsburgh said bye bye to mister
Pickens is because after this year rookie contract is done
(04:00):
and the price point will go much much higher, much
much higher. I thought that was the juiciest part of this.
So let us discuss the question, what are the reasons?
What are the reasons behind George Pickens saying that he
wants to quote prove himself before.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Earning a new deal with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So on this one, I've got Tony Bennett, quicksand and Talladega,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a cupcake with extra frosting,
and then we'll eat that, and then the next meal
will have the baba Ganoosh. We're gonna have the babaganosh.
Now to lead off George Pickens. The reason behind George
(04:45):
Pickens saying that he wants to prove himself before the Cowboys?
Pam okay, two words, no choice, he has no choice? Okay,
mono mono, head to head, shoulder to shoulder, eyed eye,
he has no The Steelers were not gonna pay him,
so they traded him. Most of the NFL wanted nothing
(05:07):
to do with George Pickens.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
How do we know that?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We know that because the Cowboys got him for pennies
on the dollar. The perception of George Pickens is elite
level wide receiver. The reality of George Pickens is eh, eh,
not that kid. And so the Cowboys took a flyer
(05:31):
on him. They didn't give up that much. And Pickens
is spinning this and listen, he said all the right
things and all that, but it's an obvious spin job
where he's trying to say, I'm the bigger man and
all this stuff, and you know, I'm gonna make chicken
salad out of chicken feathers, and you know, crank up
the old Tony bennettoon, put on a happy face, right,
(05:51):
spread sunshine all over the place, put on a happy face.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But that was terrible. But just between you and me
and the moon light that is out there. If Jerry
Jones called up George Pickens today and said, you know, George,
I want to pay you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I why not.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know, we just seem like a nice gentleman. I'll
pay a lot of money, give me the bag. Is
George Pickens gonna say, I don't want the bag. I
don't deserve the back, I don't need the bag. I
don't want anything to do with the bag because I
want to prove myself before signing. Or is George Pickens
going to run to the email and open up the
docu sign and sign. Of course that was a rhetorical question.
(06:34):
Now furthermore, minor minor controversy NFC South minor controversy NFC
South dayline, Atlanta. That is where a uprising, a cyber
uprising is taking place for the Dirty Birds fans. So
a number of die hard if there is such a thing,
Atlanta Falcon fans appalled why rookie linebacker Javaughn Walker Javon
(07:01):
Walker is going to keep his college number number eleven.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
As he begins his pro career. Now, that is a
famous number for the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That is the jersey that Julio Jones, the greatest receiver
in Falcon history war, So that's his number. The question
should the Falcons have kept Julio Jones number eleven off
limits or is it fair game for Javon Walker. So
after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, we have determined it's
(07:36):
kochher right. Now for the people complaining, I don't know
how many people are actually complaining about this, but for
those that are, tell me you don't know about what
you're talking about. Without telling me, you don't know what
you're talking about. You see the Atlanta Falcons organization. Can
you name all the retired numbers? Go ahead, named I'll
sit here and wait. Name the retired numbers for the Falcons.
(07:58):
Go ahead, I'm gonna wait. Okay, yeah, none. The answer
is zero. The Falcons organization does not retire numbers. They don't.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They have the ring, the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Bravo. We fully support the Atlanta Falcons. I'm not a fan.
I got no skin in the game. But this is
what you're supposed to do, right, This is what you're
supposed to do the Falcons.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You don't need to retire numbers. You have the Ring
of Honor. That's how you celebrate the accomplishments of great players.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Therefore, we're all good, right, They're all good in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And so the other part of this is, does wearing.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Number eleven put some kind of unfair expectations on Javon Walker?
And listen, he knows what he signed up for. The
Falcons traded with the Rams. They gave up a number
one pick next year to get this guy. So that
comes with the territory. Now meanwhile in Vegas after going
number six, number six overall in the twenty twenty five draft,
(09:06):
we have been told now that running back Ashton Genty,
he's a running back and he's also rich. He signed
a rookie contract for thirty five point eight million.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Why am I bringing that up?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He is now Ashton Genty without playing a game, the
sixth highest paid running back in the NFL. So question,
how do you evaluate the Ashton Genty payday from the Raiders.
So this is another example of why Tom Brady is
bad at his job.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm sure he'll go on some podcasts and say, wasn't me.
I didn't have anything to do with this, But.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You don't pay the running back. You don't give the
running back that kind of countrct I. They had no choice.
They picked him at the top ten. They shouldn't have
done that. Tom Brady is in quicksand every move this
guy makes is disaster. He traded for Gino Smith. Everyone
knows he blows right. He traded for a quarterback. Now
you know stinks. Couldn't convince Matthew Stafford to go there.
(10:10):
Tried to get a younger hip coach and hired Pete
Carroll instead, and so I've determined anytime the Raiders do
something perceived to be good, Brady is like, oh yeah,
that must have been the Brady influence, and he's the
GM by proxy. But when they don't do things, well,
oh yeah, I did nothing to do with that. Pick
(10:30):
your side of the aisle. Picked your side of the aisle.
You don't draft running backs this high to avoid what the.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Raiders are now paying him.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Untried and untested, Ashton Genty is the sixth highest pid
running back in the NFL, only Josh Jacobs. By the way,
former Raider Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor, Sekwan Barkley seemed to
be pretty good in Philadelphia. Christian McCaffrey, he's hurt again.
And ramondre Stevenson, of all people, have larger contracts than
Ashton Genty and better yet, his rookie deal is fully
(11:06):
Garrey on tee, meaning that Ashton Genty is gonna get
every penny, not a dimeback, not a dimeback, every penny's
gonna get on that deal. And that is the kind
of a deal. Christian McCaffrey does not have that. Jacobs,
like most of those guys. I'm pretty sure DeAndre Romandre
(11:27):
Stevenson of the Patriots does not have that kind of
a sweetheart deal. Right, last thing, we head now to
the Music City or the Tennessee Titans GM. Mike Borganzi.
Who Mike Borganzi. He was with the Chiefs for a
number of years and in a recent interview he drew
(11:47):
similarities between the number one overall cam Ward and Patrick
Mahooney Patrick Mahomes. Now the claims that Borgazi was there
in Kansas City and drafted, drafted Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So how many people are taking credit for Mahomes going
to the Chiefs? Was it Andy Reid?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because I remember at the draft in twenty seventeen they
were like, this is a guy Andy Reid likes a lot,
and there were some other executives. So does everyone get
to ride the coattails of Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Like, I've never heard of this guy? Anyway? He went
on a rant the Titans GM.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
He said, the arm talent obviously stands out with cam Ward,
some of the natural instincts and poise in the pocket,
as the ability to create outside the pocket.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So question the Tennessee Titans GM some Schmendrick named Mike
Borganzi comparing cam Ward to Patrick Mahomes. Can you put
into context what this means? Okay, so I will. I'm
gonna go Talladega as in Talladega Knights, and do not
(13:00):
put that evil on me.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Ricky Bobby, Right, well, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
The TENNESSEEGM is cranking up the old pressure cooker high expectations,
which I'm okay with. I do a talk show, but
high expectations for many professional athletes. It's like a pressure cooker,
too much heat and everything.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Goes pa boom, it all explodes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And it was the great Teddy Roosevelt who said the
comparison is the thief of joy. So I went back
and I checked my notes because this guy Borganzi is
comparing cam Ward to Patrick Mahomes. So I went back
to my notes from Believe It or Not. I have
notes from the twenty seventeen NFL draft What a Loser. Well,
(13:48):
it's actually saved on my email. But I went back
and I was going through my archive of notes from
the show. So I look back and here are the comparisons.
I mentioned this in Mallard monologues. In twenty seventeen, we're
getting ready for the draft. Patrick Mahomes going into the
draft out of Texas Tech was compared to the following
three quarterbacks, Jay Cutler, Derek Carr, and Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Those were the cops.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They said, Mahomes has a skill set, he's a little reckless,
kind of like Jay Cutler's got a little car and
him and Johnny Manzil.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So how'd that work? Good luck, good Lucke.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, listen, if cam Ward turns out to be Mahomes, okay,
you're done, You're great. But really, what this guy, the
GM Mike Burgonzi is saying is listen, he is tied
to cam woredon. If cam Ward is an absolute stiff,
then Ward will be gone, Borgonzi will be gone and
(14:50):
some other schmuck will be in there and be doing
the bidding for.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The Tennessee Titan.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So you might as well talk the guy up because
if he's good, you're fine.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If not, they'll blame you anyway, So good luck on that.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Homies from the street.

not that easy, not that easy.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
All right, let's get to the phones, and speaking of
not easy, navigating the calls, and we'll say hello to
eenie meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to blind Scott,
who's on the North end of Boston.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I think it was a York Knicks fan. I'm actually
a street person.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Like, if there's.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Anybody who's the street person and on the whole Nould militia,
it's me. I'm on the streets every day, dude. I
scared some of you away trying to steal a catallic
converter outside like about an hour ago, I was able
to do it. I'm not supposed to leave the front
door to do this because they'll beat you up if
you get too close to them. But I did it.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
How did you scare them? Exactly?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I just like was like, hey, get.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Out of there.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
And I started throwing all this trash out the window
and everything I was throwing, like cans and water. But
they pulled up right They pulled up right right next
to it.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
On like a moment nightmare.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I heard them start their sawballs up.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And I said, you know, do you imagine can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You're like, uh, you're out there, You're a criminal, You're
you're stealing crap.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And Blind Scott is leaning out the window.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
What floor are you on?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Blind Scott, I'm.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Seventy five feet in the air. That's the tire.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
You're seven seventy five feet in the air. It's nighttime.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Blind Scott's throwing water bottles and various trash debris on
top of you.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What a wonderful night that must be.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Every night I throw a five gallon trash back out
the window at three zero five in the morning, It's
optimal time to do that because that's when no one's there,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
What if somebody, what if somebody happens to be there
for some reason, maybe there's bakery.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah, they're there. They're there sometimes, so you go, you listen,
and then people are looking for cans. They're gonna be like, hey,
anybody down there, and then you throw it and like
you can tie it two times and you get these
heavy duty bags so they don't break. But the neighbors
set up cameras all the time to try to catch
me doing these type of things so somebody might confront
(20:35):
me with like you seen, I get those seats into cislaters.
I ignore them all the time. I got ivy league
level lawyers on this show that represent me. One in
New Jersey, I mean the other in other states that
don't want to be named.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
When I said, I think I think I know the
I think I know the lawyer in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think I know who that is.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
They they tried to bring like a lawsuit against me
and it didn't even get into the courts. I'm going
to get a new guide dog and everything, like I'm
in the right. Like people aren't gonna do to angry
New York Knicks fans too, like Marcello, that guy after
the meet and greet, that guy Marcello in Brooklyn. Did
you hear what him and j Dot Carter did in
the hotel room. I don't think we can talk about
it on the show. God yeah, they had like a
(21:17):
ball party and everything. That's not a meet and Greek party.
That's an after meet and Greek party.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Maybe it's.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, I think that's where when you play pool, if
you get behind the eight ball.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
They were playing pool. I think that's what was happening.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, you're gonna be careful. You need a test kit
to make sure it's real eight ball. You don't want
to end up like in the Morgue, like a lot
of people do it. I feel for these people in
prison that are listening that guy Andrew. You read his letter,
the guy from prison, he listens this hour. You read
his letter?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, yeah I did. I did. I did read his letter.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
They're listening in the fourth hour. I've been locked up before.
They don't let you wake up to around four am,
you know, so, so that's when they can listen to
the radio.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Or they might let him.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I might, but prison is. But I would do conjugal
visits for people in prison for the right place, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay, thank you, all right. I don't need to hear
I mean.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
God, interesting, let me take notes here.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Where's Marcell? Where's Marcel?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I don't know, I don't know it's Marcel, I don't
I don't know. He usually calls in this New York.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Fans are real scary. You've seen them under the hoop
in the garden. Then one hundred of them they took
over the garden. They couldn't remove them. They were singing
like some song like we sing on this show, and
they didn't have security to remove them. Dude, they're scary.
I almost got beat up. A whole group of Knicks
fans almost beat me up in front of the garden.
And you know you're got to say, like, they're really
(22:38):
not going to beat you up, but they's a really scary.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like you haven't mentioned you haven't mentioned what you haven't mentioned?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, Fred Toucher, All I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You got you mentioned Fred's name. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, Fred's the bing morning guy in Boston.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You mentioned his name.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Fine, Hey, let's go to Keg Drinking Steve. It gets
even better. If it's possible to get better, it gets
even better. Hello Keg Drinking Steve. Oh Man, Okay, thank you, Okay,
we'll hang up on you.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, he didn't have anything to say. I don't have
time to wait. What am I gonna sit here? And wait?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I mean, it's a rapid rat a tat tat rat
a tat tat.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
But listen, Ben, there's some props that need a time
to be played like this one.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Here's the ultimate look at me bro So. Back in
the old days.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
If you wanted to go viral, if a player was
traded or did something to upset you left in free agency,
you would burn the jersey. Those used to be viral videos,
and people still do that. I'll burn the jersey. But
did you see what one Pittsburg Steeler fan, a Yinzer
(23:54):
did as George Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys.
He went roll for urin Nation a urination situation. He
took out the George Pickens jersey and urinated. But the
reason that doesn't really work is because you can always
just wash it, So if you burn it, you're done now.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was at a Chiefs game with my my friend
the Great Bob.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Fesco and and his crew at a tailgate party, and
they burned a Bronco horsey and effigy.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
They burned it right there at the tailgate stadium.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah, he was Bronco.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was it was. It was
a stuffed animal, but it was.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Kind of real.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It was kind of real.

of time. Uh, So there's a there's a theory that
I believe that in every joke there's a little truth
in every joke, there's a little truth. And Sean McVay
was kidding around. He said the Rams won't get poop
I cleaned that up. Won't get poop done football wise
during their Hawaiian mini camp. And Sean McVay is one
(29:43):
thousand percent right.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
They are not rolling there for.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Or they're doing some of that. They're going there to
practice practice, not not a not a game, but they're
gonna practice goodwill. They're gonna go out and hang out
and do all that stuff. I gotta quick question. This
is from who's just from? Mike sent this on my email.
He says, Ben I saw this going around. I wanted
(30:08):
to get the cruise opinion. What smell do you like
the most? And the options are bread baking, the smell
of gasoline, the smell of a new book, or the
smell of the ground after rain. Okay, so which one
I'm gonna go? I like I like the smell of
all those things. I think most people do.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Huh, I'm gonna go rain. I think it's kind of
right after the rain. I think that's the way to go.
Speaker 11 (30:38):
Yeah, I really love that after the rain smell, especially
with like cement specifically.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
But me, I'm probably gonna have to go with bread baking.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
I love the smell of a bakery or if I
go into like a pizza parlor and like the dough,
Oh my gosh, that smells so good.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But I like the smell of gasoline too.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
I love you know, you cannot breede that in. You know,
those are toxic fumes.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You can't ben I'm still here. But I love the
smell of gasoline, you know what.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I also like, I feel very masculine when I walk
into a tire shop the smell of the the tires.

Lorena is keeping score, so she's using Loraina math in
honor of Tyrus Aliverton. These athletes perform celebrations that were
deemed unsportsmanlike for two hundred dollars. This beast of an
athlete was fined multiple times for a crotch grab, most
(37:50):
famously versus the New Orleans Saints. Come on, this beast
of an athlete would grab his crotch as he was
jumping into the end zone. No, Kyle, Kyle, there you go,

Gravis Kelsey?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
No, Jimmy Graham, Jimmy Graham all right last one.

a Friday special only available here in the podcast format.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
But this is the radio show. We were up all
night with the radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So here in hour number four, what are the reasons
behind wide receiver George Pickens saying he wants to quote
prove himself before.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Earning a new deal with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Also, should the Falcons have kept Julio Jones number eleven
off limits?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Or is it fair.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Game for rookie Javon Walker who has been given that number?
And the Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borganzi compared quarterback
cam Newton or cam Ward rather cam Ward to Patrick Mahomes.
Then you put into context what all of that means.
We'll get to those stories and more. Have a wonderful,
wonderful weekend late Friday member Fifth Hour Podcast this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But here's our number four.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio a case of curious
George if you will welcome in the beginning of another

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But our lead this hour is from the NFL last
night in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Just one game, not much of a game, not much
of a game.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You had Golden State go behind thirteen, I thing Minnesota
with a kickass win. They ended up blowing out the
Golden State Warriors as Golden State was discombobulated. They were
bedraggled and frazzled without Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But I leave this.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hours from the NFL follow up follow up to previous
Mallar monologue follow up. Wide receiver George Pickens had a
conference call, not a press conference, conference call with reporters
after he was dumped by the Pittsburgh football team and
sent to the Dallas football team. Now, if you didn't
hear any of this or any of the highlights of it,
(03:28):
Piggins was on his very best behavior when asked about
Mike Tomlin saying that Pickens needed to grow up.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That was the famous line Tomlin ughs back in the day.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
In Pittsburgh, Pickins said, everybody in the world has to
grow as you get older. Okay. Pickins also says he
wants to prove himself before earning a new contract. One
of the reasons that Pittsburgh said bye bye to mister
Pickens is because after this year rookie contract is done
(04:00):
and the price point will go much much higher, much
much higher. I thought that was the juiciest part of this.
So let us discuss the question, what are the reasons?
What are the reasons behind George Pickens saying that he
wants to quote prove himself before.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Earning a new deal with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So on this one, I've got Tony Bennett, quicksand and Talladega,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a cupcake with extra frosting,
and then we'll eat that, and then the next meal
will have the baba Ganoosh. We're gonna have the babaganosh.
Now to lead off George Pickens. The reason behind George
(04:45):
Pickens saying that he wants to prove himself before the Cowboys?
Pam okay, two words, no choice, he has no choice? Okay,
mono mono, head to head, shoulder to shoulder, eyed eye,
he has no The Steelers were not gonna pay him,
so they traded him. Most of the NFL wanted nothing
(05:07):
to do with George Pickens.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
How do we know that?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We know that because the Cowboys got him for pennies
on the dollar. The perception of George Pickens is elite
level wide receiver. The reality of George Pickens is eh, eh,
not that kid. And so the Cowboys took a flyer
(05:31):
on him. They didn't give up that much. And Pickens
is spinning this and listen, he said all the right
things and all that, but it's an obvious spin job
where he's trying to say, I'm the bigger man and
all this stuff, and you know, I'm gonna make chicken
salad out of chicken feathers, and you know, crank up
the old Tony bennettoon, put on a happy face, right,
(05:51):
spread sunshine all over the place, put on a happy face.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But that was terrible. But just between you and me
and the moon light that is out there. If Jerry
Jones called up George Pickens today and said, you know, George,
I want to pay you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I why not.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know, we just seem like a nice gentleman. I'll
pay a lot of money, give me the bag. Is
George Pickens gonna say, I don't want the bag. I
don't deserve the back, I don't need the bag. I
don't want anything to do with the bag because I
want to prove myself before signing. Or is George Pickens
going to run to the email and open up the
docu sign and sign. Of course that was a rhetorical question.
(06:34):
Now furthermore, minor minor controversy NFC South minor controversy NFC
South dayline, Atlanta. That is where a uprising, a cyber
uprising is taking place for the Dirty Birds fans. So
a number of die hard if there is such a thing,
Atlanta Falcon fans appalled why rookie linebacker Javaughn Walker Javon
(07:01):
Walker is going to keep his college number number eleven.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
As he begins his pro career. Now, that is a
famous number for the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That is the jersey that Julio Jones, the greatest receiver
in Falcon history war, So that's his number. The question
should the Falcons have kept Julio Jones number eleven off
limits or is it fair game for Javon Walker. So
after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, we have determined it's
(07:36):
kochher right. Now for the people complaining, I don't know
how many people are actually complaining about this, but for
those that are, tell me you don't know about what
you're talking about. Without telling me, you don't know what
you're talking about. You see the Atlanta Falcons organization. Can
you name all the retired numbers? Go ahead, named I'll
sit here and wait. Name the retired numbers for the Falcons.
(07:58):
Go ahead, I'm gonna wait. Okay, yeah, none. The answer
is zero. The Falcons organization does not retire numbers. They don't.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They have the ring, the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Bravo. We fully support the Atlanta Falcons. I'm not a fan.
I got no skin in the game. But this is
what you're supposed to do, right, This is what you're
supposed to do the Falcons.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You don't need to retire numbers. You have the Ring
of Honor. That's how you celebrate the accomplishments of great players.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Therefore, we're all good, right, They're all good in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And so the other part of this is, does wearing.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Number eleven put some kind of unfair expectations on Javon Walker?
And listen, he knows what he signed up for. The
Falcons traded with the Rams. They gave up a number
one pick next year to get this guy. So that
comes with the territory. Now meanwhile in Vegas after going
number six, number six overall in the twenty twenty five draft,
(09:06):
we have been told now that running back Ashton Genty,
he's a running back and he's also rich. He signed
a rookie contract for thirty five point eight million.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Why am I bringing that up?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He is now Ashton Genty without playing a game, the
sixth highest paid running back in the NFL. So question,
how do you evaluate the Ashton Genty payday from the Raiders.
So this is another example of why Tom Brady is
bad at his job.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm sure he'll go on some podcasts and say, wasn't me.
I didn't have anything to do with this, But.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You don't pay the running back. You don't give the
running back that kind of countrct I. They had no choice.
They picked him at the top ten. They shouldn't have
done that. Tom Brady is in quicksand every move this
guy makes is disaster. He traded for Gino Smith. Everyone
knows he blows right. He traded for a quarterback. Now
you know stinks. Couldn't convince Matthew Stafford to go there.
(10:10):
Tried to get a younger hip coach and hired Pete
Carroll instead, and so I've determined anytime the Raiders do
something perceived to be good, Brady is like, oh yeah,
that must have been the Brady influence, and he's the
GM by proxy. But when they don't do things, well,
oh yeah, I did nothing to do with that. Pick
(10:30):
your side of the aisle. Picked your side of the aisle.
You don't draft running backs this high to avoid what the.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Raiders are now paying him.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Untried and untested, Ashton Genty is the sixth highest pid
running back in the NFL, only Josh Jacobs. By the way,
former Raider Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor, Sekwan Barkley seemed to
be pretty good in Philadelphia. Christian McCaffrey, he's hurt again.
And ramondre Stevenson, of all people, have larger contracts than
Ashton Genty and better yet, his rookie deal is fully
(11:06):
Garrey on tee, meaning that Ashton Genty is gonna get
every penny, not a dimeback, not a dimeback, every penny's
gonna get on that deal. And that is the kind
of a deal. Christian McCaffrey does not have that. Jacobs,
like most of those guys. I'm pretty sure DeAndre Romandre
(11:27):
Stevenson of the Patriots does not have that kind of
a sweetheart deal. Right, last thing, we head now to
the Music City or the Tennessee Titans GM. Mike Borganzi.
Who Mike Borganzi. He was with the Chiefs for a
number of years and in a recent interview he drew
(11:47):
similarities between the number one overall cam Ward and Patrick
Mahooney Patrick Mahomes. Now the claims that Borgazi was there
in Kansas City and drafted, drafted Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So how many people are taking credit for Mahomes going
to the Chiefs? Was it Andy Reid?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because I remember at the draft in twenty seventeen they
were like, this is a guy Andy Reid likes a lot,
and there were some other executives. So does everyone get
to ride the coattails of Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Like, I've never heard of this guy? Anyway? He went
on a rant the Titans GM.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
He said, the arm talent obviously stands out with cam Ward,
some of the natural instincts and poise in the pocket,
as the ability to create outside the pocket.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So question the Tennessee Titans GM some Schmendrick named Mike
Borganzi comparing cam Ward to Patrick Mahomes. Can you put
into context what this means? Okay, so I will. I'm
gonna go Talladega as in Talladega Knights, and do not
(13:00):
put that evil on me.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Ricky Bobby, Right, well, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
The TENNESSEEGM is cranking up the old pressure cooker high expectations,
which I'm okay with. I do a talk show, but
high expectations for many professional athletes. It's like a pressure cooker,
too much heat and everything.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Goes pa boom, it all explodes.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And it was the great Teddy Roosevelt who said the
comparison is the thief of joy. So I went back
and I checked my notes because this guy Borganzi is
comparing cam Ward to Patrick Mahomes. So I went back
to my notes from Believe It or Not. I have
notes from the twenty seventeen NFL draft What a Loser. Well,
(13:48):
it's actually saved on my email. But I went back
and I was going through my archive of notes from
the show. So I look back and here are the comparisons.
I mentioned this in Mallard monologues. In twenty seventeen, we're
getting ready for the draft. Patrick Mahomes going into the
draft out of Texas Tech was compared to the following
three quarterbacks, Jay Cutler, Derek Carr, and Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Those were the cops.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They said, Mahomes has a skill set, he's a little reckless,
kind of like Jay Cutler's got a little car and
him and Johnny Manzil.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So how'd that work? Good luck, good Lucke.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, listen, if cam Ward turns out to be Mahomes, okay,
you're done, You're great. But really, what this guy, the
GM Mike Burgonzi is saying is listen, he is tied
to cam woredon. If cam Ward is an absolute stiff,
then Ward will be gone, Borgonzi will be gone and
(14:50):
some other schmuck will be in there and be doing
the bidding for.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The Tennessee Titan.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So you might as well talk the guy up because
if he's good, you're fine.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If not, they'll blame you anyway, So good luck on that.
It is the Ben Maler Show. Don't forget. We have

And let the record show, as my friend Alf the
alien Opiner can opine, that I was raised on the streets. Well,
actually I was raised on a street, Sesame Street, and
I had a lot of homies. Man, I had Big
bird at Oscar, the Grouch, snuffle off Agus. Those were my.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Homies from the street.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Street man.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, that was the street man. That's how I grew up. Man,
the mean street, Sesame Street. That was tough. It was
not that easy, not that easy.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
All right, let's get to the phones, and speaking of
not easy, navigating the calls, and we'll say hello to
eenie meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to blind Scott,
who's on the North end of Boston.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I think it was a York Knicks fan. I'm actually
a street person.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Like, if there's.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Anybody who's the street person and on the whole Nould militia,
it's me. I'm on the streets every day, dude. I
scared some of you away trying to steal a catallic
converter outside like about an hour ago, I was able
to do it. I'm not supposed to leave the front
door to do this because they'll beat you up if
you get too close to them. But I did it.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
How did you scare them? Exactly?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I just like was like, hey, get.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Out of there.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
And I started throwing all this trash out the window
and everything I was throwing, like cans and water. But
they pulled up right They pulled up right right next
to it.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
On like a moment nightmare.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I heard them start their sawballs up.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And I said, you know, do you imagine can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You're like, uh, you're out there, You're a criminal, You're
you're stealing crap.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And Blind Scott is leaning out the window.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
What floor are you on?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Blind Scott, I'm.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Seventy five feet in the air. That's the tire.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
You're seven seventy five feet in the air. It's nighttime.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Blind Scott's throwing water bottles and various trash debris on
top of you.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What a wonderful night that must be.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Every night I throw a five gallon trash back out
the window at three zero five in the morning, It's
optimal time to do that because that's when no one's there,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
What if somebody, what if somebody happens to be there
for some reason, maybe there's bakery.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah, they're there. They're there sometimes, so you go, you listen,
and then people are looking for cans. They're gonna be like, hey,
anybody down there, and then you throw it and like
you can tie it two times and you get these
heavy duty bags so they don't break. But the neighbors
set up cameras all the time to try to catch
me doing these type of things so somebody might confront
(20:35):
me with like you seen, I get those seats into cislaters.
I ignore them all the time. I got ivy league
level lawyers on this show that represent me. One in
New Jersey, I mean the other in other states that
don't want to be named.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
When I said, I think I think I know the
I think I know the lawyer in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think I know who that is.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
They they tried to bring like a lawsuit against me
and it didn't even get into the courts. I'm going
to get a new guide dog and everything, like I'm
in the right. Like people aren't gonna do to angry
New York Knicks fans too, like Marcello, that guy after
the meet and greet, that guy Marcello in Brooklyn. Did
you hear what him and j Dot Carter did in
the hotel room. I don't think we can talk about
it on the show. God yeah, they had like a
(21:17):
ball party and everything. That's not a meet and Greek party.
That's an after meet and Greek party.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Maybe it's.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, I think that's where when you play pool, if
you get behind the eight ball.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
They were playing pool. I think that's what was happening.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, you're gonna be careful. You need a test kit
to make sure it's real eight ball. You don't want
to end up like in the Morgue, like a lot
of people do it. I feel for these people in
prison that are listening that guy Andrew. You read his letter,
the guy from prison, he listens this hour. You read
his letter?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, yeah I did. I did. I did read his letter.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
They're listening in the fourth hour. I've been locked up before.
They don't let you wake up to around four am,
you know, so, so that's when they can listen to
the radio.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Or they might let him.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I might, but prison is. But I would do conjugal
visits for people in prison for the right place, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay, thank you, all right. I don't need to hear
I mean.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
God, interesting, let me take notes here.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Where's Marcell? Where's Marcel?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I don't know, I don't know it's Marcel, I don't
I don't know. He usually calls in this New York.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Fans are real scary. You've seen them under the hoop
in the garden. Then one hundred of them they took
over the garden. They couldn't remove them. They were singing
like some song like we sing on this show, and
they didn't have security to remove them. Dude, they're scary.
I almost got beat up. A whole group of Knicks
fans almost beat me up in front of the garden.
And you know you're got to say, like, they're really
(22:38):
not going to beat you up, but they's a really scary.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like you haven't mentioned you haven't mentioned what you haven't mentioned?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, Fred Toucher, All I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You got you mentioned Fred's name. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, Fred's the bing morning guy in Boston.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You mentioned his name.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Fine, Hey, let's go to Keg Drinking Steve. It gets
even better. If it's possible to get better, it gets
even better. Hello Keg Drinking Steve. Oh Man, Okay, thank you, Okay,
we'll hang up on you.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, he didn't have anything to say. I don't have
time to wait. What am I gonna sit here? And wait?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I mean, it's a rapid rat a tat tat rat
a tat tat.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
But listen, Ben, there's some props that need a time
to be played like this one.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Here's the ultimate look at me bro So. Back in
the old days.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
If you wanted to go viral, if a player was
traded or did something to upset you left in free agency,
you would burn the jersey. Those used to be viral videos,
and people still do that. I'll burn the jersey. But
did you see what one Pittsburg Steeler fan, a Yinzer
(23:54):
did as George Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys.
He went roll for urin Nation a urination situation. He
took out the George Pickens jersey and urinated. But the
reason that doesn't really work is because you can always
just wash it, So if you burn it, you're done now.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was at a Chiefs game with my my friend
the Great Bob.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Fesco and and his crew at a tailgate party, and
they burned a Bronco horsey and effigy.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
They burned it right there at the tailgate stadium.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah, he was Bronco.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was it was. It was
a stuffed animal, but it was.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Kind of real.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It was kind of real.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh yeah, isn't that while and uh so we were
there tailgating and it was. Yes, they do it before
the before the game, they have the big event and
it was it was wild. So they do that every
game and then there's nothing left. We looked at there
was a pile of ash, a pile of ash that
was left.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
After that happened. So there you go. You gotta do
more tailgating. That's a Larraine. You gotta guys there in tailgate.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I would love to tailgate.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
You would. Someone will invite you to tailgate.

Get like drunk in the back of a truck with
a grill. Right, there's there's grills and tailgates and hot dogs.

in every joke, there's a little truth. And Sean McVay
was kidding around. He said the Rams won't get poop
I cleaned that up. Won't get poop done football wise
during their Hawaiian mini camp. And Sean McVay is one
(29:43):
thousand percent right.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
They are not rolling there for.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Or they're doing some of that. They're going there to
practice practice, not not a not a game, but they're
gonna practice goodwill. They're gonna go out and hang out
and do all that stuff. I gotta quick question. This
is from who's just from? Mike sent this on my email.
He says, Ben I saw this going around. I wanted
(30:08):
to get the cruise opinion. What smell do you like
the most? And the options are bread baking, the smell
of gasoline, the smell of a new book, or the
smell of the ground after rain. Okay, so which one
I'm gonna go? I like I like the smell of
all those things. I think most people do.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
